Give it a go

El Diablo got that Spongebob tongue action

You enjoy sweet treats only when it's now and then. I have a main craving for chocolate - especially dark. However, I try other flavours like lemon, pumpkin, shortbread, etc.

GAM is basically the GAMble team this season. Jokes aside, it's inevitable that GAM probably won't do much, aside from providing a new subregion with some opportunities where another subregion has not done amazingly. The Viet talent in APAC isn't too bad, but they are tactically behind, so a proper first-tier coach is necessary. Viet-Americans would also be great to at least bring them up to pace with other teams.

Jiggs getting Jiggy with it

Choosing to live in accommodation as a uni student, you need to come prepared.

They put the W in Winthrop. Honestly, big up to you

Most pros don't even bother with VLR. And if they do, they're rarely here to interact with fans to show some level of appreciation

That's an alright niche combo. A dive duelist with a judge is always a bit better. Plus, most Chamber players just rifle or save for operator.

Bucky has been made practically unplayable, whilst Stinger remains highly popular as an eco purchase and annoyingly effective. Shorty is okay since it's meant to be a sidearm that works best in close encounters. Judge is in a fine spot since it was ridiculously strong on some maps and now it's good enough as a niche buy for tactical variation.

Looked potentially even better than Xiesta. Xiesta in ascension was a little underwhelming, but he has time to cook. It's so cooked now that only 2 Korean teams are in Valorant, and one of them is going for a hybrid roster.

Alfa is more on the best KJ OAT. His craziest maps and plays were him on Killjoy.

nAts - easily the most influential player on the agent. Honourable mentions go to CHICHOO, Ivy, Less, Yetujey and JohnQT.

Honestly, it's a fair mistake since Customs should allow for unlimited possibilities, but then it could probably break Riot's system of working to play your favourite agents.

No, it's only the agents you have unlocked in that account that you play on.

Jensen Huang more like Jams his Wang

For China, it's about finding a way to make their league accessible and interesting to foreign markets. Not many people watch China just for V-God, Swagzor, or F4ngeer. T1 have insane money to try to make an all-star roster. French teams love imports. WBG have nothing to lose as a new partner team. EDG lost the plot getting Rossy. FUT are truly doing anything to remain relevant.

It's just making sure they have as many viewers tuning in to watch their games and buy their bundles.

Try doing it the opposite way round when acquiring imports from China or APAC; you get language barrier issues and a fair amount of homesickness.

Primmie is gonna save BONK and replace Waddles

Definitely not 210lbs muscular.

210lbs is crazy work

Vitality Demon1. Dawg x Demon duo

Definitely not a bad Omen player, but it just seemed like a very clear fanboy copycat in the way Reduxx suddenly added Omen to his agent pool when there were smoke players on his team already. Because of this, they ended up needing to get a second duelist who would play as a dive, which started as N4RRATE went to Victor briefly and then Jerrwin. If he was the committed dive, they could have invested in a dedicated smokes player and cook with a clean roster that isn't flexing too much.

Either way, hopefully Reduxx can find a roster. It would be sick if he rejoins Verno since those two were amazing together.

Cortezia on a Brazilian roster would be good. Reduxx was nice, but after his time at OXG, he kind of dipped off in hype especially since he was faffing around with trying to be TenZ playing Omen rather than committing to duelist.

Whichever region has a Playoff that qualifies teams to Kickoff. I imagine it will start in late November or early December this year.

I can see what you're saying, but the idea of a new rank would mean Radiant is saturated, and there needs to be a new division to filter quality. Of course, there are some Radiants who tickle the bottom end of Radiant and get their gun buddy because they were briefly there, but that's not as much of an issue. In Rocket League, Grand Champ was absolutely swarmed because the player base grew and the quality of players was shifting after years of existing. Thus, SSL was made. However, Valorant already has something that discriminates the Top 500 from the 10s of thousands of Immortals.

On a side note, I wish that they did include more player titles for quality players in Tier 1 or 2. I use Rocket League again because they give out titles (maybe too many) for players who have played in ESL or DreamHack. I think it would be good to include rare titles like that, which promote competitive pro play at an offline tournament, with titles that aren't just for the winners.

With how much the Rank #1 spot fluctuates, it's either gonna be kind of a moot rank reward, or it's gonna be cheesed by wintraders and queue-snipers who will ensure one person specifically gets the title if the stipulation is "Whoever is Rank #1 at the end of the Act?"

Stallions bottled. Another good team on paper, but it probably did not have great synergy. ExiT, Hawksinho, and Fighter sound like they should cook, but it didn't.

The Miks heal exploit was definitely the target of the nerf. I can understand that massive heals definitely should be valued more, but the idea of a 10s window for somebody to get an assist off your heal is to make your utility usage intentional rather than just passively doing it. The idea of the assist window is to make sure there is better coordination between players.

Perhaps if it is a major heal, they could include it because round survivability is also a key factor in KAST, and the big heal is the difference between surviving and dying.

Side note: never call yourself a "healer main" - that's not a class in this game. I get that Overwatch has supports and a lot of their main job is to heal and sustain their teammates, but this game does not cater for that way. You absolutely do NOT need heals on a composition when information is king in this game.

Honestly, NONP should be the playoff team out of the middle-east.

After the coaching staff announcement, Vitality finally have something interesting confirmed.

Caps was Baby Faker. If we get an EU Prime Faker, maybe let him into LoL.

Woah man, not cool

Honestly, a lot of Astra players don't know the real tech with her. She is such a good lurking pseudo-senti smokes player. The smoke recall is genuinely underused by a lot of players. Girls do tend to pick Astra if they think they cannot fry on Clove because they don't like playing aggro. It's a shame when teammates don't listen to criticism and then are shocked when they cannot get past a rank.

People see her as a "healer", and some of these players come from games like Overwatch, where healer support is a dedicated class. Noobs will always cry if there are "no healers" on the team, as if that is important. Noobs see heals as a very easy way to make an impact if they are shit. But most of the time, they die off, rip or wander off on their own and sometimes even forget to give heals in time.

Sage is just a low barrier-to-entry agent with a decent ceiling, but is overshadowed by the "easier" gameplay mechanics such as insta-walling at the start of a round on defence and pocket-healing the rest of the time.

When I see noobs play Cypher, most of them have never tried to understand where to place trips, what height to place trips and will sometimes even default to doing an X-trip with both trip wires through one choke. It's so goofy. They either don't place a flank trip on attack or if they do, it's pretty poorly placed so it can be jumped over or crouched under.

Not even Caps could save EU LoL. Just let your brother go pro in something silly like Roblox or Minecraft

Morocco deserved the AFCON final win. Algeria is just a poor man's France. FUT are named after a football game mode, but ironically suck at making an ultimate team.

Unfortunately, PRX is an SEA team (MY/SG/PH). Indonesia and Thailand are separate from SEA. F0rsaken and Something are staying, so 2 imports are used up there. The last 3 must be Singaporean, Malaysian or Filipino.

1. Erde
2. Marteen
3. Neon
4. Patmen
5. Dambi

That's fair. There are so many channels that I just can't really catch the vibe with. I may watch the odd clip here or there, but nothing extraordinary.

Cypher is not entirely a buff since his cam refresh got nerfed from 15s >> 20s. KJ will be a bit more picked. Vyse, I can't see much change since she does get some picks.

The issue is Deadlock and Veto are in hell right now. Give Veto some type of buff so he can be viable for pro play.

I'm 26. I grew up on so much YouTube content, though. Smosh in the 2000s, PewDiePie in the 2010s and the Sidemen. The Sidemen are the only channel I keep up with because they just keep producing interesting videos.

Feels annoying if it's slightly overgrown, but so relieving after a trim. My issue with facial hair is that I sleep on one side more than the other; one side is slightly thicker than the other.

This is the real Bottom 5 experiences, if not the worst of the worst. Hate taking a dump, and there's always that one crud of a dangleberry hanging on for dear life like Tarzan.

PewDiePie on Happy Wheels was so peak. I watched Joe Bartolozzi play it recently, and he was funny, but he also rage-quit and complained a lot about some of the common Happy Wheels levels, like bottle throws, sword throws, etc.

Respectfully, I stopped watching him after the T-Series beef since he was moving away from indie games mostly and doing more IRL content and vlogs. I grew up watching PewDiePie during his peak growth around the early 2010s, and he was another level then. I might see what his content holds, but I've pretty much curated my algorithm to be either true crime video essays, meme dump videos, food content, or fitness content.

I think he stopped the family vlogs to let his kid have a bit more of a normal upbringing.

Really and truly, China needs this bone thrown to them. They peaked in 2024 and haven't even sniffed a trophy since Wolves made a Cinderella run to finish 3rd. It's without a doubt that this additional import slot was made for them to have more flexible rosters. SEA definitely got screwed over - especially Indonesia and Thailand for some odd reason. Japan has a pretty underrated talent pool that just needs to be unlocked, like Korea. Korea is pretty much fine, given they had 4 orgs and a Japanese org which hosted a Korean roster. Teams like RRQ and FS have the capacity to reach internationals, but definitely should be included in the SEA mix since Thailand and Indonesia have similar talent pool depth as the Philippines.

It doesn't mean anything. Just a popular suffix in Brazil. -zin means little like dgzin is little dg

That's like saying change "Less" to "Menos". May as well use a Portuguese word
