kpop is actually good, but i'm psychologically adverse to listening to it because the fanbase is among the most cringe in existence. like i can't enjoy bts knowing that if i criticize them on twitter i actually run a risk of getting doxxed lol

after playing this game for 2 years I've encountered exactly two cheaters, both in diamond/asc elo, and none between bronze-plat where i started. so honestly, as much as we rag on rito vanguard for being basically malware, it's worked.

that being said, my point of comparison is pre-prime csgo, where even in nova/mg (where i usually hovered) you ran into the occasional spinbot -- hell, i have a vivid memory of a teammate being banned live even when i was in the trenches of silver

whoever wins this probably goes all the way

🫵🏼🤡

ain't no recovering from that

purple-magenta

it's definitely depressing, but the comedy makes up for it. it has a good balance of comedic episodes and depressing episodes, with the latter usually popping up later in the seasons, especially season 3.

season 1 wasn't depressing iirc, but the problem there is that season 1 is unironically bad and the show gets exponentially better as it goes on

Gaming is my reward for working hard on schoolwork. Hell, I've purchased skins for myself as rewards for doing well on exams. That way I can focus on school and enjoy my games as well.

The only thing that's really gotten a bit fucked is my sleep schedule, but I'm working on that

i have them as a contender to make champs, with the other being c9. for me it's either one of those two

that being said anything could happen. kru could finally wake up, clear their mental hurdle of being unable to close out maps, and win it all

Most NAVI fans

wait he's almost 30? i was convinced he was like. 20 tops from the way he acts (not to detract from his success)

release chamber was basically a duelist -- his tp and ult were uber busted

nah not most battlepasses. like i said in my comment i only bought 4, and it's one bp per act. I started playing episode 2 so assume i've bought 1 bp per episode (haven't bought one for ep 7 yet)

radianite is a total scam i agree, but from what i see it only really hurts the big spenders. i've probably spent $100-150 USD on this game across the years I've played it and I've never had an issue with radianite -- the amount i get from the battlepass (free or paid, i've bought 4) has been more than enough. :/

i would be on board with making radianite more readily available through the battlepass though, that'd be a good start

Firstly, the game is fundamentally different in that client -- not every agent and map is available. It's an entirely different build than the game we have here. Even if you COULD get an account transferred, you'd get hit with a "version mismatch" like when people use the beta client.

Secondly, since this is an entirely different client, China is probably the only region it has available. Say you get a China account and you're playing in Europe. You can't transfer the account between regions like in LoL because again, different client. You'd be playing at 400 ping at all times. All those hurdles just to not be able to play the game anyway...?

yep, OP's post is moot just because of that sadly

knowing riot they'll release that knife next Lunar New Year but for an exorbitant price

60, peaked asc1, currently d2

6-7 hours on weekdays, 8-9 hours on weekends.

My goal fhis coming year is to increase my weekday sleep to 7-8 hours

no one mentioning Clannad After Story makes me sad

F1 Monaco grand prix is boring as shit, the cars are too thicc now. Spa's where it's at

also hot take: the Daytona 500 is also a lot of fun even if it's hee hee hoo hoo go in circle

bruh they had six straight Ls after this and got destroyed by Guard right after they won their last game, what are you trying to prove with this

maybe in a few years. theoretically they could do something like that for Valorant's 5 year anniversary, but one can only hope. i would imagine the demand for the ruin dagger would still be quite high

It's buddies, sprays, and banners from old battlepasses. Maybe in the future they'll add the BP gun skins, but i don't think they'll ever add the knives unless they increase credit max to like. 25k and make the knives worth that

idc what happens for the rest of ascension, fusion beat the going 0-4 allegations. i'm forever proud of my boys

jollibee fucking rocks i wish it was more widespread. shit's hard to come by where i'm at

forgot that someone always brings up 7-1 too, thanks for the reminder

twitter drama about two players and their racism
someone on VLR complains about cancel culture
someone on VLR makes the most obvious race bait post ever
someone on VLR drags Brazil into the conversation (they were not part of the drama to start)

in addition:
someone on VLR brings up 7-1
babysasuke appearance
a post with a nationality or race in the title gets >100 replies

he'll probably forget within a week and start some other drama after

it's the twitter way

hope it's a wake up call for him to stop being a dick. tenten stepped out of line but on a different day it would've been fl1p bearing the brunt of that

i became a bang fan when he was still part of TSM Academy and proceeded to eliminate the senior team while on loan to BBG lmao

tsm fumbled their potential carry player and proceeded to remain t3

wouldn't be surprised if the union does something similar to that. or fusion/9z/00 if they somehow by some miracle win

FUS is just doing the classic Paper Rex strategy: they don't know what you're doing if you don't know what you're doing

my boys :')

BORA FUSIONETA

EL PLAN FUNCIONA

VAMOS A VCT CARAJO

tacowhiffa? whiffalilla is just much better

BORA FUSIONETA

they'll win one map 13-11 and then lose horribly the other two maps

m80 2-1

soy patriota pero realista

yeah this storyline happened before, remember when loud got grouped masters 2 then proceeded to win champs?

if any team is falling off based on their performance this masters, it's DRX. they need to regroup again

his raze is fine, i just hope to never see him on neon again :<

this is probably a pretty rare pick, but BuZz. particularly, when DRX was making their comeback down 9-3 on haven against FPX in Champions. i was sold when he went crazy on knives and the caster yelled "ALL HAIL KING BUZZ"

how and why tf do y'all bring in sayf into every thread??? this isn't even about him

ah ok, that makes sense

i still find it a bit silly though, bo2 just sound silly in general

unironically i've never seen a single tournament like that

why does this website have a "T" column in most standings? when has a pro match ever tied?

i just find it very silly

the joke ------------>

o <-- your head

PRX are way too shaky to not expect a clean NRG win sadly. of course, i'm gonna eat my words later tonight when they make map 3 go to overtime and cgrs drops 40

real

s0m or nats for me

is this the new eminem

most people on this site are either 50% cringe takes 50% okay/based takes or 99% cringe takes and 1% based takes

i still dislike breeze over every other map, and it's not even that i can't aim -- it's that the moment you go against a jett/chamber otp op crutch and your viper/initiators don't know what to do (or your own op-er just gets hard diffed) it's usually just gg

i'm also disliking ascent more and more because i get reminded of how bullshit these paper thin walls are. i know spammability can be good for the game, but holy shit

the other maps i honestly really like. i was one of the rare fracture likers before it even got reworked

we might be at each other's throats 98% of the time but i'm happy we can spend 2% of the time clowning on Landrew Tate incels together
