https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bleed-esports-obtains-50-8m-172100676.html/ pretty sure this is a clue

I don't mean a TGRD situation as in "we don't agree to your terms" but rather where the team fails to meet the requirements set by Riot, whatever those may be (deadlines, contracts, etc.)

Guess DRG aspas is a thing now

Definitely a possibility, but it's very hard to know for sure, as this is likely between the org and Riot

I'm speculating that it could be another TGRD situation where they don't do what they're supposed to on time (no clue what that could be, it's just a theory)

I mean... yeah, it sucks for them, but they didn't do what was required of them which is entirely their mistake

Well, thank you, that's very kind of you actually

"BLEED Esports was terminated due to its failure to comply with critical reporting requirements and other key obligations under the Team Participation Agreement."

In other words, this is another The Guard-esque situation, where the organization doesn't do what Riot tells them to and are losing their spot in tier 1 as a result.

Why are we all acting like BLEED is being relegated? Why are we all saying teams that have been doing poorly are going to be kicked out of franchising? That's not at all what's happening.

I think it has something to do with the agreement BLEED signed... some kind of violation or missed deadline or something, kind of like The Guard

THERE'S NO WAY LMAOOOO
Okay nah, after that Ascension final, you can't say both teams didn't deserve tier 1. Glad they're both in now

😂

This took me 3 minutes to type out so I couldn't read your reply until I sent mine. Number one fan is CRAZY though, I'm a random on the internet I should not be having fans

We only use the words loonie and toonie to refer to the coins themselves, not the actual amounts. You'd usually say "that'll be a dollar" or "I'm a dollar short"... but if you're asking for change or something, you'd ask for a loonie or a toonie because you're referring to the coin and not the value of it. Kind of like how you'd say quarter and 25 cents, or dime and 10 cents (there are other examples in other countries, but most places do this kind of thing).

Also, in case you're curious: the $1 coin is called a loonie because there's a loon on it (a kind of bird). As for toonies... well, two loonies = toonie.

No other word came to mind lmao

Username aged well

Probably academy teams

I might be tripping but wasn't this leaked like a month ago

I'm not sure if it counts for tier 2 in sultan's case, but tomaszy plays in EMEA and Kr1stal last played in CN so I don't think it would matter for them

Lmemore, sultan, Kr1stal, and tomaszy all deserve to be in tier 1 imo. The problem is at least two of them would be imports (three if Kazakhstan counts as Pacific and not part of CIS)

Brimstone's global pickrate will tank, going below even Clove's

Not bad, honestly. Two of the more fun STEM courses

Gl on the exams 👍

Hey number2_cNed_fan you should register for the AP exams

What?

That's fair tbh
^ Same response to you btw, Mortadelo

Did NOT think FNATIC would be the Evil Geniuses of 2024. What the hell is this??

Very glad someone from DSYRE is getting picked up, even if I do think wackie or waddle deserved it more

Should be here. Open the Drive link and go to Viper Icebox -> Defense (this one's slightly different to some of the ones you see online, only difference is instead of in the middle it's closer to the site so that people can't peek in front of it)

1st at Masters Madrid https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/1921/champions-tour-2024-masters-madrid
12th in Split 1 https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/1998/champions-tour-2024-emea-stage-1
8th in Split 2 https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/2094/champions-tour-2024-emea-stage-2

Someone pass the bleach, I need some for my eyeballs

Fine. I'll take one for the team

1. Your takes are dogwater
2. Your username is knowitall and yet you don't know how to have a good take
3. Of every single take you've ever voiced on VLR, not a single one of them is a good
4. If there was a pill you could take to get good takes it wouldn't even work on you

Why do so many people misspell Saadhak?

How is that what you derive from "in your career sometimes the hardest decisions are ones you got to make to go further in not only your career but life"??

Bump!

Fake South American

1. Assistant coach

If last year proved anything it's that if they're gonna win a trophy it's BECAUSE of Pujan

This is the least Finnish thing I've ever read ngl

No it happens before the milk goes bad. I think it depends on the kind of milk + fat percentage so you might not've seen it before because of that

If s0m gets one I'll be very happy

Okay so basically when you leave milk in the fridge for too long it starts to form these really really disgusting chunks

Best: ice water (I'm a simple guy)
Worst: chunky milk

mada: duelist
Verno: initiator
Ethan: flex
s0m: controller
FNS: sentinel + igl
bonkar: coach

Seems to me like the NRG roster for next year is pretty much locked in. What are people's thoughts on this lineup?

Got it ty Mortadelo and c4rrotstix
