Specifically the 1v2 lineup at yellow, it should have been over right there.
Dude nice. Welp, sorry Dambi, you're super fun to watch, but... I mean, maybe Ivy?
... But apparently it was to the 2 best teams?
dQw4w 😒 the internet knows already, please try harder
Actually believable this time
How does a team get upset? They probably screwed something up, like a bad map veto, playing dumb against ecos, taking 1v1s in a 2v5, etc. Not always, sure, but probably most of the time.
This stuff has happened a lot less at the tournament so far. I think there wasn't a thrifty the whole first day. So it's not surprising there have been no real upsets.
All of this is a testament to how high quality/drilled/consistent all the teams are, especially considering these are the 2nd and 3rd place teams. Not the same thing as strong. Like T1 and Vitality are strong, but clearly not consistent.
Upsets often include a lot of bad valorant. Like, I guess when tarik is watching a team throw a 2v5, he's hyped by the clutch. But TMV and sliggy are mad at how bad the "good" team is playing. Much prefer this era.
(dammit my sarcasm never works blaaaahhh)
Hmm, 🤔 it's almost like teams improving means they're less likely to get caught off guard. Man, doesn't it just suck that this tournament has such insanely high quality teams? 😒
I'm not sure you can hope for much better than nongshim (g2 doesn't count). I'll be surprised if we ever see an ascension team win any tier 1 tournament in their first year.
Sometimes I wonder if people are actually posting the exact same message or if it's just a bug with vlr.
I mean, it has to be said...
NAVI ardiis
Please no, true stretch is an aesthetic abomination. And if all pros feel like they have to play it, viewers inevitably have to watch it sometimes. Keep it out, it does not need to be part of the game.
I'm not gonna be a dick about it. As long as you know why it's sorta bad, it's whatever. Worlds not gonna end just cause of an esport tourney.
-7, he knew
At a glance, this title was "ban women"
Was ready for some awful gc/ewc drama
Wait wait, so if I'm playing ascent tree Def, I can iPad place a wall origin in mid/market, then curve the wall to block b main, or even almost to boathouse? How do I see where my wall is showing up while curving, just minimap?
Actually that does sound kinda cool. Semi global util would be a massive harbor buff without being op or changing the agent completely.
Wait, are stars purely engagement and not up vote rate?
Multiple things are true at one:
This is the meta right now, and that's fine. I'd prefer if Toronto kept current tejo stuff, then nerf after. OP metas are still fun for a while.
Lol I should just put bait instead of a real title, then people would actually look at these
So, Sova can still get 3 darts in a round, but only if he buys them all. The cool down doesn't change. First charge is always free.
Would require general rebalancing, but the goal is for players to regularly have less util (or a worse gun) because they couldn't afford it.
Swift play only, maybe once a month. Ive never played ranked seriously. Just enough to enjoy both swiftplay and the sport.
"a" goat, yes, but not THE goat coach
True genius, we know not the wonders from which these ideas flow

It's not bad but I missed week 5. I missed pacific kickoff entirely (tho my pacific Pickem was terrible so Im not sharing it lol.)
I keep missing the time to make Pickems for like one week and it ruins the whole thing. Does vlr have a notification system for it? (I'm guessing not). Does someone know a discord server that pings reliably?
Agree. On principle, top leadership is always responsible for all failures. But in this case, there's plenty of "top leaders" within emea that ought to be responsible.
we're still tech paused? same issue for weeks of league play? yea, signed, feels bad man. someone's not doing their job.
Higher refresh rate is nicer in literally everything, not just games. Like scroll a web page, your eyes can track the moving text much better.
Probably the 180 hz, larger sizes are overrated.
Also if it's 1080@27 inch, that pixel density is really low, you'll be able to see the pixels from a shorter distance away.
You might think sliggy/chat is boring, but after 2 years of TMV, it's preferable.
is furia just a lotus merchant?
wait, is this that m4? ok nevermind.
0/8
No way bro goes from "how to sound smart" to starting a reply with "strawman argument"
The style dynamics alone may not provide much insight directly in pro play, but it's a powerful starting point for higher Val theory.
The proof is in the flashless Lotus comp that became the default in 2023. If there's a clever way to approach an cringe Yoru, Tejo, Deadlock, Vyse comp, it's a reasonable bet that Anderzz can find it.
A player can ignore their abilities
Now I wonder if this is bait. I won't even respond to that.
And as for all the logical fallacies... Do you think Val teams have the luxury of being able to logically deduce how good a player or coach is? Do you think any team has come even close to what an engine could come up with? We're not working with much info here, you have to guess and go on scraps of possibility.
Anderzz goated agent subclass theory, which predicted clove, deadlock and iso, and still holds up.
crazy no one picked him up, w for g2
Honestly it's not that big of a deal to watch this in some form, as long as you know, and you don't share it, hype it, watch it live, etc. I don't really fault the participating teams or talent either, gotta make money somehow. If the Saudis want to give away lots of their oil money to esports orgs, let them.
Just don't recognize it as real sports/esports.
EWC is funded by the Saudi regime. The Saudi govt restricts women's rights, LGBT rights, freedom of speech, etc. They're trying to buy most of global sports with their oil money, because everybody loves sports, right? Aka, sportswashing.
Make sure you don't just have like a language/hearing disability. I have a slight issue decerning actual words from speech I can clearly hear, which is almost never noticeable. But it makes most rap (and really a lot of music) just gibberish. I only realized because I heard doechii and I like it because I can actually tell what she's saying.
