yeah and that guys laugh annoyed me so much I had to watch parts of it on mute im ngl

if the tontatta subplot wasnt a thing I would put it S but I didnt like the tontatta subplot so its A

it maybe was because I watched it instead of read it but I also just didnt care about the flashback in that arc and thats what everyone says is the best part of the arc

im more for world building than fights in one piece so I need good characters and hody jones was terrible as a character so I despise that arc

I agree, I just looked up a one piece tier list maker and they were seperate, thats why I put them together at the top as the best arcs in the show

alabasta was great but

Ive only just seen urashima vs luffy so im only like 10 episodes in and I still have 180 episodes, it is kind of wild how long it is

I watched one pace from thriller bark to whole cake island, wasnt that bad and generally I like slower paced anime

even if I was reading the manga, thats almost 75 volumes after it is mentioned which is just absurd to me

i hated genuinely every character in fishmen island, i only got excited to see jinbe back and thats it

skypiea was just bad made me stop watching for a month and I kept thinking one piece was not for me until I got to Water 7/Enies Lobby

I can see the arguement for dressrosa, but the law backstory episodes are my favourite episodes in the whole show and doffy is a fantastic villain

also I know skypiea gets important now but I watched it a year ago, it shouldnt take fucking 800 episodes for an arc to become important especially when other than enel it sucks ass

Ive helped out in indie projects and everyone I have ever asked about it is all for piracy, they know people who are going to pirate the game are either not in a financial position to buy the game or will buy the game after testing it out

Any word of mouth for a game whether its from paying for the game or not is great for the game

Games im not sure about I still pirate first if I can and buy later if I enjoy it, I would never have played my favourite game ever (Disco Elysium) if I didnt first pirate it to try it out

Generally the only people who care about piracy are the marketing team and higher-ups because they look at someone not paying and think that it loses them money when in reality it doesnt change the sales figures

no

apeks mainly because polaris but also pcific cant play with most of their roster anyways

loita and comeback are super scary when they get to VCT theyre going to tear it up

overrated by people who dont watch much, underrated/perfectly rated by people who watch a lot

its fun to fuck with people who bandwagon to the most popular players because they really idolise them for no reason other than theyre the most popular, nothing against the actual players

easily KK, aspas has no presence compared to him

havent watched since kaydop, scrub killa and fairy peak were the goats dont recognise anyone anymore

if sacy is leaving, you want another vocal player and I would probably take zander

N4RRATE - ini
Zander - smokes
johnqt - senti
zekken - duelist
covert mada to flex or (bias because he shouldve been in tier 1 last year) bdog

tried to watch AK vs 2G yesterday and I genuinely couldnt because it was just jail valorant, felt so bad for their coaches, every single round had a massive mistake for no reason

your mmr is fucked, game doesnt think you belong in the rank you're in

playing a second account to get back up to immortal again before going back to my main and im losing 12-16rr in ascendant while gaining 22-28rr

also depends on your performance that game, enemy rank, teammate's ranks etc.

someone check on these coaches I would be fucking fuming watching my team play like this

fun casually but sucks competitively, gets worse the more you play imo

yeah I like the game as well but none of my friends did lol

its fun but be aware its a MOBA, all of my friends were excited to play then realised it was a MOBA more than a hero shooter and they all quit after 2 games

was a straight a/a* student but had some issues when i was 16-17-18, ended up dropping out but worked pretty hard in my second half of being 18 and managed to work and get qualifications at a technical college to get into uni without losing a year, just entering my final year to get a degree in comp. scienece/AI

if apeks dont win then it will 100% be apeks

otherwise, probably a dach team

I said the same thing about wo0t last year btw

first map showed a lot of cracks, this map they just straight up look like the worse team

nieSoW

welcome to NAVI

i thought it couldnt get worse but then it did

aint no way derke will get wasted on KOI

also sayonara is 16 lol looks like someone is getting trolled

13/1 in 1v1's is kinda wild idk how he is so good in clutches but falls apart in team situations

brother you didnt make the clip

why does he tilt his head the same way dogs do when theyre confused

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEjZCwGcA0k

skim through the video and you can see hes always tilted off to the side

cs2 just doesnt feel the same, not as responsive and not as consistent

and the map pool aint it and it changes very very rarely

honestly the only fans i have seen kicking up about this are prx, th, edg and sen fans who all idolise their players in weird ways

especially prx parasocial fans, weird as fuck

game wasnt built with replay system in mind because it would probably delay the game very heavily, will take a while to find a way for it to work with the unique ways they developed valorant (systems to combat hacking and systems to reduce latency)

EU and NA are generally better at fps games, both have pretty deep talent pool for the moment

Valorant is a Riot game so Pacific and China will always have a deep talent pool

wont be dominated by a region for at least 10 years from what I see

thats supposed to be the things that were changed, he just cant figure out how to label things

also he has tanizhq as coach when every other source in the world is saying bonkar has verbally agreed to be HC of NRG

pancada did miss

he missed every international this year

mans just guessing

pulling out the 3 year old stats from before chamber released

thats sadly just the volatility of a diverse esports scene, you have to prove yourself when you get the chance or someone else will take the chance to prove themselves, one you get the chance you cant underperform

I do feel like there are some TOs that can be worked with to avoid that, I wish riot worked with ESL but they probably wont

there definitely is a chance that talent runs dry but at the same time young talent each year is getting better and proving itself in franchising, look at start of year KC, Karon on Gen.G, TH roster. Orgs are going to start taking punts at the younger players and hoping for crazy results in that way and I feel like that will be pretty good for the scene, especially when more teams are actually added to franchising and more slots are opened up on those weaker teams

its definitely rare but seemingly ok people can just snap and ruin the look of their brand along with anyone associated with them, look at twitter and what it did to tesla stocks

i think its mostly that riot want full control of the brand they make to make sure they can continue to have sponsors, if a TO fucks up and it becomes a big story, sponsors wont want to be involved with valorant anymore

at the end of the day, riot is a business

they need to care about franchising and really the only reason to run esports is for money, otherwise it does nothing but burn the pockets of the people in the company

they do put money into tier 2, although I do agree it isnt enough and they should look to slim down the amount of leagues across EMEA and Pacific, and also promote it more on social media, but at the end of the day theyre a business and they have to think about their way to make money and tier 2 isnt the way theyre going to make that money
