Parma ham is amazing. Parma is a pretty boring town tho lol

Favorite cheese? or all cheese good

Very interesting! Do you do it homemade? or is there a restaurant that sells pizza with mushroom, cheese, and bbq?

They're actually surprisingly difficult to use as a pizza topping. I'm convinced now that you must completely dry out the mushrooms to have a nice mushroom pizza. Otherwise the water retention ability of the mushroom will just make the pizza super soggy and that's awful.

I had a Papa John's pizza when I visited the US. It had a jalapeno pepper and I actually did try eating it with the pizza. It was pretty good. Bacon and cream cheese I've never tried. I think anchovies are alright depending on the mood lol.

That... actually sounds pretty good. Did you add it to the pizza (I'm assuming regular cheese and tomato sauce) after baking or before baking?

Those are delicious options.

Dear vlr community,

Salutations! I hope this forum finds you well. I was wondering, what foods do you like/dislike on your pizzas? For example, one of my favorite pizza toppings is buffalo mozarella (a type of cheese from a cow-like bovine) , but I hate having olives on my pizza.
What about you?

Best regards,

Actually, the population would actually only be around 2.5 billion because Middle East and China + other Chinese regions take away from the population.

But the 0 trophies OMEGALUL Clap I think holds water.

Governor okay, lenne...?

Ult should probably be 9 ult points at least... Valorant movement isn't very fast and shift-walking could be pivotal in clutch matches/hiding position. To slow everything down to half speed could be very overpowered. Either that, or make the slow effect less (like 3/4th the speed) or shorten the duration, which would be a bit too much.
C is kinda weird. So, what would happen if you used a wormhole less than 30 seconds into a match? Does the trajectory work like a sova dart? Or is it more like a fade eye/gekko molly?
Q is pretty nice, so like, utilizing the move player code more (like iso ult) kind of?
E is interesting, but that seems challenging to code and it also sounds very susceptible of bugs.

I mean, I screwed up the TE-FPX match so y'know, we all got moments where we make the wrong choice, and you know what? It's okay! Pick'ems are just and will always only be just that: pick'ems. No stakes, no nothing. You'll get it next time brother!

Wait, I know The Search by NF and BZRP Music Sessions #52 by Quevedo. I think those are rap songs, so yeah that's cool ig.

But you must know some rap right? Like, do you know any famous artists in the rap genre? Like, I've heard of eminem and some scott guy but I never really got into it.

I mean, they were a great team. My mates and I always made sure to catch their matches back in the day. Such a shame what happened happened...

Okay I'll admit it, I barely know anything about rap. I remember listening to a famous rap song once a couple years back and I also listened to some british guy speak very fast but that was about it. Do you have any recommendations?

gambit will always be playing in our hearts.

Pick up a violin and play me some fucking Vivaldi to prove to me that you are going to create music instead of sputtering/yapping like a tea kettle/chihuahua lol.
Jk but if you really want to get into rapping then I think you should listen to some famous rap music or something. That always helps!

That is not my intent but I guess it is indeed a byproduct of this little hobby of mine lol. Thanks!

I just love DRG I don't know what more to say they're very likable :)

vo0kashu vs watasink, the battle of the Russian imports. Of course, I think that it is safe to say that vo0kashu wins that one, which is exactly why watasink has brought along his Belarusian sidekick diseased! I think it makes total sense, and I'm looking forward to it. Over the course of these tournaments, I've grown very attached to Dragon Ranger Gaming. I know that this has nothing to do with analysis or whatever, but I'd like to tell a story of a young boy who really wanted to become a paleontologist, and watched a lot of Jurassic Park and stuff. That was me a couple of years ago, and DRG's logo really reminds me of a dinosaur creature!

Okay. I know I didn't explain jack this time, but DRG win. I don't know what LGD's going to pull but I know that DRG will win. 2-0 or 2-1 I'm not sure I think it's like a 50/50.

~~I'd like to say that the 17G win against these guys on 11/03 was a fluke, and I really do think it is! AAAAY expressed his confidence in the player interviews, and said "if you want to watch an FPX match and you don't know which to watch, just book a ticket for the grand finals." Well, if he and FPX really want to get to the grand finals, I think a dominant 2-0 here would be ideal.
Anyways, skill-wise, FPX beats 17G. 2-0 FPX win~~

RA only dropping 10 maps to prospecting DRG and TE coming out on top against a hopeful FPX proves to be a superbanger, as two teams that imo have popped up out of nowhere within the span of these three acts of the tournament fight each other to prove who is the better team. Both teams finished Top 3 last Act, and this could potentially be the match to find out who truly deserves to be on top. Considering the fact that both teams gave their opponents a walloping in their last respective series played, I think I'm going to shut up, and let the teams speak for themselves.
Will Rare Atom triumphantly add two points to their map record against TE of 4/0? Or will Trace Esports finally get their much needed revenge and send valanalysis's crew to the lowers? Stick around to find out!

Personally I think it's going to be a close 2-1 RA win but it'll be a funny story if RA wins 2-0 again and it'll be an adventurous tale if TE gets their highly anticipated revenge...

First prediction that actually require skill. And I fucked it up lmao. Yeah FPX played subpar compared to TE, yes they did win Lotus, which they kinda had to win because it's their signature map, and yes they got slammed on both Sunset (one of TE's best maps) and Ascent. Overall, very strong, solid, and dominant game from Trace, some of their executes were simply phenomenal, and their ability to put a strangle-hold on a lost FPX really proved to be the takeaway from the match, as TE marches on to their goal of becoming the best Chinese team. They've already proved that they can take maps away and even defeat EDG. Now all they need to do is to show the rest of the region that they are just better.

Probably just pressure from LAN ngl.

Okobotro🗿

Jeez. I mean, perhaps the GC scene is just too small in China to get proper funding or smth, but then again, TYLOO isn't really known for their financial factor either.

One decent but highly situational Omen tip I can give you is that:
In 1v2's, you could try to smoke somewhere on site and fake tp so they think you go into the smoke :)

I'm sure that with the scene growing and stuff they'll be forced to crack down on all that bad stuff.

Very interesting!

May I have a gander at it?

Atone for all your sins and hope the father takes you or smth idk

My memory is actually very bad for some reason... sometimes I ask "how are you" to my friends two-three times before they remind me that I've already said it lol

ignore this

I really like nice walks along the beach!

I know that 4 is an unlucky number in some cultures or smth but I don't see a problem with it in this case...

Prime nAts is one of val history best players, so you'd be right in saying that someone like yay could be second to him.

You didn't have a reason to make such a based roster, good job!

What's issue with 4 stars?

I'm going to get so cancelled :(

This is very difficult. But I think it looks something like this:
EMEA > Americas > Pacific >= China
People are sleeping on CN imo, and EMEA is still objectively speaking the best region. Heck, they've got FNC and countless amazing talents. NA teams are overrated and imo LEV is the only remaining savior of Americas. Sentinels and C9 just don't look that good.

Your birthday should take priority my friend... when is it?

I don't think there is a need for me to say too much about the prospects of this series, as I doubt that the TBD team will affect the outcome of this highly predictable series. Both TES and 17G have proven themselves in the group stage, and I think the last thing we need would be for them to experience the inevitable slammer that is EDG. I think that this match could prove instrumental in predicting the future EDG matches, because they have to get a good win here if they're looking to win this tournament like the last two. And as proven by Act 2, with the loss against Trace Esports, we know all too well that EDG is not untouchable. They can be touched, they can be cut, and they can collapse like any other team if the opponent play correctly. Of course, I acknowledge the fact that either TES or 17G downing EDG would be a very impressive if not almost impossible feat, but there's always the excitement of an upset here.
Regardless, EDG 2-0 win.

Tough match for both teams to be honest. Bilibili's looked decent and Attacking Soul Esports have just looked straight up strong. It's been a while since Bilibili has faced ASE, and I can say with confidence that this time will not be like the last two times, where BLG came out on top. To be honest, I think this series is one I was looking forward to more, because who doesn't like to see clashes between two of the top teams in a region? Anyways, BLG looked great against LGD, getting the second map 13-0, but I think ASE will show them out the door just fine. Compared to their performance in Masters Tokyo, and acknowledging the upgrades they have made to their roster and strategies, I think it's safe to say that this game might result in an ASE win.
ASE 2-1 win.

He dropped 42 :)

Rare Atom vs Dragon Ranger Gaming, a matchup I think was always bound to happen, with a proven team like RA against a rising team that may be trying to prove itself. I'll lay out the given facts: Rare Atom is the favorites to win this series. Not many people know about DRG, but I do. I know about the team with the godly sentinel player in vo0kashu, and I know about the clutch skills of maizi and the composed duelist that is TvirusLuke. I saw their demolition job against TEC, and it almost brought a tear to my eye just how well they shut them down. However, RA is not TEC. stew is not Abo, MarT1n is not B1ack. RA is on a completely different level from TEC, and I think that may very well prove to be the nail in the coffin. I'm not saying that DRG will not put up a fight, but I think considering all factors, RA should be the ones to win this series, be it a hard fought 2-1, or a staggering 2-0.

RA 2-1 win, trust in DRG's will to fight.

It's a new tournament for TE, and it's another opportunity for Flex1n to realize his team's dream of become just like big daddy EDG (that's cringe I'm sorry). While watching the FPX-RNG game, one thing I took away was that FPX is indeed a top Chinese team. The way they retook sites and the overall dominance they showed was not due to RNG's misplays in any way. In fact, I'd say that FPX has a very good chance at beating TE this very match. I understand, TE really blew my expectations out of the water by beating EDG 2-0 and dominating them on Lotus. However, after getting thrashed 3-0 and watching FPX play Lotus (which they are great at), I think there's a very good chance that we get to see a banger tomorrow.

2-1 FPX win.

I don't follow NAVI but in my opinion cNed is the better player overall.

Sure, but he's the most solid duelist in CN after Zmjjkk

Duelist: whzy (BLG)
Initiator: AAAAY (FPX)
Sentinel: shark (KBG) or yosemite (BLG)
Controller: Xiaonuo (RNG) or Flex1n (TE)
Flex: BerLIN (FPX)
