chat is crazy

But if you subscribe to that logic, every single first tournament is and always will be a mickey mouse, because the teams that do well at the start, outside of say the top 3 rarely maintain their form for the rest of the year as other teams catch up/meta changes. Are you willing to say with 100% certainty that every masters 1 will be mickey mouse?

1. 23 FNC
2. 21 Gambit
3. 22 DRX
4. 21/22 NV/OPTC
5. 22 FPX/NAVI

I think we just have a different understanding of the term 'mickey mouse'

to me it's mickey mouse if: teams that aren't good at the time (relative to everyone else) are present.

why you are saying it's mickey mouse: if the teams that are good on average for the whole year aren't present, then it's mickey mouse.
correct me if my interpretation of what you're saying is wrong

that's why I said ish
but even then, would you not have put loud at least top 3 during kick off?
all of the current top teams (except SEN) were in their infancy roster wise, with very little practice.

No, the best teams(ish) at the time qualified and roughly placed accordingly

I just warm up in CS deathmatch lol

nah green aint bad, but im sure u could get an avg 30% hs rate if u warmed up

idk what colour it is, but it does come in the night market I got it on my alt once

if its a certain rarity (I think gold) it can't show up in the night market

can't be a quality zJos post without a keke

personally I would go prelude (assuming it's a vandal)

I get sick of araxys rly fast I can only use it for 1-2 games at a time cause of the shooting sound

drop da tracker

actually based

yup, also adhd doesn't help

yeah, precisely this. It's like the head hit box just feels larger

warming up is a cheatcode, when I started I got from plat to ascendant within like 2 chapters (acts?) a few years ago

Range is boring as hell for my admittedly small attention span
tdm is annoying because you don't get to use rifles until the second half (or less depending on kills)

also CS is just more mechanically challenging, so it makes gunfights easier in valorant

Val deathmatch is so ass, so I just warmup is CS deathmatch, I don't even play CS, its just that Val deathmatch is that bad

how come you want zellsis or sacy gone? and who do you have in mind?
I think Sacy is a v good player who's just going through a rough patch, zellsis I agree he's not the greatest, but he seems to gel well with the team, and I don't think he's bad enough that he's actively holding the team back

I was close to leaving LEV off of the list bc C0M, but I think the problems with him are really easy to fix

I think GENG can make it close if they do better at champs, but yeah so far I agree

only if LEV lose their first 2 games SEN don't qualify

booing is fine imo, it helps get closer to the 'sports' atmosphere, it's probably just the loud minority who speak without regard for evidence online who make the fanbse look bad

seen a lot of threads of teams which should blow it up, but here's the opposite

AMER:

100T
LEV
SEN
G2 (I think Icy has potential, I think people are just being reactionary when calling for him to be cut)
LOUD (just make some role adjustments)

EMEA:

Liquid? (they looked decent with nAts igling, but I'm willing to concede this one)
KC
NAVI :( (no logical reason, just clinging on to the glory days)
FNC (subject to Leo's health)
TH
FUT

APAC:

PRX
DRX? (I'm inclined to say blow it up, but termi always cooks somehow)
GENG
RRQ
TLN? (might be some upgrades, but I'd be cool with them running it back)
T1 (I like the korean comms roster, even despite of Carpe's criticisms)

I like it more than breeze, but imo it's too hard to A split and too hard to defend B

F N C

we can watch it anyways

man rip navi

LEV confirmed
I think there is only 1 way for SEN to not qualify
idk about the rest

FPX
PRX
FNC
LEV

hiro drops 82
2-1 to FNC

they certainly cooked

immigrant song has the beat, I see the vision

wtf is this
(why it lowk addicting tho)

I think each region has different writers, so it's not really a collective decision afaik

yeah it does, do you know the name of the song?

looking for some hype music

Honestly, why is this the case? Japan has a huge fan base, so surely they also have a good talent pool. What's missing?

trexx has been good in stage 2, but I think his performance in split 1 was average at best, he's definitely an integral part of the team, it's just that as a team VIT has played every map win close, (with very few exceptions) and I just don't think its sustainable to keep it up with Cender's style of calling.

Personally I haven't really seen any threads calling for VIT to blow it up, but I have seen a few comments here and there, but there's always such comments for every team. I think they should continue with their current roster into the off season and see if they can get any upgrades for Kicks + RunneR later on.

I mean I think this is very easy to say with hindsight, for most of the season they looked like Sayf + friends, but only recently they've started to look better. I my self can't wait to see them at champs, but it's obvious this team has it's shortcomings.

evidence suggests that they are scrimming without sacy (likely because of personal issues), but theres nothing official yet

man sucks to see someone of his calibre have to go through something like this, hopefully he bounces back for next year, even if he doesn't play. Hiro is still a very good player so I look forward to see what he can do at champs

if an NA player gets through to champs EMEA will never hear the end of it
also I wanna see sayf and trexx on LAN again

who are they billy billying
