i honestly think its bc they dont have really any "superstar" players (icy burgeoning to be one but hadnt solidified it) so you just kinda assume they will eventually be firepower diffed at some point
they arent getting firepower diffed

ascent literally happened in 40 minutes
saadhak and less spent several rounds literally running with knives out down mid
they are clearly given up
i find it kinda hilarious how the casters are still trying to talk about this game as though LOUD care about this game
i know its their job and they have to but its pretty funny
they just look dejected and given up atp, this game is a chore for loud to play rn
riens is certainly playing the best this split, but all the players have had their time as the best (woot at shanghai, benjy in split 1, miniboo at kickoff)
At high levels of consumption, its bad obv, but in a controlled environment and in moderation its fine. I do think stores that sell alcohol/drugs should implement some checks to make sure consumers haven’t experienced legal trouble with drug/alcohol abuse in the past to limit people who do abuse these substances from purchasing them.
As someone who likes drinking… I don’t need it to have fun? It’s nice to let loose a bit bc I get anxiety in social situations sometimes so it’s a lot easier to talk to people and relax when drunk, but I’m also very capable of having fun without being drunk (literally only drink like once every 2-3 months).
Anyway, it’s not incorrect that these substances are poor for your health, but in moderation (and actual self-enforced moderation!) it’s not that bad.
until shanghai, loud had gone to every single international event in franchising iirc
the other way is regional paper rex, it was done for regardless
qutioner wasn't even peeking, just holding angle; paura swung out once qutioner saw sayf so he thought he had good timing
nahhh you can't call that a throw, sayf is just better
ah ok, i thought map diff took precedence first
wait what, is seeding based on h2h? if gen g lose 2-0 to secret and talon beats zeta, then 5th gen g 6th rrq right?
you do, but top 3 qualify for champs irrespective of points, so getting points after first round of playoffs in split 2 is irrelevant for qual purposes
You get a point for bye/winning first round, anything after that doesn’t matter cuz you’d be qualified already
literally 2 teams rn who look dominant in split 2 and i dont think ppl are calling lev or prx champs winners off the bat
just bc heretics are having a worse game doesnt mean they’re getting grouped lol, they’re still t3 easy
man i was so excited for loud's chances when i heard pancada was coming back, but saadhak + coaches mega-overcooked by avoiding jett maps where tuyz could fry...
gg we go again next year ig
by what metric is lev best in americas? if just on record, then fut is emea 1st
i actually really like sentinels and i do think they look like the best team itw right now, but man posts like these make it hard to support such a fun team
yeah but they get an extra point for the bye into second round of playoffs right? or is that not the same for split 2 as it was for split 1?
are fnatic essentially clinched for champs now? i think the only mathematical way they miss is if they lose the rest of their games, heretics wins out and then loses both games in playoffs, and since they would both have 12 points heretics wins out on h2h in regular season?
dude planned out his excuse nearly 18 years in advance, i guess
double headshot iso with shield and rifle while boaster only had ghost
less, something, meiy
bait used to be… oh wait, it was never believable
If that’s the case, then you should also be able to do the other way around (play poorly in stage 1 and pop off stage 2 and make champs), the odds of winning out in stage 1 and winning out in stage 2 are pretty much identical; the biggest problem with wiping the slate for stage 2 is that you don’t have time to run another round robin, so you could get absolutely fucked by having a strong group stage 2 while a weaker group gets more qualification spots
masters and champs are sadly not equivalent, its way more financially and reputationally beneficial to make it to champs
i do agree that riot making massive map/agent changes in the middle of the season makes it hard to stay consistent and its very odd
making stage 2 results more valuable than stage 1 wins makes stage 1 way less relevant, like what’s the point of trying in stage 1 if the records get wiped for stage 2? teams making mid-season changes need to deal with their poor performances in stage 1 and look to bounce back next year, any other way is categorically unfair
if they were actually scrimming with that, then yeah, not anymore 😂
think they were just trolling with the comp cuz they weren’t properly prepared for haven, yeah
lol i saw alecks laughing when drx picked haven and i knew iso was coming out
its all predictions lol, ofc sen could play like split 1 form and flop but people have hope that they'll do well because their individual form in split 1 looked a lot worse than madrid and the offseason before
i would be hesitant to put sen super high up in americas bc other teams have gotten better, but the form they were playing in at madrid was unbeatable, with this long break they might be able to hit that again
is this a thing? if so, is it like sane discourse or is it all baits as well? if there is a normal server, pls lmk i would love to join
not at all, koi is lowkey cooking rn; obviously not a great team and nowhere close to like top half in vct but right now, teams like zeta and mibr look far worse
(as i was typing that) the coordination on that starxo yoru ult and the paranoia was pristineeee
gg what a game, so happy for gen g and pacific finally getting a trophy 🤩🤩
heretics played so insane as well, will come back heavy with miniboo at champs hopefully
so excited for the future of these teams
keep him, he's the best neon out there coming into a huge neon buff
hate on mindfreak is crazy, yeah he didnt have a great series but he's been a rock for paper rex throughout the split and playoffs
i still remember when everyone was saying gen g was crazy for not dropping lakia after kickoff/madrid and now the dude is one of the best players on the team
he'll bounce back, stop overreacting
apologies, i will delete my account and leave vlr
Map rotation will be Bind, Split, and Haven, with Riot designing four new maps to fill in. If any map is complained about, it is deleted and Riot must design a new map by the next day.
Each team plays twice every week in their league with no breaks in an octuple round robin. The losing team in each game is disbanded, with only the highest K/D player on the losing team being allowed to continue playing in pro. Any player going negative on the winning team is placed on the "fraudwatch" list, where they are required to add a 0 somewhere in their name and, if they go negative again, will be dropped by the team. To keep the number of players constant, random tier 2 players (and later premier players) will be promoted to pros, requiring at least one cocky VLR Raze player to be on the team.
As before, there will be two Masters and one Champions event, all of which will be hosted in North America because Pacific fans don't matter, apparently. In the spirit of VLR, both Masters must be called "Mickey Mouse Masters [insert city name]." Records of teams do not matter for qualification for any event; instead, teams will be invited to the tournament based on how many threads on VLR claim that that team would destroy all the other teams despite having a losing record. As such, only one Chinese team and one Pacific team total can be invited, while the Americas gets 8 slots.
Who do you think wins Champs 2025?
because i couldn't settle on 10
HM: Meteor, Life, MrFalin, Derke
cant vitality bbl and fnc all win and end with 4-2 records…?
if madrid was filled with bad teams, then all the other “good” teams shoulda beat them in kickoff. yeah the form of some of these madrid teams has fallen off in split 1, but that doesn’t make madrid mickey mouse 😂 they just played better
I have seen the future, and I saw exactly how Champs this year will play out.
Qualifying Teams:
AMER: SEN, LEV, NRG, C9
EMEA: TH, NAVI, FUT, FNC
APAC: PRX, GEN G, DRX, ZETA
CN: EDG, DRG, FPX, TEC
These teams make it to playoffs:
SEN, LEV, FNC, FUT, TH, PRX, GEN G, DRX
7th-8th Place: FNC, DRX
5th-6th Place: FUT, LEV
4th Place: TH
3rd Place: GEN G
2nd Place: SEN

They hated him because he told the truth.
