Sushi Boy: "A male who doesn't use condoms"
-https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Sushi%20Boy

Sushi Boys (X10) fucked Gambit RAW. Not medium rare. Not even rare. Straight up, bloody and FUCKING RAW.

No. most submissive and breedable team. I want, no, I need Patiphan's DNA in me

I bumped deez nuts onto your moms forehead last night

I see

did anyone read the actual post

Damn, did they change the starting rank? I didn't realize it was possible to play in Bronze lobbies on a smurf account!

My king's ign is "Derke" not "derk UHH".

Derke is pronoune-
"my king / my king's"

Example: "Derke is a player for Fnatic esport. My king has the best stats at the group stage"

Please respect my king's pronouns.

~~Interstellar ~~

EDIT: Independence Day. not the greatest thing ever, but it never gets old.

FNATIC DERIC BEST BLAYER IN DA WORLD

CS peak has 2, 748, 434 peak excluding the unreliable Chinese stats, and 18 274 922 including them. The only PC game with a higher peak view count is LoL.

It was a gigabanger final, definitely deserved the views.

I'll never understand what is so attractive about a literal fuckin spray, but if it works I'm not gonna complain LMFAO

Sentinels going for the "superior / omniscient" approach to their social media, where the tone always seems to be removed just doesn't work IMO. If that doesn't make sense, I'm referring to the style of social media posts that Finalmouse uses.

The G2 or C9 social media game is the way to go. It feels human, and therefore is great for getting people's support, whereas Sentinel's PR comes mainly from the players themselves.

That being said, I adore the ~30-60 second bits they do from time to time, like the water bottle sponsorship thing they did a while ago, or the newest video with Daph.

Your points have a lot of merit, those are definitely major consequences that could occur.

Maybe, the winner could get a separate, individual skin line where 50% of the profits go only to them. I'm not really sure about the time needed to make a skin, but with the ~ two-month "off-season" after champs, it may be possible to get it out in time before the next Masters event.

A distribution could work too, so long as it isn't connected to the prize pool - that's what messed things up for other tournaments in Dota 2, and more recently Fortnite. I'm not sure how exactly this would work, but with some clever wording and marketing, it should be possible to pull it off.

I'm just against the prize-pool approach, it has too many downsides.

I disagree. SeanGares is a pretty cool title. I could be SeanGares queueK, and you could be SeanGares ciro. It's slightly lengthy, but it rolls off the tongue beautifully.

If Boaster goes for a knife kill and messes up, he will be KRUcified.

I have 0 faith in Wardell and Subroza. They really look like they're only on the team to farm content and views. Levi looks decent.

I'd unironically be more excited for the Academy team than the main one, currently.

I see you've KRUnched the numbers.

What a KRUde comment.

It's a given that people will be under the influence of KRUpium, it's very exhilarating.

I really had to sKRUb my brain to create it.

A sKRUffy match would be the most entertaining.

A KRUel prediction, indeed.

Don't worry, you're not under any sKRUtiny.

I think the reason they chose not to increase the prize pool, is because it invalidates other tournaments. While this also does that, to a lesser extent, it doesn't make Champions the most important tournament for fans, like the TI is for Dota fans.

It does make it the most important event for teams, however.

In addition, the equally shared earnings are much better for teams who come from regions where it's difficult to improve. It disproportionately incentives investment in the regions with the best existing infrastructure, as they should theoretically have the highest chance of making it far, whereas the method RIOT is implementing currently is much better for those in regions without this infrastructure.

I see. Neither team wil KRUise, then. That is also acceptable.

KRU vs Fnatic:

Will they KRUmple? Or will they KRUsh? Only time will tell...

on the same level as the Shazam post

100% sure "freefire org" or "mobile game org" will be spammed lol. They really are massive on social media.

I've never seen a match where he played, but "better operator than Heat" is very high praise. I'm excited to see if his play holds up to this.

yeah FS in general didn't play nearly as well at LAN as they did in the LCQ.

I dunno which tournaments you've been watching, but Heat has fragged out in both of the international LANs he participated in. In fact, I can't really think of a massive individual underperformance by any Brazilian player this group stage. It was a team diff that I think caused the loss.

facts

in Masters 1, Pati was playing many non-duelist agents, like Viper and Sage, but still putting up insane numbers. I think he improved, but the real difference that I saw was his team better setting him up to frag the fuck out of the enemies. Same goes for Sushiboys.

Surprise - Derke. I thought he'd do well, but his group stage performance was ridiculous.

Disappointment - PTC. Did not show up at LAN. His KO performance online was insanely good. I really thought he would carry Full Sense to very close matches.

Fake news. It's Pati's last dance, X10 have no fear. They'll roll Gambit then give Fnatic a good fight, losing in OT in the semis.

It's too early to call NA a minor region IMO. I agree that SEA should be considered a major region after Champs. LATAM, Korea, and Japan should still be in the minor region category, either because of a lack of depth, player base, or international achievements.

Furia's 2022 prospects don't look great with this news. Khalil and Nzr aren't bad, but they aren't star players either.

Weird to see Furia let go of Xand. He looked very good in the group stage.

LOUD should create a great team, they've been rapidly growing recently.

I thought NIP were going to build around Aspas? Did that not work out

this lineup monkaS

Heat plays jett
Mwzera: raze / second duelist (pog)
Sacy: sova probably
Saadhak: viper / sentinel ?

idk about pancada. smokes probably?

This would be a great improvement over the current system. I think that it may have been impossible to do this for this Champions event, as the budget was predecided. I hope this is implemented from the 2022 circuit onwards. IMO, it should be present for Masters events too, if the budget permits it. This event has only displayed how minor regions have improved greatly over just a single year, which I think would not have been possible without their slots to the Masters events.

indeed

SEA has an abundance of talented players and the most varied playstyles in a single region. Valorant solves some of the usual problems that plague other esports, namely: lack of financial support and opportunities to compete against international competition.

I think SEA has a bright future. There aren't many regions with a seemingly endless supply great players. Jingg, Forsaken, PTC, Pati, Sushiboys, Borkum, Dubstep, Crazyguy, JohnOlsen, and many many more. Now it's just on the teams to utilize their talent to the maximum possible.

they took a map off Gambit, for what it's worth.

Gambit is a CIS team
C.I.S.
Sea I.S.
Sea Is Superior = C.I.S.

Sushi Boys, a SEA team will beat Gambit, a C.I.S. team.

QED

lets go, basically.

I will be on fnatic's side this match, but I hope it's close. !Vamos!

megalobox 2 is crazy good

that's a good point. I can't think of any Patiphan-tier Thai player who is a duelist free agent.

X10 might have a lot of money from their merger with Crit, the Brunei org so it may be possible to buy them out.
