The Thalmor are based in Alinor in the Summerset Isles and have served throughout all three iterations of the Aldmeri Dominion. However, aside from dominating Tamriel and enacting revenge against the Cyrodilic Empire, there could be a nefarious hidden motive for their actions. As such, here is a history of the Thalmor, including its origins, actions, and goals.
The DGR Low Elo Charity Tournament is set to be an incredible showcase for players whose skills might not yet be at the top of the ladder, but who still have passion and a desire to compete. As one Reddit user aptly noted, this tournament is “really cool” because it’s throwing open the doors for Iron to Gold ranks—a demographic that often gets overlooked in competitive gaming. With a structure of double-elimination, teams will have a chance to redeem themselves following an early loss. Notably, this setup allows for not just competition, but fun camaraderie among friends as they rally together in hopes of outplaying their opponents. And because the entry fee is only $5 per player or $25 per team, many aspiring players will see this as a great opportunity to dip their toes into the competitive scene without a huge financial commitment. Especially since the entry fee will roll into a donation for charity, players can feel good about where their money is going.
The heart of this discussion swirls around the question of what constitutes a successful performance in Valorant. While winning games seems like a surefire way to boost your RR, behind the scenes, the game has its metrics that often don’t align with our expectations. For Turbulent_Round7922, being team MVP raised eyebrows, especially when they only managed a 16/22 K/D ratio. As one user pointed out, “Your 16 in 22 team MVP doesn’t really matter,” emphasizing that just holding the MVP title doesn’t guarantee a decent RR increase—especially in a match where performance metrics suggest a different story.
Starting with the initial post, MythicalArgentKnight is far from convinced about the merits of Refract. They likened the ability to Chamber’s teleport or Jett’s dash, but were left feeling that, unlike those abilities, Refract is painfully reliant on perfect timing and positioning. “It’s basically get the kill and then get out or die,” they say, encapsulating the sense of urgency tied to this ability. Many players echoed similar sentiments in the comments, expressing frustration over the clunky activation that often leaves them exposed. A regular participant in this debate, saulienux, lamented, “Yup. I keep dying while it is activating.” This sentiment isn’t just one-off grumbling; it appears to be a shared experience among players who are discovering the fraught dance of trying to escape a firefight with Waylay.
Understanding the economic system in Valorant is crucial to making informed decisions during gameplay. After each round, the money players earn is determined by their performance, including how many kills they secured, whether they planted or defused the Spike, and if they were able to win. After winning the first round, players typically receive a decent boost to their in-game finances. This is where the debate around the second-round light buy begins. Some players advocate for using that financial advantage to bolster their firepower in the second round, while others, like flusfu, argue that opting for lighter gear can have dire consequences: “YOU ARE NOT PRO.” This very phrase encapsulates the frustration of higher-ranked players who anticipate their teammates risking a guaranteed round win due to what they perceive as a foolish adoption of professional strategies that don’t translate to casual play effectively.

“It’s been a really nice weight lifted,” Bell said while marking the one-year anniversary of “Quiet on Set’s” debut. “It’s a roller coaster of emotions. I don’t want to sugarcoat it and make the message, ‘Hey, all you got to do is just tell somebody and get your story out and when you wake up the next day, it’s going to be gone and everything’s going to be fine and you’re going to walk through life without any pain or sorrow or sadness!’ It’s always going to be there, but it’s a lot nicer getting support.”
