and again

almost no one was taking TH seriously when we found out they didnt have miniboo*, also he doesn't necessarily have to make it to GF to surpass pati as a sub

if he plays at champs he has the chance to surpass pati imo

YES THEY CAN
LFGGG MAP 3

I never said an EMEA player was the goat, unless you would like to point out where I missed my own statement

just adding to the reputation of sen flairs

one mans bait is another mans ate

its probably like account sharing, its a rule but its not enforced.
perhaps if its something like triggerbot then it would be enforced, but autoclick doesn't really give you an advantage

nah, you wouldve almost instantly been banned

in my mind goat is like:
aspas level of play for 3-5 years
benjyfishy/tenz kind of popularity

people forget goat means greatest of ALL TIME when using the term unironically

man takes me back
I could get 12-13 constantly jittering, I have no clue how I didn't develop carpal tunnel

try blow air into it, that will fix it if its from static charge buildup
otherwise look into warranty or opening it up your self

reaction: TenZ
swings: Less
hs %: scream

trashtalk: davai (my humble goat, we trash talk our selves)
aura: ange1

if you watch all the games yeah, but I think the casual viewer (ie, someone who isn't invested enough to be on VLR in the first place) just watches their favourite teams games + the 'big' games. So I think there will be just enough games for that type of person, but right now there are far too few

also I really hate the current half and half system which adds up for champs qualification

(playoffs)

everyone who will qualify, has qualified.
they are just playing for seeding now
(Except SEN, who will guarantee Champs by winning against G2)

Sayf + trexx 2-1

MORE COACH MORE ANALYST?????

MORE COACH MORE ANALYST!!!!

MORE WHAT??? I DIDNT HEAR YOU

I feel like if we get a longer season, we can afford to have less matches at masters, I think it would make the events more entertaining, but shorter too, so we don't have the issue of teams attending LANs falling behind + suffering from exhaustion. but yeah we defo need more regular season games

to me the main thing I dont get comp-wise is why put forsaken on harbour instead of kj/kayo, and then putting something on jett

trying to cook on ascent in 2024, messing with the ascent comp never ends well

• 9 Months long season
• 2 whole round robins before each masters
• single elim at masters playoffs (on the fence about champs) edit: this allows for an LCQ before champs too
• swiss + pick n choose system refined for both masters (perhaps circuit points leader gets pick priority)
• 12 teams each masters
• non regular season venues for majors

the only thing which I think isn't as clear cut is the single elim, but I'm sure most people would agree with the rest

imo international playoffs should be single elim, the time for double elim is in groups and the regular season playoffs, makes it more entertaining but thats just me

could be a cool thing
but the pessimist in me just says the games played are just gonna go to whichever companies bid highest so we're gonna get random mobile games nobody's heard of

imo 2022 was the most stacked, then 2023. I would put this year at 3rd then 2021 at 4th

the cned fans are chill, bronzil enjoyer, butterflyeffect and cloudberry all seem chill

if only som respected him and ran away

even after what they did to your team?? (cove incident)

If I were a company, I would take the money and reinvest it so I could have even more money. So I'm going to speculate that maybe someone higher up said they were spending too much money on VCT with too small of a return, forcing them to make budget cuts. Basically I'm speculating that riot don't believe in the VCT until it turns a profit, which is why they're cutting corners now

Then the issue becomes why they are putting so little of the money into VCT

idk if they're in charge of the budget/economics side of things, but if they are, yeah I guess they would be to blame

I know its a common business thing, where you start with a loss and then become profitable over time. But I want to ask the question anyway. Most of Shanghai was just played on the CN set and that most of Seoul will be played on the Pacific set makes me kinda concerned. The production quality feels lower too, walkouts and stuff seems cut back, also not to mention that they had to move EMEA to the riot building (which overlaps with LOL, as I believe it is played there). idk just looks like something fishy is going on

multiple pros do this so nah

If they maintain form I think they have a shot at playing heretics close, but that's a big if

cool

gotta be something in the UK

FNC (UK org) had a huge year in 2023 (fully speculation, but Istanbul 2022 may have had something to do with the 2021 MVP being cNed. LA in 2023 may be related to OPTC dominating 2022/21) more reason to believe champs is in europe at least is that since franchising we have had 1 champs in AMER, and now we will have one in APAC, so just EMEA (and CN too I guess) is left

Clove is a scottish agent, they tend to theme agents around the location of events (e.g. Gekko, Yoru, Iso, Fade)

other than that I would wanna see LATAM and MENA events, maybe OCE too but we've had quite a few events in that timezone region recently

good question

in your case you probably have a lot to gain from upgrading, but as someone else mentioned all it does is raise your own ceiling, so dont expect to instantly rank up if you get a new mouse

to an extent, then you get diminishing returns
