victor as in his name, but also victor as in victory

may or may not be intentional but it does make it sound cooler

shrug

i like the double entendre in Victor but food is just so iconic; he's had it for years and it's still sad to see it gone

it's just too good of a name not to use :(

Absolute Jupiter -> ZETA DIVISION was an organizational rebrand, not a roster change

Per the Bren announcement, the circuit points will remain with the the roster of players if 3 of the 5 sign to the same org.

wtf

This one should be a given, but VLR.gg will be providing coverage of the Stage 3 Masters in Berlin, featuring a wide variety of interviews with pro players from all regions.

Have any questions for any players? Post them below! They might get asked to a pro... 👀

you fell off + ratio

nooooooooooo

first + ratio

Sorry, but Asia is logistically not possible for an international Valorant event at the moment. The timezone is horribly late for the Americas, and while more reasonable for Europe, it's still quite early for some countries.

If Valorant sees continued growth in Asia and gains a massive fanbase in mainland China, it's almost certain there will be an event in Asia in the next two years. But for now, the esport is too EU/NA-centric to risk bringing into the eastern hemisphere.

playoffs seeding is random, so we can't make pickems until after the group stage...

ayo?

oops

discord is really no different than having another browser open, so if you close your browser before you boot up the game, you should do the same for discord

idk how many resources the overlay takes but i usually disable it anyways but i find it useless

yeah, it's gonna be random... absolutely absurdist format

not the correct format, but good try!

this is a bit obscure, but both technoblade and VLR.gg are heritage in competitive TF2, so i think it's kinda fitting to see support for him here still

fuck cancer

GO YAYSTER!!

i recognize a lot of people want to see dicey back in the server but

man is 18 and on the 100T bench salary, whats not to love

discrete mathematics and calculus are pretty rad

actually that might encompass most of math

you guys are following the oceania tour, right?

https://www.vlr.gg/event/pickem/649/oceania-tour-championship

it's F4U policy for some reason

they're pretty punctual with the youtube uploads though

I won't go into numbers, but from our small batch of SEA content, they typically receive anywhere from 1/12 to 1/4 as many views as NA/EU content.

b+ idea
d- execution

i rate this bait 2/8

The first two lower bracket games will have to be postponed as well because they both include the losers of these two postponed matches.

serendipitous

Three teams from NA can qualify for Berlin.

The two teams in the Upper Final are locked in. If one of them loses their next two matches, they place 3rd at minimum, which still qualifies.

The third team going to Berlin will be whichever team from the lower bracket reaches the Lower Final, where they'll face the loser of 100T v SEN.

if you're thinking of the weird case where sentinels can force it into 4 teams from NA, you're thinking of Valorant Champions

CS:GO content has been on the decline for years, and the current state of the scene has made it only worse. Elige made a great thread and a great comment which provides some good insight from a pro player prospective.

There are multiple points you could make about the game's decline in content creation and ambition. The lack of major updates. The lack of Majors and strong esports storylines. The stagnant matchmaking system. The lack of a solid and fun casual gamemode. The decay of Rank S and FPL. Cushy contracts discouraging pro players from streaming and pushing content creation.

Esports is only one part of a game's ecosystem, and unfortunately Valve has chosen to be negligent and ride the wave of CS:GO's past dominance until the money dries up. The CS:GO ecosystem is stagnating, and in some cases withering away, and it'll bring down the scene with it when it does.

uh oh

it's been an open secret for a while now, it was first reported by upcomer in early july

i also want to note that KR VCT being on LAN is more a detriment to the scene than a benefit

NSG LCQ? Yes.
VCT LCQ? No.

1. riot don't "need" to
2. riot don't want to
3. vct na is not lcs

maybe

yes

big words for someone who's clearly wrong

ill take you up on this offer: recommend me a flavor and ill walk to the store rn and buy it and review it right here and expose your taste

ive worked on sports productions and seen people drink bang on the clock

ive worked with people on programming projects and seen people drink bang day and night

there are people in this world that swear by this shit, it's not uncommon

and the data shows it too; last year, bang saw 80.8% year-over-year growth and currently bang is the third largest energy drink brand in the US, behind monster and red bull

i dont understand you people that drink these no-calorie energy drinks with these absurdist flavors

seriously, look at these:

• radical skadattle
• birthday cake bash
• electric slush
• rainbow unicorn
• bombastic blueberry
• frosé rosé

i made two of those flavors up

so not only do you get the delicious "taste" of artificial sweeteners, but they're with these fever dream-inducing artificial flavors, a majority of which are basically sweets? even though it's a diet energy drink? and some are even coffee flavored??? and you people drink this willingly??????

just drink water
