Put me in as a analyst while you're at it

Stax and buzz left and won as well

Mako kinda

This format feels confusing and really short could we really not play more games?

Boaster can't outigl his opponents he's cooked

Out of all the ways to give up the mostly spanish thing I do think this is one of the best options I'm not fully sold on kajuks and globex role wise but either they get better on them or roleswap or something like that

He's the goat in my heart 💔

Vlr community cups are something I found out about recently and while I can't play in them at the moment they seem quite cool

😡

Guardy is and has been an elite player since 2023 and deserves tier 1

Kirx

Depends on the org I feel like it's harder for some but someone like sen (who tbh do already do some stuff) can easily do something like this

There's plenty of ways to have fun without throwing games though

Ngl you could have omitted the elo and I would guess plat-asc the people in ascendant actually feel so boosted

True I still don't get the +hermes but that's true

Atp I need to infiltrate drx offices because they still keep confusing me

Fnc broke them I guess

Oh okay honestly sometimes it's better to live in the present and go through life day by day and you'll see how much you do and how far you go just try to enjoy your time

I hope they change their minds because EG probably dies without valorant which is sad

I doubt it's profitable for riot considering they do partially fund the orgs
It incentives orgs to not take risks since there's no relegation
Also I don't think it's good for players since it's difficult to get in without winning ascension since I theory most teams shouldn't be making loads of roster moves

But then why didn't they use an academy player for that to begin with there's no point in signing someone new and then bench them after playing basically nothing

It's probably in their interests to not say that it's failing especially if they want to keep it but I honestly don't think it's working at least the way I think it should

It's either EG or C9 let's be honest

Blow it up and give up on the partnership idea it's clearly not working

18 is unc??????

Termi is honestly like how vlr users overreact over everything except somehow worse with the theoretical fixes like I believe in Yong but he's played like 2 games in the academy team on this role (at least recent ones) and he's not even been that great in those games he clearly just needs more time

Academy player who probably isn't actually ready but t0rm0 is more reactionary than vlr users so had to make a roster move for no reason don't think he's bad or anything but has room to improve

Gooner game community draws the line at shit talking

Yeah and the best oce teams in cs for example renagades/100t were on na orgs so it's still doable

Surely it wouldn't have been hard to do
Monyet viper
Jemkin neon
Xfero kj

You wouldn't know he had a kill record if you only watched him this game 😭

#freemako

Kj is a great agent though idk why jemkin is playing it specifically but it's good

That's the most normal comp of all time though?
Wait why tf is jemkin on kj 😭

That's valid if it was an academy team tbf

Tired of this bs that she should have never been released just buff other agents who counter her it's not that hard

You kinda have to when you sign 12 players and 5 coaches

Get kai off neon 😭😭

They still kind of have a spanish core also the idea of a football team getting into esports is cool to me

Idk I guess they forgot I hope they make it a setting though

Wdym they're peak

Tbh a relatively clean 2-1 loss is still good enough at least for me but then u might need an eye test instead of just looking at stats or results

True riot also just kinda lets teams get away with orgs taking no risks with franchising since they'll always be there as well
I honestly think the system is fine in theory but idk I disagree with franchising systems in general I don't see the pros and find the cons show up on a daily basis
I feel like you'd have to try new things if you had to face relegation but also there could be more mini tournaments like in China which there have been more recently

Hold it in for a week if they look solid then you can be excited

Mentally broke down I guess

I would say it's only been a year of questionable changes tbh even all the dogshit ones made before last year like the iso shield (never again pls) were fixed as needed

This is a very hot take but I've never seen an esport so behind on adaptations like vct phoenix shouldn't have taken this long to rise in usage I actually think neon is severly overplayed and yoru realistically isn't bad enough to have a 0% play rate

As long as they don't fall off or teams get better they're definitely the 5-0 team of their group so far

I feel like that isn't even that practical since the fans won't last that long if they suck which can happen if they move since they will have to pick up new players and coaches and essentially start over

Makes me wonder how much if at all he got paid
