Man SicK was such a good player, hope he's doing better now.

This is gonna get a lot of downvotes, but Shahzam > Vanity. C9 would be better if they were building around Shahz as an IGL. Shahz is lowkey underrated asf at this point.

It's 18 for franchising

florescent is too young btw and so is Verno, but in a year they should be old enough.

Still with the weaboo t0nz stalker fan lol. Bro get some more material, c'mon.

Is "weirdo weaboo t0nz stalker fan" your only insult? lol

Fax

Recency Bias: yay barely played at all this year and his time was on a dysfunctional t2 team, and yet people wanna compare that to his performance across an entire year where he played better than damn near any player.

Because you can practice holding angles

Tbh, it's kinda mid now that Shaz and Dapr are gone. That was what made it interesting, there's not really a connection to SEN anymore.

Verno = Brawk is a crazy take tbh. Verno clears easily.

SEN and PRX both have S tier rosters

Duelist: zekken
Flex: d4v41 (Secondary Caller)
Initiator: Leo
Sentinel: Less (IGL)
Controller: Mako
6th: Smoggy

HC: fRod
AC: zikz
Extra Staff: Translators

It's also not just about potential gamers not even playing, but about potential pros who don't consider it a viable option, or at all. There is probably a good amount of non-male talent that don't try to go pro or aren't even aware it's possible for them to. That's one of the big benefits of game changers and the spotlight it brings.

It's actually sad that people think baiting is a good use of their time.

Bro let 2024 happen first lol

i dont need money
i dont need food
i dont need water
i dont need a girlfriend

all i want is PRX winning everything and Jinggg please just give me that i would change my money for it

This is such an L take, just don't let ScreaM IGL and you're fine. Also, Nivera is underrated asf he's actually really good. Bro's an Omen op god.

lol true

I didn't realize I should be going at other fan bases for no reason, especially in the off-season. Lmao people on this site are really something.

Didn't ask tbh but good for you I guess.

Nah bro are you fucking dumb? Like how does me saying not everything is a competition, mean I don't like competition? I love it, but sometimes there's just no need for it.

Bro literally no one asked, like genuinely how do EMEA fans always find some way to mention how many trophies EMEA has? Legit get a fucking life, holy shit, not everything is a competition.

PRX is going to be good, it just might feel a little different with Monyet instead of Jinggg. Both are good players, but they play differently, and that'll change how PRX plays too.

yay

WenZ

Lobster Fishers gonna go crazy in challengers next year

What if none of them know and it's attacking their ego so bad, that they pretend to know? They string everything along while saying "Hey we know, but the surprise will be great, just wait." Only for them to be also surprised at whatever move yay does.

15k posts is crazy, like how do you even get there? lmao

Bro fr, like just say what you wanna say, the forum is literally for that exact purpose.

C9:
koalanoob - $2
flyuh -$2
eeiu - $3
aproto - $2
jakee - free
Sean Gares - $4

Total: $13 (Let me cook fr)

Because either a mixed team already exists and needs to bootcamp, or a mixed team is being formed and they want to play together.

Well, my point was not about people in sexual or romantic relationships, but either way, for the purposes of boot camping with your team, you should be able to manage living with players of another gender.

Bro, it's literally just understanding how your teammates play and being able to communicate in-game, it's really not that deep lol.

No ik, but I'm just saying that it would be sad if that were the case.

Well yeah obviously some people are going to be weird, but that doesn't mean that no team can make this situation work.

Men should be able to have the restraint to not attempt sex with just any woman, especially someone they're living with.

I don't think you're misunderstanding my point. I do agree that the connection within your gender is different and can often bring you closer than other connections, but it's not like that's the only way in which people can connect. Plenty of people have close friends of other genders, and yeah I get it, that's a different thing, but for the purposes of team chemistry I don't see how a close friend connection can't be good enough.

Yeah but is it not kinda weird to suggest that male players can't live with non-male players? Like I swear some people of different genders room together in college and it works for them. Plus, it's their job, like imagine a team failing because a male player couldn't handle living around a woman, lol.

No, but I think the problem is that the goal should not be to stay in GC. It should be used as a transitionary period while you build team chem, improve strategies, and get experience. I think the goal should always be to make challengers, just like any other team's goal is.

'i dont mean it as a gender" If that's the case then you literally proved yourself wrong because then that kind of connection can be built regardless of gender.

But I do get what you're saying, as in that connection does exist, and is gendered. However, I'm still failing to see how that connection is so superior to other connections, that the only way teams can exist in any fashion, is through gender connections.

I do agree that the players themselves don't want to be just given a chance, but I was more referring to T2 than T1. Ik even then it's still unfair, but there's what, 12 teams that qualify, meaning there are 60 spots I find it hard to believe that a few GC players don't deserve 2 or 3 of those spots. The only thing really stopping any T3/T2 team from making a mixed-roster is that they'd be the first to do so, and thus, they'll get looked upon much closer. As for T1, it's just trials really, maybe none of the players would make it via trials, but that's really the first step.

Nah, I've played soccer (football) throughout my childhood, but the reason why those teams are described as brotherhoods is that it's just all-male teams. That doesn't mean then that mixed teams can't function on the basis that a brotherhood can't be established. It's just a connection that relates specifically to boys and men.

He would be a W sentinel let's be real.

But why do players on a team have to operate like brothers? Team chemistry can be built on other connections too.

Bro what? Like aren't a lot of game changers players friends with VCT and VCL players?

That's your opinion sure, but I think some of the GC players are really underrated. The more I think about it too, I'm kind of in favor of a team just taking a punt on one or two of the best GC players, simply because there has to be a way to get into T2/T1 without being on a team that qualifies. Ik this might sound a little unfair, but until any GC player gets added to a mix-team or a team qualifies, they're kind of just stuck. Hopefully, V1 can make it into challengers next year, but it kinda sucks teams only get one chance to make it.

Some probably, others no, but I would say there are at least a few that deserve trials.

W post, but you're getting downvoted by a lot of people I bet.

Can't wait to see you back in a few months once the next year of VCT starts.
