yes but I have higher hopes for T1 this year. i hope people aren't sleeping on munchkin and meteor finally reuniting after 2024.

yeah you're right. the pacific region has only become stronger in the last 2 years and with 3 teams now that have WON international tournaments before DRX, i see them getting pushed out of that top 3 top 4 position in pacific for the first time since the start of franchising. PRX is obviously going to be better - invy was the best thing that ever came out of TS and now he is on a team that supports his high impact playstyle. T1 is a sleeper pick for best in the region this year imo, and I think this will be the year where they consistently prove themselves as the best korean team of the year. you can never count GENG out when they have a very strong core around texture and karon, and lakia can give them some structure that was lost with munchkin's departure. imo, the ex talon roster on full sense will finally show up as that consistent top team in the region, pushing DRX out of that top 4 spot in pacific. But like I said, DRX will gatekeep the international tournament spots - if you beat DRX, you have a very good shot of making it to the international tournaments, and i expect them to be fighting for that last slot at every stage in 2026.

he wouldn't have been the only player to survive 3 different complete roster reshuffles on DRX if he was washed. trying to find a good way to slander mako will be hard because he has been consistent for far too long to be called "washed". The way I see it, he will either end his career on DRX (highly likely at this rate) or get picked up by another korean franchising team (i don't see this happening). for him to get dropped, he would have to break both of his wrists and retire from pro valorant. I promise that this isn't glaze, it's just my evaluation of mako over the last 4 years of his pro career. If even termi, the guy who can't go a single season without crashing out on his roster anymore, keeps mako on as the only remnant of the old roster, he has to be worth something even now in his igl low impact phase of his career.

I used to be but now I just support the team for mako. And I find it sad that one of korea's best talents was wasted on a trophyless team that chokes and crumbles all the time. I've been a DRX fan since before most of you guys on vlr ever started watching pro valorant but this team has let me down so many times. I really thought things would change when I saw how good flashback was, but now he is retired and this team will go back to gatekeeping the international tournament spots and bombing out when they make it far. I still want them to do well and hope that they will, but I am done deluding myself into thinking that this team will achieve much in the future.

I really didn't expect flashback to be the first player that DRX drove into retirement. I was certain that mako would have started and ended his career on DRX before anyone else. Well, looks like DRX will be back on another 2 year throw streak before getting third in champions 2028 now.

Fair enough. But it depends how high you rate them. They are still third or fourth best in the region despite everything. Hyunmin and flashback will hard carry them against most teams. However another champs 25 performance at any international next year is mere wishful thinking. Mako isn't a good enough igl for that and freeing would have to go tejo mode for them to get close off raw firepower.

I wasn't born in a hospital
I've dislocated both my knees
I have perfect vision

For real, I literally quit the game after failing to beat the failed champion, the dream boss of the false Knight. I don't want to clear the game before getting voidheart but the dream bosses are so tough but I need to kill them to upgrade the dream nail 😭.

I was going to get E33 but it's still so much money and idk if I'm ready to spend that much rn

1.2 2200 dpi, gold 2 but I stopped playing for a long time.

Well the only way it gets harder is with the practical aspect. In the UK, in my final year of medical school, I have to do an exam (which is just pass or fail btw) to graduate which is split into the theory, called the akt, and the practical test, called OSCEs. For the theory part, everyone just spams question banks and flashcards to pass that easily. the practical half is where most people stumble because you get tested on interacting with patients who are either acting or have real medical conditions so you need to do everything right to get good marks on that. It's quite stressful, from what I've heard. I'm only on my second year out of five but all my exams, including my final theory exam, are all multiple choice. However, the theory section on the ukmla is way way way easier than any of the steps for the usmle, to make a comparison. Step 2 of the usmle is a much harder version of the applied knowledge test in the ukmla. As far as coursework and stuff goes, I will have some stuff next term and in later years where I have to do projects involving clinical research or quality improvement but apart from that, it's not very challenging. Overall, right now, things are very easy. The hardest parts right now are getting sign offs done on clinical placements and doing daily reflection/engagement logs. But it will get harder once more is expected from us, either in our practical skills (being given more responsibilities or roles on placements) or with how much we need to know.

gang this is MEDICAL SCHOOL in the UK! isnt that crazy? also its a university ranked top 10 in the country ;-;

i dont have exams and hardly any coursework I am marked on, and EVERY exam and piece of work is marked as pass or fail. It doesnt even matter how well I do. Also my exams in january are formative so they dont matter at all to my grade at the end of the year.

texture and yay korean bbq mukbang for a GENG valorant content video perhaps?

winter is nice because my city has beautiful lights and christmas is a big thing here so everyone feels "festive". it was way better when I was younger and we would have like christmas parties and christmas dinners in school but now i just enjoy the vibes. i like being wrapped up in a hat and scarf, with gloves and a long trench coat. It feels so cosy. the sun rises so late that my commute to university is when the sun is rising so it feels so nice, and the sun sets earlier which gives me an excuse to sleep early and makes the night feel longer, which is nice when I am at home. going out in the dark is so comforting too because it never gets that cold here, so as long as I am wrapped up, it feels comfortable. sometimes it is bad when I wake up and its freezing but otherwise winter has nice vibes. spring is still the best season though.

in americas, I am hatewatching C9 and MIBR (how dare they drop my goat cortezia smh smh)
pacific: PRX, TS, GE
EMEA: VIT
last one is irrelevant

im not here to coddle idiots and baiters anymore.

you dont get to decide what I find funny

no they are called cells because everything inside is contained by the boundaries of the cell. cell just means a space enclosed by something. why do they call batteries cells? because they store potential and charge within them. why are prison cells called cells? because they have prisoners within them. just like how brain cells contain components of the cells within them.

meteor munchkin reunited, i only expect great things from this team despite b0zz and st0x still being on the team. please can we now drop stax for someone else now that T1 has an actual igl and a good midrounder??

hes just a hoe for Big Beautiful Bill

ok lets go.
edit i see applications have closed. what a travesty, i was really looking for an excuse to add another team/player to my long list of "vibes hatewatching". basically if they dont vibe w me i hatewatch them. its a very simple system!

0/8 I dare you to ban me

Nrg is an actual powerhouse now. Keiko is insane

if you have been working there for more than 6 months, start looking for interviews elsewhere at other jobs is what I would recommend. you won't be happy if you work there for a long time.

diamonds are created under extreme pressure after all

helps when studying.
edit: i have never played the game in my life

What if guild signed twisten for 2022 EMEA LCQ? would they have been picked up as a 5 for franchising or picked apart instead like most teams were?

this is why i LOVE university. i can just choose to not go in! its wonderful, and it is almost certainly ruining my education. but at least i get to stay at home on mondays! i better enjoy it, because the job i have waiting for me when i graduate will feel like literal hell has descended upon me.

i started playing a bit more chamber and im trying out veto but vyse is still my go to senti on maps like abyss and lotus.

and yet RRQ flopped at champs and PRX lost to the very comp you claim they created. either you are admitting that they got team diffed or DRX just revolutionized the way the comp is played. so, which is it? is DRX individually better than PRX or are their strats way more refined?

why has no one called out the fact that this entire post is literally a copy paste from chatgpt? if we keep going like this, no one is actually going to be able to write or read writing from actual humans within the next decade.

i watched good will hunting the other day for the first time and it was genuinely such an incredible film. i didnt even realize that the movie is almost a decade older than me until after i finished watching it.

where is the money. PAY UP! its been almost one year. maybe you were waiting for the 1 year timer to end to pay us. you have 2 days left.

Incest art online is definitely not better than one piece. Also the one piece manga clears all of these mangas

Do you realise that the notsees made incredible advances in science and technology? Did that justify the genocide of eastern European Jews? I don't think so at all. It's the same with genghis, semantics aside.

august

You have to ragebait him about Spanish teams and VCL Spain for him to react. He really doesn't actually care about anything else like that

FDWC seems like a good candidate for vlr goat. He literally made 10 different accounts and got them all over 1000 posts within a couple of months. He had an insane run

I'm going to go to masters London. I'm quite excited about iy

BRO ITS REALLY NOT THAT DEEP what??? where is this coming from?? please sort out whatever issues you have goin on. name flag and flair all check out. also thanks for not answering my question - lakia has struggled with this injury for an insanely long amount of time. he has taken extended breaks from the game in the past too. he has had surgeries for this injury. how long are we going to go before we stop using it as an excuse? is the injury healed now? is he back to his early 2021 form, when he was a top 3 korean player and the best korean initiator of that year? tell me honestly instead of insulting my IQ and my flag. why does this trigger you so much? are you unable to have an honest conversation about it? why do we think his performance will be different now, considering how much it has impacted him. yes, he has been off pro valorant for a whole year. is that enough time for his injury to heal? and if you think it is, how do you know? is there information that you have that I don't that explains this, or is it all headcanon?

some other recommendations of specifically black women who i think are unbelievably good looking are lupita nyongo and sza. i also have a huge crush on lupita, i think she is so cool

Lara raj is so beautiful. I have a huge crush on her

Can we get some diversity in this list? Like, unless I'm mistaken, they are all white or white passing! It's ok to have a type but some women of colour out there honestly break the scale when it comes to rating their beauty.

I'm so employed that I'm both a student AND self employed (on a technicality but whatever) !!!

Mako :(

The most pointless thing I can do is only ever remember one instruction when one person gives me two instructions simultaneously.

The most pointless thing I know is that the Field of The Cloth of Gold was a meeting spanning 2 weeks between the king of France and king Henry VIII in June of 1520 to show off the extravagance and wealth of the two countries and their monarchs, essentially a dick measuring competition if you wanted to call it that. This included festivities such as feasts, and even featured a jousting and wrestling match between the two monarchs. This was seen as a great success for foreign policy for England, and particularly for thomas wolsey, the advisor to the king from 1510 to 1529. This was following a peace treaty called the treaty of London signed 2 years prior to this summit where France and England, plus a few other minor states, signed a universal alliance - a peace treaty that declared the countries will defend each other if one was attacked and they would not fight each other. This failed very quickly and catastrophically in 1521, when Spain declared war on France, and England was forced to choose a side. England chose to side with Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor but also King of Spain, because Henry VIII was still married to Charles' aunt, Catherine of Aragon, thus causing the treaty of London to collapse in the worst way possible.

Is this the same wrist injury that has plagued his entire valorant career since the end of 2021? How did it heal now all of a sudden after years of on and off playing pro valorant?

I'm not going to get philosophical but the actual phrase "do nothing" really means "do nothing meaningful" as in nothing that does anything to directly impact you or other people in the short term. So sitting on a chair or lying down in bed all day doesn't change your physical situation at all in the short term from the action of lying down or sitting down all day. That turns into something if, let's say you get paid for lying down all day, so that directly provides benefit, but still, unless the actual specific action of lying down all day makes you money, you are still doing nothing because you could be using your time doing something else that directly impact you in the short term other than lying down in bed all day. If that makes sense.

chronicle goat because 3 trophies? including champions so he is the best player and vit will be the best team with him, right??
