Nice of you ! Thanks !

You too <3

What would be the purrfect schedule for you ?

I get your point and it's feseable that the lower is made on Friday
But if the lower final have less view when it's on Saturday, wouldnt the view suffer even more if they are on Friday ? :/

But if grandfinal is on weekend and team cant prep, that mean the other BO5 will not be on weekend and people will not be able to see it no ?

Imagine not knowing that Kru will end seed 4 like everyyear

Also, I need to go more in depth and give some counterargument on some point :

Being able to ban 2 maps
I agree this is an advantage
Being able to pick map 1 and map 3 (which are crucial in a BO5)
Are we really sure this is an advantage ? Who does pick the side in game 5 ? I'm not really sure and I didnt find anything but isn't this

• Winner bracket team pick map 1 so looser pick side
• Looser bracket team pick map 2 so winner pick side
• Winner bracket team pick map 3 so looser pick side
• Looser bracket team pick map 4 so winner pick side
• Map 5 remain, and if we alternate does that mean that looser bracket pick side ? (Need to be check i'm not sure)
  Is that regard isn't looser bracket team that have the advantage to pick 3 side (Wish is a way more biggest advantage than picking map first since side is way more important)
  Having more time to prepare and anti-strats by watching the other teams in the Grand Finals getting through a BO5 in the Lower Finals.
  True, but we also need to keep in mind that the team that play more is way more ready than the team that just wait (First seed curse in 12 team bracket)

My first though was "Yeah we need to let the team that come from looser bracket pick map 1 and 3", and I still think it's a good idea, but i'm afraid it's hurt more than it help if that end by picking one less side

Still really good debate opening tho !

Lets look at the 2 solutions :

• Let the teams from the Lower Finals pick map 1 and map 3.
I do like this idea, but i’m not sure that change that mush. Do we really have data on « Face the snowball in map 1 and map 3 picked by the opponent » is really accurate ?

• Delay the schedule by 1 day so that the teams coming from the Lower Brackets can have more time.
Not possible sadfully, the 2 last game end on a weekend so anyone can watch it, it would be a waste to not plan a game on a saturday

I kinda like the fact we givea huge advantage to the team form winner bracket

Thanks DRXmain377

No but I can tell them to sign You

Hard to track the name of every cover T.T
"Flowering Night" the original

wat ?

I'm pretty sure in "musical history" when people will look at first half of our century and ask the question "Who is the best composer of first half of 21 century ?" the answer will be Zun without a doubt, you can't be at the top of music being covered for 30 years, with so many hit, meaning while music industry is corrupt, souless and artist stay alive for 5 years for the most lucky, and like 10-15 years for the cream of the cream

Touhou without a doubt. When you've got like... 5% of world cup's Osu music being Touhou every years, the debate is absolutely over.

Music is so popular you can find cover for at least 30 music in every musical style

Damn, my doctor also told me going to Saudia would kill me. I can relate !

We will see in the future, I think if he becomes less played then he will be better

I mostly agree, but I also think sentinels are the agent that are the most predictable and antistrat, meaning more long time an agent is meta more easy it is to counter them, and thats why Cypher struggle now, he was meta for too long

(PS : I think i've missclicled the one I wanted to answer :x)

On 20 nonmirror games, he won only 3 of them, so his p-value is significatly bad :c

Some stats about Toronto : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJjv8CwQlOc&feature=youtu.be

• Omen is over 80 %
• Viper and doble controller composition are back
• 3 sites maps are defense favor
• Fade and Sova dominance
• Composition without a flash are blossoming (40% pickrate
• No pick for Brim and Reyna
• Doble duelist, May be good
• Cypher Horrible, Breach bad
• Raze, Fade, Yoru, Vyze good
• Sage establish a new reccord 8 games, 8 wins

No Corrode ? Does that mean Chinese team have to play on 9 maps because Split 2 ? Hillarious

Doble controller will crush the meta, and it will be even more true after the release of the next agent that is gonna be a controller

They favor double controller meta even during Tejo ERA and that is the info about this master : double controller are back

KC is a huge dark horse the change of meta favor them

Isnt this a proof alien visited us ?

Holy EMEA ._.

More event = less average view

I'm talking about doble controller in general, Nerf Omen Smoke and you will probably have Viper that will go up without Omen going down

What kind of range nerf are we talking about ? Even moire less than Brim ?

"timed smoke recharge", if you do that then team will need more smoke to compensate the lack of smoke and we are gonna go even more on doble controller meta.

1 TP is enough, to refrech, some agent have no spell that come back after time or kill, and I see no reason why Omen would have 2

Paranoia is too strong I agree

Nerf recharge time of smoke, and then you need a 2nd smoker to fill the lack of smoke :X

Last time someone ask that question to my grandpa, that didn't end well for his family T.T

I want please whatever the number of page it is

yes but im lazy :v:

Gib argument my bro

yes

Seed 1 = Winner of split 1
Seed 2 = Point best team

Name one another smoker that can put 5 dome smoke in a 1min30 and still be allowed to use abilities

Omen being OP able to send 5 smokes and still having spell is the last thing that delay the inevitable 2 controller meta

One dash could be good but won't be enough. I hate the tropes of nerfing an agent, let's be real, beside omen and Viper every other smoker is between bad and trash and this is the problem :

• Omen : Up to 5 smokes in the round + 2 TP + 1 Flash
• Astra : If 5 smoke in the round, then no other spells
• Brim : 3 smokes in the round max + 1 molly + 1 stim
• Harbor : lol (I dont need to say why he is currently worst agent even if he receive no nerf since his release, he needs a massive rework)
• Clove : rofl (We need to target nerf soloQ and target up proplay anyway, but Riot don't want that because they want to preserve "identity of the agent")
  Last viable controller release was in 2021, of course he got no concurrences

The reason why Riot don't want to up controller is that they are afraid of double controller meta, but it's inevitable, let's see the options :

• Nerf controller by nerfing everything beside smoke : All dome controller will feel the same and only smoke will be relevant (+ infinite queue time since smoker are even more unappealing)
• Nerf controller by nerfing their smoke : Then you need more smoke to compensate, so doble smoke meta
• Up every other controller : Then controller are too strong and we go to doble controlelr meta
• Release another viable controller (New agent is in 2 week) : you might end up with Omen PLUS this new agent (The same way it did for Viper Harbor)

Smoke is way too important in atk and in defense, Riot is only delaying the inevitable double controller meta that will happen at smoke point in T1 (Even more since that's the more strategic comp, and for T1 this will be master, T2 might be safe by lack of time to prep). Tejo just bought them time, same for Clove and Harbor (release one good agent and it's over), same for Omen being OP and able to have 5 smokes in a round and abilities (Reduce to 3 or 4, and thats the GG, you will lack of smoke in the round and need another smoker)

I think it's a haircut

Do you use them? I had them off for months andsince I activated them im hitting my shots again

Of, because if you dont allow some comp in soloQ it would be logical o not allow them in VCT

Red is dead is the best movie ever

What about Astra comp that where also popular on 2nd pick ? Harbor and Omen played instead of a duelist on Icebox ?

Wouldn't be unfair that Viper would be the only agent put in 2 categories ?

Flex would probably be the higher queuetime anyway since you can pick anything, you are more free, even more queue time than duelist

How do you play 0-sentinel comp that are popular on a lot of maps ?

About your proposition, that would make queue time WAY too long even for the low asked roles (Since if you play smokes you may wait long before having your init and your sentinel), and let's be honest people would tag duel-flex and play duel everytime (Double duelist on every games), Breach and Kayo pickrate would instantely drop to 0 (Since you NEED a reveal in your team). Another problem of your proposition is that it would make a lot of meta comp unplayable since 0 sentinel composition are really popular on some maps. (Split for exemple)

I have some friend that think it could be sane for the game to consider to have a role queue with only 2 roles : 2 duelist, and 3 "Other", and I dont think that's that stupid, people like duelist, and even if proplay would go 2 duelist, it may reduce the amount of utility that people complain about, make the game more dynamic, more fun to watch, and since you can do everything with the 3 other player, the diversity is not that impacted.

My wet dream is the rework of Sentinel to make them more initiator-esque and go full 2-2-2 :

• Sentinel are not popular, and not fun to play against, people complain about the lack of skill of playing Tejo and just rely on util, but it's even more true with every trap sentinels in defense.
• By going 6 player and 3 roles, you reduce queue time (Especially since you have now in every team 2 duelist, and the pool of player to make a team are less divided)
• Since passive vision is dead, you need one people more to cover the lane the passive vision was previously covering
• They are hard to balance, either they are bad ( 2024 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrMksWF43n8 ), or they are too oppressive.

It. Do.

Every agent that doesnt have a refillable are trash RN x)

She need a refillable spell, you prefer dog or flash ?
