As a Polaris (N//E now) viewer I feel ya

Id say theres only up, but I feel like we're headed towards Riot throwing the towel and just creating 1 combined EMEA league ngl (which would devastate regions like MENA)

tf did ya boi do?!

Watch the Umamusume anime and find out

low end gpu market is dead (basically intel is holding that shit up, but unless youre fine troubleshooting regularly theyre not worth the headache yet)
ram costs a fortune

and the rest is fine

but it makes the 600$ price range difficult

Check your second hand market
You wont be able to get anything current ofc, but I got (sorta) lucky was able to get a 2070 super + a ryzen 3600 for 450€ ~2 months ago

Id just pick up entire systems if youre going second hand personally

Glad to have a discussion with you^^
Since youre clearly new to watching spain heres how the results look at the end of a season https://www.vlr.gg/event/2393/challengers-2025-spain-rising-split-2/regular-season

Feel free to ask if you need help reading the map differentials and finding out which of the 5 teams is better

Yes
But for them a format which allows them to play more maps and actually prove themselves is better

Again not this year since theres regions getting a proper game count doing bo3s, but we've had plenty of years where a single upset would knock a mid table team out of playoff contention in multiple regions (basically look at any of DACHs formats if you wanna see how a format can be incredibly uncompetitive despite being fully bo3)

No one cares about t2 group stages regardless of what you do

Bo2s 100% have their place
More consistent schedule -> more maps played per week

Buuuuuuut...
France, Turkey and Mena exist
All of them play just as many bo3s as Spain plays bo2s, so its hard to argue that their format isnt shit

At least theyre not Dach who only play 4 bo3s per week

BarcK is a one man army
You cant convince me he wasnt playing without a monitor during der Pokal, cause these 2 arent the same player

RZN got some insane potential

sorry, totally forgot to reply to this after work

First algo is fine from what I can tell (unless the python specific errors)
It probably looks weird since youre already doing the space efficient method of moving the correct output to the front of the list, instead of creating a separate output list

And yea I think the gif wikipedia has for selection sort could help explaining it without having to explain specifics^^

(Check that cool little category thing at the top^^)

We dont gotta speculate on moderation though
Think its pretty easy to tell if you upset whoever was modding your thread gets deleted and you get your head smashed in with a hammer

I cant stop laughing xD
Someones gotta log out asap

Idk, ive asked myself that question more times than I care to admit

Lmao, actual World of Warcraft meets valorant right there
Lucky barely had the issue myself so far

Youre just cursed ngl

ya cant be that surprised after you jinxed tf out of them

nah nah it exists^^ its just called tree sort
(which then creates a binary search, so basically same thing)

you can log them to a file silently and do analysis on them afterwards
Or just have variables that you count swaps and comparisons in (since that'll be the most interesting result anyways)

Thinking back to my lecture notes I wouldnt have expected that result, since Insertion sort has the potential to be better and the worst cases are equal

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insertion_sort
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_sort

But uh yea... so apparently selection sort takes less swaps on average

Logging all operations could be interesting for your experiments^^

North Africa and Levant was a trip to watch (some maps) back
Turns out im completely clueless when it comes to Mena

Like the roster a lot on paper

Unironically feels like a DACH/Spain team in terms of construction. But Id expect them to struggle in a similar manner - consistent (-ly good) throughout the entire year but there will always be multiple other "lesser" teams that are on an absolute heater and beat them (in Challengers EMEA).

Now time to watch a team of 5 random premier players somehow humiliate all the big projects

Somewhat surprised to see VR2 out so early; decent roster on paper
At least Samo Jeni are doing well. Gotta support the dach boys^^

100%
Just went back and did another one while working part time after I found out that Id be miserable otherwise

(Should note that they're only playing for a slot in the closed qual and that one then qualifies teams to N//E swiss)

Was nice having quite a few players stream their POVs
Looking forward to see if we have a repeat of a open qual team making it past the closed quals, but impossible to tell with how one sided games were ngl (bo1s in a nutshell)

There are a TON of tools website owners have at their disposal to create a digital ID on you, so its hard to say

Wikipedia has a pretty nice introductory overview of some of the most common tools https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_fingerprint#Sources_of_identifying_information

Given how easy it is to create alts, I would guess that VLR only uses IP and a simple tracking method like cookies
But purely a (hopeful, cause some of that shit is creepy) guess

Ok, but im not calling you a gooner when I call you a wanker

Its very similar to last years m8 roster in terms of potential
Similarly to that roster, it would be very surprising to see them make playoffs
But ey it is possible at least

Gotta cheer for Al0 ofc, but man I anticipate this gonna be a rough season
Survived being an apeks fan so surely it cant get worse

not really
fun to watch, but DACH has no audience in valorant atm

nah DACH's viewership is pathetically low
only beats out the 2 dead regions (Mena and North//East) in EMEA afaik

Big linux is calling

ye thats the whole thing
depending on what you define as "flight" youre gonna get so many different results

bro just wants to get out of uni

Its gonna depend on your definition (and gl creating one)
My issue with calling t1 a super team is that its just an existing team adding a player

That makes the super teams boring since youll have a ton of them per year
NRG is a super team (4 Champs winners + one of the hottest emea players of 2025)
PRX is a super team (4 Master winners + one of the most consistent pacific players of all time)
T1 is a super team (4 Master winners + one of the most accomplished players of 2024)
and so on

Basically every team that wins an international is going to create a super team on the next change, as long as they dont fully implode.
And if you count previous years' winners too that list is gonna grow very quickly as rosters shuffle over time.

For me super team is much more about ambition, and changing 1 player is nowhere near ambitious as Vit or Lev's roster; despite both of them having a very significantly higher chance to not work out.

Id pretend to be surprised but yea
Last years format was rough for t2, but this year is gonna be lethal for the big orgs ngl

Its a shame, Id love to have seen em in t1 eventually, but Riot clearly doesnt value them, so its better to focus resources on games where they have a larger presence

Hope the new format is gonna be good enough for them to return next year, but I wont hold my breath

not any more sus than any of the others are
all conversations will be saved and (depending on the topic) scraped for relevant information for future training regardless of where you go

ya gotta host locally if you want a non sus one... but gl finding that gpu

Fair, but (at least the start, idk if it fell apart later on) was fun af to read

Ya gotta chose someone more controversial for that smh
Bro was below average in terms of atrocities committed for authoritarian rulers at the time

(Though he did lay some good groundwork for his successors)

The article is a wild read x.x
Fully get why they have to be as harsh as they were with how hard it is to prevent matchfixing... but also this is a killing blow for ban

No ones gonna tell them shit anymore if the "less severe" punishment is already enough to end your entire career

I thought this was gonna be a joke post
The fact that theres actual debates going on is... worrying?

I get being protective of something you love, but dont take the fun out of relationships?
Why make a rule that now means you can't bring your SO to stuff you enjoy with your friends, and your SO cant take you.
Making each others life worse by isolating yourselves from existing friends isnt gonna help anyone.
This isnt the 1900's anymore, ya dont have to be married by the age of 20. You can wait and find someone who you actually like.

Not sure why exactly youre having that much of an issue with it, but the sooner you learn vim the better regardless

Hope Zed catches up soon, but Nvim will always work till then

They are now

Fuck this I’m going to Neovim

Bro wtf is that article x.x
Like its just worthless information up until the last 4 paragraphs

It is understood that Naveed Akram was previously investigated over ties to a Sydney-based IS terrorism cell, ABC reported.
[...]
However, at the time, an "assessment was made that there was no indication of any ongoing threat or threat of him engaging in violence".

Why tf write an entire article aimed at idiots racially profiling people, only to hide the actual information at the end

what dots had to be connected for this to happen

Money
Mini pretty upfront about trying to profit from his experience, while he still can (without having to go back to fulltime coaching)

What are you talking about specifically?
Kbs would indicate network usage, but that wouldnt lag your pc

Regardless, check out the reddit and give the issue your having a search there
If no ones posted/gotten help yet, give em a post
More likely to find people familiar with discords quirks there

The definition just doesnt work
Easy example would be FNC 2025.
This team is not a super team (not that anyone claimed), but it would satisfy your criteria (4 incredibly established players and 1 promising)

Dont think an objective system is ever gonna hold up, since super teams are so heavily tied to fan expectations.

thats cause theyre trying to improve the team though, no?
or did I miss a rumor that he's being bought by someone else

EF isnt gonna just let go of their players xD

Sometimes money speaks ykwim

And theres your problem.
Look at TLA's region
No org is gonna pay to commit financial suicide by giving up their slot in a better region to (hopefully, since spots dont transfer with rosters) get into N//E

eeeeh
inconsistent in terms of potential, but has had a rough go of things in officials
He's gonna be joining as an IGL though, and TLA were decent/good in that department last year

He's a player -> coach -> player and that (at least to me) seems to summaries him very well
Smart, but unfortunately not mechanically gifted compared to the current t2/t1 level
