i'm a dog person bro
tough luck for that cat damn
leo is probably higher than alfajer in contention for a 2023 MVP, if there were such a thing. he had incredible impact in every one of fnatic's games. he was the lockin mvp and wasn't the masters tokyo MVP by just a hair -- it could have gone either way.
alfajer has been incredible ever since lockin, but he didn't show up at lockin. that's the only reason i'd give leo a slight advantage
got better shit to do than write articles about something a player said on his stream a few times. not that a forum dweller like you would know.
e: disregarding the fact you think we're going to chase after news because some vlr forums popped up on this subject, the person above said it well. it came from an official source this time, not a twitch sound bite.
no restriction on regions, just on teams from the same group
EG are largely backed by PEAK6, a VC investment firm. In layman's terms: they have a shit load of money and 0 knowledge or notion of what to do with it
fixed this and above thank you both
the cycle of life and death continues
stars are a measure of activity, not how good or bad your takes are. if that was what stars measured, 95% of this website would be at 0 stars
that's the beauty of the internet. no reading comprehension, no knowledge of english, no brain. just mush and drool!
this is one of the funniest posts i've seen on this website lately
it's 2059. boaster has won his 63rd valorant trophy.
ange1 is 65 and has led NAVI to a record-breaking 5th-straight groups finish at Masters.
(what im getting at: dead tier 2, dead tier 1 because players are recycled. you need grassroots to build a healthy and developing tier 1 that isn't just people reinventing themselves)
tftv, overgg, vlrgg were all created by enigma
given this announcement, highly likely yes but not confirmed
API isn't for extracting match times. It's for extracting statistics. Best thing you will get from the API is an in-game match start time (which only comes after the fact and may or may not be accurate to the minute).
most likely assigned different seeding pools for groups. at least that's what happened for Tokyo.
i get paid in icecream sandwiches biweekly
nah bro the VLR.gg overlords only allow me to open the CMS once i see the number 13
first person in the history of the vlr.gg comments to use their brain before commenting on a match post since we started doing them
thank you kind person.
mistake i made in trying to get the article out fast. fixed now, apologies!
was meant to be a weibo tag. thanks!
you're absolutely right, the play-ins spot was pre-allocated and it could have gone to another team.
just came here to say you have an excellent flair sir

that's cool, which holiday?
(to be clear -- tomorrow = june 27)
that's what the article means, yes. highly doubt red bull are hosting home ground between just japanese/pacific teams after what they did last year
lock//in was the replacement of split 1, not masters 1. the answer isn't starting earlier, it's ending later.
that was last year. clarified language, mb
you don't see me crying about it tho do you

sleep deprivation is a bitch. fixed, thank you
personal thoughts, after all the feedback and notions I've acquired during the four months I was on top of the EMEA VCL issues
Peak and/or average viewership are bad popularity metrics. You need to pay attention to concurrent viewers, average minute audience (not public on esports charts), and I'm half-sure there's one more statistic I'm forgetting.
Regarding mergers
iammika1999 mentioned having broadcasts in English. Bad idea for most of these leagues. There's a lot of regional/national pride tied to the VCLs, which gets stripped when you remove language-specific streams. It also kills a lot of people's jobs in favor of a hiring pool that's dried up or not large enough (english-language casters or casters capable of commentating in english for tier 2 in EMEA).
the underlying issue isn't how fragmented the EMEA VCLs. it's an aggravating factor, definitely, but the real issue is the lack of money. nobody has cash to burn, and riot have barely opened their wallets to tier 2 (they pay a small stipend to the TO to help with upkeep, which isn't even enough to cover prizes). the ERLs work in EMEA -- NLC may be in the shit but the other leagues aren't doing bad by most metrics despite slightly subpar numbers -- it's just a matter of getting a solid base built, but that requires money. and money's not really anywhere right now.
reminder that when I said the Americas had won Champions (LOUD), the entire Brazilian fanbase got outraged. They don't claim you <3
tou acordado desde as 5 da tarde do dia 10

as a journalist, I am ethically bound to be unbiased towards anyone. If you know anything about this website, and you should by how many hours you spend here, you know we're pretty thorough with our tier 2 coverage and have divided it according to the 2022 VCT regional divisions. articles about every region, including brazil, will come in their own time.
is it a bias or are you just a forum dweller, trembolona?
more posts (activity) = more stars. that's all there is to it.
