Are Trace not considered top 2 in CN now? Or have they not done enough

:(
Go Kebab Clan

Anyone know why they're not playing in OCE Stage 3?

Ok hear me out
Jinggg: Raze + Cypher
f0rsakeN: Yoru + Killjoy
They do the TE thing where they swap their duelist and sentinel

I feel like Canadians in particular tend to relate to that kinda thing just because so many of us are first gen immigrants

Lmao you're good

I'm a huge fan of Prohibition by Swing'it and Sam Norris lately, but it's a super love-it-or-hate-it song

Wow, 143 votes so far... that's actually really cool

Oh alr ty for the info

Good luck finding 30, it was pretty hard for me because I also posted images and some nut varieties only seem to exist in text for whatever reason. Had to resort to doing doughnut for the last day

You could do what Asuna does and shoot every time you peek an angle, regardless of whether or not you think an enemy exists in that general vicinity (I've gotten some stupidly free kills that way)

Me personally, though, I usually go guardian only in DMs and try to just tap as many people as possible before it ends (idc about winning, I just want no sloppy fights if I can avoid them). I have been going Vandal/Phantom + Shorty more recently, though, but that's mainly because I feel like I should be buying Shorty on more rounds than I am but I never find value with it because I don't have the intuition on when to pull it out and when to not

What I did last year is sent a picture of a different variety of nut every single day in my gcs as a protest, starting with pistachios on day 1 and working my way down the list

So how does that make him any different from tex or jawgemo or johnqt?

(This was before the edit where he added the bit about Jett)

I think that's Champions 2023, Sentinels of Light, and Forsaken/Sovereign

Is that why your flair is a team with no Polish people

I'm gonna be honest, before making this I didn't even know Gravitational Uranium Blaster's ADS looked like that. I kinda like it

Derpcat reference?

Estonia?

"but never mention that he has one EMEA Trophy also"
If my trophy looked like THAT, I wouldn't WANT people to mention it

Go make one

Because apparently they don't count as imports unless they're outside of the entire region

This is true he is the goat

If DRX didn't pull out the Harbor on Icebox and demolish C9, leading to yay getting dropped and his next two years going to waste (i.e. if C9 beat DRX)

Probably not as much Harbor :(

This is genuinely impressive production

nAts Keiko kamyk kamo paTiTek

He's been reported to be on Team Liquid's roster for the 2025 season

We got NA coach potter, then we got Thai cracked duelist Potter, and now this

I get that but like... this is ridiculous. What has society become?

Bro gave an allat trigger warning AND a TL;DR for literally 4 sentences 😭

Yeah I agree with this. Generally hate toward pros is unwarranted, and yay's case is by no means an exception

yay is first on the list, pho has been EG's assistant coach for the past year, and #15

Go live in Amherstburg at that point lmao

Oh wait isn't it like 1:00 where you are

Totally feel you in that regard. I've been Canadian for most of my life, and yet I don't understand the culture here, but rather the culture back home... which I don't feel super connected to either, admittedly

Aayan do you not have work to do

If that's where you're thinking of going, you might as well just live in Mississauga. It's a LOT more developed than Brampton is, has a ton more job opportunities, and is generally easier to commute in and from. Brampton has much better parks and recreation centres but other than that, Mississauga's just better

• If you're smart about it, you can find a modest apartment can be around $1500 a month (speaking from experience)
• There is a smaller percentage of people without homes than most Western countries
• 99% of all French speakers live in Québec and New Brunswick, and a ton of them speak English as well (Montréal might even have more English speakers than French speakers—again, speaking from experiences)
• The weather is NOT boring, especially not if you live next to the Great Lakes, where it can actually be wildly volatile on certain days
• Canada's tensions with India are entirely diplomatic, and there is next to no racism against Indians that stems solely based on that issue, as far as I'm aware

Yes, every country has its downsides, and Canada has a ton of them. But your "harsh reality of Canada" is just wrong

What in the world is "North American genetics"

All I'm gonna say is you're underrating both nataNk and Demon1

Also in what sense was 2G more competitive than APK, SPG, BME, or XLG? Honestly, judging by their offseason results, I think XLG is best Ascension team this year in terms of how competitive they'll be in their region

I full-heartedly agree with H3ENnZ and Laundry... it is NOT a good idea to go pro, because there's a very low chance you make it into tier 1, and even if you do, it's only a viable profession until you're in your early 30s at the latest, at which time you'd have to do something else entirely.

HOWEVER, if you are completely dead-set on this idea, then here's my take on how you can get there:

1. Climb to radiant (or at the very least immortal 3)
2. Form a premier team with other radiants
3. Win premier
4. Make it into Challengers (tier 2)
5. Perform very well (this may help you get noticed by tier 1 teams, but even if you get here, nothing is guaranteed)
6. Receive offers from orgs if you're good enough
   (Note: alternatively, your team could go on to win Ascension, which would also get you into tier 1 if your org decides to keep you or if another tier 1 team thinks you're good and buys you out)
7. Profit (well, some profit, anyway... wages differ depending on the org, but if you're first heading into tier 1, then you're not going to be worth very much)

Good luck with whatever you decide to do with your future. 🫡

Reportedly nataNk

Karmine Corp and Team Vitality:

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That doesn't make much sense, though. FNS only rejoined NRG for Stage 2

FNS and Demon1 never played a single game together on NRG so idk who you're trying to blame here
