It's just people online getting ragebaited by an entry duelist hitting jumping headshots

Nvm airball has a better answer than I do

You're either contacted directly (see #4) or you sign up for open tryouts (a couple VCT teams held these last year, such as Global Esports)

I didn't even notice it's been two weeks tbh

Seychelles took less than 4 days idk what's going on. They're probably just not seeing the thread somehow

Recovering chronic overthinker here... you're overthinking this, man. Lemme break it down for you.

The thing about blaming someone is that, by definition, you are attributing wrongdoing to said someone; it's you saying: "I believe you are at fault." So for you to blame someone is to attribute a fault to that person. And not all faults are worth bringing attention to.

Here's a question for you: is comparing yourself to others a fault worth criticizing? You probably have a different opinion than I do, but I'll give you my two cents regardless.

I've always thought that the "wrongdoings" of a person aren't necessarily depreciating or harmful unless somebody else is being impacted negatively. If you do something I believe is wrong, sure, it might tick me off a little... but if it isn't harming you, and nobody around you is negatively affected, whether it be physically or emotionally or anything like that, then who am I to think otherwise?

It's a bit more nuanced in your case, because you haven't given any examples so it's kinda hard to tell what kinds of comparisons you're dealing with. So I'd say rule of thumb is that if you see someone is being negatively affected by this, then yes, you can blame them; if the outcome isn't negative, then considering it a pet peeve of yours and moving on is one of the better things you can do.

(Do note that we're not taking intention into account here. I'd like to believe in most cases, comparisons aren't backed with toxic intention, but rather with the intention to help in some way. Since that's almost impossible to measure, you can probably just ignore it. It's good to keep in mind, though, even if it's admittedly a bit too optimistic.)

Karmine Corp trolled in their last two matches but they were NOT playing poorly against FNC

Also if there's one thing we've learned in 3 years of franchising, it's that FNATIC are a good team and win a lot. When you lose against that kinda team, it's what it's

Congratulations, you have received Boostio Reyna

1. There were rumours but they were a while ago and they never came into fruition
2. NAVI was their only loss this split other than FNATIC (which, like, fair enough, it's FNATIC)
3. Nobody's making changes or getting put "over the edge" with literally a single match left in the regular season (other than Talon last year, I guess)

Their season's not even over yet btw

VCT Americas being hosted in Los Angeles, permanently nerfing the Brazilian scene

There's so many potential routes you could take with this one I'm not even gonna bother writing them out

Is ChickenJoe a mod? I thought they were just an article writer

Bump

5 toddlers is definitely worse than this

Yoru Gekko Harbor Viper Vyse

If you wanna go more traditional you can replace Gekko/Vyse with Fade nah we ball 🗣🔥

Watching him doing interviews with Jenn Lee at Masters Toronto was so hecking funny

I have this kinda game at least once or twice a week

He's definitely the best entry duelist on 100 Thieves, I'll give you that

Internet so bad it sent the post twice

What kinda identity crisis do you need to have to change your entire profile and then do it again 10 minutes later

Ok BulkyLettuce

Bump

Kickoff had one of the best map pools of all time imo

I'm backing Los Grandes to make it tbh

Also you forgot MENA :(

It's crazy how we've had extensive visa issues in every region except CN this year

Sand could definitely see himself on a lower tier EMEA team next year

Probably had something to deal with beforehand

Moh has been ok lately but he's been really good for the 4 years prior. Plus they signed avez (who was frying but wasn't on a top 2 MENA team) so clearly they were looking into the MENA scene

Hi WawyBizard

I honestly thought they were getting Moh until SUYGETSU was announced

Bait so lazy you couldn't even look up his name

I wish sh1n was still on the roster but they wanted to rebuild around marteen and they did a good job of it

+1 these changes are nice

sh1n is a W shout

This is a gamergirl thread title

Let me give you an example of what might happen, as well as the issues it may pose:

Team 1 picks Icebox
Team 2 picks Breeze
Corrode is the decider

Team 1 picks Viper
Team 2 leaves the building in protest

Always knew you were a Twisted Minds fan

And they better hecking win it, or I'm gonna be upset

We probably should've kept them there

Woah that's crazy they were in Berlin like two hours ago

It will be in Paris (probably)

Calling a 35-year-old "almost 40" is a very disheartening thing to do

What they'll probably do is make it so the Ascension winners get the easier side of the bracket in Kickoff next year (obviously it'll be off placements the previous year so the advantage is non-existent, but Riot will probably do it anyway)

It's funnier that way

Edit: nvm I'm now realizing if they lose their next match their year might be over, it's not funny anymore please lock in guys please

I am convinced none of you know what "objective" and "fact" mean

For a good second I thought you were laughing at T1

Please write an objective fact about or relating to the VALORANT Champions Tour (or the professional VALORANT scene in general).

If you make a post but fail to do as is required, you will be added to the list.

I will publicly release this list when I feel like it

c4Lypso, next question
