france has a huge cultural influence in the US dating to the independence revolution i think

koy em 2025

man

i hope because gamefreak's biggest problem is not taking time on their games

2026 lev latam comeback is set up

idk why you find lotus boring. i understand some problems with the map but boring def isnt one of them. it has like four different gimmicks at once, strong comp variety and a lot of iconic moments. its one of my favorite maps tbh

one sneak

i dont think loud will release lukxo for now
other than that yep good choices
also there has some good players on their academy its worth checking out on vcb split 1 and giving some of them a shot maybe

I know but with franchising opportunity any player would prob just dip instantly (idk about him tho)

like my team personally would be

Palla/Sato - Shion - Askia - GuhRVN/Tuyz - Heat

Shaw as coach

i wouldn't change furia now but would wait for the first few matches of split 1 to see how they do with more time
if they're still dogshit i would only keep heat and make a team around him

you thinking of straight up leaving your girlfriend because she gave her instagram to an italian?

what are you studying

what are you doing today

men have to deal with furia

i'il give the example of loud:

22 core: the ones from 22 who remained for 23 (saadhak, less, aspas)
23 core: the ones from 23 who remained for 24 (saadhak, less, cauanzin, tuyz). it also subdivided into 22 core when pancada came back (saadhak, less, pancada)
24 core: the ones from 24 who remained for 25 (cauanzin, tuyz, pancada)

i was like "why the fuck is he saying that on stream" but it seems like an already resolved issue so all good

reading this in sideshows voice and giggling

thats because its, indeed, a kickoff. its the start of the season. most teams are still figuring out stuff. its almost an offseason event but it classifies to a major

theres a lot of weird stuff about loud post split1 americas that most people dont know about tbh

idk why this wasnt here yet

PaperRex are the fucking worst nightmare of the armchair analyst. They do not make sense as a team. They make confidence based decisions. They play the game exactly how the fucking MOBA crowd hates it. Listen, there’s a subsection of playerbase out there that thinks the game needs to be defined down to the fucking numbers. The analytics. “Pushing up my glasses. Oh this lineup from this particular angle. Oh this composition doesn’t work in theory because this particular position of util 🤓.” YOU’RE GONNA GET SHOT IN THE FACE! YOU’RE GONNA LOSE THE ROUND! IT’S A GUN GAME! IT’S AN FPS! IF YOU WANT THAT, IF YOU WANT THAT PLAY OVERWATCH! IF YOU WANT THAT, PLAY LEAGUE OF LEGENDS! PLAY A DIFFERENT FUCKING GAME! THIS IS VALORANT YOU MOTHERFUCKER! YOU GET SHOT, YOU DIE! YOU GET SHOT, YOU DIE! YOU GET SHOT, YOU LOSE THE ROUND, YOU LOSE THE GAME! IT’S AN FPS GAME!

i understand xenom and pancada, but if you think hes not better than khalil and lz you might be hallucinating

khalil is not better than him by any means idk where you guys got this idea from
he literally got diffed by tuyz in every single match they had
he has three goated matches every year but never keeps consistency
tuyz was the best controller in americas during kickoff and madrid last year and didn't keep the level because the team became dogshit and he got replaced by pancada (and pancada is pancada)

no because saadhak has crazy ideas that dont fit with the rest of the team anymore and sacy wouldn't be there to hold him back
the core aspas-pancada-less with cauanzin and one good enough igl can be goated tho

i mean yeah
tuyz didnt work in sentinel and isnt better than pancada so he needs to leave loud
but he could and should still be in franchising for another team as controller

no

xenom maybe
gobera isnt controller
pancada yes
khalil? cmon now

his sova is mediocre but his viper is goated tbh he should stick to playing flex/senti more

he did this like 5 times this offseason

tbh it looks better on game so all good i guess

GOAT?

loud x fnc lower semis champs 23 that match was nuts

his support is goated tho thats all that matters

bro frod said hes IGLING for mibr since the 2nd game what the fuck this kid is actually nuts

https://x.com/OfficialfRoD/status/1886497638926966819?t=1hVI84o5cQB7SMrBNFnV-g&s=19

nah he was doing great on controller before pancada came back just unlucky

palla himself was like "yeah cant really fight with that tbh"

once again he looks great on jett and bad on everything else but he was actually shooting and more decent with raze than the last time so prob 6/10

mibr 25
-palla +aspas (although palla was great)

was thinking prob triple initiator too it might work

i was thinking triple init too tbh

they bring back because its a very standard map most people like it its just saturated (and shouldve been away longer tbh)

I was thinking of her too for the sentinel spot, cypher also looking like not a very strong pick anymore

on the picture at least seems very lazy design but idk
will prob not buy it anyway

With Ascent coming back for masters/split 1, do we think there will be a definitive comp change on it? Meta completely changed since the last time it was live and it might be a complete different map when it comes back

Killjoy is getting a significant fall on pickrate and it might not be viable anymore with Tejo existing
But is Tejo good enough to bench Kayo even not having flashes? Or Sova, which is pretty much essential?
Did Omen nerf affected it at all? Did Astra buffs make her a stronger pick? Maybe we could even have both with no sentinel
Jett probably is still the main duelist pick, but Yoru might be slowly creeping up in her spot

he needs to get out of sentinel asap

he was just feeling the first tournament. he was already a beast back in T2 and singlehandlely almost carried a pretty mid team to Ascension

not best but hes on my top 3 definitely

already looking like a major player with a few games on T1

this looks ugly as hell what is riot doing with their design team

0/8

Lev cause they are the dumbest org ever and didn't stay true to their LATAM origins
C9 cause they are annoying as hell and never serious
FUT cause they're always overhyped and i find it funny when they lose
