I hate it. I come to this site for mature discussions of the game and all I get is ragebait

Same thing you said yourself, as long as it's not all bait it's fine. But ragebait is just so stupid why do people do that

You're all my favorites (when you don't bait)

W jenopelle

Literally last year's G2 in Shanghai

RRQ is a good team, I got them making playoffs in both stages and maybe champs

inb4 dambi spills noodles all over RRQ keyboard and runs circles around them

(This is an example of bad humor(

who y'all got?

I think this is a sleeper pick for a banger match, I got NS in a close 2-1

how did this end 13-11 holy toss

I stand corrected

Florescent is Male to Female

as for the vlr question idk recency bias

1st match nerves + he arrived in Berlin this morning

but his firepower was reported as not amazing

WHO CARES WE TAKE THOSE <3333

W FLORESCENT

Fnatic look shaky, maybe top 6

TH were sick in their game against M8's, still not much is known

Vitality played a close game with KC and it was cinema, definitely a top2 team in EMEA

coaches are forcing him onto the yoru to fit the weird comps

either that or the marteen yoru onetrick allegations are true

KC are having an off-day it seems

but also the marteen yoru doesn't really fit into some of the comps

Zest is the goat, Zest in my throat

EG over a year of being irrelevant

L England flagger

(jk I love EG)

I'm dogshit at the game and very frequently miss

Detonate for detonation <3

we welcome new users to vlr <3

I'm sorry but if you trust in Liquid in 2025 you deserved it

being a Valorant Tyloo fan must be rough

oowyz

China IS the best region after all (jk)

I watch most of China and APAC (But prioritize China), all of EMEA and almost no Americas cuz it's too late at night

bro really put "chamber" instead of yay lmao fair enough

KRU -2G looking like Prime Toilet Bowl Valorant

also EG>Furia(sub) (I'm a yay apologist)

I don't think I did, I put Fnatic and FNS (FiNESSE)

who do you think looked more fraudulent in that series? Liquid or KOI?

this season there's like 4 - 5 teams that can run away with the whole thing. Like T1. Geng, DRX, NS, and I'll give your PRX as well

I understand Pacific is very well rounded, I think that all of the regions are
T1 I agree with, NS I'm not that high on them, DRX: fine. we are yet to see GenG play and I'm kinda out on PRX as of writing this

but I do get your point

some of the games WERE that bad tbh

so true

Wolves looked clueless and are an actual waste of talent in China
EDG got hard outgunned and anti'd
the 3 hour FNC-BBL game ruined my day
TL-KOI fracture was so bad it was hilarios
FNS is geriatric
and we still had great moments like KC-VIT, florescent debut, Lewnacy

Week 1 was so weird

I have not watched enough pacific to know if GE and RRQ look better

I just know PRX were playing like it was 2022 and still ALMOST beat T1 on Split

PRX looked kinda dog but that should not have been 13-11

Dambi will get better trust

He's only played against 2 Tier1 teams and will understand as he goes on that he can't get away with the shit he was pulling in Tier2 because he'll get shot in the head (this is my shallow understanding after watching map 1)

But we also saw the other half of that spectrum, when Sentinels lost like 3 rounds to time and plant denial.

I know it sounds wack but you have to trust me on this one

China seems more competitive than Americas

And I don't mean internationally just internally, the games are on a higher level relative to what we expect from the region

I have not and I will not because that game did not matter
Also just helps my point

I have watched the VOD, the FNS Biden round, Xeppaa god game, the fake comeback

I will concede that the top of Americas is just as good as the top of EMEA or China (again no data on Pacific yet)

However the middle and especially the bottom teams look so much worse compared to their counterparts

How could I improve my bait? (also I was being serious)

(I need to start baiting for engagements)
Right now Americas is looking like the 3rd best region behind EMEA and China (no solid data on Pacific yet)
The shit that I've seen is so bad, I thought so much better of this region and I've been let down again and again
This is poo

Bruh both teams looked like shit in this match

I expected better from Kru

Both teams just walking in alone relying on individuals

GG Loud

no they do not

yeah check out the round on Split where Dambi slid into 3 players of Zeta and gigafed

(btw I believe in NS but they won't win everything)

no I'm omen because I'm an octopus

bro really tried to sneak in primmie

being serious it's all up to preference who to pick for duelist

bro remembered the password.

unlucky

you are right in the case of Furia players being the only victims

but realistically what do you want Riot to do? it's unfrotunate is all

This is not Riot's fault, Furia did everything by the book and applied for visas in October. Blame the USA for taking until JANUARY to approve them
