I can fs see them selling a champs trophy one in one the champs bundle
sorta really similar to the 2022 champs knife inspect now that I think about it

The E1 buddies are unique from all the other ones since they don’t rotate, E2-E9 they rotate with the back saying the episode

yeah you're right I should
my downfall is that I only use rare/now unobtainable buddies
there's so many good BP buddies I could be using

I'm going to go to sleep now so if there's any updates please reply to me here so I can update when I wake up

W buddy + skin matching
here's what I'm running rn

This is the answer

I'd suggest:
If all their players play at their celing at the same time they can easily qualify to a LAN

I played G2 mimi like an hour before she played the GCC lower finals in deathmatch
I killed her a few times but I think she killed me more

I just got IEMS, do I need to turn HRTF off?
google is giving me conflicting answers

I've only played like one game of league
but shouldn't top lane be the exact same as bot lane? like what's the difference

both are vandals which I use in phases
like I don't use them regularly, but when I do, I keep it equipped for a few weeks without switching

imo prelude is better than primordium

I have no idea but it's the best I've seen so far

thanks!

Will update this as they're released, please let me know if there's an update since it's pretty hard to track all teams (especially CN)
Note the ascension 2025 teams don't have their designs yet, but they will come eventually
Every team highlighted in bold has created a high effort announcement which I think is worth watching

I think there's a possibility
since in a recent video they said they were aligning patches with the VCT calendar in mind, making it so there wouldn't be any mid tournament changes

It's subjective
but personally I'd hate to go out in public wearing esports merch, the only exception being an esports event
if I ever plan on going to an event I might buy one

See #6, that pretty much sums up what I'd reply to this

That can also be true at the same time, but it doesn't discredit the tournament (it's not the fault of the TO or the other orgs/players)

Despite FPX not attending Masters Iceland 22, no one reasonably tries to discredit OPTC or LOUD
TH weren't great at Madrid due to things (sorta) out of their control, but that doesn't mean SENs win is underserved.

Maybe I'm just biased but there's a double standard when considering NA and EU teams due to the size of the fanbase (I've seen the same for NA teams in CS, and I think both are unjustified)
Also there's an argument for 'every team was invited', which tbh I don't really get. It means the good teams were invited too, and in fact the good teams did do well (Look at the top 4 + NRG),

it's subjective but imo they butchered PRX

I might get shit on for saying this, and I am obviously biased

but if an 8 team double elim tournament isn't mickey mouse
then a 32 team single elim where the top 5 teams (at the time) made top 5 sure isn't

(for the record, I don't think 8 team double elim is mickey mouse, I'm just using the fact to illustrate my point)

that would be cool but dawg they didn't even give us player cards 🙏😭

tbh I don't know whether I agree with you or disagree with you.
For me what makes watching the game entertaining is the showing of mechanics, which have the opportunity to shine more with mirror comps (this is also why I'm a fan of CS alongside val, literally everything in that game is the same, and mechanics is what sets teams apart). So in that sense I disagree

That's why I really really enjoyed watching the Chamber meta, but that is an example of a broken agent. That's an example of an agent highlighting mechanics more, so I guess circumstantially I agree

They aren't counting pre franchising regionals
and I'm guessing the regional final (at least for 2024) counts only stage 2

yup, I think on the maps which KJ and Cypher are 50/50 picks people are gonna just pick Cypher now

it's likely Batujnax

I can't even tell if he hates fnatic or not
see what he's saying when you scroll down

I think he's just trying to go for a baiting world record or something

I can see it but only when we have like at least like 33% more agents

bro... the classic literally says it counts as a masters
it's quite literally in the image you linked

If you're asking about me in particular, it's because I support the teams and the leagues, and I have the disposable income to do so
I'm sure the majority of people who own 24 bundles won't be buying 25 bundles, and no new player cards probably just makes that percentage higher

not me (unfortunately)

im assuming this is an affiliate team and not an academy team
but i can't read turkish so can you clarify?

Phoenix is like 99% from London

this is my theory

https://i.imgur.com/WB1EaHr.png

the phone is just the default
they're gonna make other stuff you can hold

KC higher GX lower imo

its a thing that builds up over time
I think a 'hobby' is the best way to describe it as some above me have

that's not valid imo
if teams think they're being outperformed it should be a sign that they need to put more effort in, not make it so the teams which actually do put more effort end up getting punished

yeah
last year I bought so many bundles because of how nice the player cards looked
like (no hate to KOI) but despite their mediocrity as a team, their player card was so cool, it defo made more people buy it

I'll probably just get FNC + EDG
maybe Masters/Champs winners too but not really planning on it

https://i.imgur.com/89FqBOY.png

but tbh they probably made up for that in league skin sales

''Not rare but thanks'' inc

there are defo some colour upgrades
I really like G2 and NAVI's new colours but honestly the player cards are really really disappointing

Normally I try and give the benefit of the doubt to Riot when they make changes which I think are bad, but honestly without saying a word about having any difficulty, and even after boasting that the bundles this year would be more 'exciting' they come out with these: https://x.com/ValorLeaks/status/1876291342411939903

The classic skins aren't anything spectacularly new comparted to last year, but I can get behind them since creating that many unique skins is a challenge.
But what I can't stand for is the player cards. These were the mostly the responsibility of the orgs last year, so Riot simply can't use the same reasoning for these being worse. Tbh this is a huge disappointment, and I probably won't buy nearly as many bundles as I did last year

To rub salt in the wound, this is a part of their official statement:

2025 Player Card with a premium finish, showcasing team identity and creativity.

wait wtf
the player cards are way worse now

before they were all unique
