All y'all are cringe losers, istg transphobes have one joke, and it was never even funny
IDK if we both played and watched the same breeze, but 5 man rushes were far too common.
I just don't think that the breeze meta, which was 5 man rush through main after baiting a little utility, was interesting. There wasn't enough diversity of ideas. Breeze still has unique aspects, especially the long sight lines such as mid -> B, mid -> A, window -> B, etc, but now it has a far more diverse range of viable strategies.
While I understand that the main "gimmick" of breeze has somewhat been removed in certain places, I think that the overall changes will make for a more strategically interesting map. There are certainly ways that riot could have approached the redesign to keep the feel of the map better, but I think that they are a net positive.
In my opinion, the new breeze is an incredible upgrade over the old version of the map. Previously, the main strategy was to group up as 5 and hit A or B site as 5 through main. This new redesign means mid-control is made far more important. Maps where mid-control is essential, but risky to take for both teams are very entertaining and allow for a much deeper depth of strategy. People who are mad at the change are the same people who loved breeze for being a turn brain off and out-aim enemy map in the past. The only objectionable thing about the change is the removal of halls, I think there are better ways to approach that change, such as breakable doors which the attackers must break in order to gain access.
Fracture is genuinely a good map, more fun for me than ascent, pearl, lotus, bind, icebox, and old breeze (haven't played new one)
TBH i could see Xeta and Zest both being dropped for lakia, that man is so good.
You're probably right, I haven't really watched Korean valorant since 2022 since the challengers league doesn't have english casting, so I'm probably still kinda living in that time.
Idk I just like xeta, he looked really good in 2022
If DRX do have the budget for it, my prediction based on nothing but suspicion for DRX in 2024 is
Mako
Meteor
Rb
Xeta
Stax (igl)
Personally I think zest is likely to be first on the chopping block seeing as he was moved to 6th man for foxy9, and I believe that buzz is just not good enough for a title contending team. Personally I think xeta and meteor are both marginal upgrades, but those margins could be the difference between 5-6th and 1st. I keep Mako(duh), Stax as igl and because he's the face of DRX, and rb because I rate his insane flexibility super highly. What is your ideal DRX roster for 2024, preferably assuming they stick with a loose core from this year?
Mako is lowkey kinda tall too, and potentially built like a tank depending on if he lifts or is just overweight
Ye, that's a no-brainer. My bet is on a random draw with the two pools, and a rule that two teams from the same group can't play each other. It seems that they're drifting towards more randomly drawn brackets this year.
Ah okay so no official things saying it will be a/b and c/d, just basing off of last year's format.
why will group c and d go with each other, and group a/b go with each other? who's to say that it's not a random draw like groups were?
but why couldn't it be DRX vs GIA/KRU/EDG for example
how do you know what each matchup is?
Maybe a settings thing? Low settings look different to high? The fact that it's not a wallbang is the most confusing thing
I just got this message in PMs, obvious phishing. User has no posts. "Bantanoz"

Turns out you were right. He said he's using aimfury aimbot and of course he's still not banned. I literally have a screenshot of him admitting it. I think this is it (aimbot related web address) but I'm not sure.
Stax calls, has since Reykjavik 2022 iirc
Some contracts are done, so some players are free agents. No-one has come out and said that they want to leave or anything tho.
196 cm and uuuh like 115-120 kg? I'm unfit, but can't be bothered to change it

I think that this is just a symptom of TL underperforming expectations, while EDG overperformed expectations, so ofc edg are gonna be hyped up. Also when you start in playoffs you gain a significant advantage in your opening series, as you can vod the opponent far more easily and freely than your opponent.
I was super confused by this headline, I think that "mogul moves players looking for offers" would be far more clear.
saying that DRX are in a slump but loud is not seems wrong tbh.
please stop, DRX are effectively guaranteed to qualify for playoffs+
I have less belief in liquid than in DRX, imo drx are one of the teams who benefit the most from the graph (considering the reported burnout and their playstyle), and loud will almost certainly bounce back
For the expectations during the off season, this was a good finish.
Imo borkum is good enough to remain, and I'm not sure that there are any strong ph smokers.
It's important to keep in mind that TS was in most people's bottom 3 for pacific before lock in, so the fact that they are in the top half in insane. GG to my pioneys and I hope we see some new talent rise up from tier two into the pacific league next season, if TS can maintain their identity while upgrading firepower they could legitimately be top 3 in pacific next split.
true, i couldn't find a way to write it into the 8 words.
Not necessarily true, challengers could start as early as November. Off season will also have significant riot involvement.

Chamber vs Jett, Jett wins in terms of entertainment value. The real difference is double int vs double con, double con is way more boring to watch.
"Drag it out" - this is the main reason I prefer the manga. The manga's pacing is so much better than the anime, and there is no filler. OFC the power levels towards the start of the story aren't very threatening, crocodile is the first fight that gives genuine challenge to luffy.
OP is far better in manga form than anime IMO, you also have to remember that you are comparing episodes that released in 2003 or earlier to anime released in current day.
Yeah, her abilities are all just spur of the moment. There's still a fair bit of depth which comes from the "blinded" callout from the birds and pop flashes, but you don't need line-ups or super in depth map knowledge to get great value.
I'm loving this agent recently. Such a jack of all trades, can entry, can support, can stall for time, can drone, can heal. It's great, really seems to allow me to fill the gaps in my teammate's gameplay.

Ah yes, oceania, my favorite COUNTRY
Africa is the least developed continent because it has some of the best conditions for human life. If people are living comfortably, they are less likely to innovate. This means that the harsher conditions of Europe bred innovation, and those Europeans then took that innovation to dominate and exploit Africa.
I don't think so honestly. Pro valorant doesn't have much of a following here, altho there is a decent casual playerbase.
