For sure but there have been way too many times where I guess a 2-1 between two teams close in level and it ends up being a 2-0. KBG should win either way...

Thank you CoCloudy. I'm still young but I would love to become a good father to a child some day. :)

Glad to hear that!

Yes Listenbourg isn't real I was trying to be "funny". As for Malta and Luxembourg, I would probably not pay it any mind if someone didn't know it, but I feel like Luxembourg is relevant enough for a good chunk of people to know (high GDP per capita, Benelux, etc).
Not that my opinions on what people should/shouldn't know matters though.

I guess it makes sense from a non-European standpoint but the only countries in Europe I'd be 100% okay with someone not knowing are Liechtenstein, Andorra, Listenbourg, and Moldova.

I play on a piece of leather (literally) on top of a laptop bag so I don't know if my observations are correct but my friend covers up his mousepad with a cloth every time he leaves his computer idk to prevent dust or smth.

3/5 players are from the CN region (TW players can declare CN status)

Kids cheering sound effect

I don't think it's right to fault someone for not knowing Kiribati. It's not like it's a particularly significant country in any means. I'd be quite appalled however if they didn't know say... Montenegro or Armenia or smth...

Depends on your humor.

It's an island nation in Oceania...

Maybe I should change my name to IonlywatchvctcnXD

That's more like it!

VCT Champs 2026 confirmed to be located in China

To each their own ig.

Come watch China

Definitely something environment related. Could get higher education if I want to become a teacher .

Yeah but they're just one of eight teams...

I think you replied to the wrong thread...

Yessir

I have a Chemistry exam tomorrow that might decide whether or not i have a future so...
Still trying to keep up with China Ascension though.

CN Ascension 2025 Group B: Ambitious Legend Gaming vs Qing Jiu Club

ALG Observations: Not ambitious enough i guess. Honestly the CCG game wasn't very interesting to me and it was hard to stay focused due to how one sided it was.

Q9 Observations: Played better than expected against KBG. player in particular was a good duelist and although they lost I think there's plenty of room for improvement.

ALG PtW: huNter is the special PtW because while his team was mid, he was even midder (no offence).

Q9 PtW: player

Prediction: Q9 2-0 win against ALG.

CN Ascension 2025 Group B: Chosen Clique Gaming vs Keep Best Gaming

CCG Observations: Their defense on Bind was impressive, especially their retakes. Their teamplay was good and the attacking were good enough to close up both maps. Haven was extremely one sided, so there isn't much to say. Player mechanics look adequate and I'm looking forward to another game from this team.

KBG Observations: A strong performance overall from KBG. Keeping their best interest in mind, the team was able to obtain a win against Q9. The site executes were great (especially on Haven), and players adapted well to the situations they were in. I had some doubts when the attack half ended 6-6 on Abyss but their defense proved me wrong. As previously stated, the Haven attack was just amazing and I really liked the Iso - Yoru double duelist combination.

CCG PtW: Maple and KaweNtw both had good and should be consistent enough for another good showing.

KBG PtW: Wolfen stood out and is my PtW for this series.

Prediction: 2-0 KBG win. CCG puts up a good fight but are unable to close out the series.

Thanks I'm probably going to need it.

Thank you! I'm applying to faculty of science too :)

Not today...

UBC. It's probably the only university I'll apply to (both campuses).

I hope you feel smiley as the day goes on :)

Good evening to you!

CN Ascension 2025 Group A: ZY Gaming vs Xtreme Gaming

ZYG Observations: ZYG played lackluster to my original expectations. However, that is not to say that there were not any positive takeaways. There isn't a lot to talk about when it comes to Lotus. They got thrashed on that map and rightly so, considering how RA was playing. However, Haven was, in my opinion, the map where they started to show some brilliance. They traded well, and individual players such as slowly got to have great hero moments. Regardless, they lost both maps, and I feel like teamwork after getting the plant down is one of the main aspects of the tactics they have to work on.

XG Observations: To be honest, the only player I knew from XG was QiuYe, and he never stood out to me as anything special. Regardless, they played quite well on Bind against XLG, even managing to win the map. I won't go as far to say that they're favorites for this series but they're definitely not as bad as many might've imagined.

ZYG PtW: slowly. B1sk was who I was looking forward to before the match but I feel like he's not gelling well enough to pull off what he did in Spain.

XG PtW: I don't know much about the players but QiuYe seems to still be cooking just fine.

Prediction: 2-1 win for ZYG with at least one thrashing.

CN Ascension 2025 Group A: Rare Atom vs Xi Lai Gaming

RA Observations: The team plays well together. I've only seen one game from them, but one thing I can say for sure is that I did not expect them to play together so well. Their demolition job on Lotus was beautiful to watch and their good defensive play had good synergy with how well they were able to snowball rounds. Haven proved to be much of the same imo. I'd love to see more from this RA team.

XLG Observations: I feel like the 2-1 scoreline takes away from how well they played. At a glance, it looks to be a close game, but to me I feel like Xtreme Gaming just played really well on Bind, which to be fair was their map pick. I think XLG was very prepared coming into Sunset, and their convincing performance on it is a great result considering how well their attacking executes worked. Lotus wasn't as close as I anticipated but it was a good showing from XLG.

RA PtW: freeing. Everyone knew he was good for DK but he smoked ZYG like cured ham.

XLG PtW: Rarga and happywei. Both of them seemed to have good performances but as a support player, I particularly enjoyed MrCANI's utility usage.

Prediction: Both teams look good and I could see either side winning this one. 2-1 series incoming.

Facts. I was wrong this time but I can’t really complain seeing how good freeing performed 😅

It's a city in China but their SAR status allows for them to be represented separately when it comes to sports. There shouldn't be any controversy here.

People just refer to it as a country for convenience's sake

Looks like freeing is trying to free all of the ZYG players from the pressure of advancing to playoffs. This guy's the real deal.

It doesn't even need to be full caps imo but that's up to you :)

Horrible decision from JDG considering that stew clears yay in every metric.

Thank you <3

She looks nothing like Boaster though...

MIKKA is nice though!

She's his romantic partner I think

"Did you hear about that weirdo? A friend told me all they talk about is valorant and some dude named Tenz... stay away if you don't want to catch the cooties."

I'm afraid that ship has already sailed. The plan is already set in motion and any changes might cost me my future.
