lowkey the deer are mean lol they nip at you until you give them crackers

holy peak

lmfao wtf did you say to them

tbf its in LCS that's not saying much

nogshim fan but didnt say shin ramyun isn't his favorite food smh fake fan

crazy that even in the peak TS years in like 2021 he was getting cleared by dubstep and jremy

they had a CSGO team they also gave up on in 2021

dios mio we got 2010s about to be playing in vct in 2 years

close ur eyes and relax ur throat

its not just for frats, it's any sort of initation ritual you gotta do to be socially accepted into a brotherhood. It could be pretty innocuous stuff like on a sports team the freshmen gotta carry the equipment or something to and from the practice field, frats just take it wayyyy to the extreme.

frat hazing, this is fairly normal stuff for a Big 10 or SEC frat ngl, they just keep it hush bc they legally aren't supposed to haze even tho it's an open secret that they all do it

some of us have this thing called school and a job

you have to actually play valorant so no its not worth it

i want to get gently mated by marteen

ngl has sen not sent him a cease and desist for that pfp and banner lol bc ppl on twitter still think he's signed

I am a proud PRX nonbeliever

tenz

I don't think I'm too worried about 100T, they're about where I expected them to be. I have faith they'll be able to figure it out. They should make it to champs minimum they have the potential to be a top 4 team in Americas

I don't think he would do anything other champs playoffs

ESL Pro League 23 is on during Masters Santiago, IEM Cologne Major is on during Masters London, and ESL Pro League 24 is on during Champs Group Stage

That scheduling by riot is a crazy setup btw putting a masters event during Cologne lmfao wtf are they thinking, EMEA viewership is gonna be in the negatives

Riot let their league and valorant partnership teams go to EWC I don't think they're opposed to accepting Saudi money

tenz not even jerry west bro that mf is George Mikan

thats not what I said u fucking idiot

im like 90% sure they just recycled the same trophy for all 3 finals

G2 probably they looked insanely dominant
I think people will say PRX just because they're super experienced at internationals

11 teams will lose in VCT Masters Santiago :(

maybe we can use this time to have high quality discussion about what we think will happen at Master Santiago :D

there wasn't really a "winner" of kickoff because there was no true grand final

why is this team addicted to putting Aspas of all people on solo waylay, he’s the polar opposite type of player Id want on solo waylay

we say this every year and then they still win lol

yall missing out on peak valorant those mfs are done with a half in like 20 minutes

Omega looks ridiculous, fight for a playoff spot is gonna be crazy

also lol did you count MIBR as an NA org

I think ur way too high on fnatic right now, as much as you can trust in their international record it's just the flat truth that they lost to both BBL and M8s. I'd probably put them between AG and M8s right now

ngl I think right now out of all the regions Pacific looks the best, then EMEA then Americas

what exactly does this fix

we all know that most raw stats records are stupid

I think VCT should implement VLR rating 2.0 as a stat

are we in an alternate universe where boaster doesnt go triple negative every match

im starting to get nervousss

they just went 13-11 against DFM, a serious team would have blown them the fuck out. in terms of aim PRXs players are in a completely different stratosphere than DFMs, the only reason it was close is that their gameplay is so messy and undisciplined it gave DFM free rounds

if they bring this undisciplined ass gameplay to an international they're gonna get bodied man I swear

i know they always have been and probably always will be a mechanics heavy team that relies on brawling and outaiming but they need to learn how to calm the fuck down sometimes and stop facechecking everything man other teams are actually catching up mechanically you can't just get by on all aim no brain anymore. Genuinely the only reason they get away with this stuff domestically is bc pacific are deathly afraid of them

tbh the way I view it is that with how streaky valorant has shown it can be, newer teams I will inherently trust a lot less than established ones until they give me a repertoire past 1 or 2 tournaments. We've seen one hit wonders before like 2021 Zeta Division who reach the pinnacle of success for an event and then come back down to earth. Now obviously if teams start to show more consistent performances I will start to trust them more, but in the beginning stages when a team shows a dominant stretch but its only for one split or on one patch, I am inherently less trusting in them. Me thinking that G2 are a better team than Furia isn't because I'm clouted brained or something, it's because nobody on Furia outside of like Artzin and eeiu really have a catalog of past performances at Masters/Champs level events for me to look back to. Contrast that with G2, whose players all have significant experience playing at the highest level of valorant, you can't really blame me for liking them over newcomers

they don't even play the same role

PRX fans have always been bad, they just had the halo effect for a while bc the team was very wholesome and fun but the fans are insanely toxic, some of the worst in SEA

show this to the teams who pass around the same washed tier 1 players and expect different results

until we get another 20 hours of valorant straight

EMEA upper finals was absolute cinema

ngl I feel like there really aren't any superteams in valorant rn, MIBR and PRX are probably the closest we have to one right now but they are nowhere near older superteams like 2023 FNC

some uncomfortable conversations need to be had about C9 ngl, in their entire 5 year history in valorant, they made one single international in one of the weakest NA fields of all time through 2021 LCQ. Even other notably bad teams like Team Secret/Bren Esports, Karmine Corp, and Furia have had equal and even better performances with far less history than C9 in the game

I think our only hope is that nbs cooked up something absolutely ridiculous that NRG's never seen yet and also hope that we're hitting our shots like crazy, we need genuine 10/10 performances from everyone

if we lose tho I'm not gonna be worried, there are some pretty major issues with the roster that need to be hammered out still and the fact that we're still about the 4th-5th best Americas team with how sloppy we look sometimes is quite promising

edit: by issues I absolutely don't mean roster changes, just general gameplay stuff, like I think that we seriously need to be more disciplined especially with a man advantage. I like the fact that timotino is aggressive and willing to entry but he's gotta calm down sometimes
