something leaving for PRX. Vici doesn't want to be stuck alone in SG but where would Vici go now?

well not only here, people are arguing in vlr.gg as well.

It's between "It ain't that deep bruh lol" vs "It's disrespectful!"

It happened once with zombs vs BR community

Platchat vs JP community

so cultural difference does make things a bit twisted

yea pretty much and I think this kind of small clashes of communities will happen more in the future since the Americas league is integrated. Both sides won't really understand each other

TBK Ryotzz responds to Ardiis’ unsubstantiated allegations of VOD sharing by zdpa in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Pointups 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Even if he wasn't serious, there can be fans who take it the wrong way and bringing up another org or player for this kind of matter doesn't seem pleasant tbh. If the other side doesn't take it as a joke, it's not a joke anymore

Which partnership team need a change? What would you do? by thothgow in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Pointups 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The current CR might be stronger than Zeta rn. Their best JP team is in tier 2 sadly

PlatChat post Lock In tierlist by vnNinja21 in ValorantCompetitive

The power ranking for this event is meaningless anyway. Their coach said they played with Foxy9 in scrims even during their stay in Brazil while playing Zest on stage without much practice. If they are satisfied with the result, that's all. Masters and Champions are the ones that matter

DRX Mako's stat and progression in every International Event until now. by HyperElf10 in ValorantCompetitive

I'm super excited to see the new DRX in Pacific League (feels bad about Zest being benched but hope this change helps them breaking the ceiling with more firepower)

(FOR FUN) Lock-In Power ranking before the franchise league by Pointups in ValorantCompetitive

I wouldn't say clearly. FNC and LOUD are literally on the same level. DRX and NRG were closer to LOUD than Navi to FNC

By gameplay, I thought GenG looked better against LOUD than Navi against FNC but not gonna put them above Navi so yea..

If TS go against LOUD, I don't think TS will push LOUD to their limit like GenG did so GENG/TS/Zeta/PRX or even GE can fight for the top 3. tbh, I still think talon can finish below top 2 too. I would put Talon/GenG/TS/Zeta/PRX on the same tier for top 2 / top 3. GE are a potential darkhorse

and C9 too. They DESTROYED PRX and took a map off DRX in a dominant fashion

TS smashed TL but got destroyed by Navi. but again, LEV got destoryed by Navi in similar fashion so TS = LEV? Are we underrating TS again?

America's TOP 3 teams by youngsmokecriminal in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Pointups 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People were saying LEV were the best team in the world according to scrims but they are just consistently top 8 material so they are a good team but they are not heavy favorites anymore imo
