fr i only fw select rap, its not even of my era but eminem is the only rapper i can consistently listen to, other than that hip-hop, r&b and soul is all i can vibe with.
idk about american rap, but the absolute state of UK rap is laughable, (in my opinion) to me it sounds like recycled garbage where rappers throw in random faff and just hope it sticks, and even then it has like no meaning, all these rappers talk about hard upbringings, gangs and drugs, whilst they all've been to the most elite private schools

depends on what u msged her with ngl, if u just dumped a whole ass bucket of emotions via the first text message, you mightve fumbled, and her response is sorta understandable. but keep your head up for next time king, try to get to know them (and them you) maybe by talking to them casually more in person to build up a common demeanour and take it from there

making changes now is a bad idea, after champs would be ideal, but only if necessary.
we've only really gone through 1 minor meta cycle and are on the precipice of a huge change (viper).

i think this is like saying envy shoulda changed their roster after champs cuz they lost in the GF in masters and bombed out of playoffs at champs. In the long run they still stood together to win iceland and make GF at champs next year

beesechurger

amazing for ranked, and forces pros to innovate good change

drx
if fnc don't qualify
i wouldnt be mad if prx either

between Less and nAts imo

k1ng take your pick

oh my bad
10k and its settled?

tf is it and why
ur literally outlining loud winning lmao

despite being a fnatic fan, you completely cooked him 💀

Idk what it is, but if I had to guess it makes it so only one of G2 or NRG have to lose as opposed to both of them having to lose. I could be wrong tho, today's the first im hearing of the 13-5 thing

never forget

imo M8 and KOI are switched, M8 are similarish to VIT where they have potential, but its far less. KOI have the potential to be a solid 5-6th team if they fix up

based

go big or go home (not broke)

bro just when i think this thread finally dies 3 people reply in a minute

I think with mini it's possible to play good against KC, also on the Yinsu podcast boaster said they weren't expecting to play in playoffs so I think internally they don't have as much pressure. But even if they lose to KC I think they can win a NAVI or Heretics rematch

its ok, in goatser and derkgoat i believe

their classic is v clean tbf

lucky no CN skins yet

2023 sen fuming

I think (hope) DRX finally stop choking

EMEA fell off so hard, it was easily the best last year imo, idk why they changed arena, the pit was such a good idea and they did so much with the lighting and walkouts

like look at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v-aUQUZYRw

at that point was there anyway for fnatic to qual top seed? (including relying on other teams), if not possible this could be huge

im lowk scared of liquid they switched comps like 2 hours before their game today and looked insane (tbf it was against gm8)

If FNC don't make shanghai I will buy the bundle of every flair that replies
(it won't happen but if it does, someone remind me that I posted this)

bundles rn (no CN teams cuz the list is bigger than I thought and they aren't in the store):

PRX
FUT
LEV
100T
SEN
DFM
KC
TL
C9
BLD
EG
NAVI
NRG
TH
TLN
BBL
VIT
KOI
KRU
T1

edit: never doubted

emea plays off meta a lot more than other regions i think which makes it easier for 'better' teams to lose against 'worse' teams

2-1 (hopefully to fnc)

Keiko 7/10
Sayf 9/10
imo

believing since i made my account

enzo + mistic vs boaster + derke will be fun to watch, i think it will be an enjoyable match maybe competitive too if mini is still in berlin

prx - fentanyl

if FNC win are they first seed?
and would NAVI still have a chance to make playoffs? (I kinda wanna seem them in shanghai too)

100% saying this for weeks, its a good sign!

KRU
FUT
DRX
EDG

asuna's gonna do WHAT?

yπy?

I'd love this, but idk if it could actually happen since I think mini chose to step away cuz of personal reasons, so it might be rly tough to convince him back to his former position

i think its cuz there's a very large sample size of sen's gameplay, meaning teams which are weak but have good coaching can more easily outplay them, and so far sen haven't had a great counter

actually I take the last part about VIT back on second thought, but rn low A tier below KC is reasonable imo

I agree nAts is being wasted on liquid, but I think Derke should have a bit more time, probably until the end of the 2nd split to prove himself on a more disciplined role

if gm8 play more like they are now yeah, but from what we've seen so far imo they're mid C tier. VIT S tier is a crime, B tier even if you're coping

Honestly, (with the help of hindsight) this wasn't a great pickup for FNC, elmapuddy was on geng last year and they were NOT cooking, no disrespect to him as an individual, I just question why (at the time) such a high performing team would pick him up after his track record

I think coaching is an issue, the players just don't play off each other as they did last year, the calling and strats are fine but they're not meta defining as they were last year.
if changing that doesn't work maybe put derke in sentinel jail and lean into alfa duelist a bit more. I think a good indicator of this is the fact that now boaster is putting up more numbers, which may on paper be great, but I think it also shows that literally every other player is pulling less weight. What are your thoughts, does something else need to change?

too much controversy bye bye comment

Haven't played the older games but of the newer open world ones Odyssey is very very good, if you have a good pc and monitor it looks stunning as well, especially considering it's a 6 year old game

so next year is probably champs berlin number 554?

I may be biased but the EMEA stage and lighting look waaaaay cooler than the Americas and Pacific ones. its completely subjective but the playlist choice is also superior imo.
the crowd is mild though, but hopefully itll pick up for the more anticipated matches

those dark red ones which are sweet and almost crunchy clear
