"calling it out"? You make it sound like I did something wrong xD

Denial/Coping

o7 TenZ it's been good.

KBG 2-0 ALG

Facts. But it's alright because Viva is the IGL now (and he's been doing good).

CN Ascension 2025 Group A: Xi Lai Gaming vs ZY Gaming

Matchup Summary: Having both suffered convincing losses to Rare Atom, it is time to decide who will move on to playoffs as the definite second strongest team in the group. In my eyes, XLG has a good chance of winning this series. Despite the massive deficit they suffered against RA, I feel like they did a lot of things right and that the things they need to touch up on aren't too many (I could be wrong I just feel that way). As for ZYG, I think that they definitely stand a chance at winning but I feel like they're less structured and play less like a team in comparison to ZYG. They've got some shooters though!

XLG PtW: Rarga has been a player who has been consistent in his ability to perform well.

ZYG PtW: Everyone shoots well on this team but I think F1cio, B1SK, and slowly stand out.

Prediction: XLG 2-1 win to make playoffs.

Thank you for taking your time to answer each (good) question thoughtfully. It's nice to read! Hope you have a good Radiant life!~

One of my favorite logos. Sleek yet iconic.

I do a bit of everything. I have lower-elo friends who like playing with me and I can't really refuse them

Good Aayan

That looks nothing like Knight

That's wild

What does this have to do with EDG and PRX?

That's what we said last year

He's so cooked

Like when the first humans were born there had to been only 2 right? Even if there was 4 we would still all be related.

Wrong! What are they teaching you in school?

I think you're going to be right about this one :D

Thank you RA for ruining my Group A pick'ems!

Perhaps that can explain part of it. I'm sure there's a lot to it but like #26 said, maybe look for ways to improve your sleep schedule and whatnot. Not having enough time to play val is unfortunate, and if that's the case maybe you could do something fun that's less time consuming (if possible). If you're doing something unproductive (ex. scrolling instagram), maybe try to get some extra sleep instead. As for the diet, giving it more time might be the best course of action.

I hope this helps, and hey, we're all human in the same boat of life. We should help each other out. I wish you joy and good health <3

Also, you're goated for asking for help. A lot of people don't do that and end up suffering. Us vlrians might not be too reliable but it's still good to ask :)

Have you been getting a good amount of sleep + hobby time? Do you eat well?

For sure but there have been way too many times where I guess a 2-1 between two teams close in level and it ends up being a 2-0. KBG should win either way...

Thank you CoCloudy. I'm still young but I would love to become a good father to a child some day. :)

Glad to hear that!

Yes Listenbourg isn't real I was trying to be "funny". As for Malta and Luxembourg, I would probably not pay it any mind if someone didn't know it, but I feel like Luxembourg is relevant enough for a good chunk of people to know (high GDP per capita, Benelux, etc).
Not that my opinions on what people should/shouldn't know matters though.

I guess it makes sense from a non-European standpoint but the only countries in Europe I'd be 100% okay with someone not knowing are Liechtenstein, Andorra, Listenbourg, and Moldova.

I play on a piece of leather (literally) on top of a laptop bag so I don't know if my observations are correct but my friend covers up his mousepad with a cloth every time he leaves his computer idk to prevent dust or smth.

3/5 players are from the CN region (TW players can declare CN status)

Kids cheering sound effect

I don't think it's right to fault someone for not knowing Kiribati. It's not like it's a particularly significant country in any means. I'd be quite appalled however if they didn't know say... Montenegro or Armenia or smth...

Depends on your humor.

It's an island nation in Oceania...
the geography geek in me is in pain

Maybe I should change my name to IonlywatchvctcnXD

Sponsors :D

That's more like it!

VCT Champs 2026 confirmed to be located in China

To each their own ig.

Come watch China

Definitely something environment related. Could get higher education if I want to become a teacher .

Yeah but they're just one of eight teams...
