wtf

from what I understand it was that riot denied them an LEC spot, so they likely would've been denied the ascension spot

I guess the bundles were a success then, you could say they're a substitute for this. If a team makes good content they will garner more fans and will therefore probably have more bundle sales.

damn

Leo - 10/10
hiro - 8.5/10 (room to improve to like a 9.5)

DRX really used their time between the KRU game and the FNC game well, glad to see them in good form now
unlucky of us, hopefully we bounce back in the lowers

🤣🤣😂😂😆😆😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

trembo been real quiet since this dropped

fuck me he literally replied seconds before i posted my comment

bettervlr ftw

Its very good if you have the money

Do we know why they got denied an LEC spot or is it just difficult to get one in general

e: I looked it up and it seems to be from a year ago, so idk if it would affect this

damn thats unfortunate

idk man undefeated run besides a loss in the GF of madrid is pretty convincing
that was a lie, but i still believe in them

the platchat reaction made that moment so much better

GENG in lowers is crazy, LEV are good but I don't think they're THAT good

idk if you can pry something and nats away, but if you could you cooked

if you get FUT in there you get the entire country of turkey

People said this when they dropped Benkai and got Something, and yeah if they want to win it would have to be some 'demon'

Every team has these fans.
But PRX might be the only one I agree with, maybe they need some changes (not necessarily the primmie one you mentioned)

they did this in Shanghai too, and everyone dogged on them for it so they finally turned it up. Idk why they went back to having them turned down

tbf this was the first game + the geng game.

he's serious, take him seriously. This is not a laughing matter

this event has a lack of aura
I think they move out of this venue for playoffs, so hopefully it will be better then

solid list, maybe disagree with small things here and there but overall yeah

I saw a TenZ one in my recommended the other day too

yeah, the only super dominant team is GENG whereas in previous years there were at least 2-3 (excl. 2021 where no one knew anything)

it would be kind of odd since they just fired him, also they're probably blowing up the roster so i'm guessing they'll want a cleanish slate anyways

doombros or chet maybe

Yeah, I agree. When tarik does watch the game it is enjoyable but it has become less common, I've been watching sliggy the past few events, with a few FNS and ardiis streams here and there

sure thing

America's mean people from NA and SA.

what about them, maybe they shouldn't be mean

I actually have no clue how they'll do it, a bracket would make sense since it would feel weird to pick 2 teams for 5-6th and 7-8th, but they still might just make us pick through 1st-8th

and then u have to account for playoffs

I hope they actually publish the stats, it would be a very rito thing of them to just gatekeep them

bump (idk why I want to know, I'm not even close to immo 3)

what would bro even want with random peoples ip

I've been trapped in a dream where you're right and my pickems are ruined, but I can't seem to wake up

yes, idk what the statistics are on how many french people play the game compared to english, but you're guaranteed like 2-3 french people 70% of the time when you queue london servers.

but in terms of toxicity its basically all the same, everyone seems to have a short temper and only blames their failures on teammates etc. I'd love to try and play in other regions to see what it's like

until theres a real alternative vlr is gonna be the hltv equivalent. And I don't see VCT dying so maybe they will yeah

real

boy do I have news for you

agree with adding CIS, but we got TR already no?

hoping for a cNed masterclass

rip pickems, wp

welp, at least maybe I have my in game pickems but that relies on VIT beating TLN and then the loser of LEV/TE, and even then TE don't go 4th so rip

do you count quebec as latin american

probably yeah, Saadhak is from argentina and the brazillian scene supports him as much as the other loud players afaik
(I thought you were talking about kru and heat, im tired as hell)

Yeah, I think they will tbh 2 players and the org would be enough to convince me personally, but I'm not from LATAM so can't comment too much
