take off that flair you fucking fraud

staining the xset name

if you were a true xset fan you would remember prime aspas in 2022 and have some fucking respect for the goat at his peak

you're a disgrace.

aspas in 2023 hard carried LOUD on Jett with Less, as tuyz was pro inter at the beginning of the year and cauanzin was a newbie, derke had literal superteam setting him up all the time and teammates that would often just win rounds on their own

regardless of how good derke is, making the argument that he made more of an impact in his prime than the guy who LITERALLY HARD CARRIED loud to a Champions Trophy, a Lockin Finals, AND a Champs 23 3rd place is INSANE. Fnatic as a team is too good for Derke to show his true potential in impact because every round his teammates are too perfect in his prime for him to have to do too much

oh ok ty
he looks quite good, hopefully gets picked up and shows off in emea

i dont rly follow emea at all but anytime i hear about t2 emea duelists sayonara's name always comes up
is this guy a regional matchup merchant, or is he really good but just having a horrible series?

Amer: NA + LATAM
emea: Sayf, nats, heretics, navi, yetujey
apac: geng, prx, drx, zeta, t1, ge, yay, governor/primmie/crws
china: fpx

valid asf

my only wish from this group stage is that no matter who gets out of group B from geng heretics and sen that 2 of them end up in the finals together

either heretics get the title they almost had, t3xture and geng become the greatest of all time unquestionably, or Sen bring back another champs trophy to NA and we get the double champs from Sacy

Is this real?

Every time events are in europe its always goated maybe just reside there tbh

Madrid, istanbul, copenhagen, rejkyavic (however you spell) both times were all goated events so tbh lets just stay in eu

Yeah and fkin whzy made it to champs over sheydos and nats so by your logic they should both be dropped

Vlr users and dumbass takes are just perfect for each other

Champs is good for having a group draw every year, means fraud teams like 2023 liquid or 2024 edg cant skip the group stage because they did good in 1 series and its fair for everyone

Im going to sacrifice my sleep for zellsis to lose 0-2 0-2 but its fine

If i can sack my sleep schedule for league and val i can sack it for sentinels

Guys what if instead of whining about the timezone

You just deal with it

This can be the first step to healing from the cheetos and mountain dew, all we have to do is take the first step

And by first step i mean wake up at 4 am and go on a 5 hour long walk and just watch vct the entire time, or go on a walk until your local gym opens, then treadmill and watch vct the entire time

You can make a change in your life while also feeding your addiction! Riot is so kind they are giving us such a lovely opportunity now everyone say thank you richard riot!

I mean

After watching that interview i respect tf out of chronicle now, bro just says what he thinks no bs

He's just saying what we all know to be true, theres a reason d3ffo wasn't an immediate pickup by any franchised team like sheydos, chron, nats, and redgar were.

every year people whine about no fun teams at champs

and every year people after champs ends people are like oh wait that was goated

tbf this is the champions 2022 effect where that playoffs and group stage was so stacked that it cannot be matched in skill level, but still

HOLY SHIT I SWEAR TO GOD THE BUBBLE APPEARD BEFORE HE STARTED DEFUSING

nt oxygen nt verno but TSM DEFYING THE ODDS AND 2 MAPS AWAY FROM ASCENSION NOW

Thoorin interviews never miss and are always v interesting

Would highly suggest watching his video with Ethan as well, but that's a lot more cs heavy

scream and liquid made champs 22 and did pretty good bro

⠀

bro said indians come then said

"none of them are Hindi"

my brother in christ hindi is a language

771/800

almost there

average n0x0s n0m0d take

Whats the context here

0.5fkpr is legitimately insane

Cannot beat that

stuck with enz0 m0st0c and j0mpi

2022 tenz type beat

cloud initiator and maybe a Zander import for smokes

acting like nats is not one of the greatest sentis to touch this game in 2024

0/8

yeah this checks out actually
explains the constant whining of n0x0sn0m0d

alfa is NOT behind suy even tho suy is goated

benjy and meteor there are a bit early

maybe Rb or forsaken should be there, but obviously they're more of flexes than true sentis

this isnt a question what

kendrick is the goat regardless of wayne's impact on hip hop kendrick is top 5 peak no argument and you wouldn't say the same for wayne

gkmc

idc choose any song off that album other than poetic justice

I ate a bag of baby carrots when i was 6 in one sitting

And carrots are yummy

So carrot sticks but it was taken on minecraft so c4rrotstix

someone said sheydos already so

x0ppa doesnt deserve a tier 1 spot just have c9 throw away their roster n replace it with m80 n swap out koalanoob if u want cuz oxy moment

idk if Yay counts as rising in 2022

he was proven to be insane at Berlin and domestically, and the Covid thing with X10 was a strong cope reason for why the team didn't perform at Champs

The name El Diablo comes from before Chamber for a reason

If you think that going from a top duelist in NA to objectively the best player in the world is rising then fair play, but when I think of rising star I think of the Demon1s, Aspas', Woots, n Karons of the world where they came from basically nowhere and shot up to god level status almost instantly

I was told by my one friend who watches baseball that actually watching it is boring asf but the stats n numbers part is cool

Which valid but just watch the nfl at that point

760/800 we got this guys

Lock in

Sinatraa is too rich to care (OWL + streamer money) and unless he pursues the game hard no one is going to want to sign him in franchising with all the talent in the pool so he's gonna forever be a question mark unless something drastic changes

please search for local therapists in your area

APAC stands for Asia Pacific, how is China not a part of that? Although they also might be going off of VCT league which might make sense aswell

Do you know any venues specifically that would host? I know people constantly put cities as suggestions but I don't often see any venues offered up

Might be a VLR thing, unless there's visa problems??? (How tf are there visa problems your org's been playing in this country for months)

I'm just going to use 2022 n forward as a metric, as covid made 2021 very weird for locations

22 Masters 1 was in Europe
22 Masters 2 was in Europe
22 Champs was in Europe

(Riot decides to make up for this it looks like)

23 Masters 1 (lockin) was in Americas
23 Masters 2 was in APAC
23 Champs was in Americas

(Riot realizes APAC hasn't gotten much)

24 Masters 1 was in Europe
24 Masters 2 was in APAC
24 Champs was in APAC

Likely Riot is going to have next year be a full europe year, with a masters in Americas, as the trend seems to be that every year one of the 3 regions gets left out, but they get reintroduced next year, and get a full double year the one after that

I am not a big Europe knower, but Katowice has been pretty good for CS events (i've heard), and that Istanbul arena and production went SO HARD, so they might go back

For America, we got an LA champs, and Brazil got Lockin, and now Mexico is getting Ascension, so I'm thinking maybe an East Coast Masters?

If they don't want to do the obvious NYC thing and put it where the US Open (tennis) is and where the first Fortnite world cup was, another idea might be Boston. There was a CS lan hosted in that ice hockey arena, and might be able to book TD garden for the top 4 venue

Otherwise I would think LATAM would get an event, and again I am not a knower so lmk any good Latam locations

What do u think/what cities do you think would be best for hosting events?

Allat

roy mustang

ong whats up with this alt using like show your face on main coward

What are you talking about DK just lost to VIPERRRR

I think the main reason why NA people are complaining so much is because recency bias makes it feel like we haven't had an event since 2023 (Shanghai was horrible, Korea will also be horrible for NA)

I live on the East Coast so timezone is kinda fkd but I'm just going to watch VODs anyways + it's summer break so I don't have a large issue with it, but I can still understand why some people who don't have as much free time as me have a problem with it for the past 2 events

21's more popular but objectively denzel has put out better quality music and better bars than 21

I don't even listen to denzel that much but I respect him as an artist greatly

no you don't want that

no one wants that horrible no good 2023 meta back

never again please the stall made me tear my eyes out

am i wholesome

who would you replace for chamber?

in a meta where double senti is becoming popular w deadlock cypher, and double initiator is king with an entry duelist, chamber just doesn't provide enough info to warrant usage

if you end up running chamber, you lose cypher/kj, and essentially TONS of info, which isn't feasible when you basically need double initator or double smokes or both sometimes

The reason chamber worked on Bind in 2023 was because Skye was so broken that she ended up filling the info role of 2 initiators in one, leaving an open slot for teams to fill, which is why demon1 could flex (because they had enough info from the solo skye)

sliggy, sean, bren when he's not trolling, mimi, balla when not eu glazing, and sideshow are pretty good

Tmv opinions make me ...
