Could play yoru only?

Most of tier 2 is better than tier 1, in all regions. "Experience" is criminally overrated at the moment, and that includes IGLs.

Edit: wait this sounds worse than I mean. Ignore this for the top 4 teams in each region, and we're talking the best 10-15 players in a t2 scene, not existing rosters. Still enough to make several tier 1 teams. They'll suck for 6th months until they shake the nerves out, but "experienced" players are not getting any better.

Not ban, please get him out of tier 1

Who?

Yes, but still not competent

Not 100T

I would drop

NRG

BBL
KC

T1
Talon

And add at least EDG to China.

I'd you want to include BBL/KC/Talon, you kinda need to include the midish americas teams: MIBR/KRU/EG. But with the word competent, I don't think any of them qualify.

That's the spike! What a blunder, what a whiff!

Bro what, I'm watching na T2 rn and it has replays

Alright, this gave me a chuckle

Brave new world is very weird and a bit creepy, which is a certain kind of good. Uber dystopia. Only boring part is that it kinda drags out the arc of one of the characters, you skip ahead a bit.

Also none ^

Specifically the 1v2 lineup at yellow, it should have been over right there.

Dude nice. Welp, sorry Dambi, you're super fun to watch, but... I mean, maybe Ivy?

... But apparently it was to the 2 best teams?

dQw4w 😒 the internet knows already, please try harder

Actually believable this time

How does a team get upset? They probably screwed something up, like a bad map veto, playing dumb against ecos, taking 1v1s in a 2v5, etc. Not always, sure, but probably most of the time.

This stuff has happened a lot less at the tournament so far. I think there wasn't a thrifty the whole first day. So it's not surprising there have been no real upsets.

All of this is a testament to how high quality/drilled/consistent all the teams are, especially considering these are the 2nd and 3rd place teams. Not the same thing as strong. Like T1 and Vitality are strong, but clearly not consistent.

Upsets often include a lot of bad valorant. Like, I guess when tarik is watching a team throw a 2v5, he's hyped by the clutch. But TMV and sliggy are mad at how bad the "good" team is playing. Much prefer this era.

(dammit my sarcasm never works blaaaahhh)

Hmm, 🤔 it's almost like teams improving means they're less likely to get caught off guard. Man, doesn't it just suck that this tournament has such insanely high quality teams? 😒

Naw naw cmon guys, you know this

I'm not sure you can hope for much better than nongshim (g2 doesn't count). I'll be surprised if we ever see an ascension team win any tier 1 tournament in their first year.

Sometimes I wonder if people are actually posting the exact same message or if it's just a bug with vlr.

I mean, it has to be said...

Please no, true stretch is an aesthetic abomination. And if all pros feel like they have to play it, viewers inevitably have to watch it sometimes. Keep it out, it does not need to be part of the game.

Butt is legs.

⁉️

I'm not gonna be a dick about it. As long as you know why it's sorta bad, it's whatever. Worlds not gonna end just cause of an esport tourney.

At a glance, this title was "ban women"

Was ready for some awful gc/ewc drama

Wait wait, so if I'm playing ascent tree Def, I can iPad place a wall origin in mid/market, then curve the wall to block b main, or even almost to boathouse? How do I see where my wall is showing up while curving, just minimap?

Actually that does sound kinda cool. Semi global util would be a massive harbor buff without being op or changing the agent completely.

Wait, are stars purely engagement and not up vote rate?

Multiple things are true at one:

• G2 are really good and fun to watch
• Trent is really good and plays tejo especially well
• tejo util bombardment and postplant is not fun to watch.
• tejo is OP and too easy to play and that's part of why Trent stats are absurd.

This is the meta right now, and that's fine. I'd prefer if Toronto kept current tejo stuff, then nerf after. OP metas are still fun for a while.

Lol I should just put bait instead of a real title, then people would actually look at these

So, Sova can still get 3 darts in a round, but only if he buys them all. The cool down doesn't change. First charge is always free.

Would require general rebalancing, but the goal is for players to regularly have less util (or a worse gun) because they couldn't afford it.

Swift play only, maybe once a month. Ive never played ranked seriously. Just enough to enjoy both swiftplay and the sport.

"a" goat, yes, but not THE goat coach

True genius, we know not the wonders from which these ideas flow

It's not bad but I missed week 5. I missed pacific kickoff entirely (tho my pacific Pickem was terrible so Im not sharing it lol.)

I keep missing the time to make Pickems for like one week and it ruins the whole thing. Does vlr have a notification system for it? (I'm guessing not). Does someone know a discord server that pings reliably?

Agree. On principle, top leadership is always responsible for all failures. But in this case, there's plenty of "top leaders" within emea that ought to be responsible.

we're still tech paused? same issue for weeks of league play? yea, signed, feels bad man. someone's not doing their job.
