yeah, I agree with you on all of that

What I'm just tryna say is what neilzinho said that they in particular stood out to them among all their scrim partners (I'm only saying this from memory but I think he said they scrimmed several CN + PAC tier 2 teams, and SPG were the one of the few that really stood out)

If people are really putting them over T1, GENG and PRX, then yeah I agree they're being overrated but otherwise I don't think so, they can realistically place anywhere from 4th - 8th imo

neilzinho is the coach for TH, not fnatic

neilzinho said it wasn't just one scrim, it was multiple over the course of Shanghai

I don't think they'll be better than T1, GENG or PRX, but I can see them beating the others if they're in good form

I know you're being ironic but there's actually a very very very very small possibility that it might be
since he said on stream that there's a tier one team that needs a sub, and they wanted him

bro the aura on the beat dropping with yay coming out

look at how hype it can be, even at the regional level

we had this amazing arena in EMEA for 1 year, but they downgraded to the Riot games arena because it's cheaper
The only thing I do really like is the new Champs walkouts, they're very good (not as good as the 2022 walkout, but still very good) What they did in 2024 with incorporating it in to the song was also really great, I hope they do that again
The only other new walkout I liked was Tokyo with the boxing style of walkout, but I'd still prefer the older style with the massive screens

I'VE ALSO BEEN SAYING THIS
PLEASE RIOT
2022 Walkouts were unmatched
it feels like they haven't really cared about it since franchising started
The international stages now are just some elevated makeshift metal platform, so the lighting they can do is very limited, I really hope they move to locations where they have screens on the floor and the walls so they can do sick walkouts

this too it's been pretty beneficial for every game that has one, it's what's keeping fortnite alive
it's also been very good in CS and minecraft
and it's the entire point of roblox

4 AM CEST is what I've heard people say

we should have a CS style Premier system in comp, it would make ranked so much more enjoyable

I just got this in my recommended, 8 months later

how did they go from this to 'super not trying'
I really loved the old optic team, and the NRG team from late 2024, but the more i look back on it the worse it feels 😭😭

yeah, asc is the highest you can place after a ranked reset iirc
(as an ascendant player I absolutely hate this (skill issue i guess))

yo i just looked up where that is and its like the location of the free office in gta online

i bought a property in egypt and what they do for you is they give you the property

oh yeah, really good point
surprised I haven't seen anyone else bring this up

Yeah fr
The best part is he’s not even tryna be funny he just is unintentionally

It took Ardiis like 4 days of consistent streaming to become a clip farmer 😭

I generally try to apply this mindset to everything I do (although I am not perfect)

My 2008 ford fiesta has always treated me right 🔥🔥

uhhhh

if it weren't for n1cf this might've been the worst rebrand of vlr history

Ok Cloudberry you can get off of H3ENnZ's account

Yeah I've heard this too

That's when the competitive queue ends, so I'd say probably the morning of the 9th for EU

you have to consider the sheer cost of flying, housing and feeding 32 teams (224 people minimum when you only consider a team of 5, a sub and a manager)
(even as a FNC fan, who would've been happy if they won more money, I think it's understandable)
Also the prizepool (unless its absolutely insane, like I'm talking millions for #1) isn't as big of a motivator.
Normally you have to pay taxes twice, divide it in half, then divide it in in 6 or 7 to get your cut

tbh nah i dont think so
it'll certainly hurt them, but it defo wont make for 0 sentinel comps

FNC
G2
T1
WOL (not sure tho)

I think they're cool

Assuming tejo is good in pro play Im predicting:

Tejo
Kayo
Raze/Jett
Cypher
Astra

Or (kinda out there)

Tejo
Viper
Brim
Yoru
Cypher

(I suck at spraying, also if I can kill an enemy without taking damage the full shield gives me an effective full buy)

Although I don't like the changes DRX has made (I just really liked their old players), they excel at talent development, they've proven themselves in that aspect time and time again.

me (not really actually i only like hype)

you won't often find glucose (or fructose and sucrose for that matter) in gum (at least here, and I wouldn't really expect it to change across the ocean), the sugars in gum are often artificially made, usually it's something like aspartame which is artificial and absorbs in to your blood faster

+ gum has all that other nasty artificial stuff, even if you do find some that uses natural sugars

they need to pull up in this https://i.imgur.com/GXjMrVQ.png

they got diff types of sugars

U been watching too much ardiis bro

eh gums got sugar
water is good though
id say maybe consider fruit

if u sleep you wont be hungry

let me get back to you on that (for my choice)

for the record I don't agree with that guy

bro... what is this rebrand 😭

https://i.imgur.com/tpmjBvd.png

idk if it's worth of being called drama tbh

if i had to guess they're developing on an older patch since there's no point in the hassle of updating it when it doesn't really change anything (for the replay system)
i know nothing about game development or coding so i could be super wrong

I'm only theory crafting here
but my prediction is, if he gets use, it'll be in a double hybrid initiator meta

so something like: Skye + Tejo, or even KAYO + Tejo
alternatively, this could make Yoru stronger for his flash element, It'd be possible to run say Fade/Sova + Tejo + Yoru

Yeah, I think there is definitely some merit it teams being good in a fresh, non defined meta, so I disagree with the people who call Masters 1 'mickey mouse'

12 teams would still be nice to have though

it applies here too, seeing the comments

I've already gone over this so I'll keep it brief
yeah, LOCK//IN isn't technically a masters event if you only look at the marketing
but single elim + being an invitational isn't enough to make it worth less than a masters

why must we always discredit each others achievements

I've just been watching YT today and I saw it pop up lol

i can never tell if you hate or love emea
