babygoat does what babygoat wants

dont get me wrong i think direct duels dont mean that much. but not being able to come out ahead even once in direct matchups across almost 10 series is, at the very least, a pretty curious stat

demon1, not poppin. and its honestly ironic that even in such a dominant match demon1 still couldnt win in direct duels against aspas

tex got diffed by fucking k0zn0t on cypher bro

Aspas

nuke truth

loud is better than eg

cauanzin had a surprisingly good performance in the last few matches

v0rty is literally the worst duelist in americas. and im not even saying that because of the stats (even though hes also the worst statistically).

worth remembering that loud replaced him with v0rty

hi

you completely ignored the actual argument

first, brazil is gigantic. in some regions relationships like that are seen as relatively normal, while in others they’re viewed very negatively. trying to treat 220+ million people like they all share the exact same culture is ridiculous.

second, mexico is heavily influenced by american cultural standards through media and soft power. this obsession with “18 = absolute moral line” is mostly an anglo/internet-centered view. most of the world historically and legally does not treat 17 and 18 as some magical divide between “child” and “monster.”

that still doesn’t mean everyone has to approve of those relationships. but acting morally superior and calling an entire country “wild” over cultural differences is absurd.

thats literally false. if you wanna play the “science says so” game then science would probably push the age of consent closer to 21 since the brain keeps developing into the early 20s

how the fuck does relativizing a term as vile as pedophilia help morality?

if everything becomes pedophilia the term loses weight precisely in the genuinely horrific cases

look i did a quick search and apparently she’s above the age of consent in poland. you can still find it weird or morally questionable but acting like the guy is automatically a criminal or literally a pedophile is a huge exaggeration.

why are you guys blaming your best player?

hes basically demon1 without the baiter part

wait team liquid has chess players?

if we get aspas 25 again yeah

sato isnt 18 and i dont know if spikezin is 18 but neon is undeniably better than sayonara

some people did

from what i understand your main source is WebNovel right?

you do realize thats a metric that heavily favors SS. LOTM is a chinese novel and wasnt originally published on WebNovel so most of its readers arent even there.

meanwhile SS is a western novel thats published directly on WebNovel so of course its going to have higher numbers on that platform.

active readers only measure who is reading right now not overall popularity. of course an ongoing novel will have more active readers than one thats finished or banned.

its like comparing a weekly airing show to a completed one the one still releasing will naturally have more people following it.

and you still didnt answer my question. can you send the link where you got those numbers?

where did you get those numbers?

and even if SS is the most popular that doesnt prove much.

WebNovel (the platform SS is published on) is popular as hell and still a complete mess.

so yeah SS can be popular but that doesnt automatically make it better than other novels or invalidate my criticism.

your brazil list has a lot of role issues. who is playing neon? i dont think cortezia on smokes is a good choice. artzin flex performance isnt as good as his smokes.

my roster would be:

spikezin (best neon in americas)
artzin (smoke igl)
less (sentinel)
mwzera (initiator)
sillentz (flex)

that was a terrible game

in my opinion ss isnt even close to lotm in terms of quality.

the start of ss is good but later on some things started to really annoy me, to the point i dropped it around the antarctica arc (around chapter 1000). i wont go into details to avoid spoilers but i think lotm is much better

lukxo would fix half of g2 problems

im rooting for map 3

flair

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk esse "tô esperando ainda" 1 hora depois me quebrou

lmaoooo no way i didnt even see that. when did that happen?

in my opinion this was a pretty worrying game for g2. the only one who looked like he could shoot back in loud was lukxo, while everyone else especially virty played really poorly and it was still a close match. i’d say this was g2 worst game even though it was their only win

loud won a close 2-1 against envy

lev absolutely destroyed them

every day im more convinced lev acdmy wouldve stomped envy if they were in the ascension

in some other timeline we have valyn and trent on mibr, zekken on nrg, verno on sentinels and cortezia on g2

i’d pick aspas over neon/spike

fun fact the mibr roster couldve easily been this if aspas accepted trent over verno (which was valyn condition to join mibr) and if mibr contacted vitality before kru (less said kru was the only team that reached out to him)

less
trent
valyn
zekken
aspas

the ones who surprised me the most on kru were saadhak and mwzera. feels like were back in 2023

artzin?

i’ll repeat it, i didnt include the start of 2026 because its irrelevant to the debate so i used the “the year isn’t over yet” argument to leave it out. if alfajer had gotten a top 4 at masters i would include it

when did i do that? which period did he win just by farming c9 and furia?

when did i do that?

could you elaborate?

youre delusional bro get help

the amount of false equivalences youre using is insane. if alfajer had managed a top 4 at masters like less did in every start of year stretch he won, id consider adding 2026. as it stands its completely irrelevant to the debate

i literally used the same argument to give mid 2024 to alfajer

because the year isnt over and the start of 2026 is irrelevant to the debate. if alfajer had made a masters final i would consider giving it to him

#14

the main criteria for all of this was individual performance. saying alfajer had a better individual performance at champions 23 just because of rating shows you didnt watch the event and are only looking at vlr stats. he faced weaker teams, played half the rounds, and on top of that lost twice to less

im not even going to address your 2025 argument. you seem to have forgotten that vitality won kickoff and got top 4 at masters

saying alfajer was better overall depends entirely on your criteria. ive always seen him as way more inconsistent than less but some people will disagree and thats fine
