riot probably has a roster lock in date, also contract has a start date and end date anyways
its not like you start getting paid the moment you sign the contract

not saying he will be bad but i have no clue if he will translate well

horrible advice
ask a basketball player if the only training they do is play real games
they practice all their skills individually with focused drills because that is the most effective way to train

demon1 agent pool is like almost 1:1 with canezerra

bro only farmed t3 taiwanese tournaments idk if he can perform in tier 1

king bob just dropped the realest take of all time

akame disrespect
if this guy was on a good korean team he would be top 5 flex players itw

akame deserves to not IGL, he is a beast fragger and putting him on IGL would be a waste

rt, I can get behind this

Nah all things considered he is still better than a good portion of people in tier 1 rn
I think its just his bad reputation with regards to attitude
He isn't willing to grind T2 at all, and has a huge ego despite a underperforming expectations on NRG and somewhat on LEV
If he dropped the ego and admitted that he isn't as good as he once was then maybe teams would consider him

no changes besides -jinboong
honestly I think they need a new coach, just import some KR t2 one and see the magic happen

I agree, sova is more of a backline agent and fade's util is more close up and aggressive
However your argument can be summed up as instead of throwing util and baiting your team, your initiator can't bait and needs to play closer to the front.

I don't see how that is a tradeoff for the team overall; someone needs to play up and if fade's kit favors that then let the initiator player play up. Regardless of what agent is played someone is gonna be in the front and someone is gonna be in the back. Fade utility hard clears sova's in terms of info value and maintaining map control off it. Even if the initiator player's stats suffer his team is usually better off for it.

This is ofc discounting individual comfortability. While fade is objectively a better pick on corrode, brawk runs sova for comfortability reasons. He is just a better sova player than a fade player. Meanwhile n4rrate is objectively a better fade player than sova player because he thrives in aggressive fights off his own utility. Your analysis is pretty much correct but you drew the wrong conclusion.

n4rrate is a very good fade player, better than his sova imo

nvm i stand corrected

even less then
omen blind is still so strong after nerfs
astra utility is still very clunky and hard to get value out of
its super easy to avoid and slow to activate

idk i feel like with yoru being so prevalent you can very easily just trigger the sensors with clone or just TP past them
the wall is very easy to bait out and break and it doesn't even block off sightlines for info denial

not a single word from the oxford dictionary 😭✌🥀🥀🥀

very good player stuck on very bad team in CN

its actually gotten much better in the bigger cities but most of it is just ignorance or curiosity from lacking interactions with other races
china is so homogenous and the government kinda leans hard into a common national identity which doesn't help

chinese netizens are honestly not representative of the whole population
those guys are genuinely a different breed of disgusting human beings

s0m and shanks type stuggle

all that we know is that by the time zekken was approached cortezia was out of the picture
it doesn't mean that zekken was the replacement for cortezia

unfortunately I don't think ethnic flags or minor subregion flags are representable
otherwise same would have to be applied for nearly every ethnicity/subregion which is not feasible and is unfair to those who do not get represented

marvel rivals unironically has the worst rank system in a while

you have my vote

coordinated flood retakes, crossfires, coordinated swings, tight positioning

that's what I said
its harder to have bad stats if you are in a team that just wins

that's what im saying???? wdym opposite
when they do die it is usually instantly traded because unlike a PRX player who would just ego swing they would rather just wait for their teammate to group and swing with them

disband them

trading is the only thing that relies on death
everything else about their teamplay is just good coordination and team chemistry that comes with keeping a core for this long under one coach

he wasnt even relevant on lev... check his stats last year

I have a hypothesis:

Because G2 players in general have a playstyle that revolves around high levels of teamplay and kill trading, they tend to have much better stats overall than they should as separate individuals.

Add on the fact that they as a team are basically always winning games in region and making deep runs internationally: an argument could be made that their winningness means that despite single player inconsistencies between maps, the average performance of the team system results in high ratings for all players when looked at comprehensively.

It is possible that while G2 has very solid players, if you isolated them from their team system they would experience a larger statistical drop than other players.

evidence: they made n0t, t0x, and s0y0pl0y0r look like good players

Yeah that's what I meant
Out of all the players with his level of glaze you almost never have this much inconsistency

When he's good he looks like top 10 itw but when hes having an off day it just looks horrible

not just one tho, i swear this is a reoccurring thing

yeah he sometimes drops generational performances but some days he's just super mid and other days he just drops giant stinker games
feels like the community just overlooks how inconsistent he is and praises him as a top 10 player in americas off his good games alone

i honestly think hes a foxy9 type player
lwk braindead but good aim

recoil is a good aimer in ranked but he doesn't really stand out in actual t2 games

still is brotato, always has been

The machine itself is maybe qualified to be art, but for sure not the output of it. The simple digital arithmetic calculator is a marvel of engineering in itself, but that doesn't qualify the numbers it outputs as art.

What AI does is regurgitate some combination of source data given input parameters. The output is not art, it is a mismatch of algorithmically analyzed data, lacking any human meaning or intention behind it's generation, besides the tiny fraction of it that is the input parameters themselves. All these input parameters do is point to what data to steal from and copy.

Artists spend decades refining their styles, imparting their life experiences and intentions into their works. When you feed this into generative AI all it does is do some imperfect pattern recognition without understanding the intent behind what the original artist was trying to do. Anything that comes out of generative AI cannot be considered art.

Its less so the job and moreso the human expression being lost.

Some jobs should not be automated. Imagine if esports was. Would you care about esports as much if your favorite players were AI generated characters, the game was AI generated slop, and the tournaments were scripted with AI? The human connection matters.

Yes people can still enjoy AI and its byproducts, but I'm not arguing against that to begin with. I am arguing against your pretty dumb points and your complete lack of understanding of what art is.

I am confused about why you keep trying to classify art as a hobby. Anything can be a hobby. Electrical engineering could be a hobby if you dont make money off of it. Art is a profession as well. Give it some respect man. You clearly don't seem to consider it a real profession with how you keep trying to downplay it. 50 million people worldwide work in the creative industry. This isn't just some hobbyists crying. You are just pulling 99.9 percent statistics out of thin air. That isn't even true.

Corporations will always look to automate since that is what saves money. But long term I think more people like me will still keep the demand for human art alive.

You are speaking up your ass bro. Art has never been just a hobby. It has been a profession from the beginning of time till now. The ancient Roman’s needed sculptors for their palaces. Nearly the entire entertainment industry is made up of professional artists.

I don’t think you get the point. Art is a field that should not be replaced by AI, because it largely defeats the purpose of art. Art is human expression, and that is what makes it relatable. We don’t view art for the technical precision achieved by machines, more so for the expression of the human experience that comes out of art and its many forms. Art is defined by its humanity. No other field of work is.

If you want some illustrations for your book it is quite literally not that expensive to commission a few works of art from a human artist bro…

Art is a job field bro…
I think automating creative jobs is quite literally the last thing we should be automating. Instead of removing the work nobody enjoys we are automating and replacing humans in the work that has the most human emotional value?

Champs mvp over not even rbhg mvp is justified

Leaf I feel has too many off games
When he is locked leaf clears but overall less is still very good and much more consistent imo

Let the man goon to widowmaker in peace bro

Most people don’t speak Spanish here bub

Just not newgen lolcows
