people are still on about reykjavik 2022 wow i can't believe it

maybe it was a misclick and he meant to go sova since r and s are right next to eachother

man

nrg didn't make grands so it was falcons vs dignitas

any other region winning is better than eu winning

also falcons had the win coming for a while now

did you escape

they've been doing this for a couple years but i agree they are cool regardless

bruhhh strikle me when the bruh

season reset always exposes who's boosted and who's not
i'm here for it

there are diamonds and ascendants who dropped to gold in the reset so it's not that crazy

21 games already holy shit

yay sure
boostio didn't really make a comeback this year, if anything he was better last year

happy 13th birthday!

if it was collegiate they'd be limited to signing players that are enrolled as full-time students

but this is tier 2, so they can sign whoever they want, they're just treated as an org

or maybe he's also going back to college but idk

what the FUCK is TOMATO DUDE??!!

there's no fun and whimsy in NA

yeah agreed i don't think they're top 3 but an HM on any list for sure just because of how it played out

i think you meant to link something else

c is crazy but we probably cap out at b at the moment, i think we'll see how good nrg really are at ewc

it didn't look like teams were trying their absolute hardest during the quals so i'm not sure what to think about this roster yet

yay drops 2000 and makes c9 wish they went bankrupt instead of dropping him

eg 2-0

branch davidians are up there too

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/7297506a

week by week

2g 26-0 spike drops 130 and aces every round

c9 wins if this game qualifies them to playoffs

they lose if they're already qualified/if they can't make it anymore

26-0

verno raises his fist high, ready to right the org that wronged him once again, and he throws out his best punch, but nobody is there

he looks across the stage, a hole in his heart, if there is nobody to punch, what is there to play for?

with a heavy hand and a sorrow mind, he gets up, and walks off the stage

mibr could not possibly win the 4v5, no matter how hard aspas tries

nrg 2-0

nrg 2-1 but at least 1 ot map

loud 2-0 i've lost all my faith for the foreseeable future

edit: why do i even bother commenting preds at this point

100t 2-1 but i hope nrg 2-0

fuck ts nrg 2-0 baby

nrg 2-1 i'm a kess believer

edit: intentional jinx for my pickem's

wtf does this mean bro

we all do it and don't get paid
i think it's more than reasonable

i mean it's a lot more likely to get harder teams when you're 4th seed so it does make sense

i am more than happy with this group

i saw an idea somewhere that said if you're on the outside edges of the flash you get nearsighted for less time
not sure how effective of a nerf it'd be but it's a thought

agreed, while omen is obviously very strong in the meta, i don't necessarily think this would be an instance of unnecessary power creep, because many of the other controllers are just weak in comparison

omen is strong, sure, but the reason he doesn't feel suffocatingly strong is because he's not broken, they've done a fine job of specifically tuning him, the other controllers just have a niche that's too specific at the moment

you're the only human, the rest of us are bots attempting to take control of vlr.gg

i got banned for a week because someone asked me "what rhymes with widget" and i said midget

this literally happens in every single competitive game
no exceptions
every single one
maybe it happens a little more in valorant
but over a huge sample size, it won't be that big of a difference

i think you'll be fine bro you haven't played comp in over 2 and a half years

huge fan of this explanation

it's not so the casuals can beat the better players, they're not adding aspects of randomness to the game, riot is intentionally raising the skill floor, not lowering the skill ceiling

it's so the casuals have an easier time getting better, these small visual changes will never be the difference between a much better player winning or losing to a worse one, but they might be the difference between a player on worse graphics or with worse spatial awareness being able to do something they otherwise couldn't

your take makes no sense imo

reads like a manhwa i can't lie but maybe my brain is just rotted

i want to dream that my favourite valorant team made franchising

henbaby knows ball

i agree

g2 still at #1 is a little.. odd
like they're good don't get me wrong, but they have to prove themselves at ewc, stage 2, and champs, then maybe they can be #1
i'd take both prx and fnc over them for that slot i can't lie

these are the only other 4 grand finals he's lost, but i can't imagine it's any of these tbh they're all rando no name shit

*other than 1 singular roster AND this valorantsimulator 100t team

close second

nrg fans don't think they're better than everyone much less anyone we are horrible 😭

these graphics are so sick wtf

doing an interview like this after losing a grand final like that is ultimate class imo

respect
