Vitality and Giants

people are sleeping on these squads. Vitality makes sense because more unknown players, but people still put no respect on Molsi's or Twisten's name and even ceNder was/is really overlooked when talking about tier 2 talent.

and its crazy to me that people don't talk about Giants much at all while having players like nukkye, Cloud and hoody. That trio is really good and even proven on paper and add Fit1nho and Rhyme who have a lot of potential and this roster is really good on paper IMO. Cloud is one of the most slept on players in EMEA.

This or more that I just get bored of every game. Apex only good game atm but even it has its problems.

Polar Express maybe

VS and not even close.I think Heretics would have had 2nd best chances maybe.

d00mbr0s. FPX were known as anti-strat gods and he definitely was big reason for that.

You pay taxes for being part of church. Its like 1-2% I don't really know because I left before I paid anything. Based on calculation if you make 28k a year(default number) you pay total of 360€ to church in year. It isn't that much for working person, but I'm not going to pay anything because I don't use church services.

Yeah its bit weird. Like I would have had no problem staying in church's books because it doesn't affect your life at all and good amount of people here don't actually believe in anything even if they haven't left church yet. But having to pay church taxes just made me leave. It isn't much but still.

Atheist, born to protestant church(?) like majority of people here, but official left church the moment I turned 18. Parents aren't religious either. Didn't want to pay church tax and no other reason to stay in church either. I have never believed in it.

I mean i didnt read every tweet and working with what translator says. And there's definitely a lot of racism in there, but some of the tweets just seemed to mention that he is black but not in racist way so I figured out that maybe its more common there to mention skin color looking at videos and shows etc. But yes I believe that there's a lot of racism there as well and its sad.

I don't know because I don't live there, but isn't it more common for some South American countries to call people by their skin color? Words like gringo seem to be really common when talking about white people and even in Narcos(i know just series about 90's lol) there's black guy whose nickname comes from his skin color. So maybe calling people by their skin color is just more common there and that seems to be the case because no one here says "hey white" or "hey black" while is seems to be common in SA with words like gringo. But I could be wrong and obviously some of them have racist intentions.

also like guy above said this ne... word means black color in Spanish

Rum chocolate >

Fazer easily

yes that is true, but I meant that in like 10 years or even less people are likely calling him goat just like Messi Ronaldo debate currently if everything goes well. Not saying that he will be the goat, but people will def debate about it and many kids will be seeing him as "the goat" esp when Messi etc are out of picture. Ofc its too early to say.

ofc no question about it, or maybe wont overtake Messi but will be goat of future gen

3 goals + penalties goal crazy performance from him

GRATS ARGENTINA! CRAZY FUCKING GAME

this game is fucking crazy 3-3 + penalties final

OMFG

LETS FUCKIGN GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

NOOO

OWWC being back is really nice, but sadly most teams will suck ass. Overwatch was dead for so long that many pro players and especially tier 2 have already retired so a lot of these teams have to look for players outside of even tier 2 to fill up their rosters. Only teams like Korea, USA and China can pretty much make good rosters with UK, maybe France, Saudi Arabia etc having ok teams. For example at peak Finland used to have what like 10 pro players in OWL, but nowadays we have 0. Unlucky really. Its just so dead in many places and OWL like always is just filled with Korean pros and even Americans nowadays because the tier 2 scene there is bit healthier and they get signed to tier 1 because no VISA/relocation issues. Compared to EU where tier 2 is so shit like in many other regions. Still going to be interesting to see, but it won't be as good or competitive as it was in the past.

holy

fuck barbie we are here for ken

Yes unfortunately there are like 4 teams that likely will be pretty shit, but I still think they will be competitive enough to push the level of play forward. Heretic's problem is that they have really inconsistent players, but if they got more consistent they would be decent.

I just think that historically the top of EMEA has just been consistent enough to stay on top while rest of the teams weren't bad but just couldn't overtake them. While for example in NA every team outside of OpTic (later maybe stage 1 The Guard, XSET and 100T towards LCQ) were beating each other all the time due to long preparation times and lack of consistency. It made NA look more competitive in eyes of many because "oh NRG look good", but next week "oh 100T look insane because they beat NRG who looked good last week" while in reality it just showed inconsistencies within the teams instead of all of them being insane if you know what I mean.

Like I truly think "weaker "EMEA teams like NaVi, G2 even OGLU, BBL etc could have been competitive in NA especially outside like OpTic and The Guard, XSET at times and 100T during LCQ. But people don't give credit because the top of EMEA placements didn't change as much and the same teams were consistently placing top 3.

Americas will likely have the tightest competition within the region like they have always had due to teams being so inconsistent regionally, but I think EMEA will produce more international LAN contender ready teams. But for example NA teams are made from ex-more consistent NA team players so maybe they won't be as inconsistent.

EMEA, so far EMEA has been the strongest and more competitive region more consistently.

I think people have started to forget this due to Champions. Before that NA was pretty much 1 team region with OpTic carrying them and the gap between them and rest of NA was noticable especially on international tournaments. Also we don't know how these teams are going to perform next year. You can stack good players together but that doesn't mean anything if they can't make the team work. This goes for teams like Sentinels and C9 especially. Also LOUD split and even though I think they are still going to be good they won't be same as the Champions LOUD. Leviatan is already good and will likely get better, but I think its still hard to predict that can they keep up. Outside of 100T, NRG, SEN, C9, LOUD and LEV I don't see other American teams worth mentioning. But who knows.

Pacific was just DRX, PRX and Zeta pretty much. Rest of the teams were always pretty mediocre and even though they have some potentially good teams I doubt they will reach same heights as these for some time at least. Maybe Talon, GenG, T1 can do something but doubt they will do that well.

While EMEA has the big 3 teams aka NaVi, Fnatic and TL that in my opinion are some of the best teams on paper and these teams or players have shown that they can be some of the best. Ofc same as with NA teams we don't know will they work as team, but historically EMEA teams have performed better and there isn't as many inconsistencies as NA. And then you have KOI, VIT and GIA with some good players and potential. And overall I'm just basing this on previous events. EMEA teams let it be Liquid during Iceland 22, Guild during Copenhagen, G2 during Berlin 21, Fnatic during Champions 21 always do well despite people underrating them and expecting worse levels. The competition in EMEA has always just been so high that even the slightly weaker ones would have been decently competitive in international tourneys or in other regions.

Just my opinion and it isnt based on straight facts but more like prediction and historic evidence. Also based on cultural differences and history in other esports. Americas is likely more stacked on paper for now, but I still think EMEA will produce higher levels on more consistent sense. EMEA = Americas > Pacific.

Yeah it was good, just wish they would add more depth to humans and their motivations because right now the humans are just pure evil. It kinda makes sense because its from Na'vi's POV, but wish they showed more of why Earth is dying and why these humans are like how they are, because in a way they do bad stuff to guarantee future for humans. Also there were couple of scenes and characters with their decision making that had some problems with them or were just odd. Also in one scene pretty much 90% of characters just disappear if you know what I mean.

But overall visually its a masterpiece and even though the story was simple it is still entertaining and people give it too much shit while most blockbuster movies have shit and simple stories as well. Also the characters were pretty interesting and its going to be interesting to follow their journeys moving forward.

Problem with that sub is that its really NA biased and filled with 100T and SEN fans especially. And it has good amount of people who are just really "normie" and don't know much what they talk about or the scene outside of NA, or just super delusional fans of certain team. But overall people bait way less and there are also some good users there who actually know what they are talking about. Overall its less toxic and has less baiting but also has many clueless people.

Yeah I heard that during Sliggy's co-stream if I'm not wrong. But yeah its weird. He is good player, but his teams always suck. I guess Turkey just doesn't have many good or even decent IGLs. Should just do cNeds and join English speaking team, but now he has perma spot in franchise league so why not just stay there. Big problem for Turkish scene in the future I feel like.

They have Monsteerr so that is good piece to build around especially with sentinel changes even though I feel bad for him because he def deserved a franchising spot. But I could imagine them being decent spender in EMEA tier 2 so they could build decent roster I think. Just not sure how attractive the org is for players seeing how they seem to ask big buyouts, but for players who know they likely won't get picked by tier 1 orgs anytime soon it might be good option.

who wouldn't

true, or its not everyone but more like half that is still pretty high

Yeah going to be interesting to see what their plans with Wolfen are. He is main OP player, but also plays sentinels mainly and bit of initiators. We will see is KOI planning on keeping it that way or possibly even make him a duelist Jett player. They don't really have a Jett main in this team outside of maybe Trexx but even he isn't truly a Jett/OP player. Trexx can play sentinels as well so maybe Wolfen could practice Jett.

Can look beautiful and cozy, also brings brightness to otherwise dark days. When its dark from 4PM to 10AM almost every day snow adds a lot of shine. But snow = cold and cold sucks ass also snow can be annoying because it can get to shoes etc also once snow starts to melt and it becames this mixture of snow, ice and water its so shit when your shoes are wet 24/7 when outside and it sucks. Also ice sucks. Overall I would say that I only want snow during Christmas days and New Year eve but outside of that I'm fine without it. But as I said snow brings a lot of brightness so everything looks nicer than grey and rain otherwise. Snow > rain tho.

Maybe I only tried to watch this 3rd one. Feels like its just desk segments, gameday intros, games and interviews all just combined into one video. Yes there is some extra, but not like True Sight where they also recorded the guys having discussion outside between rounds from both teams etc. This is more like "epic recap of the event" than showing real not so fancy footage of teams being real with each other. If you know what I mean. But its just my opinion and I can see people preferring this style. I just think it makes it bit boring because we have seen most of this already.

and yes its true that its harder to do that when you follow all the teams instead of just finalists. But I like True Sight's style more.

yes

Am I only one who dislikes documents that focus too much on the gameplay and half of the episodes are just clips from the games? Like they are important for document to show what happened, but its so boring to watch same clips over and over again or hear the desk talking about it. I want to see more behind the scenes footage. I guess it makes sense because they are following multiple teams, but you get way better footage from like Dota 2 True Sight, because they actually follow the 2 finalist teams and viewers get so much more never seen before behind the scenes footage.

eh mid but skuba is pretty good

Not always, but when doing cardio I usually check VLR and ofc do other stuff with phone. Or watch movie.

pc, mobile when somewhere else or exercising etc

tbf I might have mixed racism with xenophobia, but I hate calling those 2 different when they share parts

Literally has nothing to do with that. But say what you want. Too scared to accept the reality. Not going to continue forward because this isn't the place for that.

Natural was maybe wrong word, but more like normal or common. Also stuff like socially constructured ideas etc are in a way "natural "to us because we are born into this world and we process things differently and are more complicated than other animals.

No Im Mr. Realistic no bullshit

Not away from specific looking people or skin color but from any that I don't know. So no.

Take from person who doesn't know what the is talking about. Even though CSGO has been out for long time and the basics are the same theres still so much macro/micro changes happening all the time. Add to that they are actually changing the map pool nowadays like addition of Ancient and most recent Anubis. Only clueless people think CSGO doesn't have a metas or one that doesn't change. The game evolves all the time.

or maybe because LEC > LCS

Every person is at least slightly racist lets be real. I think its natural.

soulcas gets so much undeserved hate. He is good.

Because CSGO is huge mind game because its so mastered, so you need to be constantly focused and think so many things. Way more than what Valorant is currently. Every utility piece, position etc has big impact on the rounds. Also the amount of protocols etc top CSGO pros have is so high. Valorant is casual compared to that at this current time.
