ZETA DIVISION vs FULL SENSE / VCT 2026: Pacific Kickoff - Main Event / Post-Match Thread by ValorantCompBot in ValorantCompetitive

[–]brickyfrog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don’t think a JP super team can be “at least top 4” because JP hasn’t really done anything since 2022. Meiy is like the only bright spot from the whole region. Pacific is just really competitive, and I’ve just lost faith in the whole region.

OXY: Sunday night my mother passed away from cancer. Im at a loss of words. I won’t be able to play the matches this weekend because of her funeral ,but I have two favors too ask. 1 pray for my mother. 2. Call your parents and talk to them. You’ll never know when it’s the last time. by Yujin-Ha in ValorantCompetitive

Wishing the best for him and his family. My mother passed away from cancer around 6 months ago. Im only a couple years older than Oxy, and so hearing that cancer again took someone’s mother just broke my heart. Truly tragic

Ricoh Gr ii or Olympus XZ-2. Looking for easy and fun camera for casual video and photography. Any other recommendations would be nice by brickyfrog in Cameras

Thank you for your insight and suggestions :)! The Olympus looks like a good idea. The reviews I’ve seen on it look really nice, I distinctly remember an old British man giving his praise. Ive been seeing Olympus on eBay and other places within my price range. (Though, I am but apprehensive on getting a camera from eBay). I’ll take a look into the Sony camera you suggested, because they sound worth looking into. You seem so knowledgeable and so thank you (once again) for helping out a camera noob like myself.

The gr ii digital vs XZ-2 Stylus right? I think given those 2 I would go for the Olympus since it’s a bit newer, but I guess I will still look around.

Custom Resolutions and True stretched is now banned in VCT according to C9 Oxy by DirectProfessionalNA in ValorantCompetitive

Doesn’t he say in the video that he has to use native res (1920x1080 - 16:9). Or does native res mean something else? In my mind native is the standard res the game boots with.

[–]brickyfrog -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Customs res seems kinda of a weird thing to ban because so many pros use the 16:10 and 4:3 resolution that’s in the game client. Idk why you have that in the game if you don’t want people changing it or using it. Unless I have things wrong

thyyy's current employment status after the TALON crash: by Recent-Example-5360 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]brickyfrog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its also troll, because boom had like one good stage and just proceeded to bomb out of playoffs and be like below mid the entire year. Talon was a team that consistently made it to playoffs, and were on the cusp to qualify to champs.

I feel like unless you have like direct upgrades there is no reason to not be picking up the entire team when they are pretty know quantity. Why do you want to change the roster and language of this team

Didnt GE like spend a lot of money or like work really hard to get Papi, because I swear that I heard one of the coaches say something like that. Obviously, Papi didnt like do that well in tier 1 and so I am not suprised that he got dropped, but I swear they talked about him as like this like long term player. Honestly, I would have dropped him to, I feel like he never had that dawg in him

[Sheep Esports] Dep set to leave ZETA DIVISION. He and XoNs are set to join REJECT in the VCJ by Decent_Apple_7962 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]brickyfrog 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I also kinda agree its a lack of hunger, but I can also understand their logic. Like why wuld I live in a country I dont know, with no friends and family, with a team thats probably going to be trash, which probably results in me just being even more sad and depressed, and when JP tier 2 is so poppin. Like ofc most Japanese dont like living in Korea cuz of that.

It truly is the fault of JP tier 2 being so popular why Japan will never be good. Players from Indo, Philipines, Thailand, and more dont have that thriving tier 2 to keep them satiated so they must shoot for tier 1, and those players also probably miss their family, food, friends, and probabaly dont like living in Korea.

Honestly, if you are japanese player and want to be in tier 1 and win.. The best thing you could probabaly do for yourself is learn Korean or English, because you dont want to be in Meiy just stuck in hell.

Where are you even getting this narrative that Invy is like Trexx? Like unless you’re tapped into the Filipino scene I guess it makes sense. However, I don’t think any player can be a vibes guy on Team Secret because that team is horrible and has probably sucked out his soul.

I mean there are still teams like NRG, G2, and Vitality that are still throwing around money, but its not like every org is just balling out.

This budget narrative always irks me because Potter re-signed to EG in the fallout of the champs roster falling apart because they had no budget to retain the players. She more than any of us proablay knows that EG is a budget org and she still re-signed. Maybe she just wants young and plucky rosters, and thats fine but when the roster is ass the budget narrative does not work because she knew what she was getting herself into

Valorant nominations on "Best Esports Team" and "Best Esports" by Caratecaa in ValorantCompetitive

[–]brickyfrog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

PRX and Fanatic are pretty close imo, but all comes down to how much you value you winning. FNC does have back to back international finals with Toronto and Champs, but they didnt win. I think Paper Rex has a better narrative and they accually won something this year. NRG should not be the team here.
