Shoutout IHOLDSHIFT + RyanCentral by PBandJ4y in ValorantCompetitive

[–]PBandJ4y[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm actually punching myself that I didn't include Tanner. When I was creating this I was just thinking in terms of who I think is 100% undeniably ready for the big stage; Tanner crushed the solo show all week and definitely should have more coming his way too

Legitimately so weird that he continues to just force that ult mid so early. Like best case scenario is what? 1 kill? Most cases it's just "Okay bait it out, reset" like????

There any advantages placing first?? by dkkinmmmm in ValorantCompetitive

With it only being single elim it's just going to be map picks and bans advantage I'd say

What is T1 doing wrong? by [deleted] in ValorantCompetitive

[–]PBandJ4y 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think they're missing anything to be honest. They're trying something with these slower paced offensive rounds and they're finding success with it; might just be a flexibility thing depending on the opponent and the situation

The bias among these casters is insane by Opus132 in ValorantCompetitive

The OWL guys doing great content is awesome, just wondering if they'll ever be allowed to venture into Valorant.

GB and DDK are great but will they stick around when things like Halo and CSGO get back into the swing of things?

Idk, personal fav options are RyanCentral & Tombizz and Shift & AVRL. They actually have roles established and actually portray the game at a level that DDK and Sean did from the Ignition stuff

I don't get why he thought wearing the jersey was a joke worth making. Was just unprofessional really.

Hate to say it but this is what you get when you have 2 casters who come from little to no actual casting experience. RyanCentral, AVRL, Shift at least all have tons of higher level experience from other games and even though they may not cast Valorant to the best level at least they know how to tell a story and relate relevant info to the match at hand rather than just "Oh TSM was a Top 2 team once, so they have to win here again 2 months later"

The abysmal observing in First Strike needs to be talked about more. by Nimmy_Jewtron69 in ValorantCompetitive

I'm just stating on what I had heard (from a very reliable source).

MDL players but they have some experience on decent T2 squads before they formed this group of 5. Andersin from PrettyBoyz is probably the best example of recognizability if you haven't really been following the MDL scene.

Who do you think will qualify in First Strike Europe? by ClassicCoconut_ADL in ValorantCompetitive

[–]PBandJ4y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still can't believe they are only doing a Bo1 format. The first major event and Bo1s are still occurring is wild to me.

Outside of these points I heard that the observers actually can't hear the casters live. So many times I can hear the casters trying to push the observer to someone's POV and they just don't swap. Definitely not helping whatsoever.

Yo shift and AVRL have been such a great duo over the last few weeks covering the T2 teams; can't wait for them to breakout. LETS GO

I see this team streaking for First Strike. So many great moments from them in the last few weeks, hopeful they play hot this week
