My power went out, I can’t watch the game :(

What made you support navi

I believe
This year is the year

Purp0s got a high ceiling tbf
he just didn’t bring a ladder

now talking about 2.5L coke and his 6k calorie chick fil a order

Peak entertainment

u gotta hop on the ardiis stream he muted the broadcast and now is talking about back massages

Split

I think they’re still defo favoured but I think GX (assuming they’re the ones that win this) can defo upset, they have 4 players who have insane mechanical ceilings

Lowkey watching VCT just isn’t the same without yapping on vlr

both teams FNC fodder

Brother we are NOT looking good enough to be this confident 😭

Fr
(When you can understand what they’re saying)

Oh damn
Crazy how the cned twitch bits thing still gets brought up 😭

What did they do (I genuinely don’t know)

Are you hate watching BBL cuz they moved away from full Turkish

Nvm what I said pre edit was misinformation

Alfajers debut was pretty good still, against FPX who were about to go on to win Masters

Bro I think you didn’t say bro enough bro he would say bro so much more bro

That exact comment is literally what inspired this post 😭

Actually a breath of fresh air
Most VCT streamers feel like they have filters on, I feel like they’re scared of riot or smth, but ardiis is out here saying shit without thinking twice and speaking his mind (naturally that leads to some shite takes, but it’s funny when he’s wrong)

I thought the same going in to map 1 but it lowkey turned out to be a banger

My main takeaway is that Jamppi’s IGL is alright, I wasn’t sure if he’d be bad or good but that map was decent

Also Lewn is insane

xqc masterclass
(Tbf there was a few unlucky rounds, like that one flick from Lewn on B was insane)

Close games with insane aimers is always fun to watch

No way 😱😱😱
I couldn’t’ve seen that coming

Can’t wait to see mini casting, especially with Pansy. I remember him saying he wanted to do (analyst) desk work but casting is really cool to see

Man I’m cooked
In my defence as a first year uni student I have way too much free time
I should’ve tried finding a part time job but the timing is awkward now

You tryeue and n1cf are like the trinity of vlr brainrot (y’all are chill tho)

Damn
I heard they were interested in moving back to NA a while back, so maybe if they re-enter they could pick up a roster

(I mean to put “makes at least one GF” for option 3)

Sure cool, but you have to admit it goes hard right?

Cancer is a bitch
Hope it’s benign and wishing all the best

The league is based in Berlin, I think there should be a German org/team even if they aren’t competitive at first.

Here’s why I don’t think your argument holds up:

None of the Spanish orgs are fielding Spanish rosters for example, maybe if in the future the Spanish scene becomes stronger they’ll pick up talent, it’s the same kind of vision I’d see for a German org in VCT if you get what I mean.

Another example is the French teams, they’re moving to international rosters too. GE and Indian talent… I could go on and on tbh

(This also applies to MENA orgs btw)

I just hope they change around the region balance in 2027 tbh

I want atleast 1 CIS and 1 German team
And a MENA team would be nice, even if they wouldn’t be competitive

Uhh
I guess others have already made it abundantly clear

Tbh I got no idea about cars in general, the only car stuff I know is the occasional top gear / GT ep + a small bit of F1

I wanna learn more but I got not idea where to start

Abyss leaving 👍👍
Bind leaving 👎
Ascent entering 🥱
Icebox entering 👎👎

Fair tbh, it’s subjective and for me being humble qualifies

Bro this train wifi is sooo slow it’s making me dupe posts 😭😭😭

Ok yeah that was a bit unwarranted
I’m on like no sleep so my judgment is impaired

I’ll be honest you probably have some freaky ahh desktop so maybe that’s the best outcome 👍

No, Ima stand for what I actually think
You’re free to think I’m overly glazing

whats all of this about
(I'm curious, but not enough to watch everything and catch up, would you mind giving me a tldlr)

Yeah, to be fair I only considered the logistical (specifically the visa) side of the argument, funding definitely has a big role in it too. The best we can do is stay optimistic as you said, but seeing something like this does give me a glimmer of hope

I kind of touched on this in #1, but it should be pretty reasonable if it's within the US right?
The teams would already have work visas within the US due to the IL, so in theory if they hosted it elsewhere domestically it should all work out right?

(ofc this doesn't address the whole latam/br thing, I just wanted to bring it up separately)

uhh

As much as I'd like to see this it sounds like a logistical nightmare due to visas

(CN can and has done it, since it's all domestic. Maybe EMEA (Within the EU) and AMER (Within the US) could do it)

W I really like this.

Shanghai, Seoul, LA and Berlin + 3 may seem like a lot on paper, but since 4 of those are fixed it leaves me with the feeling of wanting more cities (Personally, one of the coolest things about something like F1 is the fact that you get to see a ton of cities/countries, and it really gives an 'international' feeling to the sport)

I hope it goes well, would love to see similar implemented in Americas and EMEA (I believe CN has already done something similar)
Now that I think about it, CN did it for all of playoffs, and that's technically possible within Americas (If it's in the USA) and EMEA (If it's in the EU).

hell yeah
I love that

I hope it goes well, I want all regions to do this (I believe CN has already for the entirety of playoffs)
