if only EU could read

honestly I believe in the last two aswell but I'd prob say that for any variation of the three

woke up to FPX loss and DRX win!
truly life has only been going up since I hit rock bottom when PRX left!

here is my 1 page thesis, 'harm reduction for e-athletes and ethics of live sport'

Tier 2/3 teams like FPX.
Author? Me

Is it time to talk about the ethical merits of publicly streaming valorant games played by developing teams?

I say this worrying about damaging the confidence of vulnerable teams/players who are just developing. Should they play without media attention until they are ready?

There isn't anything wrong with enjoying her music, I'm just not that into tiktok music.

As huge as lil nas x?

and we have ashnikko, hopefully valorant becomes big enough that we can get bigger artists

he prob means the imagine dragons x J.I.D opening song for arcane

I'll watch it but I'm up to date on the manga, I'd rather some new chapters come out

Holy fuck even Styling911 doesn't deserve to be put out like that

Slots aren't about achivements, SA will get a slot so riot can get indian viewership, same reason as OCE tbh

Glad you posted L for yourself already, saving everyone else the trouble

how do you know he's blatantly hacking?

Don't worry when DRX beats FPX again you'll have your turn to have a cry

if you want a balanced fun game to play delete chamber, if you want a good esport delete chamber and buff jett to old version

I HECKING LOVE RIOT
FUCK VALVE, RIOT IS MY NEW BEST FRIEND

Faze is high in NA but no one is talking about them in top tier of the game because they haven't won shit

Even if you don't want to call it glitched because it is consistent, there are ways to consistently get out of the map but obviously if someone did this even accidentally you would replay the round

I don't believe that it's possible for a team to independently fix culture like that but hey maybe they did, guess we'll see next year lmao

Your right that abused isn't the correct term there but it doesn't matter if the bug is intended to be used or not, I doubt you would say a round shouldn't be replayed because someone went out of the map area only accidentally.

The turret can be dodgeable if you get out get out of line of sight, this does not go against what I claimed it's purpose was. Ideally the turret would shoot where the player wall last seen with it's final bullets (the corner or the wall) or would just stop shooting, the reason it doesn't I don't think is a sign the developer intended it to be unreliable, they did it because it's easier to code and doesn't happen enough to fix it, it doesn't have a animation going back to it's default position, instead it snaps back in an unpolished way further supporting this idea.

The problem is your justification isn't evidence, it is purely a value judgement, it quite literally is just trust me, bro. Your interpretation is that the function isn't to shoot directly at someone while I think the function of the turret is to give the direction of the enemy. Although we can try to appeal to each other about why our idea of the what a turrets function is, it's function isn't objective so we can't convince each other with evidence. It's like arguing about the function of music, I say it's function is to energise you while you claim it's function is too relax. Either way neither of us have a 'objective' foot to stand on.

Bonus meme: you still haven't given me a simple definition that includes one but not the other

Wow this is a long cope, let me rephrase it then: the current roster is dogshit because they have no structure or culture and thus it would be awful if sen keep them instead of getting players both capable of playing in tier 1 and capable of adding to a tier 1 culture like 100T did

where did it shoot after that? at nothing...

is you have a stomach bug you think you have something from the class/order phylum Arthropoda?

Just because it hasn't been done before doesn't mean it shouldn't be done

I thought sick was gonna come back for 2023, and remember shroud saying he wants to continue competing?

Tenz, dapr, shaz, zellsis, and sick are not tier 1 brother, they are a fun clout team but nobody is legitimately thinking they are gonna win anything

It makes me angry that they are gonna get franchised and likely gonna keep their current roster, cutting out players that deserve to be in franchising

If it impacted the round then replay baby

I didn't even consider with franchising the missing flairs :(

I can't wait for it to end, I hate this place but I'm addicted
Let me free

I think we fundamentally disagree, I would say it is a info gathering ability, if it doesn't give you info what is it's use?

The turret is different because its essence is supposed to be unreliable to an extent.

The argument is around whether or not the turret shooting at nothing is part of the function/ it's essence.
I clearly disagree with your idea of what is the essence of the turret is, therefore how can we ever come to a conclusion on what is and isn't a bug using our beliefs on what is and isn't the essence of the object.
You claim there is no interpretation for the superdash but there is for the turret, the problem is if we do it based on what feels like something being in essence then rulings for what is and isn't intended becomes inconsistent and is too much up for interpretation.

Just because something is abused in the higher ranks doesn't make it 'intended', people in higher ranks abuse cypher cams yet we would still say these are not intended and shouldn't be allowed in VCT.

I don't think it is how the developer meant for the turret to play out, the only reason we would keep it otherwise is if it is an unintended mechanic that adds to the game somehow. I do not think, not shooting at where the enemy was seen adds any value to the game. If the turret is not suppose to tell you what direction the enemy is then why does the turret have a tracer in the first place

Thank god I wasn't one of them

It's very clearly not intended to do that though even if it does 'frequently'. It doesn't happen so frequently that we should just accept it, this is the first time this tourney that it's happened, 1 replay a tourney to fix an unfair round seems good to me.
Every single pro player will look at where the turret shoots, if you can't trust the information from it then what's the point of it being a turret, just have it make a ding sound when an enemy is in line of sight.

If people started going out of the area frequently would you say they shouldn't remake when a team does it since it's common?

The reason going out of bounds is bad is because it changes the outcome of the round in a way that is not intended, the turret shooting at nothing does the exact same thing.

give me a definition for 'bug' that:
i) doesn't include the turret shooting where there isn't a player
ii) does include people glitching out of the map

Either you have to say both are allowed and if a team glitches out of the map in VCT then there shouldn't be a replay
or
You have to say both turret and glitching out of the map should have a round replay

look it up on google

It says insect is only used in North America and who speaks their dogshit language

Based, do apac next!

OCE + vietnam + india get to have their well deserved slots into champs

incorrect
it's a harmful microorganism, typically a bacterium.
nt kid

Please someone give me a definition for 'bug' that:
i) doesn't include the turret shooting where there isn't a player
ii) does include people glitching out of the map

Either you have to say both are allowed and if a team glitches out of the map in VCT then there shouldn't be a replay
or
You have to say both turret and glitching out of the map should have a round replay

Something being able to be done consistently doesn't make it not a bug, you can consistently glitch through the map into out of bounds areas, are those just 'features' that pro teams can use?

I'm sure it was a really good discussion as well :(

I don't like XSET but I don't have to pretend that replaying a round that was only lost because of a bug is a reason

there is no war in ba sing se

Yay doesn't miss holy

Horimiya a 5? holy
Your Lie in April a 3? I thought it was overrated as well but 3 would be like the worst anime of a season, a 7 is more fair

Get top 3 in a real region like OCE

It's like saying I'm racist for saying american is full of dogshit people. I'd be an asshole but not racist, in fact the fact that you think brazil is one ethnic group isn't racist but it's trying

oh true actually, guess really anyone can win

No team has won 2 tourneys / 2 tourneys in a row
