That’s a bit sussy

Laptop speakers PogU

But seriously though my headphones kind of snapped recently it was very sad

Tell a friend

I have not been keeping track of what soniqs were up to but weren’t they doing pretty good in t2 events? And why did they drop iyen of all people? I thought he was really good or have things changed

Next masters finals are between version 1 vs bbl, then zellsis says a no no word and gets suspended before final so v1 brings in s1mple to replace him. 3-2 for bbl though since s1mple doesn’t carry hard enough

People seem pretty confident that mibr is making a team and if that’s true immortals has to disband afaik

Yes when will purest get signed :(((((

Nah they said phoenix’s ult was bad these guys have no clue what they are saying

Oh I was talking about hinamatsuri, I have been reading kaguya sama for a long time now lol

it is becoming official, that is what is happening

Chihayafuru
World trigger
Psycho pass(you’ve prob seen this tho)

If all else fails just binge one piece ez

I watched the anime, would you say it is worth to start reading it?

Is there a reason sacy and saadhak have to be on the same team? I would have liked to see saadhak go to nip as sentinel, and mwzera to loud as flex. Idk if VIVO KEYD has the financial power to keep both heat and mwzera on the team, but they could def pick up a cracked young player as initiator for sure.

As someone whose first manga ever was shokugeki, yukihira sucks and there are so many better protags.

Thanks for reminding me I need to watch cowboy bebop lol

hackertyper.net is a great site

The thing is I enjoy watching a lot of teams but I don’t really feel a sense of pride for any of them. I am invested in seeing good matchups and enjoying games but that’s it

I’ve been switching around flairs every few weeks but that has gotten old. What should I change my flair to? Just genuinely curious how you all will respond if at all

Just based off of personal enjoyment
Astra - bonkar aka godkar he may not hit heads but man is he fun
Breach - crws?
Brimstone - delz1k
Cypher - dapr
Jett - heat
Kay/o - ptc
Killjoy - suygetsu
Omen - subroza (back in 2020 when omen was cool)
Phoenix - sick
Raze - keznit
Reyna - scream
Sage - wardell
Skye - stax
Sova - sacy
Viper - nats
Yoru - tenz (yes this happened)

great opper, rifler not so much

Surprisingly I think it’s already been confirmed that onur is leaving, I remember seeing it

Maybe it’s on news almost missed? I could be very mistaken however

Wait I only got a recap about people watching my content not one about stuff I watched

wait lmao i am so stupid i forgot consoles were a thing for a bit lolololol mb

probably smash bros as well. melee for sure but ultimate a bit skeptical. depends if you think mexico or usa is better in ultimate.

idt controllers, duelists etc. are a thing in OW. i think he plays dps agents or am i just wrong?

i feel like brazil and some sea countries also do mobile games so that's a bold claim. i will accept that india is the land of bgmi gods at least.

I knew this was pretty unlikely from the getgo lol but none of them even making top 8 is actually just unfortunate lol. I'm not complaining though, we're getting some epic games.

I am really sorry if my paragraph offended you in any way. Again, I have limited knowledge so I can absolutely be wrong sometimes.

I typed mine out pretty slowly and didn't refresh before posting so I didn't realize you had just made a post talking about a lot of the things I did lol, also I think I am on a literary roll today judging by the other long thread I made.

That is the impression I got, but thank you for confirming it. Also I see you around a lot, so what is the origin of "Son of Oil" while I have you here?

Based on my limited knowledge, I would say it is a financial issue. Since things like healthcare and houses cost ridiculous amounts of money, you need a steady paycheck and insurance. How do you get that playing video games? Get signed!

As an NA player, you need to get signed or get a "real job". This is why there is so much more concern about getting signed in NA, while in EU and some other regions as long as you are earning money from tournaments/your parents support you okay, you can get by. Sadly, the cost of living is prohibitive towards gaming in NA.

Once the NA players get signed, they need to focus on staying on the team and practices. But streaming just gives them a much more stable income for some reason (again since cost of living in NA sucks). So they are much more motivated to stream as opposed to practice for long hours, to earn a cash prize that they aren't even guaranteed to win because of the aforementioned other regions. Again, this is not because of a greed for money but a desire to survive off of Valorant money for the rest of your life.

i know i had more to say but i forgot it so let me just conclude with yeah the system in place sucks for gamers unless they stream a ton, fuck capitalism

i've been following challenger finals and lcqs throughout this year and i will probably continue to do so in the next. the problem is i do this for every region and i may have a problem.

Facts.

Based on what I have seen NA and EU are on polar opposite ends of the copium spectrum.

In terms of their fans, NA fans are very quick to hype up their teams and if they lose they were “saving strats” or “not even trying” or they were actually blindfolded and they were playing with a usb steering wheel and no wait actually their little brother was using the mouse the whole time. And it wasn’t plugged in.

When it comes to EU fans, they will quickly say that EU>>>>>> every other region and refuse to elaborate beyond other regions t2 in cs haha. If their teams lose, well then actually that team wasn’t even a good EU team and actually they are only good online and the real good teams got screwed over by bad format.

BR fans don’t entirely understand how jokes work I think. Unless they came up with the sacy pasta themselves in which case they are very funny. The death threats are just kind of sad now though, and I don’t think the naked pic joke translates well since no one really gets it.

KR fans don’t say anything since they actually don’t exist, but NA and EU fans who overdose on copium scream to the heavens that KR is actually a super underrated region guys they’re going to win the next masters/champions for sure.

I really don’t want to talk about SA fans thanks. And idk enough about LATAM or SEA or OCE fans.

(I am not sure if this thread is off topic or not please let me know)

come on man you're from hltv, how do you not recognize an obvious bait when you see one

Infinity esports are tier one in latam though?

Yeah I mean you can’t possibly hate gambit but the fact is that the cis region isn’t very interested and then in the finals would not get nearly as many views as an underdog story from a Spanish speaking region.

Actually most teams will take all the practice they can get lol. Infinity esports literally scrimmed my college’s valorant team a few months ago, quantity is almost as good as quality sometimes.

Wait but since latam is actually south NA and also Britain used to rule the USA, NA is actually just EU. Which means that EU = trash. 5head

(Don’t take this seriously I am not a big na or Eu fan lol)

no patiphan still needs to go so absolutely insane that sen want to drop tenZ to sign him but they can't. pati will then join an NA team in valorant in 2022 for a ridiculous amount of money, making the gladiators very angry but they can't even touch his godliness. and he will buy two more rolexes than zombs to flex on him as he updrafts into the masters 1 trophy.

mibr looks hype af, like disgustingly good. like that should not even be legal terms of good. but idk how aspas fits with havan's util heavy playstyle. that was something i really enjoyed because it was unique and i would hate to see them let go of it and not develop it further. i hope aspas goes to nip, he could maybe work well with jonn and i trust an org like them to find 3 other very good players. alternatively loud could build around aspas but this seems less likely.

do we know where krain might go? cause he could go to nip or godsent if he leaves and i think he would do well. vivo keyd looks like they may fall out of contention since heat did so much for them (not that the others are bad of course) i just think vk are going to be borderline t2 now, same with vikings.

also do you know anything about belky? i really liked that guy hope he gets a good team.

Liquid vs x10 is the most hype scenario I can see out of who is left tbh, kru would not be bad but no one would watch it assuming liquid would stomp

x10 3-2 c9 HOPIUM

playoffs

if we aren't considering shitty fanbases then:

vivo keyd
x10
t1
gambit

can't think of a 5th so let's say the team skrossi is on cause i may have forgot their name but they were fun to watch at apac

it's about drive it's about power

with vikings, sacy is wholesome but gtn is weirdchamp so it balances out, i personally think team secret, fnatic, gambit

FPSes are kinda booming rn in Japan. If there are any other weebs reading this please correct me but I remember the love is war manga having apex and valorant references in it, which makes me assume that culturally it’s pretty big.

(couldn’t figure out how to spoiler tag but I don’t think this is particularly big)
