yesterday people were comparing aspas and derke
now today we've got everyone comparing sacy and leo
what's next alfa and less??

damn what a name

bro had to bump

bulkylettuce ur baits fell off you never had to do this before

ok u r without a shadow of a doubt nihso

no aura 💔💔

but still tho
like look at who made top 4
all of those teams deserved to be there

yeah you're right, but this isn't ascension

I think the best way to think of it would be a tier 2 EMEA 'Masters' tournament. Then think of Ascension as a 'Champions'

idk tbh

similar with VCL SA, qualifiers are only starting now

they'll have 2 in stage 2

since MENA hasn't even started yet

damn... hard r?
rough

im actually so glad chess players are being signed now
historically even for top (but not like top 5) GM's it's been hard to make a living through chess alone

lmao

fruits in general

back in my day
when you held a sword you could hold right click
AND left click to block and break at the same time, truly revolutionary nowadays

bro appeared out of nowhere after dming me 4 years ago

U dont gotta be a hater to get upvoted

holy shit
based

1.7 clears all

but yeah 1.8 clears 1.9

yeah but he's not yukky
he's yummy

unfortunately I think EDG is the only remaining team they can't take
I think they could go up against VIT or G2 in a close game though

@yummy

This ur field

8/8

whats fyi

crazy how m4 came along and stole your whole flow in one fell swoop

I agree, I probably won't use it to look at my own games
but I want it because I want to see how coaches/analysts will use it in VCT, you'll be able to anti-strat specific players much better. I'd also be able to use it to watch pro VODs on how to entry or see which specific line-ups they use.

lines and shit

idk man i sucked at ochem

Difference is DRX brings on rookies with which you'd expect to get nowhere near internationals, but termi has this talent of developing them. Sure maybe they could bring on/promote another coach for macro but I think termi's been a huge part of why they've been able attend this many events in the first place.

I think autumn is also somewhat over hated, but at least in his case I can understand why he gets the heat. He has a roster with BuZz, stax and Meteor so the expectations are ofc higher

Termi always makes questionable moves on paper, but it always ends up faring well in the end. I think he's a top tier coach and is very over hated.

cmon man this org is cursed

Masters Berlin: 5th-8th
Champs Berlin: 9th-12th
Masters Reykjavik: 5th-6th
Masters Copenhagen: 5th-6th
Champs Istanbul: 3rd (goated run)
LOCK//IN: 3rd-4th
Masters Tokyo: 7th-8th
Champs LA: 5th-6th
Champs Seoul: 5th-6th
Masters Bangkok: 5th-6th 😭😭😭

I believe in this roster though, hopefully they break the curse 🙏

either sell it and invest it in to long term funds, or set them up to rent (you can give it to an estate agent and they'll do allat for a fee/cut)

but ima be fr vlr is not the place for good advice, let alone financial advice
speak to a financial advisor

I agree

I will live to see the day MaKo lifts an international title 🙏

where is my goat Leo

you get points for winning throughout the year, the teams with the top points which also don't make top 2 in stage 2 playoffs qualify

I like the team, whilst I wasn't a fan of 2023 EG I do like Jawgemo, and I've liked TGRD since they came up as underdogs in 2022. I knew of leaf due to his drama in CS so I was rooting for him too.

But with allat being said, I just like VIT, EDG and T1 more. So I wouldn't say I'm a 'G2 hater'
I do think the org can be a bit dodgy sometimes, but that's no reason to hate on the players.

i have no idea whether to pick vit or g2

easy on termi

he's always got a vision, even if it don't make sense at first

why is edg in lowercase but form in uppercase

this is it
this is the matchup

I watch the CS majors and some other important matches
also I watch Worlds playoffs

besides that I try and watch all/most of VCT

wow

this is it for anyone who hasnt seen it

Thank you sen for giving us the Keznit insane 3k through smoke at 2021 Champs

i remember watching the platchat reaction to this live
probably my favourite moment from SEN combined with the reaction

FNC are a mid tier team in EMEA???

cmon man i was just starting to forget about it 😭

sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight

speaking of

are u betting on either of the games tmrw
i might put like 30 on drx

'It insists upon itself' ahh post

prime rhixcal is so back

gulp

If they show up like they did today + if Pati plays well what would you say the chances are?
I think it'd be closer than people think like I'd maybe even go as far as to say it's TL 40/60 G2

either way tho I'll be happy with whatever outcome
