that is fucked 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

it's smaller than you think but quite cool and very storied. all the great korean lol players have played there, and some great kr val players also

afaik yeah

both teams are new give them time

i guarantee if it was a team like SR instead of Xipto people would have said SR's mental is so strong they don't look tilted after a loss like that

smh it's prob not that deep

i thought apac qualifiers were also LAN?

legendary switchup LMFAO

potter needs to be on this list she is a tree bro

drx roster is short but mako is also just a tall ass boy. i think hes taller than karon and t3xture and those guys are like 6ft/5'11

2 day old bump bro had to be looking for something to post on

he was pretty much the best player in vcj during 2023 and the previous best player in vcj was something so...

dana and 332 are their best aimers imo and dana had a really bad day

all good

xipto are dark horses but dana is the goat

i'm fairly sure this vlr kr-sea beef is one sided because korea has their own forums for valorant and only those who are good/decent at english bother to post anything here

and a significant amount, probably majority, of korean people don't post at all and just read. but this probably applies to like everyone

nationalism got a lot worse recently. i try not to assume biases whenever i talk with someone about something & i try to be pretty understanding in general. pre-franchising when it came to asia, people would come together more, nowadays there's a lot of inter-regional animosity. pretty sad to see

i keep my national identity on the down-low because i don't really want it to be used in any arguments i might get into on this site. imagine discussing something in good faith only for it to be thrown aside because "ur korean" or "ur just fakeflagging as a korean"/"not even a real korean" as if that necessarily matters.

the flag is only because of twisten. you must be a newgen

la la land (2 people fall in love while in pursuit of their dreams)
grave of the fireflies (two young children trying to survive the aftermath of the pacific war. probably one of the saddest movies ever made)
minari (not particularly sad but very moving, story about korean immigrants trying to adjust to american rural society)
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (a story about a robot wanting to be a real boy ;_;)
a Taxi Driver (korean movie about the gwangju movement)
Leafie: a Hen into the Wild (animated children's movie, but quite profound. the ending hits hard. i would recommend watching the original dub as the english version cuts off part of the ending for the sake of not breaking audiences' hearts lol)

i could count on one hand the number of movies i've cried to, but i think the one movie i cried the most while watching was this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Love,_Don%27t_Cross_That_River
i didn't even realise the tears were falling at first lmao, but this may be hard to acquire. it's probably got more emotional weight behind it given that this is actually real people and not made-up.

pretty good player high potential

why would slt need ban :sob:

zywoo clear shot

zywoo>chovy>kakeru

claude was p good

its not yo girls fault but you look like a chump because you were clearly the second option ykwim

think about if your girl only got with you because her ex was broke. twice.

technically he did 🤓

just let me talk to arnold bruh

hello good fellow

efina

rich sonic fan's tweet snowballed into talon getting kicked 😭 😭 😭 😭

(obv these financial woes ran deeper but for the narrative this is funnier)

least dense dutch person

wtf is this comment

promote fennel after evaluation so japanese players will be forced out of their tier 2 comfort zone man

i thought people were saying that the gaming government rules didn't actually mean much and kids were able to circumvent it anyway?

those guys have had money issues since like 2022

yeah some chinese players always seem to have some sort of scandal or controversy going on. i remember that was partly why i didn't really care for the lpl teams.
i remember bo and milkyway were supposed to be next up but ended up obliterating their careers because they weren't professional.

but faker winning worlds 23 soloing the entire lpl and 24 beating the best cn team of all time definitely had a huge impact then, no?

i feel like that's not even the case anymore, especially because buzz and stax went ahead and won their trophy almost immediately after leaving drx.
maybe it's because of meteor being a fucking goat though.
i genuinely think there is a fault in the way they approach the game or at least tournaments. like their coaching staff is missing something. i personally think that the secret to geng's success was their coaching staff.

i mean maybe man maybe but it is pretty sad that t1 and geng entered korea later than drx but won trophies before them and drx hasn't even made a finals yet despite the headstart & dominance they had

they made it to a finals at least 😭😭😭😭

im never believing in their ability to win a trophy again man for 5 years they have edged me

gimme something crazy man

hot take drx aint doing shit its hyunmin flashback and friends rn

tobacco vanille is legit but i personally think it suits a more mature look

mf gave the usual suspects for pacific. boring.

my take:

prx slt ge t1

remember rules 1 and 2 but refer to #4

his name is cb i can't LMFAO

?

oh yeah i noticed this too. it's been a while. they haven't fixed this in like at least a month.

bme are never beating the allegations if they sneak into tier 1 AGAIN lmaoo

insane to bench him he's been solid for GE, him and Kr1stal should always be in the starting lineup imo

👀👀👀👀 iykyk
