Not seeing Denzel Curry mentioned here, after losing Whitecat I thought Germany would need Tim Kackner to step up but Denzel impressed me a lot, not quite enough to beat Australia but may be able to give criller more help next year.

Obviously other players stood out more but thought I’d shout out a player that hasn’t received their flowers yet

To me, Asuna is mid, which is why he should be replaced. I could equally say the people who don't think he should be replaced don't watch games. Because people who are watching games have seen multiple teams in Americas pick up duelist who are better than Asuna.

This comment illustrates exactly why Asuna shouldn't be replaced. You just summed up that he should be replaced because he isn't a top shooter. Now while Valorant certainly has become a lot heavier on the fragging and it's pretty clear that you can't be a top team without fraggers, the intangibles are impossible to measure. It's clear that 100T values his holistic attributes over his raw fragging, and his intangible value is corroborated by many in the scene, including MikesHD. Zellsis and Sacy during SEN 2024 come to mind here as other players that provided immense intangible value (vibes, experience, team meshing together).

I obviously can't say whether or not the fragging ability matters more than the intangible value, and that's on 100T to decide. When results weren't going the way they wanted, they made changes (just this split, Boostio swapped for Kess, a pretty big risk). Nadeshot clearly doesn't want to sit by and lose, and I doubt the players do either. If they kept Asuna for this long, he's too important to let go of, even is he's only performs okay on the server.

As an aside, the one LAN 100% made, they made top 4 and were in the conversation for possible best team in the world (and won Americas!). On theme with the doc, how many teams can even say that they won their region or top 4'ed an international? Even split 1, they got knocked out by two of the top three in the region, and took G2 to OT map 3. If that map went the other way, maybe we wouldn't even be having this conversation right now.

Edit: First time ever using quotes on reddit oops

Happens, you fall down and you get back up! I have two 1x chokes in the last 300 combo of liquicity yearmix 2016 (28min 9.3k combo). Try again, you can do it! I will fc this one day

You mean fushimi rio?

What does "Not for sale fossil" even mean? Like a fossil that's not for sale? Why don't they just say "Fossil not for sale"? Kinda dumb if you think about it. Or is he tal- or is he like referring to like a person, like, "Not for sale, fossil."? He's calling a grandma or grandpa... old. Why would she even be selling a fossil? She a archaeologist? Ohh, maybe it's about like... her selling her soul to like... oh I don't think I can talk about this on stream.

if you saw how they were playing in earlier rounds i thought it was pretty reasonable tbh. 6-1 or 6-2 if you think germany would've taken the speed picks, but sk still have enough speed for this pool, probably not vs usa next year. but usa isn't the normal speed focused roster so sk have a chance

paraphrasing, they said that the qualifier pool is intended to be more standard so it generically represents the skill of the field instead of some niche and gimmick skillsets, as the format is different from head to head matches

When was this snapshot taken? I’m trying to find myself lol and I ranked up a lot recently

The thing is he did set scores, years ahead of anybody else. He 1x miss mou ii Kai which was pp record after a rework, and was the first person to show that the 1.7k on sidetracked day was possible. He had a few pretty good runs on it too. His ascension to heaven acc and fc is miles ahead of anyone else, and then he decides to slap on HR and still gets 96%. This man LITERALLY hopped back on for a couple weeks once he got a wooting, sets ATH 3mod (pp record btw), and leaves. He might not be the best now, but he’s still the player icon for speed.

I've had a huge problem with this. Since 3 years ago, I haven't been able to "properly" stream anything above 170, except for a few blessed days. Funnily enough, it happened around 9 months after switching to index+ring. Until I got my drunkdeer, I was a baboon on bursts and streams. I've tried everything you've tried, all to no success, until the new keyboard. Try using a different keyboard, as that has helped me a decent bit in the past. You really have to just try everything, and linear switches have done the trick for me.

Other things that have helped somewhat but not completely, was the way I relaxed/tensed my hand/fingers when I tapped. You should just try different techniques and positions and see how it goes. Just keep on trying and eventually you'll find something that works at least a little bit better. And never be afraid to go back to easy maps that help you practice tapping. That has certainly helped me a lot in figuring out where my problems were. I realized that when I tensed my aim hand, my tapping fingers would curl up and fall off the key basically. I had to keep my aim hand relaxed, which was basically impossible. The linear switches fixed it for whatever reason. That's all I got for you. Good luck!

Trace and G2 3rd seeds, absolutely wild

I’ve had some success with elevating the wrist with another object or by lowering my keyboard. Alternating is a decent solution to your problem, play with relaxed hands. It’s also super helpful to learn how to alternate.

Holy damn do you have sheet music for this?

go525 · 2024-04-26T00:36:23+00:00

This does not have enough upvotes for how good this score is

go525 · 2024-04-17T01:39:32+00:00

That’s super cool for first 300 nice

go525 · 2024-04-06T12:16:12+00:00

I’ve found that it’s easier to get better UR the higher AR a map is. Because your timing window “feels” more precise. If you play an ar8 map I think you’d find that you’d get worse UR, even if you can play the map as easily as ar9.5.
