GenG that low is criminal. They got an upgrade from lakia -> yoman and downgrade from meteor -> foxy
solo and hsk are still goated coaches, and karon + t3xture can deadlift games

100t is not good. they should be bottom of B

how is mibr > nrg when u haven't seen mibr play. NRG at least showed some demos that they have a system in place
Nzr is good yeah, and aspas is pulling the other bums, but theres no shot they are making any international

EG are severely underrated. idk why u don't have faith in potter . . . even last year's EG did relatively well with a few bums, this year they got clear upgrades

this shit is ass, dont cook

foxy9 + t3xture vibes are immaculate if u've watched their streams. t3xture is a great vibes guy, similar to oxy

I unironically think JoshRT is one of the best coaches in the world and doesn't get enough credit. To be fair though, I think they will start of weak but reach peak potential by 2nd masters.

I think GenG staff can cook really well in the meta, whereas T1 have autumn who I think is a fraud, but still have good enough players to make it work

few things
thinking in the language
immersion in the language
vocab => being able to translate something you know into the foreign language helps u make connections
lack of embarrassment - it inhibits growth
being consistent - do 10-30 min daily rather than 4 hours in a day

meteor or t3xture
GenG dominated until champs, and got their masters win
yeah they flunked out of champs, but t3xture is tied for best duelist with zekken and aspas
meteor is actually so impactful in the multi frags he gets. he's like an upgraded version of alfa with better agent pool and discipline

social science > geology > astronomy> physics > bio > chem

This is just stupid, why remove skill complexity from the game - just make the smokes last longer if they are on a flat surface, and shorter if they are used on weird cracks

not meeting expectations != a bad ending.

i agree that incest is morally reprehensible. ayasaka sensei is wry enough to bait it throughout the manga. hes the kind of guy to ironically put it in, but never commit to that premise.

i think u misunderstood the ending.
ruby still has black star eyes, indicative of her trauma - she's still lying to herself saying that she has healed etc. she won't really move on from either trauma she experienced

the rest of the characters make sense:
kana: had to be kept pure/in the light so she reacted the most viscerally to aqua's death bc she was meant to bring him out of his dark persona. though she only accepted the lies presented to her by aqua

akane: willing to do anything for aqua, accepted the liar behind the lies. while morally ambiguous she will recover the best out of the 3 main girls

also you have to understand that the harem/incest subplot was always bait, the fact that aqua died this way and ended up with none is to be ironic

it is a good ending your just a hater

kana x akane is best outcome

The day ends

people on this website are the dredges of society piled up.
Valorant already has a pretty shitty playerbase, and when you collect the worst of those people here on VLR you get bigoted/extremist views.

most people who are well adjusted to society don't have a problem with marginalized genders playing in GC

bro is doing it for me. <3 thanks man

theres not enough time. worlds has a week after the later stage matches

$10 he lets the initiators take first contact and die first

I love magoat

idek. ill keep supporting DRX and hope they do well, but I know for a fact that they aint winning shit

aspas doesn't speak korean, which means him calling for util and shit is gonna be rough9

unsure, but the VLR leaker said DRX were cooking, and someone else said Aspas was interested pacific, in DRX and Bleed in particular

DRX aspas for beyn would be a travesty. going from pure korean to english is not worth it imo. Buzz is still very good, and continues to improve, the only weak links are mako's igling and beyn and foxy9 fragging on support roles.

saadhak also mentioned that Less isn't a terribly vocal player. just give him the game plan and let him shoot

ripbozo

but his awp is not.

oh SHIT this roster is about to be stacked. 3x cracked duelists is scary ngl

mako is still goated at playing around smokes.
his and s0m's smoke IQ is the best in the world.

if he has to focus on micro, his IGL suffers, if he has to focus on macro, his micro suffers.
he's shown flashes of being able to balance both - i think its just a matter of time b4 is a good enough caller - like munchkin

don't reply to the baiters. they don't have as solid of a grasp on english to understand what you are trying to say.

smurfing isn't anything special.
i can drop 50s in gold if i wanted to

smoggy 2.0
ong if they can convert someone like sonofcar or yay to smokes that would be nuts.

zekken
zellsis
johnQT

n4rrate

+?
Losing tenz makes their firepower go wayy down imo. Yeah n4rrate and zekken can solo carry games, but having a reliable smokes anchor like Mako, Karon, Tenz really was a make or break for teams this year. Hoping to see either Zander or a similar t2 talent fill tenz's shoes
Knowing the vile sen fanbase though, it might be rough for them to have the same kind of impact as tenz, so im hoping the replacement does well and doesn't take the sen vitriol to heart.
who do you think is gonna step up?

marved in 2024 showed he had weak work ethic ngl

zellsis's KJ is decent enough to be comparable

rosssy's kayo, breach, viper are wayy better than zellsis

engineering. mechE, Aerospace, electrical chemE are all solid.
dont waste your life slaving away in CS

stax my goat

I think there's a distinction to be made, bc while chichoo is the better player, during the tourney and GF, KangKang deadlifted EDG through the GF and singlehandedly won them so many rounds - his impact is so huge

I know ACS is a pretty bad metric, but I think KK beat TenZ's record for GF ACS no? or is that record the ACS for the tourney as a whole

Holy fucking Lisan Al Gaib

60m is non concurrent viewers (total views on twitch/yt) so it checks out

I still think GenG blow EDG outta the water. Everyone else is pretty deserving ngl.

white silence -TK

i hate playing abyss as deadlock bc my team dies fighting for A or B in 20 seconds and im stuck playing retake simulator
they gotta make the bombsites better. mid is fine

The script writers putting G2 in playoffs is bad writing. These guys have no aura. EDG is hype as fuck. If riot really cares about viewership they're gonna have EDG top 3

MAKOOO MY FUCKINBGGG GOAAATTT THE BEST SMOKER OF ALL TIME
