Then what would Jinggg play?

Mainly just teams being locked in for both Champs and the Ascension tournaments

I suddenly really really wanna see MITH vs. MIBR

Have you tried searching "aspas csgo"?

Then put f0rsakeN on Sova, d4v41 on Omen, mindfreak on Cypher

Stop hating on Trace. They've deserved to rep China at an international since mid 2023, and now that they've finally gotten there no one's giving them any respect for it.

Also NAVI don't deserve Champs.

KRU is very underrated but I'd say most underrated Champs team is easily TE

I don't know if I'll ever switch off LOUD. Maybe once EMEA Ascension rolls around

This is facts

That's really sweet

The only thing that's washed about him is his agent pool. Jett + Brim + Astra + Chamber is a really limited agent pool in the current meta. I don't know if he plays Omen at all but if he can get really good at him then he can fill a Cryo-esque role on a team with a Raze + flex like Asuna or N4RRATE

If he's going to uni next year, give him something he can remember you by. Maybe a keychain, or a custom printed shirt, or even something handmade. Can be something simple.

4/4

Depends on who you ask

If I'm 3rd then you're 2nd

10 or 20 is crazy. Falcons are GOATED. I'm guessing 1-2

Oh yeah true!

Idk if you count Americas as one region (you said NA vs. NA) but we've had OPTC vs. LOUD as a grand finals before

It's called competitive queue for a reason

Dude no please don't troll in competitive. Troll in unrated

Heretics has benjy but PRX has been arguably the most clouted org player-wise since franchising started

For player clout I'd drop TH and add PRX

Edit: nvm you added those two sentences at the top

No problem!

Super irrelevant but this entire thread is France, Britain, and Canada and I find that really cool

That's fair yeah

???

No I'm saying that it doesn't mean they're not broke

I'm talking about the other half of that message

If they fired a bunch of guys that means they had to pay for all their replacements

Are you serious

The Americas IL is in LA but the Ascension tournament is in Monterrey

You say that but the only obvious move as far as Evil Geniuses is concerned is filing for bankruptcy

He was given information, he shared that information with people, it turned out to be misinformation following an investigation from DRX's legal team, and now he's getting death threats

It's not about his two games, it's about his 7 consecutive episodes at the top of the Pacific ranked leaderboard

Well, yeah. Primmie has arguably the best mechanics in the world, depending on who you ask. But that's really an he has going for him at the moment.

I'd actually move Prancer one spot higher

He's also very funny to have, yeah

Thank you?

d00mbr0s is good for the EMEA segment because he's prepped against all the teams being talked about

Plat Chat is pretty much a podcast where they bring in professional VCT people (casters, analysts, people on the desk, etc.) to talk about the latest stuff in VALORANT. They have a segment for each region (expect CN because they can't find anyone who speaks English and watches every CN game), usually starting with Pacific and ending with Americas. Sometimes they'll bring in a guest speaker, who's usually someone else from the VCT desk crew (e.g. Dryad) or a coach/player from a tier 1 team (e.g. FNS, d00mbr0s). They are also very funny and enjoyable to watch.

Usuals on the show include: Sideshow, Bren, Wyatt, Mimi, Balla, TMV, Sliggy, Goldenboy, Achilios, Paperthin, and Will Chobra

If the refs weren't biased against CONCACAF Canada might've actually beaten Argentina (this is only half biased)

That was a terrible idea on your end

This is backward, man. Don't get yourself banned. Get the people sending you death threats banned.

That's not a reason to hate him.

The OP begins by saying "I hate would be journalists". That has nothing to do with ButterflyEffect23 as an individual, it's just a classification. To my knowledge no one told him not to make these updates, at least not publicly—in fact, the majority of the updates he made were highly upvoted and people were thanking him for updates. He might've blown things up to a crazy proportion, but definitely not intentionally—this is VLR; everything gets blown out of proportion. And the people making bets on the situation are just outright stupid and have nothing to do with him.

At the end of the day there's no reason to hate him. He didn't really do anything wrong, and if he did it wasn't in bad intention. And if you had that kind of information you'd probably share it too, but in a less professional and more biased way.

cauanzin for sure. He was their best oper in KICK//OFF and Stage 1, has performed very well for the majority of the year, does his job really nicely, and even had to IGL for a while in Stage 2 so Saadhak could focus on trying to play a role he's uncomfortable on. And even then he's one of the youngest players in VCT Americas—he's born in 2005, for crying out loud

Even if he was given fake information, all he was doing was giving people that information. If that information was so obviously fake, then there's no reason to take it seriously, and if that information isn't so obviously fake, then he did nothing wrong and it's an honest mistake. At the end of the day, no one was harmed or negatively impacted whatsoever, so what point is there in hating him for it?

What are you making fun of him for? Keeping us up to date or something?

He already technically has a contract with Liquid because they're partnered with Apeks or something (not sure of the details so take that with half a grain of salt)

Makes sense, just thought I'd ask for clarification
