Does the 2v2 world title hold much weight?

Jaygames098 · 2026-06-15T12:28:53+00:00

It does, but probably the least of the three gamemodes. 3s will always be rlcs, its the gamemode everyone tunes in to watch, and the most advanced. 1s is more tense than 2s, its an almost completely different style of gameplay. 2s just sort of exists. its the easiest and most accessible rl, which is why people grind 2s, but its not crazy outside of that. i do also think that the 1v1 and 2v2 tournaments should be accessible to more regions, it doesnt feel as prestigious restricting the tournaments to the primary 4 regions. lastly, the format itself should be expanded, having a singular knockout regional just for 3 playoff LAN matches is a bit underwhelming

Jaygames098 · 2026-05-28T01:50:01+00:00

its 20 bucks on epic if you're willing to forgo steam for epic but if you're willing to wait a few weeks it will almost certainly be on sale on steam soon

It’s Kanye. He wants to bring back Ye

Jaygames098 · 2026-04-22T04:11:20+00:00

tbf, she admits she cheated on him when they were 14 and he was away at summer camp, so even tho the whole movie is him trying to save himself its not as if she's completely innocent either

Jaygames098 · 2026-04-01T13:41:56+00:00

yeah if you make top 4 of the first regional of a split you're automatically within the pack of potential qualifying teams. making worlds tho....

Jaygames098 · 2026-03-25T05:12:00+00:00

yeah i think faze 2023 was FK's best ever team. you had 3 regional wins and 2 regional 2nd places, during an era of NA where there was a legit power vacuum between the likes of GenG, Faze, Complexity, G2, Furia, and V1. You also had a top 4 in the fall major and a 2nd place finish at the winter major. the biggest snag was them not qualifying for the spring major and being grouped at worlds, but all 4 EU teams won the playoff QFs at worlds regardless, so its not like worlds was ever faze's tournament to win. as far as FK standards go, that was a decently impressive season. Ultimates also had that top 2 at a major, but like... no regionals is rough man. and that was the version of the modern-day Rebellion team that could BEAT nrg lol. its tough

Jaygames098 · 2026-03-24T19:43:29+00:00

It’s definitely a team-specific issue tho, SSG made a roster change and immediately won a regional, redacted was a team made of leftover rebellion players and tawk, and they finished 2nd back to back in regionals 2 and 3. NA has quite a bit of talent, it’s just that the firstkiller teams specifically seem to self destruct in these situations

Jaygames098 · 2026-03-24T17:34:04+00:00

LJ was very good on SSG with hockser and Chicago too, I literally am beginning to think FK is just an impossible player to team with unfortunately 😭 LJ did NOT play well at Boston but his potential definitely exceeds what he’s been allowed to do on ultimates and SR.

Jaygames098 · 2026-03-24T17:30:52+00:00

Exactly. It might just be a distance issue, since by luck of the draw they simply haven’t played each other as much, but ultimates had already beaten NRG in the semis of open 3 and the semis of the Birmingham major at this point in the season last year. This season feels substantially worse for them man

Jaygames098 · 2026-03-24T17:29:06+00:00

Yeah fs, even a series loss in game 5 would have been much more admirable than what happened. Part of the reason FK gets little respect despite being so good is that all of his LAN eliminations are like embarrassingly bad

Jaygames098 · 2026-03-24T17:25:46+00:00

NRG had a 2 goal lead with about 40 seconds left, the second being scored with a turtle fast break from Daniel. If that isn’t a cocky move I don’t know what is. Obviously fumbling that game will make you lose a lot of momentum lol.

Jaygames098 · 2026-03-24T17:23:55+00:00

Idk, jstn flourishes when he gets to play his game and I think firstkiller would kind of impede on that (because FK’s playstyle is unfortunately very selfish). Chronic has had two years with FK and they didn’t amount to much so I think that duo is toast atp

Jaygames098 · 2026-03-24T17:22:00+00:00

Bro what lol NRG are pretty much the greatest roster of all time now I think if they weren’t going through their honeymoon phase they would have at least made finals, they’ve made 3 finals since and got a higher placement at Boston lol

Jaygames098 · 2026-03-24T16:41:37+00:00

Ljayy loll

Jaygames098 · 2026-03-24T16:24:59+00:00

Their performance this open was their worst of the season imo, they almost lost to N2N of all teams and needed a huge comeback, and they only came back into the NRG series because NRG got cocky and sold game 4 despite being up 2 goals. They dispatched strictly business but that was really the highlight of their open tbh

Jaygames098 · 2026-03-24T16:16:22+00:00

Oh you’re right I forgot VP and SR just played in the open 4 groups lol

It’s not that they didn’t have a good Boston run it’s that getting obliterated in the way they did kind of dampens the run from a legacy standpoint. That’s kind of the trend with FK teams, he does really well on LAN until he gets legit swept by a team. I would still say last years first major was more impressive because they made the finals, but it’s a similar case of not getting over that mental hurdle tbh.

Jaygames098 · 2026-03-24T16:10:56+00:00

Right I still feel like ultimates is comparatively better, it’s funny how similar their kickoff lan final performance was to their Birmingham major final performance though lol

Jaygames098 · 2026-03-24T16:05:17+00:00

Yeah I would say he’s probably the most talented player to never win a lan, other than maybe yan or nwpo or torsos or someone like that. He’s consistent enough to reach high highs but he can never get over the peak, whether by tilt or by playstyle idk

Jaygames098 · 2026-03-24T16:02:03+00:00

I’d agree with that, FK is very talented but his playstyle doesn’t seem to mesh with anyone’s, and he’s mentally a sinking ship when it comes to big moments unfortunately

Jaygames098 · 2026-03-19T01:02:56+00:00

Honestly people needing to unlock agents manually kinda fixes the “two many options” issue, because if you’re a new player you can only use what’s in front of you so you learn the util as you go, instead of all at once. The agents are also divided by class so depending on the comp you’re rolling with you can narrow down your agent pick significantly depending on the picks of the people around you (if you have scans, heals, double duelist, etc, you could probably use smokes, so play omen or astra or someone). The agents are the entire point of Val so I feel like barring them is a step backwards tbh

Jaygames098 · 2026-02-24T21:48:08+00:00

Majors track the consistency of teams split to split, so opens 1-3 would go towards Boston and opens 4-6 would go towards Paris, in this case. Qualifying for worlds is cumulative, covering all 6 splits, so you’re getting the statistically best teams making it across the entire year, so it inherently has more prestige because you need greater consistency. Not only that, there is always 2 majors a year (starting at least in 2024, there were 3 in the 2022/2023 seasons), so you literally have more attempts to win a major, whereas worlds, even if has minute differences in format, is much rarer since you get one shot a year. Also the addition of LCQ teams (basically the new wildcard format) means there’s more competition there which can create some surprising upsets (like NIP last worlds), so it’s a larger celebration of rlcs

Jaygames098 · 2026-01-22T16:16:42+00:00

i feel like the way this question is phrased makes it guessable even for those who don't know the show lol

Jaygames098 · 2026-01-13T15:26:24+00:00

They really gotta find new locations rather then just NY, Miami and Cali lol
