try me

my one wish is for mako to win a damn trophy. why can't i get that?

I feel like any team that has an odin strat as a win con I'd automatically a flukey team. I love bonkar but it's been 4 years since he has competed before nrg. I need to see more if I want to count him as a non flukey coach.

Seriously? What even is a koreaboo? I'm just happy that the SEA fans will finally stop overrating the worse half of pacific.

Exactly, but at least I expected M8 and BBL to go out 1-2 in playoffs AT BEST so I don't expect much from them in the future either.

Not you whipping out the stats and spreadsheets to defend shitMEA smh

Yes. It doesn't align with my strict moral values. Perhaps if these people are raised and indoctrinated in a certain way, they are able to see past the inhumanity of the situation, but as an outsider, I simply cannot. Then again, I would be a CO in any war if I could so maybe I'm just a coward.

Fraudmea could only send 2 rookie teams who went out in record time and a team that will never make it far internationally this time. So disappointing, especially because I expected a lot more from team chokequid.

I disagree respectfully. The very nature of the IDF focuses on actively putting one group of people above another, which I think is fair to call apartheid. Even the ones who aren't "claiming" land, firing bombs and controlling drones would be at the very least enforcing systemic oppression of those who identify as palestinian. Mods I don't really want a ban, but this thread is probably coming down anyways so I will just leave my fleeting thoughts here on the issue.
Tldr: idf soldiers in any way shape or form are complicit. Also I consider this issue to be beyond simply politics

Why are we talking about something MVP when NS are going to win? We already know that even the best performances on a second place team isn't enough to win MVP (cough cough alfajer cough cough) and PRX is definitely not winning tomorrow, so why are we having this pointless discussion?

The third Korean team to win a trophy, proving Korean dominance in pacific and the world, and we all cheered.

i hate to be that guy, but the more I learn about alcohol, the more glad I am to have never touched it. But also as a future health professional, I have learned that not everyone is worried about the health risks that it carries, and I can't force a change on to anyone who does not want to or is even considering it. All I will say is that when alcohol goes through your body, it does more than just damage your liver. It changes your brain function, which in turn affects other major organs, and over long periods of time, it can alter your brain physiology to make you dependent on it and can have irreversible effects (albeit after long term heavy consumption). It increases your risk of cardiac arrhythmias, even in moderate doses. It causes liver fibrosis and eventually cirrhosis, even at moderate levels as well (at a much slower rate). it also upsets your GI system too. Even moderate levels of alcohol consumption increases risk of all kinds of cancers too, not to forget the list of diseases for which alcohol consumption is a risk factor for. At the end of the day, these are all risks, not guarantees, so if you are comfortable with the costs of alcohol and if it benefits your life more than the threat of the proposed risks, then by all means go ahead and indulge in alcohol. But it isn't fair to dismiss other people just because you want the freedom without acknowledging the consequences. I know some people are going to react very negatively to this comment, because no one really wants to hear about the negatives, let alone have it shoved down their throats in spaces where they don't expect, but I think it's worth sharing the knowledge I have about these risks, and to let people make their own informed decisions about their health, including the risks of alcohol consumption of any amount. The issue is that alcohol is very socially acceptable, so people often gloss over the risks because it's something that everyone seems to indulge in. But one thing that I think is noteworthy is that if alcohol were to be discovered today as a substance, from a medical perspective, it would not be condoned as freely as it is in society now.

that final round was actually insane. I cannot believe that any of those kills actually happened that round.

Because I live in a timezone around 1 hour behind the rest of Europe and it's almost 6am here.

Literally look at the flag. It's 6am there rn.

Lumiere from expedition 33 gets my vote. It is a perfect intro theme to the game.

Asuna: has been on 100t for half a decade now without being dropped even after some bad performances.
Sinatraa and florescent: accused of SA
Sick: mentally unwell and said some bad things on social media
JasonR: streamer who was exposed as a bigot and a racist.
Zombs: antagonised the entire region of Brazil repeatedly while on sentinels back in 2020/2021.

no wonder kaplan got booted from SEN first. wow this was clearly a terrible decision. zekken jumped ship just in time before this disaster

ok let's assume the UK is the 51st state. the FBI does not give a single shit about whether someone lives in a country like Germany or India, would they? Surely as an American you would know that the FBI deals with domestic affairs while the CIA deals with foreign intelligence, but then again the education system out there is severely lacking, so I guess I shouldn't assume anything about you guys.

Berlin glazers mind must have regressed to that of a cat's after how terribly Berlin did during kickoff. We shouldn't bully people going through a hard time.

Why would the fbi care about where I live if I live outside the US? There is an entire planet outside the US, yk?

GUILD. any iteration of the team

yeah you might be right. maybe he has an injury?

Well? What's the hold up? Get that thread started. I'm sure it will do numbers and maybe it would require some effort on your part for once

what? i cant lie fortnite is really not that hard. the only hard part is rotating. the building mechanics are really not that hard to learn. it might have a high ceiling, but thats only the best of the best

its not my fault if you think that just because i support DRX (mako), that means I have to like T1 and hate TL. smh. dont confuse my support for DRX as support for all koreans.

don't worry, tiltkin will give TL the win if he is triggered. sadly the rest of the team is very good.

prime mako was moving differently in 2022. he is still great, but he pales in comparison to his 2022 days. he was genuinely the kind of player whose site you would want to avoid hitting back then, thats how much aura he had as a site anchor on defense back then.

yeah yum yum is quite likeable. i just wish for him to return to his 2025 form, when he was tearing up the competition singlehandedly for a long time last year.

im so happy for TL! I am cheering for them to win Santiago. I like that they took a shot with one of SEA's most promising tier 2 talents in wayne and that it is paying off so well. I really want to see the best for nAts and for once I don't dislike anyone else on the team. I want miniboo's redemption arc after all the abuse he was given for not performing on TH. kamo is so good and really fun to watch when he pops off. and even purpo is redeeming himself after a lackluster career in tier 1 since franchising, which is so good to see. There's so many reasons to cheer for TL right now. They are my new favourite team in EMEA at the moment.

idk

unstoppable force vs immovable object

as a neutral viewer, he is really good. I think he overheats a bit at times, but he can definitely surpass even the best duelists in the region like mada if timotino gets better at being disciplined. i would say he is one of the best rookie pickups so far this year.

or maybe its because he keeps thinking of half baked comps that only work 20% of the time so he overcompensates for making new ones that are just as easy to antistrat. but hey, anything to play a comp thats never been seen before and therefore can't be anti stratted, right?

this has me cackling lmaooooo

i swear he must be neurodivergent or something, he just can't stick to one thing! he needs to change something or the other at every possible opportunity. mind you, this is the same termi who refused to make a single roster change in TWO YEARS from 2021 to 2023!!! like, what is this switch up? can he chill out?

ok... the hardest agent out of those 5 to carry on imo is sova, but if you also want to have fun with your friends brim is the best option. the other three are carry machines because with sage you dont even need to worry about util or anything, and jett and phoenix are duelists.

yeah im actually so done with this whole "brawk odin go brr" strat that NRG likes to run. at least with the "mada go kill" strat, it relies heavily on mada's actual skill at entrying and getting 4 before dying. brawk is just lugging around a murder machine and spraying it all over his enemies, that's no fun to watch.

honestly this might backfire. astra is so strong in a player that knows how to use her well, and a player can easily carry a game with astra, easier than with any other controller imo (yes, even harder than viper or clove). she is really versatile and as long as you enter astral form at the right times and you are willing to take risks, and you have good gamesense, she becomes so fun and very easy to carry on.

WELL I LIKE WATCHING MATCHES IN THE MORNING, SUE ME IDC

keep coping and blaming everyone else. this wont make you good again but it will give you a huge ego boost, because you know you belong in immortal and you are way better than all the trash surrounding you.

this is the first time in history that I have read a super long sentence where adding any full stops would make things worse.

also everything in general is super expensive (at least from the POV of a tourist), from groceries to healthcare/medications. not like America bad on some of that stuff, but genuinely why is a weekly grocery run there upwards of 200 dollars (equivalent to currency, rough estimate as well)?? that is preposterous, i could get almost a month worth of groceries for myself in the UK with that much money.

its so weird because why are their hands all over me just to get ahead? they will walk straight into me even if i am standing or walking in the aisle. they brush up so close behind me when there really isnt any need to. the worst part is, i actually enjoy flights, just not the part where I have to deal with the other creatures around me.

i think its the idea that people can't stand being the last to get out, like they are somehow superior humans if they manage to escape first. or maybe because planes are cramped and everyone is a bit moody after flights. but most people on planes are assholes, pushing and shoving to get their things and get out. more than once I have been inappropriately touched while fighting for my life in the middle aisle trying to get my luggage out even after waiting for the rush to die down.

oh is it? i havent been active on the site in a while so i miss most of the articles. anyways, keep up the good work!

W, another round of what many may consider the pacific el classico in valorant. also this writing style is new, is this a new article writer for vlr.gg? i like how its more laid back

Or maybe more like eep op?

More like ip op

whats so crazy about this? frost revenge? let's hope DRX can beat down a crumbling FULL SENSE roster to make it happen, but tbh if DRX makes it any further in the LB they are just going to end up being a free win for any of the teams still in the middle or upper bracket rn.
