I agree, vitality are looking a lot like your average ranked players with more discipline at the moment. Planning is atrocious

I agree to a certain extent although I feel like Sayfs ceiling is higher than Kicks. He just isn't cut out for the fragging IGL role

Trexx was definitely the wrong player to drop imo, Personally I would've still signed CyvOph and kept him as a 6th man at least for this split and re-evaluated from there but if someone had to be dropped it would've been Kicks over Trexx for me

Yeah I'm lucky enough that I can watch most of Pacific & the first map of the first EMEA game at work most of the time. Then I get home in time for the second half of map 2 and can watch the second game too before playing a bit.

Fri/ Sat I stay up late to watch the Americas games most of the time

I'm an Account Manager for a Freight Forwarding/ Logistics Firm

Honestly, I opened the stream up at 14-14 of map 3 last night and it seriously could've gone either way. Praying EG can finish G2 off now

I have 3 monitors so I just have it open on one of them, I sit facing everyone else though so nobody can see my screens and there's just a wall behind me so I'm chilling. I'm also the manager so 😂

9:28am and I just sat down at work, slow day today (My staff are taking care of everything else) so I'm chilling right now

It says that every time there's a tech pause... Nobodies cheating

Could they not just have players play from home instead of LAN for the sake of not having to take a 10 minutes tech pause between every round?

Players have played from home before like Riens at the start of 2024, just send everyone home and let the players play. How tf can a team build any momentum when your mental is full resetting between each round?

Surely it would be more stable than this shit show

Jinggg, Supamen, Lakia, Melser

CyvOph has been really impressive in his opening games but Vitality need to do better as a whole for him to get that sort of recognition

Hyunmin has proven he can perform internationally already, excited to see what the rest of the year looks like for him

Lukxo is looking really solid too, unfortunately loud and just problematic at the moment

Cortezia maybe recency bias from yesterdays game? Idk I haven't watched him much but still looks promising

Kaajak? Idk if he still counts as a rookie even though Apeks were in T2 last year before he moved but he's really starting to heat up, hopefully he's locked in for the TH match tonight

Mada is starting to turn up too, shame it's for a 4 man roster that won't see an international stage this year

Overall I feel like this is one of the most competitive years for rookies

Mini is just a quiet dude, I kinda enjoy his casting though it's super chill, he needs someone super hype with him though for balance.

MIMI on the other hand... Is fucking terrible, why does she sound like she's trying to shout in a library when she gets hype?!

Take into account

• calling
• fragging ability
• mental

G2 might be boring to watch but Valyn's calling is undeniable

Valyn ofc I don't think there's anyone else in contention really

HM for Nature this split

Mega hyped rookie duelist should not be going -27 overall against BBL idc

"Xeus" has unlimited aura.

Player should however be forced to change his name after going 22-41 on jett in a single map.

The way nobody has mentioned CyvOph is crazy to me

Edit: HM for our fallen brother Twisten

I've bought 5+ accounts and never been banned/ had any problems

To be fair, I bought turkish accounts for the cheaper VP and the currency on my account changed like a month ago from TRY to GBP so they must keep tabs on it to some level

For real just buy and account... I have like 5 accounts for different ranks all bought because I can't bear playing without skins

I'd love to see Dgzin become more consistent because when he's locked in he's insane. PancAda has kind of been their backbone the last few series so hopefully he keeps his form and yeah, mental reset for Cauanzin and Tuyz is definitely needed

Lukxo is looking v strong to be fair but I don't think the rest of the squad are up to it... Cauanzin has been slacking recently especially in the EG game

My collection is 20+ mostly niche fragrances

While it's still not that warm here I'm kinda rotating between Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir, Memoirs of a Perfume Collectors Tales from Zanzibar, Penhaligons Halfeti & Initio's Psychadelic Love.

Depends how you want to smell to start with & what you want to spend

it's not...

100% S0m & FNS. S0m & NRG would have so much more potential to do well without having to play 4v6 every game

Demon 1 vs Chronicle & Alfa on split

not the most impactful clutch but the atmosphere, hype and casting made it such an iconic moment

Val sim, is there access to the new engine demo?

Literally been playing this shi every day while work is quiet and I have nothing else to do in the office.

Lmk if you need any help with the dev process I have some exp
