Rage bait only for privacy nerds who think they own the internet. You play a Riot game, you follow Riot rules. Even if that meant recording your entire life, they are allowed to have those terms for their property and you can disagree and not play.

Besides, wtf are people saying in-game that they need privacy. Just tell me they're on A bro.

Few times I tried quitting the headaches were hell. It's crazy how dependent your body becomes on it. I needed a good week of just laying in bed to recover but I started drinking again to fix the headaches.

so liquid dropped basically everyone except nats and keiko.

but what is actually their realistic options here? unless they get the navi players or go international then idk.

yeah even tho its a niche language its nice to understand it if u enjoy japanese games/shows. or maybe just like the culture

like watching them and trying to translate? or just getting used to hearing the language

its so much to learn bro. so far i know the romaji/hiragana/katakana alphabet and simple phrases but still learning words and kanji.

practice makes perfect tho.

crazy to see all the liquid complainers get everything they wished for

emil - gone
jamppi - gone
enzo - gone
mistic - gone

nats - stays
keiko - stays (debatable)

i just feel like if cs blocked gambling tomorrow (even just skin-gambling and left regular betting) we would see a fair hit in cs viewership (including tier-1) and val wouldnt look as far behind as people suggest.

digital gambling is the saddest thing ever. i can understand card-games, sports betting and even mechanical machines to some degree. but how do ppl load up those digital slots not understanding that the script will fuck them over 90% of the time and they cant do anything to change it.

i got a question about ur studies. do u do morning studies or late night studies? i struggle to study in evening time and find it easier to get it all out in the morning and then have a chill evening.

but even a tier-1 organizer like eslcs promotes gambling and has gamblers active in their chats. i caught a segment a few days ago where the casters were even gambling during the half-time.

you could maybe debate the % of viewers watching because of bets vs people just watching for the entertainment i guess. but theres definitely a bump from gambling, think its hard to dispute that. the point really is just that valorants viewership isnt as bad as people make it out to be when you take it into context that valorant doesnt promote or try to involve themselves in that side of esports.

kinda makes me respect riot more for avoiding having a cs-like marketplace for valorant. maybe this is what they were thinking about.

i was thinking about this for the past month. whenever i watch cs games so much of the chat is filled with gamblers. i talked to some guy in chat who said it might be annoying but gamblers keep the viewers high. i saw a video about cs gambling too which made the same points that tournaments bend the knee to gambling sites for their viewers which seems true since they always have ads for gambling/trading sites on them.

valorant gets laughed at a lot for not having higher peaks than cs but isnt cs being inflated a lot by this gambling culture? im not rly impressed by a game having more viewers if a lot of them are only watching for their bets. for valorant to get even close to cs numbers just from pure entertainment is pretty good.

valorant apparently also stomps cs in just general streaming watchtime which would imply people are less interested in casually watching cs.

its the only wait it makes sense. idk whose debating this.

"...dephh, and cryocells" = seperate
"...dephh and cryocells" = together

now that you mention it its not like i need numbers. cleaner to just have a plain name

i don't see anything better than kangkang really. theyre probably equal at most. i remember the chart showing kk is the most consistent opper in t1 at buy:kills ratio even though he also buys it the most.

it would be super impressive to be better than that. the other oppers are nowhere close btw

wow i forgot about c9 yay. his track record has been bad since optic. cant imagine hes still worth a high salary.

is replacing the i in ur name for a 1 overdone now?

im making a new gamertag to start regular gaming again and i want to use my name and just change the i for 1 so its simple and clean. but i dont want to feel like a s1mple clone.

we cried so long for the 5th star

lets gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
