not even the problem........ Lack of matches, lack of events, 6 months for teams who are eliminated before champs, teams being able to suck 0-11 and remain in the league

S1mple is kinda like LeBron, his final record looks bad cuz his team was. I refuse to believe any of his teams outside of Stockholm 2021 came into the playoffs as the favourite to win or even be in the finals

s1mple probably has the status in CIS and Europe overall, but Faker's only big region where people don't really care about him is CIS

Faker. However s1mple is kinda like Maradona for CIS was in Argentina pre-Messi. First big star for the region, first wins came with him, took on the international stage. Donk is kinda like Messi for that matter, the continuation of that trend. Albeit maybe Monesy changes that? Basically if donk doesn't keep up his pace from last year, CIS might get the goat

by that logic nats needs a squirell agent

Riot's focus on Asia will ruin EU And NA so bad that we might see an NA revival in CS, dropping val in the popularity there, and perhaps even killing off the game in europe. Val didn't expand into Scandinavia, doesn't give a fuck about CIS

I doubt a person has the drive to win when he literally feels disappointed in everything else

either you are confident enough in your inferior side or you think your dominant side is better than your opponent's.

fairly popular in eastern europe as well

Shit went from 0 to 100 to a million real fucking quick, wtf

socially inept, introvert, young, pretty much dependent on anyone. best case scenario: perhaps you find a gold digger GF and she only ruins your career (e.g. Boombl4 in CS, married a wh0re). Worst case scenario: Twisten.

I know that navi have one, but she is more focused on working with their cs roster. She probably does work with their valorant roster, but she travels with the cs roster, and given that they have a stretch of events of Australia-Kazakhstan-US-US to end the season, I doubt she will even care about the VCT

nah I translated, all good bro :D (my chinese ends at BING CHILLING, NI HAO, and WA SAO NIMA)

not chinese buddy, sry (rep China cuz I love JamYoung and JeeJEE)

Tyloo BnTet and xccurate, fucking tears man

Honestly, fuck every single org and VCT themselves for not taking responsibility and implementing psychologists back then. Whenever tragedy happens in football, autosport, or any other sport for that matter, there are mechanisms implemented immediately so that the situation doesn't repeat itself.
It's so sad to see riot not utilize the Twisten Foundation more. It would be the best way to honour Twisten, by preventing others from suffering the same fate

mongolz are the best team in the world in non-elimination/non-advancement matches

I mean these are what, 18-20 year olds who spend the entirety of their lives grinding the game and having to face uncertainty? Practically all of them are a ticking time bomb waiting to explode when things get rough. S1mon was a nuclear one, a guy who tasted wins so fast he got used to them and first losses triggered a fucking meltdown

or just use the belt to the ass to change the mental of the prick by force, depends on the mentality of your team

of why sport psychologists should be implemented in every organization ASAP. A clearly talented player who just didn't have the drive to win and had a lot of his internal issues which affected his teammates.

so the team happily organized him his replacement and he is now crying cuz he is replaced? Does he have a memory of a gold fish or what?

They have dealt with his lazy crying emo ass thru champs and bangkok, at some point you just give up on a person if you don't see them improve

twistzz is in his electronic phase now, we lost him bros

watch this motherfucker pull a ''I am a champs winner, I need your team to be an international contender, then I will maybe join you''

hope they just release him so his ass is unemployed

I would much rather deal with a guy who is tilted cuz he doesn't win than with a guy who is tilted cuz he can't get frags

Gets picked up by the best team in his region
thinks it is a given, not a privelege
acts like a fucking toddler
team sees he doesn't improve and tilts them as well
team decides to bench him and to protect him so that he can regain his confidence and fix his mental
Slimeon goes full emo mode in praccs and then vents his entitled opinions to the fans so that they can pity him
throws his teammates and the org under the bus
Gets exposed like a full on tilted emo slime
Career retirement speedrun %any

get fucked piece of shit, hope he enjoys working at Alibaba Factories

I feel like 90% of VCT China would kill themselves in training for even a chance to play for EDG and this piece of shit thinks it's a given not a privelege

so the guy had to be dealt with thru champs, then after winning he still remained an emo without any motivation to play anything, and then after he had no motivation and still remained depressed his team finally had enough and kicked him and now he is a full-on emo? Fucking retire pathetic slimeon

''the enemy of my enemy is my friend'' ahh mentality

Why do relegated teams in Prem still play 38 games?

Not like they will actually be there, they will again use their Be good enough to make champs but bad enough to get grouped 0-2™

Worst of the best or the best of the worst?

benefit is you fuck over your regional rival

Wouldn't they guarantee the number 1 seed by winning EG right now? So they can then just chill later? And not have to put yourself in a tougher situation?

Biggest party ever hosted in Chile if they make Toronto, bro already got the funds

I mean they are pricks if they lost on purpose, but I mean the format allows for that. Don't hate the player, hate the game

The format decides who deserves to go through, not whatever you, me or fucking tarik thinks.

Two fucking related google searches is enough for you to call someone a robot, this kind is cooked

Honestly:

1. Schumi
   2.Max
   3.Prost
   4.Senna
   5.Hamilton
   Yes I am a max fanboy, yes I rate him cuz he won 4 titles in 4 different scenarios, he deserved 2021 and Hamilton robbed himself in Baku.

Competitive integrity refers to the ethical standards and principles that govern fair play in competitive environments. It emphasizes the importance of honesty, respect, and accountability among participants to ensure that competition is conducted fairly and justly.

Match-fixing is the manipulation of the course or outcome of a match, whether for sporting, financial or other reasons, and represents a fundamental violation of sport's universal values, such as trust and integrity.

Verstappen v Hamilton

no fucking shot throwing a game intentionally is legal in riot's eyes. Just no, no no no no

So it's ok to fuck over a team just cuz they are 0-4 to start off?

Can't wait for keznit to drive to the arena for playoffs in a brand new ford mustang with the number plate ''FCK BZL''

'' It's not like they are losing to make money on betting sites''
Thing is, if you went far enough to fix the game to gain the benefit for the competition, why not go a tiny bit further and get some extra cash while at it?

what does it have to do with EG? They are just the bystander benifactor, the ones getting fucked over are LOUD. It doesn't matter how big or how old your sport is, having a mechanism to counter result fixing is what every organizer needs to do

And the format is the reason. Like how in the fuck can anyone call this a sport when you have a team throw away the number one seed just to fuck over a team they don't want to see in playoffs? Might as well script it like WWE, oh wait, that's basically what KRU did :D
