They are new rosters. The point never was to say, that the teams mentioned in this thread should be equivalent. The point was, that if you are going to have a discussion about expectations, it should be about teams, that radically changed and don't have many results.

These teams include OG, G2, Heretics. I don't understand why Acend should be in the same discussion, when they have only changed 1 player and we have many games on them and they are still good.

That's as simple as I can say it. I never said anything about these teams being equal, you just assumed I implied it when I didn't.

Korean teams will be impacted by it. They abuse it a fuckton, especially with the spectre. But this was not a nerf to that, it was a nerf to walking and gunning. I don't know many pros who walk and gun.

👍

I gave 0 expectations, you are projecting. All I'm saying is, that Acend should not be in this discussion, because they did not radically change their roster and are performing well recently.

As opposed to OG, it depends on their scrims. Also what is this comparison? Fnatic lost to the best team? What's the point of saying that.

Problem: People necropost on old threads to bring them up to the "recent discussion" tab on the homepage to bait users into thinking something is going on, especially with roster swaps etc..

Solution: Implement a filter, that filters posts older, than 2 months from showing up in the "recent discussion" tab.

Thoughts? I personally don't see any utility in having really old posts be resurrected and displayed on the "recent discussion" tab. It incentives baiting, which users are catching up on and it's happening more and more frequently.

Prodigy team with dafran + mixwell + scream.

take a break

Remove every weapon except the guardian from this game and make it so that any movement changes the rng radius to your entire FOV.

what do you mean? they can run it on a given patch

BG 2-2 BG

i feel like i just watched the same clip being replayed 30 times in a row.. very little diversity

who the fuck said they will be good.. he just asked for expectations? also they all made huge changes.. furthermore G2 just came from a loss to team finest

Acend should not be in this discussion, they only swapped 1 player. OG should be in place of Acend. I feel like people forgot that OG made a new roster too.

Home advantage is cool for NA teams, but I want another repeat of LG vs TL where the crowd rubberbands between excitement and howling, until NA loses and the crowd becomes depressed.

im not saying it makes sense to do a shuffle, i'm just asking what the official policy for that is with masters 3 specifically.. like how is the spot relegated in that case? does it disappear or does the second best performer in the tourney get it? or is it something else weird, like the region gets their slots expanded by one etc..

I wonder what happens if a team gets the spot through Berlin, but completely reforms like G2 or Heretics. Will they lose their spot to the second place, or will the org just keep the spot?

bang and the bootcamp will fix everything with TSM trust me bro COPIUM

i think u missed the original point, the title has a flag symbol attached to it, which is the russian flag

gg raka getting tired of the clones

good luck

Fnatic, Gambit, Acend, Fpx would be nutty. Probably not going to happen though, something unexpected always happens in quals.

Just get all the predictions right.

It's a job. Sometimes the best people don't get selected for a given job; especially when there is not only a relatively new industry in consideration, but also a totally new game. I get the basic idea, that financial incentives leads to an increase in demand of people who are willing to coach and that fresh supply may not just be in it for the love of the game, but the reason they should be getting paid is because they have the qualifications and capacity to do the job.

Why should the industry as a whole go backwards and choose to restrict their coaches pay, because financial incentives mean "they're not in it for the game"? It's not about the damn incentive, it's about sustainability. The coaches, that are "in it for the game" don't just disappear because financial incentives exist, they're the ones most likely to get picked up in the first place and they can enjoy focusing on the game and not worrying about how they're going to pay their next month's rent.

If the people selected can't do the job properly, eventually people who prove themselves to be more capable ought to take their place, assuming proper management and communication within the teams.

Overrated yeah i guess, but the reason for that is his backstory, which is why a lot of people want him to succeed. Whether he lives up to being overrated is another question, it could very well happen if he finds a team that has a good dynamic with him.

sad that he got to only play 4 officials with tsm... it is what it is

wait for fut

Makes perfect sense for G2 and Heretics to not be invited considering they both had massive roster overhauls.

baited too close to the sun

I don't think predicts at this early of a point in time are about getting it right or having the analytical capacity to do so. It's just speculating for fun, exploring what ideas some people have.

I don't participate in it, because ultimately I don't car. But if other people car, then who am I to say who cars.

This reads like some degenerate fanfiction.

I think adding a display name feature would make sense. Allowing a change to the actual user id on a whim would probably be tedious with the way users are indexed on this website (vlr.gg/user/{username}).

Then again with how this website and forums are in general and how important your name is to your identity from the perspective of other users, it is questionable whether this is a good idea to begin with.

HUGE: Line of sight not needed for the knife ability, suppresses for 10 seconds. That's actually pretty scary.

imo G2 should drop their entire roster and put the rest of megastitut in... then nukkye should join gtn in forming the first global superteam

I mean you don't really want too many flashers in your team anyways, it doesn't matter if they add more agents with flashes. What matters is how strong those individual flashes are.

What an actual weirdo. Sometimes I wonder how people think they're going to get away with something like this, when it's easily falsifiable bullshit.

OCE is the cucked region in every esport.

The most boring milquetoast agent in terms of looks and character imo

I wonder if his flashes are actually quiet to the enemies. I feel like they could be very strong if he can just pop flash over corners.

rip

No, his effects are new. They basically disable your abilities for some period of time. KJ ult slows you, makes you unable to shoot and disables your abilities.

No, his ult is active when you activate it. It has the additional effect of making you "downed" if you get killed.

His kit seems fairly awkward to me.

Brazil should have 12 slots and all the rosters should swap gtn in as a stand-in. There is no chance for other regions.

It's a move. That's all.

who cars

It'll take some time. He's still learning I think. Most pros have had like a year long headstart compared to him but if he keeps playing he'll make it.

i only agree with #5

Cloud = God

Deserved... Hope they make an actual good team around him though.
