I love CSGO and Valorant and I think they are both very fun and well made games

bro.

he's egoing way too much about this, and clearly not a good leader if he's focusing on ACS rather than his actual calls and team coordination.
also coping "we lost to the 2 teams who qualified" rather than taking any responsibility

bro got banished 🗿

glad you enjoy

I think it's difference in what art style you want. I respect your opinion and appreciate the Gantz agreement.

confirmed ego considering he just tweeted the ultimate cope of "congrats, we lost to both the teams who qualified" rather than taking any responsibility. man.

I can definitely tell you other manga art beats solo leveling, just that solo leveling has color so it "looks better" to a lot of people and is "better art."
off the top of my head mangas that have better art:
Dandadan
Berserk
Gachiakuta
Chainsaw Man
Ajin
Vagabond
Gantz

good recommendations ⬆

saying it's better than any manga besides opm is a stretch
agree that manhwa art is fantastic though (love Solo Leveling)

yeah that's why I thought ze1sh was IGL for LCQ as well. They immediately looked better. I think it's just an ego thing. Sucks, he might be the problem unfortunately. Maybe they need a stronger voice in the team as coach/manager to keep him to what he is good at. if m80 dissolves maybe happy?

are pacific comp servers way different than unranked? everyone I met on unranked in pacific was extremely nice

why not give it to ze1sh that's crazy to me. he was your coach he'd probably be a fine IGL. yikes.

I thought ze1sh picked up IGL after newzera left? and yes he needs to learn Jett for sure

Then it's enzo or they're stuck with zeish
still think -xms +kadavra would be an incredible move though

hey at least I recommend enzo to KC instead of KOI to replace koldamenta

bro is rolling it back to the old days 👴

put ze1sh back on coach and add enzo, if not possible just add HyP
remove xms and add kAdavra
keep rest

if you can get scream, nivera, enzo, kadavra and sh1n on the same team it should be free wins
you're also keeping the team's core 3

not wrong, I don't think KOI is his priority pick
to be fair I +1'd the below post but I mostly was thinking of enzo joining and starxo to smokes
I don't see any other IGL who could replace koldamenta

+1 and starxo smokes are actually really solid

enzo

oyasumi punpun great recommendation I forgot it somehow

I'm Central so I wouldn't know about how many there are on MM servers but from the people I know there aren't many. I am mostly friends with people in Eastern US though. Might be different on Western US servers.

15 series head to head vs kangkang:

whzy:
618-622 234 acs

kangkang:
826-565 300 acs

average ACS over career for whzy is like 285 on jett/raze

I think it's mental / edg being very good

CSGO is massive in China, if you include skin trading. It seems like a lot of chinese aren't interested in competitive but rather the marketplace and I've met some on surf servers and minigames. I just think they are enjoyers of everything but the competitive queue.

Psychological? The Summer Hikaru Died or A Story About Smoking at the Back of the Supermarket
Gyakusatsu Happiendo (Massacre Happy End) is good too, so is Fire Punch.

editing this to be a list of all the players:
https://www.vlr.gg/player/11971/katarina
https://www.vlr.gg/player/11958/hannah

and it's still true for those players that being constantly ridiculed and having insane expectations constantly pushed on them is wild. however, comparing Marved and Yay who are seasoned players and competitors to 3 of the players on this team who have little to no pro experience diving into a massive streamer's team in front of thousands is completely different. they might not know how much it will affect them or how bad it will potentially be.

Not at all, I think they should take any opportunity they can. I'm moreso saying that it sucks that they have to deal with the ridicule in the first place due to the viewers having extreme expectations.

I just checked all of the VLR pages for these players (I assumed they were streamers again, which is my fault) and they are actually good upcoming talent. That is my bad, I actually kinda like this roster now and Toast giving them a chance. Apologies.

Yeah unfortunately the players who don't play up to the standard the viewers set for them will most likely get shit on. Really sucks considering that I think Toast has great intentions of making rosters for fun and recognition for the scene, which in theory is a good idea. However the players getting ridiculed happened last time he made a roster and unfortunately could happen again. Hoping this time it changes though.

no real competitors besides katarina, another publicity roster
no real issue with that just that the expectations should be that it is for fun/publicity and recognition rather than to win

8 hours average almost on the dot
my recommendation is to figure out your wakeup time, let's say 8am
roll back 8 hours, so 12am is when you want to be asleep by
30 minutes before then you should be in bed attempting to sleep (11:30pm)
30 minutes before then you should stop screentime and if needed take a sleeping pill like melatonin (11pm)
hope this helps some insomniacs 👍 setting a good schedule and habits is very useful

你好中国！我到了！

thank you netero very cool

I think it's down the coaching/igl
cryo was being thrown into sites by himself entering and dying solo a lot of rounds until he eventually played a more passive role and let other players entry and started to go back to the playstyle he is best at. I feel like their defaults and site takes were really bad for a long time, but hopefully that changed (seems to have)

They have the pieces to make it work and were looking better at the tail end of the split. Cryo is looking to be back in great form and fardiis said they are looking very good (could be troll knowing fardiis). A bit of copium as well.

I think GE winning is extremely possible, I have them to make the final. I just think gen.g has the pieces to win and really should, but it's down to if they have improved or not.

I think whoever wins the sentinels/100T match will win the entire LCQ personally. I think c9 will fall off and none of the SA teams in the bracket are looking strong enough unless massive improvements were made.

Klaus 1.41 rating dominates tournament and axeddy subbed in every match drops a 1.38 for the strongest duo act out of any Riot affiliated event ever until DFM qualifies for next year's Champions and they all drop 1.25+ with 0 map losses

Who are taking the last Champions Slots and why? Discuss. Pick'ems appreciated.

2 EMEA
1 Americas
1 Pacific
1 China

My predictions:
Americas: South America will get ousted by NA teams and it will be down to whether C9 is still up to par, if Sentinels have improved or if 100T is in the form they're supposed to be in. I lean towards Sentinels or 100T pretty 50/50.
https://www.vlr.gg/event/pickem/1658/champions-tour-2023-americas-last-chance-qualifier
EMEA: Giants and Na'Vi are miles ahead of the competition, I don't think there is really a discussion about this.
https://www.vlr.gg/event/pickem/1659/champions-tour-2023-emea-last-chance-qualifier
Pacific: I think Gen.G will only get better with time, I think they will be the best team there and be on great form.
https://www.vlr.gg/event/pickem/1660/champions-tour-2023-pacific-last-chance-qualifier
China: I think Tyloo looked way better than FPX in the last series they played, I don't see that changing too quickly. Would still have them favored for the matchup even with the break giving time for antistratting.

we will see the goat SORRYMYBAD instead

I think m80 is disbanding and the players are joining separate teams, they all tweeted like it was the end of the roster (saying thanks for the year, thanking teammates for the journey).
