Honestly nerfs justified for viper. Going to probably end up jett nerf in effect. Will pull back some playtime on the less required maps (e.g. fracture, haven) and claw back some of the impact on must pick maps e.g. less post plant pressure on bind and icebox. Might need a second controller for some maps you could get by with just viper but either way you can't have a kit as unique and valuable as viper and not still be viable.

I got no idea how good bro is at val but MN3 was a bit of a weapon in Overwatch

Lowkey can't wait to see MN3 little bro Carpe again. Man's just following his career choice 1 for 1 at this point.

You forgot instant dash away Jett. Man's really a get out of jail free card merchant

I remember seeing something about their building constantly getting ddos attacked and its was drastically hitting the LCK teams practice and solo queue. If it was the internet that was getting nuked was it also an issue for the Val roster?

sounds good an all but like I feel like a fix they could actually just do tomorrow is just swap polvi for bazzi. Bazzi duelist on the right day was putting all of KR in its place. Surely someone with a 1/5 god game is better than 0/5 good games

Ok but like is Heat playing kayo or like is keznit playing, both kinda feel like a waste.
Or are we getting heat jett for jett maps and keznit raze for raze maps with the other filling when they're not on the main entry?

Bros an Aussies, Hawaiian pizza is just Aussie culture

You won't do a shoe of half VB long neck and half warmed butter milk. Footy boots preferred, gym shoes if needed (someone elses if necessary)

High key, this one aged like milk

Honestly, yall really do be sleeping on quality Aussie pub food. Nothing hits like a counter meal at a good country pub.

Mixed Grill, Based
Chicken Parma, Gods gift to food (ps if you order order mash and veg instead of chips and salad your citizenship is about to disappear)
Surf and turf, Need I say more
Aussie Pizza, yall about to yap and say its Italian but I'm pretty sure nona would cry if she saw a bbq chicken pizza or a fully loaded meatlovers from the local
Beer batter fish and chips, Poms wish the could make food this good

All that served with a pint for less than the cost of a meal at maccas, Aussie pubs are the peak

I mean, carpe has never missed a Valorant lan in his career, I believe in the fish

Currently ruining 1 am OCE unrated with a fair few beers and couple shots of jack in the system. Anyone else enjoy a bit of sauced up Valorant?

rng was 7th highest on points, only rare atom and ase had more circuit points. I assumed they were a lock but I guess the disband must have hit when the org learned they weren't getting a full partnership?

Can someone explain to me why LDG, Royal Never Give Up, Top Esports and Weibo didn't qualify for ascension when teams that finished bellow them on China Evolution Series points did?

Cracked off season into mid vct is the most on brand Sen move to be fair

Theres a surprisingly large number of pros with cheating in their history. Long story shot kids do dumb things. I mean babybay got vac banned mid match and has been a pro in 2 games since.

From an Overwatch fan just be happy they aint kiddy fidlers or groomers. Cough Cough Aspire, DreamKasper, Mouffin

That pretty legit

Sounds like he's partially medically retired due to laser eye surgery complications. Unfortunate that

How much the Brazilian fans going to scape goat that Pancada would solve every problem?

Depends if your going base camping or hiking. I recommend you start out base camping with a few day hikes then transition to full hiking trips. Gives a bit more comfort at camp and a fair bit lighter pack weight if your starting off hiking. Also means you can do stuff like fishing, paddle boarding and surfing depending on where your camping

Yeah sounds like you just need the tried and tested combo of big fire, good mates and cold beer

Any of you guys big into camping, like being in rural Aus camping is such a standard thing that everyone does but I don't know whether its really popular internationally.

Also if you do go camping what kind of gear are you taking?

that's definitely an announcement they really went for the father goes out for milk and never comes back. I can respect the creativity

Noice

Lord hope for a full time chamber sentinel meta then overwise this going to get messy

I don't know, we know the players going to be from NA and we know they going to be on the same role as shy most likely (given they're the current front runners to sign aspas from what I remember of the leaks) so thats probably going to translate into either a sentinel initiator kind of role and I mean they're already willing to drop the bag on players if they want to sign Aspas. For all we know its definitely possible they're trying to secure C0M from EG

Because EMEA is sub divided into VRL leagues where you can have max 2 players from outside of the VRL play on a team I believe it was a big issue in some VRL's and caused a few teams to be forced into roster moves

Bro nationalism built esport's. 90% of what makes international competition hype is nationalism

They signed a roster with 3 Russians, a Belarusian and a Portuguese Ukrainian. With a Slovak and a chinese sub. Are they even eligible to play in any of the EMEA leagues? Did they change the roster construction rules for next season of T2? Are they reintroducing a CIS region to EMEA? Are KPI just burning money on a roster that can't compete?

Lev Saadhak would be kind of cracked for the team. I mean if the spreadsheets right about shy to Kru that would open a spot

so mate, your code ain't going to run properly, your using a char so it's not going to be able to store "no" as a response, your going to need to swap that out for a string then probably swap the logic check to something along the lines of

if (opinion [0] == 'n' && opinion [1] == 'o' && opinion [2] == '\n')

coding isn't hard, it's just mind numbing and tedious

I love uni(learning thermodynamics was actually the most fun I've had in a class since high school chem) , I just hate programming

kind of easy for dfm to take this title tbh, then again global are on track to overcook the sauce

Anyone else have a uni course that 1 programming unit that you have to do any just hate it. Like the next thing I write in C++ is going to be a message for the coroner (for legal reasons that was a joke)

Uber clears tbh

Nah mate, FIFO out of Bali I reckon, I mean it's mostly Aussies there anyway and I think it's a shorter flight from most of the mines to Bali than places like Perth and Melbourne (though double check that)

I don't think you could really make the call that his top 2 igl's in the world (I assume you mean all time because right now fns is getting grouped) given from a stats perspective there's at least 3 who should be in contention FNS, Saadhak and Boaster. They're really the only 3 with longevity and results.

Of them in game implant wise the order would be Saadhak -> Boaster -> FNS.

In terms of international results Boaster has the most with 2 international titles, Saadhak is next with a champs win then FNS with a masters win.

Consistency at big events goes to Boaster with the highest avg finishing position at s tier events ( international lans and the 2023 regional vct seasons ) of 3.88 then FNS at 4.11 then Saadhak at 4.55.

Anyway all this aside you can't order the top 3 but of them fns definitely has the smallest claim to the number 1 spot (not without some NA cope)

I don't know, I reckon Carpe probably stays on the starting roster. At least for a bit, this team is going to be very unstable if you think that there is probably role changes coming for a number of players. xcurrate is going to have to adapt to playing on a korean roster from being on a indo team. Odds are the perfect storm doesn't happen and I think you could definitely see carpe starting on smokes for next year

Kind of in the same place as last season though. Stacked roster with a lot of raw talent but someone going to changing roles which didn't exactly work out well for Ban last season

I got the title, T1 sign king and 2 more jett players

They speed writing an article about the T1 signings right now

damn that was quick

he was also the only player on a multi year deal from what I remember

I mean odds are if your G2 and see this you sign him and reunite him with the guard team he put together

there is a fair bit more too it than just how stable they were financially, though that could be the case for xset....

carpe was strait up the difference maker as to why they qualified for masters and champs and thats in his 1st season playing the game. Man went from not playing the game to flexing over like 5 agents and 2 bloody roles. Also he's really only underperformed at champs. Doesn't matter how he got the spot your trippin if you think he doesn't diff the other options

I mean I can think of a few. Depends on how you justify failed. There is a few I would say probably would be classed as failed but they were also fucking washed (or not very good to start with) overwatch players. E.G. Nus, SanSam. I think the only one that you could claim didn't achieve anything in val (long term) but was a top overwatch pro in a relevant position is probably soon, unkoe and neptuno. But then again for someone like neptuno do you really count getting the bag and placing 2nd in vlr spain at 31 years of age to be failing

imo if overwatch esports dies the needle gets moved a bit here when apac gets swarmed with the current generation of cracked out overwatch players in their prime instead of the older generation that were kind of washed when they switched (shout out saya who was benched in OWL but managed to run house through NA and APAC)
