Exactly, who tf wanted the Ares to get buffed? Did they survey some bronzes?
I don't even think bronze players would want that tbh

I disagree. I think it will be similar to the Stinger meta where nearly every team buys 2nd round, changing the economy for the worst. As well, I think Sovas will buy the Ares quite often on maps like Ascent and Haven, making sites like the B site on Ascent even harder to take. Gameplay with the Ares will be frustrating to watch and already is terrible to play with.

Worse than the Stinger and the Bucky meta imo. Praying that the devs fix this before the NA/JP/KR Challengers

Lmao, Luminasity Esport and EXCEL Esports were the first two teams I read and I got confused af for a second

+Neon will now be playable for NA open qualifiers

Bonkar #1 player in the world.

Now that we've seen all these teams play, who do you guys have qualifying for the closed qualifier?

Here's my prediction:
Guild
LDN UTD
Wave
Vitality

Aleksander is overrated, BabyJ is clearly the better option

pwny

I think Harmful is playing instead

Talon inc

^ Facts

Guild and Giants will play in the round of 16 if they both continue to win their games

Al0rante needs a better team

They’re already in playoffs

I doubt Rio Company build a roster, but if they wanted to, they could probably build a roster like:
Seoldam: Jett
Astell: Smokes / IGL (probably going to CR though)
Lakia: Initiator
10X: Flex
Persia: Sentinel

Yeah, if VS still had k1ng on their team, I don't think dropping Lakia would've made them any weaker. But now that they don't have Lakia or k1ng, I feel like this was a poor move by VS management. I mean, no offense to Zest, but I think he is a significant down grade from either one of them.

Lakia better get picked up before the season starts.
If he's still an F/A before Challengers 1, these orgs are actually trolling. Easily a top 10 Sova in the world.

Imagine this roster:
Seoldam (Jett)
Lakia (Sova)
Astell (Smokes + IGL)
Persia (Sentinel)
10X (Flex)

Do you know if any org plans to sign Arch/Dimasick's F/A team?

Apparently Team Spirit and Virtus Pro also have hidden 'trial' rosters, kind of like what NAVI did in Stage 3

If those two orgs join the scene as well, CIS should get decent viewership

"Lakia has been moved to the inactive roster"

He basically wasn't even active in the first place （；へ：）

Good for him. Hopefully he finds a team that will actually take advantage of his talent.

I can't help but feel like VS are significantly weaker now though without k1ng or Lakia :(

Japanese Netero > Bosnian Netero

I got high expectations for NGX too, but I don’t think we’ve seen enough from them to rate them that high yet

LMAO, the chat is going to be absolutely vile during this match

Paper Rex
Full Sense
Secret
BOOM
Alter Ego
Bleed / SBE

Me too :(

Get well soon

Guild
G2
Giants
FPX
LDN

Flyuh and Larrybanks are good young talents waiting to be proven, BABYBAY and Dicey seem to have great synergy, and ShoT_UP is a demon.

Dang, this roster has a lot of potential

Man, I wish platchat costreamed for more regions other than just NA. I think the best we can hope for is that Wyatt / Sideshow maybe VOD review some of their games on stream.

I tried to learn Spanish, but the natives be talking like they are in a hurry 24/7 xD

Based off of what I've heard when my friend speaks Portuguese, I feel like it'd be a similar experience for me :<

Any news on whether or not VCT Brazil will get an English stream?

I already plan on watching it regardless, but it'd be nice if it had an English broadcast as well :)

Five Guys, Shake Shack, In N Out > Wendy’s still imo

Wendy’s is underrated though ngl

True, I don’t agree with people saying that ACE had a fluke run against five world class teams, just stating what that other dude probably would’ve used as an excuse

Victor had Covid I guess

The Laos teams legitimately look like diamonds
Guess that’s what happens when your region doesn’t get its own circuit to develop in

I would've liked to see OCE get two slots, with HK/TW or Vietnam losing a slot, but otherwise the slot allocations look fine. Nice to see MY/SG get an extra slot because they definitely deserve it.

Agent Changes I’d Personally Like To See:

Buff Omen and Brimstone and/or Nerf Astra
Nerf Viper Ultimate
Nerf Jett Dash
Rework Phoenix and Yoru
Buff Sage Heal

Viewership stonks 📈

I think it's more likely that they were scrimming against stellar's team

If 100T really were picking up stellar, there roster would be lacking a lot of firepower

I guess, but most of the time when this stuff happens, they just do rounds of 512 or replace a free agent team with the org

Wdym, it says they are registering here: https://www.vct.gg/leagues/vct22_europe/2411-stage-1-week-1/teams/138476-og-esports

No

The real question is actually whether or not she will say “rebibe me Jett” as a voice line

Taking a 2-3 day break from the competitive and playing some unrated with friends tends to help me.
Also, not gonna lie, I think playing Skywars, Bedwars, and Duels on Hypixel helped my improve my aim (especially with tracking)

Keep up the good work man, your posts single handedly got me excited for the 2022 Brazilian scene :)
