no pickems is the equivalent of getting every pickem wrong imo

i feel like everyone is forgetting bbl 3-1ed gx a month and a half before this match, or at least is completely discounting it

they were dominant in that series and i feel like thats a very big indicator of how its going to go

i get not having their full roster, but real ones saw the spark
i have very high hopes for them going forwards and tbh dont see what everyone else was hyping up abt gx

tomaszy and runner were both the weakest players on their respective teams last year (disregarding igls) and yet everyone was so high up on them

aspas 4-5 in entries vs 100t
asuna 14-4 in entries vs mibr

what if theyre just both shit now
what about that

bro snuck in apoth
second lowest rated player stage two (min 50 rounds bc klaus and paint barely played)

raze astra viper tejo fade
if tejo stays the way he is for long sentinels are gonna fall out of meta imo
if he gets significant nerfs
raze astra viper kj fade - el classico

no way!

it just sounded really cool in my head ok
point is that despite inconsistentcy here and there, the fact that derke is still in the #1 duelist discussion is sick given all those that he's been compared to in the past falling off/ retiring/ ending up on mibr

tenz is retired
cned is on break
yay is washed
aspas is never seeing another lan because of mibr
but derke
derke remains

only sayonara could make the unbeatable haven comp look mid

me (not really actually i only like molsi)

i just know im gonna watch my tejo put his ult down backwards and kill the team

sign them all to the academy roster and then promote them into the team after kickoff? if their goal is to build around primmie, getting a full thai roster is probably the best move they can make

hulk is sm fun just jumping around in the enemy backline

you hype up purp0 but i will never forgive him for his transgressions

i feel like even though astra and viper are both lurk, there is an important distinction that viper is wall smokes which allows her to solo maps like breeze and icebox which astra cannot effectively
even though she has global util she is more akin to harbour due to this, even if their playstyles aren't the same

i dont think its abt how clear it is the valorant lore is just really boring ibr
like its all centered around some way of making the fact that you can have the same character on two teams make sense lore wise
so now theyre trapped in this weird multiverse thing
its literally just overwatch but kinda dull and no cool robots except kayo

chances are like with league and arcane, they'll get proper screenwriters in that will retcon a lot of stuff
i agree though, the lore currently in val is just meh and thats the stuff we even know about, so much of it is like hidden in the range or in the backgrounds of cinematics that no-one notices

im not talking about other pros im talking about the fact that fns misses most of his shots to begin with so why does it matter he's got a 30% headshot rate

3 out of 10 shots is 30% at a certain point it matters whether you're hitting them to begin with

me if i was dumb and an idiot

no thanks

Leo Jannesson... Leo Jannesson if you can hear us... Leo Jannesson if you're out there...

maybe like go over the TS coach thing then 4 stack marvel rivals for an hour that would be good i think

surely sentinel? like i feel like a good sentinel setup into a site hit is crazy aura. everything planned for, playing off your util, hitting clean shots and locking down your site like its noones business

such an unbelievably goated album

thats sick bro enjoy 🙏

got the madvillany vinyl and a nice jacket so very happy
how about you?

merry christmas benjy i hope you've had a good day

"chamber wasn't even that broken, A tier at his peak"
did you start playing the game yesterday? were you born after 2022?

thats whats supposed to make it hard ig

click on players that you think have a link between them then submit. there are 4 connections of 4 players each leading to 16 total

https://connections.swellgarfo.com/game/-OEpce_KSt_LOl0YLltN
tried to make it quite hard
lmk if i got anything wrong

if one category was "players who have played in multiple regions" why did you include 6 players who fit this description
johnqt, ardiis, russ, n4rrate, wolfen, xeta all work here
i swear one of the rules of connections is there shouldn't be overlap between categories

smash melee, others don't even compare

i thought it was just people making fun of mada and going m00da like the pr0m00 or y0y thing

kingg x valyn 😋🤤

dont car

ardiis sits on tenz kills him instantly no contest

i think that derke should be up there for raze, he literally won an event playing raze only

i agree, i know skyes an initiator but I don't think that the goat of a character can have a negative all time kd on it

with the amount of spacetaking/ clearing util in val the op is acc kinda weak
if the op is broken here then it must be an instawin in cs, given they dont have drones, stuns, easy popflashes or any of the other bullshit in this game

eg 2-0 kru

you're so real for this 1243

really enjoyable but doesn't seem to have the depth or polish of overwatch but i have high hopes for it in the future

riot has a rule that says a gamechangers players can ignore import restrictions, in order to make it easier for them to join t1 leagues

saadhak
less
rossy (rumoured to apeks)
koalanoob
florescent
flyuh

saadhak is obvious #1
koalanoob felt unnecessary, there are def emea duelists out there that could do the job same if not better
flyuh is a really odd choice, especially given he's never seen the international stage. he can definitely go far with the right support but I don't have much confidence for him this season
the flor placement is given that we barely see her play against teams as strong as the rest of them but i 100% see a world where she dominates the league even if apeks don't

there are some very strong t2 players left, but a lot of the best ones esp from ascension have already been picked up, and none of them have the experience or crazy performances against such strong teams as rossy so i really wouldnt blame them

gramps was doing his best okay
