team secret also played sova on lotus the whole year (i dont get it tbh, viper is so fucking strong on this map and not having it makes your defense so weak)

god i cant fucking wait to see skye get the regen flash back.

Im not a yay doubter, but he HAS to get mentioned in this discussion. I heard he is working on playing all sentinels now, but my guy has been a chamber / jett 2 trick for his entire career so far.

holy fuck you are so brazilian :

• furia are not touching top 6
• top 4 is : g2/sentinels (i think both are fucking insane), then leviatan, then 100t
• top 5/6 : kru - nrg
• top 7/8 : 2G / EG
  and bottom 4 is too up in the air anyways

using my tip rn

no its good as fuck, its a herbal liquor and it mixes super well with energy drinks like redbull. it is a bit on the expensive side tho

I agree, I personally dont really like the persona he puts on because its so obviously a way to cope with the fact that he performs badly in matches.
I think he has big mindset problems, and the fact that his persona is built around the fact that he accepts his terrible performances in matches plays into it a lot. I genuinely think he is good enough at val now that he doesnt need to play fully supportive, and this playstyle is straight up holding his team back.
Would recommend this great video on the subject :

The thing is, actual AI is still in its infancy. What we see right now (chatbots and stuff) is GenAI, which is still extremely limited. GenAI will never fully replace human intervention, as it is not aware of what it actually generates. Basically AI right now is not actually smart, its just good at faking being smart by spitting out what smart people say on the internet. So it will still need human intervention in most domains.

This is a take from Yann LeCun btw (who is basically the AI goat) if you want to know more about this.

That said it is scary what GenAI can still do in domains like art, which is frankly fucking sad imo cuz it just removes soul and emotions from the most beautiful stuff humans do (paintings, music, etc)

no way are they for real gonna go with zyppan and kicks ? are they dumb ? its their last year in vct wtf

good comms but banned hmmmmmmm

+1, lets see the baiting neon at work

i dont think runner is gonna be in t1 bro

yeah and i love sayf, so no flame at all, but he is sooooo much better on duelist. Its night and day. He was a mid flex player, but was a demon on duelist in split 2. He can play neon as well, so he would be goated in this meta

bro there is no WAY derke goes to VIT. Would be such a fucking troll move from him in my opinion.

1. He will be paid WAY more at NRG (NA salaries are fucking absurd)
2. He gets to fit into a system with FNS, who is known to still give a lot of freedom to his players when IGLing, while still giving them the structure they need.
3. VIT already have a duelist player with sayf, while having a way worse system than NRG.

So basically going to VIT = being paid less to have less chances of actually winning

Need a way to search for players. Want to sign an NA igl for my "save team liquid project" (i have a savior complex) and i cant find a way to search for them in player hub

aspas
primmie

jonahp 1v4 against th at shangai (was an ace)
patitek 1hp clutch against g2 at shangai
mako ace clutch against prx in pacific playoffs
trexx 1v5 against navi in emea playoffs
benjifishy sheriff ace against vit in emea playoffs
stax ace on first game with t1 in stage 2
forsaken 1v5 with judge at madrid
tenz ace on his first round of masters madrid

here are some that come to mind other than those three that stand out

bro chichoo is not a smokes player, he only plays smokes when edg run no senti. Smoggy is a smokes player and I think he was the best smokes player at the event. And i love team heretics but benjy or meteor were not the best senti, chichoo was. Otherwise I kinda agree, other than the fact that boo being the best igl is kinda controversial, I would just give best igl to nobody since he won the event. (even though im the biggest nobody hater and ive been praying on his downfall for years at this point)

map of the year is the aspas 40 bomb lotus game vs sentinels (entertainment wise), but i agree that bind and the icebox th vs fpx are good contenders

i agree, chichoo hard carried that upper final, and im not sure edg win without the 2 maps ban (ascent is a 50/50 but th win icebox for sure).
kang kang is the final mvp for sure but chichoo mvp of the tournament for edg. (we all know the actual tournament mvp out of any teams is riens)

anyone not saying chichoo for edg didnt watch the game today. man single handedly won them abyss. he HARD carried their defense

I legit think fpx need to drop autumn. Not that he is a bad player or anything, but the communication issues are just really really bad. Its a miracle that they got this far with autumn playing with no comms except pings on the minimap. Idk how they would replace him, because he is kind of their flex player, as berlin likes to play smokes, but I think its doable, and it would help them a lot
