nah same thing happened with ec1s. i feel for them

more like pansy is an amazing caster so she does most of the talking. im going to give mini the benefit of the doubt and say he's probably never been a caster and he doesn't rly know how to

thank god he found a home bc that would be one of the biggest missed pick ups alongside sscary

1. yes
2. sen always has pressure, but there stakes aren't as high as the people/teams i listed. their spot in franchising isn't on the line and the fans will be there no matter what
3. yes
4. SEN apply to this oen i think. they have expectations pressure, but not massive stakes. the only two of those four that the stakes are high are g2 and nrg bc nrg had an abysmal 2024 season and g2 could potentially be regulated from t1. vit is really the only one of the three that only have expectation pressure

I agree with the first part, but the second part I don't. Derke wanted to explore his options and instead of keeping him in contract jail, FNC did the ethical thing to do and let him go because he wanted to compete with VIT. Look at how much backlash EG received when they(obviously) tried to keep all their players in contract jail. Sure it's a massive blow to FNC, but it was the right decision

well kirya and simp4s0m being known should not be a good thing. i think people like you being known is a great thing cuz ur a great member

am i known on vlr? genuine question cuz i haven't been around much during off season but i was during the reg season

Let me preface this by saying that sure vit/nrg/sen/lev will have eyes on them, but im doing this based off who has the most at stake if they don't do well this year

1. Flor. She is the one who is bridging the gap between GC and T1, and if she doesn't do well, the transphobia and misogyny will only increase
2. Yay. This year is probably his last chance to fix his image and get a chance to compete in t1 or a good t2 team
3. Demon1. Same reason as yay, if he can't look anywhere near his peak, his stocks will plummet
4. PRX. If PRX don't do well this year, I'd honestly start pulling the trigger. Idk who they'd shoot, but something will have to change.
5. Pancada. This will be the first year in what, two years? If he doesn't do well this year, stocks will plummet.
6. Team Heretics. If they don't do anywhere near what they did last year, they're going to start pulling the trigger. Miniboo has the most eyes on him i think
7. EDG. I really really really hope EDG are the team to break the champs curse, and they're already beating it by not making any changes(except letting haodong go but he was the AC), but all they need to do is get some international wins and the pressure won't be as extreme imo

HM: If Leo comes back, eyes will DEFINITELY be on him to see if he will perform to the same standard as he did before

nah icl, the match was played horribly

go back and watch edg's tokyo run. specifically their match against t1 on haven. i can't remember which one it was, but i think the second time they faced off against each other

yes!

oh and brenshow are casting it? fuck yeah i'll watch it

all good. i'll still check out lock in match

how old are you? cuz i dont think any highschooler would ever use military time with their friends

was there a pearl map

yeah but military time means i have to use math cuz do you say to your friend in person "omg it's almost 22:00, i should go to bed" or something like that

i'll watch it.

i remember there was a regular season match where they just looked insane. i remember one of the players(i think the viper was khalil) on pearl was just having an absolute heater. do you know what match that was?

uh americas start thursday

read the text

lock in or 2022 one?

you're probably 14. when would you have ever gotten a job

im bored rn and im considering watching 2023 furia where they looked goated for like two games or a gen.g match from last year. if i do watch geng, what match should i watch

an american using military time is crazy to me

time of day or calendar time

mr 4k?

oh shit sorry. i totally misread your post. i thought you were saying behemoth was the result of failed parenting and you were tired of transphobes and that you were telling them to shut the fuck up <3

icebox viper though

tbf i dont think that the post had anything to do with transphobia. they're just saying flor is on a shit team/she's a shit player

not transphobia

bro wasn't ascent gone for like a couple months during the offseason??

icebox holds a special place in my heart bc so many iconic plays have come from icebox, and i ALWAYS got haven when i played so i kinda got tired of it

will be rooting for you, my goat

wait nvm idk how i didn't see that furia are missing their match

Watching VCT:

1. Fracture
2. Bind
3. Split
4. Lotus
5. Pearl
6. Icebox(ik hot take but there have been so many viper clutches on that map that I just love it)
7. Haven
8. Ascent
9. Abyss
10. Sunset
11. Breeze

Ranking based off of how excited I'd be to see the map when I load into a comp game

1. Ascent
2. Fracture
3. Bind
4. Pearl
5. Icebox
6. Split
7. Lotus
8. Haven
9. Abyss
10. Sunset
11. Breeze

this is just you guessing cuz funds are depleting right

who is this ambrosia team? they're cooking teams in prac

noob

how do i have more posts than him. that's really bad.

valid

shit yeah him. where's he at?

See i would have no problem admitting that I may be wrong, but I still can't overlook the fact that they have tried their best in tier 2, but they didn't make it that far. Yes, I haven't watched much of GC, but you can't lie that SR have been getting hard carried by flor. All the players in gc are unproven. Flor has at least had other tier2 experience, but i can't call gc "experience". The teamplay from what i've seen isn't the best, and i think it just needs more time to develop

Love the shiny version of it

Ik you didn’t say that, I was saying that so the degens didn’t come here and say that’s why they’re bad

Th won’t be number one this year. Miniboo isn’t the best duelist and I preferred them when it was wo0t on duelist. Hes like icy imo. He’s not bad, but there are better duelists out there. Th is a good team besides him and the only other change you could argue for is MAYBE boo but he’s not bad and he did lead them to two grand finals. They won’t be terrible, but if they don’t have the neon meta and because of how much the competition has leveled up this year calling them emea’s number 1 team is kinda crazy

But think about it: she’s already receiving a ton of pressure bc she’s the first to bridge the gap between gc and t1, but if her team starts doing badly, then eyes will turn to her even if it may not be her fault. Idc what team takes her, as long as they’re able to do SOMETHING. Flor isn’t even my favorite player but I think her doing well this year is vital for both gc and t1 scenes. Look at china and edg. Ik they’re pretty different but they were both clowned on but edg shut most of the haters up

With where the gc talent is at right now, all of the rosters probably have a better chance of doing something than the gc teams

Yeah it’s time for your meds grandpa

How good is vakk? Better or worse than chiwa and should I change my Pickems(I don’t remember if I had them winning any matches tho)

Not to self:

Probably because it’s not like c9 is the worst team in the league. They have a star duelist and some decent players backing him up. But your comment in china is crazy

He’s trolling I think
