this caster is so fucking good and I suck ass at spanish

trembolona:
radiant in Valorant
niche internet microcelebrity
acknowledged by multiple pro players

SilentNight:

derke

super fun to watch because he makes risky but massively impactful plays

sadge

yay has played 2/3 of those agents at a world class level

he's never been needed to play any other, yet.

format changed

im sure tenz had a big impact on it, but finalmouse is also already an incredible clout-ed brand. that mouse would likely have sold out either way, like all their other drops, just in a little more time.

i like the zeta logo solely because of the ability to type it out: '//,

i was saying that neon was the best duelist on fracture a while ago, and raze a close second. their comp has both and chamber.

the PRX comp has like the three best agents for the map and it perfectly fits their style

don't they get to select the entire map pool? they'll probably ban breeze and split, which confirms Bind and Fracture.

PRX stonks ^^^

bump

no?

there's a lot more promotion, way more on the line, way more teams.

the bracket shouldn't be gigatroll allowing 4 teams into playoffs

and it's the capstone of the year.

fully booked arena ready to watch PRX absolutely dismantle whatever team is unlucky enough to make it to the grand finals

tarik has 400k lmfao

stop lying!

WHY DID YOU MURDER MY FATHER YOU RACIST

there's so many great individual rounds too!

they also beat Keyd and KRU

I fucking love APAC, but saying that "most APAC teams" could beat Optic is just. wrong. I think there are a few APAC teams that could put up a solid fight, but most aren't at the level required.

at that point in time, the only other teams you could possibly make an argument for being better than these three teams are Fnatic and FPX with their full rosters.

And if there are literally only two fucking teams that are better than these three how on earth can they be "easy opponents" ?

LOUD, DRX and Zeta are not easy opponents

was this always a thing? I know the recently added it to the NA vct, and it sucked massive ass.

it ruins the flow of the game.

Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke

its target audience is children but I've honestly had a ton of fun rereading it recently. It's an urban fantasy that follows a dragon attempting to find a new home undisturbed by human activity after centuries of hiding.

The journey spans a good portion of the earth with an extremely unique cast that takes inspiration from many different mythical creatures, with a fantastic antagonist.

It is a little bit on the longer side at 500 pages but its writing is not very dense (since its primary audience is children) so you can read through very easily.

wait did they already confirm that there's a new assessment in four years? didn't hear anything about that till now

Derke was better than him in EMEA but his international performance was definitely worse.

money, stability, content, fanbase, commitment.

supposedly there are teams that have been confirmed but only leakers know them. I think there are definitely some teams you 100% are going to see in franchising like LOUD, Fnatic, Optic, and Zeta Division.

for every team in every other region that was on the brink of getting into the league, it's a massive fuck you to see organizations from a country that has done nothing during the application period to get in posthumously while they're stuck outside.

tldr: it would look like RIOT is sucking Chinese dick

which makes sense business-wise but still.

yes

adding more slots later sets a weird precedent IMO

I think Riot are shooting themselves in the foot if they don't preemptively allow a few Chinese orgs into the league, but then that leaves less space for SEA teams.

I wish there were more slots

they do this for LoL Worlds. I think they've done it for Valorant before too, but I don't think it was live.

i keep forgetting NA viewership went down from previous events lol

he played well online though! who would you pick to replace him?

:(

Americas currently has the highest viewership I think, since NA is the most viewed region and BR is 3rd (when LOUD is playing).

but if PRX wins I think it's inevitable that the game grows a lot in APAC. Combined with the absolutely unreal Japanese viewership the Asian league might be the most viewed

EMEA feels doomed to be 3rd no matter what. Even with KOI, KC, and G2 playing it's simply not enough.

No JP / BR

Arguably the most popular regions outside NA.

Still the grand finals should hit 800k and a mil if it's a close 3-2.

i think you may need to seek professional help if your sandwiches are speaking

this tournament for sure. Yay actually managed to bounce back.

I still believe that Derke is absolutely the best player in the world, he just stumbled this time.

gutted to not see a peak form Derke vs Yay this masters either.

derke's had a rough tournament. last time I remember him performing as inconsistent as he is right now would be way back around the berlin qualifiers. coincidentally they would've been around the same time now, but last year.

I still have faith in the squad though. They just need to learn to lose, to come back stronger next time.

For the rest of the tournament, I'm going cheer for my favorite region, APAC.

this guy is a fucking monster. his impact is reminiscent of Berlin's nAts.

he's just been having a rough time this event so I sadly lost faith in his ability to win duels when he was 7-10 at round 10. Then he spray transferred 2 on ropes and I never doubted again lmfao
