thanks friend

tired and I have 5 more hours of work.

he's listed as Team Captain on VLR, nothing on Liquipedia though. I'm assuming yes, but could be wrong. Would need a resident Korea enjoyer to confirm/deny

I like the team but the fans can get really annoying
that's true for most teams though.

exy and estrella are solid
lakia is a good igl and still in decent form
esperanza and allow are alright

no need Mexico clears Europe by themselves

massive W thanks friend!

fair

the EU copers cannot keep getting away with it

I have seen a lot of posts about how Europe owns NA and how we are frauds in esports in general. I decided to do a bit of research and found these results. These results are over all esports, all sources used will be linked below.

Earnings over all eSports titles:
US+Canada: $274m
Europe: $504m

Population for region:
US+Canada: 369m
Europe: 868m

Earning per person NA: 74 cents
Earning per person Europe: 58 cents

Difference in earning per person between NA and Europe: 24%
This means, on average, NA players are roughly 24% more skilled in esports titles.
Thanks for your time.

European Countries List
Earnings Per Country Over All Titles
Population Count

2x population in EU + you use imports from countries near EU which adds even more population. you're comparing 1b+ people potentially to 350m. Just a bad comparison. Some of the best players of all time in many titles are from NA by the way, lots of fighting games and other titles. You just don't watch them. Fortnite (cringe I know but true), Rainbow 6, Rocket League and Apex Legends all have incredible if not dominant North American teams (or from the Americas).

Masters 1 2021 < Lock In
I enjoyed the international even if it was single elimination, I root for teams from all over the world. Either way, if you go to any game with regions, the qualifier or inter-regional tournaments are "Minors" and the international tournaments are "Majors". This is not a made up rule, it is how most competitive games function.

Quote from Zahk:

LOCK//IN is considered a major because it is one of the only three international events this year under the aegis of Riot. I know it had a... unique format and the prize pool was low but it featured all the partnered regions and thus, counts as a major. If you really have an issue with the word, just substitute international trophy if that helps you feel better about it!

It needs to be an international event. It featured all partnered regions. That is why it is called a Major, and why the introduction tournaments that were regional are not.

if it's her free ability and it takes an entire phantom clip to break, what do you do on pistol.... rotate?
or eco. or any round besides rifle round.

gekko and harbor instalock.
harbor - haven, pearl, fracture, lotus
gekko - bind, split, ascent, lotus
comm early info, if you're trying to climb you're probably not a high rank and they're bad at dealing with the util from these agents. learn lineups and good setups for them both. extremely strong in lower ELO. once high elo, main the basic/"good" agents like brim, fade, sova, omen etc

either the player's personalities through tweets, interviews or streams or just the way they play. plus I always love a good underdog.

agreed just that ardiis is no yay
he's good, just not hard carry

what type of music do you normally listen to

bjor

one good series = best player in the world will win tournament
one bad series = please kick useless bot
everyone overreacts and people get tired of it and argue

I've seen many people rate him as one of the best duelists in the world
I think his jett performances are fine but he's not one of the greats and I've seen people act like he is (mostly fpx/navi fans)

not chichoo?

underrated: ethan, chichoo, soulcas
overrated: jinggg, ardiis, jawgemo

soulcas isn't fantastic but people think he's the sole reason liquid lose any games
jinggg not as much space as before now that something is on the team, people still think he'll hard carry

ty for info

prx has something

let the delusion live

Race, nationality or origin of players doesn't matter. Enjoy the players and teams by where the organization is located, the major region (americas, EMEA or pacific) or the players themselves. I'm in the US and my favorite teams are EDG, LOUD, Liquid and EG. Only one of those teams is even from where I live.

way too based

OP is using a minimal amount ($10) over a long period of time. Putting in a low amount every once in a while as a hobby and seeing if you can get a crazy return is fine imho

I think any situation where a partner makes significantly more than the other should be followed by a prenup, but if they make similar amounts I don't see a reason to.

I think m80>guard but it's 50/50

agreed

cryo is half filo half chinese if I remember correctly from his stream

00nation and FUSION aren't contenders in my opinion
Union will be a tough opponent and I think 9z can have some upsets
I still think m80 and guard are favored but possibility for Union or 9z to make it deep or one to qualify

his old ign was RemyHorse, they could call him that or his first name Zhang. If not either, they will probably say hfm or hfmi

yes, together for 2 months and met on a dating app. just actually put effort into a profile and be yourself and you'll get matches you actually like. my profile literally said I liked anime and video games, and now we do both together. just wait for the opportunity and don't be weird. capitalize on any chance you get to be together and be social and outgoing and confident and it can work out.

this team clears

have you ever heard of seeding

FNS, shao, demon1, cender, monyet

thanks for info on demon1, and yeah something's situation is more about governments and being Russian. Really sucks, fantastic player. hopefully it works out.

for sure, but it's still visa/passport issues so that's why I related them. from the information I know, demon1's situation was more getting his visa sorted and having riot approve of him going since he wasn't registered in time for the tournament. something's situation I think is more with governments and if they approve of him arriving. sucks :/

demon1 got it sorted, hopefully something can also get it sorted out. we'll probably know in the next couple days.

upmind the goat

shahzam IGLing is bad but look at the season stats for penny, dapr and wippie. all playing awful this season. unironically shahzam and oxy are the only things saving them.
