Lived in Japan for a year and a bit. My japanese is rusty as hell and I’m not bothering with it right now (swedish) but it’s best to start by learning hira+kata+grammar imo, it’s how I did it and was pretty chill

Valorant protocol = basically that, all the agents work together to keep world safe or something idk

thats what the valorant protocol is ya

nah cause we’re talking about percentage of events not playoff conversion rate

Learn grammar first and how to structure sentences, conjunctions and key words etc. Once you get that you can plug and play with new words and stuff. Also focus on learning the words before Kanji cause there’s always almost the mini hiragana above the kanji

From my POV the charm of arcane came from the development of attachment to characters but i could also be tweaking, its harder to achieve that in one ep per character

Omen is harder to convey emotion cause you don’t get facial expression unfortunately (unless it’s before he’s omenified)

yeah its not like its impossible but for me a lot of the charm was the kinda, fantasy universe of arcane and that unreachable story. i think they could do a good series but not as good of a series as arcane

valorant is much harder to do because it’s set in the real world unfortunately

im talking about raw competition for the league itsself (maybe in the long term this works)

its so cringeee the way they can just go dead last and still stay.

This

😥😥😥

from a rito standpoint its bad from a comp standpoint its good
(less money for rito but more actual teams cause its the actual best teams)

Thats also true my king is staying with Liquid. Why cant we have the fun teams :(

edit: chronicle to liquid -enzo ‼️

It makes sense but its bad for competition lol

This isnt something that would actually work in the current ecosystem but I also think the raw format is way better than what we have right now

i know lol, nats can call if needed but he doesnt have to same with cloud. in honesty a russian rebuild wouldnt be a bad idea but you kinda have to get chron imo (if fnc bomb out at champs then theres a chance)

yeah clearly they’re gonna be unhappy but we shouldnt be babying them. even like, british football (one of the biggest sports, huge fanbase and massive orgs) has proper relegation, in honesty the franchise system is kinda chalked already and relegation means theres proper incentive to build good teams rather than being able to just MIBR/FURIA out and make a bag from doing nothing,

i forgot who speak russian

after we have this year ascension (12 teams in each league), the system we have been given is fucked. it makes no sense and is kinda just bad lol.

i cooked up in a reply this system and wanted to give it it’s own post

instead of force relegating the team from ascension if they dont make playoffs, we do like this: bottom 2 teams from each league (#11 and #12) play the top 2 teams from tier 2 (decided from two ascension-esque events). the top 2 teams go to/stay in franchise and the bottom 2 go to challengers of their region or are fully relegated (this is harder to work, i have ideas but cba cooking them right now)

two ascension tournaments each year (one in july and one in december).
two splits, a july or august ascension depending on champs, a third split, then a november or december ascension (after gc champs). we then have relegation tournaments with a format of

m1 Ascension winner vs franchise team
m2 Ascension winner vs franchise team

m3 m1 winner vs m2 winner
m4 m1 loser vs m2 loser

m5 m4 winner vs m3 loser (lower finals / bo5)

m6 m5 winner vs m3 winner (grand final / bo5 / m3 winner with double ban)

To make it easy, the higher seeded franchise team (e.g 10th higher seed than 11th) could pick their opponents for match 1/2
both teams in m6 will qualify for franchising, idk if there should also be cash prize for it to incentive trying and allow for roster changes once qualified

+nats +cloud +redgar or something

Rito hire me instead of Leo Faria

ah got it

wait can i cook…. there is two ascension tournaments each year (one in july and one in december).
and wait for it.
in january (end of the month) we run the relegation tourney as a hype event, not only does it work with having more events but it fills the off season and means we can have more splits, potentially even 4 splits a year (?) with split one and two being for Ascension 1, and with split 3 and 4 being for ascension 2.

obviously this might mean we cant have ascension be a lan or we have to reshuffle stuff but it has so much potential i feel

edit: after thinking for more than 3 seconds I think the best way to do it would be two splits, a july or august ascension depending on champs, a third split, then a november or december ascension (after gc champs). we then have relegation tournaments with a format of

m1 Ascension winner vs franchise team
m2 Ascension winner vs franchise team

m3 m1 winner vs m2 winner
m4 m1 loser vs m2 loser

m5 m4 winner vs m3 loser (lower finals / bo5)

m6 m5 winner vs m3 winner (grand final / bo5 / m3 winner with double ban)

To make it easy, the higher seeded franchise team (e.g 10th higher seed than 11th) could pick their opponents for match 1/2

close but talon isnt getting grouped idt

Ascension is already cooked in honesty, franchising is super difficult to work without a NORMAL system. Maybe something like a proper relegation system would be better.
i.e the bottom two teams from t1 and the top two of t2 (decided through ascension-esque tournament) play for two spots in t1

dont even blame them icl, losing team members can be big and wedid seems like such a friendly person from what i’ve seen, its valid to be thrown off (especially for the reason that he cant play)

g2 3-2 drx in champs finals its just the truth

are you good gang what does this mean

I hope he recovers, it’s a super sad thing to happen especially with this timing
