obvious exaggeration

VIT ARE GOING DOWN TODAY TO VP AND THEN 2-3 ELIMINATION, YALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

you don't understand. My pick'ems are so cooked that I require two sacrifices.........

I am sorry, but my goat EmiliaQAQ needs to die for the sake of my pick'em

They will, but the region will fall further and further

we already have 4 russian teams ready to shit on any asian flukers, 5 more coming up

Riot games have fallen tho

Fortnite has fallen to another foe, brainrot

asian bros aren't as dominant there yet (in before the major final of austin is Lynn Vision vs Mongolz)

Valve games are our only hope then

Just give my boy Drugovich a seat tho

ok so now I see that PRX are very racist towards Europeans, I respect the racism in esports, PRX have got themselves a fan

What the fuck happened how in the world are 3/6 EU+Americas teams out with Americas number 1 seed already on the ropes after round 1?

Team Secret says yes. aspas has put out a tweet, where he said that: I understand that, without my agreement, Team Secret have put out a press release late this afternoon that I am playing for them next year. This is wrong and I have not signed a contract with Team Secret for 2026. I will not be playing for Team Secret next year.

literally never the issue in CS tho...

no clue actually, having a history of employment in EU pretty much secures your visa in CS, but I guess not in val, might have something to do with BBL themselve

since 2022 the only visa issue which has happened with CIS orgs was a 3 day visa delay for degster in Cologne (in Germany only)

Or val orgs just can't apply for a visa like normal organisations in CS. It's never the problem for cs teams or players to get a visa, sometimes it just comes down to time.

not a single visa issue for someone like monesy who plays for an eu org

who wants to watch g2?

ZYPOO GET SHIT ON

it's not throwing them under the bus, it forces you to think about the game. Electronic was the same way, he was a top 4 player in his prime because blade made sure he knew every single fucking mistake

basically it was unlucky after boombl4 got kicked, then elec was forced into this role

asia hatewatching didn't work well

csgo>val=>cs2

electronic never was an IGL, he was forced to since 2022

short summary of what he said, no need for translation, the sheer amount of blyat cyka screams aura (he talks about it post-game with his ex-teammate ceh9 when gambit went on a fairytale run and won astralis in semifinals) https://youtu.be/-bMgaizhmWE?t=97

no way navi are picking up russians, it might be correct from the result-standpoint but it won't happen

navi prefer politics over results.

CIS is a really strange reason in terms of comms and stuff. Zeus, the best CIS IGL of all time (schooled Ange1 in CS), won the Krakow Major in 2017 after yelling at his team for 2.5 minutes straight. REsult? 4 rounds in a row vs astralis in the semifinals. CIS NAVI was all screams no coherency, were winning plenty of events.

watching 1st stage major, and my 3-0 and 0-3 pick looks fucked, nice :)

Complexity is so unlucky man, like dafuq you mean they just got top 4 in bucharest and hallzerk doesn't have a visa?

30 bomb in map 3 of grand final vs the most in form team in the world

I am 100% positive of what is going to happen. They kick aleksi and jL, make iM IGL, get Makazze and dem0n from their academy, team sucks because iM is not the IGL, he is a 2nd caller, b1t says ''LMAO'' and fucks off to falcons, navi stay international and sign some tier 2 player (to save money ofc), s1mple's contract runs out and he just goes to faze for free, then they kick iM because he is bad, they get Krabeni and then finally get some results when they just promote the entire navi junior roster

buddy, ami went 0 for fucking 5 in w0nderfool replacement, who is just koalanoob in CS ( albeit a bit better).
-let monesy go to falcons (monesy is raised in navi and stated several times that he wants to play for navi)
-let jambo walk to fnatic (just completely avoided even attempting to sign him)
-didn't attempt to sign r1nkle (even though he carries dead NiP)
-let s1mple get loaned to faze (he still clears w0nderLUL)
-won't sign device (who is a perfect system AWPer)

or cs, albeit they are kinda underperforming rn...

franchising always leads to this

I really doubt gaimin get in. Their biggest fanbase came from CIS and they fucked off all of them by kicking dyrachyo and then letting quinn just casually shit talk russia and kazakhstan

wouldn't say it is prestigious in CS, it's same tier as PGLs, Blast rivals and open, events like melbourne. The reason why people in val think it's irrelevant is because it is not a part of the circuit, it doesn't impact the vct in the slightest in terms of who gets to another event. In CS EWC is like the third big event of the second 2025 season, likely will be the event which decides who gets the top 8 invites to the events right before the major

they can't decide on the time they will be at the ewc, ewc gives them the slot in the schedule and riot just have to play around it.

no way saudi fight for valo to feature at ewc for like 2 years and then just settle for academy teams

I mean I have my doubts about the org when they sign taz and snax and expect their star players to be fine with it

mr12 has been run in CS 1.6 and source at official tournaments before it was settled on MR15, let's not act like val devs were the first to come up with mr12

no shame in copying the thing which is better

honestly depends on what form they bring to Dallas

And because CS overtime is longer having one overtime is enough for like 4x fun valorant OT brings

I mean if they do it after Austin, b1t has the chance to become the dupreeh of cs2 in terms of major wins

no shit sherlock

there were rumours that a +b1t to g2 was close, falcons has way more clout to get b1t, and they both said that they don't mind teaming up

every single team will look at them for the major, hold them in their sights. And given major's unique format, where number 1 faces number 9 in the opening game, a team from the second stage will come warmed up and will target vitality
