because they wanted a coach that was a player with tier-1 game experience. They trialed rawkus and liked his impact and input

they started scrimming like 2-3 weeks ago once tenz landed in LA. Almost a month after everyone else started scrimming in NA

Not by a pretty margin at all, statistically speaking

Except for much longer

Exactly lol. Scrims do all 24 rounds so they can practice both attack and defense to the fullest. It's pretty standard lol. a 13-2 would be horrible practice for both teams.

Yeah, the replies to this thread are way too serious since the troll was obvious. Even if it wasn't, how rent-free can rent free get, holy

they should add a hall of fame feature for the best pickems for each tourney

yeah, someone maybe typed "help sewer", but that coach could've been Stunner, the assistant coach for T1 (who has a rough background apparently). They have 2 coaches, so I'm not sure if anyone credible identified which one it was.

posted about 2 years ago

Was it confirmed that it was DD8 though? The ruling I saw only said "a coach" and I haven't seen anyone specifically say it was the head coach. Did someone else specify it was him on Twitter? or an article?

No seeding matches? And 2 open qualies?? And ro32+ is double elimination??? This format is nice af!

Basically, if you don't make it to the main event, you REALLY just didn't deserve it that time and should brush up in the tier2 tourneys till stage 2.

Diamond 3. Somewhere around $4,000. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

Wow, I didn't even notice Ziegler left to start a new project. This weekly article is so damn useful

Great read! I think this answered a few of the remaining questions I had from watching the video which left me a little confused about the regional leagues.

"Whenever possible, the Game Changers EMEA circuit will run parallel to the wider EMEA ecosystem, avoiding overlaps so as to permit teams to compete in Game Changers, VRLs, and VCT open qualifiers."

^ I think this would be "in series" not parallel. Series better refers to the "one after the other" or "end-to-end" concept you're referring to which avoids overlap.

Also, misspelled "vct promotion tournament" in the final bullet points.

slots are alloted by region size & esport potential, not their performance lol. NA will always have potential due to its sheer size (even if it's never realized)

posted about 3 years ago

Hmmmmm... not a bad take actually. I didn't think of that.

It really does feel like their comps are limited because of the Tenz jett main issue. Same reason why 100T got rid of Dicey even tho they had just won with him. It really is limiting

LOl that's pretty funny

I don't think Riot updated the ruling because of backlash. They just made yet another mistake and miscalculated the rounds in the first ruling and had to redo it. Apparently, vk won only 3/6 of those cam rounds, not 4. So only 3 can be overturned.

I'm still baffled that they didn't just dq the team that used the exploit

posted about 3 years ago

Agreed. it's extremely unfortunate, but they cannot reverse this decision, no matter how poorly it was made

posted about 3 years ago

I'm just not sure why Riot arbitrarily adjusted the rounds vs making them replay the half or forfeit the map. Riot could have had the same exact ruling with Acend winning the bo3 by saying the map is forfeited by KS instead of saying they're giving the rounds away 1 by 1 for Acend to win with some hypothetical adjustment for economic factors.

It's weird and dumb. if you don't want to adjust the scheduling for us to see them compete for the REAL win that half, then just dq that map's performance for Keyd

P.S. I completely understand not catching a bug (even if it's well known, cuz I didn't notice it either) in real time, but again this ruling is still freakin weird af

posted about 3 years ago

No, I think the real problem is that they chose to arbitrarily adjust rounds vs making them replay the half or forfeit the map in general. They could have had the same exact effect of Acend winning the bo3 by saying the map is forfeited by KS instead of saying they're giving the rounds away 1 by 1 and by pure chance, Acend happened to get to 13 rounds (after adjusting for a hypothetical economic factor). That's just SOO dumb

I'm guessing someone reported it on the opposing team? not sure

posted about 3 years ago

FNC should've stopped the flank retake after it first stopped working since it started to condition VS to watch flank with 2 or 3 bodies. A regular retake would've worked after that point lol

Great read!

Possible correction: Isn't Valorant's peak viewership in Iceland where it peaked at 1million in the grand finals?

posted about 3 years ago

Or is it intentional by riot? It looks like all the elimination matches could be the same day but that'd be 4 matches 🥴

posted about 3 years ago

Is it a typo error by vlr or is the match schedule in flux because of the covid positive tests?

posted about 3 years ago

The only thing that matters now is who wins. No more "easy"/"hard" groups or circuit points or any more winding up to the highest level of competition. THIS IS IT! If VS (or any team) doesn't win, there're no more excuses

posted about 3 years ago

If this is really announced, kinda pog

posted about 3 years ago

I thought so too. Wasn't Masters 3 the same format with the exception of what happened with Bren/Team Secret that made group D double round robin? This Champs format just doesn't feel epic imo

posted about 3 years ago

mannnnn, yeah I really wish prx went instead

posted about 3 years ago

Right???? hahaha, champs is going to be interesting for TS.

posted about 3 years ago

This goes to show you it's not the star player, it's the team. Tenz couldn't achieve shit on C9 either LUL

posted about 3 years ago

WTH! this is the only team I commented on that was unfilled, and the team went ahead and got freakin ASUNA to fill in for them? haha that's pretty awesome

posted about 3 years ago

Yeah, I think for the mr15 system and the length of CS matches (and their OTs), I think bo5's just a bit too long for maximum performance at the highest level of competition

posted about 3 years ago

Yep, the showmatch had 634k yep. idk what this guy's talking about. https://twitter.com/EsportsCharts/status/1457405201154023431?s=20
