we're spoiled, emea viewership is not that good so the times are better for NA than for EMEA
it makes sense, sucks, but makes sense

welp I just excluded it, malwarebytes is very weird sometimes, great plugin!
using basic right now :D

also the emoji thing is really neat :fnc;:fnc;:fnc;:fnc;

Malwarebytes blocks "snippet.host" but I don't know why?
I get this pop-up every time I load vlr.gg with the normal and basic VLR+ extension.
I checked out the site itself, isn't it just like a pastebin site or something?

they are still playing the same strats as week 1 of regular season, even mini admitted on stage that they are not even trying. he literally said "we picked attack on ascent because we want to practice that a bit more".
we won't see how good they are until tokyo playoffs, they haven't had to show anything yet

this ^

be the best team of their region, the VCLs have been fighting over that since the start of the year.

it is LAN, but not groups. the playoffs is in the VCT EMEA Coliseum in Berlin, as mentioned in the article
sucks to not have the group stage on LAN tho

Well now liquipedia is edited so I guess I got my answer

so liquipedia is just straight up wrong about TH not being able to reach playoffs?

if team chemistry is still poor after months of playing and scrimming, it's not going to solve itself overnight, and they had to try stuff out.

It was easy to notice that the chemistry in the team was off pretty much since day one, must have been hard to play in a team that doesn't gel with each other.
Sentinels had promising players, but it just didn't work out.
Curious to see what these players can do when it all works out internally

This thread makes me believe VLR is worse than Twitter

this, I'm talking in my comment about clout, and then compare him to tenz
mixwell is extremely clouted in the spanish community afaik
just like tenz is in the english speaking community

thanks for this, good to know he's doing well!
sad to see him go though, could've maybe been in franchising now, man's insane

MrFalin, frags really well for an IGL and has really good success with his team

probs didn't cheat in val, but he was banned in battalion I believe for cheating, multiple times and I believe even multiple games
don't quote me on that tho, that's what I remember from the heretics first strike days/rumour mill

yeah when I saw the mixwell announcement, I knew it was mostly for clout.
he seems to be like tenz but for the spanish community or smth

Ppl not being interested up until the observer misses one kill, then it's only hate.
Oh well just another day of an observer

Nice article! I actually did read it
Would be cool to go more in-depth, but looking at the comments, this basic surface level was already too much for this community ig...

F

They're pretty equal to each other
Doesn't mean they're good

I think they're saying that bc in the article, every americas slot is accompanied by a USA flag

WHAT AN AMAZING CLUTCH FROM hfmi0dzjc9z7

TTR getting plucked, players and staff

poor newzera, probs bullied into leaving :(
this might actually be a W for KC tho, not bc of newzera being out, but bc of scream not IGLing anymore and a coach IGLing instead.
curious to see how it'll go, but feels like it can only go up cuz they're rock bottom rn

the OT thing is interesting, probably testing to see if it can work in regular officials as well

Alrighty then

Aka until after champs

Yo holy shit imagine that disguised win ascension with yay 💀

YAY CLEARS

The difference is that Trent was not in a clouted tier 1 org replacing yay/vanity

Problem is also that when there's consistently less jobs for broadcast talent, they'll have to/will pivot to a different job and we will lose them if this continues

so glad you guys are writing about this, it needs more attention

LET'S GOOOOOO

Poor crws, hope he recovers quickly

W move tbh, Kru might actually be able to do some damage now (not saying xand was bad)

it's fine as it is, the leagues are built for the long term, and through ascension there will be eventually 16 orgs per league (if I recall correctly, def more than 10 though)

Ranked ≠ Officials

"Every one of the team's matches has been sold out."
Already wtf

Keznit in

W if they swap him in, maybe finally not just 2 duelist mains trying to figure out a different role

I'm not familiar with the roles, but maybe they'll put eko on the bench? We'll see how it goes

W if this makes their team better, they were so good in their debut, like a DRX 2.0, very patient and drilled I loved watching them.
If this change makes the team better I think they have a good shot at making Tokyo, def champs

It says secret dropped and they didn't have a sixth man (also mentioned in the article) so no just 6 man

Idk whether they edited the article in the 30 min it's out, but it says in the first paragraph they'll replace Secret. GenG doesn't have a sixth so one of them will be sixth man

he doesn't have a flair so could be not a fan at all

obvious pick
well deserved
but man Shao was crazy good this tourney too

yeah true ig, but no way they do 3 china right

Idk what's up with SEA?
But for Russian, none of the Russian players still live in Russia because of visa issues and the players need to live in Berlin for the regular split
