Yeah
Bad tourney, none of seoul were playing top lol
??? doesnt matter if its a bad tourney or not
still cant excuse
a mechanical difference
your team preforming well or not doesn't really affect a tracer 1v1
it's just can you outplay the enemy tracer
and profit did not outplay venom
who is not even close to top 5
and pelican is better on echo sombra pharah hanzo mei
Profit is top 3 fdps, has been since season 1.
Nah you are on something pelican proper kevster all are better
he hasn't been lmao
profit top 3 fdps
in season 4???
mf seoul did not make a single tournament or playoffs
Pelican exsists and is better
that year
profit tracer is overrated lmao
he's mechanically b tier on that character
it's just smurf is insane at coordinating
so he gets value
LMAO
alphayi and zest both clear profit as well
Profile isn't even top 3 in apac
he is
lol
i dont count leave as fdps because he was in HS jail for his team
fleta is not > profit
alphayi zest both better than fraudpit
Fleta on his peak is better
he's nowhere near his peak
he is B tier at best
in current meta
Also Shanghai does not have a better supportline than Seoul
because Vindaim is > LJG
Profit is the goat. He stays top 3, disagree = braindead + lip believer
he's not top 3
lip carries shanghai to tournaments
Bro you are just bias
he is just a casual
that listens to ignorant people
Ah makes sense
yaki gaps profit
See as someone who watches OWL I know that profit isn't top 3
yes he would
heesang sucks sadly
Profit is on the decline imho
heesang clears
topdragon clears
jimmy clears
viper clears
go cope harder you flora fan
flora is nowhere near S tier bozo
he got gapped by kilo
he was lucky
on dorado
kilo won 2 widow duels in a row
while flora was midair
and both were flicks
luck
ok
he can hit the jackpot twice
If ur logic for a player being better is 2 duels
It is not very good logic
With that being said kilo clears
my logic
is that a
s++++++++++++ player
should not lose widow duels to an A tier player
do u believe that profit is a top 3 fdps
He is not
Sadly
#uhatetoseeit
I agree
But I also think
He is better than fleta
fleta is ass
I disagree
In fact
He is probably having his best season
Since s2
i want to put them higher but i need at least a little bit of actual evidence to do so
the evidence
shanghai at least took some matches in the tourney
is if yveltal has manga
shanghai won 3-0 back to back
then had one really bad match against shock
seoul immediately lost 3-0 to spark
a worse team than shock
seoul are lucky i kept them above the tier break
after what spark did to them
it was a fluke
i think seoul atlanta seoul and shanghai are relatively interchangeable
atlanta beat both of them but atlanta is also the worst of the 3 in regular season
but i think the mfs who overfactor tourney placements into their tier lists
are not intelligent
looking at atlanta regular season they do not deserve top 3
can i really put atlanta top 4 after what happened with london
yes
they clearly bounced back
they lose to teams in the tier break below them a bit often for me to have faith in them
who is better rn outlaws or fuel
playoffs profit ? outdated Playoffs atlanta activated
also side take the top 2 dooms are western imo, Danteh/Reiner top 2 coluge/muze 3rd or 4th
tho I don't really know how to gauge the dooms
also marve1
i'd go with outlaws after what fuel just pulled
but with all the rumors + jq comp i am considering outlaws down
atp ranked dallas higher and I'm like "Bro what"
Imma wait till the end of qualifiers
spark better
i still think philly is #4 in apac
bro how
shanghais 3-0s against toronto and dallas were decisive
toronto just threw
the game against shock was tragic
dallas yeah
and atlanta was on a hot streak while shanghai were boomed
shanghai had what they did in 2021 playoffs happen to them
true
toronto should have gone 2-0 against shanghai but they couldn't clutch
atlanta so good
seoul were tragic in this tourney but i still refuse to put philly above them
and spark brought glads to 3-2
I think it's Spark/Philly/Dragons/Dynasty
which is something that has only been done by shock and KC dallas
honestly chengdu might be better then dragons and dynasty
one okay tourney run isn't putting philly above the rest of apac for me
philly still has sucked major ass
in regular season
eh tho you have to admit if just modern performance philly is atleast top 2
?
shanghai was so mid
cant believe
i believe on any other day philly goes home early and seoul/shanghai make it much further
shanghai and dallas just bruh
i have no faith in philly
i am not even putting them in the same tier break as seoul and shanghai
average philly fan
and average philly hater
I think philly is getting overhated cause a few bad games before
i am not going to bury shanghai and seoul just because they had 2 bad tourney games each
if philly do well this regular stage
i will put them above shanghai seoul
praying philly never get 1st 🙏
I hope Philly gets 1st this tournament
Ngl, I hope Spark get first this tourney
Shanghai is dogshit
Seoul is not
No.
one of these teams went 2-2
one of these teams went 0-2
Seoul had an extremely better qualifier
And a really close match against 3rd place finish
Shanghai did not have a close match against 3rd place finish
Seoul just really had communication and compositional issues
Which is easily fixable
ESPECIALLY over a month break
While Shanghai just sorta struggle
Also Shanghai's 2 wins we're against fucking Defiant and the shitty ass Dallas Fuel
cope
Almost could’ve lost to defiant too
not shit good map
worst map in the pool
in return we got the second best escort map added to the pool
junkertown
and MN3rd best hitscan in the league
Seoul sucks ass
as jazzy would say
"transitive property sad"
Seoul didn’t win a single tournament game 
Wasn’t it 3-0???
Lol the people who say Seoul are good spend time on Reddit too much
Toronto could’ve won 3-0 too if they had comms the first 2 maps
Fr
Seoul sucks
Overrated team with washed players
wrong but
the level at which people simp for him when he’s A tier
is so dumb
#stopsimpingforAtierdpsplayers
okay i will say this one time only
profit is ass compared to the hype that his simpers give him
Correct
he is not an ass player
as most OWL players are not
especially being that he has found some success in OWL
but he is ass compared to the hype that his supporters blindly give him
Disagree, he didnt perform the best in MM
?
But during the KC he was one of if not the best player in the league
mn3rd worst hitscan in apac
false
who else is worse in apac
ezhan and ?
innovation ?
my bad mn3 4th worst apac hs
nvm 5th bc carpe forgot about that husk
Lip Fits and maybe Shy
is all
MN3 has become much more consistent
and has carried dead weight supports
nah zest and belos did so much more
mn3 was not even a top 5 player in the lobby most of the time he was playing
MN3 has more consistency and reliability
surely
Next year shock dps line
Proper, heesang, viper
Literally the best in the league imo
And they can get max and junbin which would prob be a tank upgrade
If they dont win this season, they damn might win next
Junbin not next year mb
year after
But max tho
They can use o2 blast like academy teams should be used
to scout talent and operate as an extended bench
3 fdps 💀
Proper hitscan tho
shy is 100% better
I mean he used to be
than midn3
still viper and heesang have overlapping hero pools
and you're not going to play viper heesang
yes but it'd be foolish to release Kilo
when proper literally plays everything they play
but better
except maybe mei
heesang mei is generational
Viper could become more like a full proj
wdym full proj
and heesang could be like a striker type player
???
and move proper towards more hitscan
why would u release kilo
cash
? why would u play viper echo
other teams would prob drop bank on him
heesang already has genji pharah echo
in his hero pool
you can't even play viper next year
Its harder to keep up with league level on multiple heros, thats why ppl become less flexible over time
until like mid of july next time
With specialization, they could stay on top for years to come
viper wont be available to play for like 2 stages
so you're not going to scrim viper
but if you rely on proper being the best on every hero, that wont stay for as long
when you already have heesang
probably
I miss proper hitscan
proper didnt even play widow that much
Also his major breakthrough was during goats iirc
as well as tracer
his zarya was nutty
this sounds like
proper should be the striker
Yeah i remember
he should not be
proper is 100% more talented
nah proper not striker
than striker
yeah fs
striker was always more on tracer reaper hanzo
with ashe and widow as pocket picks
then genji when he said fuck it
but his genji was meh tbf
rewatching contendies finals from this year cause i only skimmed it
kilo very easily top 5 hs in NA unless i forget like 2 players
any talon players i shld watch out for
topdragon
he is not worse than viper
because viper has literally only shown us
the genji look
in the finals*
iirc viper just went sicko
viper genji is >= topdragon genji
ok ok ill finish watching and come back in a bit
from teh finals match
tdrag has also shown us like echo pharah mei before
viper rlly hasnt
This is literally just wrong
As a matter of fact
People have gotten more flexible over time
There is like
2
Hard hitscans in the league
Ans and kai
Even then
Kai can play Hanzo
So it’s not even like past hard hitscan
Where you strictly only play cass Ashe widow
And most of the players in the league can play tracer
And there isn’t such this as a tracer otp anymore
ms
Shy plays echo
Idk
Yeah he has
link
Last year only tho
He never would have to play tracer with alphayi
genji tracer
Alphayi duplicates himself
tracking wise its insane
but pathing
and like decision making
eh
his aim is fucking incredible tho
like maybe cleanest tracking in the league
That is shy
Yes im aware ms treeko, i am a spark fan

map 1
you see even in the thumbnail the shy tracer
Yeah but you can see his individual skill still
A bad player is going to miss shots no matter the opponent
?
a good player is going to have good aim no matter the opponent
being against bad teams doesnt make you aim better
If you’re against a bad team it’s easier to look good
it can lol
Technically it does
good aim is something wonky because
movement wise ig
Cuz bad teams = more space for u
the more space you have
the easier it is to aim
especially on hard HS
but less on tracer
Im so valo brain broken rn im sorry
even still though
i forgot how space works
Space also is in val too
if your MT creates space and the team is bad
It’s just like map control instead of space
Yeah ik more space to work means u can breath more and get better positins and aim
yeah but it affects the macro not the micro
It affects the micro as well
Debatable
Crosshair placement and reads matter more for individual duels
fundys matter more imo
Reads?
Like r u listening, r u jiggling
general gamesense, where r they holding, where r u clearing, what util has been used
etc.
That depends on how much space they have
That’s not reads that getting infos
Nonono without using util im talking like wideswinging hookah off the rip
Reads is stacking a site cuz u think they’re gonna rush
What
or reading whos on what site with what setup
to know what to clear when pushing
Not if you just read it
That’s a bad play
Why take really bad risks when you can just use util to gather info
difference between "ok ill flash out get the alarm bot boathouse and remember kayo stairs"
versus
Knife
see whose there
play contact
etc.
Getting distracted from my point
Aim is more independent of space in valorant
aim is aim
you can set urself up to do better sure
So u gather info then you hit a site
How is that a read
Not true
We dont need to have this argumnet
Cuz crosshair placement exists
lets get back to sucking shy off
So you don’t need to aim
lip clears
flora clears
Utility is more important in val than aim
correct
You can aim as good as you want it doesn’t matter if ur flashed blinded stunned and mollied
aiming in val is overrated
And revealed
just play smart
And slowed
This is why cs better!!
No it isn’t
to each there own
Im j starting to get into valo
cause someone hacked my steam acc
and i lost everything :(
So im still learning
Who’s fault is that
Prob mine but im not sure still
I lost almost a decade worth of stuff which sucks
prob over 5k euros and 4 thousands hours down the drain
so i decided to move on to a new game
Val is very different from cs
But its the easiest game to make the jump
plus i have ow experience
so ow and cs have a child named valorant
Depends on what part is harder for u to learn
Gamesense or mechanics
Gamesense def the hardest cause i was damn good at cs
I was global and faceit level 6
I think my ow aim helped a lot in val
I have bad habits now tho like crouch spraying and the how diff the weird ass counterstrafing in valorant
Cause im used to full accuracy the second u tap other direction rather then the delay
Crouch spraying is a problem I have too
yeah cause its shit
Disagree
i feel bad for nukkye
cuz g2 is gonna buy m3c
itd be crazy if they drop jody and keep nukkye but
language issue
Imagine
based
i mean
thats just
m3c
and maybe u put nukkye
lol
M3c + maybe nukkye or mixwell
with all due respect to mixwell
What is this acend haven comp
chronicle clears
5 Zests and two KFC Chicken Twister wrap of the days
No offense but there’s a reason they play cypher on a lot of maps
to feed my clones
Chronicle is a solid sentinel and a mid chamber
no
no offense but
they cannot win
Mixwell is a very solid chamber
sushiboys what a steal
This is not
assuming you don't need to deal with language barriers and whatnot
mixwell is known
to be
inconsistent with the team
imo he is good
sometimes
but i rather have chronicle
10 times
out of 10
The entire list is a meme
In fact
It was a Reddit post and Reddit bullied the poster off the platform
yes
Cuz it is so bad
i was one of them
OWLEL 174 3/8
🟥🟩🟨🟥
🟩🟩🟩🟩
🟩🟩🟩🟩✅
owlel.zusor.io
PRX $9 team vs FPX $17 team
Was grand finals
1v4
yea
True
Suygetsu the goat
Fpx went from almost losing in groups (no suygetsu)
To winning masters (with suygetsu)
Shao had one of the highest clutch winrates I think
I think he had higher clutch%
He was more consistent with clutches
Mindfreak had maps where he’s better in a 1v2 than a 2v1
i am fairly certain mindfreak had better clutch
but
i dont know
how the % changed after grand finals
It is good question
The stats r probably somewhere
The stats r
Mindfreak had a 35% clutch winrate
While shao had a 25% clutch winrate
bruh this boy mindfreak built differently
Mindfreak won 12 of 34 clutches
Shao won 21 of 83 clutches
Shao had a 218.6 ACS this tournament
77% KAST
35% headshot accuracy
Mindfreak had 193.5 ACS
Also 77% KAST
And also 35% headshot accuracy

https://playvalorant.com/en-us/news/game-updates/valorant-patch-notes-5-03/ LETS GOOO chamber nerfs
zzz
W patch
please tell me champions is playing on that
Giving neon an ult
Probably
is so fucking busted
why did they do x3 multiplier
bruh overwatch players boutta run wild fr
Because they nerfed the damage
the damage nerf is negligible with that headshot buff
Any tracer player would roll
since pros gonna aim at head now anyways
It’s so hard to consistently track the head
not for overwatch players 🧠
Even for overwatch players
disagree
Cuz val models have much smaller hitboxes
besides with this
you literally
only need to hit
3 shots
its ridiculous
3 bullets on the head
even for
normal non overwatch pros
ttk is so low now
54 damage
yes 54 per shot
It’s still not as high ttk as chamber or jett knives
Or vandal
I think phantom would be close
the movement more than makes up
for it
u can output
20 shots
per second
u can literally kill someone in
0.15 second
while moving very fast
SHEEEESH
Neon ult sucks
im not saying her ult is bad
is good*
headass
but they buffed
like
her big weakness
This made neon ult on par with other eco ults
i was hoping to see more jett
I like neon
More duelist diversity is cool
Like we get jett neon raze phoenix
yes
Or astra
phoenix ascent plz
be a real thing
actually even if its not
prx is gonna pull it out u already know
💯
Phoenix has 100% winrate on ascent
The only thing about Phoenix is like
His flashes
Like
I feel like
Kayo
Is Phoenix
But
Better
Better flashes better molly/nade better ult
Better Info gathering
Kayo ult is basically Phoenix ult but it suppresses
How that character is not nerfed
fade
Phoenix wall is p much useless
probably
Well
It’s so funny
Cuz
All of the initiators are busted
Fade sova kayo
All 3 r busted
Skye has a flash on cooldowns
That gives info
And has cypher ult without needing a body
And has a sova drone
That stuns
Initiators r gonna be good until riot makes an anti info character
They will
And they will be busted for months
Wait
That’s fade
To an extent
With deafens
Info is just
So good
You can never have too many initiators
Ur just gonna have so much util they can’t shoot and you know where everyone on the map is at all times
I’m waiting for quad initiator + neon
Breach kayo fade skye neon
On fracture
How do you counter that
Although that comp will probably suck on defense
You can like
smoke
Play retake
Neon wall is all you need to attack
Retake
smoke
Like on fracture if you just hard push like 2 places
they are gonna have initiator util too
Then you play retake where they don’t have much space
You can with quad initiator
i disagree
not to mention
if the other team
had like 2-3 initators as well
more easily fucked on the chokepoints
The hard counter to that strat is kayo
Initiator r just so good
Plus neon
Like if you 3 stack b main on fracture every round
And just kayo knife plus stun while neon runs in
And then you get skye flash arcade
And fade checks dish
With eye
Then you have so much control instantly
Like just 3 stack some part of the map with neon kayo breach then get skye and fade to check other parts of the map
And you retake both sites
Where you have tons of control
So they’re super constricted
And then you wait for initiator util to be back up and you can retake super well
because we know fielder has a good brig from 2021
and sparkle genji is a constant
Dallas might be like insane during this upcoming meta
Just save neon wall for retake
it just seems like it fits their playstyle
his genji has been a wash
lies
Saw this on Twitter for OWL 2022 tanks
HOLY NUKKYE
I see Trekko is excited to look at that list
piggy is c
how is hotba and punk
the same tier
as someone
lmao
hilariously bad
Belosrea is not A tier off ball
his rein and winston are b- at best
nah this kid didn't put MuZe at C tier
interaction farmer
All I’m saying is that hadi deserves to be A tier, not comfortably A but still
made a better list in 5 minutes
You’re a moron too
oh shit i put Mag above GA9a
5 minutes makes me smarter than half of OWL youtube chat in their whole lives
Only half is sad
what placement is disagreeable
Hadi was a joke placement
Botba too tbh
Daan is C tier to make D tier exclusive to Gator
Void should probably be out of S tier below Hawk but I feel he still has the mechanics
if Belosrea can be seen as a top tank based off nothing but mechanics so can Void
oh shit he isn't on the lsit
fuckin uhhhh
Belosgoat
somewhere between Mag and Piggy overall
put him between Fearless and Someone based off nothing but ball
korean ameng
He’s too old to be on that level
MuZe in C lmfao
And hadi in S
That's crazy
I low-key kinda agree with this list
Hawk B
Yeah he always had better mechanics
Ngl, Someone and fearless I feel are interchangeable
S3 Void still the best player of OW 1 😹
Nah someone is better
He plays a nasty zarya too
Space being in A is kind of a ? Because he hasn't played much this year
that is just Reign hatred
valid in most cases but not here
Hadi above Smurf?
Hawk is showing what he is capable of without deadweightor holding him back
Hadi #1 is what should be an obvious meme
Fair enough
i disagree
hanbin
is goated with the sauce
as they say
Ngl, this tourney mayhem gonna go 5-1 only lose to shock
Hawk deserves to be above hanbin and void for this stage tbh
True
Ngl, Hawk very bottom S, Coluge Muze and Someone top 3 A tier
Gator should be F+ teir cause he's a cry baby and a NFT owner
Damn
the league isn't ready...
damn gator does literally nothing and mfs still hate him
Yeah
James Rodriguez and dembele
He does all it pretty much privately and separately from his main stuff
i think the nft stuff is stupid, but i'm not gonna hate the guy when he does it on his own time
He always complains and is a jerk on Twitter
When's the last time he complained and was a jerk on twitter
💀
That was justified complaining
Agree
I'm playing brig and have silver damage and gold healing rn smh
I ended with gold damage and healing
AS BRIG
@vagrant cargo What will you do if titans first win comes against Toronto
Ok
I never gave my stance
On the matter
metalss dont matter
Skill wise yeah, but how tf do I have the most damage
Because you are playing a broken champ
In silver
On switch
Lol
Twilight brig chorong lucio
Majed Lucio Anamo Brig
what if lucio brig is not meta
MAJED LUCIO OH NO
It is the meta
Majed lucio
in contenders
I'm a Florida fan, how tf do you think I feel know that's probably gonna happen?
I wanted to be a fan of mayhem but they benched goats
Like hydron
And sirmajed
So i root for good franchises
Like titans
Etc
Etc
Ngl, Rupal doesn't have the mechanics of Majed but has more gamesense
XZI just better ngl
Hydron was having generational performances
Gappin people.lile
Heesu
And sparkr
Sad to see him benched still
XZI diffed them harder tho
Maybe
Only thing that Hydron is better at, is Tracer
and the zo
True
mr mike
if ashe sojourn is meta next stage
do you see dallas qualifying
and if so
what seed
I heard Genji/Sojourn and Ashe/echo are the main ones for next stage from Custa
imo
yes
that is weird
because they force genji always
