I heard the show just gets better and better. I think I'd really enjoy it, definitely need to watch it soon!

if I finish an anime before binging another show, I think Vinland Saga S2 is top of my list. got burnt out but I should go back. goated show.
edit: I will look into 91 days and dead mount death play
thank you!

I keep hearing it's fantastic but never got around to it.
it's near the top of my list, I just feel bad putting all the anime on hold that I have there.
I might binge it anyways though, just need something happy afterwards considering I'm just finishing Oyasumi Punpun... stacking the depression

already caught up on Frieren my friend!
I will consider Apothecary, I'm hoping to maybe finish one of the shows I listed and then Apothecary so I can binge it all

will consider this! thank you!

Thank you Netero! Very cool!

illmatic clears

controllers are mid and their best team if FUT with atakaptan playing controller...
look at atakaptan vs even t2 NA controllers

agreed
look at the matches they lost but also especially masters
guy was singlehandedly boosting them

that's fair, I think smurfette played extremely well in the EMEA league from what I watched but if didn't watch, that's understandable!

:3

y0y

smurfette? annja?

they will dominate or at least as long as rezq does well, I haven't heard much about her

xiter!?!?!?

Okobotro 🗿

says the dude crying on the forums

hey girl, do you play valorant? because I'm bronze and really need a boost >w< if you're gold or up please help me

I'm like 99% sure you can see the bald head of sacy right below drewspark's nose

insane for an org to try and remove a player completely like this. it's one thing to bench, and another to purposely act like the player doesn't exist when they've done nothing wrong

excited to see what you think Netero, glad it's up there on your list
I also watched in Dub, was a great decision
glad to see you still active, friend

you should watch Cowboy Bebop if you liked Samurai Champloo and Mob Psycho since it is my fav show of all time, and you liked Bocchi
nice list though!

the BLAST ui for CS is incredibly good

Netero based for agreeing Platinum was peak and past that was all downhill.........

this could easily work too. I feel Riot sees doing this many tournaments as a "Logistical Nightmare" but truly it would be easier if they weren't hosting, planning and paying for every single one

they had act 1, act 2 and then a chinese champions qualifier
it was a bit too bunched up for me but at least they had multiple seasons for teams to show they are improving / doing better and more matches. it's how we got billibilli in a tournament, who ended up doing well (being NRG twice RIP)

regional leagues should be like the old china system with 2-3 seasons/rounds to qualify for tournamens but each season you can go to the big tournaments if you're at the top
this would mean teams have like 3 season to improve rather than just one where if you lose like 5 matches it's over
just have like (region) spring, (masters 1), summer, (masters 2), fall (champs)
winter offseason

for example
VCT Americas Spring (top 4 to Masters 1)
VCT Americas Summer (top 3 to Masters 2, top Americas team from Masters 1 auto quali)
VCT Americas Fall (top 2 to Champs, top Americas team from Masters 1 and masters 2 auto quali)
teams if they want can grind off-season tournaments during the winter offseason. would also align with most contracts expiring

factual
oopsie you lost 5 matches out of 9? your season is virtually over
nice try squad! your org is irrelevant for the year!

China has an insane system compared to the rest of the regions. they played 54 matches through the year. it's not comparable to the franchised system, which they were not a part of until this year

let's say you're from spain and you love KOI
you watch them at LOCK//IN get insta eliminated and play one match
you watch the 9 matches in their regular season, 4 matches in a LCQ and then it's just over. maybe you can peek at their crossfire cup? oh no they lost 1 match and now their year is over.
heartbreaking.

tenz will be the scapegoat now even though I think he's been doing incredible (even just from stats) at his role as a flex and will only get better

burnout playing a match every 12 days. I understand someone brought up scrims and needing to adjust meta and map rotation, but that's like two to four times a year. that does not require such a crazy amount of effort to make up for the gap between how much other esports players are playing and how much Valorant players are playing.

Faze in Counter-Strike during 2023 played 165 maps on LAN totaling 74 matches, one match every 5 days.
Val players on a good year play 31 matches TOTAL including a SEASONAL ROUND ROBIN FORMAT so one nearly every 12 days. this is pulled from fnatic, who had the most matches through the year to my knowledge (or at least larger riot ones)
and yes, it gets worse when we put in only the actual international tournaments, where, if you were fnatic and won every single match in champs, tokyo and sao paulo you'd only have 16 matches played through the year internationally, one nearly every 23 days.
let's say you're an unfortunate org like KOI?
1 international match in a year, LOCK//IN. you play your regular season, some playoffs, maybe a crossfire cup (all EMEA tournaments) and that's your entire year.
the system is broken. this cannot be all we can offer to these teams.

my proposition:

regional leagues should have 3 seasons to qualify for tournaments and each season you can go to the big tournaments if you're at the top
this would mean teams have multiple seasons to improve rather than just one where if you lose like 5 matches it's over
have (region) spring for masters 1, summer for masters 2 and fall for champs
winter offseason to align with contract expiration

for example
VCT Americas Spring (top 4 to Masters 1)
VCT Americas Summer (top 3 to Masters 2, top Americas team from Masters 1 auto quali)
VCT Americas Fall (top 2 to Champs, top Americas team from Masters 1 and masters 2 auto quali)
teams if they want can grind off-season tournaments during the winter offseason

could easily be done like:
Late January - Mid March: Spring season, Masters 1 late March
Mid May - Early July: Summer, Masters 2 Mid July)
Late August - Early October: Fall, Champs Late October)
November-almost February: off season (contract expirations and roster changes)

bottom teams get guaranteed 30 matches through the year, if a team wins every match through all 3 seasons its 45 matches. if they win all 3 tournaments like 66, 70 max. seems like a lot (and close to the CS one) but regular season matches are BO1 (all 30 guaranteed matches) so truly it'd be more like 68 maps through regular seasons and in tournaments maybe 29 more so 97 maps (faze played 165)

TL;DR: schedule ass, have seasonal schedules with winter season off. each season qualis to masters 1, 2 and champs

faze in 2023 played 165 maps on LAN totalling 74 matches, one match every 5 days
val players on a good year play 31 matches TOTAL including a SEASONAL ROUND ROBIN FORMAT so one nearly every 12 days (fnatic with the most matches through 2023, could be wrong on this)
it gets worse when we put in only the actual international tournaments, where, if you were fnatic and won every single match in champs, tokyo and sao paulo you'd only have 16 matches played through the year internationally, one nearly every 23 days.

big fan of the joblife roster
hoping kamyk and jas do well

furia:
mwzera (duelist)
nzr (initiator)
kon4n (initiator flex)
pancada (controller)
khalil/havoc/liazzi (sentinel, whoever is best in role)

bonecold life map to win acend 2nd map
redgar disasterclass last 2 maps
tilt calling + crazy lucky rounds from ACEND
literal life series, overall gambit looked way better and way more solid throughout the series
just truly unlucky

frauded their way through
gambit robbed

easy answer
TenZ has the biggest following by FAR out of any player in franchising
he is easily recognizable by Valorant fans and people outside of Valorant
