fellow DaveeyS player flair 🫡
Such a shame, ever since his Lock//in interview with Yinsu, I was rooting for him to do well.
At least he reached his dream: represent his country/region and go to champions...
RIP goat :Sadge:

ANOTHER W FROM RIOT THEY'RE LISTENING

maybe they're just making shit decisions on purpose to then "listen to the community" so we feel appreciated and listened to but in reality we ask exactly what they were gonna do anyways

apparently he's been calling since after lock//in, so maybe they're keeping him on board as IGL
I agree from a role perspective though, they let go of baddyG last year in favor of Destrian, that was a massive L
But it might work out for them if Destrian turns out he can IGL well

it's also more towards the paper rex playstyle, which he thrives at and can call very well with it

Something like that yeah, he left because he disagreed on how the org was ran or smth along those lines.
Makes sense

Imagine denying amazing tier 1 opportunities because you want to just try to win ascension with your mates instead, you win the damn thing, you're happy because you can keep playing with them in tier 1...
Wake up, your org is shit and doesn't want the Riot money for two years, so in the end you'll have to split up anyways.

Riot at least give the slot to M80, that still gives incentive for tier 2 orgs to invest, as it's still performance based, thank you.

Sad but smart decision to go to NS now, so he can come back when he's eligible for tier 1

idk if anyone else has this, but on match pages the streams expand out, and it looks weird, only happens when vlr+ basic is on (I don't use the normal vlr+) image here: https://i.imgur.com/FCdPdqd.png
it's quite annoying to me as it does that after the page loaded (and the extension loads) so it shifts the screen and I have to scroll farther than normal.
hope it's just a stupid bug that can get fixed ty!

No more confusion

Nice scarz in the tournament!

Didn't have to wait that long

EG got all the odds favored to not fall to the second place curse
group B vs group D 💀💀💀

o7 now someone from bonkers to bleed
(2 players will not be able to play next year so bleed will need roster changes anyways)

Damn everyone really forgot he started in the Benelux before going to EP 😭

W MOVE
L from rito tho that heretics could make roster move but KC couldn't
LFG BENJYYYYY

source?

Seriously wondering what will happen with the guard now, they have to keep the org running for two years now right?
Like they get a ton of money from riot and if they make champs they get even more

Took them long enough to release the bracket everyone knew already

also NOOOO RRQ AND GE FOR ELIMINATION 😭

I hope they bring back the old format, or do something different. It makes it more than just another tournament (even though it's the most hype off season tournament already)

As a FNC fan since the team's signing and avid emea stan, Americas deserved the extra slot tbh.
But W my goat team deserved the win ❤️

That'd be so hype holyyyyy

If anything it's a more impressive feat to win a fully single elim tourney, how isn't that a major?

thanks for the quick answer!

what happened with VLR+ Basic, I refresh mid-match of EG/PRX and suddenly the extension is just called VLR+ and all the UI elements changed as if I installed normal VLR+ instead?

Finally a proper article about Twisten's passing other than "news almost missed"
Thanks eutalyx for this.

Sad for vitality but expected and kinda happy for the players/staff because I cannot imagine having to find and play with a replacement right after.

Forever the shorty king ❤️

Was looking for this thread, wtf 😭

Just have like a short paragraph of his Valorant career, starting with BIG, and going to vitality.
couple of pictures for filler
maybe another small paragraph to talk about that lots of people will donate money per shorty kill
THERE'S PLENTY FOR AN ARTICLE
NO GOOD REASON TO NOT MAKE ONE IT'S INCREDIBLY DISRESPECTFUL

RIB.GG EVEN HAS A SHORTY KILL COUNTER ON THE FRONT PAGE

Massive L

group B 💀

And harbor viper pearl B long spam fest meta

fair enough! I'm also glad china gets this opportunity from riot, even though I don't think they deserve it from a "how good the team is" pov, it helps the region develop to get better and make the sport more exciting to watch

chinese teams have been on the global stage since champs last year, you good?

we're spoiled, emea viewership is not that good so the times are better for NA than for EMEA
it makes sense, sucks, but makes sense

welp I just excluded it, malwarebytes is very weird sometimes, great plugin!
using basic right now :D

also the emoji thing is really neat :fnc;:fnc;:fnc;:fnc;

Malwarebytes blocks "snippet.host" but I don't know why?
I get this pop-up every time I load vlr.gg with the normal and basic VLR+ extension.
I checked out the site itself, isn't it just like a pastebin site or something?

they are still playing the same strats as week 1 of regular season, even mini admitted on stage that they are not even trying. he literally said "we picked attack on ascent because we want to practice that a bit more".
we won't see how good they are until tokyo playoffs, they haven't had to show anything yet

this ^

be the best team of their region, the VCLs have been fighting over that since the start of the year.

it is LAN, but not groups. the playoffs is in the VCT EMEA Coliseum in Berlin, as mentioned in the article
sucks to not have the group stage on LAN tho

Well now liquipedia is edited so I guess I got my answer

so liquipedia is just straight up wrong about TH not being able to reach playoffs?

if team chemistry is still poor after months of playing and scrimming, it's not going to solve itself overnight, and they had to try stuff out.

It was easy to notice that the chemistry in the team was off pretty much since day one, must have been hard to play in a team that doesn't gel with each other.
Sentinels had promising players, but it just didn't work out.
Curious to see what these players can do when it all works out internally

This thread makes me believe VLR is worse than Twitter

this, I'm talking in my comment about clout, and then compare him to tenz
mixwell is extremely clouted in the spanish community afaik
just like tenz is in the english speaking community

thanks for this, good to know he's doing well!
sad to see him go though, could've maybe been in franchising now, man's insane

MrFalin, frags really well for an IGL and has really good success with his team

probs didn't cheat in val, but he was banned in battalion I believe for cheating, multiple times and I believe even multiple games
don't quote me on that tho, that's what I remember from the heretics first strike days/rumour mill
