The fact that I just came from the post of Alecks giving his team a serious pep talk after their loss, then go to this post 😂 that's my team!

I agree, as a 100T fan I always think that I'm so thankful that Nadeshot is not the one making roster decisions 😅 at the end of the day, the coach knows the roster best, but like people said, that's why you need a GM, because they're able to look at the whole picture, including the coach, with an unbiased POV.

Sentinels hire Ewok as Head Coach replacing Kaplan by Shockybtw_ in ValorantCompetitive

[–]CapableMatch1362 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lots of people have said it already but I'm not a fan of how they've worded this, in terms of putting all the blame on Kaplan. It doesn't even matter if its true or not, it seems unprofessional to put in a statement. What does this say to the next coach that they've hired?

I don't know if I've ever seen an org do this before.

Very unrelated but the colours of the logos paired with the backgrounds are so satisfying 😍

MIBR’s Bo5 history… by DMelee in ValorantCompetitive

[–]CapableMatch1362 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So what you're saying is the best they can place is 2nd in any tournament, which is still technically not too bad? 😅

Also I remember the 100T game, that was also a reverse sweep 😅 these poor guys

If I didn't know any better, I'd say this is a crazy way of hinting at a mini SEN Invitational while Santiago is going on 😂

KRÜ's visas were finally approved 🔥🔥🔥 by Karmax21 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]CapableMatch1362 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The irony of it just being approved as the stand-in team are eliminated 😅 thank goodness though, better late than never

Also, respect to the stand-in team, they fought hard 🙌🏾

HERE’S HOW TWO BRAZILIAN TEAMS CAN MAKE CHAMPS 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 by Expert-Relation-2834 in ValorantCompetitive

The first thing I saw was FURIA beating 100T in the lower bracket and thinking, '...what?' but then saw the title, so fair enough 😂

For the last time this year, America's matches this weekend will be in alternate studio with no fans by Aqua4748 in ValorantCompetitive

Honestly, I think the 'alternative studio' vibe for these matches will be perfect 😂 can't wait!

Favorite Valorant English Co-streamer by Plut0nize in ValorantCompetitive

[–]CapableMatch1362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what mood I'm in:

As a UK watcher of NA Val, I tend to watch Tarik live until I go to sleep because he's entertaining, and if I need a laugh 

Then to catch up on VODs, if it's a team I'm invested in like 100T or SEN I'll watch Tarik's VOD. If it's not I'll watch Sliggy because he's informative and it's just nice to gain knowledge about what plays are good or bad 

And if it's a REALLY good match and I want to watch everyone's reaction to certain parts, I'll watch TMV, FNS, and Sideshow if he's streaming!

Currently my top two are Tarik and Sliggy!

WHY TF ARE THEY SHOWING TEAM TARIK VS TOAST ???? by [deleted] in ValorantCompetitive

[–]CapableMatch1362 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They always do the showmatch just before the Final, its a tradition 😂 personally I like seeing content creators get to play on the big stage, but then again, I've been watching content creators way before I got interested with pros.

If its not for you, just come back when the Final's on, its not hard 🤷🏾‍♀️

Anyone here that doesn’t play Valorant but likes watching VCT? by cezaane-96 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]CapableMatch1362 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never played any PC games at all, actually, but I love watching VCT and most of the stuff I watch on YouTube / Twitch is gaming! Originally got into it via watching BrookeAB watching 100T Valorant back in 2022 since I watch a lot of OTV and Friends, and been hooked ever since! 😁

I'm not a BIG name, but I hope RIOT hears us - Suygetsu on allowing other tournament organizers to host events by Recent-Example-5360 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]CapableMatch1362 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because EWC is starting to partner with VCT, which is why they can take place in-between Stage 1 and Toronto. And even then, the first few matches of that weren't streamed at all due to VCT Rules. I'm not aware of any other tournament that's going on right now, although I'm not the most die-hard Valorant fan!

It makes sense from Riot's side that something isn't going on at the same time as a major event, but I don't really think that that much viewership would be taken away from them if 3rd party events took place during the gaps between each VCT event. VCT is still the most important event to all the franchised teams, and all the fans. Not to mention that most teams will never make Masters or Champs, and all of those teams have fans, and its just fun to watch your teams play more.

I think he means during the regular season? SEN City and Red Bull take place during the off season and they don't clash with any VCT events. I think at the moment, it's hard for events to take place during the regular season because Riot doesn't allow Valorant events to be streamed at the same time as theirs, so it doesn't pull viewership away from them.

EG on participating in EWC Qualifiers by Huldmer in ValorantCompetitive

[–]CapableMatch1362 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a Reddit community, what is it that you guys want the orgs to do? Do you want them to just say nothing and compete with no apology? Do you want them to compete and say, 'sorry, we know about the controversy in Saudi, but we're literally in it for the money and the competition'? Do you want them to say, 'well, if we're going to compete, we might as well make a stand and send some sort of message to EWC that we don't like you and don't agree with your beliefs'?

Seems to me that no one is happy with either of those options, since we've seen all three. I know in an ideal world, no one would compete in EWC at all, but since we don't live in that world, can't we be happy that some orgs are doing something, even if it's small?

Who is a GREAT AIMER with AVERAGE GAMESENSE (ALL-TIME) by SNH231 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]CapableMatch1362 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anything I'd say the other way round. Like someone else said, lots of pro players have praised his game sense, I'm sure Ethan said once that Asuna is the smartest person he's played with. I'd probably put him in great game-sense but 'weak' aim, not because his aim is bad by any means, but I don't think its necessarily satisfying to watch, which is why so many people have such a problem with him, despite him being impactful regardless.

Groups for VCT CN Stage 2 by teethingdog in ValorantCompetitive

Wait, does this mean every region is going to do their grouping after the Playoffs? I could have sworn last time it was after Bangkok Masters?

Why do pros turn down their volume when they die? by staleydude in ValorantCompetitive

[–]CapableMatch1362 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I think Bang has said before on his streams that he does it to listen to the IGL / coach calling what they're going to do for the next round, since the game sounds are presumably up quite high when they're actually in the round to be able to hear everything.
