This is a response post to pistolroundVyseUlt's post on flor being a baiter, probalby the worst post ive come across on this site so far it pushed me to make this clg essay of a post (and no im not typing out his full name, hes PRVU)
have a nice time
og post : https://www.vlr.gg/487816/flor-is-a-bigger-baiter-than-aspas
RND 1 - https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxADXtX0KVrLuj3j1WsVwp0IDn-orxxyKF?si=Z4OVkv9xhn__8Isq ; id like to point out how flor is taking contact the whole time, from the moment batu broke the drone, flor has eiter been 1st contact or right behind the 1st contact, AS for the PRVU's point, flor isnt even in postion to take the 1st contact when the call to hit site tru tree comes in, in fact she's literally knife out sprinting to take the fight, governor defineitly trolled by peaking so far ahead when there was no on ready to even trade, even tho the idea to send governor here 1st is fine considering his hp, but governor threw with his peak timing here
RND 2 - https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx3q1L-zu48mVbU6jMa4yKwrT3pr2QF7cB?si=JRFXmEGIi9p0AN8j ; flor is farming the orb here, and so molsi decides to take 1st contact instead, as for why flor didnt use clone, its a classic only eco with full uti; buy, the reason most players opt for a buy like this over the sheriff buy of yrs past is cause if u die with ur util, u carry it into the util next rnd(which ur sheriff does not) and dont need to spend money on it, and can still have the money to buy a rilfe next rnd, however if u get 2-3 picks lets say, then ur util can have impact and ur chances of winning go up expoentially, especially when compared to a sheriff as u will probably have picked up a wepon from the ground, however ur not throwing util into a rnd when the chances are minimal, as is the case in this situation, i would flame any player who uses a clone there if there isnt a set eco strat (which isnt the case here the case here); (cant believe i have to explain basic val economics concepts like this but here we are), as for the exec itself, (bereathes irl) THERES A BREACH AFTERSHOCK AND TEJO ROCKETS (OH AND A VYSE FLASH WENT OF AS THEY WERE ENTERING ON TOP) RIGHT AFTER, IN THE WAY OF FLOR AND THE REST OF APEKS HERE TF U WANT FLOR OR APEKS TO DO, DIE IN ??????
RND 3 - https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx1ZFXxYUHifLEW6R73Ic5k44PvchoRBIX?si=yA5_vmaBkCKKNw6A ; I will give PRVU his flowers* here, with the asterisk being that flor entrying and taking 1st contact is the strat(we'll get to that one), flor seems to be a little behind the rest of the team here and i for sure would not likr to see my 2 heavy util initiators take that duel before flor, but again we'll get to that (on a personal note, panpoc's reaction to flor's wiff later on in the rnd and apeks winning the fight anyway, with GX throwing a tejo ult in there btw, rly cracked me up lol)
RND 4 - https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxTmzRLdrDeEzXIxCcqJlVshmJ4l5p1NtA?si=bat2jkU19Baq87sI , this one is disingenous as hell from PRVU , apeks have a read that GX are running a trap play on the c orb, spoiler alert they are right, they even send flor in to bait out the trap play(in retrosepct flor should have tried to actually farm the orb a little longer but its not a deal breaker), GX dont fall for it however, apeks still feel sus abt it however and when governor actually goes to farm the orb, they're still set up to deal with/ minimse any losses from said trap play, oh and flor doesnt get one easy kill, she hits a nasty flick right afterwards, ties down GX to C side, gives apeks the space to go c, and then gets the kill on ara trying to sneak up into tree, there is no way apeks win this rnd without flor
RND 5 - https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxHkWqXK0enGSwFIKxGGmtomQ0-uOw8l48?si=EZ6rbNIg7pxLifm1 ; im not really sure whats going on here, for one, flor seems to have gotten blocked by her clone somehow, my guess is she had to dodge the flash after it took damage, still an example of a bait so ill give this one* to PRVU, theres the aseterisk again we'll get to that one later; oh btw the kill from molsi on westside, yeah flor was 1st contact on that one, go figure
RND 6 - https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxy5ldcKdDY7qgajqIlaYxLciIDgMnJUJv?si=VoTqUAXFW5AzXiow ; the moment i saw the screenshot for this one i went "oh boy not this again, theres probalby some type of util keeping the rest of the team out" , remember the breach aftershock from rnd 2?, yeah add a neon stun on top, flor was on the entry with avova tping to boxes, but she gets caught by a neon stun with the aftershock right on top of her, i dont rly think she had much of a choice, and yes she was 1st contact on the exec, oh and apeks did put a breach ult with viper molly back site in there, which is why avova was tping in the 1st place
RND 7 - https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxYeYmYQAXmEs8xlud5Y7zuGmO7WWv2XYj?si=DOKg9J0117DHySVn ; DO I need to explain?
RND 8 - https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxKaM1cXWZ7Fkm3ghSDyygHwBLwvn36AVx?si=aOUqt1ZIQ94qWCko ; The wiff while understandable is still a wiff, she's been brought in to hit shots like that so ill give this one to PRVU(not that a mechanical error should be looked at this seriously, but whatever), as for the ult, apeks needed to clear a main, governor's drone has been used and GX are on an eco with flor at 14 hp, the ult makes sense, the ult cancle also makes sense if u ask me, they know that the vyse is the c side player and apeks have had batu lurking around quite a bit, so westside is going to be delayed, at that point better to get out of ult and regroup with avova then risk going in too far with the ult and give westside the 1v1
RND 9 - https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx09_abdhaXWiMoqNqjEKEMi4cSu3qeFpU?si=6YnJNwpHe9ljLzE6 : omen tping in 1st does not equal baiting, the whole point is the tp forces the defenders to take attention off the choke and then the players in b main take advantage, here flor and avova pull it off fairly well actually, if not for the breach ult that comes in from GX right as flor peeks, isolating her from avova, as for the governor bait, it was a double flash setup with breach flash followed by yoru flash, with governor peaking 1st while looking right to avoid the yoru flash that pop a sec afterwards to counter a turn from the defenders, and i worked, atleast with the guy on site, runner was positioned in heaven and was abe to dodge both, with ara getting one as well
RND 10 - https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxOR2U6S831sO-ngH7ETPNFafkEovGeYRQ?si=Zmr0krcSYc_d67gQ ; Flor throws her tp to get out in case of a utli dump from GX nad so does not have it ready, and then there's the razor vine sized elephant in the room, so even if she did have tp, it would have been no different, avova was screwed the moment those thorns went out, this is an eg of apeks being disfunctional as team more than anything
RND 11 - https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxQCkt4wiT2k1EBkE87i_sQy1o5lZkcRfH?si=gVKRf0iLzsXmXnNN ; Setting up a flash i the 1st screenshot as molsi is throwing out a stunso he cant flash, and someone has to play of said util, as for the 2nd screenshot, the time is low and they dont really have time to set up a proper entry and flor is still in the front shes just clearing left side while molsi clears right , that being said they're a pro team and setting up shit like this on the fly is one of the things t seperates the good from the mid so ill give this to PRVU no asterisk
RND 12 - https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxWytF5Wh2kJ8s5RiNYbbi8b4Sl6JrKbAA?si=G0DKxoMn41H0p0cA, ok soooo........ GOVERNOR ABSOLUTLEY FUCKING TROLLED THIS ONE, peaks b when there's low time with no support, remeber molsi just crossed past like a sec ago, flor is even scrambling to get a flash out, but he dies before flor can even get it out, as for the exec on c, thers like 10 secs they rly dont have the time, still ill give this one* to PRVU as its still techically a bait (im givinbg him points on a technicality, wtf world is this), again we'll get to the asterisk later
