This seems to be a thing people that don't really talk about, but Riot set the rules for Game Changers, regardless if you like them or not. There's no rule not allowing from playing together like this in the league as Riot and AnyKey do verifcation. Only way to get this changed is to try and rally people for changes, but Riot is not opening that Pandora's box. This won't make any waves until a team like them wins GCC.

SRG has a different issue, that being dodonut is a heavy choker when it comes to VCL, both splits they participated she was the lowest rated player.

Skill plays a big part, given (AND TAKEN) opportunities also play a part, and lowkey I'm sure sexism has denied at least one of these players to progress further in their attempt at a career in Valorant outside of GC.

I can see Sarah, Noia, Daiki, Jelly, dods, doing well in a different roster in T2.
If we are talking about progress in the GC league, It's not about current players in GC, it's about the future ones and if they opt to elevate further. The change will need to be generation by generation, not year by year because of the pool of GC competitors, which is quite smaller if we look at it separately from the general talent pool.

In the grand scheme of things, the scene exists for 5ish years and just now they got more than 1 team to T2. It'll take a lot more time for anything more than that.

And its true AGAIN for another split. They need to reconsider their approach.

Not really gonna label it with anything, its a blend of techno and psychedelic stuff. Her newer stuff doesn't fully resonate with me but thats OK.

Spectacular showcase by antG especially in game 1 and 3. Well deserved, welcome to VCL KRU Blaze

I have major trust in Potter to bring it back, roster looks solid and they now had time to glue together, hoping for a good finish this time around.

Lowkey excited for this split of NA T2, probably my favorite scene to watch

realistically 3-1 WU, but if dodonut dials in same way she did in GCC they can take this

A bit late to reply but SK Nebula and G2 Gozen tried also.

of course, it's your life and you get to do what you want with it and that's what makes it fun :-)

Can only speak from personal experience, but after I left uni, I did not come back because I don't see a point in getting back to education. If you know you can finish it first try without too much struggles, it's probably worth to finish it. If your degree can bring in more money later on, it's a good investment.

I got just about every flavor of electronic dance music and harder styles, here are a few that I dug up recently:

  1. https://open.spotify.com/track/221o4UyKQhqUPoXrCZcC9X?si=6b09ec8c1d4944e4 - psytrance-ish? a bit more than just simple psytrance but also not far enough to be called something else
  2. https://open.spotify.com/track/2Brj5Q23aCNy5Amk9mCnWZ?si=d2c374fb24af40c1 - decent example of the modern hard techno scene
  3. https://open.spotify.com/track/2tRuphnTH7ImPf5uDp77nU?si=bdd0b8f739b84e4b - some modern hardstyle because why not
  4. https://open.spotify.com/track/0AQqSWXtsbzf5cjuWajOrK?si=15cd9278ab0e487d - jazzy breakbeat fusion? great jammer track for me breakbeat/breakcore labeling is a bit difficult for me still but will get there eventually
  5. https://open.spotify.com/track/4Tyw78tYt9irjWb3O0f3GQ?si=00c10fac2b2149e9 - frenchcore but with more of an unusual kick
  6. https://open.spotify.com/track/3FMqJuy9ZgGuUlxbUUgtNo?si=a3d33434eeb54265 - oldschool hardcore / gabber
  7. https://open.spotify.com/track/2bIwU5x0ayvdoq5ULSXJry?si=faf7c03f412b4655 - I can't really label this one, closest I can get is like some sort of ethno house
  8. https://open.spotify.com/album/0zFhGRXpkFAnl82OxLPpW6?si=14d99d30e73d42ee - some fast-paced psytechno (a newer term to describe blends between psytrance and techno)
  9. https://open.spotify.com/track/2PYXc74opHqAaaTM8S5dK1?si=47fca47aac3f41f8 - happy hardcore
  10. https://open.spotify.com/track/4VbeltpF1AXqEaBnwQAhjw?si=228a2b74e96249e6 - putting french in frenchcore, shorter but good

I got around 10.5k liked songs on Spotify and just went with whatever came to mind, if you like a specific sound I'm more than glad to provide more :-)

OK? I still don't understand your point, a tier 3 team played like tier 3 team vs T2. Were they supposed to clean sweep everyone?

posted 5 months ago

i do think she's pretty legendary, however if we are going off of performance alone, G2G has stagnated quite hard, not saying Petra is the sole reason for that, but her and mimi are the longest standing players on the roster, so you kinda have to look at that core

posted 5 months ago

Probably a lukewarm take: a bit overdue. She reached her peak a while ago and maintained it competitively quite well, but competition caught up and surpassed it.

However, she is one of the most memorable pioneers of female CS and female Valorant and did well to move the goalpost forwards

how is 13-10 a bad showing t3 vs t2 team?

posted 5 months ago

Not a bad showing, Ramboot was disrespecting their plays so hard in the first half, unfortunate Safia couldnt get into the game

posted 5 months ago

ah checked Liquipedia now, indeed 22.11.

they initially accepted the invite but opted out after GCC (probably to let the amy situation die down)

posted 5 months ago

ohhh that's very exciting, thank you!

Any noteworthy GC transfers and swaps?

posted 5 months ago

I think she is the most prone to tilting on the SRG roster when she's not playing well, she'll get back on the next map trust

posted 6 months ago

Not sure if you watched the series today but it is pretty clear they fall flat on their playbook / strats and in some moments, the aim wasn't there either. To be T1 you need to ascend which means consistently beating T2 teams. They only have 1 win outside of qualifiers.

I also feel like I fell for the interaction bait (as did many others). We can check in again on the best GC team in a year if they make any progress in T2.

ohhhh this is very valid tbh maybe they'll account for it and not do roster changes but who knows

unless she get's the rezq treatment and gets chopped from the roster

posted 6 months ago

How do you even fix that? They've kinda been doing the same thing for 3 years now through multiple player iterations, with them being weakest when Nelo was in.

posted 6 months ago

I'm honestly OOTL on that, could you explain?

posted 6 months ago

She's under contract and a big piece of the brand, I really doubt they'll break that contract

posted 6 months ago

Mimi is under contract until end of 2027, rest are in the air from what I know

Wondering who do they blame for this result

posted 6 months ago

He used to be G2 CEO, but he kind of famously went down for being a Tate fanboy LOL

posted 6 months ago

I'm going to hold off my expectations for now, as they won a tier 2 game when I least expected it
If nothing else, they are a great example that it can be done

posted 6 months ago

Really curious why Noia and Sarah dont test their hands at going for co-ed, ig SRG salary + winnings are probably comfy enough to keep them in it

Sarah has proven herself time and time again, Noia just needs to tilt less when behind and she's at least tier 2 ready

Making assumptions like this (even if correct) is really pointless. If he is not straight, there is no reason for him to out himself out of safety reasons which are entirely valid.

How he views his sexuality is entirely up to him and there's no self admitting, or needing to "find himself". Being pushy will not make it any easier for him if he is not straight, so leave that aspect of him be.

There's a lot of mismanaged young turkish GC talent lowkey they aim well but the stratbook isn't remotely there

posted 6 months ago

They're okay, but they're not the best. I've voiced my concerns over keeping mimi and petra on the team previously, and when petra left I was excited but that immediately wore off when I found out Nelo was put into her place.

I don't know how old you are, but petra and mimi are a package deal since CS days and G2G kind of fell into the trap of keeping them both with mimi even having her contract extended until 2027 (this needs a fact check but I'm lazy to find the announcement). I very strongly believe there are better IGLs and scan players in the GC scene.

I'm sure the vibes on the team are good, but vibes aren't going to bring you baseline skill. There's been a clear sign Turkiye has good players coming out of it year after year and GC is no different. With the amount of resources G2G has they could just build a turkish GC superteam around amy and vania. I think amy and Safia are two strongest sentis of EMEA so replacing amy isn't a thing they should consider.

LMAO nice post though, people are hella overrating G2G this year when they are on track to have their worst finish in the last 4 years
