this is how i'd rank them

neo frontier

mystbloom
primordium

recon and neo frontier

ive never seen anyone glaze him im ngl

oh hell nah

eh it's a lot more than just Persian

Pakistani food is a mix of Persian, Arab and mostly North/West ''Indian'' cuisines (Indian is in quotations here as I'm referring to the geographical location)
For example you'll see a lot of common Indian dishes with meat

why does vlr become like this when there are no games on

damn

thats the second 1v5 that's been won from that spot this year in pro play

how much have you bet
with proof

i mean i get being hopeful, but if you expected them to instantly become a top tier 2 team your expectations were way too high
just like anything you have to give it time, wanting for it to go faster isnt gonna make it go any faster

i think they have improved tho
they couldn't qualify before, and now they just did
and it makes sense that they weren't immediately the best team, because again, they just barely qualified

no one should ever be forced to go to Birmingham

yeah i agree
i think we'll get a Masters eventually but prolly not this partnership cycle

I think Dubai would be the most likely
They already got the EWC in Riyadh

I think 2026 is the year where EMEA won't get an event (since one region has to miss out on an event every 4 years)

edit: it actually could be pacific too if they started counting from 2024

My preds would be

Masters Mexico City (Anywhere in LATAM basically)
Masters London/Masters Singapore (Either the UK or Germany if in Europe, or SEA/OCE if in APAC)
Champions Chengdu/Beijing

hopefully sometime soon
usually they loosely follow what league's done in the past few years and the worlds GF was in London

hell yeah

Victor "Victor" Wong

i think the only chance for a replay system is before champs
but i still dont think thats gonna happen so gta 6 it is

yeah... idk about that one bro

yeah, i think its complacency plus some management stuff
i remember a former riot dev posting on here or reddit saying that they were removing devs from valorant to go work on another project

yeah im ngl idk whats been going on recently, it feels like riot used to be like how marvel rivals devs are now

it is worth pointing out the skins people are different to the devs, but honestly its not a good look on the surface

W

ive heard its something to do with politics but idk what it is exactly

i think their Thai core is really good
if they pick up 2 good players i can see them making champs kinda comfortably tbh

damn wasnt he super happy in china

y'all fw it?

i think it nice that they've highlighted elevations, but imo the ziplines kinda make it look cluttered idk
overall a good change tho i like it, i'm curious to see how fracture will look

wouldnt be the first time this has happened

gotta be loud vs optic or drx prx

hmm
ima have to see his replacement to see whether im happy or not with this

i mean check ur tv or a monitor for the meantime
they usually use the same cable as ur pc

I think Spirit or VP are 2 orgs Riot would allow in tier 1
the rest (tier 2) don't have to be vetted as strictly
then you'll also have Premier feeding in to the league ideally

(I don't follow dota, so im ngl I have no clue who Tundra are)

For tier 2 I think it'll be fine, all it'll mean is that the team will have to sell their slot if they win ascension (sort of like how TGRD or SPG ended up doing)

also you have orgs like KPI and R8 who already have/had mostly CIS rosters
the talent is defo there, I think the orgs will come

I think it shouldn't be a problem if they're willing to rebrand for Riot

for example Acend in 2021 were forced to rebrand from 'Raise your edge'

iirc they're defunct
also i think they were directly linked to the government (not sure about this though)

itll be through ascension if its before 2027
but yeah, hopefully with the war (supposedly) ending soon we'll see the return of the CIS league

did boostio become sober?

where is ur pc lil bro

where did dort even go
i havent seen him since nrg started crumbling in kickoff

damn nothing notable in 2021?

yeah i just checked

3-0
3-0
3-2 (from 1-1)

done, good man

btw i didnt mean it when i said u dont have the balls
https://i.imgur.com/SgXBIzX.png

if they make it past an international group stage

if 100T somehow make a single international playoffs this year i'll donate 100$ to charity deadass

i'd ask you to stand on the opposite side of that bet but knowing from your post history you dont got the balls to do it

i wanna see u keeping the same energy if 100t ever qualify to a masters 1

might be a big 'if' tho ngl

tbf they're throwing money at pretty much every esport so i kinda understand the argument

they haven't had that much success though so idk

ill match it

(for the record, I want it to happen)

ill match it and give it to charity
(i think there's a good chance it'll happen, TE have looked real promising)

yeah, i was looking at some of the stuff they did for reykjavik and copenhagen and it was insane

Be careful
