it's called personal preference. you can just say you enjoy soccer more than basketball. doesn't need to be about scoring or lack of scoring.

He's not. he's just telling you that the average american doesn't gaf about international relations, or what's going on outside of the US. don't be disappointed just because your view doesn't match his.

I'm American and I can give 2 shits about American Football. I'm a Basketball guy.

Rogue from X-Men 90s cartoon

answer pessi_41's question first lol

yep, it's straight up toxic. Hope those fools lose.

you know lil bro is a kid when he thinks Usher is a 1 hit wonder lol

He's probably still under contract so that's why they might not have "easily released him during off-season" But yeah he's eating at least.

ima laugh if both NRG and SEN fail to reach the top this season

Earlier seasons better than the later ones

yep. good way to keep up a good reputation...good PR and transparency. When you keep everyone and every thing under tight wraps, speculation happens and then when people finally find out the truth, damage is already done. It's just a crap way to run things overall.

only thing Yay is clearing is his house when he moves back to NA. You heard it here first

if he really said that on stream. they're fighting to not get knocked out rather than fighting to win. Sad way to run the squad

would be nice if this was true, but doesn't seem like they're running a 6-man roster unless something changes behind the scenes

Edit: nm I just saw you put Sacy as coach. lol dang that's a bold prediction

it's Türkiye now btw

with some fine tuning, this can be fire

Some PR is better than zero PR, that's how I see it. Announce it at least so people aren't like huh? You announced Zellsis in a full blown video as 6th man, then Pancada disappears to the bench? Lol. As fans I'm sure they would appreciate knowing some of these things for transparency reasons. It promotes trust in the org and players you're rooting for when you can leave the cards on the table, otherwise it just makes it seem sketchy/shady to hide things like that, just my personal opinion.

same thing i felt. every time a player gets dropped, benched or set to inactive, they never say anything. If they put in that much time, at least have the respect and decency to announce the changes so fans aren't left wondering.

it's a problem overall though. Riot doesn't make money if there's no views or people buying tickets to their events. They're putting a ton of money on booking venues, and paying for a huge production staff just to run these. It's the same as league of legends, eventually the overhead will be too much and they'll have to run layoffs again.

It's good to have more matches for the general fans and pro players but if the viewership is not up to their expectations, it's losing Riot's money.

That's one good thing about these qualifiers, can always see some up-and-coming teams/players.

sadge day for SR fans

Facts

Used to play CS 1.6 and watch CS pros play. Found out 3D | Volcano works for Riot and was working on Valorant. So tried out Beta and here we are.

yep, everything right now is just conjecture on paper and past results. Won't know until we see the matches. Excited to see the upsets and surprises.

good one. lol, could always be worse. imagine being a 100T fan.

doubt a person would willingly leave when they had a solid thing going. Betting something wasn't working behind the scenes so he's likely getting replaced so they made room.

Catch a tiger by the toe.

Putting 5 champs together doesn't always equate to good synergies and a winning formula. Let's see what happens. Hoping they can cook up something good.

highly likely to happen too. more teams partnering up the more exposure valorant gets. It's a good idea.

that's some serial killer vibes, not chase is more thrilling than the catch vibes. You can still chase without looking for her info without telling her. That's just straight up stalking at that point lol. not sure if you're serious or trolling.

Feels bad that everyone was able to escape from the original champs team except him. Hope Jawgemo shows everyone what's up with the new squad

There's better role players than him. It's that simple.

that's what happens when you got an org with no money lol. sucks to see.

Looks like a remake of RISE almost lol

I watched him play growing up, he was never top 10, he was just in the right teams at the right time and racked up a lot of championship rings being a regular role player, so he shouldn't be in the conversation.

The fact that you listed Robert Horry shows me you never watched basketball Lol

yeah for some reason OP is just in denial. Both scenarios can be true. SEN can still be good with or without Pancada.

ikr. at that high level, ANYONE can frag. so being a good fragger alone is not enough. for whatever reason they decided to bench him, we'll never truly know unless someone outright leaked it from the org lol.

Smashing in scrims don't always equate to smashing in regular season games. Gotta wait and see my boy.

I never said he wasn't fluent. I said speaking CONFIDENTLY. meaning he could be holding back or not articulating something well enough when things come up. If English isn't your first language it's only natural to hesitate because he's thinking in Portuguese first. No shade on him. that's just the fact, ask anyone who is bilingual or multilingual where English isn't their first language.

wardell washed

I mean yes and no. remember that stint where they kept replacing players? Look how that worked out. took them forever to start winning (aka now) lol

Pancada can very well be better than tenz in-game. but the problem is his lack of speaking confident English hurt him. Imagine you're in a heated battle and your boy just stays quiet and minimal callouts, when a particular callout might have won you the round. Those kind of things they have to consider. Zellsis brought that dynamic where everyone is just speaking and comming freely. It's not always about who the best is, it also matters how well your 5 is communicating and connecting. they could have a better synergy as that 5 vs the 5 with Pancada. Don't think too deep boys.

Just because it doesn't make sense to you, doesn't mean it's not used over here so don't need to call people stupid. It's ethnicity-nationality over in the US. Why? Because diversity. If they don't wanna label themselves as just American, they'll say what their ethnic origin is even if they were born in the US.

hope he proves us all wrong lol. because after chamber nerfed and him leaving Optic, he couldn't replicate the same level of success

agreed, he's their golden child. probably drop everyone else before dropping him lol

1. Chinese (specifically Cantonese cuisine)
2. Vietnamese
3. Mexican

solid on paper, let's hope they put in the work to dominate the season
