cmiygl is his best album AND it's not cluttered with his stupd synths

you don't need to waste your time listening to cherry bomb

If you want to stay in 2D, Platinum or one of the Black and Whites

Diamond/Pearl are slow and unpolished versions of Platinum

mfw i tab into agent select and i see Sage Jett Iso Cypher and I am faced with the Most Difficult Choice

watch americas to follow how well big players mesh with their new rosters (fns, yay, aspas, etc) - for some, failure in vct 25 will probably mean the end of their career, at least in tier 1

I feel like people on vlr don't think about the massive swath of val players who solely queue unrated and spike rush - a simple map mirror or reskin (snowy holiday ascent/haven, nighttime sunset/lotus) would have way bigger impact for growing/retaining playerbase and interest compared to just small map revisions

would be fun if they used mirrored versions of the existing maps for a month

7acs in an unrated wouldn't even get you any xp because the game will think you're afk

wasnt the whole point of mibr aspas that he could pick to play with ppl like nzr 😭

walmart genghsta 😭 even if i wrote this kid's username down i wouldn't be able to remember it in a week

why do these kids wait until retirement to impression farm

flair

where tf is my boy apoth going then :(

yeah rumor is that aspas proposed a (brazilian?) roster to MIBR, and they're trying it out right now!

probably a much better outcome for him and the americas scene than ending up in the middle of APAC

mooda igl 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

100T era iteration was so wholesome

busy fighting for his wages from bleed probably 🥺

Roster looks really solid, still a little bummed about no aspas lol

I think japan is gonna have a great year

If you join me in prayer, we can manifest ZETA aspas for split 2

It tastes exactly as you'd expect it to taste (like a lunchable).

Hopefully we get a sliver of competition where we end up with marginally improved lunchables in like 5 years

I mean I like jjk and horimiya and legend of the galactic heroes and everything in-between, i just couldn't stand this one show lol it was so cringe

moan louder

there are kids in bronze learning lineups while these guys are fumbling six-figure salaries to study and play video games
good riddance for clearing them out of the roster

Chainsaw Man had some of the cringiest dialogue
I couldn't get past that dinner scene where denji gets his first kiss or something

I'm only plat, but I don't think my ~keyboard input speed~ has ever dampened my performance? It's almost always the aim?
Valorant strafing is so straightforward that snaptap won't make that big of a difference

I'm a fan of rossy but i dont understand why these teams keep betting on secondary callers suddenly becoming igl :( hope he does well

ZETA performance would markedly jump just by having aspas's entry ability, and Dep has definitely played non-duelist roles in the past. Not too much snaking needed there

Okay but what chinese does aspas know 😭 he would be miserable over there and the CN community will be brutal

oh so NOW everyone agrees that ZETA aspas isn't unreasonable. analistas gringos moment

...are they actually making rossy igl...

yeah today is the ~starting~ line 💀
not sure about the transfer deadline, just expect the earlier announcements from teams in more offseason tournaments

From the org's POV, there's no incentive to announce early right? they're probably taking more time to finalize the best rosters possible

ZETA aspas bro it's written in the stars
i'm coming back here once they announce i'm right

ZETA aspas is coming ...

He's been taking japanese lessons for over a year at this point, and he's one of the best players at positioning himself throughout the round - I don't think he'd have too much trouble adapting

please bro he needs to end up in ZETA

Where do you think he should go?

I really dont want to see him sit out stage 1 then get randomly slotted into like Liquid or something, he could build his brand so much if he manages to get onto the right APAC team at this point :(

If all else fails, he should do a francis ford coppola and pay his own buyout to go have fun in APAC, we've already seen enough of him farming in NA...

Global GoFundMe to cover most of his buyout from Leviatan (Japan VCT alone averages like 100,000 eager viewers)

ZETA aspas debut at VCT Kickoff 2025, coinciding with the release of Solo Leveling S2

aspas singlehandedly destroys like GE or something 2-0, then unveils his flawless working-proficiency japanese in the post-game interview

Fans go crazy and ZETA makes a gorbillion dollars off of merch

Even if ZETA ends up falling off, aspas alone triples ZETA viewership and by extension APAC awareness in Americas viewers

Can he please just join zeta :(

Pacific ascension just had the best bo5 in a very long time and you guys put this up first ?

He's already a weeb and knows the relevant comms from playing in the japanese client. If I were him I would go - He's already been world champ so doesn't have much to prove, and even if the team flops like 2024 Bleed I think his brand and following would only grow

kyu is actually pretty good and also igl i think

clear every single angle on duelist or bait hard on initiator

what happened to “Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life" smh

this is the only EMEA tournament i've ever watched, and im somehow really invested in them beating Apeks today - there's something about they way they play

also i really hope their win will set a new precedent for under-18 players in the big leagues

you ... read stream titles ?

yeah ComeBack was hitting some crazy shots

i dont follow T2 emea at all but these PCF guys seem good especially Loita

yeah i would be extremely Pissed to get cut after multiple hour-long podcasts

Izu would double his kills just by not having to comm in english

bro blew the entire NRG chef budget on chewing gum

i still hope he gets onto a franchise roster next year, want to see him play fully out of the optic core for once

tried to farm twitter likes and couldn't even break 7k with a yay clip, then fell right back into irrelevancy

genghsta is so fucking lame lol
