Mr. Netero, do you listen to SZA?

shit was an insanely cool match, idec that America lost, this whole tournament was a banger and is huge for the popularity of baseball across the world

Top 3 Americas
Top 3 EMEA
Top 3 APAC

LCQ = 4-10 from franchising + top ascension team
1 from Americas, EMEA, and APAC LCQ respectively

Top 2 China domestic league/invitation

Last 2 idk, maybe Tokyo winner, maybe they'll do an international play-in or sum

ranked players are like goldfish, got 2 second memories

is the arena seriously an indoor cycling stadium??

riot scheduled an absolute clout fiesta for game 1

100T 2-1

C9 still don't have a roster lol wtf are they even doing

100% guaranteeing them bottom of the league, should be relegated for being fucking stupid

W trembo

Playing faceit or ESEA is a far better experience than val ranked purely because the amount of effort it takes to play on these servers is just more work than hopping in a queue. Ppl playing faceit want to actually play csgo, whole ppl playing ranked might just queue up pissed off and with nothing to do

IMO overrating Zeta, ever since Reykjavik 2022, they've done almost nothing in real tournaments

clearly you didn't read the article, this is quoted directly from the article

"Since women have faster auditory latencies [9], [10] and shorter neural pathways due to a shorter stature than men [11], the origin of the slower female Olympic reaction times would appear to be peripheral and not central. Indeed, the plantarflexor premotor time in response is significantly shorter in healthy young women [12]. However, healthy young women do have a 20% lower rate of developing plantarflexor strength and 28% lower maximum isometric strength than men"

Based on the study that YOU cited that you clearly didn't read clearly, the limiting factor of women isn't the time it takes to think of doing an action, but rather the time it takes to generate the force to get off the starting blocks. You do not need plantarflexion to be a sucessful AWPer, and if anything women would be better AWPers because they have faster biological reactions to auditory stimuli.

Say hypothetically Marved is actually playing and isn't just benchwarming, would it be worth it for SEN to play him instead of Pancada at controller, or maybe even replace Depph and put someone else at igl?

vlr user figure out what a joke is challenge (impossible)

100T looked super sloppy in their fundamentals, and some of their comps were a bit questionable. Until they fix those up they aren’t looking like a major threat to the top 4 yet.

Easily a top 30 team in franchising

100T are trying too hard to be big brain

We should keep cryo on jett for as many maps as possible, his omen and raze just aren’t it

no way there'll be nearly as many people as today

FNC looks hella scary right now, they are shooting on all cylinders and they literally have a superteam. One thing I will give 100T is that they are resilient, and their playstyle lines up with playing against better, more structured teams than the chaos they had with EDG and FUT.

honest prediction, close 13-11/OT on the 100T map pick, 13-7 on FNC map pick, FNC 2-0

As a 100T fan FNC is looking way better now

CS used to do them, but I'm guessing it's because it feels alienating for the experience, this is still a consumer product and idk if a crowd would appreciate having their players locked in a little glass box like its an empty room. Adds more drama, crowd interaction, and adds a mental aspect to make the game more difficult

someone explain, I rlly don't want to sift through a bunch of twitter pages to get context for a subtweet

how is anyone supposed to win against goatzera when he wins 66.3% of his ranked games

imo, this is an easy win for Furia, I just don't see how anyone on T1 can compete with mwzera's 86% DM win rate.

tbf SEN are frauds, can't base the FNC win too much off of that

I can't believe that rito would sabotage the event wifi to make sure Fraudnatic would win, truly disappointing I thought better of you John RIot

1.5

Fluent English, passable spanish (not very good imo but apparently to my hispanic friends it's pretty good)

I know how to say a few swears in Portuguese, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Mandarin, German, and Arabic

being shit at worlds definitely isn't helping the viewership

I'm assuming this means that the NA franchise league will get the weekend slot at the riot studio. Looks like riot's gone all in on the valorant hype in NA at least

tbf it's almost impossible to do anything worse than what RRQ were doing

fr Asuna is an insanely cracked player who also has a pretty sizeable audience, he's like a mini TenZ in that way but he has a far better work ethic than him lol

brop just came at y'all for no reason lol

ok that one fooled me bc I didn't watch LoL back then

that was just one example, what about teams like G2, old 100T, or TL that clearly had insanely cracked players but just couldn't put it together. LOUD and Optic were both rare examples of star players that all meshed well together that almost no other team could replicate

If you hate yourself cheer for an NA team

If you like to watch teams win, maybe RGE (EU) or RNG (CN)

If I was 100T I would rather go with the good chemistry in bang. We know a team full of stars doesn't always pan out the right way, and Marved may not mesh well with the rest of the team. Bang may not be at the level of Marved, but he's pretty damn close so I wouldn't want to risk bad chemistry over a relatively small skill improvement

C9 look the most promising, there may be some issues with entrying bc yay is used to victor basically being a human shield throwing himself into the action while leaf isn't nearly as reckless. 100T look the most proven and have shown the ability to play at a high level. From the rumors about Sentinels, they could look dangerous, but I'm a little worried about a language barrier between English and Portuguese.

if we finish 0-18 ban all NA teams from competing in league of legends

our teams are already just a free win anyway, make the group stage a little more comp

as an NA fan, this is just an embarrassing performance, we are supposedly a "major region" but our teams are a collective 0-9 in the worlds in our OWN REGION. Just give our slots to more LPL and LCK teams and make us qualify through the play-ins or something

in some American states, you can check off your gender identity as either male, female or neuter, with neuter basically meaning non-binary or some 3rd gender you identify as, but gender identity is a really slippery slope because it can vary so widely.

yes

the first worlds shouldn't count as much bc there were no Korean or Chinese teams there

bro lost to Arsenal and said fuck liverpool lmfao

I think its time for riot to just make LCS a minor region and give more slots to actually good teams, I'm tired of seeing the NA orgs get free spots at worlds just to go 0-6 in groups and get knocked out by like the 4th place LCK and 3rd place LPL teams, make them earn their spot before giving byes.

The RRQ situation is basically like if some nobody team like CLG got in NA franchising and picked up only T2 players who didn't even make LCQ and then like NeT

87 floors is a W

nahwho?? Trembo will never be beaten
