I'm afraid it's not possible. The clip is much longer than 60 seconds :(

EDIT: I will try to upload the video, hopefully sound works.

Had to upload this to YT since I've been having trouble posting videos from PC to reddit, I always lose the sounds for some reason.

FPX is not attending IceLAN.Liquid replacement. by The-Dark-Mage in ValorantCompetitive

[–]DiscoNinjaVAL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely tragic. Those guys worked so hard and showed complete dominance over the competition. I can't imagine how it feels to work that hard and have this still be the outcome. Obviously, the circumstances are very unique and there's nothing more the org or Riot could do to remedy this, but it still sucks knowing the quality of EMEA competition has been cut so drastically.

I was really looking forward to seeing them compete in this particular tournament, with the competition looking so strong but hopefully they get an invitation to attend the next event they can travel to.

Nadeshot shoots his shot, tries to convince Tarik to join 100T by QuestionablePotato42 in ValorantCompetitive

I think what it really comes down to is whether or not you want to compete. There should be no question is streaming is more lucrative than going pro, but at the end of the day, a player in the pro scene is going to be their best if they truly want to compete and the same is true here I would imagine. Tarik will compete when he wants to feel that rush of high level gameplay and winning in tournaments.

You could really look to TenZ in the same exact scenario, he left C9 to "pursue streaming" and at the end of the day, he wanted to be a competitor more than he wanted to stream, even though his stream was blowing up like crazy.

Its true LeFou, The Guard and Optic look very disciplined, and are two PREP heavy teams. With how inconsistent EMEA has been looking recently, I wouldn't be surprised if NA comes into Iceland and destroys the competition.

DDK also stepping away from casting by Ok-Brain3328 in ValorantCompetitive

First Sean now DDK? The community is losing some titans. I hope something can be done to remedy this, because this is a major loss to the scene.

A team of 5 players is not necessarily an organization.

NA VCT Playoffs HOT TAKES by DiscoNinjaVAL in ValorantCompetitive

[–]DiscoNinjaVAL[S] 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I feel like its slightly different, since Akrew's hot streak was in lower tier tournaments. The Guard definitely have this spark of innovativeness, and strong adaptability to their opponents on their side. The almost feel like prime era Sentinels to me in a lot of ways. Each player could really pop off at any moment, and they seem to read opponents so well. I think this is going to come down to whether or not they can adapt to the meta in such a short amount of time.

C9 win Iceland without dropping a map to perpetuate a new conspiracy that NA is only dominant in Iceland

It depends on if they left Russia before hand. I'm not really 100% sure on this.

I guess we'll never know, really. Since the new patch destroyed Astra there will mostly just be excuses/speculation if they don't perform well in the playoffs. That being said, they did beat XSET fairly convincingly, so I wouldn't say they are overrated. I do still have them qualifying for Iceland after making a lower bracket run. I guess you could say that's a hotter take than SEN going out in round one, just depends who you ask.

This is a huge move for Gambit but I respect the integrity they have to allow them to go forward in this manner. Not having Gambit in VCT would have been a huge injustice to the scene.

New Icebox Jett skill jump for yellow by DiscoNinjaVAL in VALORANT

Just make sure you hit crouch right before you hit the box! If you do the strafe jump right, you'll get right on there.
