God vo0kashu in EMEA I'm creaming in my jorts just thinking about it

Bruh how we rating FNC 3rd and MIBR 4th

NRG, TH, DRX and GX looked way better imo

Win EMEA only to end up as the only team to get grouped

I forgor

Team Heretics Sunset 7-0 (Ended by EDG at Champions Seoul 2024)

Nocturnum mogs icl

I'm kinda struggling on which team to root for tbh, I used to be a bit of a GX hater cuz I thought they were boring but they've really grown on me, but at the same time XLG are China's last hope and I fuckin love NoMan (goat of Wales)

As absolutely fraudulent as T1 are...

It'd be REALLY funny

All time it's probably Amen by Bring Me the Horizon but rn it's Raining Blood by Slayer

I mean the 2 most glaring issues with SEN this year were a lack of midround adjustments and being too scared to take risks/be aggressive besides zekken

So imo they should get an initiator known for good midrounding and an aggro controller in order to actually properly try and replace TenZ and Sacy 1 to 1

OR transition N4RRATE to playing Omen on more maps and then replace bang with like Rossy or C0M or someone who can try and bring the Sacy effect

Kaplan convinced his ahh that they grew at all this year despite having the exact same issues since Kickoff

https://youtu.be/biimtdyZB9c?si=tz47y4YJsLKP2sGP

Zellsis also called themselves a young team despite bang, zekken and Zellsis having attended events since before franchising as if they're inexperienced

Just worse than every team in their group along with one of the worst map pools in the tourney

Bro's gonna be mad disappointed when they inevitably keep Zellsis

EG actually have a chance to make a decent team

Timotino duelist
Asuna flex
Derrek initiator
zander controller IGL
yay sentinel

Who says no?

Nah bro

Cloud jail for fuckin ages, at the start of the year got stuck with fuckin tomassy, p0rp0 and runneR

runneR? What is bro running from? The dementia? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA

They look absolutely fuckin ass even with a superstar rookie in westside

Then halfway through the season they partially rebuild bringing in Flickless who's been bouncing around T2 for ages and a young duelist in ara, as well as grubinho who had an insane debut year despite being on a bad team but then having a bit of a nightmare on KOI for the first half of the year, then after the rebuild they go on an insane run to win Champs with no one believing in them to do anything?

Cinema

Yh cuz XLG are gonna shove them in a locker

Sociablee was an igl in T2 before he went to BBL

I was incredibly sad BBL didn't make it and thought they probably deserved to be there more than GX cuz of their performance through the whole year

I see now that that was absolutely retarded

I was not familiar with your game GX

Damn, we never got m4 on the vlr podcast, truly sad times

That knife looks diabolical

I've done it once before and it worked out

The laws of gambling addiction dictate that I'm on a roll and should once again put the mortgage all on red

If GX beat PRX I'll make a femboy OnlyFans

And EMEA and Pacific are tied for best performance, going 3-1 in opening games

Americas is next going 2-2

China went 0-4 which is a really disappointing step backwards for the region after it looked like they were starting to be truly competitive on the global stage

Leo's presence on the bench was simply absorbing Boaster's latent power

Now that Leo is officially retired Boaster has taken the spirit of Leo inside him and has been unleashed upon the world

There is no mixup, unc still got it

Wo0t Iso

Not even TH on the whole, just Wo0t on his own

0/8

whzy is going to whimsy diff unfortunately

o7 MIBR

Devil May Cry 3

What is the appeal of the genre in terms of actual listenability? Like I stg every fan of black metal just likes it for "the vibe" like you can't convince me people actually genuinely enjoy listening to some guy plucking the same 3 guitar strings in as obnoxious a manner as possible with 50 layers of distortion over it whilst blaring industrial metal shredder noises over some sweaty guy incomprehensibly mumble screaming about how much he hates gay people and how much he wants to fuck his kid sister

I'd say I'm generally a big fan of metal, thrash and nu-metal in particular, but I just don't get why people like black metal so much

This was the last time I properly put my emotions into words

But the French are fine for you to associate with?

Every time he sees an EMEA player he gets flashbacks to 2023 Tokyo Alfajer and Leo and pees just a little bit

Ngl I think G2's biggest issue on the international stage is just how out of sync they seem with Jawgemo

He's been incredibly hit or miss against good teams and I mainly think it's because of how passive the rest of the team is

Whenever leaf is on a lurk it just feels like Jawg gets thrown to the wolv-

Yeah he's Scottish

Hey I didn't drop out of doing my film and English degree for nothing

Taxi Driver

Snatch
Salo

In that order without breaks

I'd personally go kaajak and Wo0t over Derke and Chronicle based on current form (tho they're both obviously way better long term)

TH coaching staff is British for a reason, their the kings of stealing comps from other teams to get ahead

Proper Brexit geezer coaching if I do say so myself

Make it past DRG before u start talking shit lil bro

Decrepit orange man and his cult of trailer park high school dropouts just solo'd your whole country ion wanna hear it lil bro

Only baiters thought it counted as a real trophy

Very doable

T1 are a scrappy muddy team

TH are experts of bailing themselves out of the mud

Sauced up Turkish teenager decided he wanted to win

I NEVER DOUBTED!
