I'm pretty sure ethan was the person who sided with FNS and not mada

do you have anything to say about the two quotes I sent before besides "reinforcing my point that he has insane PR" when you specifically implied he is not great nor good by stating arguments that he is are false

don't backpedal on the rest of the conversation

prx china flag commenting about other peoples flag is crazy

netero S
doesn't ragebait, good takes generally and nice to interact with. very non-toxic person

doesnt make him great all of a sudden
comparing westside to them to justify him being good

you are making arguments citing him not being great and stuff not justifying him being good, you didn't say he was bad sure but the implication is that he is not good based off those statements. I haven't seen westside glaze on here before so I can't comment on that, but he is a good player and I think he is in a horrible situation with cloud IGLing and the rest of his team shitting the bed to the point he's their best player.

you're making excuses on their performance this split and yet you do not give the same leeway to westside while he is still dropping best stats and in-game looks the most competent. that seems more unfair to me.

Keiko aimtrains outside of Val and they still scrim and run pracs a good chunk of the day. if you're already playing a couple scrims a day and running pracs + aimlabbing then I'm not surprised he's still good aim wise and mechanically. living apart is normal they normally only use the facility for bootcamps.

I am a big stats watcher but your take is wrong
yeah he was not good in kickoff and I actually rated him very lowly afterwards, but so far in stage 1 he has been the only person I am impressed by on the team. if you want to stat watch, he has a higher rating as sentinel over purp0 and tomaszy and cloud who are all known franchised quantities and people have at least glazed purp0 and cloud a bunch before.

flor or westside

how could I forget f0rest he's my favorite CS player OAT

john cutie 😍

🗿
wait it's kfan extra 🗿

just as leafy was cringe he is the same so I am hoping not

lets freaking go

free lukxo

mentally checked out

shopify yoinked the entire brand

I am very impressed with some mexican players
a mexican national team could form eventually with seven, mephisto, pompz, navarro and whoever you think the best IGL is, it could be an interesting team to watch

I'm not disrespecting them, in fact the opposite.
I said YFP (with only -thief +add3r) convincingly beat 2g on stage and yet they're rotting in t2 while 2g is making progress in t1 and looks solid. if 2g is able to make progress in t1 while that YFP team can beat them, YFP could also make progress in t1.

there is enough talent in NA+SA to make good teams imho
they decided to do China and there was enough talent that cropped up as well. if players know they have a path to T1 they are more willing to grind and be better and it's more attractive to talent.
5 is an odd number sure but they could still make it work and honestly I feel like it'll be necessary for the health of the game going forward, ESPECIALLY for Brazil + LATAM. FURIA, LOUD, MiBR are established so that's 15 slots only for players. 2g is ascended and an option but iffy. LEV is almost fully american now and KRU is national. there is just no room for people. it's bad.

please make NA+SA separate man
we have some stinkers but this YFP team convincingly beat 2g on stage who ascended yes I know but we are seeing still put up some fight (and on stage it was -thief +add3r) and just now got stomped by TSM
there is no reason why NA + SA franchising cannot have 12 teams each, there are the orgs for it
for me in my mind it is the same as China being separated from SEA
Yes there will be some stinkers from both regions sadly but there is so much talent in both regions and they both have big separate viewerbases
I could even list a mock-up for orgs for NA and SA right now:
NA -
Stay: 100T, C9, EG, NRG, Sen, G2
New: Envy, TSM, Shopify, M80, FaZe (new roster), Any NA org that wants to join as 12th (complexity?)

SA:
Stay: Furia, KRU, Lev, LOUD, MiBR, 2G
New: E-XOLOS, FUSION, 9Z, Shinden, paiN (new roster), RED Canids (rebuild maybe)

Please man.

yeah but you couldn't compare flor to top duelist before she moved to t1 as well. most people who did make guesses did not do a good job in hindsight because it's just so hard to translate t2 performances to t1 especially if your matches are versus teams like "Burger Boyz" and "Funhavers"

it's criminal neon blowz and ghoul33 are all on an academy team that can't ascend

I meant the options to replace zander would be a choice between ion, skuba, spaz or sacred and then to replace asuna would be brawk/verno if this change happened earlier
I changed phrasing to make it more clear

bad bait

we will never know because he is playing against bums most times

ruh roh

it's just that zander has not adapted to t1 at all and asuna is an inflexible nepo baby
if they added either ion(once 18), skuba, spaz, sacred and then a good initiator flex they'll be fine (no clue who lol, would've said brawk/verno but they are both long gone)

something is top 10 and it aint the player named something

not even joking bro will be in 100T for half a decade in 6 months.
half. a. decade.
Asuna plays valorant like he's a wacky waving inflatable tube man that wished itself into a real human boy. he shakes those flimsy wrists and hopes his crosshair lands on a hitbox by the grace of god. valorant has no legitimacy if u can hit jittery long range headshots with a head full of smelling salts. fuck this game. I'm taking my talents to competitive cooking mama where it's all about the mechanics

g2: nice guys, underdog ascension story, representatives of my region
vitality: americas import, kicks loved since bonk and underrated, cyvoph fun rookie story
DRX: historic team for the region, liking that they got rookies in hyunmin and free1ng along with getting estrella out. also love mako

Valorant's anti-lag is actually quite good
maximum ping I could endure in comp is ~80
maximum ping I could endure in any casual gamemode is probably ~200
I've played on SEA servers from NA with 120-150 ping and it was still fun and playable honestly

you watch pro play, go wow this is so coordinated and interesting, looks so fun then you play any gamemode and you play with people who seem to have the brains of a stickbug and you give up.

I'm close enough to Toronto I could drive if my car could make it (it can't, I have a shitbox)

$500 ticket (for a singular day of watching val)
$300 flight
$275 a night hotel (for 2 nights, so $550) - expensive because I chose the hotel on-site for the tournament, you can get a cheaper further one
this isn't even including food or transport
it's just sad man

wolf cut if girl from what you're describing, style it before the date if possible to give volume
if man and you have a strong hairline (read what you said and I still stand by what I said):
if you have facial hair: just go for a generic white dude faded sides with a combed top
if you don't have facial hair: go for something similar to what benjyfishy has currently imho

I was considering buying them and going but it'd genuinely be cheaper to go on a 7-8 day cruise with the prices they immediately got put at after scalps sadly

save bro

over kickoff+regular season
I'm not looking at kills I'm looking at all stats and I've looked at the game. I've watched every match they've played.
molsi and avova are great assistive players and I have never said otherwise but that only goes so far when they have to start actually fragging and winning a game. molsi and avova were great in the TH game but that is a singular series out of four. I agree she underperformed that series but the other three she has played the other players did not step up to that level at all. I watched the entire Na'Vi game and batujnax was great on map one which all of them played well on and stomped on. Teams run no senti comps on lotus regularly so "only so much you can do!" is not an excuse. molsi is a great IGL and the only other player I am impressed with on the team, but I will state again that it only goes so far when they have to start actually fragging and winning a game. I wouldn't place blame on molsi at all, but the other 3 players on the team have consistently been bad besides one avova popoff game. Yes, he has a lot of assists and is a good util player but considering the level of controllers we have in all regions who have great util AND can frag considering Omen does let you get away with a lot of plays, it's not an excuse for him to play mid to bad the other 3 series. Besides that she has been stuck with governor, hype, batujnax and oderus for a game. None of those players have fragged at all with oderus doing better than 3 of them. Their coach. Even then their COACH ODERUS had a better game on Haven and a game around molsi and hype on Pearl. A coach.
Yeah sure we can talk about the TH game all we want but at the end of the day I am not expecting anyone to give praise to any of these players when we look at the whole season literally none of them have stepped up to the plate in harder maps besides flor.
I brought up kickoff initially because your point is dumb. There is nothing to praise besides a singular match. The damage was already done after kickoff and they still lost that TH series. By the way yeah I'm looking at ACS and kills in that TH series because that is her job and the rating system is notoriously biased towards K/D farmers. ACS is reflective of first kills and doing damage which is important for someone in her role. I am just stating that she still did her job besides on Icebox even if the rating does not reflect it.

her team did not do good vs TH, avova popped off and everyone still played bad or worse than her over the series if you look at ACS
also molsi and batujnax did not do good today, if we don't include map 1:
map 2+3
florescent 1.55 303acs 48-28-11 +20
molsi 0.84 172acs 24-34-23 -10
avova 0.73 162acs 22-34-12 -12
batujnax 0.68 150acs 22-33-8 -11
governor 0.62 116acs 17-31-8 -14
she was the only one doing anything. I legitimately think if I added up her teammates through kickoff and this season she'd be like +100 and they'd be on average -80
I'm talking about kickoff because she played great there and her teammates shat the bed as well. it's not just the last 2 series this has been happening. there are no double standards, it was one series this happened and otherwise including kickoff she's been the only one doing anything.

I'm saying you're focusing on a single series she didn't play fantastic in but the other 3 she's played with apeks she did great edit: and the rest of the team did shit

bad ragebait she did fantastic in kickoff too

😶‍🌫️

I was not invited 😔

it's a really well known thing in CS that even pros use in pro play sometimes, but rarely. that's why you don't see lots of people complaining as players changed it from a bug to a feature. double runboosts are insanely hard to hit and you have to have perfect spawns and movement. this is a 1/1000000 clip just as some crazy jett cypher trip bug.
