"emea lcq"

Sounds like Sliggy tbh, I encourage anyone to try him out watching NA or EMEA LCQ if you want some chill, detailed analysis and a non toxic chat

You are begging for someone to say that NA is bigger than everyone else. Get off vlr and into therapy bro

Basing this claim on...your bias and clear obsession with NA being the center of attention? Show me some evidence pls

"from an NA perspective we don't watch your games"

Who are you speaking for? I'm in NA and I watch NA, EMEA, East Asia, and the finals of other regions. Just because you are not interested in something doesn't mean others aren't.

you prob stayed on vlr the whole game and didn't see all of its value

haha honestly he proved my point since he turned up on non chamber agents

Nvm dude is an OT demon keep him

i get it after their LAN turnout but i think ur forgetting their regional consistency. We will see!

"definitely not top 2" bro they are LITERALLY top 2 rn even if they played badly at Copenhagen you cant deny that they won the #1 seed last stage

When did I condemn the whole team? I purposely didn't talk about this current game because I don't want to be a reactionary randy. If you look at his performances this whole year it isn't good, it's not about this match

He is still crazy strong with insta tp

I think it's time to acknowledge that there needs to be a role swap or player change because neT on chamber is nowhere near good enough if they want to be a T1 team. If you look at other chambers in this LCQ (dicey, bdog, boostio, leaf, tex) are all better than him by a good bit. Even when Guard won Stage 1 he wasn't performing super well and he hasn't since then in Stage 2 and 3 now. In such a chamber heavy meta, the player on that agent has to be consistently good and he just isn't right now.

Everyone underrates Shopify Rebellion so hard, they are top 3 imo

Good post. I still have hope that Riot will provide some support (host tournaments maybe) for the Tier 2 scene to keep it alive so that there is some sort of pipeline for up and coming players/teams to reach the big stage. Otherwise imo, it will get a bit old to see the same teams playing each other and not have any underdog cinderella story teams in the scene.

What happened? I'm a lil new to fps history

I would argue that in regards to "creativity", DRX is kinda the OG creative team that kinda innovated a lot of stuff util and comp combinations from when the game was still young and even now with the triple initiator comp on Ascent. Obvi, EMEA and PRX have done a lot as well and I think teams like FPX and PRX are innovating even more now.

Guild should be here 100%

I think Ange1 is a really smart IGL and good player but I don't know if you can give him all of the credit for antistratting PRX. They have analysts and a really good coach that did a good bit of that imo.

If the Leviathan twitter account not tweeting about FPX is affecting you, I think you need to unplug a bit fr.

cool list :)

AKDKSFKSLDLSLFDSF

You don't think PRX are gonna win now and ur mad i see

alecks has been crazy good this whole tournament with his strats and anti-strats + they are in grand finals

Its almost like players have super good tournaments but cant replicate their best performance every single match (like in every other sport).

Average Netero take

Dude dropped 30 kills and 20 assists

panpoc exists but I still like this pair :)

In the same point, at halftime Leviathan are winning 7-5 and they showed a whiff reel from them like wtf was that? Imagine winning and production is still shitting on you.

Definitely true but the whole team kinda was invisible on Breeze not just him

devoted haters are so weird im so fascinated at how some people just want to shit on others

You just named arguably 2 of the top 10 players in the world. not everyone can have those type of players on their team. Also forsaken partly plays chamber now which isn't comparable to the entry role.

After seeing a lot of vlr talking about how Rb should be swapped from the team with someone else, I've come to the conclusion that you all are not watching the same games as me. While he may have some occasional inconsistencies with the operator, he has been fantastic this LAN and shown that he is one of the best neon's in the world. Now that DRX lost to the reigning winners by 2 rounds, everyone overreacts and somehow scapegoat Rb when he had a great game on Fracture and did fine on Bind. Everyone seems to be stuck in the past (Iceland) and immediately call for his release and are ignoring his recent form. Put respect on his name!!!

Lost to the last event winners by 2 rounds twice and you are speaking of them as if they are Tier 2 put some respect one their name

Mako is always like that. Honestly Zest has surprised me this tournament with his aim. Not sure what is missing from the DRX team, especially since I don’t buy into the whole “no mental” narrative but I hope they have success soon.

I’m still hoping for them but I have lost the belief that they can win any tournaments :(

What are you talking about? Sure, the game was a bit messy and chaotic towards the end of Map 3, but both teams were hitting major shots and the rounds were super competitive. Chalking that match up to XSET playing terribly is such a misrepresentation of what happened and ignores all of the good things that Leviathan did. I swear when an underdog team from a smaller region beats a team from a bigger region, the underdog (Leviathan in this case) never get any fucking credit and everyone just says that the bigger team was shit.

The correct list is:
Tier 1: Kayo/Fade
Tier 2: Breach
Tier 3: Sova/Skye

I have no idea why you have skye so high ; the only really good skye player left is stax

he literally performed better than marved at that LAN but i def can see the argument for marved. I just dont think you paid attention to Mako at Iceland.

I hope the mods ban you for your own health

Xenophobia isn't funny, especially when you are the one being judged or grouped based off of one characteristic of yourself. While you may not see the impact of xenophobia and racism (it seems very obvious), it is very real to others that suffer the consequences of it. And while you will probably stay being the online kid who doesn't care about anything in a vlr forum, I hope you begin to recognize that xenophobia and racism are NOT the same thing as "trash talk" and that only harmful consequences come from those concepts.

I am not defending NA or anyone lmfao. Just tired of threads about how teams are "lucky that x happened and thats the only reason they won" threads every time someone's team loses.

I wish the braindead people on this site were at least interesting. Unfortunately its just the same idiotic threads copy and pasted for different regions and players

yeah except every time chamber peeks for a free kill and tp away it makes me rethink the meta

How would that be fair to the members of FPX that qualified and can go? If a team from another region wanted to go instead, they should have won their VCT

1000 dollars, preferably a laptop but im open to look at anything. I'm not really sure what is considered max performance (like i said im new to gaming and computers) but ive only had a max 60 fps laptop so I mainly just want something with a better performance than that.

preferably 1000 dollars or less

My laptop just broke and I am looking for a good computer for gaming that isn't super expensive (gaming isn't everything after all). I know basically nothing about computers and what makes them good for gaming so any info is useful. Previously, I had a garbage HP laptop given to me from the military so really anything is a step up. Any info is useful including other equipment recommendations (mouse, headphones) Pls send help

You clearly have no knowledge of what "mental problems" covers and having a mental breakdown does not make someone a ticking time bomb it just means they need a break or some help.

Right because now the competitive scene is totally fucked how??? "some people are fine but a few bad apples ruin it" you mean just like heterosexual people can be fine or terrible. What a weird comment
