Pretend you're not afraid, and soon enough you won't be. Sounds kinda dumb, but the "fake it til you make it" mentality has worked for me with these kinds of things

Honestly, a few months really don't matter when it comes to the best before dates on those kinds of things. There's a chance you didn't even notice until you looked (or wouldn't've noticed if you didn't look)

Idk I haven't played ranked in a week. Will get back to you 🙂

Np

I don't usually give resolution much thought, I'm not the type to change that so I think I'm on default which is 1920x1080 for me

For video settings I'm playing on all low, other than UI which is medium

Flair??

I personally think Singularity is better but it is subjective... depending on what you want in a Vandal, one might be more of what you'd want. Compare the two, see which one you'd rather, and go for it

They play against the winner of Apeks/Liquid next round bro don't count on it

You're not sorry

Off day against a good team. It happens

That's true but it kinda felt like they were trying to force set plays even when they weren't working. A lot of the maps they've lost were maps where the other team gets a streak going, so they go for an all-in set play, and if it gets shut down they just look deflated

Aight boys who's gonna tell him

No silly something is on PRX

Very good players, avez and Saadhak especially looked better individually that people expected which is a good surprise

Their ideas are great but they definitely need to work on execution. I know ENGH loves set plays but when you have arguably the best midround igl in the world, it's a shame when you don't take advantage of it

Overall very disappointed to see them going out 9-12th. Almost feels unfair either way, given both KC and GX look like top 5 teams in EMEA

Who is Techno brother

Weird way of saying "off day"

On one hand, yes we missed the Saadhak 3k
On the other hand, it was very funny watching westside get flashed into oblivion

You really just assumed

Am I wrong to think Dambi is better with the Bucky?

Respectfully, that is an abysmal take and I will never acknowledge any of your opinions in the future as a result

LMAO

One down, seven more to go

Tomorrow will decide the second and final CN representative (EDG vs. BLG)

Who do you think the 8 teams to attend will be?

LMAO

Source?

Very cool! I like the way they've done it

doma's definitely up there

I know it's VLR but generalizing an entire community based off a vocal minority is a tad unreasonable

Can't believe it's been a week since westside's clutch

FUT have already made it to Kickoff lmao

m8 vs "her" is crazy

He thought he was jinxing it

Both their aliases are their first name + bk (shortened version of their last name)

Oh that's neat

Wait where did the spelling come from then

Kx́ tq̀q̀h̀?

This is a competitive tactical shooter and respectfully, I don't think you quite understand that

(Imagine Leather jacket killjoy 🤤)

...

The fact that you immediately follow this up with "People that are against this are stupid" is CRAZY to me

Dude I remember Boo at the start of the year last year. Idk what happened later in the year but he was FRYING early on. Felt like he was dropping a 4k with green Primordium like twice a half

How do you pronounce your alias

I've seen enough, XLG win Champions Paris

Think of it this way... if they had beaten C9 but lost to G2, they'd be in the same situation. And I don't think any team in Americas is being G2 right now. So frankly the game against C9 didn't really matter

NRG look like a very good team, both on paper and from what we've seen in the offseason. I feel they'll make a run here

'//,

I don't know myself because I'm not really watching any of their games. From what I've been hearing, though, the issue's probably burnout—which I can understand somewhat, given they played four offseason tournaments in the two months leading up to Kickoff, but I feel there's more to it than that personally. Again, though, I shouldn't be a judge of this

He was the assistant coach, though, so I wouldn't count it as a qualification for Champs curse

Champs curse is that the team that wins dissolves, no? EDG kept the same 5 players and the same coach as well

Bro made two of these posts in 4 minutes

It also means your team can literally only have one smoke that round (at a time)

I'm also assuming I'm not getting any because I play Illinois. They'd probably be queuing San Francisco, no?
