esports is an entirely different thing, there's not many women who are invested in getting really good and rather are just having fun, and even less who are in high elo and want to compete or have the time to. I know some personally who are good at the game but just don't have drive to compete, and when things are already skewed for nb/women, it makes it much worse off for the GC scene. On to of that, the GC scene is having problems with personalities and people on their own, and there's no reason for some women to compete in those scenes over tier 3, dreaming of tier 2 and skipping GC entirely.
yeah generally. It applies to every sport because if you're taking from a much smaller pool of people, you're not going to get as much star talent. (gaming/sports is generally dominated by men, especially esports)
Honestly it's just that they need to work on their map pool. I'm happy they bombed because they definitely need the time to figure out what they want to do on Haven, Abyss, Ascent. I think if they took a day or two off practice and then put focus on what made them so good (good spacing and communication on top of their aim), they can regain their momentum and regain focus on patching their weaker maps while strengthening the already stronger ones on comms and spacing alone.
I think the whole point is that Reyna prevents you from playing the game at times
"They don't deserve to go btw" but loud apparently does LMFAO
I think if I was big into anti meta maybe. But some of these comps are just... wow. And the not calling any timeouts against drx... and the tweets about saving it for next year while FS still had a good chance at playoffs and champs... none of that interests me if I'm an org owner. It doesn't feel like a winning culture.

Yeah I mean maybe they're like 10x cheaper than going to a Knicks game tho
I mean cloud9 was also like that no? 2023 failed superteam, 2024 pretty okay despite the crazy roster moves, 2025/6...
https://youtu.be/1mI5PzmzhwI their views on youtube are looking like EG LMFAO
100% agree. You better be watching me in swiss next year.
Honestly wish that these tier two teams were all eligible to play at champs, I would be much more excited to see kozzy and kachoww in champs than anything else
Is anyone going to take a chance on sonofcar next year? Swear the guy has been next up forever. Hopefully an EMEA team takes him if no one else will
nobody uses the american in gc even if they're the most american ever
other than jdg fut edg prx
Oh and ALSO sentinels DIED this patch which only made duelists so much stronger. I truly believe if DRX ran their yoru waylay neon BS at kickoff they'd have won Santiago. They're just 2 events too slow.
11.08 was ridiculous ngl. I thought maybe it would force teams to pick and choose carefully about what is face checked and what is cleared by util, but we didn't nerf the duelists or Omen enough to even make that the case. Instead everything is trapped by flashes or full fought for at the start of the round, making the game extremely streamlined for every team. That on top of ruining team identities by requiring two duelists, stun unification killing agents for no reason (and buffing Neon), Omen STILL being extremely broken to the point where not running him on every map is ridiculous, cooldowns making the average game so much less fun... I wish I could just burn this patch down to the ground it was so horrible. At LEAST the changes made to spray patterns was a good change. But that's it.
NYC pizza is better than any other kind of pizza. Italy also doesn't have the new york Knicks
Zikz today mentioned your 100 page icebox post
sorry catface, the big AURA temper is taking it home
im feeling the freaking ora
Getting a rework since summit and corrode are the same map word for word bar for bar except A is opened up instead of being in a building
Gen.G got into their 2nd prime just for this moment.
Feel the ora temper stream not existing...
FEEL THE ORA
Why not pick sunset? Loud need to vod 100t and be confident in their ability to take their map no?
Don't remove the slide just make it walking accuracy tbh
Fade is super strong and only gets more play because nobody even cares to run a sentinel unless it's for info, no one even thinks about stopping a hit anymore. Viper WOULD be a great counter if Phoenix got shot in the Bronx (twice...) tomorrow.
I think it's really telling that sentinels don't have counterplay to Neon + trip break (raze, sova, whoever). You mean to tell me Neon gets to bypass ALL sentinel util, stun the getaway so the senti is stuck, meanwhile scan finds a player and then Neon gets to take an advantageous fight with perfect information? That's just okay? Sentinels are supposed to feel good defending a site against a hit with only 2 agents necessary to remove them from the round?
Neon is fun to watch if you're always rooting for the neon but if you're not then it's just flat out annoying
Kinda feel like both need to happen to some extent. Neon is fun to watch but for everyone else playing it's a nightmare. Imagine setting up a perfect trap with tons of util and then a Neon player sees the trap happening and stuns the timing of the peek that punishes the trapped player, you just waste all your util for a neon to stun your peek and run away. Just annoying. That on top of the entry power and the passive ability breaking rotate timings... she's still just way too strong
2026 has the worst meta to watch and play in by far, if you win pistol congrats you've won the half because Phoenix ult eco. Get 4 ults per game and guarantee rounds. Outlaw is still so unhealthy. They gave that gun a slap on the wrist like it's jeff bezos getting a speeding ticket. So eco rounds are harder to convert, buy rounds have you playing a 5v6, all because you lost a 50/50 round. Yeah no wonder VCT feels like ass to watch. And neon is STILL too strong.
I agree and I'm so fucking sick of the double duelist neon +1 meta, this entire year it's yoru neon or waylay neon or phoenix neon; the Initiator buffs cannot take this fucking long to stop a single filipina and her friends. The start of this year was even more cancer cause it's just shotguns everywhere but thank God those things are in a way healthier spot now. I just can't believe we are continuing to nerf good kits but we fucking hate buffing other characters, so people just bounce to the next most potent kit instead of looking at a new version of a previously weak kit. It makes the game so stale, what do you mean Phoenix is a META pick? TenZ patch highkey fucked this game.
like a 5/10 shots are nice just need to 1 tap them
