If you were given the choice to see a live game right now, would you rather watch OpTic vs. LOUD or Made in Brazil vs. Made in Brampton?

Hopefully not. To be fair, though, M80 is coming from lowers and could've gotten 3-0'd yesterday

I didn't realize JFT meant Justice For Tomorrow. That's actually really hecking cool

NT RIDDLE! They played Harbor on Ascent, it was over before it even started

Hold up you might be cooking with that Lotus comp

Oh for heaven's sake
Nepal

Can't wait :)

Meh. It's just your rank. It doesn't mean anything at the end of the day. I'm in silver, and yet I have diamond friends who I play better than and bronze friends who could easily win a game I would struggle to make close. The silly little icon next to your name on the friends list isn't a reflection of your individual skill by any means.

When do you two go head to head

That really is all it takes, huh? Let Turkish aim do its thing and everything will follow suit

Well played :)

3-13 4-13 to a free region is crazy

Sanest Alfajer fan

Also do keep in mind the Ghost doesn't have any unique animations, the Vandal doesn't have any either other than the Araxys pullout, and the knife is essentially a reskinned Magepunk Sparkswitch.

I think that second point was one of the reasons they were opting for the Sage.

I remember doing a mini-analysis to see how they were running C execs. In the game against MXS, they hit C 4 rounds, and they did this same Sage wall on all four execs: https://imgur.com/a/wFRrPVj. What this Sage wall does is it lets them flood into Bend, as well as let koalanoob take an early fight from an advantageous angle

I'd rather have yay on sentinel than flexing to Viper and Skye like he was on BLEED. Everyone does best on their comfort role, and I think we both want that for yay

Very neat thoughts

Also I think it's doable for M80 to put Viper in. You could probably cut the Sage or Deadlock from the comp and put koalanoob on Omen, leaving Zander free to play Viper

They already shipped that update several months back. Why do you think Ludilue gets so many clips?

I get crashies, but why yay? johnqt and Zellsis both play sentinel

True. And of course Sentinels aren't going to sign all three. What I'm saying is what I'm hearing when it comes to Sentinels speculation on VLR is always some combination of two of the three players

Everyone seems completely convinced that the new Sentinels pickups are gonna be two of Zander, N4RRATE, and jawgemo. Are these any more than rumours, though? I don't remember a source ever being shared for any of the three. Why are we all so certain?

(Just to clarify I'm not arguing against Sentinels picking up Zander, N4RRATE, or jawgemo, I'm just curious as to why everyone seems so sure)

They later swapped out the Sage for a Breach... is it just me or did that feel like a downgrade, almost?

Türkiye slander will not be tolerated

Dude decided to take matters into his own hands and dropped as many kills as all three Argentinians combined

He's probably still undergoing trials. He's a young guy, he has a ton of talent, and he's likely getting a ton of offers, so he's definitely gonna be taking his time and choosing what he finds best

FUT played Jett Omen Viper Cypher Sage
M80 are playing Fade Omen Cypher Deadlock Sage

What would you do for Harbor?

Yup, we really don't know much atm. We should at least have a decent idea by the time RBHG rolls around, though, so I guess there's that to look forward to

W mans

Oh yeah I forgot one

• Change his agent icon to the old one (the one VLR still uses)

Kinda debatable but I think it looks a lot better

My ideas were:

• Make wall a bit longer (QoL), give it a shorter cooldown (30 seconds to match other controllers) and hide the line it makes on the ground from the other team
• Wall and cascade no longer slow allies + slow to enemies increased from 30% to 50%
• Cove cost goes down to 300
• Ult stuns faster so it's not as easy to dodge

No clue.

They are buffing Harbor, though... they're just taking a while because they think "he needs larger scope work" and they're still "exploring their options. "

The post he's referencing is also him btw

Personal preference

Wdym disappear

We're getting -icy threads unprompted in the middle of the offseason now... incredible

Netherlands Antilles

"Watch this" LMAO that's so subtle

Saadhak does NOT belong on fraudwatch

Y'all got this fr

"You can also expect changes to Phoenix, Sage, Cypher, and Gekko."
^^ from the Dev Diaries video

I really hope they can make it through

USA got a new coach and then proceeded to lose to Panama before firing said coach after like three games

Wait that's really really cool

If only it had more than two guns :(

Do you think that could be a coaching problem?

Idk what else to tell ya. They're all very driven, but at the end of the day they have something or someone they care about more than esports

Yeah man. I can't even begin to imagine how good or bad LOUD could be next year
