it's a chinese meme referencing a historical quote about Confucius

from the same reddit thread:
This is a Chinese internet meme culture originating from a web novel. The original line was, "If heaven did not give birth to Li Chungang, the path of the sword would remain shrouded in eternal night," from Sword in the Snow. However, this phrasing itself has an even older source: "If heaven had not birthed Confucius, eternity would remain dark as night," from Zhu Xi's Classified Conversations of Master Zhu (《朱子语类》). In 2018, LPL commentators adapted this format to praise the player TheShy, saying, "If heaven did not give birth to TheShy, LPL top laners would remain in eternal darkness." Chinese format is ("天不生 [Name], [Domain] 万古如长夜")

his optic point is pure ragebait

edit: idk why my thing posted twice

you left prx for vitality :(

You've chosen to become a C9 fan? That's a bold strategy Cotton, hope it plays out for ya.

fake fan spotted

bro just put himself first in line to suck his own dick lmao

D:

where is the drama? can someone explain

nah, he does speak at times when he feels that the rest of the team is doing something stupid. When verno plays cypher on split/sunset(sunset no longer in the pool), he calls the setups he wants to play.

I honestly don't know either. I want KC to win because I want to see KC vs NRG, but the Navi roster is super solid as well.

agree, but bulldog is still hella underrated

Haven is a genuinely fun map, it's a valid opinion

actually valid list for VCT. Ranked list is personal preference, so it doesn't matter to me

just got done with classes, checked to see what's going on

Riot, why tf would you agree to limit your circuit to one streaming platform??? That's just fundamentally bad business. Surely you have the weight to push for co-streams on other platforms, and leave the official broadcast on soop if you want.

I guess DSG is just done in valorant for now. Maybe we can get in somewhere when Riot re-evaluates the partnered teams

ok cloudberry, it's time to take your meds

I got back into the vct scene bc of toast & dsg, but after dsg's failure and watching tier1 games, PRX became my favorite team in tier 1. I still root for DSG, which is why my name is what it is, but I support PRX too.

100% this. The reason I'm familiar with any of this is because I really enjoyed technoblade.

I have always been aware that Tommy is somewhat two-faced. There was a funny moment back in the smp days where Techno was on Tommy's stream joking about "imagine people watching other people play video games" & Tommy was flipping out and telling techno to stop bc "they haven't clocked it" lmao. I always liked techno's content because he legitimately put effort and story telling into his videos, in contrast to a lot of other youtuber's more formulaic content, which is why techno was perfectly fine making that joke, bc he was honest with his audience.

tommy and his friend group have continually bashed dream for clout, and now go surprised pikachu face when dream gives in to the pressure for a moment lol

Really glad to see him doing better. Will be rooting for his comeback

Buddy, either the slurs are bad, or we allow the people who the slur affects to "reclaim" them.

If you believe it's all bad, then no one gets a pass, even if it's your favorite youtuber doing the heaven-mandated activity of shitting on Dream.

If you believe in the "reclaim" philosophy, then guess what, Dream is diagnosed with ADHD & autism i.e. he has neurological disorders i.e. he gets to reclaim the narrate word. And Dream's never used the other slur, and who the fuck are you to know about another person's sexuality lmao.

I don't even like dream's content and can't stand to watch it, but at this point the double standards applied against him are fucking insane, and I keep up with this bullshit since it always gets pushed to trending on youtube/twitter.

if you want to understand how braindead the people supporting tommy are, look at Kwite's most recent tweet, has 50k likes. It's a slur way worse than the narrate word. But imagine what would happen if dream said it lol

L take

A lot of Dream's points are pretty valid imo, but I agree that a whole bunch of people will continue to hate on Dream bc that's the popular thing to do.

Unless Dream says fuck it and straight up releases all the DMs with a bombshell.

the allegations against dream were proven false. Tommy is indeed cringe for joking about something as serious as pdf allegations

Hi there,

I recently discovered that I can't upvote/downvote comments (see here), so could you kindly upvote your own comment and count it as mine since I can't do it?

Thank you,
DSGFan

no lol; I don't get what it's supposed to achieve though

IDK. I got banned for politics bc I was talking about how it was unfair & dumb to compare [censored] to [censored], so I guess this is related to that? It was a discussion about how certain [stuff] relates to the valorant scene.

fr, all they do is remakes & sequels, and the few times they have an original movie it's almost always bad

I can't upvote anymore :(

my fault; it might be good to edit the main post with that message

Like, it feels bad bc I want to let bygones be bygones, but some of the stuff he's complaining about AoT fans doing is stuff he did in interactions with me about One Piece.

HxH is 100% up there. The chimera ant arc is one of the best arcs in all of anime imo.

Netero (vlr user) would probably be unhappy with me for thinking Meruem >>> Netero (HxH character)

So on the one hand, I agree with your opinions on how some AoT fans act. I personally like AoT a lot, but I understand why others don't like it.

On the other hand, given my past interaction with you, I'm tempted to say this is the pot calling the kettle black.

Lowkey if Tejo is being used in all your games (most likely will be), consider playing chamber, especially on bind & fracture. Tejo's util makes certain defensive positions unplayable if combined with other util, so chamber uniquely allows you to fight for that space and escape.

You will have to worry about getting suppressed by his recon bot, but if you stop it early and deny info you can at least get the util out and hopefully fast flood.

Everything I said above is on defense. So for bind, your comp could look like brim, tejo, chamber, raze, gekko. On offence, you can just combine the nades & mollies + gekko flash to follow up on the recon bot, so basically powerful execs that force enemy to give up site. Have chamber play aggressively to get a pick on the retake and form cross fires, and counter flash with gekko + stun from tejo to slow down retakes.

agreed

Ok, there's no way you let yourself get pressed like this on vlr. Please do not reply & focus on coming up with a winning strategy.

How are you going to preserve mental during matches if this much tilts you?

what?

I'm smoking on PRX copium

bro imagine you could throw them and they stick onto people and you can blow them up lol?

You could even do c4 lineups onto common positions

On those maps specifically, op is very strong. Jett can solo hold B long with op on Pearl long enough for rotates to come in if necessary. Same with abyss. Yoru can op, but it's not as good as the Jett op.

Plus attack side op is super underrated, and jett is the best agent to do that.

So I was looking at the valorant leaks for the new agent and it seems like this initiator is all about explosives lmao? 3rd video here: https://x.com/VALORANTLeaksEN/status/1875605353796399543

He presses a switch which detonates a row of explosives.

Then from the other video, we see he launches something from his wrist that looks like a rocket that can explode. The POV shot makes me think you might control it like gekko ult. So a homing missile lmao??? might be his ultimate.

Looks like TMV was right in thinking that the new initiator will be an oppressive-util for execs type of initiator like breach.

I think this is just not accurate. Jett op is so strong on Pearl & Abyss

exactly.

Can't tell if you're being serious or joking

eh, sometimes you just post when no one's online and it doensn't work out

nah, most of the time they're fine and funny, it's just that they have a horrendous track record when it comes to politics

he got moved to their academy roster. IDK. might be some team dynamic issues
