It's unfortunate how the past memories can cloud what good memories we can make now. Just think, now (I assume) you and your sister are old enough to have genuine conversations, to become actual friends instead of just a brother and a sister. Independence does change people and make them grow, and you will probably go through that as well. It's just important to realize that a) those memories are mystified of simpler times and b) she probably feels similar about those times. Don't think you took those time for granted, you didn't have the mental complex to appreciate those times. Now that you do, make the effort to have a genuine connection with your sister as mature individuals.

You can't go back to being a bunch of kids playing in the grass, but you can reminisce alongside her and build new memories as new people. I genuinely put time, effort, and thought into this.

Qualifications: 18 year old done first year uni with a high school brother. I have thought these things before hand just randomly.

One team gets into franchising
Other team gets Nadeshot's money

WIN - WIN

NA still has insane depth and consistency from it's teams.
Pacific is still filled with crazy strats and a damn Singaporean team just out aiming and dominating.
EMEA is still getting dogwalked by a bunch of (former) Fnatic players.

Same homework, different words.

guys we gotta stop making fun of pancc. He's under a lot of pressure, he has to play for his bail.

don't

union WILL NOT win fracture.

In like 5 years if Valorant grows, then I think we'd get to 6 franchised leagues:

NA
South America
Europe
Turkey + MENA
Pacific
East Asia (Japan, Korea, China) or just China league.

They'll have a chance later, if not next year.

5600 or 5600X are great mid-budget chips that do great for valorant (Not the 5600G, only get it if you need dedicated graphics. The G has half the L3 cache of the other two which does WONDERS for Val and CS).

Val is very CPU heavy, so if you want to optimize for that, getting a good 300-400$ card with a 5600/5600X will get you good frames. I have a 1650 super and a 5600X (8gbx4 3200hz ram) and I get like 300 frames (200 low, 400 high, 600 in menus/range) currently. Newegg is having a big sale in a few days (July 10th) so watch that for a discounted GPU.

But... but... most of the countries in NA use the metric system?

Gotta be Sen right? They got Tenz.

Skrossi is just insane

(im still salty how the one game he played well was against Gen.G I WANT TO FUCKING SCREAM)

He played in Japan, and flipz made fun of Japanese people in general in retaliation to TenTen. Not defending the guy, stupid fucking choice, but I'm explaining reasoning. Dogshit example, but you can give reasoning to why people followed Hitler, even though he is one of (if not) the worst people in recorded history. Some people will just follow anything, especially if it is surrounding their cultural sphere.

Good luck bro

He got Guild to a lan with current Liquid and Fnatic's best players. The fact guild only made 1 lan with Leo, Sayf, and Trexx speaks to how limiting Koldamenta's calling and Russ' play was to the team.

Call Guard underage, cause Pancc is fucking 'em

They haven't had to play other maps. Their two most played maps are Pearl and Fracture (then lotus and ascent) but they haven't had to play the other maps that much. Just dominating those few maps regionally may have hurt their depth, but we will see.

They are still the Union. This shit is NOT over, especially with their pearl.

Guard net is my king.

Thank you liquid fan. Liquid being the absolute king of winning useless matches.

Just excited to see them go 0-2 again vs NA at champs, if they don't fully choke in groups that is.

I have Furia and Levi switched, but that's unironically mine.

I want Sen to win LCQ and Champs JUST because Zekken will drop such funny shit on twitter if he had a chip. No other reasons.

NA is 18-16 vs EMEA all time, 8-5 this year (all 5 wins for EMEA were Fnatic).

I expect better from you Qwertyy

Anyways, NA is 8-5 vs EMEA this year.

8-0 w/o Fnatic.

Just want to see PRX with Something. That's really it.

Crime? Murder? Death? Moral Questions? Mysteries? Equality? Money?

Ya know what goes along with all of that? Pirates.

Ahem Excuse me Sir, have you heard of One Piece?

Trust me bro (I have not watched Death Note, nor Bungou Stray Dogs)

Fuck that nvidia guy. I'm thinking of buying a 6700XT because my 1650 super is crashing ~3-5 times per day, reboots the whole system (I've had the card for 3.5 years at this point). Because of their lasting abuse of the graphics card market, I gotta go Team Red for at least the near future. Plus, it's not like Ryzen is even that much worse compared to Nvidia. It's close enough that, if you want an ethical reasoning, you can go Ryzen to support a better ecosystem of cards. It's nerdy shit, but it's enough for me to edge off that extra performance you get from Nvidia still. Just from personal experience (probably the exception, not the rule) I can't trust Nvidia mechanical longevity.

The actual fuck? Gen.G get 4th in playoffs and now they are the 6th seed again? Why was it not based on playoffs for the upper spots? Dumb as fuck imo.

some of the orgs do some solid stuff. like Fnatic does some good content, Liquid can be cringe but they've had some solid vids.

1. Literally whom
2. It's just the baiters doing that shit, most actual fans from NA are just excited for an M80 vs Union Grand Final. I don't care which team wins. If Union loses, they should be picked up for the MIBR roster. If M80 loses, they should be picked up for the 100T roster.

It's just the next step to replacing the 100T roster :)

I doubt kru would drop their LATAM roster for a Brazilian one (since they are a LATAM org)

I love my Brazilian homies. I respect the hell out of the Union. Either way the M80 and Union rosters are getting into franchising. Whoever loses is going to replace the 100T or MIBR rosters, so it doesn't matter.

AM still 10-9 against EMEA this year.

"wE hAVe 2 tiTlES" Brother you have 1 team

AM is 10-2 against EMEA w/o Fnatic
EMEA was double grouped, and went 2-6 w/o fnatic as a region.
KC, Heretics, Koi, BBL <<< KRU
Sentinels, C9, and Furia would dogwalk Liquid
The Union would destroy Fut

Have a great day.

Brother, I been hating on EMEA. I do not care whether Union or M80 get into franchising, whichever roster loses is still going to replace a whole ass franchised team. No way MIBR or 100T lasts past this year, it's all good.

please do, these guys are actually great.

2, just like how many of your teams got grouped at masters.

5-8 vs NA this year.

0-8 without Fnatic.

when juicy is good for 2 basically every round, then it's a good strat.

bleeds comp is literally built to run it down and fight. The fact that they are just better mechanically makes it just so much easier for bleed. They don't even need to think.

bleed are expected to win. They are like a lite version of PRX. Plus, they have a rare source of experience in Sscary, that only really dplus also has. Bleed could develop to challenge the mid-tier teams in Pacific.

3 of the top 4 games have EG in them, even when the view times were dogshit for 80% of NA fans.

Russia is #1 because of Something, I think Canada and Sweden, maybe USA, are all easily above Finland.

Sentinels fly to EMEA LCQ so that EMEA can't win LCQ.

People clown on GE because of rossi and India, but they are a team that could do some real damage in LCQ. I'd say that losing to them wouldn't be crazy for any team.

It's 18 - 16 for NA all time. If you remove the highest winning team from each (8 from Fnatic, 7 From NV core) you get 11-8 for NA.

Just like most stats in Val, EMEA is boosted by Fnatic. That 5-8? All 5 wins are Fnatic. Fnatic carries EMEA.

Bro I've looked at stats, I haven't DIVED into stats.

I'd sub in Alfa / Nats, Leo / Crashies, and Marved / Boaster.

Bruv got Dat ice in da veins, you know.

EU is actively 5-8 against NA this year.

NA is Currently 8-5 against EMEA teams in 2023.

Fnatic is all 5 of the losses.

When will these people realize that Jingg played WAY better at Masters, doing the exact same things he was doing in Pacific. It wasn't like Something was stealing all Jingg's thunder, Jingg just wasn't playing at the same level back in Pacific.

Something is definitely better, but Jemkin is still a massive talent going into ascension.

FPX lost more games to XSET than Optic did in 2022.
