I agree with you partially, the thing is that south pacific outside of PRX is already very weak, same goes for SA with Loud. I think if they get chances to scrim and interact with more local t2 talent that can only be a good thing for competition, which'll mean the teams will remain at their current levels, if not get any better.

I agree that players should be open to criticism for their performances, but in most cases like this I feel like this kind of performance is only a part of the picture when it comes to the type of people who dogpile on players. I think some people just don't like to see others being happy ngl
thats my take atleast maybe someone else would think differently

VCT NA
VCT SA
VCT MENA
VCT EU(+CIS)
VCT Pacific north (CN, JP, Korea)
VCT Pacific south (OCE, INDO, Malaysia etc.)
(take your pick for better names for pacific)

6 leagues means 2 teams at LAN minimum and is therefore a nice number to work with
I'd honestly be down for this even if it meant lower production quality across the 4 we have now

yeah such a fun happy go lucky personality sucks to see him sad
hopefully they come back better

defo wouldnt mind, tbh might even be the best move considering the pool excl. t2 (i dont really watch t2)

4th place isn't very bad at all
they did throw by not changing strats but they complained multiple times about not having enough time between tournaments, and im inclined to believe them cuz other teams at champs said the same i believe

in my opinion, I think first replace elmapuddy, if then they STILL continue to have trouble, then maybe replace boaster for next year

what happened I just got home :(

Scrimming IRL

Top 3 atleast. You can argue for .2 between yay
But aspas has proven more thus far

id guess probably not, maybe a bit. cuz what else would he expect after their recent performances

oh look at you mr big man over here throwing the word delusional out there because it has more than 3 syllables

also here's the definition of criticism:
'the expression of disapproval of someone or something on the basis of perceived faults or mistakes.'

exactly fr. criticism can be valid but u gotta feel bad for the person on the receiving end of it too

right after their game with EG

I believed last year, but don't trust them to not choke in playoffs again. I will have to see to believe this time around

idk I don't do bio so I can't comment, it's just random stuff like free radical substitution and vegetable oil to biodiesel which I find super annoying, the rest of it is pretty good since it's just memorisation in my experience.

What exam board are you doing for chem, I'm doing AQA and I wanna raze ult my self cuz of the random bs they sprinkle in

insert physics is the language of the universe ahh reply here

I agree but I think that's super unlikely now
I'd assume that they want equal amount of LANS in each region
so going with that logic 1/2 of the tournaments will be in Pacific/China

in the past you couldve watched the rebroadcast, so no reason to assume otherwise this time

anyone else cooked for tomorrow

Yeah, I agree. It's just that I trust aspas to have those kind of performances more often given his track record

1. PRX
2. FNC
3. 100T
4. FUT
5. LEV
6. GENG
7. EDG
8. G2
9. TH
10. T1
11. FPX
12. DRG

might have to explain geng, I think s3xture is good but to me it seemed like his performance was kinda overshadowing some core flaws in GENG's gameplay which might show if his performance isnt reproduced. Also Chinese teams are low cuz i dont watch CN
so did I cook or nah

do they know

nope no chance look at what he did on wildcats

Yes I agree it is fun to watch
and there are way more ranked players than pros, or even vct viewers

u gotta admit -breeze is a W even if they trolled with split

I read somewhere that is gonna be completely underground
but I hope they don't make the map completely based off a gimmick, I just want a normal tac shooter close quarters kinda map

I bought all of them (im stupid)

Viper is overcooked imo, current 1 molly is good

Astra I like the ult change, I think the pull thing adds too much complexity

Clove I like the ult change, but the orb change would make them too much like an initiatior imo, I think increasing the radius and range would be good

Brim good changes

Harbour agree (stay inside the cove)

Skye I think she's in a good state rn wouldn't change anything

Fade I like the idea, but maybe just make it a snapshot like one ping of Cypher ult if they're inside the range, the trail would be super annoying to code so probably more trouble than its worth ngl

Breach only the stun thing is nice, otherwise you did not cook here my friend

Chamber headhunter isn't the issue at all, this is too complex its as simple as 2 traps imo

Deadlock yeah solid

Sage, nah 2 full hp heals is broken I think a good change would be 3 slow orbs (probably reduce duration a bit)

Iso yeah this, also make his model not distracting asf. Maybe only let the ult go once more

Phoenix yeah good, I would want the molly to go a bit further and last a bit longer considering it's his signature

Yoru Yeah except the clone, also make the thing not count down before the barrier goes down

cool, will be back to collect my 10

context and logic??? on vlr??!??!!
no way

T3nz

idk I feel like that's recency bias talking ngl
if we weight recent performance that much FNS shouldn't be that high (cuz he hasn't played) and munchkin and redgar shouldnt be on the list
I don't have to explain redgar
and in Pacific GENG looked like a shell of their madrid and kickoff self, with the IGLing defo lacking, making it so they basically had to rely on sexture go kill to get far in playoffs

i think shift mr falin, boo and valyn down for johnqt for number 7
mostly cuz of how good M80 looked last year. valyn is close but i think sen's results put him just above

i will no longer be talking

damn, he's easily one of EMEA's best players so that sucks to see

bro got violated

sounds good, so long as theres a valid warning like KJ ult to clear the radius
also I think the wall should be less annoying to place, like a toggle between a + and - shaped wall would be nice

Olympics? is there a link to this

yeah I agree honestly

I think when it comes to Ethan and Chet the one responsible for the comp assignments should be way less favourable to stay
I think cutting them both is a bit much tho ngl their anti-strat wasnt really bad and even the comps couldve been atleast neutral if not a net positive if on the right players

Right now the rumours are that marved is cut but I think almost anyone has the potential to go

Demon1 (understandably) underperforming, but orgs are businesses which attract investors by performance at the end of the day
Ethan igl responsibility
Crashies defo a low in his career so far
Victor shines sometimes but nothing special, imo is the least likely, maybe alongside Ethan if there's a coaching change
Chet coaching responsibility

FNC batchest

I wonder how many more BLG bundles were bought just cuz of the incident

Astra Viper Jett Sova Kayo

global util, dive entry, recon and flashes

maybe a bit weak on defence

hello

Is it confirmed he was dropped?
or is it possible he wanted to explore elsewhere and asked to be let go

agree with the players but not the order
forsaken should be in HM and sexture should be on the list

if someone is being an ass, which is like once every 3 games

Just when the cooking was becoming perfect
