I may bet on losing dogs but I don't lose arguments
you're focussing too much on ascension and T1 instead of seeing T2 as it's own ecosystem
the only way for T2 to thrive is for it to attract viewers, because that's what makes orgs money, and players, who need financial support to see playing valorant as a viable career
more viewership means more orgs wich means more players who in turn creates more competition
also, most of the academy teams so far are just... not amazing? they're mostly consisting of 1 or 2 young prospects who see a chance at playing in T1 eventually but can't right now and mid experienced players who want job security in the end of their careers
for a lot of players, a shot at ascension is still more valuable than the security of an academy roster
personally I think players getting better pay and orgs getting more viewership is a net positive for T2, but go off I guess
they accept that orgs have these sponsors, but they can't show these sponsorships in vct tournaments
also riot themselves aren't taking these sponsorships for official tournaments
said the american
having gambling money and gambling addicts helps
ship of theseus type of problem
but if you close your eyes, doesn't it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
"team A won against team B who won against team C, which means team A will win against team C" is awful analysis and anyone pedaling it should stop
they're looking better each game and most people put them as a team that still have room to grow, they'll be fine
if you expand beyond official games, yes

I miss my wife tails
i miss her a lot
I'll be back
you have too much faith in loud and lev
... do you know what the word "could" means?
cortezia on sunset top fragged while having 70% hs, just insane
your first mistake was taking platchat seriously
socialize with actual people and be normal instead of posting "how do I get a hot gamer girlfriend" on vlr
they just hate both trans people and cis women, it's easier to just ignore them
are you blind? there's so many comments lumping jelly as a "man taking women's place" because she's trans
like fuck srn but let's not pretend like a lot of their haters aren't just using them as a excuse to shit on trans and nb people
it's impressive how blinded people get from hate cause that was one of the worst games I've seen liquid play since their lost to g2 in the first championship
I'm not as well versed on the specifics of the drama, but I'll try to give a straight answer:
on the one hand, some of the hate comes from some videos that surfaced of srn being misogynistic in game before playing in GC, but I don't exactly remember exactly what they said in those videos. This is the main one especially after it was propagated by some of team liquid players
there's also the fact that they tend to be kind toxic in game, so a lot of people take issue with the idea of someone "pretending" to be non binary to play on GC and be shitty to the women playing
ON THE OTHER HAND a lot of the hate they received comes from people who couldn't care less about GC and just want a excuse to be transphobic and say that "man pretend to be women to dominate GC", wich is also kind of misogynistic because it implies women are naturally worse at videogames and ignores the social and cultural barriers that created GC in the first place
TD;DR: it's a mess
nothing worse than losing a grand final at home, NT o7
apeks was supposed to lose for the funny but PCIFIC didn't get the memo
minors also have a lot of extra bureaucracy for getting visas and for living in another country, it makes sense that riot prefers to avoid dealing with it
from getting 13-0 at first strike to finally getting redemption let's go
doubt they'll make any international but they could hold their own in americas and probably make playoffs
2-0 would guarantee qualification
they could still qualifed with 2-1, but it could get weird
it can't be h2h, it would be map diff
if tsm win it would be a 4-way tie between gal, tsm, reta and ak, possible 5-way with 2g
wait no I forgot about reta lol sorry
it's not going to h2h regardless, so they would need to win 2-0
he's not even the best igl in his team tf
Mickey's a nickname, nicknames are for friends and Michael Mouse is no friend of mine
overall: Americas (furia and mibr suck but the rest are decent to great teams)
top 5 teams: Pacific (besides kru and lev, Americas just doesn't have a consistent top 5 like pacific)
they qualified, drx didn't
"deserves to be on a LAN" is a stupid argument
luck is a bigger part of the game than people realize
the fact that there's a world where neither sen nrg or loud make it to playoffs is kinda insane
