But I love the vivo keyd core. Hope heat returns again

Yeah I don't like mibr from an org perspective. Mostly PTSD from what their parent company did to one of the most respected and storied Overwatch League teams by dropping all the players like a week before the season started (on of them straight moved from Australia to the US to play) then paying a Chinese org to run a dog shit roster put together in a week with truly awful players.

I think the big problem for OCE is there's no foundation to build and develop talent. Unlike all the other apac regions riot didn't look at it as a growth market and minimized to the point of shutting down the OPL in league. Combine that with big investment pulling out (/order going bankrupt) and the spiral continues. There's clearly talent, I think you could probably build a super team something like wronski, plixx, maple, bob and minimize would be a talented enough roster to be a threat at apac ascension. Would any of the best oce players be considered sane if the gave up higher paying positions in other league's e.g. wronski in Pacific, bob in NA gc, plixx and maple in China. No, the loss of sustainable income from playing internationally would hurt their careers and potential too much.

That would make sense, given it would also allow for whicher emea team that made masters but doesn't end up making champs an advantage over the other teams which didn't qualify for masters. So yeah probs a 7 team bracket with a bye for 4th position in overall standings

Shout out to the fish, man's proved he deserves to be in franchised Valorant as much as anyone else. Man walked out of that match with the second highest rating (as in vrl rating wise) playing 5 different agent's. You love to see it.

To quote an overwatch league chat spam, carpe take my water

But to add a bit more it's really how it has to work. Not just for time zone reasons but also for legal reasons, a lot of countries have restrictions on when people can work especially minors. Aswell if you have a live crowd it has to work around local time.

As someone watch eu and na games from Australia, yes. Set your alarm my man

Yeah nah it's Zelda, shit has some bangers

Sugerfree carbonated drinks are good for staving off hunger. Granted you gotta go the sugarfree stuff. Also sparkling water aswell I think, I'm pretty sure it's mainly in the carbonation. Just check it is sugarfree (or has fuck all KJ of energy)

That guarantees DRX to Tokyo right?

Bruh what did I miss

Have you considered becoming a tradie. Sparkys get paid good money just to connect 2 of the same coloured wire together and not clean up the job site after they make a mess.

I mean that was like weeks back but anyway standard case of players back their own teammates. Every player does it, if not they're not backing themself and their team to have confidence. Like how right now marved is probably saying tenz is the best duelist player in the world. Is it probably cope, yes but they still believe it because otherwise what's the point

Damn this is sad, low key without heat I've kind of lost any interest I had in mibr until heat returns to the active roster. Hope it's not super serious what's caused him to need to step back.
I also guess this means we're likely to see jzz return to primary duelist while heat is inactive

Bit of an EMEA moment that they're impossible to find.

Yeah, having watched from the days it started with Mr X, Sideshow, Bren and Reinforce I've kind of just carried over to Valorant show because I liked the personalities and such. Also now it's just the go to podcast when I'm at work or driving to uni.

If liquid played their assistant coach they would have beaten Navi. Bacon9 should start if sayf is still out next match

Idk, I think Shanghai dragons could have some unfortunate potential of starting their franchise 0-42 would not recommend

Ain't no body bothered to make multiple accounts and get stars and shit on all of them. Not even Luck_ has that much time on their hands

I mean their trending upwards, should be an interesting series vs Global Esports given how much GE love to drop their spaghetti

Mathematically yes, but given it probably requires a lot of extra stuff out of their control. No

It's definitely in for this week in Pacific, unsure about Americas or EMEA

You on some copium if you think they have better odds vs T1 than playing against GE

NA's best hope for making champs?

The Chinese teams are the most deserving of their spots, the only region that went through an open circuit

Low-key hotel take, would not even blink if haven left rotation. Don't get the hype

Other than getting poised when faze fun out of money or hazed there is really no other options

Honestly, this is the carpe effect in action. Man has carried over the fusion issues of good highs and really sketchy lows.

Imo would be on brand to lose to dfm then scrap out a win against DRX right after

Didn't bbl lose to KC....

Such a shame they can't, no one can

I really like the dichotomy on sentinels fans where the team is either unable to do anything wrong and there's always a mitigating circumstance or the other side where everything is trash and they're gods gift to sucking at valorant

Just a quick edit I also love how whether huffing hopium or doomium they're all so passionate everything sentinels always has some guy dropping 3 paragraphs on vlr

Flair change time I guess

Anyone know if the Ivy on OGS is the same Ivy that played on Philly Fusion with Carpe in OWL?

I'll be honest with the style faze like to play and more importantly the way poised likes to igl I can see why you would prefer to keep baby bay over dicey at a Duelist position. Dicey plays slow and stable, babybay plays engage heavy and as the spearhead. He's inconsistent because of this whereas dicey plays slow and stable making him consistent

Also babybay's brand hard diffs dicey and branding is what makes money and fuck knows faze need money

Wait nvm it's kiles man's carrier went off a cliff after he WON CHAMPS. His playing in t2 emea and hasn't done much since

Pattitek, man fell from running emea on g2 to being hard stuck on a 6th place eu vrl team in a fairly uncompetitive vrl

They are just very far behind in terms of fps and most PC based games it's just not part of the culture. Japan really built itself off of its arcade and console gaming areas so that's where the bulk of its population's experience is prior to valorant they're next biggest success in a shooter was probably the overwatch world cup team. As well most of their players are transfers over from overwatch so the tack fps decision making and team play isn't there yet.

I have very little faith in your prx pred tbh

When good friday has managed to close Woolies and Kmart but Valorant is still being played. You love to see it but God it was hard to buy my hamburger ingredients today

Low-key, so far going into this game that comment has aged like milk. Let's see how it looks on the other side

To be fair there is a of gaming branded stuff in each category that doesn't suck. Mainly because people realised the potential to sell some of their premium products with gaming attached as a marketing thing. There's some solid "gaming keyboards" that are reasonably priced nice mechanicals. And headphones wise a lot of proper audio companies started making "gaming options" which were just slapping a microphone on their premium headphones (Sennheiser is a good example)

Bruh one of my mates was there in full Ferrari gear with the Italian flag painted over his face. He's probs crying himself to sleep after what happened to Sainz at the end

Piastri in the points in an orange tractor, can't complain

I haven't looked into the wording or such butI'll be honest in terms of bolstering a scene nothing really keeps a scene going more than veiwership. I mean look at the drop off in eu vlrs like France and Spain when big name clouted teams like koi and karmine corp (even in games without the big name teams) The clout brings the viewership to not only the teams with clout but the series as a whole which massively boosts the other investment into the scene. All in all, it's probably a net positive for GC scene

You are a man who needs to the Facebook page join blokes and their mi goreng. Only reason to open Facebook tbh

I know the nationality rules are still imo a bit stupid especially after it got increased to 3 players. But fnatic's roster would be eligible to play in Polaris since Leo, boaster and derke all meet the nationality requirements. However Koi, Navi, Giants and heretics wouldn't be eligible for any of the vrls.
Bit of an L move by riot

Yeah but did anyone see that Aussie kid put an orange tractor into Q3

Honestly I know it's highly unlikely but I would love to see carpe become the carpe of valorant and continue his record number of 2nd place finishes without a win. Granted with munchkin as IGL I can't see it happening..
