goked punched Minny in the face after a heated argument on döner

Ever since than he's vowed to toss m8's games after accumulating leads, letting him show the world of what he's capable of whilst sticking it to goked at the same time

(They might not match up perfectly without high contrast)

that is a CRAZY title 😭😭

Yes it does matter. TGRD would've never have been able to get someone like Jawgemo, or hell if they were anything like Apeks (which they very likely would've been given the state of their org) they wouldn't've even be able to do -neT +Icy. There are also many more benefits to having a good org outside of what you are shown on broadcast.

Boom despite going 5-0 in Stage 1 are now praying that DFM bombs out of playoffs if they want to keep hope of not getting instarelegated
(Although they might still get to go to ascension depending on the tiebreak).

That's also without mentioning the Bleed fiasco from last year.

Both XLG and DRG were forced to gut their rosters after winning ascension.

Ngl apeks cucked themsevelves by their regions good t2 players and going for bad players

You clearly don't understand the position the org was in financially if you think this

That's 3/8 teams, one of which is backed by an org which was supposed to be Partnered

Glaring issues with ascension

Apeks - Showed that your players getting poached can pretty much ruin your season (at least if it's combined with orgs that are poor)

2G - Had to compromise with their roster for 2/3rds of the year due to the 18+ age restriction

Riot need to give some sort of better incentive to tier 2 teams because orgs are still dropping like flies, and with some teams now being relegated (or having to fight to stay in) I only think the optics will get worse

Overall I agree but Greece does have some nice spots like Mykonos (Haven't been there my self but I know quite a few people who have)

But yea, for the price Turkey is actually insane, it's probably the best itw by that metric (up there with Thailand)

Keiko fs imo

you need hard work and dedication

I completely agree, and I'm not sure where you got the idea that I'm saying otherwise from. I literally put the 'both' in bold to make it crystal clear

Obviously these players have put thousands of hours in to the game to get them to where they're at, the reason it's not mentioned often is because, well... for tier 1 it's the basically the bare minimum. What sets one pro apart from another boils down to more than just 'they've played more ranked'

What you're saying absolutely applies to the vast majority of people sure (There are 50+ y/o Radiants (top 0.01%) out there who've got there by just grinding the game). But in this scenario we're literally talking about the best handful of people on Earth (0.0002% of the player base if you count them as top 20). At that level you can't just deny the existence of talent entirely simply because you don't like the concept.

I would absolutely love to live in a world where hard work was the one singular factor required to be at the very top of any field, but that's simply just not how it works.
Regardless, you can still get very far with hard work as I previously said, but to completely deny the existence of talent being significant is flat out wrong in my opinion.

To be a Primmie or a Prime Demon1 you need both hard work and talent is what he's hinting at, and tbh I agree

i got allat but im still stuck in diamond 😭🙏

Champs 2022 was really good

You'd have to consider that Russians are considered imports in every tier 2 EMEA league atm, so you'd have to look at citizenships and stuff (which is how some tier 2 teams are able to have 3+ 'imports')

I think it's either the Lego Concorde or the Lego Movie Ship

You got a playlist you can share?
I'm tryna diversify what I listen to

Yeah, I was thinking those and maybe linking socials like youtube twitter or discord
or being able to link your tracker

would be nice to have user profiles with more than just: name, flag, registration date, last post time, and total posts

Nah, Falcons were denied LEC partnership due to Riot's rules on orgs that have state ownership/influence
The same rulebook applies to VCT I believe

Don't see why not, at least in EU or NA where other esports with more working hours do/have done it.

At most I can see it being more paperwork, which is why I'm suggesting it be limited only to players who've qualified through ascension. (This is one of the biggest problems Ascension has anyway, so it'd help alleviate that too)

I think 12 is fine for now but I’d like to see an 8-4 split in partnered to ascension teams

Plus they should make an exception to the 18+ rule for players who’ve qualified through ascension
