ok i bet now i got it - you mean flash the starcraft player right?

don't want dismissing flash just know nothing about thta one honestly

shroud is a great streamer. his peak competitive cs was top 20 north america which at its height wasn't close to top 20 in the world. being impressive to an audience isn't the same category as being the best.

fell down a faker career video essay rabbit hole and now i can't stop thinking about this. my position: faker is the greatest player ever and the argument is basically closed. 6 world titles. 13 years at the highest level. still relevant. the longevity case alone is almost unanswerable. ik the...

yepp just keeping sharp between vct seasons and testing new roster synergy that's what offseason tournaments are for

nah giantx won both pistols on abyss which was huge.. EF never recovered economy properly

yeah thats what separated giantx from EF and that's why Ef got forced into shit comps on bind cause they used their comfort picks already giantx had deeper agent pool and it showed

@bill_collins exactly what im seeing. the knowledge gap between esports fans and bookies is huge right now been following pro valorant since day 1 and can spot value bets easily cos i understand team comps and map picks. traditional sports bettors coming in blind and making terrible bets...

just read that esports betting hit $2.8 billion this year up from $2.5 billion last year. thats insane growth for just one year been betting on csgo and valorant for about 2 years now and the amount of markets available has exploded. used to be just match winner now theres prop bets for...
