Oh then yeah GE might be very underwhelming this tourney.

If kids are the problem just make it so vlr has to verify an ID or smth and put an age limit of like... 16+ or something. What if there's a vlr user who does not play Valorant and therefore does not have a rank?

I mean, I don't consider myself low rank but I'm sure there are esport enjoyers who are low ranked and can still hold a good conversation. I just don't think rank should even be considered in the equation when determining the value of a person in a conversation. As for the flexing messages, then yeah that's obvious braindead+fatherless behavior, those people should just be ignored. I understand where you're coming from tho.

That'd be a good idea. I'm not against it.

There are some matches that are somewhat of a 50/50 to me. For example, idk how the new GE roster is going to fare against teams like Furia and Vitality, but at the same time Vitality isn't known in EU to be a top team anyways.

That could potentially disencourage meaningful conversations though. Low ranked people may feel uncomfortable talking if they see a high rank, and high ranked people might be so egotistical to the point where they straight up refuse to talk to low ranked people/use their rank as a means to show some nonexistant superiority or smth.

I doubt I'm right for a bunch of these, I don't follow APAC too much and I don't watch a lot of Team Vitality. But here are my pick'ems!

I'm sure it did. Respect <3

Bravo! I really like your use of diction in writing this heartfelt message.

One of BeYN and MiKa if not both is/are going to have to return due to the 1 import rule in the CN League.

I disagree. Many of us aren't immortal, and I know plenty of good folk on this platform who are included in that many I mentioned. I am aghast at your idea and I hope you rethink your suggestion.

No problemo!

Welcome to vlr, jemackle. I'm geospliced, and I hope I can get to know you better through conversations on this platform. Have a fantastic day.

Yeah, I don't follow other sports either so I'm pretty biased towards football/soccer.

I mean, it's a sport. It's all subjective, so I get where you're coming from. Thank you for respecting my opinion, and I most certainly respect yours too.

Right on.

Lmao

Well, I disagree with your statement that everyone is basically at the same skill level, because it's very obvious when one persons dribbling or shooting is better than another. However, you're right that often the game is decided by very few goals, which in my opinion makes the game more exciting, because that allows for so many exciting upsets and revenge storylines lol.

To be honest, I agree.

hell yeah

Okay, the only draws you should be able to enjoy are like... 2-2s or above (3-3,4-4,5-5)

As far as I'm aware it's ingrained into some cultures. For example, here in Italy, if you wear the wrong football jerseys in some cities, you can get verbally abused. Wonderful isn't it? But personally I love watching football for the suspense (you see them pass the ball around and stuff before building up to a goal). I think scoring a goal every half an hour adds to the expense because when they finally score is when one teams fans get super happy and the other teams fans get to sulk in defeat lol. Which is why I can't watch basketball because you score every minute or smth idk.

Surely you jest... ofc, he didn't do well as an igl for both Liquid and KC but his aim is indubitably speaking amongst the best of the best.

OH WAIT A MINUTE I JUST REALIZED IT'S MY DEAR POGE! I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE YOUR FLAG AND FLAIR AND STUFF.
Jeez I'm sorry.

hi anyth1ng, I hope you're having a wonderful day.

But why?

I think it's alright to support people you enjoy watching. I'm too young so I don't have any money, but if I did I'd love to allocate a small portion of it to supporting my favorite streamers/content creators.

Team 1 all the way glory to nats

Salutation my dear B1itz. I hope you're having a fantastic day and I hope the Winter/Summer hasn't been too much of an annoyance to you. vlr is an amazing place to be in and I hope you are happy here. :3

Horrible take man...

I'm pretty sure that yoman will stay with RA though, I heard he might move to a coaching position. It makes sense too considering that he's the igl rn and has experience with the players.

I can imagine so many foreign korean + oceanian players currently residing in China without a team after disbanding... and I imagine that teams like Wolves, Nova, or maybe even TYLOO/TEC might want to sign them when time comes.

Honestly I hope a CN team will pick up SWERL. Man's one of my goats lol.

I mean, maybe it's recentism or something but I think T1 looks really solid as a team right now. I haven't watched the RRQ matches but I did hear that they are cooking. I just don't know how hard. I picked FPX mainly because I think they've got the mentality to push Trace Esports (imo they're top 3 CN team) now that a weaker RA (due to dropping yoman) is out of the picture. And last but not least, yes, I need to inhale that TL hopium as often as I can.

Thank you.

See you later Yistyy! Have a good rest 👍

Pacific 2 teams: PRX, T1
China 2 teams: EDG, FPX
EMEA 2 teams: FNC, TL
Mericas 2 teams: SEN, LEV

Yeah it's definitely one of the better of the four for me.

Right, but I'd like to believe their loss against TEC was a fluke. I'm sure they'll pick themselves up when the season starts.

Definitely

If you look at the upcoming events bar, you will see CN kick off.

No, not who, but what. I was wondering what your thoughts are about the new CN league logo.

What are the teams for Ascension? Is it RA, NWG, 17G, DRG, 4AM, ASE, KBG, and NIP?

Hello! I'm geospliced, and I am curious as to what the community thinks about the new CN League logo.

Yeah I didn't read lol

Wow I didn't even realize OP is S4S lmao

Come on. BLG's not that bad. Besides, BilBili is literally one of the largest social medias in China. How could they not get a slot?

Okay, but I don't know if aspas can fill the gaps between his teammates and the EDG players like Smoggy. I simply felt like when weighing the skills of the individual players, EDG outclasses Lev in almost all aspects but aspas. Of course, with EDG's form nowadays Lev would probably smash them.

I think if EDG gets some rest and becomes sharp again, they could probably beat BLEED and arguably even Leviatan.

Congrats AlmartAn! :D
