The info is usually revealed tomorrow in like 18~21 hours

I assumed its from those "8/8 bait would rate" internet messages youd see 14 years ago, but a play on it 0/8 as in bad bait
That or 0/8 stars cause this site uses 8 halves

^ objects when the sum of the forces applied to them is zero

What you're saying is somewhat sound but exposure to video games is only one aspect of it i'd say. Another aspect is the environment of joining pro teams and practicing with them. You can imagine just like how it could happen with women, if a trans person tried scrimming and trialing 10-20 years ago, they could have a hard time finding that space, and might not be taken seriously

The path to going pro that GC is trying to provide is not just exposing girls to computer games, its also the team eco systems they offer, the scrims that come from it and the lan experience stuff

did you think you cooked with this title? how does the L fit there lmao

okay but at least the 3 point ult let me have that one

Is cypher broken? no.
but for the next time he inevitably becomes more favorable than all other sentinels I suggest:
his trips are still global, but need to be activated. When cypher presses F on them from far they wire up and are active for 20 seconds.

This removes his permanent control over a part of the map if your team didn't happen to go there and break it, and also remove the toxic perma holds he had on some choke points (Sunset B main) without having to change the map geometry for him.
When it hasn't been activated you don't see the semi visible line too, so I suppose you could choose to activate it mid rush to catch the second/third player in if the entry player doesn't warn them.

side note, sadly if they activate on F, they can't be pulled back anymore, which idk how they deal with that, maybe make his ult 3 points, that shit is fun to activate on your team.

Finally a normal list

Im also here from yay's tweet, but how could teams possibly prep for a map not knowing which agent is banned?
Imagine prepping for set plays and suddenly your initiator is banned, or the only viable smoker on that map. The quality of the games would definitely decrease, and games will look like 2020 again

Valorant heroes are just too different from one another.

If it does happen however, I expect it to go like:
Team A+B veto two agents each, then each ban one, then they all pick.
That way if viper+gekko is your core idea, you are able to secure that

Came here after i heard on twitter FNS was top fragging,
I guess it must have been for 10 rounds max

With how different metas are every year and how potent anti stratting is in this game I don't think we'll have a faker for a long time

If we're talking actually the worst its gotta be arifureta and black bullet.

If its like smn i was excited for at first but now annoyingly fell off id say danmachi

look up on twitter deadlock intel or stuff like that accounts that still post, they add you on steam send you an invite, takes 1/2 days

Should have made it a believable sum of money like 5$

no vlr bait here, NT
Next year will be better

okay you can stop now please

heretics thank you for keeping my pickems alive but please give fnatic some rounds this is sad

apparently he's not even playing

i fucking love china

I really want coughing baby to win

I couldnt think of a worse scoreline to lose a tournament to

Riot confirmed the map pool will change after shanghai, I wanna see who guesses the map pools correctly
Current map pool: Ascent, Bind, Breeze, Icebox, Lotus, Split, Sunset.
Out of map pool: Haven Fracture Pearl, new map.

My guess: 2 changes only, ascent lotus out, haven new map in.
(i hope I'm wrong tho i love pearl fracture)

how will this affect SEN's legacy?

I like the kru beating loud odds better IMO. Under that assumption:

First sen gotta beat loud and furia, mainly loud so neither qual

Nrg vs EG game can go either way
If nrg win, EG, Loud dont qualify, mibr furia probably not either, sen can beat out G2 on maps

If EG win, kinda rough, 3 way tie worst case, but nrg has big map advantage so sen only qual if nrg lose to 100t aswell

It might not be easier but its definitely simpler, and kru arent bad at all i wouldnt bank on them bombing out 3 games rn

Edg :(

Im starting to understand why Tarik keeps joking about "come to brazil FNS", they really hate him over there LOL

Saving up all my copium for this one game LETS GO SEN

I like that franchising starts 4/4/4/4 and then each masters win can grant s region more spots, I think its nice we dont enter a new year with old expectations (like putting EG up a game kek)

split was vital but sadaak went crazy gg

Acend 2-0 NOM
one of thems a 13-5

Thank god its BO3 now
LETS GO ACEND

SR/BBL clear 2-0 EG/TL

Im kinda hardcore alive fan so its hard for me to judge fairly but i really like this lineup.
I havent watched too many apeks games but to be able to go 19-1 in bo1s probably requires a very competent IGL so im very excited to see it.

Rest of the players are also bangers 2024 will be hype for me for sure

Mf i thought you meant swiftplay..

Honestly if he does that it makes sense:
If you announce TGRD failed to sign so M80 made it instead, many will be upset that M80 snubbed the guard, whether from not reading into the whole story, making up stories etc.

If you announce NO ONES making it in and two weeks later work on bringing M80 in, you have a lot less grudges in the community, people think this is "the best compromise"

I saw the discussion "champions 2023 gf - tbd" i expected a really cringe edating post but its just the grand finals page 💀

They probably wrote the first two in real time and had some templates prepared for the second/third map per outcome. At least it seems that way to me because they are better reads imo

Fnatic just didnt let drx get into things on attack, at the end of the day they are a team with a wide map pool and great mental GG

Shit was so hype if you were rooting for EDG

ANOTHER CRAZY ROUND WHAT AM I WATCHING

THIS GAME IS SO GOOD

Swap B and S tier i think.
also, lotus has been fun to watch for the sole reason that it was recently in premier,
I gained more appreciation for how interesting it is when coordinated + its fun seeing what my friends were cooking but done better and taken 20 steps further by pro teams

well for now you're spot on...

GO ON A RUN???? THE ZERO AND NINE TEAM IS GONNA GO ON A RUN??

Most likely a gambler

The final cope

Sen 2-1 KRU

not being real is nothing new for us man
LETS GO SENNN

m8 are just the goats I guess

NOOOO WHAT DID I MISS

Man logically apeks probably have more experience anti stratting and a wider map pool...

Im hoping acend can push them into the later maps and start catching mistakes
