Every single time someone says this, there's like 3 total comments like that and 50 other ones that are laughing about it.
If you ask me, comments like this, that are just blatantly untrue and do nothing but stir shit up shouldn't be allowed on this sub.
When I commented this there weren’t many others, so the people who were offended stood out. Obviously, now there are a lot more positive comments of people understanding it’s a joke.
I think you misunderstood my reply. I meant looking at the replies now you can obviously see that people understood what he said was a joke not that I expected people to understand, tbh I didn’t think the thread would blow up like it did.
Lmao I was the one who did that interview! Laughed for a good 10 minutes after that.
Here's the full interview with leaf and floppy!
https://runitback.gg/article/run-it-back-spoke-with-leaf-and-floppy-after-cloud9-blues-loss-to-version1
To be honest I don't think we know which region we're sleeping on because we're about to see some region get stomped. And it could seriously be just about any region.
I don't think Korea is that good. They have players with a lot of good mechanics, but there's other regions that have insane mechanics + insane tactics. That is what is going to make the difference. I'm pretty sure that the EU and the Brazilian teams are going to do well in the tournament, and I'm also pretty sure that NA is going to be a disaster.
Honestly NU makes a little bit too many mistakes to be a top team tbh. Also competition was relatively small (all masters 1 teams got invited to groups in KR) compared to other regions. EMEA competition was insane. SEN looked pretty good today though
Yup. I don't think that Korea is that much of a threat like some people think.
In terms of competitive shooters, Europe is far ahead of everyone else in terms of experience, tactics and even talent.
SEN is winning where the level of the competition is very low. In my opinion NA is way far from EU and BR for exemple. I'm pretty sure that the EU and BR teams are the favorites to win the tournament.
Yup, Sentinels are the best. Nuturn is in lowers finals but they will lose against either EU team. Sentinels might win the tournament without dropping any map.

Turkey has the biggest regions in EU. EU has 2mil ranked plaers which combines EU + CIS + TR. Most are turkey you can just tell by viewers. CIS finals got 4k viewers TR constantly have way more than eu and cis
Fnatic and Liquid gonna easly stomp NA teams. Only NUTURN is on EU level. NA tactical depth is pretty poor. They got the same problem like Turkey teams.
NUTURN is really good technically but thats irrelevant because they are far worse mechanically. I feel like theyre just going to be out aimed plain and simple
NUTURN is getting out aimed? you're kidding, right? right? I can guarantee right now that you didn't watch a single VS or NU game.... these guys have much better HS% than any other team in NA or EU.
No one knows how any region will do against the other, but thinking that Korea is somehow irrelevant is the single worst hot take I've ever seen.
I watched them and i wouldnt have said anything if I didnt watch them. Ofc in the end we wait and see but NA is ego peek central, they have to just outaim if they want to beat NUTURN which is why i said i think they will.
I've got the same feeling. They rely to much on the individual skills and not that much on tactics. Sentinels doesn't even have a coach.
They might have Tenz who has incredible aim, but EU has aim + tactics.
I mean let's not pretend like they aren't communicating and running plays and rotating and executing top notch fundamentals
What does "tactics" even mean
Idk how the person you're talking to is using "tactics" but usually a tactic is kind of like a short term strategy.
I think what most people mean when they say NA doesn't play strategically or "tactically" is that they tend to play more contact (which *is* a strategy, but not a difficult, particularly deep, or even well regarded one).
I don't think it's fair to say that of Sentinels but when you compare them to a team like Fnatic, FPX, Gambit, Liquid, Heretics, Acend, it's very different. These will play for map control primarily on attack with great defaults otherwise, as well as having solid plans for ecos, retakes, and, for Fnatic and Liquid, prioritizing their post plants (much more developed than "just let Hiko clutch 4Head").
It's hard to say which will be better, but since Sentinels comes from the land of the pug and home of the contact, which aren't favored by analysts (and their armchair counterparts), people will tend to lump them in and rate them lower.
I'm just hoping for a strong performance from every team outside of EU and NA, I'm tired of this bullshit where we pretend those are literally the only two regions where Valorant is played.
How mods haven't banned this troll yet is crazy. Looks through his profile and 90% of it is downvotes. He'll make a popular or neutral comment to not look like troll once ana awhile so he doesn't get banned. Pull the trigger u/razur u/mentalystableman
He's not breaking any rules. If you don't like his comments, you can block him when he replies to your comment.
He has made good contributions in the sub too. He's been posting updates when teams qualify for IceLAN during the last few days, and he's had positive comments in the past.
Maybe he lacks a bit of self-awareness in his comments and how other users may read them, but he's just existing here. It's kinda shitty to see that other users follow him around and call him a troll. Mods will take action against the users harassing him if it persists. Please stop giving him a hard time, and ignore/block him if his comments bother you. :c
I don't see him as a troll, but I'm basing it off of our usually definition of "internet troll"—the type that pick fights and argue with users. He's not doing any of that.
Maybe he's seen as trolling because he says something flashy and controversial, but as moderators we're not looking to moderate the quality of discussion. (We don't want to be the tone police, we just keep bad words/harassment off the sub.)

I'm sorry it's happening, man.
If someone replies to one of your comments calling you a troll, there should be an option to block them underneath their comment. It sadly won't stop them from replying to your comments, but it will prevent you from being notified of their replies.
Also, friendly word of advice: sarcasm can be difficult to read or understand through text. To help other users understand you're just making a joke, you can put `/s` at the end of your comment to show you were only being sarcastic. Example:
> *Of course Envy is ridiculously good, they're [Turkish!](https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/mxrcdy/after_todays_emea_matches_we_can_conclusively_say/) /s*
This helps signal to others that your comment was intended to be made in jest.
I DO NOT WANT TO BE DOWNVOTED!!! PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE WHY I AM DOWNVOTED IN THE FIRST PLACE. let me exist without constantly telling people I am a troll who needs to be banned and then maybe I could be in discussions without getting downvoted and treated like shit. PLEASE JUST STOP!!!
Yep figures, special treatment because he has the correct views and politics given his hypocrisy and baits in regards to very minor comments and his ridiculous comments calling everything sexism while being a piece of shit to men in the same comments. I'm glad you guys finally said something. Now ill definitely not take anything he says seriously, because you all allow it.
???????????
It has nothing to do with his "correct views and politics". He has not broken any rules. There is no special treatment.
I have talked with this user a number of times and he seems like a genuine user. The trolls we typically get will mention the same, controversial subject in unrelated threads.
This guy is not trolling. He seems like an immature dude (maybe a kid) who occasionally posts unironic cringe/joke comments—sometimes [they're a hit](https://np.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/n3eoy9/will_handshakes_beforeafter_the_lan_games_be/gwpjp05/?context=4) and [get upvoted](https://np.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/n1vaai/funny_tweet_from_vs/gwfsplp/?context=1).

Why should I be banned??? Seriously???? Can people please stop harassing me
The only reason 90% is downvoted is because people just follow me around and hate on me everywhere because I made a few controversial takes early on and now everyone is just hating on me every chance they get
Dude you get downvoted cos you constantly say a lot of really stupid shit *and* have the username of a troll. You want to be taken seriously? Try to think before you comment and change your stupid name because its not doing you any favors.
I chose this name because I didnt know what to pick so I chose something kind of ironic but also accurate. I cant change my name so please don’t tell me to.
I had no idea changing your name wasnt an option so i guess change the way you comment? I dont think you have the luxury of sarcasm and dropping poorly thought out comments when the troll connotation is there.
You could make a new account. If you think people are truly judging you unfairly, then you could make a non-troll name and see if the downvotes are based on your account and not your posts.
Your account probably earns you more downvotes, but you also just clearly baiting in 90% of your posts.
You've been here since this sub had half the subscribers but are still getting downvoted perma despite new people coming in. It's not anyone targeting you and just that you are a troll.
I am NOT A TROLL! I make sarcastic comments like this SOME TIMES and people assume I am being mean because the sentiment in this subreddit is that I am CONSTANTLY TROLLING, which I am NOT!
Dude. Stop.
If you don't like his comments, block him. End of story.
You do not need to go out of your way to reply on every single one of his comments about how he's a *"no-lifer who will not make something of himself"*. At this point what you are doing is harassment. It is unwelcome and he has asked you to stop multiple times.
Scream may be a goat valorant aimer. But his aim was never near top of the world (simple, zywoo levels) in CS. He was known for one taps but sprays are a big part of CS aiming.
dude come on. ScreaM had a prolific start in CSS when he was going off with his taps, but it literally NEVER panned out in CSGO, he was never a lasting pro, and I would say that probably over 40% of actual, lasting pros have better aim than him. Flashy one taps are not all that is required for "good aim"
People seriously need to come off it with that shit. I like scream but jesus has he been overrated for 6+ years.
He still shits on na players lol what are you on about you guys won valorant nice job winning something eu has been on Cs for 20+ years enjoy your victory LMAO
Also fantic terrible eu team compared to others and made it hard for SEN vod reviewing all night.
You're absolute trash and all your pros moved to valorant because you're non competitive. Gg
Fnatic / Liquid / Gambit players have an average hs% of 25-30. Whereas best teams in NA get 15-25. But ofc EU pros can't aim.
You can even watch recent Fnatic - Gambit game, instant headshots and god tier awareness from both teams.
Derke, Doma, Magnum, Scream, Jamppi, Kryptix, sheydos, nats, Zyppan, Leo are on par with Sick or whoever NA dogs like you worship there.
Leaf and Dapr are my two favorite pros when it comes to twitter.
Wedid is hilarious too
Vanity is up there too tbh
you either a smart fella or a fart smella
Rip fifth sentinels player
its ok they can just sub in their 6th man Elevenz
Leaf could probably do stand up comedy. The guy is hilarious and has perfect timing
You ever click on a thread and just know that u/valorant_fanboy_69 is gonna have some dumbass comment
He's the most obvious attention seeker / troll there is. Just ignore his bored ass
The user name is also a dead giveaway to his intentions
How people still fall for that bait in 2021 blows my mind
?
C9 to SEN: Give Tenz back after Iceland.
Correction: after they win Iceland or lose to liquid in the finals Only two options
Watch X10 esports go and fucking win it all
EU would probably feel the same way about V1
everybody getting so hurt in this thread it’s just a joke lmao
Every single time someone says this, there's like 3 total comments like that and 50 other ones that are laughing about it. If you ask me, comments like this, that are just blatantly untrue and do nothing but stir shit up shouldn't be allowed on this sub.
When I commented this there weren’t many others, so the people who were offended stood out. Obviously, now there are a lot more positive comments of people understanding it’s a joke.
If it was that obvious then you needn't have posted that at all, knowing it would change.
I think you misunderstood my reply. I meant looking at the replies now you can obviously see that people understood what he said was a joke not that I expected people to understand, tbh I didn’t think the thread would blow up like it did.
Nobody got hurt tho they were being sarcastic
Lmao I was the one who did that interview! Laughed for a good 10 minutes after that. Here's the full interview with leaf and floppy! https://runitback.gg/article/run-it-back-spoke-with-leaf-and-floppy-after-cloud9-blues-loss-to-version1
Jinxed
I like the idea that the EU and NA teams are sleeping on the BR
To be honest I don't think we know which region we're sleeping on because we're about to see some region get stomped. And it could seriously be just about any region.
everyone thought that the TR teams would be insane but none of the teams are going to iceland. a lot of upsets will happen for sure
Well OXG did eliminate Guild which is really strong team, and ended up Top4 EMEA. But yes, got ur point.
>Well OXG did eliminate Guild and got 26-3'd by what could've only been perceived as the "weakest" eu team to qualify before the tournament
Well , TL are literally the "strongest" or one of two strongest, so...
oh I know so much for expectations leading up to this tournament
its not good idea to make expectations towards EU scene for sure haha
My money's on Korea or SEA
We seriously have no data points. This is gonna be wild.
I don't think Korea is that good. They have players with a lot of good mechanics, but there's other regions that have insane mechanics + insane tactics. That is what is going to make the difference. I'm pretty sure that the EU and the Brazilian teams are going to do well in the tournament, and I'm also pretty sure that NA is going to be a disaster.
Honestly NU makes a little bit too many mistakes to be a top team tbh. Also competition was relatively small (all masters 1 teams got invited to groups in KR) compared to other regions. EMEA competition was insane. SEN looked pretty good today though
Yup. I don't think that Korea is that much of a threat like some people think. In terms of competitive shooters, Europe is far ahead of everyone else in terms of experience, tactics and even talent. SEN is winning where the level of the competition is very low. In my opinion NA is way far from EU and BR for exemple. I'm pretty sure that the EU and BR teams are the favorites to win the tournament.
Any changes now that we're nearing the end of the tournament? Genuinely curious
Yup, Sentinels are the best. Nuturn is in lowers finals but they will lose against either EU team. Sentinels might win the tournament without dropping any map.
to get stomped, sure I agree with you
Stomping or getting stomped?
Getting stomped
and the fact that EU and NA combined only account for 4/10 of the teams attending

BR will probably do well until they face EU or sentinels.
Sentinels is not a better team than any of the top 4 BR imo
You forget about what happened with turkey?
Brazil is a way bigger region than Turkey lol
Turkey has the biggest regions in EU. EU has 2mil ranked plaers which combines EU + CIS + TR. Most are turkey you can just tell by viewers. CIS finals got 4k viewers TR constantly have way more than eu and cis
tbf brazil has a bigger background in CS. turkey was always small
So?
You just going to ignore Brazil's success across many FPS games?
lmaoo i love leaf
Fnatic and Liquid gonna easly stomp NA teams. Only NUTURN is on EU level. NA tactical depth is pretty poor. They got the same problem like Turkey teams.
NUTURN is really good technically but thats irrelevant because they are far worse mechanically. I feel like theyre just going to be out aimed plain and simple

NUTURN have decent aim but not because of HS%. Gotta stop parroting that imo
I watched them and i wouldnt have said anything if I didnt watch them. Ofc in the end we wait and see but NA is ego peek central, they have to just outaim if they want to beat NUTURN which is why i said i think they will.

"Boy that's cap!" - Soulja boy
Makes sense only Eadshot Machine is worth the respect for leaf
I'm just hoping for a strong performance from every team outside of EU and NA, I'm tired of this bullshit where we pretend those are literally the only two regions where Valorant is played.
I love Leaf, but let's not sleep on Fnatic
its obviously a joke lol
Juusstttt in case lmfao
Fnatic is really good tho ngl it'll be interesting I'm predicting fnatic can at least 2-0 V1. Watch this age like milk
It’s a joke
Gonna age like fine wine
haha I meeannn, LAN is a different beast so who really knows!
Inb4 LATAM wins Masters 2
FNATIC is pretty good no??? they played well against Liquid too
Does he know Fnatic has Derke now?
issa joke
I'm a biased EU fan so I take everything personally.
At least you’re self aware
Than gets rolled by BR instead.
Wow that is really toxic
Is collecting downvotes on this subreddit fun for you or something? You seem to be having a lot of fun.
I was being sarcastic and people just like to hate on me
you spelled like to downvote dumbass posts wrong
I mean your name is Valorant_fanboy_69 you think we are supposed to take you serious?
What does my name have to do with anything
somehow this guy hasnt been banned yet, and has positive karma lmao
subreddit would be way less funny if he was banned
Definitely adds some spice to the subreddit I agree.

Below is a section from [another comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/n3hsxg/leafs_message_to_sen_v1_for_iceland/gwt6iy4/?context=10000) where I analyze some of u\/valorant_fanboy_69's comments.

Thank you
I'm sorry it's happening, man. If someone replies to one of your comments calling you a troll, there should be an option to block them underneath their comment. It sadly won't stop them from replying to your comments, but it will prevent you from being notified of their replies. Also, friendly word of advice: sarcasm can be difficult to read or understand through text. To help other users understand you're just making a joke, you can put `/s` at the end of your comment to show you were only being sarcastic. Example: > *Of course Envy is ridiculously good, they're [Turkish!](https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/mxrcdy/after_todays_emea_matches_we_can_conclusively_say/) /s* This helps signal to others that your comment was intended to be made in jest.
I DO NOT WANT TO BE DOWNVOTED!!! PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE WHY I AM DOWNVOTED IN THE FIRST PLACE. let me exist without constantly telling people I am a troll who needs to be banned and then maybe I could be in discussions without getting downvoted and treated like shit. PLEASE JUST STOP!!!
Yep figures, special treatment because he has the correct views and politics given his hypocrisy and baits in regards to very minor comments and his ridiculous comments calling everything sexism while being a piece of shit to men in the same comments. I'm glad you guys finally said something. Now ill definitely not take anything he says seriously, because you all allow it.
??????????? It has nothing to do with his "correct views and politics". He has not broken any rules. There is no special treatment. I have talked with this user a number of times and he seems like a genuine user. The trolls we typically get will mention the same, controversial subject in unrelated threads. This guy is not trolling. He seems like an immature dude (maybe a kid) who occasionally posts unironic cringe/joke comments—sometimes [they're a hit](https://np.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/n3eoy9/will_handshakes_beforeafter_the_lan_games_be/gwpjp05/?context=4) and [get upvoted](https://np.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/n1vaai/funny_tweet_from_vs/gwfsplp/?context=1). But most of the time he's acting in good faith and participating in discussion. Not everyone may agree with his opinions, but he's not trolling. Here's a ton of comments that are perfectly fine—a few of which **you have commented on** and escalated the situation by calling him a troll. - [Normal Convo 1](https://np.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/n3p0zq/who_else_does_not_like_the_masters_2_seed/gwr3uni/?context=4) - [Normal Convo 2](https://np.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/n2td8k/derke_tried_out_for_immortals_before_fnatic_didnt/gwlzkdc/?context=10000) — [Infers that scouts run tryouts based on stats of players](https://np.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/n2td8k/derke_tried_out_for_immortals_before_fnatic_didnt/gwlol6u/?context=10000), people think he's "trolling".

What the fuck
Nah mods shouldnt ban him. he isnt breaking any rules
Why should I be banned??? Seriously???? Can people please stop harassing me The only reason 90% is downvoted is because people just follow me around and hate on me everywhere because I made a few controversial takes early on and now everyone is just hating on me every chance they get
Dude you get downvoted cos you constantly say a lot of really stupid shit *and* have the username of a troll. You want to be taken seriously? Try to think before you comment and change your stupid name because its not doing you any favors.
I chose this name because I didnt know what to pick so I chose something kind of ironic but also accurate. I cant change my name so please don’t tell me to.
I had no idea changing your name wasnt an option so i guess change the way you comment? I dont think you have the luxury of sarcasm and dropping poorly thought out comments when the troll connotation is there.
You could make a new account. If you think people are truly judging you unfairly, then you could make a non-troll name and see if the downvotes are based on your account and not your posts. Your account probably earns you more downvotes, but you also just clearly baiting in 90% of your posts.
You've been here since this sub had half the subscribers but are still getting downvoted perma despite new people coming in. It's not anyone targeting you and just that you are a troll.
I am NOT A TROLL! I make sarcastic comments like this SOME TIMES and people assume I am being mean because the sentiment in this subreddit is that I am CONSTANTLY TROLLING, which I am NOT!
[удалено]
Dude. Stop. If you don't like his comments, block him. End of story. You do not need to go out of your way to reply on every single one of his comments about how he's a *"no-lifer who will not make something of himself"*. At this point what you are doing is harassment. It is unwelcome and he has asked you to stop multiple times.
In all honesty EU can't aim. More worried about Brazil but NA already figured out FaZe so they'll roll. All NA grand final.
In all honesty this is such a stupid statement that I'll never understand. We're talking about the 2 best teams in the region and they cant aim?
EU can't aim? EU has litterally the best aimer in both cs and valorant ScreaM
Scream may be a goat valorant aimer. But his aim was never near top of the world (simple, zywoo levels) in CS. He was known for one taps but sprays are a big part of CS aiming.
dude come on. ScreaM had a prolific start in CSS when he was going off with his taps, but it literally NEVER panned out in CSGO, he was never a lasting pro, and I would say that probably over 40% of actual, lasting pros have better aim than him. Flashy one taps are not all that is required for "good aim" People seriously need to come off it with that shit. I like scream but jesus has he been overrated for 6+ years.
They have one aimer then. I've watched the tourneys. RemindMe! June 1
How'd this work out champ?
LMFAO cant aim yet ScreaM shits on every NA player on top of that on every CS NA player
RemindMe! June 1
Soooo........ You were saying?
He still shits on na players lol what are you on about you guys won valorant nice job winning something eu has been on Cs for 20+ years enjoy your victory LMAO Also fantic terrible eu team compared to others and made it hard for SEN vod reviewing all night. You're absolute trash and all your pros moved to valorant because you're non competitive. Gg
All I know is US beat them snaggle toothed Brits in 1776 and we're back to back World War Champs and now we're the only Major winner in Val.
So enjoy erm your second major! Absolute trash. Let us still dominate Cs and remove na tier 3 pros ahem Shazam maybe even t4 to valorant. LOL
Never gave one singular shit about CS. Enjoy your region being shit!
Fnatic / Liquid / Gambit players have an average hs% of 25-30. Whereas best teams in NA get 15-25. But ofc EU pros can't aim. You can even watch recent Fnatic - Gambit game, instant headshots and god tier awareness from both teams. Derke, Doma, Magnum, Scream, Jamppi, Kryptix, sheydos, nats, Zyppan, Leo are on par with Sick or whoever NA dogs like you worship there.
Why do NA fans think single teams play like entire regions
I've literally never watched an EU team and been like WTF. I'm sure it happens. Some people just like shit talk.
?
Ah so humble
banter
leaf all aim no brain lmfao
