we'd have content for days

though tbf ethan is already one of the best people to do it (since he has a history of cheating, and had the mouse watching thing a couple months back; so theres very little good will left for someone who intentionally pushes the rules to their limit so frequently)

"I was salty so I intentionally pushed the rules"

Bro is a raze god so idk what you mean
(Looking at his history apparently Jett is his main, but I remember him for his raze)

(That being said its a t2 player coming to t1, so like we arent talking about Derke here)

Old EMEA arena for Vit vs KOI in 23 (back when there still was hope that KOI was good... didnt last long)

Idk the old arena was great for atmosphere but not really that much to do there (that would be worth taking an entire day off to travel, instead of just watching the stream) so I havent been since

Americas does Head to head first. So H2H -> H2H Map diff (-> H2H Round diff -> Map diff -> Round diff)

So in this case
Mibr: 1st since they beat all 3 other 3-2 teams (Mibr is then then removed from the tie since they can be resolved)
G2: 2nd: +1 (3-2) in maps vs the other 2
Lev: 3rd: +0 (3-3) in maps vs the other 2
Loud: 4th: -1 (2-3) in maps vs the other 2

idk bro, he was FA for so long during the offseason
Initial rumors had him on an FA team (though idk how credible they really were or if thats just an in-joke I missed)

dont think Click is on m8 ngl
Im not fully in the loop with out of server DACH t2 stuff, but from what I gathered (ahead of him joining m8) he was hesitant to even compete in t2, since he wasnt really enjoying his time there

So him going to t1 was unfortunately a failed experiment since it didnt end up being enjoyable either
And no point in going back to t2 after when ya still got so many options (only missed 1 year after finishing school)

Genuinely shocked that Wolfen and Samed somehow got overshadowed in this game, but.... just wtf Pa1ze (and Shinnok was insane too ofc)

Absolute cinema finals
Welcome back to the top CGN

Money^^

Same reason all other games were removed from the feed last time during the EWC games
And why it was fine for a multi million, for profit, event to advertise their own reddit without the post getting removed

To quote https://www.vlr.gg/user/EWCPromo "We have tried to negotiate a deal with the mods of ValorantCompetitve but they rejected every sum we offered, so we compromised and they agreed to let us run a parallel sub that exclusively discusses EWC games."
Basically play nice with EWC and ya get "donations"

Edit: Got added! Thank you to the mod who did it

Still not added

The grand final, https://www.vlr.gg/664909/cgn-esports-vs-fokus-challengers-2026-dach-evolution-stage-2-gf, is live on https://www.twitch.tv/valorantleague_dach atm, so if a mod wants add it, it'd be much appreciated^^

Prti is our prodigy 17 year old IGL
(he's been competing in valorant since 2020 if that helps you gauge his age)

dont do that to bro again

carried the last couple rounds

unironically looked really good when he was doing solo stuff

wait you still get 30 fps streams?
but ye I was joking about the rounded 3,333...

how tf you getting to 630 ms on a 60fps stream

Man....
im happy that FKS is looking good, but these single elim formats are really rough x.x

These bans are manual so if it comes to Riots attention then I have no doubt these accounts would get temporary bans too
It should also be noted that the crackdown against boosting is relatively recent (~1 year I think*) so videos arent exactly the place to look for it since those are often recorded before the internal policy change

*edit: check #45, according to GamerDocs tweet since May 5th 2025

give it a couple more years
front page getting it is progress already

That looks to be the reason for the last couple times ye^^ (International event, or too many t1 games)
Missing stream (like for this one) also usually gets it filtered out (but DACHs last lan also didnt show up despite having a stream so Im leaning towards your reason), but thats also a huge error given that its the main stream for the t2 league

Idk, just hope they add it before the second game (in 40 mins)

DACH is currently live with a lan event. VLR has them correctly scheduled (see: https://www.vlr.gg/664907/cgn-esports-vs-rizon-challengers-2026-dach-evolution-stage-2-sf - live on the same channel as all the dach games: https://www.twitch.tv/valorantleague_dach for example).
It is once again not in the matches tab.

You have the technology to allow people to filter for VCT games already.
Please add t2 games back. Thank you.

that'd make both london and cologne better, so im all for it

I wouldnt look at it like that
ULF is a team that (imo) had build their entire identity around the capabilities of echo in t2. This core identity isnt one that works in t1 in general - and having a sentinel who isnt used to a system like that doesnt help either.

So I wouldnt blame the subs for the roster struggling in kickoff, but look at it more as a transitional period for the team. They are FAR beyond the level they were in t2 strat wise.

unless you find his tracker you dont know what he can and cant play
he only started competing in t2 during the yoru/neon meta, so we have no data on his agents whatsoever

last time he played raze it was fine

sorry mistyped in the above
meant players not teams

so nah, just like all the other rosters (max 3 players per team iirc), just without oversight

South Korea will not play (Flag + Representing the country isnt allowed if they dont come to an agreement with KSOC, who have publicly sided with Kespa)

However ENC is trying to get the players* to join directly instead, so they have more control over the roster construction (instead of letting the coach construct the roster "based on merit-based principles")

(Still wouldn't be representing South Korea; just rosters full of south korean players)

o ffs ofc its on the overview tab and not the points one xD ye thats mb
but thats also funny af

they dont even include the EMEA stages (https://www.vlr.gg/event/2782/challengers-2026-emea-stage-1/playoffs since the name is trash)

Im so confused as to how the rankings work
how is India (full t2) higher than Finland (2 t1 players and 3 current TOP t2 players)

sad to see one of the most veteran t2 coaches go THIS early (especially after their initial success)

Good news for the team is that Kundikundi is even more accomplished in t2, so Im not too worried about things falling apart... but im not sure what this actually fixes

(Also I was so sure Kundikundi was gonna be the one losing his head over Bipo not doing well, not Pakko)

we gotta talk about your definition of choking xD

comeback exists and bipo is sadly having one of those splits atm

and idk what youre watching, but cned is playing neon atm^^ Aint spectacular, but isnt out of place on the team at all (just done in by the last vit game in terms of stats... but then again that one was a nightmare so probs fair that their stats tanked after that one)

he's not even the worst duelist in EMEA...

Tbf you cant blame the school for not blocking that one
who could have expected that github is actually functional sometimes

ye comms actually clean af
now time to watch them get 13-0'd map 3, cause we cant have them looking too good

Idk what to tell ya
Pacific 5.38, Americas 6.55, EMEA 6.44 and China 9.38

Look at champs if you wanna see why; EMEA was... abysmal (worse than China!) before that
Just the tourneys having so few teams that champs makes all the difference

Also due to that if you wanna use other methods of analysis like percentiles, Americas will overtake EMEA in that (since the Sen last place will get removed)

in terms of average placements last year

(while I think TMV and pl0t chat are spot on atm with EMEA looking rough)
international results the past few years have been fine, so thats not really a point to go off of

EMEA outperformed Americas in terms of average placements last year for example
Pacific is the outlier towards the top and china is the only one with a clear gap

thats gramps coming out of his retirement home to fill for a game
that wasnt him returning lmao

youd have to wait for his return before we can say that

might have to add another chapter to the introductory psychology lectures
who knows what behaviors/reactions that could reveal

most people arent into CBT like you, so we arent talking about physically lowest here^^
above refers to an immediate coping reaction lots of people have to mental (di)stress

(reduces the bodys stress response, so its generally beneficial)

you care since a) they wont be allowed to represent south korea
b) ENC isnt interested in getting the best roster possible, and instead wants to auto-include certain players (presumably for clout reasons, but we dont know).

idk if they actually will
ENC is trying to do it without them, but Kespa is basically everywhere in esports for Korea

not exactly the best look for anyone that participates now, given that ENC is trying to undermine competitive integrity for koreas team

Dont think it counts as niche anymore since its got a pretty significant cult following in the western countries nowadays, but Rune Factory

For something that is dead: Spectrobes

decent 1 for 1 replacement... sorta?
like plays flashes + senti (just not viper, so lets see how quickly he adjusts to her)

The main point for those kinds of worlds after you "beat it", is to play -> find problem -> solve problem (imo without guides, since you actually spend time engaging with the game mechanics then)

Usually the motivator for finding the problems is making large builds, but if that isnt for you you can also go for those huge "tech server goals" (e.g. I want to automate every single item in the game [you will need youtube for those kind of goals though])

I personally have never played a forever world in hardcore though, so idk how it changes it
In general I find forever worlds really challenging as a whole and much prefer booting up a server to play with friends for a couple months every 2-3 years (with the goal of everyone creating a mega base)

thats the standard tiebreaker this year so probably correct (given that americas ruleset just references the global one for "Championship Points Tiebreakers"), but where did you find this?

Their ruleset doesnt mention group stage ties at all so Id be interested if theres an extra ruleset somewhere

edit: o see where you found it on liquipedia... sadly they dont source it

CGN looking clean atm
surely the single elim playoffs doesnt rob them

it was a temporary thing dw (less than 24 hours of prac according to Neil in https://www.sheepesports.com/en/all/articles/th-neilzinho-every-single-game-for-us-right-now-is-a-grand-final/en so they kept old comps)

suygetsu has legacy, but bro is just...
theres no way you keep him with how he's playing

ofc^^
the point wasnt to say what a comment is or isnt*
but that python (and most languages) have a special form of comment for exactly what you wanted Foxym to add

*(Like idk if you already have the "privilege" of working at a company with an old propitiatory codebase, but youll be surprised how many different forms of comments and documentation there are over the years xD We have an old internal Java 1.6 application that come with a hand written book to document/comment on its inner workings. So like I aint trying to judge cause itll always be better than that shit.)
