perfectly on point

it was discussed during the summer when hooxi and nexa got kicked that niko could start IGLing, malbs goes to his roles and they get a 5th anchor (someone like JImpphat), but they just transformed malbs into an anchor

hunter is lurking, IGLS are usually with the pack, niko also doesn't like IGLing, says it's too early for this

I have a low ping, so for me the game is way better than it was on release, GO would probably still be better, but I feel cs2 is just a few problems fixes from becoming better. A lot of game breaking shit got fixed, hitreg improved, so I am quite happy about it.

malbs is kinda cracked, plays a bit of other roles, and g2 are probably losing niko and might even lose monesy, so it's dead now

it was too late before I noticed

maybe gambit vs acend then? Could have become a 3rd biggest scene, maybe some talents would jump from cs to val, didn't happen

I think fnatic m3c for eastern europe as a region. m3c wins, probably gets to masters 2022, maybe stays around for longer

2024 awp would break the game, 2022 awp would fuck up the game completely, 2015 awp would kill the game

watching donk's talent being wasted by 4 bots

my feminine king

bro his best help is a fucking choker in sh1ro who is allergic to stepping up when it matters

I wish he had a better team, bro now has to suffer thru s1mple's ''wait for 3 years before we give you a competent team''

cuz chopper calls absolute bullshit, I got completely tilted from one of the rounds on A, 3 people mid, 1 pit, 1 palace, zont1x dry peeks, dies, donk tries to play contact, gets one but gets traded immediately, magixx peeks to help dies as well. Just use chopper as the 1st entry and make donk's job easier

Operator's older brother

chopper is the worst IGL I have ever seen, might as well make sh1ro IGL+AWP and get Kyousuke. Like chopper takes star player roles and he still sucks ass

wow... https://clips.twitch.tv/HumbleExpensiveKumquatDerp-rupxCExSY1Q7uXYO
still lost the map on next round cuz his team is shit

give him the ''he deserves better man' D'or

Why are people surprised that GC is way worse than tier 1 pros? Like no shit, they are, these events aren't competititve, they are just for fun

Pearl gives me straight up Venezia vibes and I do not care about the lore of the game, as obviously my opinion is worth more for my own copypasta than a lore crafted by people who are paid for this at Riot

Hello, my name is Lorenzo Margaretti and I am the Venezian Merchant who owns a restauarant on Pearl. The past few weeks some homeless person has been coming into my restaurant and sitting on my couch. he told me his name was "c0m" and he was "lurking." can someone tell me what this means?

steel proud of such blatant matchfixing, welcome back NA

+1 to all of that, it would be better but it is not that critical, a pro not being able to defuse the bomb is like a quarterback who can't take a snap from his center

I still feel like the maps will feel like ass

yeah, but the 2 french orgs which are in vct are vitality and karmine corp
vitality are responsible for this: https://youtu.be/1uQYeXjkKMg and this https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8XZEiEDEOr8?feature=share
meanwhile KC did this https://youtu.be/ZskuoHsEc_Y and have a fucking home arena

I feel like lock in didn't face the problem of having to basically getting a 2nd venue just to fit in all the fans for the entire event, I am sure that if KC's owner were to live stream the games as well, with the crowd there will be 2x the crowd for one event

shit will be the IEM Rio 2022 of Valorant (a.k.a huge home team bias)

I feel like this whole ''buff, then nerf to the shitter'' strategy will once just roll in one big pile of shit and result in a complete and utter fun death

The only CS map which goes down to spam is fucking vertigo, the map which 99% of pros, teams, analytics and players consider to be a piece of shit which has no right to be in the game.

based change, before that was terrible for retakes

that's cancer what the fuck?

but then when you place the ping you can see it in the game itself and just spam it?

true, but I still disliked Spectre Divide's whole ''unique playstyle shit'' being mentioned anytime they played this game, like bro, Yoru got released in 2021

I am so confused, was the pings sent by the player going thru the smoke and showing you where the bomb is to secure easy spam?

that's why silent marketing is the best marketing (deadlock is literally unannounced yet shits on shroud's game)

Do these pros understand that the only ones Making a profit are Riot, and still with a question mark?

Crack head caster best caster

Cuz they are the only asian team who agreed to train in europe and not cry about being in an inferior region

ange1 comes from CS where a -20 IGL is a norm, he isn't like your saadhaks or boos, he is more like karrigan and zeus, his peers basically. You can afford to go -20 if you get up all of your team to go for a combined +40

I would rather correct it
-one stays at the same mid team because he wasn't good enough to warrant an upgrade or shit enough to get axed
-one goes to a team of a higher level who had a bad season
-one makes a move not forwards or backwards but sideways
-one isn't good enough to get t1 offers so becomes tier 2 dweller
-one retires completely

ange1 is friends with blade (goat CS/FPS coach) and zeus (best UA IGL in all of gaming), bro will literally shit on everyone in 2025

didn't see anything special, but that's just my totally not subjective opinion, nothing could have influenced it or anything

that one is still historically terrible

I ve thought of a possible clash with the cs major, but it appears they have two different venues, maybe PerfectWorld just asked the shanghai esports master's TO to move the event a day before

Someone just fucked up the days, no biggie

''The Shanghai Esports Masters 2024 is a two-day, four-team tournament happening from December 6-7 at the Jing’an Sports Center in Shanghai''
Maybe has something to do with the cs major being in Shanghai as well?

apac gained one more slot in Copenhagen this year already (before that it was 2 only) and now mongolz can secure asia it's first playoffs and a slot which allows the number 1 asian seed to skip the opening stage and go directly to legends stage.
Europe will drop down to 12-13 slots I believe, America will grow one or two, asia will stay put but gain the legends slot (if mongolz make it), Europe lost 4 slots in 1.5 years, if anything it's a sign that the game is growing in america and asia as well, and with the major likely expanding to 32 teams, there is a chance it goes 17-11-4 for Austin Major in 2025

I mean Brazil was kinda the same, it took Luminosity to take majors back to back and then LATAM just collectively went "we can do damage here". Now a team of young guns beats reigning major winners, a core of experienced players beats spirit and takes vitality to OT and pain have been quite consistent this year overall

I think it inspires China first and foremost (our neighbours won the biggest chip in that game, we can do that as well). The real W i see with mongolz winning is the fact that more asian teams will travel to europe to train and practice, just like the mongolz did. They are practically the pathfinder for the scene, they say "success can be found, but one must grind for it"
