man esports is so cooked but its pretty enjoyable so its sad

honestly EG is probably the best team in the league in terms of price:performance

I think he's just hating ngl

might still have connections on liquid, but he'd probably have to commit to initiator if it were to happen

?????

hmm I think I see a pattern

I found out when I was 17 explained a lot, one of my friends pointed it out when we were studying in the library and I got it checked out

Only way to know for sure is to see a psychiatrist never trust those online quizzes since the symptoms can be explained by many things like some vitamin deficiencies

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Or just
سلام

Both brothers now teamless
Interested to see who liquid will get

lmfaoooo

its at odds with less but seeing fnatic deny the reverse sweep was easily the most excited ive been for anything on the internet

he has a bright future if he gets the chance to stick around on another team

would love to see him go to BR but he'll do good wherever he goes

are KA the TO for this event, wouldn't it make sense for VCT AMERICAS to host it? Or even Riot Global?

You're cooking, but all I needed to read was

No she isn't, you're just bad.

🥶🥶🥶

net really did get arrested
maybe he escaped to play map 1 but the popo found out where he was

might actually happen for me (its 5:20) https://i.imgur.com/xXFmaAX.png

furthermore, yay on astra??? welcome NRG yay

dort cooking??

trembo rn

I think she'll be a good pick but not a must pick, I can see teams sticking with omen except on maybe Pearl and Abyss

knights arena, theyre the TO for VCL NA

ascension americas is coming for the tech pause trophy

mf making it sound like leo faria made him a supervillain hellbent on revenge

o7
he was very good for KRU, surprised this happened
defo a good pickup for whoever gets him

Damn I wonder who said that

???? no way lol
source or it didnt happen

throw vs throw but actually lowkey a banger towards the end

30%????? bro thats like not even amazing

symulator

the end of this map has been a banger

whoever gets him better not waste him or i will riot

to sym vs sato

nah mostly tech pauses and throw v throw

but the end of this map has been pretty entertaining

Sato go buy OP, sit on B and kill all 5 of them

how do you comeback in apex?
like a 1vall ?

biased but DRX

hs% has got basically no correlation to aim or skill for ranked players so bro is just yapping

yup

I don't speak a word of Portuguese but I understand every word of what you said lol

shit is too funny

wow thats impressive

I agree mostly but I can see her being played on sunset, and maybe it will be more like 60/40 on split

I think thats a separate issue with regards to bundle revenue, since orgs like MIBR or KOI are also suffering from it.

But compare it to now, what are TSM making? They are probably making a massive loss, with NA salaries they are easily losing 1M a year, say they go on to get sponsors and 600k from bundles they might even break even, or even go on to make a profit even if they had just invested that 1M into buying a slot

There should be diversity yes, but it shouldn't be artificial (my opinion). If you promote it this way you will attract investors who don't actually care about the game and only care about their own appearances to the public.
The best way to achieve this is as you say more visibility, the way to do this is to advertise and promote challengers more, make it so new VCT fans aren't exclusively in to tier 1 only

let's look at teams like M80 APEKS and TSM, they are already paying money for pros to ascend, but they don't have any bundles or tier 1 stipends. If they were to invest into the situation above I think they would still end up making money due to bundle sales.

As for academy teams being picked apart maybe they shouldn't allow roster changes once ascension begins, or at least 3/5 of the players have to be sold or something, the point being I think that issue can be easily fixed by adding a rule

I would allow academy teams to play in ascension and ascend
(This would mean that the team can be sold, which can be a good thing if done correctly as I pointed above and in £26)

These academy orgs are also the ones who're most likely to try and field GC eligible players in the first place. But more importantly it means that external orgs looking for t1 only don't have to take any of the risk for investing in to tier 2. Over time this would give the ascension slot a value, then there will be 2 ways for an org to qualify, either you take the risk in tier 2 and get the slot for relatively cheap or you drop the bag and guarantee yourself into tier 1. The higher the value of the ascension slot becomes, the more the teams who take the first option will be willing to pay.

But you are right in saying there needs to be more visibility, VCL's greatest strength is being able to tap into the regional market but it simply doesn't do enough as of now.
