Mechanics
I think his util, teamplay and general game sense was pretty decent

NIP Kato 2014 sticker:

he's fake flagging

I lowkey feel really bad for him
he had big aspirations (The Lakia of Valorant thing is memed, but it showed he had ambition)
I think the problems that he had were super fixable too, so it really is a shame imo

I think an exception is warranted for faker
he's probably got a home crowd wherever he goes (unless he's playing at his opponents home country, but even then)

I think there's a few basic conditions for a good crowd
not in any order

1. A massive fanbase in the country
2. As many teams playing in the event from that country as possible (the deeper the run the better)
3. (Hot take maybe) A country where being super respectful isn't engrained in culture (take JP for example for where it's engrained, they weren't biased but they were a bit milder, and BR as a counter example (Not to say they can't be respectful, the word I'd use to describe them is 'passionate'))

For these reasons I think LOCK//IN was the best crowd so far, if you look at the FNC voice comms video for the event you can hear how loud the crowd got, even on stage. Sure there were drawbacks as the crowd was pretty disrespectful towards the end, but at least during the game it was entertaining asf

I think it is slightly subjective though, like some people may prefer a less biased crowd which is open to support more teams, it'd give us things like CN sort of accepting TH as a home team at Shanghai more often. I think either one is good but I prefer the first example with a biased crowd. Edit: pretty much what #3 said

I think a PH crowd will be generally good, they tick boxes 1 and 3 (Fanbase, Passion) but box 2 might be a bit less likely

(cope) even better some org runs it back with kiles zeek cned and starxo and they win ascension

The French teams are locking in for Champs Paris, I can't wait to see the super rich CN orgs pump cash in to VCT to see their team at Champs in China

I was about to comment but yeah this pretty much sums up what I think too
The academy team is what I'd be looking at the most for 2025

Fr, got CIS, TR, DACH/East (whichever Czech falls in), MENA and also fuck it throw LATAM in there
I want to see this team at every international event, especially at Champs

It took 2 years of franchising but we've now finally got a MENA player in tier 1 EMEA
lowkey want to switch allegiance to KC, they've got Saadhak and suygetsu too, and I've heard good things about Elite

kiles is still decent imo, I wish navi picked him up

regular season fine ill accept it since you already had an arena there
but they defo need to experiment with doing playoffs in other countries, so many cool cities in Europe and EU laws make it a shit ton easier I bet

i dont watch streamers outside of watch parties
but crashies is lowkey funny af

nah he never scratches me
even if he wanted to it wouldn't do anything, I regularly trim his nails and make sure he has places to scratch around the house

I think its called Arcane sisterhood or something similar

nvm misinformation, that's from the bundle
yeah I can't see it either

100%

my cat is very fluffy and he's a goofy goober
what more do you want

nah 🕶️

bump (its relevant again)

not rooting for them ≠ actively rooting against them

I would just prefer to support someone else. It's not going to be anywhere near the main reason, but annoying fans would certainly be a reason (this doesn't apply only to NRG, it's just that recently they've had the most of them)

I like every player on NRG and I want them to do well regionally

but yeah internationals is a different story because of some of their fans
very similar story for EG too, I like them and their team, especially now that they have yay

wow azzelastia not baiting
unexpected W

This is great, they should pair it with a budget weapon that has the power of the guardian in the form of a sheriff, maybe give it 2 more bullets than a sheriff though

Looking at the images online it's pretty cool, there's a ton of space for Riot to set up the stage too

So you're telling me Abyss is set on top of the Eiffel tower, and the void down below is...

Which venues do you think the Champs finals could be hosted in?
I wasn't planning on going but after watching Worlds I 100% want to see what being at an event's like (Unfortunately by the time I was interested in going tickets were easily 1k+)

Question for people who aren't from Paris: How do you get tickets? I've heard it's pretty much impossible to get them from the official website

yeah thats what I was thinking

anyone have that copypasta from his steam profile

W yay

Which subregion are they playing in?
(LATAM N or LATAM S?)

one of lifes joys is sleeping in on saturday after a long week
