this "best duelist itw and oat" currently has a worse rating and hs% than zellsis

there should be ways for the academy team roster to continue if the org allows but yea one org shouldn't have two slots in a league

every tier 1 opportunity he's had just hasn't done him justice
life if you put any player on cloud 9, apeks, or team liquid with no practice, theyre gonna severely underperform from their potential

ap chem can SUCK MY ASS
legit tanked my mental health last year
anyway i demolished my mock ap calc bc exam so im gonna be goated

it’s not that they think it’s unfair, it’s just that’s not how riot wants people to play the game

so madrid means nothing to you?

the spongebob squarepants movie video game for xbox
that shit was my elden ring

luckily im going to college for the next four years where i wont need a car

tbf he was dropped so late into offseason that no good teams would want to pick him up for kickoff
and sen was probably the best choice for stage 1

thats also true, i was really glad theyre doing good now tho. love that team

i have a feeling that asuna and cryo are out if they dont make champs, maybe bang too
vora and timo definitely deserve more time to grow, theyve shown moments of briliance
i swear if they keep asuna for next year then they genuinely must hate winning

would it be a pistol round or an ot style round?

yea if kru had visas and lev had discipline in kickoff they would have friend in santiago
i think this event proves that kickoff events may be fun to watch, but aren't great competitively

get around 50 teams per league, each team in the league plays 4/5 matches against a random opponent in the league, the top 32 play in a single elim playoffs where the top 4 go to champs.

win win for me

yea honestly we need something to limit off topic posts

for quite awhile i never saw you here
for quite awhile i was happy

wait what i am the biggest team heretics and geng hater what is this bot on?

wait im curious

lost clears

this comment makes me regret being literate

well looks like my cover has been blown, now everyone knows im actually trent

the main thing is that the height of fnc's history comes from a really good 2023 and a good 2025
PRX have consistently looked like a top team for the past 4 years, and thats true so far for 2026 as well.
They may not have had the peak that fnc has, but consistency is more impressive in this game imo
(plus when it comes to regionals, theyve both dominated mostly, however if prx wins stage 1 then that definitely puts them over the line)

prx could surpass them BEFORE london

they call me the master negotiator

yooo can i have some?

like genuinely i’m hungry

it’s not that NA fell off, it’s just that mibr and furia are the best NA teams and kru and lev are showing how brazilian talent is back

bro is stressing tf out against s0n

yea ik but even in previous years it took a second for them to fall off
this year its felt immediate

and this was the only kickoff with a 12 team masters...

in total they are 6-12 in stage 1 (not including ns vs prx), and half of the wins are from AG

nah trust my experience of 6 years in silver will bring an x factor no one can predict

wait i should trial for US i got that

give poppin and eggsterr some time, they earned their chance to prove them selves in tier 1 and it’s gonna take a bit

what your doing isn’t really smudging, the game will put you at the rank you deserve on a new account
smurfing is when you intentionally fall into a lower rank and play there

nothing is confirmed, but most likely rumor is cp jokes

this year, we’ve seen the same fall off that happened to the top teams in masters 1 as we have every year, if not at an even faster pace than previously
We though that this was because masters 1 was 8 teams, yet this year it was 12, yet nothing changed
I think we need to shift this narrative about 8 team masters to kickoff masters, the first masters of a year with a quick event qualifying to it
and honestly, it makes more sense for kickoff masters to be a fluke than an 8 team masters. the real top teams of the year aren’t fully warmed up yet, and it’s harder to anti strat. not to mention if there’s a brand new meta that hasn’t been fully figured out yet. these factors would have much more of an effect than just “less teams = easier to win”
i think it’s about time this negativity around 8 team masters needs to lighten up a bit. they’re probably still a bit less entertaining, but not at all less competitive

in order to qualify to playoffs, AG have to win at least 9 rounds on map 3. Otherwise, FPX will overtake them in round differential. BLG on the other hand are already guaranteed playoffs

or even just the core of reduxx, verno, skuba, throw in any decent smokes and another duelist and they would genuinely compete for trophies

yea but how many are horrific singe vehicular accidents?

idk maybe he was doing a quick visit. theres a really good korean bbq place nearby

DH was injured recently in a single vehicle accident
This morning, the main road to my school was blocked off because of a single vehicle accident.
Is DH in my town rn?

yea exactly, they made it a part of a different subregion, where even if you qualified to it, you would have to travel to SEA to actually play with bearable ping.

have a masters melbourne yet not even giving oceania its own subregion would be devious

g2 vs mibr match:

Everyone in the team is celebrating.
But aspas has other plans.
He leans towards tex and whispers come with me.
Tex flustered.
Asks "w-why?"
Aspas "u were a good boy today, i got gift for you."
Tex blushing.
Follows him.

They go in the backroom.

Tex "so? where's my gift?"
Aspas says nonchalantly "what rhymes with tex?"
Tex "m-m-mex?"
And they have a lovely dinner at mexican restaurant
Bajajajajajajaja

HOW WERE TEX AND BABYBAY THE BEST PLAYERS??

just wait til you hear about s0m

if riot revokes a teams partnership they don’t have to disband now, the open qualification means that GE and their roster could still compete in whatever region they declared themselves and still qualify to internationals

those top performing non partner teams still have to make rosters under subregions import rules, and it would create issues to have some teams follow one import rule and others follow a different one.
