bro I've been reading this kinda as it's happening and I did NOT expect this kinda crashout 💀

Yeah that's what's fishy to me

this roster has a pretty high ceiling
I think there's a world where they win regionals

bio and typing anything might just be more work to moderate (they barely manage as is)
but social links and maybe riot ID's could be cool

I mostly like what I'm seeing

they defo weren't winning 2024 but that last game was painful, top 4 was defo possible

absolute cinema

bump
ardiis is live
(he's gotta know he's cooked)

I think classic again
iirc it was a tiny part in another announcement video but I don't remember which one

my fellow T1 enjoyer

that was 4 months long only, I feel like they ought to try it for a whole season at least

I think an AC would help
if that doesn't work maybe then I'd think about it

in their defence riot is actually more receptive than other game creators their size
but that doesn't mean they don't make mistakes (this is a good example of a misstep imo)

I would love to see custom maps though

oh yeah that's not what I mean but I sorta phrased it badly
I mean could him leaving CS for any tier of Val (or even just to learn and practice Val) be possible?

but even then part of becoming a pro is connections, and he sure has those

oh I was expecting like 1k+ on that
so it's still impressive imo

I didn't know (as I put in the post)
Can you send it? I want to see

is him moving to val actually something that could happen? or is this just hypothetical
Idk much but I've heard he's stopped playing for falcons and there isn't a spot for him on NAVI (could be wrong tho)

I don't mind trash talking in my games on it's own
I do mind when people take everything personally and start trolling because they have fragile egos

Isn't this crazy? I expected him to have wayyy more for his calibre of play, especially for someone who was scouted in ranked too. Just goes to show how much talent he has
(Maybe I'm missing some info, but it doesn't seem like he had any pro FPS experience beforehand either, or maybe he could've had a different account before)

meanwhile my ass has 760 hours and is hard stuck asc 😭

the man can do no wrong

I agree that maybe it's not as bad as people are saying (see #8)
And yes, Riot aren't stupid, but even they can make mistakes.
I just don't agree with Riot's philosophy on this, I think they're overstepping their bounds

yeah thats another example of it being kinda ambiguous
(in my original reply I meant for non black people)

tbh I don't think ranked comms are an indication of whether he'll clash with Nature

tbh idk what to think

What I hope (and think) is that it's not going to be enforced regularly, and that they'll only actually ban people in clear cut cases (take the N word for example).
But I don't like how in theory they have the power to come after absolutely anyone, since in some cases (like ardiis for example) it's pretty much subjective as to whether you think they're offensive or not

to be clear I'm still against it, I just don't think they'll back down

guys i think im allergic to grass

nah don't think I've seen any real people sell anything
sometimes there's bots but the threads either die or get deleted

I guess it would be under self advertising, so no

Well well well

whenever they're not playing and there's another team I want to support that's playing
otherwise #ALWAYSFNATIC

nah last year my expectations were lower, also it was harder to make playoffs

nah not that much potential
I mean like I can see them beating teams like C9 and EG if they have good days and making playoffs, defo not internationals though

i think their roster has potential ngl
(relative to what people are expecting of them)

G2:

Honestly it might just be this
I was very similar I had a blue tracker score all the way to asc then I fell off, I have an alt which placed plat or something and I easily climbed to high diamond then got stuck again. It took me ages to realise it wasn't just a slump and it's just that my skill is high dia/low asc level rn. I mean I literally said to my duo 'my gunfights are good I'm just dying a lot' before I realised

Take it from this guy, hes GC's #1 supporter and fan

Reduux's team is rumoured to be SEN academy, so they can't go to Ascension if that's true. RANKERS I feel like will struggle when they face higher level teams, but I can see them being a dark horse. Tbh I don't know enough about YFP to comment on them

M80 is gone so I think they have a real shot with this roster
Am I maybe overreacting?

normally sliggy
but ardiis is funny
FNS is good too

he's got the tech

I'm gonna wait until the season starts before I jump to any conclusions
but I've seen way fewer of them since TenZ retired, we'll see if there's less when VCT starts

no way!

oh...
wow...
