Yes

Unfortunately we couldn't bring everyone that applied onto the writing team, so to answer your question, yes, we have chosen our new writers.

If you'd still like to do written Valorant content in the future, please continue to hone your skills! I've been doing written content for over five years and I'd say now my efforts are just starting to pay off.

Navi is a Ukranian org

I personally don't mind it since in both instances the art quality improved, but others might have a different opinion

Wind Breaker could also fall into that "too long" category since it's nearing 400 chapters, but I agree that it should be something that you read after you've read a few manhwa

Obligatory Tower of God recommendation post since I've been binging it for the past few weeks

I actually had to restart it from the very beginning since I got a bit lost on where things were going after 350 something chapters but I'm getting back to where I was and it's amazing. I'm in the hell train arc right now at about chapter 255 and would highly recommend it for any Hunter x Hunter fans

Also +1 for Wind Breaker more chapters are being released and I am HYPED

I thought I was missing an announcement

added

I think this might be the most jam-packed edition of News Almost Missed I’ve ever put out…

Also huge shoutout to Eutalyx for helping me with this

an official post was made from the Valorant Esports EMEA Twitter, and so instead of making a whole new article, we just decided to move our previous one up to the front of coverage

Technically it takes the entire week haha

But yeah I'm working on this for a big chunk of the day and when I'm going between 15+ different web tabs for announcements plus trying to keep the announcements organized, things can get a bit chaotic

oops typo in the editor

should be fixed now

Oops. Should be complete now.

yessir top 3 favorite shows I've watched

I've seen a few shows

Good luck to those who have applied :)

as a MikesHD fan I want him to be signed

Fixed ty for pointing it out

Sorry for a late edition this week. I’m visiting family and had to do a lot of this from my phone, which is a LOT slower than doing it on a computer

Golden Kamuy S1 and/or S3 ED appearance in op/ed of the week when

I've seen only a handful of posts of people making forum posts about various topics in the Valorant esports scene. Do you mind linking some of them?

I'd speculate that the other broadcast talents had their games already planned and the two of them filled in for someone that had a schedule change last minute, allowing the two of them got to slot in and cast a game. In OWL they were big names on the analysis desk and really carved out their identities with that, so the two of them joining the desk for VCT is kind of just the same thing but in a different game

Since we have the Stars Horizon Female lineup in our database as Stars Horizon Fem, it'll stay that way until someone from the team requests that the name be changed to Stars Horizon Vênus

correct, but it's technically a Version1 announcement as well ¯_(ツ)_/¯

fixed

oops you're right

the wording of the tweet made me think for some reason that they were new additions

Supposedly Iceland is quite convenient for delivering broadcasts to other continents because of the time zone. I think it affects Japan the most since for Champions a lot of the games would begin after midnight there.

There hasn't been any mention of a crowd for Iceland, but it's still something that's being considered for the second Masters event.

why not

I know Wizzrobe is still playing under Envy atm but that could change

should be fixed now

Considering that Oxygen's NA team is called Oxygen academy and not Oxygen esports, there's a chance they can be the one to buy Rise. A bit more unlikely is a team that previously fielded a Valorant roster re-entering the game (think SSG/eUnited/Beastcoast).

Outside of those names, it's anyone's guess really.

I'm not that much of a sports manga/anime fan but Wind Breaker was really enjoyable

If anything I'd give the characters some of the best style/drip of any show/series I've experienced

:)

There's no way a Solo Leveling anime comes out unless it's done entirely by a Korean or Chinese animation studio imo since Japan isn't portrayed in a very positive light in the series

Most of the time we base our flag choice on the players, who are almost always the primary subjects of the articles

The only practical exception that I can think of is if it's an entire team disbanding or being transferred to another org, then the flag will represent what flag is used for the team on the site

As of now, PureR is still on XSET. He was reportedly in discussions with DZ a while back, but they were supposedly discontinued.

W + Happy Holidays :)

Counter + Happy Holidays

I'm pretty sure it's bait

model D wireless because that's the only mouse I can comfortably use that's not a brick like the ec1

I never said that. All I was pointing out was what would have to happen if MIBR were to actually jump into the BR scene.

If anything, considering that IMT currently have 2 active players I'd say it's likely we get some sort of announcement from them soon

it's weird because if MIBR were to enter Valorant, IMT would have to disband their male NA roster since Riot doesn't allow one org to own multiple VCT rosters in different regions

Just finished it :)

Being stressed about finals is completely natural. If anything being overconfident might be a cause for worry imo

My finals were all of last week + earlier this week and now I'm officially done with my degree :)

I do my best to cover stories/moves from other regions + not regularly covered NA/EU stuff in News Almost Missed (sorry it's late this week btw, I was swamped with a paper that took FOREVER to finish), but sometimes there are things that I just flat out miss because I'm simply not as acquainted with that region, or they're rumors that I'm unable to confirm.

Still, the individual region news posts are pretty neat to read. Great job on them!

Maybe they can become contributors to News Almost Missed one day... :)

W

oops good catch

W

not exactly a W this time imo since it's late

Thanksgiving in the U.S. plus other writers being busy with their own projects unfortunately equals delays in getting these stories out
