Watch sliggy watch parties… check out his vid channel
When vlr or any similar sites become the de facto news/info source for valorant… I used spike.gg/twitter for a very long time to get val info but HLTV has almost everything within a couple mins of announcements etc
As solo duelist no
As a second with Jett or neon yes… it prolly gonna be phoenix v kayo for the last spot on teams
Apac, 2g and SA teams in particular have access to a region where players would be willing to take a massive pay cut to play for an org with no chance of promotion however they gain the exposure and marketability
In emea there’s so many players and so little teams.. this guys are looking at pure profit, and for an academy it’s promotion to their t1 roster or a sale n those ain’t guaranteed
A tonne if potential NA t2 players have an ego, while nice that chance of not playing for ascension is a no no for them…
At the end of the day no result is guaranteed, profit loss etc
Not really… I speak and write English better than my mother tongue since I’ve been learning/using it for an eternity however it’s also my countries official language(so schools offices etc)…
Comparing it to learning german, English is a breeze
The xyz
Vs
Der,die,das and those 3 also have family members that make things more complicated
Watch with a blank canvas… 0 expectations.. u will have more fun watching
Wow…idk how to reply to this other than you’re stating obvious stuff
They have enough firepower to bail them out of situations… how they perform, no1 knows
He doesn’t care… Also FIDE enforce dress codes Willy vanilli…
When they feel like it, they do it… Some tourneys they ban it and some tourneys they don’t care…
Also I’m pretty sure other players where wearing jeans at some point (Like Hans and Arjun) ( maybe misremembering stuff cuz icba to watch entire chess broadcasts, just watch Gotham for recaps)
Magnus and FIDE are also beefing about the Freestyle gland slam stuff he’s trying to put on and apparently FIDE are trying to ban players from playing in that
I’m pretty sure there was a situation involving a WGM or WIM at a FIDE event not to long ago because of shoes…. But using cheating avoidance as the term is bs cuz they are saying u can’t cheat with dress shoes
Alfajer has wanted to play other roles other than senti in the past… aka ISO on haven, raze on split and FNC aren’t against double duelist comps
If Kaajak is comfy doing something else it doesn’t matter
As long as they win
Vct wise besides pearl, abyss and bind will prolly be omen cuz even with the one ways gone, paranoia is one of the best flashes in the game so for coordinating team stuff it’s more helpful for combos
Boaster… he genuinely loves Astra… he has vods/videos where he breaks down his thoughts when using util
With analyst stuff you can be proactive ( I remember hearing this in a random yt vid on this topic but about cs)…
Look at like a t2 team u are interested in working for, review the demos of their 2 or 3 upcoming opponents… look for common and niche tendencies, properly organise the work in such a way that’s understandable…
Formally contact the coaching staff of that team(via twitter or email if they have a publicly accessible one) and share your work with them, if they like it y’all go from there
Good luck
Just under 10 mins
On yt type in Valorant (cpu name) + (gpu name) + (resolution)…
There’s tonnes of channels who exclusively make benchmark content so that will give u an idea of what to expect
In Ranked u can lock 5 duelist and win… having better comps improves ur chances but it doesn’t mean u will play optimal val to win… as long as u comfy and having fun lock both
Also their 2-3 run included a tonne of overtime games… they also threw a lot… they easily coulda made it outta groups at the bare minimum
Dual citizenship exists except ur from ghana, Singapore (only 2 I can insta remember) then ur trapped with one
smoggy slides under the radar cuz of kk’s impact
That’s not how “multiple top players works”
Used to be temi diamz (still is on some platforms)
Temi- means mine in Yoruba n one of my numerous middle names
Diamz- just shortened diamonds… I was obsessed with diamonds by Rihanna when I made the moniker… the z combo came from diamonds platnumz (Tanzanian artist)
Now I drop the diamz
Aliexpress is a marketplace; it’s one of the few ones u can find the 7500f at a good price, u just have to filter out the riff raff.. like look for sellers with a solid amount of stuff sold, read the reviews etc…
If u ain’t comfy with it get the 7600/x
r/gamingpcbuildhelp and r/buildapc
Dedicated subreddits that help with this stuff, can also ask there for advice
Yes but if ur gonna spend 700 and up might as well
With 1k am5… even less 800-900
Ryzen 5 7600 or 7600x or 7500f (from Aliexpress)
20-30 bucks for a cpu cooler
B650 mobo - gamers nexus pick something form their recommendation that fits in ur budget; they’ve tested a tonne
Rx 6750xt or 7600xt or heck even an intel gpu
32 gb CL 30 ddr5 6000mhz (mts)
1tb ssd
650w psu
If you live close to a Microcenter go there, they usually have nice deals on cpu, ram, mobo bundles etc; u will find everything u need there
Ask questions about pc build stuff on Reddit… there are mutilple easy to find subs that will recommend stuff based on ur preferences like rgb, all white build, which gpus to consider based on what u intend to do etc
Look at yt videos; u can take the specs from a vid and look into min maxing it; Scattervolt makes vids like these (his website pcbuilds.gg also has spec guides etc)
r/Gamingpcbuildhelp and r/buildapc
The only thing I beg of u is please an AM5 cpu.
Gl
Sub for off-season events only… Leo will be back for the regular season
Critical ops… it’s a tac shooter,, u can check out the game on yt from creators or a comp standpoint… I’m pretty sure the biggest tourney of the year just started.
Chess
If he plays more selfishly it would look like grumpy or temet
You can’t make everybody happy…also a lot of esports orgs aren’t running at a net positive across the board so when players make demands salary and bonus wise if you can’t keep up you have no other option but to let ‘em go…
Some players want to play with others or try something new pr move to a diff region or go back home if they were an import previously
There’s also behind the scenes stuff, personal stuff that hits closer to home
The player can also decide on a whim to not stick around
Etc
Money, friendships and personal reasons
Depends on the pro
Igls- broadcast talent, coaching
Star players- stream
Some go back to school or start random businesses
Some start esports projects or help run some , coaching etc
A lot have no backup plans
True but if we compare it to the costs of the logistics and or teams travelling to different locations around the world regularly surely their operating costs has to be significantly lower than that of an esl for example
Isn’t the facility theirs for most of the year;
I’m pretty sure they also run/ran lcs from there simultaneously
The closest was faze but after losing to c9 in Boston they sank
After what they achieved yes but before twistzz
Broky was an fpl/pug star
Karrigan was/is now hanging by a thread
Rain was did his job but he rarely pulled out the strap like did during that period
English comprehension…
Is what I’d say but icba to check my message history 2 see which bombs I’ve dropped
Accélération, virgule, petit-pont, frappe
Kylian Mbappé
Past
Current players barely attempt to flex their individual capabilities… a lot of the time from academies to senior teams players are taught to be system players and just pass and move, build triangles… rarely attempt 1v1s, takeons or any flair
Huhh?
I get that ur a Milan fan and he got the winner but giving him ur wife is crazy
I didn’t say only ranked… however pick rates in both ranked and pro level play a decent part in the decision making… icba to check pick rates in pro tourneys so based on my eye test:
Ancient - jett
Bind - raze
Abyss - jett, yoru, raze (at least once), neon (at least once)
Sunset - neon, raze
Haven - jett, neon
Icebox - jett, reyna, iso, neon, raze or no duelist
Lotus - neon, raze
Pearl - who knows
Split - neon, raze, jett
(Icba to include every duelist I’ve seen on every map, cgn phoenix, iso haven, etc at pro level)
Besides lotus and sunset u can argue that neon isn’t a priority pick on other maps
Considering the product they put out, money ain’t the main issue here… the main stream is bare bones, the matches sometimes have replays other times they don’t, a tonne of tech pauses… if u ain’t already interested in t2 u ain’t checking it out or sticking around long enough to find out
