Sorry I was disagreeing with the post premise and agreeing with you

braindead why do i try

They are BARELY the majority, you use that word because it sounds like more than it is. In 2024, 55% of men supported Trump while 45% of women supported trump. You deadass don't understand what you are talking about

I definitely did not blame white women how tf did you reach that conclusion?? Are you going to ignore that in each racial demographic men were by far the majority that "voted for the problems we are talking about"? Voting isn't as simple as racial demographics anyways, other factors exist you just want to blame women

literally flashback wasn't the reason they didn't make playoffs, it was the fact that they changed all of their maps to the same comp even when they were the best in the world at 1 and great at 2 others already. Fucked up their strat book

If you want to use demographics to assign blame for who voted for the problems in America, racial demographics counter your useless statistic of more women being in the electorate. 90% of black women voted blue compared to 79% of black men; 57% of Hispanic women voted blue compared to 49% of Hispanic men; only White people were in the majority of voting red os it seems if you wanna blame voting on a demographic it should be white people. Even among white men and women, White women voted red at only 53% compared to 60% of white men. Women are not the cause of "voting for their problems". Does this suffice to prove me saying "wrong" to you?

That's not how that works and I genuinely don't think you understand how statistics and causality are related

The audacity to believe that thousands of years of deep inequality from patriarchal societies has completely reversed and men are in an unfair position in society is wild

Anti and washing are complex words?

Jigglypuff, all fun and games till I hit rest on your head

How tf can citizens change or reform a country if they all leave the country when they disagree with the government's actions wtf

One event is directly tied to the Saudi government. Events held in America are not tied to the U.S government. Caring about "a few homosexuals being persecuted" does not mean we support the U.S sending weapons to the Middle East and starting wars lmao it's not a dichotomy

I don't think some people understand how incredibly disappointing it is when people who supposedly are fierce advocates for a personal cause turn their back on it for convenience or money. Of course we know that companies are driven by money, but its still disappointing to see Riot immediately fold on diversity when the Saudi government throws money at it. Reminds me of Jordan Henderson playing for England in Qatar and later Saudi Arabia after being a loud LGBTQ advocate. I know that I will not be watching the event to do my part and I hope the event overall does poorly. There are other options for offseason events, it's not like Riot chose between no money and millions, they were just greedy.

I don't think every new agent needs to dominate the meta, she isn't amazing but she isn't trash and I think that's ok

Ah yes, academic powerhouse Winthrop University where people are known to study for days on end and grown adults do nothing but play Valorant

Agreed, China's level has been pretty low so far but many teams have roster changes and are trying out Waylay in their comps

If a political decision has a direct impact on a Valorant event then it should be allowed to be discussed on a Valorant forum surely

AG almost upset Trace 1st round how tf are they 12th in your eyes when TEC just got slapped around and JDG lost to Wolves

XLG had some interesting waylay gekko combos on Icebox that looked good, EDG Waylay was underwhelming I thought

You typed out "deadhuzz" and then tried making fun of others? Let's self-reflect

Who is that and what did he do

Anyone know why Sliggy isn't co-streaming the opening week of China so far?

People on here are the only people they have to talk to

MOLSI already mollied and flashed before to set up flor for her first three kills before dying to be traded for her 4th you know nothing

Exactly, Apeks win the final in Toronto after MOLSI sacrifices himself on a molly allowing Flor to ace and close out the match

No for flor's sake

Kamyk looked insane during their run to Bangkok I wouldn't understand if they were benching him when I thought he was overperforming tbh

Let's not compare two bad bitches with one another

supamen over melser fs

You literally live in denial of other people's experiences. You claim that nobody cares or that nobody is affected when the literal controversy of this incident proves that wrong. Obviously if people are making this a big deal then they care and are affected, no? I don't think using the word is some unforgivable thing but people clearly care and take offense to other people using the word as an insult. People like you care more about being right (even though you literally are incorrect in your argument) than being empathetic and kind to others.

"I reaaaaaally doubt the people you work with care" Do you have any basis for thinking that or do you believe that so you don't have to feel bad for using slurs? In reality, when people are bullied or hurt with certain words or slurs repeatedly, it isn't fun to see those words thrown around casually by other people. I know that I, a gay guy who was called and heard a lot of homophobic slurs growing up, certainly care when people use homophobic slurs or gay jokes and I know disabled people who definitely do NOT like people to use the word retarded. Maybe you have to experience that or have empathy for people that do to understand idk

Buzz literally had a better tournament than everyone on T1 except iZu who should've won MVP, you're letting the final performance cloud his over performance which was consistently good

People act like a team has to be good at all 7 maps in rotation to be "the best team" when the structure of competitive play allows map bans and weak maps. If a team is the best in the world at 4 maps and shit at 3 others, they are the best team because they will continuously win matches. Arguing that G2 is a better team currently than T1 after they lost a final with a 2 map advantage is literally insane. You could argue that they will improve and become better, or that they will have a better overall year, but they aren't the better team right now because they literally just proved it in front of our eyes

Had to be iZu or Buzz for me. I thought Meteor would be voted tho because he has a more recent popular reputation

Nope, it was the "Masters Bangkok MVP" not Finals MVP

Nobody saying Astra is insane, girlie controls space and sees the cosmos

He was the best player at champs last year and he has been the best this tournament, kinda crazy how he wasn't really in the conversation of top 10s leading up to the tournament

I'm literally telling people to lower expectations in my post

ok? What does that have to do with what I said

I've seen 800 forums trying to figure out who is ruining the team chemistry or who they need to drop in order to be better when it has literally been 1 month into the VCT season and Sentinels made an international tournament and lost to two good teams. Give the team some time before panicking and trying to diagnose the team's problems when 99% of you have no fucking idea what goes on internally on the team. I stg this only happens with Sentinels because their fans are so spoiled from past good performances that they lose their minds the second Sentinels aren't a Top 3 team in the world like be fr your team isn't always going to be immediately amazing when you add new pieces and make changes

You made a thread to mention the Gulf of Mexico be fr

idk I liked the EG team aside from demon1 as an underdog story

Always loved seeing Twisten on stage his passion was unrivaled

What current team is the most loved by fans outside of their own fanbase?

Point to the DRX player that hurt you

MAKOOO

They didn't know what team they were facing how do they have more time to anti?

You just said the only good #2 seed was Team Liquid and EDG 2-0ed them...and you still underestimate EDG

Gotcha thanks!

Playing at 60 FPS got me too frustrated playing ranked lol I felt like I could get out of plat hell if I had better equipment
