When ESL start cracking down but you still wanna play Cypher

posted about 3 years ago

Steel is what a lot of top NA teams, besides maybe TSM and Sentinels, need — especially T1. Honestly thought he'd be going to T1, but i doubt he'd want to play with AZK and brax ever again.

matches have two teams each, so up to two cyphers per map

in case you're wondering, this is the split match where one team doesn't play cypher (gen.g): https://www.vlr.gg/2056?game=3011&tab=overview

Sentinels do get a minor advantage from the upper bracket, but it's not really much.

The advantage here is that the winners bracket team (Sentinels) will get to choose during the veto if they want to be Team A or Team B.

The assumption is that they will choose Team B, which will allow them to pick Map 2, which is also Map 5 in this bo5. So the advantage is that if the match goes the distance, they can guarantee that the deciding match is their pick.

what were you saying

economy stats for BBL are interesting

it looks like they essentially force bought every single round in the first half and never did a full save, except for the second round

It'll be a post-match game log. We have no way to tracking stats for live matches at the moment.

turns out Tenz and mitch will drop 80 and win 2-0

Valorant does not have a replay system, and spectator slots are limited to two per match.

So unfortunately, individual player perspectives are only available if they're streaming.

making maps is difficult so riot's publicly stated plan is to release six agents a year to keep new content rolling in while they work on existing maps and new maps

Every player on Falkol above 100 ADR and one player at 214 ADR o_o

While true that I doubt Skadoodle would be able to improve rapidly to the point of return by the turn of the next major event, hes still a very valuable player.

There's no reason T1 would just release him unless another organization buys him out.

obvs

mostly excited to see how aussie and japanese teams stack up, considering both scenes are pretty insular at the moment and are as exciting as the NA/EU scenes

the event broadcast was being done in-person from fortress melbourne's studio

valve has cracked down on orgs owning more than one team for the major circuit, which is why you don't see academy teams like Fnatic Academy and North Academy anymore

LoL doesn't have this issue due to the insular nature of franchised leagues, so it remains to be seen what Rito are going to do for Valorant

Honestly curious where ANDROID is going to go; he was a great player and would be a great pickup for almost any NA team

From Liquipedia:

Attack All Around did not turn up in time.
However, an estimated average rounds will be given to AAA through this formula:

Sum of all Grp.stage Victory round diff / total number of Grp.stage matches
then rounded up to conclude the avg. rounds
After the final Grp.A match, This match results will turn into a regular 13-X win

if you're asking why, idk maaaaan

edit: nvm they're playing a tiebreaker now because apparently the teams tied under this formula anyways uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Probably a lack of proper game-state integration and/or fancy production stuff to make it work. Quite a lot of the ignition series broadcasts are pretty ragtag considering the small budgets they have to work with.

when riot improves the spectating experience and possibly adds game-state integration, we should see it prop up more, especially as the larger organizers start to run events

Are you talking about on game broadcasts or on the site?

we're like 105% sure dignitas have already signed them

posted about 3 years ago

This is an Ignition Series event, which is a Riot series, so the event is sponsored by Riot. Riot also has some slight input on the event, and mandates the start and end dates.

posted about 3 years ago

I mean, it is their first event together...

They were essentially pulled from their teams and merged by FPX to create this superteam. I think they'll do really well in the next IS event now that they've got some experience down.

Due to scheduling restrictions imposed by Riot for the event, all the playoffs matches (besides the GF) have to be bo1 to make time

Idk why they didn't just do a GSL group stage instead of this weird round-robin to make more time for the playoffs

posted about 3 years ago

imo switching out a player on T1 with someone like nitr0 would significantly improve the team, but i think an internal change in attitude and better planning/coordination could achieve a similar effect without the burden of signing a new player
