Yay’s a better competitor than I am 100%. I would’ve instantly retired after I was done with that team (no disrespect to the players) especially after what he went through with his previous Tier1 team. If yall think what he said was bad/toxic, I hope my scrims never get leaked.

I miss old esports. Where if you were good, you were on a good team. Where there was something to grind for, and if you did it successfully, you got to reap the benefits. Where winning was everything.

With the news that @NRGgg was declined for Valorant Partnership, they’ve allowed me to seek new opportunities as a restricted F/A. I am open to all partnership teams in NA. Please DM me for any inquires.

Appreciate the opportunity with @100T_Esports. Things didn’t work out, but I wish them the best going forward!. I’ll be exploring options for the next VCT Season ✌️.

Meanwhile, Gekko has a flash with 13 uses per round, which marks their EXACT location. A molly the size of Texas that 1 shots you. And a literal 6th player. 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠. EDIT: OH AND A MASSIVE SHARK THAT MOVES AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT.

The end of last year felt like the lowest point in my career. I’m thankful for the opportunities given to me, but I’m hungrier than ever to win. Looking forward to the upcoming challenges.

Why was this org allowed in Ascension in the first place? The players grind all year with a specific goal in mind just to get it ripped away right in front of them in the end, AFTER reaching their goal. So frustrating, I hope all the players find a team for next year :/.

Success doesn’t come without sacrifice and failure 👍.
I’ve lost 100+ important games in the last 7 years. Whether they were to qualify for tournaments, playoffs, or to make it deeper in those tournaments. The feeling of losing has only worsened as the personal expectations have only gotten higher.

Lots of people overreacting. At a Pro level - this barely makes a difference, everyone knows smoke timings. You’ll still ask teammates, “is this smoke fresh?” Your controller players will/should still also still tell you when the smoke is going away. Normal level/Noobs - This is.
Smoke Changes (7.08 PBE) | #VALORANT . ~ Astra, Brimstone, and Omen’s smokes will now play an audio & visual cue 1.5 seconds before they fade.

Everyone playing Valorant Ranked, before you say something to you teammate, think of the following. 1.) Will it tilt them?. 2.) Is there a better, more constructive way to say what you're about to say. I swear, if even 50% of people did this, ranked would be so much better 🙏.

So happy for the KRU guys, but that fkin sucks for @Sentinels. Being considered the best team in the game all year just to get knocked out early at the tournament that matters the most :(.

You're down 11-12, you win a 1v5 to bring it to OT. You see a tech pause, your teammate used an illegal KJ molly on the opposite bombsite 😯. They give the other team a point and you lose the game 11-13. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂.

After playing deadlock for a day, here are my opinions. ATTACK.- crouch nade thing is useless.- trips are largely useless except for postplant.- wall lineups are decent, but very limited because of throwing range. DEFENSE.- crouch nade thing is useless.- trips are actually.

Playing LAN using online servers… I’ve never seen this in my life. Our team was rubber-banding and stuttering the whole game playing on a NorCal server. First day things 🙃.

As long as there are crowds, this will forever be a thing. Ask any player ever, they’d rather have a crowd cheer against them, than have no crowd at all.
The LOCK//IN crowd is cheering when LOUD is clearing angles in order to give them info on when someone is near them :/ kind of cringe tbh

I see this so often, sadly its also at the pro level sometimes too. What's the point in peeking here after getting the first kill? Just sit there and jiggle, then run away. You go from taking a 50-50 fight, to having a 90% chance of winning the round. Shaz won the 1v3 after
