watching tmv's stream of the mibr vs sen match was really entertaining

slim chickens ain’t too bad

i picked against the teams that i wanted to win so either i got perfect pickems or at least one of my favorite teams wins

dude its just an acronym no need to get worked up

i believe in patitek my goat

reduxx

at least the lower finals and grand finals are on the weekend

honestly cheese is over rated

nah make it personal; use deadlock ult

prelude to chaos (blue version)
also i think orion is high key underrated

sylvan and carpe came to an agreement before kickoff that they would play rock paper scissors and the winner got to play

zellsis

n1cf, i wish you the best in life

i started a deathmatch, then went afk, and when i came back i was in the lobby and it said i couldnt queue into a match. I went into the range just fine, but when i left the range, the buttons for every mode besides custom and premier were gone. has this happened to anyone else?
edit: nvm i just went into a custom and came out and it was fixed

oh yea i was just talking with jawg earlier lemme hit him up

either chamber or phoenix. i used to main phoenix and lock him almost every game, but i haven’t played him post buff so idk how good i am now. i’ve played chamber a lot recently and constantly frag well so he might be my new main

sen vs gen (champs 24 group b lower final)
one of the only matches where i genuinely celebrated afterwards

it’d be a good system if the skins weren’t already expensive as bitch

people aren’t ready for trace and liquid making playoffs

drx will do better than most people think, and definitely could win the event

i just find him fun. i’m trying to learn him so i can play him with my duo when she fixes her computer, tejo can be broken if you have even one other person coordinating abilities

i love the difference in seriousness between #21 and #22

when i was in middle school there was this seventh grader who genuinely looked like he could have a wife and kids

mostly initiator, bit of sentinel, but it’s likely because i hover tejo until i see what the comps lookin like

exact opposite of bleed

that’s a decent idea, problem is that all partnered teams have contracts to stay until 2027 or smth like that

i know this was 3 months ago, but ngl i still think people are under rating them

fair choices

which ones? im curious

actually those are good points, i understand now
still i think its fine as is now just for the uniqueness
i bet if 8 team masters continues to get low viewership they might do something

So? i get it might not have the same amount of hype as 12 or 16, but thats exactly the point: its different
if masters 1 and 2 were both 12 team with same format, it would be pretty much the same teams and the same matches (except americas, we inconsistant as fuck)
plus if anything it just means a higher percentage of banger matches

genuinely, no offense, but i dont see why people are saying bangkok will be boring
g2 looks like possibly the best team itw
vit has crazy aimers who arent scared to pull risky strats
sen, despite the fans, are actually really fun to watch (when they arent throwing)
edg could go for the first back to back champs and masters win
liquid could pull of some crazy upsets if its the right day
sure, the pacific teams are a bit boring without prx w gaming, but i dont think the current state of geng and th would really add anything to bangkok

tbh, you are right that just having mechanically cracked players can make you a top team, you still need good strats and team coordination to be number 1. a team with the top 5 aimers in the world wouldnt stand much of a chance against the 100th best aimers with really good strats

didn’t xset also not fully pay their players their share of the champs 22 skin profits

i don’t think optic or envy would be interested, and xset might not be the best idea

i could see them winning ascension then finding a replacement for ion and a temporary sub for cane.
they would just have to show out in stage 2 to at least get back to ascension next year

when was s0m’s comment said?

problem is canezera and i think ionx2 aren’t old enough

idk his exact birthday, all i’ve heard is that he can’t play til the beginning of the 2027 season, which gives more information than just 16 yo. don’t get your dick in a twist

i believe he can’t play til 2027

dude look at the account of the guy who said that

that’s what we all thought at 12-5

this team makes me wish there was no age requirement for vct

didn’t fns say this is for sure his last year?
if so i could see nrg respecting that and letting him stay on the roster until he retires

could you also do an average first encounter based on maps played?

dude all they do all day every day is play ranked. this might actually be better for them

2023 champs felt more fun to watch than 2024, but tbf 2023 champs was the first time i watched vct and that time period was a really happy time for me

each region has 10 partnered teams that will stay in tier 1 until i think 2027. this year, each region has 2 ascension teams that must make champions to keep their spot, or make regional stage 2 playoffs to go to this years ascension and fight for their spot back. if they can’t do either of those, they go back to challengers next year.
the ascension teams for each region are:
g2 and 2g in americas
m8 and apeks in emea
nongshim and boom in pacific
drg and xlg in china

Bili Bili Gaming cursed this team for 1000 years

i feel like this would be an interesting alternative to the champs group stage. they could keep it as win 2 before you lose 2, or if they wanna extend it make it win 3 before you lose 3
