Petra man...
Almost forgot about the circuit points mb
But simpler words, no, it is not joever
Nope. This is just stage 1. This doesn't matter at all other than the prize money. For instance M80 came 6th in stage 1. Atleast that's what I know unless they changed the format.
Pretty decent
Bit concerned about Envy on anything other than Yoru since all of that map 1 other than last 2 rounds was just him dying and the rest of the players winning 4 v5s.
No fan = no clout = no money = no sponsor = no invitation into big events = org go boom
I don't think anyone should be stopped from complaining. I complain a lot about things. It's your right as a viewer to say what you think is right and what is not. That being said, expecting these orgs to just not get in the money doesn't make sense. I mean who doesn't want spontaneous wealth.
There is a big gap between what is morally right and what is the smarter thing to do. Would I have liked the orgs to take the moral route, sure. I would love them to. But do I expect them to? No. I don't expect the orgs to go out of their way and reject this. That is just not smart in a business pov. No matter of money is ever enough for a business.
Let's be honest, people are gonna watch. And these orgs know that they are. Fans are important to these orgs but the money is too. And this is some generational money that can be used to paying salaries and betterment of the orgs. I am not defending them taking part in the competition, I am just explaining the reasons.
It's hardly bigger than regionals unless you want to decide based on the prize money lol
bcJ got this in the bag
Wait a second, that is NOT Centel...
Ain't no way bro went from MVP candidate to the G League in the same season 😭
The Dallas Mavericks have assigned Anthony Davis to the Texas Legends of the NBA G-League
Nah you will find someone as long as they don't catch you using vlr o7
Aww
You will get someone who likes you back fellow Chobro 🐐
Just vibe with me and listen to music with me, that's all. Oh also enable my caffeine addiction.
I think it is completely okay to be against it. I don't think I am for it either. But just dogging on the orgs and saying, "x org is bad for joining EWC" is just a bit weird. Also I heard people talk about how the orgs are alive and hence they shouldn't join EWC. There is a huge difference between being alive and being sustainable. And the difference exactly the amount that EWC pushes into the orgs. Who exactly wants to reject 500k for playing 5-6 games?
Even if you lose first round that's still 50k.
I think some people are so deep into the "big company=money=bad" that they have stopped looking for reasons as to why the orgs are risking their fans to join in the first place.
Damn...
You can join Seulgi's kittens
VLR frogs would never kick you ❤️
This. The desk talent work harder on stage (not talking about off stage grind here) than the players. Day in day out, shoots, commercials, promos etc etc
To begin, I respect all the players and I think they go under immense pressure during these games. But don't give me that "burnout" bullshit specially when we are talking about the current format and calendar of VCT. The players play once in a week or two with a whole month gap between the tournaments. Hell some teams play like 11 games in a whole year. So the whole "burnout" should never be an issue for you. Mf LeBron James at 40 is playing night in night out and you, a person in their 20s can't play continuous days of Valorant? I understand Sideshow has some good points and qualification to talk about these issues and I respect him for speaking out despite being employed by Riot but saying Burnout is a reason why EWC is a problem is just wrong. You can say everything like politics and discrimination and sports washing but burnout? Infact I will stay on my statement that they should do full round robins for each split. Put more pressure on the players. They can play 2 games of Valorant in a week.
It's formalities. When you are partners with a certain org, you have to say these things even if it is purely for the show.
What do you want them to say lmao
"You know we need the money. We are disheartened to announce that we will be taking part in EWC" 💀
I mean you can always not watch it even though I know it's a stupid solution
Think of it like this
You own a bakery
You are in big loss every year when a notorious mafia comes in and decides to fund you with money in return for making bread for him which he will give for free to the poor as a pr move to cure his reputation
Will you really say no to the money
So EWC recently released a list of partnered orgs (here is a link from Fnatic's twitter showing all the teams partnered with the organisation) and people are freaking out over it, which I get. You don't want your org to support something that seems morally wrong to you. It's a very human thing to think of. But let's be real here for a second. Your favourite orgs are not "The Good ones". They are business owners. Your favourite org is just a team to you, it's their whole life, the way they make money, their passion.
"But Denji, are you normalising what Saudi do? You piece of shit!!!"
I am not. And I don't want to talk about it since I don't have the qualifications or ample research to speak on such things and I don't want to spread misinformation. I am just trying to speak from their pov. It's easy to dog on someone for going against your ideals but it's really important you step in their shoes.
Most esports orgs make thousands of dollars losses each year. This tournament prize money is huge (500k for winners in LoL last year) and playing and winning this tournament can be a huge shift in their yearly turnover. In an industry where you barely see any profit whole year, I don't expect anyone to stop or not participate in it because of morals.
At the end of the day, it's Morals vs Money, Morals vs Survival and morals don't pay the salary of your players. Ideally wouldn't have to choose between these but here we are. This isn't an ideal world.
Map 5. Round 21. Abyss. Guardian. KangKang.
For a second there I thought you were talking about Lando Norris
Yea
Glad he is back on Loud
He does look great in green
Nah dawg
They have powers and shit in Star Wars
These mfs were couldn't hit two regular humans with pistols
You gotta see the scene
The people shooting the protagonists in the last fight scene of Mr and Mrs Smith. DAWG YOU HAVE A WHOLE ASS ROCKET LAUNCHER, YOU HAVE SURROUNDED THEM WHILE THE ONLY SAFETY THEY HAVE ARE BULLETPROOF VESTS AND YOU STILL MISS?? HOW??? Star Wars goons get the blame for no reason, these bozos couldn't kill two people standing in the middle of gunfire. You can see the clip of the scene, probably somewhere on YT.
I hope they do good. GE gets so much hate I have started to root for them from feeling bad
Visa 💔💔💔💔
Philipinos 🤝 Brazilians
Having shitty visas
I was so excited to watch him play. I saw him for Galorys, if I am not forgetting, in Brazil and then in Ascension. He was very promising.
Is he playing for Loud this Split 👀
Kind of interested in Loud stonks if they do let him play.
Or maybe the college kids are actually good
No like I said, I loved the progression at the later half of last year. It was so competitive where the lowest wins any team got was 4 and 4th position qualified with 5-6. It was so competitive. It seems like they have taken a step back.
Different roles
I think Pancada never really jelled with the team. He is a great player but Chemistry above everything else.
I could be a bit harsh but China so far has been a bit unwatchable. Last year specially stage 2 was some of the most fun Valorant I have seen. This year for some reason it just feels like the level has gone down a bit where the good teams are simply running away with it without any sort of competition from the lower or even mid table teams. This is not very fun.
Be better
Even HenBabyH can bait better than this
People meme about this team and Antony but since him joining, they are unbeaten and just came back from 2-0 in a game to win it. Crazy turnaround for these guys and they are so fun to watch too.
Leave good boy alone 😡😡😡
