it is lol. not gonna stop looking anytime soon tho
thx man. been going well so far!
majoring in geology. this is actually a hobby thing I'm doing on the side just so I can put some concepts in practice as i learn. summer semester is gonna end in a few days for me & gonna re-enroll for the fall semester full time since I'm still searching for a job atm
woke up, ate lunch with some friends, worked on finishing up some plate tectonic simulations, took a nap a few hours ago, woke up and now i'm here
that's what i was thinking. i legit do not understand why ppl are making him out to be some villain when he simply made a retarded decision. he SHOULD be made fun of but the legit wishes for bad fortune is weird to me
did he or did he not do it with malicious intent? I'm seeing people say he did but to me it looks like he was just parroting the news he saw. Definitely a stupid fucking thing to do as a vlr user, but to me it doesn't look like he had bad intentions?

the concern's understandable but if a chinese conglomerate did ANY of the shit ppl fearmonger about the chinese government would do the financial equivalent of taking them out back and executing them. the CCP does not play with corporate shenanigans
ion really care that it has kernel access. it'd be stupid for them to hijack any computer and every other company these days steals user data for ads anyways
FPX are confusing because they obviously didn't really care about winning after split 1--choosing to dry run experimental comps and seeing what stuck. At the same time though they kept making really stupid mistakes, throwing man advantages, and not really seeming to actually LEARN from their games deep down.
I wouldn't say they look 'worse' but instead kinda uninspired. This FPX has always been there but now the novelty is wearing off because they haven't had another 'eureka!' moment so far. Maybe this'll change in champs, but as of now they're "strong" but not "great"
it's possible for FPX, especially if TH and SEN aren't in their complete form.
blg gotta upset either FNATIC or DRX so their chances are grim
Trace has the best shot realistically, since on an individual basis they can tussle with everyone outside of LEV, the only thing that worries me is their game(s) against vitality, not to mention how Talon are actually fundamentally solid so that's not a free win either
EDG are entirely an unknown quality cuz their coach changes could very well either help them or not change shit with their international performance
Americas champs: Furia (will come back with vengeance after being at the bottom)
emea champs: heretics (young this year so they have a lot of potential)
pacific champs: DRX (they just have that aura)
china champs: trace (will own EDG)
Masters 1 champs: drx or furia
Masters 2 champs: Heretics
Champions: Cloud9
titles and trophies are irrelevant when it comes to slots. FNATIC won EMEA two different trophies last year, gave them two extra champs slots, and what happened? only two made it to playoffs; the same as everyone else!
they have an active player count comparable with the entirety of Americas combined, and that will only increase as time passes. wtf do you mean "what China achieved"
+team that took both top 2 shanghai teams to a game 3 & multiple OT's. the scripting script is scripting
FPX gets a bigger boost because Berlin & Life int and they win anyways 🗿
these takes are slightly warmer than my freezer 🔥
I always find an appeal with people & groups who make something out of nothing. I can never find an appeal in rooting for a team that is set up for success from the start, or is built with the intention for an immediately high skill ceiling. What truly builds a legacy isn't from how extravagant or high the throne you sit on is, nor is it from having the best players, but from building one with your blood, sweat, and grit as materials. Then and only then will you be able to look back on your accomplishments with satisfaction that you truly did everything you could to make the most out of your time competing. I ENJOY watching AG not because they're the best, but because I can see the visible effort they put into improving, and that's all that really matters to me.
2 of the chinese teams are guarantees to bottom out but it depends on the groups. FPX & EDG could get unlucky or Trace & BLG could get a miracle and get some weaker teams they could upset
one of the chinese teams will upset one of the 2nd-3rd place teams
G2 lose their first playoff game but go on a losers run to grands
SEN will choke their lower bracket group qualifying match
2 EMEA teams will go to playoffs but not Team Heretics
DRX is more reliable than LEV atm so APAC takes it
no if you do that you'd get shitstomped socially forever. it takes someone with very impaired social awareness to do that seriously, and if your friends do let you live it down then they're either also weird af or praying on your downfall
Unlike TenZ the average person who does watch hentai in public isn't well adjusted to society and are prolly weird af in terrible ways
unfortunately it all depends on what they cook between now and then lmao. It's all in NathanD's hands atp and what the players do with it. I do have hope they'll step up at least a little in Seoul n make it to playoffs depending on what group they get. not getting my hopes up TOO high for a run though
you mentioned vct China as a whole so i assumed you meant that my b
imo that's recency bias considering FPX overall has been a little underwhelming after shanghai
really no Autumn? bro's been clutching it up for FPX the entire season
if you're this butthurt over a map loss then idk what to say. i'm not defending the content i literally said it's ass bro
NA georgia servers. to be fair that might help me cuz i'm not playing in texas or anything in the middle of the country where ppl might go when multi-queuing
where in my post am i complimenting curry specifically? and yeah i bothered to turn it on n i got gold today. your point?
yeah the minute i learned how to swing/peek ppl correctly (or at least better than I was) I started winning lol. this shit is broken
i haven't encountered any smurfs from when i started this act from bronze, and if there was i literally don't pay attention. why would i whine about the players on the opposite team when I should be contributing myself
yeah ik those are downsides but the range is what irks me specifically lol. the fact i gotta rotate to smoke the opposite site hurts me. maybe if i play omen it'd be easier but i like brim's ult. give me way more freedom to clutch & get free kills
yeah it he has zero reach on his ipad on maps like abyss and pearl
most of the advice i've come across for smokes comes down to "don't smoke too shallow!" or "make sure you smoke at the right times" as if that remotely helps any of the other shit you encounter in-game. i one-trick brim and knowing how to fight against golds & disrespecting them has won me so many games
yuh. tryna hit plat by this week. went from s2 to g1 today
this is pretty much it tbh. also is quite a demonstration about how big the mechanical differences are
watching curry's controller to radiant streams have actually helped me learn how to carry. they're kinda ass but the content is pretty helpful to learn how to set yourself up while not being a useless baiter
