People talking about viewership are lost.
When a region is uncompetitive the viewership will die anyway. We've seen it in multiple Esports. NA doesn't watch CS or League because they suck. China viewership is going to die regardless because Chinese fans aren't going to keep tuning in to watch their region go 0-2 every international. May as well cut bait now because it is an actual travesty teams that could actually compete miss out for this region to show up and give 4 teams a free win.
Obsession is the best horror movie released this year. Hokum is 2nd.
Nepotism
If you suck try your best to makes friends with the top players in the region
They need to treat him like Eggster and just let him play Fade every map. It's the only agent he can play and not throw on.
You notice what he didn't put here? Intangibles.
Cuz Asuna already has that covered
Laugh and you go to 100T.
Not a rebuild because theyre gonna bring the same mid players back next year too
FUCK how did I forget about him.
Assuming current meta holds and we can run double duelist
Dive - Canezerra
Second entry - Florescent
Initiator - Sinatraa
Sentinel - pancc
Smokes - SicK
I suggest anytime you use VFL you sign out then back in first.
You aren't wrong though it's buns and genuinely the most buggy site I've ever used.
I finished #6. Also finished top 30 at Champs.
I may be the best VFL player of all time
Except Neon is a space creator agent. Saying you stopped Neon because they didn't have a 1.4 rating like Dambi completely misunderstands the role and point of the agent.
The reason people bring up that point about sentinels isn't because it's the only way to kill a Neon. It's because it's the only way to not allow Neon to freely create space
People who only know how to consume the game via stats pages will never understand the problem people have with Neon. Which is that she completely shifts how you have to play.
I'm sure you could've done the same thing with Astra when she was broken. She wasn't putting up crazy stats but she completely changed how every team had to play the game.
They still are abusing shotguns.
Nongshin were shooting but the power of Dambi shotguns changes how every team has to play. There was a round where PRX brought double judge on defense, something they never do, just to counter Dambi.
Flex: Chronicle
Sentinel: Alfajer
Controller: Valyn
Duelist: Mada
Initiator: Eeiu
HC: Sliggy
team name: Nepotism Esports
I mean it has happened. There is even a current semi-famous twitch streamer who got banned because of it.
Which sucks because it just makes it worse for the actual trans players.
It's just a really good meta for them. It's why Sliggy predicted at the beginning of the season APAC would win 2 trophies this year
I'll be sure to track you pickems for next event and pick the opposite of you
I get what you mean but it's funny to phrase it like that when NRG won Champs last year with 3/5 of them being rookies having their first experience on an international stage
Furia played better it's just impossible to win when you go 0-6 on pistols
Veto's -
NS ban Pearl
M8 ban Breeze
NS pick Bind
M8 pick Abyss
NS ban Haven
M8 ban Corrode
Split decider
None of this is confusing. 90% of people who are good enough to go pro in Val grew up playing CS to develop their aim and mechanics.
Will be more interesting in 10 or so years when the league is full of people who grew up with Val as their primary FPS game.
Viper doesn't need a nerf they just need to buff sentinels and her pick rate will go down
I'm not sure why it says PPG when that's definitely total points instead
Marteen.
I have Marteen, Brawk, Wayne, Skuba, Trent, Starxo
C9, Furia, Team Secret, GE
If you've been in since partnership and haven't made an international you should be kicked, with the exception of DFM.
I know Furia just made Masters but it's like when a player has a career year in the last year of his contract. They've been the worst franchised team for 99% of VCT and were able to luckily complete a hail mary right before they almost certainly got kicked.
I'll disagree with this. At least in traditional sports, owners meddling almost never works. The point is for them to hire guys who actually know what they're doing. If you don't trust the decisions of the person you hire to make decisions, you shouldn't have hired them.
The only issue here is usually the roster move guy and the head coach are two different people. But I think it's understandable for Kaplan to have a lot of power given how long he's been in the org + he won them a trophy.
He was already getting slandered for those by the fans.
The roster decisions is just on top of that, since fans didn't know how much power he had in the org
Just put the fries in the bag Zellsis
The game is stale and nobody enjoys grinding it anymore.
A lot of the Radiants these days who aren't pro just play out of habit. And even the pros only play because it's their job
if she was so casual dropping it in a DM she obviously wasn't shy about using it.
I'm not falling for the bait that he didn't know she used that word. I don't think that means Skuba himself is racist
As an anything.
JohnQT was a significantly better fragger while IGLing than Zellsis who wasn't IGLing. He had a 1.08 rating last year while Zellsis had a 0.93 . Taking John off IGL just means he can focus on his individual aim more, which was already among the best in NA.
The only argument to not keep John was if he demanded to be IGL. Otherwise it's not like a guy who was IGLing can't midround.
I genuinely don't see a single scenario where they choose Zellsis over John, despite what Zellsis may say in his youtube video.
They will get 0 internationals once again.
Like they are at best the 4th best team in Americas after G2, MIBR and NRG. So they are already cooked for Kickoff and Masters. Their only chance is to make it through playoffs for Champs
Maybe I'm lower on Zellsis than most but I really don't believe there is a single coach or org outside of Immi who would pick Zellsis over JohnQT.
Like I genuinely don't think he's better at a single thing Valorant-related besides selling bundles
If I were Liquid I'd be running to trial Okeanos to replace Keiko.
I'd do something like
Nats senti
Kamo recon
+Okeanos controller
+Sayf duelist
+Kicks flex
I was the OG Reduxx doubter but it just makes more sense to have him play duelist.
You do
Reduxx duelist
Kyu scan
John senti
Cortezia controller
N4rrate flex
And everyone on the team is on their most played role by far, and the ceiling IMO is way higher as Reduxx doesn't look like Icy out there.
So a couple of things. First, benching isn't really just how strong you are.
Bench presses specifically uses some stabilizers muscles that most other workouts (especially machines) aren't gonna build. So there is a chance you are strong enough overall to bench 80kg, but aren't strong enough to keep the bar balanced for that weight, if that makes sense. That will only be fixed by continuing to bench, but you'll see fast improvements.
Otherwise, you probably aren't eating enough protein. Muscles need protein to grow. For your height/weight, you probably want to eat around 65kg of protein per day for muscle growth. At least try to hit 60kg daily.
I think they for sure pick up Rossy to replace Ion
It's true that he doesn't owe TSM anything. But it's equally true that fans can criticize him for performing poorly after signing to another org.
Since he already had his T1 spot secured, he obviously didn't want it as bad as his teammates did.
Alfa isn't included in the 6. He and Kaajak were already under contract until 2026. The 6 were Boaster, Crashies, Chronicle, Milan, Scutt and Szed, because those were the 6 who's contracts expired.
We know Boaster, Crashies and Milan have already re-signed and are 3 of the green checks. We know one of the red x's is Scutt, who is going to Vitality. And in that same report, it was said that Szed is remaining at Fnatic as pefromance coach
So that only left Chronicle for the last red x
It would be (IMO)
Aspas (Duelist)
Verno (Initiator)
Valyn (Controller)
Chronicle (Sentinel)
Zekken (Flex)
Duelist - Aspas
Initiator - Trent
Controller - Valyn
Sentinel - Alfajer
Flex - Zekken
Hard deciding between Trent Alfa or Lukxo Chronicle.
TSM dropping Sym was like when Rock Lee took off his ankle weights
Cryo if he counts, if not it's Leaf easily IMO.
