It seems between when you posted this and now you've moved around the IGLs (which is what I disagreed with the most) so I'll bump it up to 90%
A few things though: I think miniboo is at least B tier, marteen is A tier (I'm a believer in Yoru this year), and I'd probably drop GRUB and MrFalin down to high B

I fw like 80% of this
so yeah, cook

You mean the two show matches (maps, specifically) against KOI and two maps at RBHG in the neon meta?
yeah, I did.

only thing i'd probably change is Marteen to A

DFM and FUR both are in that boat for me

nah this is crazy

nobody in Paris??

Damn wish I was good at pickems

nice i've always wanted to go
how did you find it

Where did you go on vacation

I think this is the most underrated kickoff match
both teams have something to prove, and this match'll likely set the tone going in to the rest of the year (unless whoever loses goes on a crazy lower bracket run)

glad they're keeping Mary and Madv
this roster does seem really good

i want to throw up

boilin_cockroach is back!
(part 3)

im bad at replying to compliments
idk what to say without it coming off as having a big ego

probably not anymore (since the windup + window timer thing)
I'd say maybe cypher cam
you can get so much info on def + you can use the cam as a drone if you really need to

they're on THE team

lmfao so thats why everyone is discussing the n word

It'll come with time

the reasoning they gave was that they were exhausted due to how the calendar was laid out for teams which qualified to Tokyo
I believe other players from different were also complaining about it

But I agree, having a permaban is a sign of weakness, a team contending for 3 trophies shouldn't have one imo

It's now 2025 here!
Hoping all goes well for everyone in the year to come :)

I went to a private school from year 7-11 so we had a few people with American accents so it was kinda alright, although I was the only British national with one

Whenever I’m speaking to someone new they ask me if I’m American, but when I went to Canada on holiday people said I had a British accent, so I guess maybe it’s a relative thing

It’s just what I’ve heard tbh, not sure if it’s actually true
But it sorta makes sense, and yeah alcohol probably has something to do with it

Yeah idm
I was born in the UK
Lived in Pakistan for over like a year (spread over a span of 5ish years)
Moved to Oman for a year
Moved to South Africa for 3 years
Then Saudi Arabia for 3 years
Then back to the UK where I am now

I moved around a lot during my childhood since my dads company moved him around, but then I moved to the UK with my mum to make sure my studies don’t get interrupted

Also those 3 years in South Africa I went to an American school, so I developed an American accent which you can still hear when I speak (I was like 9 or 10 in ZA, and I’m now 19)

Give us 39 more minutes

Oh damn, isn’t new years meant to be one of the busiest times in healthcare?

Uhh idk what’s interesting about me… I’ve lived in 5 countries which is cool

The thing is most pros already don’t take ranked super serious, yeah they’re not ‘trolling’ as some would say, but they certainly don’t have any real drive to climb (when comparing to those who want to prove them selves to get picked up), there are plenty of players who farm in ranked but can’t make it as pro players, they require fundamentally different skill sets

Plus the examples you listed earlier were of players going from ranked straight to tier 1, which is just very rare. It should become even rarer now that Premier provides a direct path in to tier 2

Next year he’ll be saying:

“Were X team at Bangkok? Were X team at Toronto? Why wasn’t X player at Paris?”

I see what you mean, but I think it could work both ways. I could see it being possible for more potential talent to rise through and get recognised in ranked if less pros are on the leaderboards
Also pros would still be able to play ranked, but they’d probably play it more casually

Could be alright
I’d suggest; tier 1 + tier 2 official VCT/VCL contracted players only
No streamer mode and only allowed to register on their main acc (people will have to take accountability, they can’t hide behind an anonymous account)
Maybe limit it to 1 or 2 servers so queue times aren’t super long
Also you could create a whitelist allow some big trusted streamers to participate

Also prizes and actual incentives other than a cosmetic would be nice

nah bro last time I played geoguessr with vlr I got skill diffed so hard
mfs knew instantly

you knew the words bro
Ima take that #2 as first

lul

could berry my goat

perhaps berry even

I swear you’ve done this one before
You gotta fix up for 2025

10 different nationalities in a tier 1 match
(Assuming apeks 5th is Batujnax)

I think you need a space after the dots
And idk if you can count downwards

Survive uni
Try working part time
Gym more consistently
Continue to improve on my physical health (the pandemic + exams really took a toll, but I’ve set myself on the right path this year)
Maybe hit immo if I can find the time
Try to actually be the friend who initiates things (I’m a person who doesn’t really speak unless spoken to rn tbh)

All of these are goals, I’d be very happy if I can do just a few of them, all are probably impossible

HNY bro, if u ever need someone to listen (even though idk you that well) add me on disc @aayan

There’s no perfect way to combat them tbh
It’s just a side effect of any competitive game that you have to learn to live with unfortunately

Hiro>Seider imo

4 from that one map:
Chronicle getting the last second plant due to the bug
Alfas spray
Derkes 1v1 against Aspas
Derkes OP collat in OT

That could be cool, HLTV has something similar for FACEIT ranks, but really only people in high elos link their accounts

Benjyfishy better watch out

interesting, good pickup I think, he was nice on bleed last year

also where does this leave patrickWHO? will he come back after his visa issues are resolved or is this a proper change

fr I hope they do one again
