gr8 b8 m8 I r8 0/8
yea thats my oldest "memory" of x/8 too

edit: 3 minutes too late looking for the oldest example, see #8 for original "rediscovery"

just the contract expiring
wasnt part of the team pre event and only got signed for the duration of the event

(re-)read this https://www.vlr.gg/160667/vlr-gg-player-rating-explained
and then watch the game back with it in mind. Maybe youll notice stuff that doesnt show up in the initial stats that would explain the high rating

starki carrying mouz to a map 3, what a map from him

thats true, so I see why you probably just want another very experienced player like shadow for a similar system like they have right now
not 100% sure how they do it (theres so much contradicting reporting on KOIs igl situation everywhere) but I think they have a split igl system with Shadow being the main one
Pati could work, hes one of the most veteran players on the market, but its gonna be a huge risk again

GoNext have a polish IGL whos doing very well for himself atm https://www.vlr.gg/player/1155/buld if you wanna try and slot him in somewhere

and you now have a roster with no igl (unless you wanna go back to the starxo igl times... cause those went well)

Liquid just making sure they can get Soulcas back because it just doesnt feel right without him...

they did not

100t are also VERY good on bind (the map that carried them all of Americas)
gonna depend on if 100t cooked; id expect they did since they let it through

there's still 1 more tourney, but so far yes
easily even

Nah platchat is great for entertainment value atm + exclusive interviews
Theres sliggy and Sgares if youre looking for a bit of insight/pointers what to pay attention to while watching
and if Im only watching on the second monitor its the main stream

Meddo taking SK to map 3 with that 1v3 clutch for OT
What a series from NXT so far, just showing off how good a trade focused game plan is in tier 2

The only reason EMEA only has 1 team left is because they lost to other EMEA teams (dont look at the upper bracket) so clearly EMEA still on top

Very glad we finally have ianto's dogs Requiem in t2
Great showing from them and cant wait to see how much they improve as the season goes on

apeks appreciates ya

At the end of the day he is an ascension winner, and he preformed pretty well during their ascension run
so seems like a good move to me, especially if he does speak Chinese like #3 said

Why tf do you want a flair from an org that tried scam your favorite players out of a slot?!
They held out of signing the deal trying to sell their roster fully ready for the players that had earned the slot to lose it because of their greed.

Its gonna depend on how she handles stuff behind the scenes (https://x.com/kaquka/status/1796944122424828247)
Hopefully it was just a terribly misworded tweet that missed the mark, but it did feel a bit tasteless yea

thats great actually yea^^

Bump
Def what we need with the current vlr landscape, go give em some love

I feel like you have good intentions here, but absolutely missed the mark.
Why spread more targeted hate when (at least based on your other comments) its the very thing you're criticizing? Why not uplift com and yay, pointing out how they need support too?

A criticism based on assuming the worst in someone at every step is pointless; there is nothing to be gained from blaming her for her coworkers, assuming she agrees with everything they do and agrees with how we on vlr treated com/yay, while disregarding every time she advocates for players mental health.
I dont know how yays mental was during the steel segment. You dont know how yays mental was during the steel segment. And Yinsu doesnt know how yays mental was during the steel segment.
She does know how boasters mental is right now. She can tell people about it. Had Yay had someone like that maybe that whole shit hadnt gone down that way. I dont see how this is a bad thing. Encourage people who know the players to speak up when theyre struggling so that we as a community dont overdo it!

And since this was brought up multiple times on post you agreed with explicitly: her mixing in her personal life, on her personal twitter account isnt a problem and youre just an idiot if thats what you take issue with. She hasnt even used it to look for work yet (this is the only tweet I could find searching for the common lfw posts, and if you think thats a serious resume then we gotta talk https://x.com/YinsuCollins/status/1315687005527986179 )

Like this aint a chapter in the bible, we cant have only those without sin be allowed to throw the stone. Especially when the thing theyre advocating for would better the community. We dont have a Jesus on earth right now, nobody is gonna be allowed to do jack shit to better anything.

Make this a positive post, I genuinely think your heart is in the right place, but this aint it.

read past the title
shes perfectly fine there

dude as an og guild fan (well ig NiP since I followed them from paladins) I would want nothing more

but I feel like bonkar is better on oxg since he has such a good track record with developing youngsters (and theyre making it into t1 anyways ;) )

yea id expect elma to get the boot
I dont think its fair to blame him for fnc looking bad - just the change in meta and map pool is probably to blame for that, but it looks like he doesnt make the team better
I wouldnt mind them picking up d00mbr0s for example and seeing if he can bring a bit of creativity into their comps (though I wouldn't want him head coach since I dont think fnc is a team that would benefit from the role flexibility philosophy fpx/navi always showed)

Cant complain about their current form at all
Swiss was a bit scrappy, but todays game showed that if theyre given a good matchup they absolutely know how to abuse it

Just looking like an absolute solid team atm

Im sure hes gotten a fair share of fines
Most players dont talk about their fines so we have no clue how strict riot is on different topics

He was getting a good bit of heat before too tbf
but yea similar to ardiis (though ofc hes the biggest shit talker in the world) he went to a top of the world roster with completely different fanbases
and then the team starts underpreforming - the fans are obviously gonna turn on the new guy and... well that stigma sorta sticks with them

cneds been amazing on fut ngl so just "unlucky"

FUCK BOTH OF YOU, GUILD IS WINNING
LEO IS THE GOAT AND SAYF IS GONNA TEACH ASPAS HOW TO PLAY CHAMBER

I dont think it has anything to do with them being unproven
at least from platchat, sliggys streams and the acend podcast (tmv) they all always just talk about the last 2 games g2 played

the lev game was super close with 9/10 pistols won
And the g2 100t game was just bad
So its just that they didnt like what they saw from them

I wouldnt rate them below t1 like some analyst are doing, thats madness, but not having them in that top 5 cluster is reasonable no?

if a bad season, in a region which notoriously struggles with mixed rosters, is enough to end your career then we gotta talk
but nah qpert was praised highly during his time during c9 so id say thats why he didnt struggle to find a new home after leaving dath

not sure how long ago you watched, but with the "invention" of the g2 plant icebox was fully attack sided (and that was back in 2022)
so I dont think its the map changes making it attack sided, but rather teams learning how to abuse the bad map design

id agree but m8 did win last year comming off a bo1 format so maybe its a secret buff ;3

Before people lose their minds, remember that spain has an incredibly easy qualification system and that the main focus of teams should/will be on preparing for the playoffs bo3s

Not a good sign that they're losing, but its not like vct where they're ruining their split with a couple of early losses

huge shame and pretty significant loss to polaris
ik Ucam was a bit of a disappointment coming off the absolute high that was LPB, but I really would have liked to have seen how he does in a proper (signed) team over a year or so
hope streaming works out

the "question" is where he goes
theres like 1 option so ya know
but also good to know that he said it himself

you might be in for a pleasant surprise soon if the rumors end up being true

easy game, wasnt even close... nope no hero plays here to keep oxg in this at all

I can guess based on what twitch chats I've seen you in ;3
but good to know that its confirmed
just makes it even more of a shame ngl

ye rumor mill was going crazy with that one

could have been fokus click too
worked out fine for fokus getting lime, but that would have been a nice timeline

the only valid answer

based on last season no, but we'll see as the season goes on

New fokus roster is heat and the scrimbux are actually looking good again
That being said its like a week of practice for them as far as I can tell

Fokus 2-0

Theyre amazing, I was so stoked when I saw the first vid on twitter
the rate is insane atm too (expect it to slow down now that t2 starts, but still)

holy t2 super team
Apeks vs KPI gonna be a banger if we get it, and ngl I think id favor kpi with the last 2 upgrades

Idk, I dont really have a horse in this race. I cant say its nearly bad enough to upset me, but with the context that we have had pros... ya know... this might rub someone the wrong way
Its not like valo has the most mature or (purely based on age) mentally stable fanbase
But... orgs like Sen and G2 have always posted stuff thats SO on the line that I feel like this is going from 0 to 100 a bit quick

it has a very different tone though since its him joking about doing it himself, not joking about other people doing it
cant really say if bren was fine with that either though, but in general you have to hold orgs to a higher standard

fuck
no who cars and no nille

lmao, yall are actually a perfect balance
gj

we better start seeing some mad support out of you
