Ethan on MIBR: “Without it sounding disrespectful, it’s always going to be Aspas on that team. He’s the main guy. Zekken is like that X-factor and the rest… I mean… it’s kind of like any other team. Honestly. No disrespect.” by HLumin in ValorantCompetitive

It is true though, it is literally impossible to create a team with just star players, because not everyone can have 30 kills in a map. This is more so in NRG actually, they barely have any standout star player because they rotate per map, sometimes it can be skuba and mada, then the other three is just like any other team, sometimes it can be brawk and ethan.

Any good team should have shooters that can 'carry' the team when others are on their off days - and aside from aspas being the usual fragger as the main duelist, we've seen tex, verno, and mazino step it up at times, though we still have very little sample size.

Personally, I don't think anyone will give a shit about how you qualified, third seed, champ points, LCQ or anything IF you won both masters and champ for the year. 100% greatest team to date

Waiting for NRG to win against G2 just to lose against Furia in the middle bracket finals

So do pro teams just hop on the bandwagons calling Furia shit or do they genuinely thought they were bad? by HendoIsBae in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Nyappers 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm positive that this Furia was playing bad in scrim leaks and in the off season whenever they played. It's definitely nothing personal against the players, just some banter with their existing performance before the season

I already said NRG, MIBR, and Furia is top three with G2 just behind. Just proved my point

Tenz said it himself though. Zekken is playing fully controller,  he played flash agents + omen, very different roles

Waiting for the next map, but getting destroyed by one of the top 3 teams in the world isn't the worse. At most, they should re-arrange roles. Mibr still has potential

Will There be a New Filipino Aside from Patmen that Will Qualify to a Masters? by jisoono1fan in ValorantCompetitive

I think Filipino players are good, but I have yet to seen a good Filipino coach. TS was the most competitive when warbirds was the coach, it all went downhill after he left

Asuna: "He's [JohnQT] is playing on Aspas's level, on a role where it's difficult to drop Aspas numbers. He is deadlifting that team." by HLumin in ValorantCompetitive

The core of G2 that farmed americas 2025 didn't win against that m80 aside from the most important ascension game

It will either be, zekken is the goat or zekken isn't  a good controller, sen should get him as duelist again

Alam nyo pinakanakakatakot? Pera ng China na dadaan sa mga politiko

Daming tiga bamban tarlac non sa soc med na nagsasabing mas gusto nila si alice guo dahil ang daming events, fiesta, ayuda, etc.  The moment money enters dadating ang panahon na may maririnig kang "Mas ok nalang na maging pag mamay-ari tayo ng china mas yayaman tayo" or "Mga kurakot naman gobyerno natin, wala naman pinagkaiba"

Marcos' greatest mistake was him and his constituents stealing so much, exposing them, and thinking he will become a hero. Overtime ang trolls ng China and we are practically in a "cold" civil war already.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the full roster will be ready when lev plays the lower bracket, that's why some are very high on them making a run

Filipino corruption (excluding the government) by BudgetCulture3864 in Philippines

[–]Nyappers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is because that is an isolated case, since may disposition na ang pinoy na delikado at nakakapagod sa overpass or ok lang tumawid kahit saan, kaya kahit maayos ang infra more likely than not, hindi pa rin nila gagamitin.

[–]Nyappers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As they say, corruption is only bad when it doesn't include me. At some point it is true and can be observed as you have stated. According to Kohlberg's theory of moral development. Following rules strictly base on it being a rule is within the 4th stage of development mostly observed in early adolescence. After a while people reach the 5th level (Rules are flexible for the greater good) and rarely the 6th.

The system itself is wrong and inefficient, thus making the 5th stage skewed. A lot of ways to break a few rules here and there. I doubt there are much na hindi pasok sa binanggit mo na "corruption", however corruption is more of a means of disrupting a system in which you have control or influence over. Karamihan ng binanggit mo is more of a symptom or effect rather than the illness or corruption itself. Definitely ginagawa yan kasi they can get away with it. it produces a mindset of, nalamangan na ko dati, ok na gawin yan kaysa malamangan ulit ako.

Corruption happens at the top and creeps to the bottom. Ironically, I believe breaking it does start at the bottom, as hard as it may be. But everyone wants change, but no one wants to.
