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.
If support was allowed to let you back into your account, hackers and cheaters would abuse the hell out of that.
Just don't get hacked. Be glad it happened to your val account and not your email or bank.
This happens to someone on every thread about foresaken
The "who needs smokes when you can just kill everyone" comp.

Why formerly doombros tho?
Is it just me, or is the problem that we've never had a tournament so stacked before? Every team (except trace) has at least one player that feels like they deserve top 10, usually 2 or even 3. Normally, there's 2-3 kinda shit teams with maybe 1 good player. This might be the first tournament with only 1 team that feels irrelevant.
bren is braindead
Do you have any idea how many of Bren's unhinged rants were full of startlingly accurate predictions?
Kickoff last year had 11 teams, and had this awkward, unequal sized group stage. Plus, EG got a bye for winning champs, but the team was all new and pretty bad, that feels lame. This year, all the teams that got a bye are at least okay.
Not even a Sen flair, that's wild
That was hysterical, I'm expecting a prim and proper survey and the first question is a screenshot of "PUSH YOU FAT FUCKS", God that's hilarious, I died.
A major difference between high-level ranked in Val vs CS is that Val has almost no cheaters. There's no separate FACEIT, you just queue ranked, and that's it. There's at least one pro (tier 1 or 2) in almost every ranked game Eggsterr plays.
There's also still an enormous lack of good training/practice for pretty much all esports, and playing thousands of hours of ranked against legitimately good players helps a ton with that.
That said, the top tier 1 teams know how to play against the aggressive style, which is to match the aggression. They'll go fast, then back to slow, and Rankers will have to start guessing and not have the util to keep up with the slower rounds.
Reasonable take, I'm getting convinced
Difference between Saudi Govt and Saudi citizens. Your crown Prince assassinated and dismembered a journalist. I don't know anything about Saudi citizens, though.
Saudis are trying to invest their oil money before it runs out. Buying all of sports is a good option because everyone likes sports. But it doesn't make the Saudis okay.
Someday, aspas will be on an actual superteam again, and then god help everyone else.
It'd be interesting to run these longer, like 24 hours each, in the time between all kickoff finishing and Bangkok starting
eh, TH losing to G2 feels fine, rematch would still be 50-50. Losing to Sen is an upset tho, and Sen would lose the rematch for sure. All this was during American hours, so bit of bias.
If G2 wins the BO3 with no map advantage, they're def winning the BO5 with a map advantage.
I think he means within this fictional tourney
These would be such good games, but one of these teams will surely throw and not make it this far. Or maybe KRU is just on their run already and are destroying everyone, that would be fine too.
Oh i missed last round. Would have gone TH
