Was there any reason for this? Obviously, any content in off season is welcomed, but this just kinda felt like it came out of nowhere.

mada's not bad, and considering he played more raze, it would make sense they keep him imo.

It was that or not play, no? Clearly, he wanted to play, and the team just wasn't very good.

hope you get well soon

Unless your internet is really bad, the download speeds not really going to be the issue, I'd be more worried about ping. As long as you're wired you should be fine.

They didn't fire him technically, but https://esportsinsider.com/2022/09/g2-esports-co-founder-carlos-rodriguez-resigns-as-ceo

Inb4 this get's brought up again the next time Leorge shits on someone for getting a story wrong

I feel like I've got whiplash. For nearly the entirety of last year, people were relentlessly shitting on Shahzam, but now people are saying he should've never been dropped?

Little bit of a turn around

I mean, prime jhow was abusing bugs, so it's not really a fair fight.

After reading:

I can understand why people don't like him for the James_FF situation. Also, calling people on this forum, "basement dwellers," while you work for the website is a little ironic. But, it looks like he apologized eventually.

Second, I think it's a little crazy to say he used a thread about daveeys to victimize himself. I mean, he wasn't doing anything but paying respects to daveeyS and then got shit on, is it not fair for him to defend himself there? Feels a little pearl-clutchy to me.

Seems like he does have a 'little' bit of a problem taking criticism tho.

I'm ootl, can someone explain why everyone is shitting on him so much?

I'm pretty sure it's only 1 import for vct. https://www.dexerto.com/esports/vct-2023-roster-regulations-explained-minimum-salaries-import-rules-roster-sizes-1944581/

My GOAT

This would be nefarious, but it seems like KSE wanted to get out of esports entirely. They probably already had commitments to the guard roster, so they kept them on for as long as they had to. They saw the ability to not respond as a way out without having to maintain the roster, so they probably just chose to intentionally not agree. I have no source, but I just can't see a world in which KSE wanted to agree, and they just forgot the deadline.

I think it would be really cool if, among more 'hardcore' fans of VCT, we organized a boycott for some of the games to try to incentivize Riot to accept another org. Not like anyone´s gonna get anything done posting on vlr or signing a change.org petition.

Ironically, I think the most "fair" option would be to let the runner up, m80, buy the guard roster. But I have a feeling that not many people would like that.

That's the thing, they don't.

Kroenke Sports is an LLC, who Stanley Kroenke isn't even the CEO of. I'd image he largely just asks as a financial backer, while others manage the divisions.

Come to Indiana

I hate L* L** as much as anyone else, but just don't follow him. Don't gotta deplatform him.

Another victim of the jet nerfs, unfortunate really

iZu was really impressive on the Jadeite roster. Iirc he mostly played Jett, so I don't know how he'll do in the upcoming meta.

Already more honest than Leorge Leddes

That didn't stop him before

I can't help but think this isn't going to change much.

I think c0m is a better Sova, but Cauanzin is a better person who plays Sova. If that makes sense.

That sucks :(

Any Singaporeans know if there's any precedent for eSports players getting exemptions on Military Service?

Bro went into the archives for this one

Don't tell Leorge Leddes

denial (you are here)->anger->bargaining->depression->acceptance

Bill it to Tarik

It says "region pacific" for the something walkout

Not human if you didn't shed a tear during that.

Please be brenshow or Achilios/Paperthin, the ow brain makes them good at casting PRX games well.

It's actually Slasher

I'm not gonna lie, listening to music nowadays that has so much effects on the vocals, then listening to that song in person and it not sounding even remotely similar is kinda sad, but that's just my opinion.

People like when the underdog talks shit, and don't like it when top players talk shit. People just forgot EG were considered underdogs in practically every sense this season.

Bcj & Screwface drama

Where's the drama?

He has a hard time taking any banter/criticism against him. He staked out a hard position on Potter as a coach, and then he ended up being wrong. There's no shame in being wrong, but you need to admit you were wrong and move on. Everytime he talks about it he flaunts his ego, which rubs most people the wrong way.

Bro said "good superteam" and only listed two players.

Ironically this meta might suit Tenz. He's been playing on initiator, and hit util isn't terrible. The main thing that was lacking was his Jett/op. If chamber doesn't have a miraculous return to form, Tenz could just go initiator and have zekken play raze.

Derke is insanely good, just felt like he had some really bad performances this tournament. You can't always be at 100%.

On a different note, duelists tend to be incredibly overrated in general in my opinion. I think the true best players in the world tend to be on the initiator role.

I do hope they find some Indian talent that can make it on the roster in the future. It sucks seeing an org from a minor region have to import players from other regions to be able to compete for the top.

People see 2 people arguing on this website and say "the majority" It's such a small percentage of the actual fanbase. 90% of americas fans probably like Loud and even FNC. People just tend to look towards the negative comments more, such is human nature.

Maybe, I think best team ever b4 them was either Optic or Loud with sacy/pancada. Considering how much they struggled against current loud to the end of this season, I don't know if I could honestly say they would beat either of those teams.

I like that again there's an easily identifiable path to pro for any person to qualify, but I'd hold out on a personal opinion until they reveal all the details.

Little fun fact, something used to queue NA ranked with 150 ping from Russia, and even got top 10
