Looks more like a rebrand. Especially considering how the upper management is tweeting.

Some universities offer them, but I'd imagine they're not close to the full amount.

Ngl, I had concerns after Lock in, but they really turned up for this event. Guess lock in crowd spoke more to how bad the format was then the region.

I don't think Benita is arguing that people who are trans or NB can't participate in the league, but that allowing someone to change their Twitter profile and then be allowed to compete is wrong. If anything she's arguing that the place should be made safer for women & marginalized genders from bad actors that just want to use the lower skill level to inflate their stats.

M80 was very professional with teams like 9z. If only there was something that explains why they would be toxic to the onion. Oh well, we'll never know.

Just said she is taking a break. Don't think she's elaborated since.

Monaco hasnt been that entertaining since 2016, and Le Mans is fun to watch in segments. The real take is Silverstone >>>>>>

Also 0/8

Idk if I'm reading this wrong, but are they saying they investigated TenTen for the racist comments? Why would that be important?

Who was proven innocent? Did he not admit to it?

-derrek, stellar, Asuna
+Eeiu, JohnQT, nismo

Good change for 100T?

"people"

Sinatraa was never declared innocent, he was never bought to trial. He's never been charged, so he's considered innocent by default, but a court or any legal body has never affirmed that via a trial.

I like Achillios and Paperthin a lot. I feel bad for Paperthin, he's probably one of if not the most underrated caster imo.

The people that dont understand that it's just banter are always the best.

I dont know tbh. It might change in T1, but didn't Turtle troop have Okeanos who not only had nudes from a minor, but send them to other people? There was a little bit of outcry at the beginning iirc, but people forgot about it within a week. Unfortunately, I don't see this being much different, but I could be wrong.

They've said multiple times in the past that they use T2 as a proving grounds for both the players and the talent. I just wish there was some way to listen to/watch the game without the casters

Their website says JohnQT is duelist...

Falls short after drastically increasing the performance of the team. Weird way of saying that.

Fnatic are definitely the favorites going into the match, but I think EG has some real potential to upset.

I think overrated could apply to some people's description of nAts. Prime nAts wasn't underrated, but I do think some people still consider him one of if not the best sentinel in the world.

That's really impressive, no?

Idk much about billibilli, are those all legit, or is it likely botted?

Production has some hiccups, feels like music playing when it shouldn't, audio is a little rough some times, but nothing unwatchable.

If they somehow win Pacific ascension to enter VCT, will they have to drop some players? IIRC, something was considered an import for PRX, so I would think they would have to remove either Jemkin or Kr1stal. Kinda assuming that they have the same circumstances as Russian citizen that plays in Japan.

I still think that Gambit wouldn't have done as well in 2022. They definitely would've been better than M3C, but I don't see them beating a team in 2022 like Optic, LOUD, FPX, or maybe even DRX.

While it might suck for the teams, I really prefer this as a viewer. Seeing all the teams qualify, and then having to wait like a month was so annoying.

Ive recently been watching House, Drive to Survive (even if you're not into F1 or motorsports, it's still really good), and Better Call Saul. Would recommend any of them.

Something roster change made them look really good, finally beat DRX in a shutout.

PRX looks really good with the recent roster change. Beating DRX in a convincing 2-0.

Would be BCJ no?

EG locked their starting 5 for Tokyo before starting demon1, so BCJ would come back in place from him iirc

He could, but hard finding a team that would pick him up. Only teams left that haven't used their imports are KR teams, DFM, zeta, and ts I believe. Among those I only see possibly DFM picking him up.

No, not really. He's a good ranked player from what I've seen, but competitively no.

Absolutely insane how much better Jadeite have gotten since split 1

Wasn't 2022 louds first year? Were they really a long term project.

I think Jett plays are more impressive, but seeing Yay clips where he just destroys using the headhunter were very satisfying to watch.

People too often take one area they are good at (roster leaks in this case) and let their ego expand it into being good at everything. Don't pay attention to him, it's like expecting someone baiting on VLR to actually have a good opinion regarding roster changes.

The most impressive thing in the Americas league so far is that MIBR managed to lose to SEN fracture.

They're up 2-0, not like he's raging that hard. Man's is just stupid

Shoutout to Carlos for getting this team into franchising so they could save NA. Truly playing 4d chess.

This DRX lineup looks so good, would be awesome if they could win the first masters in Asia.

Brazil and JP had very few wins in their first year at LANs. Then look what happened, Brazil won champions, and JP got 3rd at Reykjavik. It wasn't in an official league until this year, and they still managed to flawlessly win the East Asia LCQ. Give them time, and they'll grow as a region.

Mary, easily.

Wouldn't be surprised if Tenz just takes the rest of the season off, works better for everyone imo.

It's not even mid

It obviously wasn't great, but I wasn't expecting too much tbh. You're never going to get Optic Yay back on DSG, but similar to what other people have said, we're probably going to see ABX Yay again.

I tried watching the CN highlights, but I don't know Mandarin so I couldn't pick it out.

Nvm, found it, it was Noyn. https://twitter.com/Noynvlr/status/1645552132051935233

I remember seeing it earlier in the week, I'll reply if I can find it. I believe it was by a leaker from Brazil that wasn't Noyn.
