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

Pepsi Max caffeine free >
I used to prefer normal Coca Cola above all sodas, but nowadays its too sugary tasting. Normal Coca Cola if eating like burgers or pizza (other fastfood style), but Pepsi Max and caffeine free ones maybe best "everyday" type of soda.

true, but doombringer feels pretty good to use

Apeks, because I doubt they can get anyone close to Kaajak and even replacing Soulcas can be pretty tricky. But for rest I don't know. Really hard to tell because even last season's KOI started to look better in the end and they still have Grubinho and Sheydos, and Filu should be pretty good replacement for Kamo(not upgrade, but similar potential). Not sure about Flyuh or Soulcas, but I don't think they are downgrades. Actually hard to predict who out of teams like KOI, GX, TL, BBL, M8 or some other end up performing the weakest.

Nice! He didn't have that great of a season, but he is still young and even had to switch roles. Both tomaszy and runneR have a good shot at redeeming themselves here. Exciting roster and IMO really cool team. Also they are well set if double duelist comes back with purp0 + runneR/tomaszy(likely smokes).

whole video is about his tactical mind but he isnt even the igl
obviously anyone can call when needed, but pretty interesting and wonder was that the reason they originally decided to go with him

Can't wait to see Sayonara and Kaajak on off-season. Hopefully Leo is ready next season though.

Whole point was to showcase all of the VCT teams and without single elim it would have taken forever. And tbf the finals was between the 2 best teams at the tournament and the best won it.

2 aren't like the rest

nice to see those maps coming back (pearl in pro play sucks) but tbf Breeze and Abyss should be perma removed from the game.

Really happy to see him make it to VCT. Well deserved

His latest team was GoNext (team with Zeek) who made it to Ascension event. He has constantly been putting up great stats and was like MVP of East league in tier 2 and many would argue he was the best or 2nd best controller in EMEA tier 2.

Ardiis

Of course he isn't, but he was pretty much the best/2nd best CSGO player for like 5 years in a row and was around top 5 for 2 years before that. While like you said not accomplishing as much with his teams. Guy like dev1ce has been top rated for long as well, but he was also on Astralis who used to dominate. Faker is in league of his own, but in many ways s1mple has been "the Faker of FPS" or at least the closest to that title. Both are some of the most known and respected players in esport.

but what i'm saying is that s1mple could have just kept playing and keeping up his legacy as a goated player, but instead just decided to throw it all out because he didn't like cs2, becoming almost irrelevant as a current player. Also to point that s1mple was still really good individual in 2023, and he could have easily kept performing on top level for years to come and potentially win titles. While Faker still plays, wins and adapts while arguably not being at his peak anymore.

Yeah tbf its bit hard for Ukrainian players right now, but my point is that he could have still played on top level on a good team (even if out of NaVi). But instead he decided to do some personal demostration on how shit CS2 is and decided to just quit.

S1mple was the goat of CS and FPS games, could have been Faker 2.0 (at least for fps), but instead decided to throw it all because he didn't like CS2 and now he is bit washed. Faker in other hand is still competing in top level even if he isn't the absolutely best individual anymore, but his teams are still doing really well and he stays humble and grinds the game. Kinda sad that S1mple mental is so shit.

k-market clears

I mean that literally is toxicity in some cases. Its like seeing a fat guy and then saying "eat salad and go to gym fatty" to them. Might be partly true, but it maybe isn't the best or optimal approach. People like to cheer for people who are "real" like how everyone mentions it when talking about Sayf, but if you being "real" means you are being a dick when things aren't going your way then well that isn't a very good trait to have. Some people are fine with it, but some aren't and it can completely ruin mental of the team. Same as why s1mple was always seen as a toxic player even if he was insane individually.

don't know how sayf is obviously

Yeah Sociablee has been playing for long but haven't watched him for some time. And only thing I've seen from Lewn is him playing ranked with Jamppi and its clear that his mechanics are really good, but not sure about pro play.

Actually not bad. There are definitely questions like hows Jamppi's IGLing, how will Lewn perform in tier 2 and I haven't really watched Sociablee. But genuinely Profek looked like best or 2nd best controller in tier 2 EMEA, Chiwa has been playing since forever and has always been one of best tier 2 sentinels, Jamppi has the experience and is solid flexible player, and I'm not too sure of Lewn and Sociablee but there must be reason of why they (especially Lewn) was picked.
I don't expect them to do giga well, but definitely a team that could do something (like most of emea next year)

G2 got so unlucky when it came to the draws. Like comparing G2 and FlyQuest is crazy. G2 vs HLE, Weibo, T1, BLG - while FlyQuest qualify by beating wildcards and TL. Just shows how shitty the system was.

No one comes even close, but I doubt there ever will be one and most games don't have one. Caedral is such a rare case. Tarik is the closest when it comes to viewership (compared to main broadcasts) but he is still so far away when it comes to understanding and insight of the game and teams/players.

preaking pad

Better Call Saul (breaking pad related)

not in VCT next year, but Sayonara when he turns 18
wo0t 2.0 pretty much

I don't think they will make every event or even make it super far in EMEA, but Gentle Mates. I think they will do well even with roster full of unproven talent.

.

me

i mean hans sama completely ruined G2s momentum and BLG took massive advantage of that

maybe its time for Turks to learn English

Let's say more like east + nordic carrying. West is pretty shit. Like Germany, France, UK, Spain, Italy(+Netherlands) all big countries but have produced so little in terms of top talent. UK has some decent like Benjyfishy, Boaster and some other mid t1/t2. East in other hand: Russia, Turkey, Poland, Czech, Lithuania and Nordic mainly few players in Sweden and Finland.
