BIG was their best, but that roster also had Twisten from Czech(was their star). BIG's most recent roster was Obnoks, Aslan, musashi, luckeRRR and then Twisten before disbanding.

Aslan, Obnoks and musashi are some of the best German Valorant pros and could put guy like al0rante there. They don't really have many star players especially duelists and luckeRRR seems to be one of the only slightly proven IGLs. They have decent more supportive players, but lack star talent.

Good from Riot. Fuck Jett mains and less cluster shit and more actual gunplay. Really good.

They were underperforming like in Masters 3 Berlin. They looked much worse until that point compared to how they looked regionally. That's why people don't give them credit for Champions because they only saw LAN Acend and never online Acend. Like they looked better than Gambit until Masters 3 seeding matches.

Elon Musk: Height and weight advantage (187cm vs 171cm)
Zuckerberg: more fit, 13 year younger, more agile(I assume)

so Zuckerberg takes this I believe, also I would imagine Zuckerberg going more tryhard on this because he has more to proof, is younger etc

You could make no EMEA included international superteam and they would still get owned by Fnatic

I wish more EMEA teams took risks with tier 2 talent. Even for IGLs there's guys like Enzo, roxie, YaBoiLewis(if he wants to IGL), UNFAKE, RobbieBK, falltw, br0die etc, and who knows how some of them could perform in tier 1 with better rosters and support. I dont think they would do much worse when some of the tier 1 teams have even forced non-IGL players to IGL for them.

Liquid looks so bad

If EMEA is 1 team region then other regions are 0 team regions

Who would you rank higher then? Derke's ability to play both Raze and Jett on top level already puts him above most duelists and he is already top tier on pretty much everything you want from duelist. I think its between him and Aspas.

yeah it was a grind but Saico was only faction server I ever played outside of some old school Redstone-something server and once I met people it was hard to switch

Yes. SaicoPvP Witch realm goated

No, EDG definitely have a chance at winning. But I think people are sleeping on Giants.

Fnatic vs Liquid is the real el classico

Its actually crazy. I've legit met more men of my age that use snus than men that don't(women smoke more to my experience). I have never tried, but people who use it usually report to get energy from it, but I don't really think its an advantage because as well every pro could start smoking to gain "advantage". I think its more about addicted people getting the stuff they are addicted to aka nicotine. But its crazy how some people here treat it as some miracle drug.

T1 didn't look good, but also FUT finally showed their true potential unlike in Tokyo.

Snus is pretty much just like smoking cigarets but small pack you put under lip. Has nicotine. Extremely common here and many use it in all sort of situations.

For sure. FUT looked shaky and unconfident in Tokyo. Now its looking much better and hopefully they can keep it up.

Quick top 4, 5th is hard because so many movies could take it:
Star Wars as a whole, best Episode 3, 4 and 5
Interstellar
Blade Runner 2049
Finding Nemo

I just have Samsung Galaxy Buds(og). Shape is good and they stay in my ear well. Just bit delay because I don't own Samsung phone.

Big Mac meal is the only thing I order from McDonalds. Everything else(very little) I've tried has been mid and I can't just bother with trying other stuff. I'm hungry and want to eat, I don't want to risk buying something that might be worse or small etc.

holy based

screm my favorite plauer

Vitality's season is over already

piti laittaa maiharit jalkaan

ALIVE has been good tier 2 duelist for long time

daydreaming

One of more promising tier 2 duelists for sure

SMB from EMEA 2021. They if anyone were onliners. They got 2nd in EMEA and bombed out in Berlin while looking really bad.

Twitter has been having a lot of problems past 24h. Yesterday couldn't load most of tweets/replies without refreshing 3 times.

Yep. I haven't usually been biggest believer of Mistic and Enzo, but both of them were on team that looked like one of the best in the world when it came to regional footage last year. And Mistic was really impactful last year.

Twitter is best platform if you want to follow esports (outside of Twitch/YouTube for games). Or pretty much anything else.

Only 17 as well. He has bright future and wouldn't be surprised seeing him in VCT soon.

Sh1n is decent but both Enzo and BeyAz are initiator players as well and they need IGL. If they could switch to controller then sh1n could fit in.

Scream, Nivera, Takas, Logan, Enzo/BeyAz or bring Kadavra(-logan) if they want to play Nivera on sentinel

Pretty indifferent for me. Some decent songs if you want to listen to rap, but nothing super memorable from quick listening. Most songs sound pretty similar, but maybe this just isn't my type of music nowadays.

beyAz future KCorp IGL?

I have never been huge on Mistic, but he was really impactful for Fnatic last year. He even performed well in Champions. Good to see him back on controller role as well.

They aren't Fnatic

I mean they have so much talent there and teams like Parla were going head to head vs NaVi in GLoot and were apparently doing really well in scrims.

Kind of hope that DA doesnt make it into VCT. Like Turkish has a lot of talent, but they seem to be lacking IGLs and coaches making them really inflexible, while English speaking teams can be way more flexible when signing players. Having 3 Turkish teams in VCT would be pretty bad.

I mean they originally lost the VK game, but after that went through Envy, Team Secret, Liquid and Gambit. So not super easy. Team Secret was one of the weakest in playoffs and Liquid didn't look as good in semis, so you could argue it was bit easier as some of the others. But I don't really see how any other team would have eliminated them outside of Liquid and Gambit.

They were a good team in 2021 and always had potential to win international trophies

I wish Heretics signed Unfake and MiniBoo. Would be interesting.

EMEA:
Acend 1-2 Digital Athletics
Apeks 2-0 Case Esports
DSYRE 2-1 CGN Esports
Team Falcons 2-1 Gentle Mates

I always had this problem but with LGG Saturn not as much. But like Endgame MPC450 type speed pad is goated for humidity but obviously complete different feel to most pads and fast af, can't use it personally

Unfake, kamyk, baddyG, Kamo/Filu, Molsi
