ig? his age group wasnt really in danger, but there was technically a fatality rate for the 20 year olds

but even then you had one of the worst long covid recoveries of all time, costing you years of your job (realistically permanently ngl)

that shits an L (regardless of if its because he's supposedly anti vax, or just because he got unlucky... covid absolutely owned him)

Some decent qualities, but the implementation ended up horrible

Was before I got my first SSD (laptop only at that point) so the whole user experience was borderline unusable, but returning to it for testing software comparability on a more powerful machine its fine

The core issue is that the windows store/apps just suck in general (on win10/11 too) so an OS that is more integrated with them just feels worse
The constant switching between Desktop and "Mobile" modes felt clunky too
Ultimately I ended up trying to do everything in the normal desktop mode cause those load times to swap between modes were maddening
Ik its gotten worse since, but the fact that they shipped the search function in the state they did BACK WHEN NO ONE HAD SSDs is also criminal

From a UX designer im definitely intrigued by the Mobile like layout for apps (since its SO much easier for newer users than folder structures), but it'd need better integration (and either everything or nothing should open on the desktop mode... same perceived action -> same result)

sliggy kept changing his to avoid the guarantees, so Kurt had to make it a hard rule that the initial votes are what counts

just pipe it into ffmpeg

something like 'ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "scale=180:-1" output.mp4'
but check the documentation, cause I can never remember the proper names for the settings

(ik thats not piping, but your editing softwares gonna have it own syntax for how to pipe the output into a custom encoder so cant really tell ya how)

Theyre beating the current worst team in pacific (going by maps > round diff), with a sub, so calm down
(Ofc youre not dropping s3xture though... whoever said that was drunk)

o I was thinking about the listen ins since (at least the ones Ive looked at) the videos always cut out important calls/reads from players

they wouldnt know who each voice is though....

Bump for the Turkish peeps, in case anyone has more info about how their comms sounded pre swap

well nah Crashies and Boaster are gone next year
as well as Alfa cause his contract is also up, but lets ignore that

you'd need prime Aspas to get PCF a win

bro is going to fnatic next year for sure

2023 Kru exists so nah, but theyre up there

I sure love these "mutual" agreements where one party has no say

I might just be weak, but fucking your sleep schedule before a night shift is never worth it for me

That being said actual good games today so ya know

https://www.vlr.gg/160667/vlr-gg-player-rating-explained and https://www.vlr.gg/381456/vlr-rating-2-0-update

just REALLY likes untraded kills compared to traded ones
equally hates deaths that arent traded immediately

so unlucky for entries

if youre in the US #2
if youre not in the US then unlucky

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/ if your flag is correct
used to be worthwhile to drive your parts over the border (I got some of mine in poland) but with the current prices and availability the % of difference just isnt worth it afaik, so use the german retailers on pcpartpicker

Given how mini does his stream vod reviews I dont think him covering live content would ever work out
He'd get distracted by someone talking about a movie and miss the entire map

nah, go in wanting to watch a movie
its a good movie and youll (probably) enjoy your time^^

just detach it from homer's odyssey, or youll leave jaded like so many of us have
despite the initial claims, the movie just isnt trying to be a faithful adaptation, so dont treat it as such

I wouldnt bet this week since theyre swapping their duelist
But nah, TH looked pretty rough so Id favor EF

ey look, those deeper blacks gonna make it easier to spot cypher trips for sure!

Google translates that section to "She was subsequently restrained by EG’s coach and psychologist; she never actually entered the room or got close to lissa."

Is that mistranslated? because that would once again disagree with the accusations that are being made
(From the vlr post I linked above "Trembolona leaked the office's security camera footage on twitter, you can clearly see srn hitting lissa while the coach and psychologist try to detain her, lissa even posted a picture of her bloodied bandages the next day")

Also why tf is thespike spamming articles on that instead of just updating smh

https://www.thespike.gg/br/valorant/news/valorant-eg-substituta-srn/8425
they only say argument though? or is that a translation error on my end?

The accusation is WAY more serious, so Id rather wait till we get actual proof
A deleted video from Trembolona (assuming https://www.vlr.gg/post/7044198/srnfps is correct), is one of the most unreliable sources I can think of (especially since Trembo has beeen hating on SRN for years now)

well.... we had 2 good al0 maps now...
we're still missing the map where he shits the bed unfortunately

Not surprising given that they wanted to take over GC couple years back

But dang, always worrying to see Saudi of all countries make moves like this

blindly taking data is stupid
if they dont wanna watch the games then pretending to know anything about what happened there would be disingenuous

well hope it works out
ngl im a tad scared after the g2 "I can make anyone an IGL" (second hand quote from Nukkye, not pipson directly) issues

whos calling then?
or is pipson going back to his old ways?

ik this is vlr but can we actually spend a second looking into things before we keep spreading misinformation

Spin wanted to keep t3xture, but GE (the org) was unable to come to an agreement with him while resigning - so he went to GenG. (Rumors were later that he was asking for double his current salary, but we dont know for sure)

The initial roster was then built around monyet, but after prx (and basically every other team in pacific according to spin) made an offer for him, he wanted to leave.

The decision to go with these "weird" picks was that they didnt want to pay the "insane" buyouts (Spin said 100k as an example) for unproven t2 players. Given how the previous year failed, wanting to actually trial the players before signing them seems fair.
But again, monetary limitations.

Mind you the actual fumble was getting benkai on the roster unfortunately; Polvi and Russ were perfectly in line with how mid blazeking and LF ended up being

See Tombizz' interview with Spin if you wanna listen to him explain the roster construction

well the DRX defense is gonna roll TS, but given that its looking like a 11-1 half I dont think that even matters

these guys? https://www.vlr.gg/team/matches/19218/misa-esports

but nah seriously go back to watch those "chokes" and all that nostalgia will fade
cause that lotus attack side was genuinely criminal the entire stage

Just dont think he's interested in competing atm
He was taking about possibly retiring since the first offseason going into franchising and we had a clip basically every year since

Still at uni atm afaik

sure
basically every valorant event youve watched is an international

heck bipo is an international mvp! https://www.vlr.gg/528307/eintracht-frankfurt-vs-mouz-challengers-2025-dach-evolution-split-3-gf

alternatively we use the old definition for internationals, so it has actual meaning

nah thats china
emea just has longer weeks this time around

W key comp
Dont think its even THAT shit in the current meta

... but they might wanna start using that sova util ngl

it is definitely horrible from a UI design perspective
I assume the post is more about the amount of content they have on ethan compared to vlr

for context: that shit was so temporary the Riot couldnt even be bothered to give him a name change and he just played on one of the spare accounts

GX only scout Spain, so tbf the pool was pretty small

+ B1sk and Globex were still competing when GX signed, so cant even get the 2 standout ones

The CCP has a ~1% share in the company (and as such has direct influence over it), but it is not owned by them.
It is perfectly reasonable to be cautious about their involvement in Valorant, so if you see any attempts being made to try and sportwash their image using valorant, feel free to post about it within VLRs rules^^

I have not seen any such attempts (especially given that they outright kneecapped china with the late launch) so far.

not really, when it also limits the most harmful thing for sportwashing campaigns (critical reporting on the Saudi regiems "issues")

it is the most neutral position they can take without outright allowing politics

ok, yes it genuinely criminal how the bracket worked out
like I dont understand how the 2 mid table teams (CGN vs CLK) was the decider in the top half, while MDR vs BAR was the opening in the lower half

BAR would mop the floor with both of them

LFG, ggs

forgot to turn the youtube stream on

normally its on https://www.youtube.com/@vctemea/
but twitch only today ig

I wont speak till this game is over

yes
but also they lost 13-3 to CGN map 1 so please dont jinx SGE :)

true
but Mundo is fun af to play so I feel like reworking him is just an instant PR loss
gotta nerf him first so people stop playing him and rework him after

Did they remake map 1 or whats going on with the stats? (even a remake doesnt explain it ngl, 228 adr -> 118 acs)

yea reading that back, thats on me ngl

split

just like the choke vs EF couple games ago https://www.vlr.gg/710279/fire-flux-esports-vs-cgn-esports-challengers-2026-emea-last-chance-qualifier-winners-b/?game=27618
