lowkey makes a lot of sense then

but then why not sign them as an affiliate team? they can go to ascension

allat

ima need a peter griffin AI voice to read this out with minecraft parkour in the background

apparently he's injured, and he had offers for after kickoff

I agree but I think it'll be a stomp for whoever
I feel like both teams are kinda momentum based

Fokus winning would be so hype

yeah
fnatic flair will be back at stage 1 dw

dawg the bar is NOT high in this situation 😭😭

7 robbed

nah fnatic are still my number #1 favourite team
but I wanted to put a flair which is at bangkok for the event

don't worry u still got this

oh thank god i thought it would be the glaceon and sylveon gif

Numero uno my goat come back

if you thought vlr could be insufferable wait until you see vct twitter

(I'm not following this drama btw I have no idea what's going on here specifically, I'm just saying generally)

Dubai would be most likely maybe Bahrain/Qatar are possible too

don't see them going to Riyadh first tbh

why am i getting youtube shorts in text form on vlr

blud is doing a job interview in ranked 😭

iirc riot have separate tournament accounts for players
so I'd assume they're playing at the riot facility and maybe soulcas' account is still on their database

me too
to me its sour and ruins whatever it goes with, i hate the texture too
also it's often served cold, and i just hate cold sauces with lukewarm-warm food anyways

Mine is:

1. Istanbul
2. Bangkok
3. Niagara (dk if this counts as a city but I loved it)
4. Munich
5. Dubai

off the top of my head
HM: Muscat, LA, Paris, Cape Town, Mauritius

he spoke a bit during the end of an interview, but idk if he knew that or prepared it

I think it's kinda warranted sometimes
Not really for just the skins thing, that's a different department

But in general they're just not how they used to be. If I were to compare them the old Riot devs were similar to how the Marvel Rivals devs are now, constant fresh updates, super responsive and even willing to walk back on changes instantly. Nowadays all the 'content' we get in the game itself is skins + agents + the occasional map. Things like the replay system are in development but look how long it's taken (and likely will take). What about stuff like more gamemodes? Custom servers? Community maps? etc... At their current pace Riot would take years to start and develop those things, and that's only if they're interested.

I think Riot have become complacent, they make hella money with skins so they're not really incentivised to improve the player experience. I've heard a former Riot dev even say that they're moving devs away from Val to go work on another project.
By no means is the game 'dying' but it is becoming sort of stale imo.

one more day...
one more day before VCT returns, just hold out

johnqt, zekken

i think all you gotta do for now is just make it one missile
or maybe half the damage of each missile (pretty much the same thing)

he's talking about how clouted they are, not about how good they are currently

wait loud are benching tuyz?
he was good for them overall imo

bro i love macarons
so many people ik hate them but fresh macarons are so nice

if i go to champs paris im gonna be eating those daily from authentic bakeries for sure

oh damn, that's actually pretty interesting
so the only way to get in to tier 2 (as a team) now is through Premier if I'm understanding correctly, which ig is somewhat similar to open quals, but I like how it's engrained completely in to the game

(pro play)
I don't think so for Jett, Yoru can do what she does + a lot more
I think most Jett picks are for comfort

but in general that's just how the internet is, people are gonna overreact when something is new

ive wanted to try him for a while now but i know for a fact that im gonna flash my team and they'll start throwing

i mean my teammates do that anyway so maybe its worth a try

im the same but with ketchup im ngl

I have one at my house but I didn't bring it with me to uni :(

some of y'all need to be locked up for these opinions 😭

drop your food hot takes im curious to see more

no

this is how i'd rank them

neo frontier

mystbloom
primordium

recon and neo frontier

ive never seen anyone glaze him im ngl

oh hell nah

eh it's a lot more than just Persian

Pakistani food is a mix of Persian, Arab and mostly North/West ''Indian'' cuisines (Indian is in quotations here as I'm referring to the geographical location)
For example you'll see a lot of common Indian dishes with meat

why does vlr become like this when there are no games on

damn

thats the second 1v5 that's been won from that spot this year in pro play

how much have you bet
with proof

i mean i get being hopeful, but if you expected them to instantly become a top tier 2 team your expectations were way too high
just like anything you have to give it time, wanting for it to go faster isnt gonna make it go any faster

i think they have improved tho
they couldn't qualify before, and now they just did
and it makes sense that they weren't immediately the best team, because again, they just barely qualified

no one should ever be forced to go to Birmingham

yeah i agree
i think we'll get a Masters eventually but prolly not this partnership cycle

I think Dubai would be the most likely
They already got the EWC in Riyadh

I think 2026 is the year where EMEA won't get an event (since one region has to miss out on an event every 4 years)

edit: it actually could be pacific too if they started counting from 2024

My preds would be

Masters Mexico City (Anywhere in LATAM basically)
Masters London/Masters Singapore (Either the UK or Germany if in Europe, or SEA/OCE if in APAC)
Champions Chengdu/Beijing

hopefully sometime soon
usually they loosely follow what league's done in the past few years and the worlds GF was in London

hell yeah
