fuck steve

botw and smash ultimate

but they came out 8 and 7 years ago respectively, which is admittedly a long time

this is a never before heard take

pi is probably just banned in automod so saying it would get you banned regardless of context (I think it's dumb too I just think that's what happened)

torchic snivy turtwig

if nrg picked up yay in 2023 instead of ardiis they would have been much worse (and ardiis wasn't the problem)

i haven't seen you in so long i thought you died

decides who gets first rounded in playoffs

please throw the bag at mce to find some players worth picking up instead of just doing the same shit that we've been doing for the past 3 years

I agree that #7's take is awful but I think you're being a little disingenuous, saying that he had to prove them wrong is odd, we don't know what the issues with him were on nrg, there isn't really anything for him to prove, at least from an outside perspective

but it was cinema so i'm not complaining

yeah I absolutely agree with you, and the interview they released where he just seems like an egotistical shithead was completely unnecessary, especially since we know that, at that point in the timeline, there were already internal issues in the team

i remember seeing a tanmay post where he mentions that like 9-10 current tier 1 pros in NA literally hate verno because of his attitude, so I don't doubt that nrg had at least SOME reason to drop him, but it felt like they were trying to do too much damage control

this team was never going to succeed anyways after dropping verno, they literally just don't have the pieces, and it doesn't help that verno went nuclear against nrg yesterday, but i can't help but think that there was literally nothing they could have done to prevent this failure, except maybe actually trialing verno instead of just flat out picking him up because of how he looked in tier 2

it's criminal that MCE is as underrated as he is, literally the goat of talent scouting

more freedom with skins = more people buying skins

it's the same idea behind having different skins for ct and t, i wonder why riot hasn't done anything to facilitate this yet

this whole verno situation is so odd to me because I truly wonder what NRG actually should have done in this situation

there was clearly some problem with verno (nobody knows what, just that there was one), and you're given the choice between losing your igl and controller in their last season, or your cracked rookie and coach, but neither would make the fans happy at all, and a whole rebrand would have fucked the team either way

obviously i'm biased because i'm an nrg fan, but it just seems unlucky to a sense, because I can't imagine a situation where it isn't just a lose-lose

past just winning champs, it even feels like every team that makes champs grand finals starts to have problems/immediately falls off

could also say this for another org...

makes sense why he landed at mibr now actually instead of another na team

i agree, there isn't a problem with it, in the same way there isn't a problem with me calling him a moron

?

nah after how lev looked against g2 I think they actually have a shot to upset a few teams, not that it's likely, just possible now

yeah ppl who take game talk seriously are morons

expected tbh

why would you do this

what has come to light today that we haven't already known

better to give an 18 year old a shot to develop than to accommodate for a senior citizen, nrg just did that in their own way I guess

yeah ik bro he's on m80 and was awful his first game back

preaching to the choir

nobody on vlr is going to defend fns except baiters

not for my king victor 😔

go for a third

he didn't even have to punch fns he just full fisted us across the series

thank god we let this guy go he's too good to be suck on this dogshit nrg roster

even if his buddy was someone half decent maybe it'd be worth it

BUT IT'S FUCKING FNS HE'S SO FUCKING BAD

coming back just to be dogshit is actually the worst decision he could have made

they have no dignity, there is nothing to keep

mibr is not 2023 c9 they will not drop their igl mid-season

the reykjavik loss makes sense in that context then

for any other team it wouldn't make sense to replace your igl over anyone else

but man fns is just so fucking dogshit

what is the aspas equivalent to thors dying

there is no one player to blame for this loss, it's just the team

man

it wasn't the mustache

hope g2 drops their roster and pick them up?

i don't fucking know i'm not on the team maybe he wants to lose idk😭😭😭

i'm tired boss..

maybe 2021 astralis

surely they just accept their fate and don't throw more money away

bro lz is good chill on him

he has to be careful or nrg might kick him bc of vibes

hopefully he finds a team for stage 2

if only we didn't drop a tejo player...
