r34505 is a gem

Dude I love this roster, nerve is massively underrated, zerona is great, icy might finally live up to his scrim potential, spaz is such a solid smoke, net is unfortunate but what can ya do

def changing flair when its added

Lucas was easily their best player, hope he gets picked up somewhere

Kickoff gets 2 non partner teams from qualifying

Those 2 teams are from the open qual playoffs which has 8 invited non partner teams and 8 teams from the open quals

4 from the first open qual, r from the second

They’re actually gonna end up with like bringing jzz back at this point

how are you determining an esport as conservative versus liberal, cause im assuming you dont have like polls of what politics they agree with?

P1: esports attracts young players
P2: young people tend to be more liberal
C: the esports population is more liberal

Players / org can stream but no officials

Think they stream from ro32 onward

Nerve, Skuba, mwzera

I know nothing about league but I hate geng

Lovely to hear. Ty

By now, you should’ve somehow realized what you gotta do

I thought it was 256 but liquidpedia is showing 512 for na

Riot said after ro64 games will be broadcast so either all ro64 games onward or ro32 and on depending on how its interpreted

Bracket is single elimination bo3, 4 teams qualify to playoffs from each oq

What orgs do you know that are considering returning / just joining valorant now that its an open circuit again and what are your plans for this coming season?

Scrum results only matter if your goal in scrimming is to win the scrim

so like during trials there isn’t strats or ideas to work on because there isn’t a team yet, everyone is just trying to win so results would matter in that case

Or the rankers / envy roster famously scrimmed to win and not to practice anything specific

What stray did oaky catch

Pretty sure they changed it during franchise to go out to all franchise teams and double shares to those that qual to champs.

Dunno how it works in this new format but I’d presume all the partners teams still get at least some champs bundle money

Probably got an offer just not a great one, maybe moving regions which she didn’t want to do or for a minor non-partner org.

If her goal is to get signed to an NA partner org remaining a FA and playing open quals with a decent team that also helps to rehabilitate her image is not a bad idea.

I don’t understand ur argument, you say pick rate isn’t the metric to chase and then all of your suggestions for making an enjoyable meta is… to even out pick rate?

More diversity among scans, revive flash ini, buff kj so there is more choice among senti class

Like all of these things are just pick rate, you’re just choosing to buff a little more than tmv is?

Find art you like and participate in it in some form

Brother literally just got married

Brim is fine, he’s the go to for certain map types, just actually make a new map with that type and leave fracture in the pool for more than 2 seconds

Astra could use a little bit

Miks need to be rebuilt ground up

I don’t think she’ll be hard meta, just good

Her utils great but you also give up a lot of the things that make duelist entry good. She doesn’t have cover for entry like Jett smoke or neon wall. Doesn’t have the misdirection of where the entry will be like raze, yoru tp or waylay dash) she kinda just goes in a straight line

Shockwave

Love how the entity that would be “forcing players to stay all night” is the one that’s fearful

You fail to consider zekken perma sova

They get a slight advantage in open quals but a massive advantage economically.

Bundle sales, riot stipend, champs bundle earnings allow them to commit more to the scene without it being as risky or operating at a significant defecit which allows them to pay higher salary and build better rosters.

Starts at RO256 so the first 2-3 games wont be streamed

“EG”

dude corrode is the first good map since fracture, summit is ok

Why do people have boaster on m8? The only thing I’ve seen is that he’s trialed with them, like sheep has reported the other four but why is boaster being treated so concretely?

Because famously the way to change things is to do nothing

I don’t think it’s that people don’t like the players, people just don’t like the org or their playstyle.

Then the players don’t really do that much to stand out as individual personalities apart from the team. So that negative cloud from the team falls on them. I mean the most personality we’ve seen from them is Babybays hotdog thing which I think most people find obnoxious even.

So true

Skuba

“Vora might” and we’re talking about two scan players who both won internationals in their first year, both massively contributed to winning that international but kind of overshadowed by another team mates performance on a single role (dambi neon, asuna phoenix), they’re literally right next to each other in terms of rating in ewc, only substantial difference is vora igls as well and xross has a bit better stats

Agreed but I also think erdes impact is more about making the team work as an igl and having more of a claim to the better cohesion loud had after he joined. Like they beat lev in split 1 after erde joined and started calling but before the other changes. Dont think loud could’ve done that without the kind of reversal in team momentum erde brought.

I don’t think we disagree on anything

It’s gotta be erde for picking up the igl role and patching together a broken team, xross has been great but he’s been great on a great team, erde made a team great

Vora might have more of a claim than xross even

This has literally nothing to do with what I’m saying

Brother is mad over nothing.

The halo effect isn’t just in favor of attractiveness people. There was a 1977 study from the university of Michigan where participants rated someone on traits including attractiveness along with some other things. Half were shown a recording where the person in question was cold and the other half a warmer side. The version that was warmer was rated as more attractive and more positively in the other traits as well.

Halo effect is that a strong initial positive perception in one trait leads someone to perceive other unrelated traits more positively as well.

Being kinder or having a good personality literally makes you more attractive via halo effect. Ya know the opposite of what you’re claiming victimhood to

Liquid has a fate
