ceNder is the IGL confirmed by Vitality's coach, not Destrian. Most likely option considering the rumors.
Liquid would have no reason to get rid of Keiko. He is like the biggest tier 2 duelist prospect in EMEA even if he didnt drop 30k on his first ever event with them...
I do agree that Benjyfishy hasn't shown enough to be playing in VCT but I highly doubt Heretics would get rid of him.

Sly 2 was only Sly game I ever played but never owned memory card for PS2 so I had to always start from beginning lol but fun game. Sadly never experienced og BF2 but people always talk highly about it.

Little Big Planet 2
mainly for nostalgia, but it was genuinely really fun as kid and had unlimited amount of levels because you could create own and share them. You could do so much. Play all sort of different levels from story focused to trying to survive bombs. Make own levels and create all sort of stuff from machines to music with great tools. Socialize with other people and do all sort of stuff. Etc.

really happy because I didn't really expect much

Kicks wouldn't get dropped. Destrian would if anyone.

yeah but I would much rather want to see Trexx on team like Vitality. IMO he is one of the most underrated players and I would want him to stay in EMEA. And for KOI I honestly think they could cook something with tier 2 talent.

please no

Keiko, people hard sleeping on this guy just because he didn't instantly perform super well on his first event

Can't do anything about it. That's like me claiming Finland isn't in Europe because I said so.

who?

Derke is literally top duelist and can play Jett and Raze. He has also shown that he can hard carry or play for team like currently with such talented roster. Demon1 has only been relevant for like 2 events.

I don't know about far better but
s0m > Marved
s0m was keeping last NRG roster and had such high impact. He was clearly their best.

There was rumors of Vitality wanting to replace Destrian with Trexx. Not sure from which source, but I've seen these comments and now this happens. Matches pretty well.

Yep. At least Leo and Sayf have gotten the recognition they always deserved. But IMO Trexx is still really underrated. Russ also got way too much hate because of his Guild days considering that he actually looked pretty good on TENSTAR before that and even now I think he will do fine in GE while people shit talk him. Yacine was kinda meh and I'm not huge fan of Barbar considering how Guild and especially KOI looked (maybe Koldamenta problem).

Dude what? Trexx is insane. He could have 0 comms and still be worth for spot. IMO one of the most underrated/overlooked players in VCT. Insane individual skills, can play different styles and can play literally anything. I think there isn't a team he couldn't fit in or would be clear downgrade, even Fnatic.

holy fuck if this is true Vitality going to go places

he is right
imagine thinking his take is bad, outside of maybe his claims of salary expectations

Pretty fun game. At first I didn't like it, but it got better after few games. Not sure how long it will last tho. I think they can add a lot of content in the future. I could never imagine caring about ranked or anything tho, really casual game for me.

Can't think of any really. I actually thinks its going pretty well for EMEA org wise considering that orgs like SK Gaming and even FC Barcelona are joining VCL while I can't really think of any noticiable leaving. Polaris still lacks orgs and Fokus leaving for DACH is not good. But rest look good IMO.

Yes. Usually its because full confidence so you don't think as much/care as much and that usually works.

ceNder

Overall Coca Cola just because it works everytime and with everything. Fanta and Sprite style soda only works when you feel like it. Coca Cola normal/zero or Pepsi Max are best "everyday" soda. I prefer energy drinks tho.

sick knifes for sure but what's the point when you cant throw them

literally no one outside of couple bait posts
(he has potential in the future, but no one thinks that right now)

I'm always so confused when people ask this type of questions about players that have had almost no hype, outside of maybe some bait post in past couple days.

But overall he was good in tier 2 and performed well in his first tournament with Vitality. But no one is calling him one of the best. He has potential to be that one day tho.

Biased, but Nordics. Obviously in terms of music, athletes, actors, movies, entertainment etc there are better countries, but overall the culture, way of living, values etc are some of the best IMO. Out of Nordics I would give the upper hand to Denmark or Sweden(some problems) followed by rest. Netherlands and Switzerland are up there as well. Like for example US is good at entertainment like music, movies, games etc but they also have a lot of stuff I don't like. Canada is pretty good, its bit like mixture of US and bit of Europe(mainly countries I mentioned).

Countries like Japan and South Korea are also good because they have a lot of own stuff and wouldn't have to be as reliant of other countries for entertainment etc, but they also have problems like some mentioned really high working hours, social pressure, and overall you need to work hard and success or you are seen as failure. Pretty hardcore culture.

I doubt, but my takes on them:
I think Destrian is the biggest problem currently. I think he is ok and nothing against him, but I don't really know his value on this team. If he was the IGL then it would make sense, but he isn't. If Vitality managed to replace him with someone who on paper was better Vitality would insantly jump up in my ratings. Like the rumors of VIT Trexx(don't know where this came from) would instantly sky rocket the potential of this team in my mind. Destrian might add into comms and stuff, but his mechanical impact is usually pretty low and he is the clear weak link especially if Kicks and runneR can keep performing.

Also ceNder's calling is unknown for now. Otherwise he is good IMO.

Rest of the roster looks good and promising.

ceNder's calling ability is pretty unknown for now, but he isn't shit in anyway. He has good mechanics and his impact on low buys is insane. I wouldn't be surprised if his impact with Sheriffs was the highest, guiy always wins them rounds with it. Also need to remember that he just role swapped from sentinel.

cned number 1

nice try yessirskii alt

True. Burger with chicken inside instead of beef is chicken burger. Same as burger with fish inside would be fish burger etc. But its one of those stupid overcomplicating things. Like how some people don't think chocolate is candy or don't think cheeto type chips are chips.

cender

leaf ofc

There would be many good teams, would be really stacked. There would be many good ones no one would even mention here.

Doesnt mean that will replace the need of proper IGL tho. Theres many players who are vocal as well and still need IGL. Like look at Fnatic guys like Derke and Leo(I've heard) seem really vocal, but they still need Boaster or at least have decided to keep him. Most top teams outside of like PRX have main IGL. IGLs often sacrifice individual playmaking and also work outside of the game. Its not easy role to take on on top level. That's why many IGLs get recycled in like every game.

Merry Christmas and don't drink too little

Result wise Chronicle for sure. But if you count Derke as Russian-Finnish then he could be up there.

He is flex and will replace wo0t until he turns 18. But overall I think he is good replacement. Been consistently good in tier 2 and flexible, but hes been bit under the radar.

n4rrate doesnt even play main duelist for the team

they are just using their normal accounts lol
but tbf understandable

Yeah but tbf its a event hosting showmatches. Not really comparable to proper tournament.

Not sure, but Frankfurt is kinda like the center of EU ranked. You can get anything from lowest of lows to highest of highs. Usually filled with people from all over the place including Turkey, Russia etc because decent pinmg. Compared to like London that has usually bit worse players and bit more chill on average because more Western Europeans like UK etc.

Maybe German. Its one of those languages that I'm not biggest fan of, but there's something about it at times

NRG should have kept s0m

how is this shit getting delayed by 2 hours based on vlr

I'm not fully sure, but not very common countries in esport(partly due to size). Most known Estonian esport player is Ropz from CS. And I'm pretty sure Estonia has the most level 10 FaceIt players per capita(highest rank there) and overall CS is big there. But I can't remember any Macedonian players.

They have played well so far. But its too early to say because theres so much of tier 2 talent getting their shot this year. And some haven't even played yet while some like Keiko, Kamo etc have only had couple games.

Anyone who has watched Keiko in tier 2 knows he is superstar in the making. Idiots basing their opinions after one tournament against decent tier 1 teams. He looked shaky.

yes
