vlr try not to braindead overreact over two games challenge

the liquid game was worse

same reason that phoenix is good on the map but rotates quicker

depends where you're looking to live - BC has super friendly worker rights but cost of living is high as fuck(though there's been some very good work to lower housing prices), about 1800CAD/month for a 1bed iirc, Montreal has relatively very low housing costs(ive seen places at 600 if you can find a setup with roommates on facebook or something, my 1bed was about 900) for a big city in Canada but it's somewhat difficult to find a job if you don't speak fluent French(i haven't been able to work at even the english-speaking universities in QC because of my French proficiency, despite having spent years living there), Toronto isn't worth considering(upwards of 2100), Calgary is solid price-wise but weather there is tough and Albertan politics is a nightmare(not sure how much you care about that lol), Halifax prices are comparable to BC(1700), but they're heavily trying to limit external population increase for the express purpose of keeping their prices lower, so you might be paying an even greater premium(i didn't have this issue, but i just got lucky with timing)
figure out what qualities in a city matter to you - do you want a place where there's a lot of night life, something where you can be in nature a lot, something with good public transit, something super cheap, maybe something rural, something with really good food, something more diverse, something with politics that fits your ideals - i'd assess that and then do deeper research into some of the cities i've mentioned, because there's really a lot of different things that you can find depending on what you're looking for

ah fairs

i havent lived in all(or even most) of them, many of these i included purely based on other professor friends living there/general reputation(never had a friend that spent more than a year in winnipeg), and simply because they're big enough to warrant mentioning
most of these places that ive lived have been for work - ottawa was interesting for me as someone that has done work with the NDP in the past, but it's honestly mostly just a government city, not too much going on, victoria i grew up in, montreal was where i studied for my undergrad and mcgill was extremely high ranking at the time(still is), halifax i went to for a job offer, calgary i've visited many times on vacation(alberta is much nicer to visit than live, see banff), van ive been to about 80 times as someone that grew up in victoria(not that i would ever want to teach at UBC, fuck that place)
QC is just based on reputation from friends, same as edmonton, winnipeg is notorious for their stabbing rates, and the 6ix speaks for itself lol

canadian winters are easy you just need thicker skin

Montreal is the best place I have lived in out of every Canadian city in the past 8 years
Victoria also incredible if you can afford
Halifax is beautiful
Calgary is pretty nice
Vancouver/Toronto is probably out of your price range
Edmonton is a miss
Winnipeg will get you stabbed
Ottawa is boring
Quebec City is only nice for francophones
lmk if you want more specifics on some of these, I've lived in quite a few of them

the goals i have set in my life and the people im surrounded by
if you're missing the first one, the only way you can fill that in is just self reflection on what you enjoy and want to achieve and be
if you're missing the second one, meet more people and reflect on your character and how you behave towards others

if you do not have gekko or yoru you are 100% trolling imo

c0ms util is definitely > leo's on sova, but otherwise agree, leo better

considering they are keeping their roster that already made champs last season, i should hope they are going to be top 4 in pacific next season

tons of players that objectively are good enough to have a spot will be out of a team, there arent enough franchised teams to fit everyone
just kind of how talent cycling goes, good to give fresher names a shot

facts, as dogshit as he did last year crashies was actually able to put up elite performances post-optic and looked like the best initiator in americas at times in 2023

physical repulsion

dont really care if this is a bit or not im hijacking your thread to say some woke shit real quick
it is genuinely so fuckin miserable how men speak up in genuine defense of women's rights and how they are treated in society and be feminists there is this group of other men that will come out of the woodwork to make it out as though this must be done in some weird attempt to 'bag a chick' or whatever the fuck and that it is always done with an ulterior motive as if people cant support other human beings without having to directly deal with the struggle itself
i know plenty of people like that are reading this and all i have to say to that is just say you only see women as a sex tool and move on man
the way some of yall see and treat women is genuinely sad and i hope you can reevaluate that behaviour and critically analyse what you're doing

this is true for tenz, not jawg, who also played astra and harbor
also i'll throw in that what defines a pure controller player should probably go beyond simply checking the box of being able to play all six controller agents - there is very much a playstyle aspect to being a pure smokes main, and this playstyle aspect is what arguably inhibits someone like tenz from being asked to play brim and viper and astra
tying that to jawg specifically, i think jawg pretty evidently has the skillset to adjust how he plays different agents to meet the expectations of his role, instead of the alternative where the agent capability has to come to meet the player's style
tbh i would say jawg is also less impressive on controller to where i wouldn't define him as a top tier smokes player the way i would s0m or valyn, but he is able to adjust his playstyle to be a smokes main

i refused to watch giantx last season so ill trust you on that

runner and purp0 had genuine life games

only way you can determine whether you deserve your rank is measuring your own impact through vod review man
in general going off match mvp rate is a pretty bad way to measure your own impact

if i see more people genuinely making player judgments like this off pure stats i think i very well might blow my head off with a gun

sayf's IGL qualities go deeper than that, and where did i say that ethan was non-vocal? widely known as one of the best communicators in the game, but IGLing is more than that
you're still separate from what i said, one more try? maybe on third attempt you'll get within the same zip code kiddo!

good on keeping k4davra, the kid is INSANE

so thats actually separate from what i said, but nice try! maybe read words next time instead of saying your own completely irrelevant point

Sayf has been personally vouched for on his IGL capabilities by multiple past coaches, which isn't true for other teams you mentioned

flyquest is what, 1-6 in this matchup? if this is for brazil scoreline lowkey crazy ngl

only 3 times?? crazy considering that guy has played basically everything i feel like

izu has surely played viper

the player should have to pay for their own living, that's the point of a job

I think saying slurs is bad and should be criticized.

Newzera is a major candidate. Generationally atrocious

the simulator itself is pretty solid quality, now they just need to actually fix the ratings lmao

realistically the barrier of entry money-wise is pretty significant for competitive PC games and black people in america do not make up a large portion of upper class people
you can get into the whole weeds of why that is(starts with o and rhymes with compression) but that's kind of how we get here in any case

vitality pick up kr1stal and its over for the rest of the league
genuinely that team surpasses heretics

and KC poached like 1/6th of it LMAO

how is KC a huge LOL look at that roster
elite clears your whole team

LEV Skuba?

you have to be braindead to put anyone else first sorry

both Mada and Demon1 is crazy

NAVI maybe?

the quality of his support as a flash initiator is genuinely unmatched by any other flash player in the world
you can almost discern precisely the impact of his comms through watching his matches with sound off
this is elmapuddy's scouting report of him prior to champs23 - you can watch some of the clips he's referencing on the right side of the sheet
really highlights just how incredibly quality he is as a support player in a team environment, its unmatched
he even does it on yoru borderline perfectly

ethan is just alright might be the worst take ive heard about the eg roster in my entire life

you say that like boostio, jawg, and c0m's transformation across the season wasn't night and day
c0m went from being top 1 guys everyone thought should be dropped on that roster and a fraud and stealing bcj's spot to winning 7 clutches in the lower bracket finals at champions and singlehandedly carrying eg to beating prx on ascent in upper finals because potter identified c0m's win conditions and made adjustments to the system that allowed him to find the lurk timings he is so incredibly good at
then c0m joined lev and his performance dropped off a cliff because he was made to play a different role and didnt get any of the opportunities to do the exact things that made him a world champion the year prior
and that's just 1 of 3, i could go into detail about the other two also

i would get on my knees for zander no joke

why is the consequences being sent your house on google earth? please explain in an APA formatted 10 page essay

we all watched JDG's gambit right? surely XLG will learn from it and keep kr1stal

no fucking way they're choking again...

if KC sign elite i will be ecstatic

yaoi better
