...and so we changed the rules to include it?

there were some people that (for some reason) didn't think that making alts to circumvent bans on the site is a bannable offense (it is, please don't do it) so we had to explicitly line it out in the rules

I've only issued you warnings about certain things

also why did this become a sudden Hudsen Q&A

one person's idea of "proper moderation" is another person's perspective of "total tyranny and mod abuse of power"

you can't please everyone

it's almost like the idea that posting things that are against site rules will get you banned 🤯

I actually didn't mean it as a deterrence sort of thing haha

at the very least try some barbecue it's worth it imo

I'd say yes, there's tons of stuff to do in Dallas but just be mindful of what parts of the area you're going to. There are nice parts of the area and other parts that I wouldn't bother going even in broad daylight.

I'm actually planning on doing a weekend trip there to visit one of my cousins in the fall

Edit: my only gripe might be that even in September it's still going to be scorching hot because we don't get an actual "fall" season until like late October so if you're not prepared you're going to have a bad time

+1 on this

I've been meaning to rewatch it but haven't been motivated enough to actually do it

no clue

there aren't any tips on what to look for in the database so I'm just going to assume their page isn't on the site

those months will be for 3rd party tournament organizers to host their own tournaments without worrying about interfering with the VCT schedule

this is pretty much why we don't have a global ranking

It's a really complicated situation that's still being played out in courts but recent rulings have (finally) started to peel the flimsy (and complete bullshit imo) reasoning that because someone is a student-athlete they can't earn money.

I know the CVAL region winners got some sort of prize money but I don't know if the money went to the schools and then gets distributed to the players or if it just goes all to the schools.

However I also know (since I at one point played in collegiate) that since schools outside of esports-specific recruiting have to just play with the talent that's in their student body aren't able to necessarily experiment with roster changes like a VCT team freely can so that means the team has its limits on what they're able to achieve, if that makes sense.

Thanks for catching that :)

should be updated now

kinda rusty (the European flag order is horrendous LOL) but we got this week's recap done :D

posted about a year ago

Since at the time there was so many announcements going on and even with the many writers we had available it would just not be feasible to write full articles for every announcement, so we temporarily had to change what we covered and what we didn't

We're still kind of figuring out what should be covered in a full article and News Almost Missed but a lot of people have finals and end of semester stuff so it's not going to happen immediately

Eventually the roster update threads will be unpinned

Also if we could upfrag articles I would've been one of the first people on this site to get 4 stars lol

Fun fact: on TFTV (one of VLR's sister sites) you can upfrag news articles

it's a period that's more or less already started since a lot of teams don't have any VCT tournaments to play in until next year. Teams are trying out new people and forming new cores to play in weeklies/monthlies/one-off tournaments/etc

when possible I actually try to not read the manga before watching the anime since the expectation of having everything in the story included in the final show makes me feel like I'm constantly judging it rather than watching it and seeing how much I enjoy the storyline in the anime, even if it's not completely true to the original storyline

I've seen a lot of shows that are 9/10s and 10/10s but if I were to restrict it to 5 here are my picks

1) HxH
2) Vinland Saga
3) FMAB
4) Mob Psycho 100
5) Golden Kamuy

honorable mentions for this list could be 3-4 times as long there are a lot of good shows I've seen

from my limited knowledge of the korean scene, there aren't really that many acad rosters so the DRX acad announcement is a first
