actors better most of time or at least there's more good selection

You are not wrong about Mistic, but he had some nice rounds in EMEA and maybe he didn't end up with the best stats but usually had big impact with kills. That wasn't visible in Masters sadly.

1. VLR
2. HLTV

Of course. They were the first team to play against PRX so they didn't have much footage + PRX style is really different to what they are used to. Like do you think FPX would have won so dominantly against them on Bind if it wasn't for Fnatic vs PRX? And Fnatic still made both maps close while also losing majority of the pistol rounds.
And Leviatan in other hand isn't a bad team and also play pretty different to your typical EMEA team.

My overall take away of Fnatic is that they are just bad at adapting to different styles and their individual players especially Derke and Mistic were not on their peak form. So in that sense it doesn't favor them heading into Champions, because now there's even more teams that play non typical EMEA styles. But I do believe their group should favor them because it will be more comfortable for them. Also if they still have Breeze as their perma ban and aren't good on Pearl then it will be a problem. I do believe in their ability to learning new maps quick tho.

What you mean? They looked like the best team in the world and easily best in EMEA heading into Masters 2. And knowing their peak and quality its likely they will be strong contender in Champions. So of course any reasonable person is going to expect more from them than 100T. Fnatic deserved their hype, 100T haven't.

ugly like expected

I like their casting, but I'm bit biased because followed them since Overwatch. Were 2nd best duo there IMO after Uber/X. One of the best duos on Valorant tho.

I know I was following when it happened. And by founding I meant Aleksib & NBK duo that was looking for orgs to build roster with

no unless you count in Chinese viewership then maybe

I feel like Fnatic will do well on it because they are always good on new maps. They were the first to show good Fracture last year in Champions. And they also have Breeze as perma ban so that forces them to trying to become good at it.

Looks nice can I ask you what this logo represents what is the inspiration behind it? Or is it just random? And why the color scheme.

what is this font

Liquid is so smart. They have NA HQ and EU HQ and have rosters from both regions. NA CSGO roster(not fully rn IIRC), EU Valorant roster, NA LoL roster that is actually made out of 5 EU players like holy

Yeah most likely I remember her doing some "desk" work on Riot's Arcane event and it was good. But knowing that this year's Champions song is likely performed by female singer because last year's was male and LoL Worlds usually goes from male to female to male.... and Chrissy is one of their go to for female vocals.

EDG is still hard to predict, but even though its hard group on paper like it is I still do believe it suits Team Liquid quite well. You want to have a team full of confident players with good aims in that group and TL is just that. Seeing all these 4 going against each other will be insane since all of them have pretty similar style when it comes to confidence and aim diff.

Prediction:
Champions 2022: Champions themed Phantom skin, pretty similar to Champions Vandal, easy money.

Champions 2023->forward: gun picked by winner team and designed to suit the winner teams branding as partnered teams are now a thing. Like imagine if FPX won it would be like Vandal with fire effects and red/black/grey color theme. Maybe not branding, but colors and particles etc suit team branding. Kind of like LoL Worlds skins or Overwatch winner team and MVP skins. Like when Sinatraa got Alien Zarya skin because it was his main and him being Alien was meme.

I think 100T should be good matchup for Fnatic. Fnatic didn't have the greatest Masters 2 performance, but they also played first match against PRX who play really uncommon style and Fnatic still made the maps quite close. And almost lost to Leviatan who also play quite aggressive style and different to what Fnatic is used to. I think many are forgetting that and underrating them. 100T definitely has a chance at winning I wouldn't be surprised, but I would imagine Fnatic being pretty happy for this groups. It just suits their style way better.

Depends on Fnatic form. But IMO there are scarier teams than 100T. They play like EMEA so its better for team like Fnatic. Fnatic weren't on prime form in Masters 2 and they had to play against PRX and Leviatan who play way different to majority of EMEA. They don't seem to be good at adapting to different styles, but most NA teams suit them well. I think 100T fans should be more scared of getting to same group with Fnatic and DRX(group DRX is usually insane).

Group A will be so hard to predict. PRX should do well, EDG is still bit question because they have shown good stuff but hard to say how they do internationally outside of Asia, Leviatan had good game against Fnatic, and TL's form can be anything. Should be banger group tho. Group of duels and individual plays.

Yes please. Having consistent spray patterns would make the game soo much better IMO. It allows people to use different styles. I don't think spraying would be as effective in Valorant as it is in CSGO, but spraying is much more enjoyable for me.

I would assume she will be the singer on new Champions song because she has also done bunch of stuff in LoL. She is good singer so its good.

Yeah same. Their core of Sayf, Trexx, Leo and Koldamenta is so good, but just need that 5th who can pull up his own weight. Like imagine Guild with someone like hoody on partnered org. That would be so good.

Sayf might be top 3 but he isn't in Champions.
He had highest stats in EMEA LCQ with insane 1.5KD even tho they lost 2/3 games 1:2 and 0:2.
Also he had 2nd highest ACS in Masters 2 while going out first in playoffs and losing to FPX and PRX.
Really insane stats if you think about it, but he is never talked about that much because he maybe isn't the flashiest.

Good video and just shows how good chemistry FPX has (best post game interviews by far), just wish the audio was better quality

He is on drugs or something. And has most likely been most of recent days and weeks tbh. Looking at him having long finger nails, dirty skin(could just be skin issue), long hair and ungroomed beard etc. And posting random pictures like that. Sad to see, but hopefully he will be fine and gets help if he truly is into drugs like that or whatever is his issue.

Mostly go for basic burger, kebab and pizza places if I order food because I only order when hungry and those are best to fill your stomach for decent price. For example there is this really good Neapolitan pizzeria that does good pizza, but they are pretty small and cost like 15 euros + 8 euro delivery, so I'm just better of paying 10 euros for pizza that is bigger and free delivery. For me its all about price and how much you get and decent taste.

But I have tried different stuff and for example found this Indian restaurant that had really good butter chicken and would order more if it wasn't as expensive. I like Indian food.

S+: Kebab
good, pretty cheap compared to what you get, quite big portions, everyone lives walking distance away here.

Happy birthday 🥳

We are already past that point. You need way more than mechanical aim to become pro. Even more in Valorant where aim skill ceiling is pretty low. At least for tier 1.

no euros, we don't use dollars in Finland

Scream's signature tactic: "Let me go kill" works every time
best IGL hands down

Site that shows information about companies etc

If I remember correctly Aleksib was on OG during 2021 just like Jamppi was supposed assuming that he wouldn't have been benched at any time. So it can give some direction, but obviously Aleksib was one of the founding members and IGL so his salary would have been higher than Jamppi's most likely.
But maybe I understood something wrong and it also isn't as simple as that.

As someone said:
Sweden population: 10.35 million, Finland population: 5.5 million
so small population and overall the interest in these countries is really low I would say.
and Lithuania is more of eastern European than Northern.
It makes sense why Nordic + UK/Ireland are put under one league.

Ofc there will be team skins, buddies, playercards etc. Anything that makes money for the league. Common practice in many esport games. CSGO has team stickers and player autographs, R6S has team skin and weapon skins, Overwatch has hero skins, League has icons and Worlds winner skins etc.

Franchised leagues have their pros and cons. And even tho this sounds good so far it is really likely there will be some thing that suck in the future. Like org hanging by with minimal budget hosting tier 2 level team.

Take Over pretty mid IMO just like last year's, but Rise is fucking banger in anyway possible music video etc all considered. Rise, Legends Never Die and Phoenix my favorite.

Maybe, but can't deny that he improved his Jett and Raze a lot for LCQ. Looks way more comfortable and he finally fits that entry/duelist role. We don't talk about Raze ultis tho.

We don't judge anyone's height here

lets go

good list

WATCH OUT 100T FANS this isn't same 100T as the one last year. nitr0, Ethan, Steel and Hiko with massive amount of prior experience while now you have people like bang playing on LAN for first time (I assume). Don't put too much expectations and pressure on these inexperienced players if you want them to win ;)

no one knows have to wait for champions

based

yep
