whoops. translated it wrong in my head, apologies. fixed, thanks.
"nearly pushed" didnt make it through the edit for some reason. fixed, ty!
one lower bracket round has two matches. fixed the rest tho, ty
educated guess is that the big patch of the offseason is after ascension and before the third split of challengers. that's when the true offseason begins since ascension is still a part of this year's season
listen prewrites have their drawbacks ok
never heard of him he is dead and buried
marved is also a possibility. he igl'd for SEN once dephh left
e: chet tweeted it will be ethan
really struggling to see your point here. are you talking about the "gamepod"?
blud actually forgot how to read
five interviews I did over the course of 3 months!
good spot thanks
websites like dot and dexerto already have a lot of league coverage, and riot's own platforms + liquipedia are enough, making a lol-centric website basically pointless. surrender@20 is dead, for example. but trying wont hurt, who knows! if you can do something the others arent doing, it'll make your idea more valuable
nah this is an ultra common 🐔 W
bold of you to assume these people aren't in a cave
talking about gender is not politics. most of this thread is actually decent, barring the person who called trans people schizophrenic
missed a comma after fns. happens when writing late at night. fixed, thanks!
nothing public has come from sentinels or marved regarding his position in the team. he does not have a contract with sentinels at the time of writing, per the GCD, but who knows what his status is
disclaimer*
salary numbers are not mine. the 25k was a rough figure revealed by george yesterday, so the numbers are not exactly correct. will add as a disclaimer below the original tweet.
has to be monthly. yearly league minimum was 50k.
for money... exactly. not discussing open vs. closed here. you arrived at my starting point.
i assume you're talking about BNE? i don't really follow cs anymore. in any case, that one team made more in one year than riot made in their champions bundle altogether (3M vs. the 2.something the bundle made this year). the scale of the community and what % of it flocks to those stickers/passes to support the major teams is gigantic in comparison to the same numbers that flock to support partnered teams.
valve has implemented crowdfunding methods very well over the past few years, dota 2 TI and cs stickers being the greatest examples of that. not sure what the numbers are for the Worlds LoL passes and a quick google search won't help me, but there's a reason LoL struggles to turn a profit.
when you keep boiling down these decisions and differences, they all come down to one thing: riot's dev-managed closed system. it is the fundamental reason for most of the differences between this game and CS. it's not pretty for a lot of things, but it's great for financial stability. why do you think the blast partnership and louvre agreement exist?
expect any further player releases to be an update of this article. separating players from the coach
the teams. that's who matters to riot. their "players first" marketing has been proven wrong time and time again. riot are a business and their business is making money, and in their eyes orgs are the conduit for that. stipends are pretty large, reported to be ranging from 600k (base stipend) to 1.2M (+400k for deliverables set by riot, usually regarding marketing).
in 2024/2025 we're expecting to see team skins, not just champs skins. can't do that with an open circuit (cs has stickers, not skins), can't do that with riot's current shop system and you won't EVER have an open circuit over a riot IP.
that's why the orgs get paid by riot to be in the partnership. that's why the LoL leagues are franchised. that's why the LCSPA and AVPA exist (to protect players from riot's teams-first decisions), etc etc.
lot of people here saying all flynn does is gather info from other reporters.. not true. his most recent update to the spreadsheet shows very clearly he is the one acquiring info for some of the moves he puts up there. if it's trustworthy or not is another conversation.
mostly financial stability. that's what they're built for. not heightened competition.
with george now gone, americas is kinda dead. but anonimotum in emea, seulgi does good moves in pacific too. lembo has some presence in emea but he's mostly a content creator.
that's a two-way contract. a VCT team can loan to a VCL player, but not the opposite. the opposite is a two-way contract. at least that's my understanding. falls under subsection 4.5 and 4.6 of the rules
yeah man it's so hard :( i don't know how i can live like this :( i am utterly shattered
thankfully the naysayers don't pay me
slight correction: the dates cited as "roster deadlines" are roster submission dates. teams must submit to riot a roster that can play at that tournament. the lock itself only takes place later and they are separate dates. the champions lock, for example, is only july 26.
hesketh is a liquipedia employee (and a good one at that)
nah im the guy who typed "o7" in respect of daveeys and got flamed by the echo chamber. but it's all good!
behaved shady with women, some (many? can't recall) underage. otherwise has a solid track record breaking roster moves. questionable twitter moves at times (like the way he handled the recent esic news) but people do things for impressions
just another day on the job getting torched by the echo chamber hivemind that these forums have become
"james" is an absolute clown
basically the guard's ownership group (kroenke sports & entertainment) is killing its esports venture (the guard) and TG not signing this Team Participation Agreement is basically their "fuck you i'm out"
