It could totally happen, if they can get their team play vibe down they could be vicious. But unless FNS learns to IGL less 5head and more like the aggressive style that's becoming meta, it'll peak early in the year.
Coming from valve/cs, I just don't get this.
I stopped trying to eat tasty food for every meal and eat meal replacement shakes twice a day. The reduced stress and hassle of trying to make good food so often is nuts. I appreciate good food when I have it, I have more time during the day, and it's cheaper and healthier. Unironically life changing.
Good food is not overrated. Eating it for every meal is.
None of things that matter have anything to do with the games themselves. Cs esport is still s tier
Cs has an open modding system tho, and there's so much that Val misses without that.
Engagement comment, gotta make this thread look legit
That is weird. I have 7950x but NOT x3D, with 7900XTX. I get closer to 700 (oh, 1080p low tho). You might benefit from switching off one of the CCDs, so it's forced to either use the extra memory or not at all. I think I did win a bit of the silicon lottery, though. It will do 5.2 GHz stable all 16 core load.
Wait yea, what's the timeline. They're not doing this in time for champs right?
China is the only country that has Western amenities while maintaining strict cultural rules. Everyone will bend over backwards to appease whatever China wants. If that means they get their own closed region and custom game build with a greater say over how it's run, Riot will do it. In the short term, it's bad for the players and the sport. But in the long run, the players will get good, and China will trust Riot and let them run more games and stuff. It would be a lot harder to do later into the sport.
But it happens pretty often in VCT, too. I'd have to look, but I swear its been common in Stage 2 across all regions.
I don't care about who/when/why, players can do what they want. But for Riot, what are they thinking? They don't really enforce it, and it happens all the time lately. I have like a million questions...
Thank you for indulging my sudden questions about my current obsession, have a wonderful day internet denizen
The gap will also probably close somewhat, over the next 20 years, across all esports. Esports is extremely young and unrecognized by normies. Male focus marketing has kept women out of video games from the beginning. Counter-Strike is the only other real tactical FPS, and ain't nobody gonna argue that it wasn't so toxic that women could barely consider playing casually, much less professionally.
And don't discount the insane change in general male/female relations over the last 10 years. Cancel culture was awful, but things overall have gotten way better since GamerGate in 2014 and Weinstein in 2017. It'll take a looong time for those changes to really take effect. The future T1 women are probably like 5 years old right now. Valorant and Riot are generally ahead of the industry. Chess is still extremely male-dominated for no apparent reason.
50/50 split is unlikely (the genders are indeed different), but 25% women in T1 seems possible. Riot is doing good, it'll just take time.
Why do I write on this site, noones gonna read this lol
Fun fact, Ascent has not had meaningful changes (even just boxes) since patch 1.02, June 2020.
ELEVEN IS ALL THEY GET
Just to be clear:
But... on LAN? I feel like the budget to pay for lots of in-person tournaments must not be that big. But regional t1/t2 online might be okay. I guess I'm not picturing how Riot sells this, like, "Hey, come watch the bad teams do bad!" If it's optional, I can't see the bad t1 teams wanting to go.
Are all those played on LAN? It's one thing to play 1 pro match a week from your own house, but another from hotel rooms in LA, Berlin or Seoul for weeks straight, fly home, then fly across the world for international. To make it work like pro sports would be if every team had their own esports arena and they play at home every other week, so basically 2 weeks at home, 3 days out somewhere, back home.
While babysauske is being rude, I think what they mean is that rating players is kinda its own entire industry, separate from watching the game. No one who rates players does so by just watching matches, since you don't even see every player's POV. They look at statistics and a bunch of math. The stats page here on VLR is a good entry to that, but the VLR "rating" stat can also be misleading and not everyone approves of it. This video goes nuts into more complex stats and makes it clear why rating players is hard https://youtu.be/FrLtJSpaSLI
Every one of the players you mentioned is good, and honestly probably more fun to watch than other players. But giving them numerical ratings like that seems odd if other people think you're comparing them to calculated ratings. Many of those players are nowhere near the top 10.
All regions have 11 teams this year, it's really hard to build tournaments with 11 teams. Giving 1 team a bye round makes it much more reasonable.
