News just in today: Good teams can't have off tournaments.

Babysasuke try not to cherry pick evidence challenge: Difficulty impossible

I dont think you can get any better than that

XCOM2.

I no longer trust statistics

This definitely.

Others I rly liked:

• Bunny girl senpai: This anime is not about bunny girls. It's a series of short stories and it's quite urban-legend-y which I rly appreciated. Some fanservice but it genuinely isnt that bad.
• Violet Evergarden: The story itself isn't that amazing (hot take but I feel like a lot of the tearjerkers feel very forced) but it's a gorgeously beautiful anime.
• Grand Blue: Apparently it's a bunch of dudes hanging out on a beach. I heard it's good but I've never watched it.

That anime hurt like a fucken fist to the nose but it's still one of my favourites. 10/10 honestly.

bro thinks JohnQT can fix all of SEN's problems

SEN was 4th at the NA LCQ...

Fnatic wanted to keep him as HC but he said he's too burnt out from coaching and wants to spend more time outside the game. I would not be surprised if Fnatic was the one begging him to come back tbh.

Your first mistake was trying to apply facts and logic to an obvious bait post.

Whoosh

'Elmapuddy isn't yelling at them enough. These kids gonna get soft. Put me back CoJo.'

Coke in glass bottles taste better even when i know it's the same thing. It actually baffles me.

The Lime one with tacos is fire

Only correct answer. Idk what they put in that but that thing hits like Fanta mixed with cocaine. I get it every time I go to an italian place no matter how fancy it is.

No wait I actually don't get your point.
So you're saying that because LOUD lost aspas they're more likely to fall off compared to fnatic?

Losing Aspas definitely makes loud weaker but Fnatic is a team whose success is literally built on their innovation. If they lose that I think they would become far weaker than what Loud would be without aspas. You can argue that fnatic can still get carried by the mechanical skill of Derke and Alfa but they would be nowhere near as dominant.

Aspas isn't entirely carrying the team though. Loud now is weaker definitely but they still have a strong core to build around.

Also nobody is saying there will be a fucken downfall. I just said that if FNC doesn't fix the issues we've seen then they'll continue to be how like they were in champs.

I think champs fnatic was the worst we've seen them all year. They were getting really easily read and that's to be expected when they are being studied by everyone.

Boaster did say that by champs they were really burnt out and couldn't really come up with anything new. I don't doubt that fnatic can cook up new strategies in the upcoming year and if they do then Loud vs FNC is undoubtedly going to be the biggest rivalry.

I didn't get a single upgradeable skin this NM AND the last NM.

Im a Fnatic supporter but based on what we've seen at Champions we're getting rinsed unless Boaster cooks up something new.

On paper though, with both teams playing at their best, this is the correct answer.

Is it still just business??

Edit: I can't read

I mean it's still an awfully long time to stare into a screen.

I just feel sorry for Fnatic's eyes. 7 maps of valorant.

FNC played a match earlier today and now is coming back on stage to play a BO5. Shit's rough.

Thanks that was the one.
I found the other one you were talking about: https://twitter.com/Fang358_/status/1699376694103306634

There was a stats post on reddit a while back that showed that he had the highest clutch rate at champions or something. See if I can find it again, but bro clutches out a lot more than people think. He loses midround and early fights but that's typical of IGLs.

1) Hell freezes over
2) Fnatic plays harbour viper

Recency bias is a hell of a drug.

Okbuddy

I dont think he cares that he's not 'the best' when he's doing his job properly for his team and they're winning matches and trophies.

At this point his Raze does look better sometimes. It's more of a symptom of Fnatic's best maps all being Raze maps.

Someone who is consistently 2nd or 3rd best ITW is arguably better than someone who is first for a brief period and then falls off a cliff.

bro won a whole tournament on Raze only.

Genuine question. Aside from the name and prize money is there actually any real difference between a masters title and a champions title?
The main thing I can think of is that for champions everyone starts on the same starting blocks, but in most cases it would be the higher seeds from each region getting through anyways (like how in champs 2023 none of the LCQ teams made it out of groups).
The other one is that maybe champs being later on means weaker teams have shown more of their playbook and it tests which teams has more depth?

He's like Derke for fnatic. Can hype up the team when it comes down to it.

This makes me sad. Laz is still a really good Chamber and Dep still has a lot of potential. I hope at least Dep gets picked up somewhere and they get some discipline into him because I think that's his main issue. Man can click heads.

Was just gonna say. This guy is my age and Twisten is even younger and it really puts things into perspective that we're not invincible. Take care of yourselves guys.

Hands off the roster holy shit. If FNC even breathes on this roster I’m supporting KARMINE Corp.

Think the team is fine. Boaster just needs to cook over the off-season

That final transcended the game. It was a straight up life lesson about perseverance.

As a FNC fan bait like this is why i have a Vitality flair

Sydney so I can watch matches at a reasonable time.

Please?

Rn EG beats Fnatic. Tokyo FNC vs LA EG would be close but FNC probably wins. FNC rn is plagued by mistakes and predictability but back before everyone figured them out they were pretty close to watertight.

This site is literally 90% baiters hating on whichever team is fashionable to hate on rn lmao.

Ggwp to Loud. They all played giga well and I hope Fnatic learn and improve for next year. Thanks for giving us 3 maps
