US has lower average IQ than UK

marteen wasn't bad last season and apparently he is a scrim demon. Even n4rrate said how Marteen could become best duelist in the world if he played like in scrims (after joining SEN)

its nice

Yeah. Like sure she faces a lot of transphobia and obviously no one should be hated for anything even if they are overhyped, but I've seen countless people calling her tier 1 level while she hasn't even competed in proper tier 2 yet. While some even go as far as calling teams and players transphobic/misogynist because they haven't given her any chances.

Like I'm not hating on her, but IMO she is really overrated by some, outside of GC.

Obviously some of the hate comes from transphobia, but I also think its partly because of how much overhyping she also gets. There's people who unironically call her same level as top VCT duelists for dominating in GC that is equilevant to tier 3 on highest.

I think KC wont play with full roster but mix new and old I would imagine

KOI 2-0 KC

I dont know, no shit fest when there's only one pronoun for everyone and no need to think what someone might identify as. This whole He/She/They thing feels so dumb as non-native English speaker and I often just call everyone He accidentally.

beta languages have gender pronouns, alpha languages have gender neutral pronoun

Yep. Like pretty understandable why some could be confused on this and might think there's some rule change or something. Ofc transphobia is transphobia, but genuinely asking shouldn't be considered transphobia imo.

Sayonara is only playing in offseason. Only Kaajak is joining full roster.

Yep, but tbf I think there's many orgs who want to do the same and reminds to be seen can Fnatic manage to keep him

Sayonara future goat. Orgs will be fighting to nail and tooth once he turns 18

Nothing new, but I've listened quite a lot of Frank Ocean - Pink Matter past week or so and its IMO his best but he has other great songs obviously

We will see. KOI started to look good at end of Split 2 and both Grubinho and Sheydos were performing well. Reminds to be seen how Filu plays in tier 1 level, but I think he is pretty good replacement for Kamo with similar potential. I'm not highest on Soulcas, but I don't think he is terrible. And I don't know much about Flyuh, but seems that players(EU) and even some coaches like him so he must bring something.

Collar jerseys are nice, good that they seem to be relatively common nowadays

Not sure about pros but in ranked Vyse pretty ass. Ult relatively low range and kind of useless. Wall relatively easy to bait, mollies good and flash is good on defense and good because you can move it and use pretty often but on attack is pretty shit outside of quick info unless your teams coordination is good. Overall good at holding sites on defense but on attack its pretty bad compared to rest of the sentinel. Even Deadlock post plant is pretty strong while Vyse's really isn't IMO.

10 man teams are dogshit. This used to happen in the Overwatch League and most of them ended up being dumpster fires. It just doesn't work most of times.

This. He is good, but way too early to tell how he and his team end up performing. Remember when Keiko went 37-16 in his first VCT game, but ended up performing pretty weak for rest of season like Liquid as a team. Performing well in random off-season event with newly established teams doesn't instantly mean they will keep performing in long run. Jawgemo in the other hand has been proven as good duelist in tier 1.

Damn really nice Vandal and insane melee
might actually have to buy skin if you can buy individual

"Pavlos can't pronounce a single IGN" like if any of them could. Literally all of them pronounce them mostly wrong unless its English word or otherwise simple name with clear pronounciation. I have never heard any of them pronounce Jamppi or Derke right for example. Their pronounciation of Derke sounds like Dörkä or smth in Finnish for example.

EMEA teams looking good on paper, but many unknowns because its always hard to know how tier 2 players will perform in VCT and if some players find their forms again.

KC is good example because marteen is apparently scrim monster and looked good last season, but not absolutely like top duelist all the time. Suygetsu's peaks are really really high but last season he didn't look that good on a struggling team, also new role. Avez has looked good in tier 2, but again new to tier 1. Elite and Saadhak should be good like expected.

And then you have teams like GiantX with Cloud and purp0 who were good but on struggling team. And both Tomaszy and runneR who didn't have the best seasons and had to do role swaps but both were promising in tier 2 so maybe they will activate with more experience? Who knows. Westside again new to tier 2.

Team Heretics, Fnatic and Team Vitality should be good, because TH still the same, Fnatic only changed one player and Kajaak should do well on this team, but I also expected Keiko to do well but well what happened... And Vitality just has such stacked roster. FUT also only replaced cNed with Xeus who could become upgrade with more flexibility and FUT were already doing pretty well.

Overall anyone from GiantX, KOI, Team Liquid, GentleMates, BBL, NAVI could do well but reminds to be seen with bunch of tier 2 talent mixed with last season's VCT players from guys performing well to guys who maybe underperformed and didn't play to their potential. Some will just fail and some could become the next Team Heretics. Team Heretics, FNATIC, Team Vitality, KC and FUT should do pretty well .I only see Apeks being like bottom team with lower potential, obviously there will be teams joining them but its hard to tell right now.

nope

Kinda doubt it because like many have mentioned Nismo likely wouldn't leave NA, but who knows... weird pickup if true. But I guess he could play for 1 year contract.

Good tier 2 roster and going to be nice to see them in RedBull qualifier. Not a pushover team by any means.

This Vitality is so much better than that NRG on paper.
Demon1 had only played like 1 season in tier 1 before joining NRG (for example Derke has way more experience and is proven consistency), crashies was already getting washed, Victor has always been really inconsistent player and usually performs to mid level, s0m is good and Ethan is good but not like absolutely best.

yetujey would own both EG and C9

I haven't played much of League and I'm extremely bad, but yes very hard. Its different to FPS mechanics, but even doing basic combos is hard for noob like me and these guys do crazy stuff and need to understand cooldowns, buffs etc. Like pressing keys on exact right order while also using mouse to click for moving and skillshots and look around map. On top of that you need to have insane knowledge of your position at all time and IMO its way harder to miss step on moba. And MOBAs are way more punishing if you make mistakes because it can snowball really badly.

Also Faker is only like 28 year old. And usually players having higher average age just shows how good you need to be able to compete at top. For example CS is so much more mastered combined with mechanics and that's why the average age is bit higher among pros. Valorant isn't as mastered or difficult and is newer so there's way more younger pros coming up all the time.

holy shit T1

not only that but got owned by some random shitty Korean team

has nothing to do with quality of opening ceremony

Yep but IMO 2019 Paris is still the best. Maybe bit biased because it had G2, but that was something different.

what pants are s0m and nrg wearing?

Not really unless you have good headshape and hairline for it. Ofc its easier to take care off because you don't need anything and fast to dry and doesn't get in way, but you need to cut it regularly otherwise it will look like shit fast. And growing lenght from buzz is really annoying and you know it will take long time. On top of that you can't do anything with it like style it differently so if it looks like shit on you then its gg for next few months

Darling, I - Take Your Mask Off and Tomorrow only songs I added to playlist, rest are bit meh
I guess St. Chroma is decent but I dont like first half of song

Sayonara is 16

Kaajak Leo chronicle boaster Alfajer
sayonara for off season events in place of leo

hopoefully he comes back to EU eventuallky

cMen

Sayonara will be insane once he turns 18 (he is already, but imagine after 2 years)

Yeah with people its fun, but like myself I mostly played solo outside of joining discords to play raids sometimes. And like I added the game is so dependent on having people to play with. Raids are impossible solo and dungeons and even some exotic quests are really hard solo. Also I always struggle getting myself to play with randoms, because often you need decent communication and one guy can fuck up whole encounters, and can take long to finish raids etc.

Destiny 2 is great, but haven't played it in few months (800hours on PC). Part of me would want to get back to it, but there really isn't much to be excited of IMO. Got rid of yearly expansions, so there's nothing to look forward to or good time to come back because I'm not a fan of the episode model. Also considering that feels like they are just firing people and the playerbase feels like constantly going down it feels like a dying game and without expansions it doesn't have chances to go upward trending. Feels bit pointless even if I really like the game and universe.

also so much is locked behind if you are a solo player and not that into joining clans and playing raids and dungeons with randoms

Rather eat bland than shit diarhea all day long

IS GOOOD

Only issue is that I doubt the player can be European. LoL is so huge in Korea that it has also helped a lot to make him the guy he is and he has been really relevant for Chinese as well, because of how close LPL and LCK are. In Valorant the player would have to be from NA or maybe China most likely. I doubt EU player could make their name as Faker of Valorant no matter how good they were. In CS its possible because EU is the biggest region.

holy shit haha

insane

Maybe, but BBL has only been together for like a week compared to BFC who are proper team rn. But guy like Comeback > Lewn.

Curious and I don't know do you have experience, but what do you learn in 1 month in Turkish military service? That's barely time to learn how to shoot a gun in simple setting and how to clean it. Here we start properly learning basic fireteam/squad movement after like 6 weeks. Let alone all specialization for your own role.

Cypher
Astra
Harbor
Jett
Gekko

but could also be like Neon, Sova instead of Jett/Gekko maybe, and ofc KJ could replace Cypher
