panpoc and brenshow are the 2 best duos, and the ones with the most iconic calls in the game
Been watching since 2021 iceland, i just like supporting my region overall, but xset won me and now i rep sen for zekken and also because i like na!
graduation is not kanye's 1 or 2 😭
the college dropout and late registration are much more consistent and better albums overall
i would say graduation has some of his highest peaks artistically though
graduation is highkey overrated, and i like the album
barry bonds is a never listen to again, drunk and hot girls is just not good, the glory is fine, big brother is eh, good night is eh
how are you calling it one of the best albums of all time when at LEAST 5/14 (35% of the album) is just not good
there are much better kanye albums (the college dropout) where he has a much more consistent track list and bangers as well
yep, and pancc is the minor toucher right?
Agree, this could also give LATAM/BR t2 teams some good scrim time, as they could host it in cities over there so that they're also able to have high quality scrims for a week or 2 before ascension time starts to come
Valorant will never reach the levels or long-term prestige of League of Legends or Counter-Strike, and will die out just like Overwatch.
to summarize use chatgpt if you have dont wanna read it all, or look at the bolded sentences for a general idea
Hero shooters are doomed to fail unless they have agent bans and/or a large agent pool; Valorant has neither. With its relatively small agent pool, every balance change and patch can drastically shift the competitive landscape, from changing metas and compositions to possibly changing how maps are played entirely. Without agent bans, players can’t counter dominant agents or comps. Instead they’re forced to adapt, even if it means abandoning their strongest role or agent. This creates an unstable environment where dominance in one role, playstyle, or agent can quickly become irrelevant. Which is why the job security in Valorant is considerably worse compared to other top esports.
This volatility kills dynasties, ends rivalries, and prevents “GOAT” careers from forming. A team or player who dominates one patch can become considerably worse even irrelevant on the next patch . In turn leading to frequent roster changes that ultimately may not fit the next meta, or the meta after that and so on. In CS and LoL, talent can shine for years; in Valorant, it can disappear in months. Poor job security, untapped talent, and careers defined more by balance updates and recency bias instead of skill prohibits the scene from thriving.
This problem is only made worse by Riot's terrible competitive format. Best of threes are far too common for a momentum-heavy, upset-prone game like Valorant. Where three maps usually aren't enough to determine the better team. Combined with a narrow map pool (with bad maps), Bo3s cater towards favorable matchups and a little luck over complete skill and talent. A team could be stronger on five of the seven maps but still lose a series because the other two are in play. Best of fives should be far more common, instead of reserved exclusively for The lower Finals, and The Grand Finals.
International and regional slot limits at tournaments are far too restrictive and should be removed. They just punish regions with multiple elite teams instead of rewarding the best teams in the world, regardless of region. One unlucky loss in a game that caters to upsets and momentum can keep a championship-caliber roster out of the biggest events and sideline them for months. By the time they return, the meta has likely shifted again, forcing them to adapt once more. On top of that, scheduling for tier 1 matches is slow and disjointed, killing momentum, hype, and fan interest.
Such an unstable ecosystem is a nightmare for orgs and often a massive money pit. Many fall into an endless roster-change cycle: rebuilding for the current meta, struggling when it shifts, then overhauling again. Promising rosters and players rarely have enough time to build chemistry or get comfortable before being forced into new roles, playstyles, agents, maps, and comps, or being broken apart entirely. This makes it nearly impossible for teams to establish lasting identities unless they commit to simple extremes, like hyper aggressive play (PRX) or slow, methodical setups (FNC). Job stability is at extreme lows compared to other top esports, and the window for a dominant team or player is too short and too dependent on balance changes, making it nearly impossible for anyone to “define an era” the way they can in other titles.
All this instability is made worse by Riot’s PG-13 approach to esports. In trying to prevent toxicity, they strip away the raw emotion, the potential storylines, and stifle players from showing unfiltered personality. Stuff like that fuel rivalries, storylines, and gets fans to rally behind their team or players. Analysts often sound restricted when criticizing players, like they're walking on eggshells, careful not to cross that PG-13 line. Grudge matches rarely exist, rivalries feel artificial, and it feels like there just isn't that competitive desire to win like other esports.
It’s a stark contrast to CS2, where rivalries, grudges, and a touch of controlled toxicity drive narratives, and analysts offer blunt, unfiltered criticism. That honesty creates compelling arcs, like when a player gets roasted for months, then drops 30 kills and flips the storyline on its head. You can feel the stakes, appreciate the redemption, and choose who to root for, just like in traditional sports. The raw competitive edge gives fans something to rally behind, remember, and anticipate.c
Narratives and storylines are the backbone of esports, sports, and media. They keep fans glued to the screen, waiting to see what happens next. The most popular stories in competition revolve around questions like: Who’s the best? Can they build a dynasty? Who can dethrone them? Who’s the top player, and who’s closing in on that title? And of course, the greatest story of all, the underdog rising to the occasion against all odds. Valorant has no shortage of underdogs, but without long-term powerhouses, dynasties, or clear top dogs, these stories have no real foundation. Constant meta shifts and unpredictable parity keep resetting the hierarchy, making it hard to know who the true teams to beat are, and whether a big win was a genuine upset or just the product of an overrated opponent.
id take out asuna and meiy because they both haven't done anything internationally yet, and put in t3xture and kaajak
"dive player" go back to overwatch lil bro we call them entries
How about -zellsis +nats, we know nats loves to igl but imagine how hard he would frag if he could just play senti and maybe 2nd call a bit
Nah put primmie in there instead the team wont win anything and that's what he's perfect at
They've been this bad since 2023, its just that everyone else was equally as shit
Their roster management is just absolutely horrid, kinda like the EG of brazil with talent just taking the extras of what good teams have
Agree! Add flyquest, an org that shows they actually care about esports, and cultivating talent like in LOL
they call him gobera because he will goob all over them
i have a feeling c9 loses this really badly
C9 played against horseshit and looked good, played a real team in sen and got DOGGED on
2g been competitive, have have nothing to lose atp
C9 were supposed to "easily make playoffs", were "contenders with sen", "could make champs as top 1-2"
C9 everything to lose and pressure is on vs 2G with nothing to lose? I take spike every single time. C9 has won less tournaments in their history as an org as spike has last year just wait
The entire new quadeca album
Jpegmafia's newest album also
The forever story
last year it was "how could riot only have 1 champs points team, 100t was robbed sen didn't deserve it"
this year it's "a team who didn't qualify is actually so much better in the current stage and meta"
Zekken is the goat
Cryo is the goat
Bcj is the goat
Ayrin is the goat
PureR is the goat
i do not need this exercise but i hope everyone who does it finds themselves feeling better, no matter what happens there will always be value in your life!
Cooper dejean is not a safety, hes a cb who'll lock down your number one

Kess vibes >>>>>>>>>>>> demon1 vibes
I miss zekken raze, why cant we run narrate yoru zekken raze and put the man who is top 3 itw on raze on HIS FUCKING AGENT
I assume the poster mixed up the years and thought the 4 year contracts were ending in 2026, and he really means 2027 when Riot can remove whatever org they want and add whatever org they want
edit: thats on me for assuming rational thinking on vlr
i'll never get NA fans hating other NA teams
i know nothing about SK except that their league team is fucking horseshit, are they good in other games?
only thing furia is winning is the fly home speedrun
I thought 22 loud coach was brazilian? And 23 was a brazilian coach iirc, the one with the loud jacket
nah
if you want to be better than a team, then beat them.
they're not immediately removed if they don't make masters iirc, i think its just playoffs that matters
if 2g makes playoffs, then they get a chance to compete for their spot at ascension
if 2g makes champs and places worse than g2, then the same thing happens
if 2g makes champs and places higher than g2, then g2 instead has to fight for their spot at ascension
who cares? if they won, why does closeness matter
