still waiting for an example btw

drx game was always gonna be bad for them bc drx perma is lotus

true, but it really felt like FUT had completely checked out on map 3. it seemed like their mental was completely shot

that's something they'll probably also need to fix. otherwise i agree, FUT has a bright future and i hope to see them do well in champs

i have a brazilian friend who i sometimes speaks spanish to and she replies in portuguese and we understand each other almost perfectly :D

agree, but the game would've probably been closer

tbh i don't see why not -- esports is something i watch very often (and not just valorant -- LoL, csgo, and sometimes rocket league too). if esports ever went PPV i would probably pay for it especially if they unify all the games into one channel (like ESPN for a lot of sports)

sadly that won't happen and we'd probably have to pay a separate subscription for each game. in which case i probably wouldn't

i was a Foxy9 believer but he needs more time to cook. that was just a BuZz masterclass

Foxy9 isn't ready yet

BuZz must stay duelist

if he does, DRX could go far despite this slow start

idk if dropping penny is the move. penny is a great jett.

honestly, g2 should be leaning into double duelist more. penny jett, oxy raze. and/or force oxy to flex and make penny the main duelist. oxy can be extremely good when he's on, but when he's not he's really bad. oxy needs more time (and/or a team that can actually discipline him)

i agree on replacing wippie with bjor, MAD wasn't good but bjor was one of the few good parts

bojack horseman (6 seasons but 12 30-min episodes per season so not that long)

i don't even dislike T1 (in fact i really like them) but if EDG wins i'll be so happy for them

lol i forgot crawfish isn't seafood

seafood-adjacent

still, bacon wrapped shrimp clears everything

the only seafood i eat is shrimp and only when it's wrapped in bacon and stuffed with jalapeno

i recommend

never liked crawfish much for the same reason as you, it demolishes my intestines

i used to be in your same boat (not india, but i lived in places that never got a single concert by almost any artist). now that i'm here i'm taking advantage of all i can get. let's hope india gets their concerts one day, i know they'd be hype

what is blud wafflin about

i see very little politics talk here (not to mention that politics discussion isn't even allowed to start), the only consistent political thing i see is people clowning on HassanWillSaveAmerica

NTA, they should've looked both ways

edit: thanks for the gold kind stranger!

funnily enough i regularly listen to foo fighters and linkin park, so i'm glad people are saying those hehe

on my end, i'm listening to a lot of BABYMETAL, Kid Kapichi, Royal Blood, and Nothing But Thieves, mostly because I'll be seeing all of them live this fall >:)

and they'll still cry 11-3 (mickey mouse tourney btw) whenever they see a brazil flag

not to mention 11-3 which emea frogs will mention even when val is 10 years old and dead

yeah :/ all the APAC teams that aren't the top 3 are just really underwhelming rn

i still think TS will at least put on a decent show compared to GenG (and maybe zeta)

they're both weak af. both mad inconsistent. tbh i'd rather have team secret in champs as unlikely as it is they make it

flair check

in pro play, no. unless you're igl-ing, you just do what your igl tells you to do with the occasional improvisation (say a clutch round)

in ranked, possibly. if pro play is 75% set play and 25% improv, ranked is 25% set play and 75% improv. at that point you're depended upon to throw your util to parts of the map you're not in (especially if you play someone like astra), so you end up having little util for yourself to survive. not to mention having to read the map and your opponent if your team isn't comming any noise or util from the other team.

i agree with what CorpL said in #9 -- smokes is the hardest to play the lower in rank you go, but as you go further up the ranks and start looking at team play and true mastery, it gets easier

good

Loud got grouped by OpTic

NAVI got grouped by Edward Gaming

lmao

he my new favorite player fr

NAVI got grouped? LMAO

he did well, ggs to him

will be rooting for him to escape the group

point me to one then kekw

still waiting on your example of racism towards eu (lmao)

i was more a 6K fan hehe, but FS is our LA-N rep for ascension so i'm supporting the boys

real talk though they're gonna go 0-4 probably, but i'm sticking with them to the end o7

those that say they're top 3 are on a little bit of copium, even as a PRX fan. top 5? sure, especially with something. i'd say they're always dark horses, but never favorites (for now at least)

who cars? i support my country and my region, not to mention i'm also american

who igl tho :/ this isn't prx unfortunately

bro EG weren't even expected to make league playoffs, basically all of Americas is rooting for them rn. idt anyone will stop cheering for them for a while

they said top 5 not bottom 5

smokes: mako
duelist: demon1
initiator+igl: xeta
sentinel: buzz
flex: f0rsaken

literal HLTV frog coming to praise his 20 year old game again lmao

the two games can coexist

stopped reading at FNC flair

prime KRU vs current T1: 2-1 T1, but close matches
current KRU vs current T1: 2-0 T1, both stomps

nah bro i have the script, EDG 2-0 NAVI trust

cNed killjoy

that ain't happening bud

yeah, the same principle applies to how demon1 and something have shown up. foxy9 may just be a late bloomer

real

5'9

genetics helped me a lot though, both my parents are 5'2 and only a couple of uncles are around my height lmao

official website says shrine auditorium for groups/playoffs and semis/finals at kia forum!

don't worry champs 2024 will be in mumbai (real talk though i feel like singapore or seoul would be a good next LAN location too)

i know, i didn't mean it to disparage the saudi league -- i don't mind it at all. sorry if my previous comment seemed like that. i just dislike that everyone says that they're "ruining football" by throwing money at players like they wouldn't go there for that amount of money themselves. it just happens that the majority of the players heading there aren't in their prime anymore and know that most european teams wouldn't take them anymore without a gigantic pay cut

it's not, they're just throwing so much money at (mostly) declining players to make their league relevant. 99% of people would sell out for that amount of money tbh
