Oh... I'm starting to understand the flag,

Kr1stal and Dos ?

Isnt 2 imports ?

Wasnt she innocent ? (And just accused of being "weird")

Weirdly enough, Flor, Urango and Molsi, I don't need to protect player that are already successful
(But to be honest I prefer talk about structural things than individual players)

No I won't show you my pussy, she is too cute to be exposed on the internet

I'm

It's like tilting, you just have to mental reset

If NS is assured to be top 4 then RRQ would have been yellow, but they could have made a mistake, I admit.

Ereht olleh ?

Liquipedia disagree with youI think they are a risk of triangular ith RRQ and TS if TS win (I would be glad if both BME and NS manage to go to asc)

CP2077 did traumatize you that mush ?

Playoffs got a weird threshold, you got 0 point for a win, the first point you get is when you secure top 4 (you got directly 3pt), when you secure top 3 it's 4pt, and if you secure top 2 well... You dont need CP anymore

XY and SM got so many good ideas, Mega's where great, story has potential, but people complained about "not having enough new pokemon", while they were so many mega they loved to compensate, SM got the vibe and top 2 story tied with BW story, after 2 really serious generation (And 4 really serious games) we just needed vacancy and SM/USUM deliver it perfectly

No, if NS loose and they win, they end before them

In that case they just need DFM and TS to not make top 4

ZETA, GE and TS will end with less point that Boom (TS has still a chance, but nah, they wont go top 4 in the region), they just need either NS or DFM to end behind then and meet the "Top 8 in point" criteria

Option 1 :

• Boom win next game NS loose next

Option 2 :

• DFM not making top 4

Boom can still finish before NS, at least one of Chinese team will qual without go to asc (It would need a planet alignement to not happen) and the 2nd one will go to Asc, I agree on the other

At least half of Ascention team will defend their spot in Ascention

It will happen at some point but it's too early too say. The goat will shine for like... 10 years, and Val is only 5

I agree fun is important (but really subjective)
I can understand if what you like in pokemon is gotta catch them all, then USUM might be your fav version, make sens in that part (I admit this was probably the part I dont like the most in poke)

Thanks for your answer !

You were 11 YO when sword and sheild release so that's explain your take (Your opinion is fully understandable), I bet you started with SM (Or SwSh), or maybe ORAS

• If you started with SwSh thats pretty normal it sounds as peak cause it went worse after,
• If you started with Sun Moon, I don't think it's a good pokemon to start because it was so disruptive, Before SM we had 4 games (BW1, BW2, XY, ORAS) that were really heavy in term of stakes and atmosphere, and we just need something more light to make a pause on the "serious topic", so if you start there you wwill fill it not that good, while us will feel it refreshing
• If you stared with ORAS then maybe you were too young to appreciate it and to understand, especially since you didn't do XY

I recommend you to test BW1, BW2, XY, ORAS if you want to have the big picture, and if you already did it, or you want to see what truly is a postleague, and you are not afraid to old graphics, you can even try the 3G-4G tetralogy and see for example in emerald what is a good postleague (Something we didn't had since this period)
I don't recommend you to test 1G and 2G games the graphism didn't age well compared to the tetralogy, and it's basically HGSS and RFLG but worse

Isnt the "all team boss" a little bit weak in term of narrative ? Making it a fanservice bad made ?
Every legendary possible is...Good to mark the end of a series, but I cant compare to for example emerald battle frontier in terms of "infinite postgame content"
Ultra Necrozma is just the completing trio like in every pokemon game (And its a terribly unbalanced boss fight) sounds as minimum service for a complementary there.

Is they are something you liked in the series in term of story in USUM that it didnt had in SM ?

Bruh, girl is at like 25% over region on her best map inher history, and almost 0 anywhere

They are more countent, but i'm not fully sure if this countent is good. What content do you find good in USUM ?

What about up the spectre instead ? It's good to have low budget weapon that are decent

Do you prefer USUM story over SM and why ?

You are right I forgot to talk about RS remake that was really great, and DP remake that was... A scam

Diamond Pearl is the most horrible game in pokemon, with so many problem (Well not counting the switch ERA for obviuous reason), while Platnium was absolutely amazing, people believe DP was good because they only remember Platnium.

It's kinda hard to rate cause all have their good point and bad point thiking twice, I think The 3G-4G tetralogy (RFLG, HGSS, Emearald, Platinum) are at the same level, Emerald got the best battle frontier, 1G got the Sevii that was appealing to the mystery (And that is what is making pokemon game amazing), 2G have lore and Kanto, and Platinum manage to keep them at the same level than the other 2 because it was the pinnacle of the 2D era in term of technique.

I think I would rate BW1 and BW2 at the same level than the 3G4G Tetralogy, BW1 wasnt the game we wanted, but it was the game we needed, people was disturbed because out of their comfort zone, but that's truly what we do needed, it would have been the best pokemon game if it wasn't so linear in term of mapdesign and with a better post league. BW2 was... Amazing, but I feel it could have been better : BW2 should have been to BW1, what Johto was to Kanto, it could have been a new "generation" but with no new pokemon, as for 2G, the story take place few years later with new protagonist, new sotry, and even new city with gym badges... But they stopped it midway, they could have replace everything between Castellia and Mistralton by every city and route that wasn't used by NB1, (Black city, White city, the New Driftveil they made, New Janusia to allow us to have both in same game, and probably the 2 new Route 4 could have replaced some of the route between the common part of BW1 and BW2). It's a little bit hard to rate since it's a sequel, but I would put it nice rank.

Then we've got XY, they are way better if you compare it to RGB, GS, RS or DP... But if you compare them Emerald, RFLG, HGSS, Platinum then they are under them. This generation suffer of the lack of a complementary version. Rate them as the first version of a generation they are best, rate them as the definite version of a Generation and... They become under the rate. I liked Sun and Moon, it was a niec change of gimmick and really feel like eternal vacation, the real prob of this generation is how BAD Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon was. I'm not even sure if the "definite version" of 7G should be USUM because it the last and that is more complete, or if it should be SM because the story is WAY BETTER.

Switch Era was trash

So basically :

• RFLG, HGSS, Emerald, Platinum, BW, BW2
• XY, SM, USUM, Yellow
• RVB, GS, RS
• DP
• SwSh, SV

Edit : I donno why I named Gold-Silver from 2G "HG" so I edit

He replace flashor initiator, but you will always need a revealing init

I think Molsi is the best Breach on the planet, the way he setup Flor was amazing, but the agent is weak.
I think you should become a reveal main more than a Initiator main, since each team got 1 duel, 1 reveal, 1 ctrl, and 2 flex (Sometime a sentinel + controller main, and a Viper + Breach main, but sometime other thing), if you want only initiator, then focus only on Fade and Sova, (You could learn Skye, Tejo and Geko if you want, but better tryhard thoose 2 that are almost in 100% of winning composition in last masters)

I really agree, I think every team need now 2 cltr to take space and make the defense life a nightmare, while 2ctrl are good in defense.

They for the last spot it's open, it could be a duelist flasher, a sentinel, I could see a Breach or a Kayo but only if they are a 2nd smoker to compensate

Wait isnt Chamber the only map they won ?

Everyone know the best ascent comp is DRG's ascent, it's the only team that doesnt get destroy in atk :c

Right at the moment where I stopped making the bet on Odd :c

And the cycle continue

If nobody want to play them it's because it's not fun to play her (Ex main Viper here), why would force people to play an agent that people dislike ?

If you want more Viper just wait 5 years, I still think in 5 year in proplay everyone will go double controller almost everywhere (Could be Clove as a 2nd controller it doesnt have to go 100% Viper, and Sage is also a good alternative), and people will start to copy them

So No Icebox and Breeze for the year ? I could go with that...

I admit for the future of Valorant, mapool is soooo important that I want weird things, my dream would be to have 10 map announced for the year, only thoose 10 maps you need to train (Plus a map that is gonna be release during the year), and all this map would be authorised twice

• Kickoff & Master 1 : Map A/B/C/D/E/F/G
• Split 1 & Master 1 : Map A/B/C/D/H/I/J
• Split 2 : Map A/B/C/H/I/J + A new map
• Champs : A mapool with the 11 maps people worked over the year (Yes i'm a mad woman)
  The huge advantage of this system is that team wouldn't be like "Damn, this rotation fuck me", everyone know what to prepare day one, and for the most important event in the year nobody would be advantaged by the mapool, 11 map would be scary, but thats not really "more train", since you've got more bans, and the 4 maps that are come back are already map you have trained for 67% of the year

Isnt this team 1st of their group ?

The swan song ?

Los Santos

Now for tier 2 only :

• We need less T2 region but more sustainable (Maybe 4 max per T2), but to compensate we need amator Tier 3 and 4 everywhere (Tier 3 streamed, Tier 4 not), and less Tier 2 team/Region. North region showed us the way to go. The perfect model would be
  Tier 1 : Continent
  Tier 2 : Server
  Tier 3 : Language (Could be nation in some case, could be more precise server in other case, could be the most flexible tier)
  Tier 4 : Nation

So for exemple lets take the current example of Norway :

• Tier 1 : EMEA
• Tier 2 : EMEA Masters (Not a league, may be a problem for stabiity)
• Tier 2.5 : North-East Europe "T2"
• Tier 4 : Norway national league
  (Note we cant have 1 only T2 for EMEA, But having 7 might be too mush, maybe most of our current T2.5 should be T3, having a region West-med with France, Spain-PT, Maghreb, Italia)

Lets take an example for Laos

• Tier 1 : APAC
• Tier 2 : SEA (Professionnal and Broadcasted)
• Tier 3 : Thailand Tier 3 (Amatory and Broadcasted : TH-Laos-MM league), this would be the revival of the league that disappear but the SEA fusion
• Tier 4 : Laos national league (No money, no broadcast)

Exemple for French Caribean :

• Tier 1 : AMER
• Tier 2 : LAN (Already the case)
• Tier 3 : Caribean, play in Miami sever (Other T3 would be : Central America, Mexico play on Mexico serv, COL-EQU-VEN play on Bogota serv)
• Tier 4 : French Caribean league (Haiti, Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guyana, maybe St Lucia, Dominique and french creole speaking area)

This would not make loose riot money because less 2 team to fund, and since T3 is amatory you dont pay

What should be added :

• A tier 2 path to every international event (4 winner of offseason split being allowed to play in Kickoff, 4 winner of split 1 going to playoffs or paying in a tournament where the winner play the Seed 3 of playoffs, Seed 4 of champions plays against Ascention winner)
• Split 2 should be 1 single group

What should be removed :

• Nothing

What should be Adjusted

• More game for worst team, maybe instead of having 2 random group in split 1 we better have 2 group based on level : So it would work like this
  1. Kickoffs (2 team qualified)
  2. A small tournament with the 10 remaining teams, (Right before or after Master 1)
  3. Split 1 : Upper group : 2 team that did qual to master plus top 4 winners pf the small tournament. Lower : The 6 losers of the small tournmant
  4. Split 2 : 1 and only group
• Because there are 6 more games in split 2 for the best team we need to reduce the number of game for the best team, we can economize 2 series by going swiss instead of double elim bracket in kickoff, for master 2, if we do 8 team double elim instead of swiss we economize 1 game. We can also suppress Lower bracket final vs Winner bracket final in playoffs, because we see more playoffs as a qualifier for international event, more than a real title (So the final feel less important than for example a lower bracket game where thelooser is out and the winner will go to inter)

Nyan ? What can I do for you ?

Like every Oceaninan player, playing in their domestic league (Wait its not ?!)

They just build a amazing momentum/confidence that make them twice better than they where truly are, and now they did build a bad momentum and end x2 lower than they truly are. Confidenceis the key

I really beleive thoose mf have cracket the code of this cursed map and finally have a descent attack

If you start video games after 10, thats probably too late for you lil bro. It's not a question of age of retire, it's a question of "did you start doing it when your cerebral plasticity was amazing or not"

In Tier 1 they play slow... But still play 1 execution, they are currently so few team that is able to play a decent slow pace of taking space threw doble smoke weird lurk and stuff, KOI was horrible at doing that for example.

Saturation is the most common meta in GC, Tier 2, and maybe almost in tier 1 (And I find it really boring to watch but thats subjective), and you still want to up saturation playstyle ?

Please strategic Valorant come back :c

At his discard being an IGL when nobody is able to frag is really hard. If I have to blame something it would be his utility usage that is horrible as fuck XD
