What, no. He played his part, but he was not their x-factor whatsoever. I genuinely believe they would've made it further with Klaus

There aren't any bad players at Champs, but I'm still mad about Klaus getting benched so I'm gonna say mta

Wdym by gun sounds? Because imo the shooting sounds for Champs 2023 are a bit better, the kill sound for Champs 2021 is a little better, and the finisher sound for Champs 2023 is better

Definitely a debate between 100 Thieves, Team Secret, and Rex Regum Qeon

No way, imagine playing a video game for fun

Guys it's one still frame, chill
Also 2021 is NOT better than 2023. It's a nostalgia pick and the kill sound is better but at the end of the day you're comparing the a gun with the default model to the most premium looking skin in the entire game

They said that's for League of Legends

Bro what

The Twitter person publicly said their DMs were open if people had any questions

Goddammit trombone, you've had eight years

100% agree

He's really not... he's just sharing public information. The VLR in-house news reporter

Idk if that's enough reason for the Liquid staff. We'll see, though

LOUD drop tuyz, sign Sacy, try to get aspas back, can't because he likes being on LEV and still has a contract, end up putting cauanzin on duelist (what am I saying)

Depends on whether or not he's IGLing

Exactly! I don't make this stuff up

There's been a top 4 in NA Challengers all year: OXG, M80, MXS, DZ in some order. If DZ is out then the other three are still in a head to head for the top spots

Masters Monterrey (people have been waiting for a North American Masters and there's already a venue.... also Mexico is cool)
Masters Venice (has massive role relevance due to being where Ascent is located, has a pretty much untapped VALORANT scene, and the Italian fans are in general super passionate)
Champions Amsterdam (Idk I like the Netherlands)

termi would instalock Reyna and drop 40 every map

CN: I kinda have to say XLG here but I'm not super convinced in any of the teams tbh

Hot take: Trace is way better than people are giving them credit for

"The most important region"

Seeing an Italy, China, and South Korea flag consecutively has reminded me of the Winter Olympics. Which reminded me that the Summer Olympics start in 38 hours.

Those have got to be the two most intricate B&W esports logos I've ever seen

I don't know but either way he'd do great

Doesn't he mainly play duelist though?

You have to start somewhere, geo. Why not here? 👍

Nah you're the goat, apply for it you got this

I'd take your word for it but I've seen you make at least a dozen threads this long and none of them have any grammatical errors. I don't think I've even seen you make one ever

I mean, you might as well apply for this https://www.vlr.gg/362584/vlr-gg-writers-wanted

Imagine if DRX had subs... oh wait, they kicked the guys on their main roster so they could put their subs in. That's quite unfortunate.

W thread. Also yeah, shoutout to all the tier 1 duelists everyone hates

I don't think it's a free run at all. It's a shame that DZ are out, but OXG and M80 can still give them a genuine run for their money (there is a lower bracket in playoffs so it's not like MXS are guaranteed to win). Also even then there's still the best teams from LATAM and Brazil to take into account—a lot of people aren't considering them at all, which is pretty wild to me.

You know what they say... fake it till you make it

@callmegod you hear this? ^^

I love not thinking but it can be a pain sometimes lmao

TRUE! A full Japanese team winning VCJ would be sick

I appreciate the attempt but it unfortunately can't happen with some people's names (I hate his name btw)

Honestly valid

I agree

That's more of a storyline than a rivalry, imo

ANGE1. He's not exactly scary but he's been around long enough to have dirt on everyone in town, plus will give you life lessons while beating stray cats with a fishing rod

You're good

I'm now realizing that is EG didn't EG we'd have NRG N4RRATE, KC wouldn't look so good, and FNC would've made Madrid

I'm gonna sleep at 12, wake up at 10, and watch the recaps of both matches before opening VLR

If the NA orgs pay him more, then would you still call him a snake?

Do you want me to report you too?

What the absolute HELL is that first sentence. Never reported someone faster in my life

Americas orgs should just force their players to speak in rapid fire Spanish /j
