Any game you play, anti-cheat or not is going to have cheaters. Riot can’t predict the code that cheat makers will use, and when their cheats do get noticed/banned from riot updating the anti-cheat. They just make new ones to bypass the anti-cheat again. It’s always going to be a never ending cycle. Just be glad that riot decided it would constantly update what anti-cheat detects and bans unlike some other games

Oh my god, I totally forgot about that

So true

That is a big yikes, and I hope the players and coach are are fine moving forwards

359 hrs bronze 3, haven’t played since July of last year

Nismo should be in here, either tier 3 or 4

I thought the rule was you can only import 1 player

Aproto > Supamen

Yea, I was just pointing out why their roster idea wouldn’t work with Babybay. I think Xeta is going to APAC, so it would be someone like Crashies (as you said) or Trent. On the Chamber point that’s why I put it next to his name, but I would keep ‘entry’ next to his name as well, cause he would revert back to it if Riot decided to gut Chamber.

Not a fan as roles would be a nightmare in this scenario:
Vanity (IGL/smokes)
Leaf (duelist)
Xeppa (Duelist/Flex)
Yay (Chamber/Duelist)
Babybay (Duelist)

Which means you didn’t watch towards the beginning of the scene, Aproto is the reason people used the ion sheriff

Honestly I see maybe Nismo over Cloud for initiator, unless the ex-Ghost roster decides to stick together for Ascension.

Good song for general purposes. For worlds shoulda been sped up slightly (1.15x is pretty good)

Don’t disagree, but I think the biggest reason Sen made it is due to their pull on the audience. With their matches in the NA LCQ drawing more viewership than Reykjavík or Berlin (I know it was more than at least one of these). Which would be very appealing to any company.

I wouldn’t say Heretics are an unknown team (if you played/payed attention early on to the competitive scene), as they were a powerhouse in the early days, making a name for themselves by winning first strike. Ex players/coaches include: Nukkye, Avova, Tanizhq (HC for vitality), Ardiis, Paura (left and just re-signed).

Who do we think is going to cast the grand finals (English stream)? Bren and the Egg are casting now, and I was hoping for it to be them. I don’t think it will be Doug/Balla as they cast the match prior (unless I’m mistaken), so I assume they are too recent. Mitch/Tom maybe?

Edit: I spaced on panpoc, honestly hope it’s them.

Torterra (entire line)
Gardevoir (entire line)
Rayquaza
Tyranitar (just T-tar)
Tirtouga (carracosta doesn’t exist)

I mean transitioning can be traced as you need to be approved to start transitioning, and after (x) amount of time you then get approval from a psychologist and bring it to a doctor who then approves the use of hormones. So because there would be medical records, it can be traced/proven. (As you have 3 points of records: psychologist, doctor, and where you pick up/pay for the hormones e.g. CVS, Walgreens, etc) And I agree with you, their will always be a player here or there who tries to lie their way through, but you likely won’t see a scenario where the an entire team is lying on their status.

I mean, didn’t males play in gc emea? It isn’t exclusively females that play in it in the first place

That’s why they need to get approval by a doctor, as there are records dating when they started transitioning and when they started hormones

My guess is that for trans players, they have to show/have a doctor showing how far they are in their transition. Probably won’t have anyone playing who is in their first year of transitioning (as they usually they have yet to start taking hormones and that becomes a grey area they probably won’t touch). But if they did start taking hormones, then having a doctor confirm for how long they have been taking hormones and the dosage amount is what they would go off of.

I say this because even a small amount can have major effects on the body. For instance there are woman who have naturally high amounts of testosterone that exceed the legal levels for Olympic play. And if they were to take estrogen to then lower their levels, the IOC would allow them to compete. But the few woman who do have naturally high levels have refused this (and thus deciding not to compete), as it negatively affects what’s already there (muscles and reaction speed, which can be built back upon but sets you back months if not years of training)
