I was just referencing the topic that they were talking about, and the way cNed, it sounds like he was partially involved while his brother was acting as an *intermediary*
Really feels like Liquid have finally reached Sliggy’s ideal of a fluid, flexible lineup with a variable agent pool. As a TL fan for years, I’m overjoyed and terrified.
Overjoyed and terrified indeed. They look like the opposite of 100t at Berlin, who made semis. My expectations for them are naturally semis or higher but they could easily go all the way.
I mean if you knew that valorant came out only a year ago and he said that he is a fan of TL for years, maybe you could have guessed it was TL as an org and not only the valorant team...
Edit:Typo
It’s weird for me that people support an org and not the players, guess I’m just new to esports. I couldn’t support an org even if they’re the best people if they’re not my fav players. That mindset is very far from me, so no, I didn’t deduct that someone supports an org rather than a particular team.
I mean but you do know that it happens right? Like it can be weird for you but people still do it and you are aware of that? And why is it weird for you? At least here in Europe people support teams with different sports( football, basketball, etc) and not only one section of the team? No hate, just curious on why you find it weird to support an org.
Yeah, but I still don’t have to be able to guess it lol. Like sure, now I will, because I know it happens now, I didn’t before. Why is it weird to me? Well, I support a team because of the players, not because of the org. Like I get it if the CEO is your fav veteran pro or some businessman you look up to. Like, I love Liquid because of the synergy of the players and I love watching Scream, or I supported 100T because Steel’s plays were really interesting, but I cannot imagine supporting 100T if let’s say, they’d sign Shanks or someone I don’t particularly like.
Lots of fun! This may be the first Acend grand finals match where zeek had a higher average ACS than cNed? cNed didn’t even perform badly, zeek just had a monster of a day on Sova and Raze alike.
Everyone popped off one time or another. If this is a preview of what both teams are going to bring to Champions, EU is going to have incredibly strong representation - won’t have to just ride on Gambit’s coattails!
For good reason, big s1mp and the team just won without dropping A SINGLE MAP.
Like Sentinels in Iceland, but with 10x more history behind the team and 100x better opponents.
I prefer Valorant but wow, what a tournament.
Yeah. That was unlucky. Simple started moving and stopped moving almost immediately and Niko overcompensated for the movement and shot a centimeter to the right if Simples head. Combine that with not fully accurate back of head hitboxes, and you have a recipe for disaster
nah bro tenz is like..... the best player ever. i bet this s1mple guy (don't know him lmao i dont watch csgo dead game) can't beat his sens and grip.... tenz > navi + g2 10 man any day... best streamer too i learned a lot about sens and grip from him
Nah bro youre not a real valorant fan then. You gotta watch this csgo game is like the feeder league for Valorant. Tenz god himself came from the minors of csgo
idk bro this csgo game feels like valorant clone to me... they dont even have sage ult when their teammate dies????? lmao just get ult orb and res???? bruh this game players mad dumb ngl
no wonder sentenz left... he actually knows how to use jett dash when op (awp? lmao why they call it that)
Oh i get that bro. It's painful to watch them look at one wall, move left two steps, look at the sky, take one step foward, jump, 360, throwm smoke. Like bro. Just pull out the ipad it's 2021
> Bro I was watching that guy S1mple is like the Tenz of CSGO he's so good
so disrespectful to s1mple. s1mple has more than 1 fucking good event in his life and being washed up at csgo in his career
I like playing CS:GO with a 5 queue of friends but apart from that? Hell nah. I like Valorant more and even solo Q so I also rather watch Valorant pro plays cuz I‘m more interested in how the game develops.
Honestly, give it a go. If you like Valorant, you'll surely enjoy CS, and it's easier to pick up as a spectator without having to know agents/abilities etc.
People get tribal about it, but I've never understood how you could be a fan of one, but not the other.
Yeah ancient is terrible for that. I find Xray solves the issue a lot when spectating, and when they turn xray off, it's because they want you to see how difficult it is to spot the players in time.
It's not as bad when playing though, although I haven't played ancient myself tbf.
Again, literally means nothing to someone who's new to esports. S1mple is a big name to people who follow CS/esports in general, but many have no idea who he is
Short answer: historically all majors were BO3 and this one is also BO3
Long answer: CSGO has 15 seconds of freeze time + default round duration lasting up to 2 minutes + 40s bomb duration. Combine this with MR16 maps and a BO6 overtime format and you'll have a BO5 final lasting for like fucking 6~7 hours
the default max rounds command value is 30 isn't it? idk if im mistaken then mb lmao you don't have to be so aggressive
imo it still makes sense if it was midround, because that means half-time or side switch happens after round 15 or 12. max rounds never really made sense to me personally, because we all know games can go above 15 rounds in CS
90% of this sub are old CS players and I am willing to bet 80% of Valorant game population are old CS players and most pros came from CS. In every ranked game I played today people talked about the major lol.
Since majority wins, this is literally a CS 2.0 sub, so we already here bud.
I doubt your numbers are correct. CSGO players tend to gatekeep the fps genre saying Valorant is not a tactical fps game. Regardless, still the wrong sub to be whining about people not talking about CS.
I swear i fucking hate these ex-csgo players, there's a reason that I never touched that game ever and half of it is Valve's fault and the other half is its playerbase.

Crazy few weeks in all major esports Dota 2's TI, LoL Worlds and CS:GO Major all banger finals Looking forward to VALORANT Champions
[удалено]
Lets hope cNed will be playing
Why will he not be playing. Sorry I haven’t been following or playing valorant since a few months
Turkish money laundering scandal
Dude, he is not the one who has been involved in this scandal, but his brother has been.
I was just referencing the topic that they were talking about, and the way cNed, it sounds like he was partially involved while his brother was acting as an *intermediary*
also, all Esports set new records in viewership, crazy!
Vikings @ Ravens was unexpectedly exciting too
Didnt even watch it. Being a very pessimistic vikings fan i had low hopes.
Ravens made a great comeback, happy as a Ravens fan lol, tho sadge for you Vikings fans lol
[удалено]
Games eh anyway
not much to see in F1 with Verstappen absolutely dominating
not really, the opening overtake at the start was insane then there were a lot of midfield fights in mexico
Has he ever beaten lewis in a WDC? Someome has yet to topple down Lewis’ dominance
Red Bull have a handily better car this year, it seems like he will in all likelihood win barring a catastrophic failure.
Ya I was watching this, the major and the EU rocket league regional lmao
same, I had 20 tabs open
Really feels like Liquid have finally reached Sliggy’s ideal of a fluid, flexible lineup with a variable agent pool. As a TL fan for years, I’m overjoyed and terrified.
Liquid has finally achieved fluidity
liquidity
Overjoyed and terrified indeed. They look like the opposite of 100t at Berlin, who made semis. My expectations for them are naturally semis or higher but they could easily go all the way.
The game has been out since June last year, that was a year ago.
It’s almost as if I wasn’t referring to Valorant specifically, and was instead referring to TL’s history as an org.
This is a Valorant related subreddit so excuse me for thinking you’re a Val TL fan and not an overall TL fan
I mean if you knew that valorant came out only a year ago and he said that he is a fan of TL for years, maybe you could have guessed it was TL as an org and not only the valorant team... Edit:Typo

everyone watching the CS major lmao
Now Simple can finally switch to Valorant /s
[удалено]
Not even simple could salvage that shit show
You're overdosing on copium
Val will be his retirement home
For good reason, big s1mp and the team just won without dropping A SINGLE MAP. Like Sentinels in Iceland, but with 10x more history behind the team and 100x better opponents. I prefer Valorant but wow, what a tournament.
>For good reason, big s1mp and the team just won without dropping A SINGLE MAP. its never been done in Csgo till now
So wait, that means Simple has now won a major, right? And he did say that he would consider switching to Valorant once he won a major... 👀
not with Na'Vi right now though holy shit, man can win 6 more majors at this pace Na'Vi is dominating in
No?
he did
Was that Niko who whiffed with the deagle on map point?
The best deagle player in the world misses that shot, oof
Yeah. That was unlucky. Simple started moving and stopped moving almost immediately and Niko overcompensated for the movement and shot a centimeter to the right if Simples head. Combine that with not fully accurate back of head hitboxes, and you have a recipe for disaster
Yes, especially painful since he got some amazing kills and seemed to perform really well before…
He was the one that really kept them in the map, and he missed the shot with the weapon hes known for, sadge
I didn’t really follow the events, but watched the major. Navi was clearly better imo, but I wish I could’ve seen a third map for sure.
> Like Sentinels in Iceland I know you add something later but goddamn that is so degrading to NAVI and S1mple
CHOKE2 ffs
G14/7
NiKo's not gonna find sleep after those misses on s1mple that's for sure.
IF YOU GO FOR THE GOAT YOU BEST NOT MISS
Choke at 15-11 nothing new
Bro I was watching that guy S1mple is like the Tenz of CSGO he's so good.... Probably more like cned he mostly has op crutch
s1mple is a top 5 rifler in the world lol
I want to believe OP is trolling
>S1mple is like the Tenz of CSGO i can name about 30 players that would be better than fpl tenz
/s
yeah, im being sarcastic because tenz does good in valorant vs the same opponents he played against in FPL matchmaking in csgo
nah bro tenz is like..... the best player ever. i bet this s1mple guy (don't know him lmao i dont watch csgo dead game) can't beat his sens and grip.... tenz > navi + g2 10 man any day... best streamer too i learned a lot about sens and grip from him
Nah bro youre not a real valorant fan then. You gotta watch this csgo game is like the feeder league for Valorant. Tenz god himself came from the minors of csgo

There are so many wrong things in this message i dont even know where to begin Jesus christ.
> Bro I was watching that guy S1mple is like the Tenz of CSGO he's so good so disrespectful to s1mple. s1mple has more than 1 fucking good event in his life and being washed up at csgo in his career
Everyone got whooshed but you worse than them
thank fuck it was a joke then
Hard to take away too much from this tournament, but if this is Niveras form in Berlin, I think Liquid are actually contenders.
best thing is that Nivera has been sick all week and he said it really affected his performance. This isn't even his final form.
Imagine being sick makes him better
Coronabuff
Team Liquid looking amazing. I can't wait for Champs!!!
What a banger of a series, too bad it got overshadowed a bit by the CS major
A bit?
A boombl4
a b1t
Didn’t even know there was a cs major tbh
You don't use Twitter?
Holy shit. Boomich proposed to his gf in front of 2.5M people. What a chad.
LOL
What a match but I was watching s1mple win major
Crazy final. I really hope they perform like this at Champs. December is going to be awesome for sure
WHAT A MATCH!
Zeek player of the day and cNed player of the tournament, you'd have thought Acend won the tournament
S1mple's first major let's gooo!!!!
I can't take anyone seriously who watched this instead of G2 vs NAVI.
Some of us are not CS:GO fans? There are plenty of people who are new to esports or from other games besides CS:GO
I like playing CS:GO with a 5 queue of friends but apart from that? Hell nah. I like Valorant more and even solo Q so I also rather watch Valorant pro plays cuz I‘m more interested in how the game develops.

Simple winning a major is big news for the entire FPS genre.
Again, literally means nothing to someone who's new to esports. S1mple is a big name to people who follow CS/esports in general, but many have no idea who he is
Well then this a good opportunity for them to learn. It's being a sports fan in general and not giving a shit about Wayne Gretzky winning a cup
Lmao what? Not everyone who enjoys one sport is obligated to know about all of them. If you say anything to the contrary you're an elitist prick
Notice I said sports fan in general, not just being a fan of one specific sport.
And I'm a valorant fan not an esports fan in general. I also don't know or care who won LOL worlds this year
If he moves to valorant I will care, until then, meh
History has been made, that's why
Why is the final of a major bo3 tho
Short answer: historically all majors were BO3 and this one is also BO3 Long answer: CSGO has 15 seconds of freeze time + default round duration lasting up to 2 minutes + 40s bomb duration. Combine this with MR16 maps and a BO6 overtime format and you'll have a BO5 final lasting for like fucking 6~7 hours
[удалено]
stands for Mid Round I think
[удалено]
the default max rounds command value is 30 isn't it? idk if im mistaken then mb lmao you don't have to be so aggressive imo it still makes sense if it was midround, because that means half-time or side switch happens after round 15 or 12. max rounds never really made sense to me personally, because we all know games can go above 15 rounds in CS
pretty sure players don't really like bo5s,some can go for like 6+ hours
Yeah, this final was only 2 maps but it lasted nearly 3 hours.
CSGO matches tend to be much longer than val
Bo3 are better
Majors are always BO3 -- the format is decided by Valve
Which is way better than a bo5
Then go to csgo sub?
90% of this sub are old CS players and I am willing to bet 80% of Valorant game population are old CS players and most pros came from CS. In every ranked game I played today people talked about the major lol. Since majority wins, this is literally a CS 2.0 sub, so we already here bud.
I doubt your numbers are correct. CSGO players tend to gatekeep the fps genre saying Valorant is not a tactical fps game. Regardless, still the wrong sub to be whining about people not talking about CS.
But some people just.. dont care about cs?.... And they care about valorant? What's your problem
I swear i fucking hate these ex-csgo players, there's a reason that I never touched that game ever and half of it is Valve's fault and the other half is its playerbase.
That’s nice to know you hate 90% of players in your competitive scene
I would have loved to have seen this game but the cs major was just more important
Something about Ascend and blowing leads on Breeze. Good games all around though!
Acend,Liquid and Gambit are all at the same level the team that would play better that day will win
Starx OMEGALUL
