Feels that way, but fuck it, I'm here for the show

Oooofh

LEOOOOOO

cus aim ain't related to form.

bro, i was about to say. "to anyone unaware of Russ on duelist, watch this game" and you posted it.

In that first map he was totally disgusting haha.

This is the SMB i wanted at Masters 3. They're just scary as hell when they're in this form.

Russz's Aim can just ruin so many teams plans lol

I couldn't agree more. It blows my mind to see teams looking for fair fights in tac shooters like Valorant. I was impressed with the amount of doubling up and combining from GE.

PRO TIP:

Don't take what retards on VLR.GG say seriously (even if they think they're right). Your quality of life will improve massively.

Perhaps. Nukkye on Reyna instead of Skye might work, but his flashes were gaining alot of info in mid during mid rounds.

that's not a good take. Keloqz was clearly having quite bad day with the amount of whiffed Op shots, these things happen from time to time for every single player. And despite that they still won the series 2-0. Not 2-1

it's not, but ty for your input.

Howcome the lack of imminent franchising means more orgs will be leaving? From my understasnding, franchising in TLDR terms is pay to play for orgs and is looked at as a prohibitive thing for "lesser" regions. Can you explain pls?

hahaha xD

yO......you good? :D

I like this take, but the major flaw in it is that none of these teams bar 100T have played any officials in a long time.

So unless 100T are super confident that XSET are running the same stuff from months ago, their prep is void.

All teams are going into this somewhat blind, so really, anything can happen.

This sucks bad.

Champions is in Dec, and there's fuck all happening in November right? Couldn't Riot have opted push this LCQ back by just a few weeks?

While I agree with you on COVID not actually being the real issue here.

You must remember, it's not riot's objective to ensure that they create the most competetive tournament possible by having the best teams in the world. They want viewership and growth, so no matter how weak teams from India, Japan or wherever else may be, their viewer numbers destroy OCE.

It is a shame and RIOT did F up in terms of helping these 2 teams head over to NA. There is probably also some blame to be put on the orgs also, I can't help but think if they took some matters into their own hands (finances permitting of course), that this mess could have been navigated much sooner.

they will be bootcamping somewhere in europe. I heard either somewhere in EU or Turkey.

Not when you factorin riot "talent". I,e the casters and analysts etc who have to break everything down for the viewers in a specific language.

I like all teams and most of you are a bunch of soft, overinvested snowflakes who care too much. /thread

clown lol

haha. some dream team.

Though, i reckon they'll do fine in UCL. they are big game players and their egos won't let them get destroyed by any other top tier team.

Which team are currently the top EMEA female squad? I'm not too familiar with that side of things yet. I'll be paying attention to GC now.

Yeah man, mine too. But unfortunately it's hard to justify him in the current meta. Hopefully they come out with some cool buffs

Yeah, I wouldn't mind that once in a while, start of a new circuit would be the best time to do it. something to really disrupt the scene.

They could drop an epic lore cinematic for both at the grand final of champions.

on an unrelated note. I still can't get over the fact that SMB went to berlin and only played 1 official vs team from another region and played Acend twice who they've probably also scrimmed a bazillion times. what a boring turn of events of them.

regardless of how they played, that's such a shitty draw haha.

2022 will launch with 2 new agents in the first act.

1. Increase flash time by half a second maybe.

2. Allow him to cancel his ult by pressing X again. If you cancel, you keep your current position instead of reverting back to where you first casted it.

This creates a situation where opponents either respect the ult and give up space (which you can keep if you cancel in time without dying)

Or a situation where the opponents decide to not give up space and fight the ult. If they defeat you, you still gain value by having done damage /learned opponent positioning, but with minimal risk because you returned to your original spot which is currently the case.

And maaaybe don't lose all armour after run it back. returning with maybe 25 shield would be cool.

Phoenix is already a great agent, the issue is his competition is tough from jett raze and reyna.

Good stuff. But correction. Russz and Cned are not teammates. They just both happen to be Turkish.

Simple. You handle your commitments first, have fun later. The more experienced you get, you'll know how to balance it better.

Think about the impact of not handling your commitments at the right. Also don't rely on motivation. Motivation gets you started, discipline keeps you going.

You'll have time for both anyway, just stay on top of your commitments.

ignore him. You'll hear alot of people saying that, but don't talk to people about it, you'll just end up with spoilers or unneeded biases. So as a new watcher, just watch it with an open mind and form your own opinion. I personally think it's great start to finish.

no im agreeing with you haha. onliners in an online event. how do you think it's gonna go, they're in their element.

Brasilian backing.

I respect it

online event........

You just called the Grand Final of Champions

Sheeesh. People must really hate Indians on VLR bro.

Compare you downvotes with the comment above xD xD

My Non Obvious Picks For Different Types of Anime Fan:

1. If you like the shounen, naruto'esque type shit. -> Stop what you're doing and go watch Thunderbolt Fantasy. You won't be disappointed

2. If you HATE shit like naruto bleach and you're interested in action but without kids saving the world -> Berserk or Castlevania

3. If you like more "grounded" themes that don't involve fantasy -> 91 Days

4. If you want the perfect marriage of sci-fi + anime -> Legend of the galactic heroes (die neue these) or Hero Mask or Psychopass

You're welcome my friends

see below. accidental double post

one of the best live action adaptations too.

10000%

Not my favorite, but it's high up in my list. but man i love this show so much. I'm due to rewatch it soon actually.

10x better than the teenage boys saving the world type shows people love. each to their own though!

I don't know if this is the stuff of dreams, but I would very much like this!

Apart from the Strike Arabia winner. It's the best chance either team has for an upper bracket W to be fair.

Actually it makes sense from a seeding perspective.

May not be the most entertaining. But it is the most fair.

The problem with you is that your clouded brain won't allow you to see that the presence of RNG doesn't mean an absence of skill.

Whatever education system you're a part of has thoroughly failed your ability to think objectively, and it'll hold you back in life.

"Imagine pros with 1 year of experience going against players with no experience. You will get shit on. Getting shit on = No gained experience. This cycle hence continues."

Like 18 year old Gambit winning a tournament against players who have played in countless regional A tier CS lans and a few majors....OK son. And that's besides the point. It's not riot's job to make sure teams don't get obliterated by major regions at tournaments. It's their job to ensure that they penetrate as many markets as possible and grow the playerbase. If riot wanted the game to be as competitive as possible. There would ONLY BE NA AND EMEA TEAMS AT LAN. PERIOD.

Yeah, perhaps the pro scene will suffer in the SHORT TERM. But there are going to be players and orgs who will supersede the current people who get dropped / defunded or whatever the case may be.

Also. Dead the narrative that Riot isn't supporting your region. I already mentioned above in replying to the guy who used Valve as an example, that Riot has shown WAY more support in year 1 of valorant for India. All of you who are complaining because India only has 1 LCQ spot must have blindfolds on. How is a dedicated tournament with first party funding considered ignoring???? You're smoking crack, respectfully.

They're not "spoon feeding" the other regions, it's called wise investing. The game is obviously going to generate more revenue in regions such as EU CIS NA TR, because these regions are proven to be hyper lucrative in esports. And SIMULTANEOUSLY they have already shown investment in minor regions like India/SA.

"esports wasn't that big"

LOL. I guess you're 10 years old. stay on your meds weirdo

ah i get it, you're beyond help. have a nice day. and set your alarm for your meds.

kinda true but so what. valorant is hot right now
