consider the worst-case scenario for the tier-2 scene next year: i.e. no promotion, no wildcard, no way to get to lans
would large prizepool i.e. 500k+ third-party tournaments keep the scene alive?
this is in response to a now-deleted tweet about a 150k tournament for the VRL winners this split https://twitter.com/valleague_dach/status/1524405882351763463
Fnatic G0-2
ez clap
called this shit
the clout matchup
battle of the teams on their redemption arc
I give it to TSM, 2-1
TGRD 2-1
dont forget about the online trent
i fucking cursed it
the mechanical ability of Vitality is insane
h1ber and cender just solo carry rounds
dude you are literally a divine benediction
all your posts are comedy gold
raze is so much more fun to play than jett
it's like tf rocket jumping but more boring
neon is the most fun duelist though
yeah this is true
but they also have had a lot more time to spend learning the game.
I'd argue Pansy Hypoc or Bren Sideshow are up there with the likes of Spunj and Machine
with players like boncold baddyG and h1ber they should not be losing this hard to beGenius
really feels unrehearsed rn
he's so fun, I always watch them for EMEA games.
and it's a good way to practice my spanish
i need tsm to make it to semis
lose to C9 in the uppers
then sentinels in the lowers
doesn't Vitality have more fans than Mandatory
rip bozo
i didn't expect much but i at least wanted to see ballsy plays
mf shriveled up and shat himself
yeah just look at skadoodle
major winner in cs
3 masters and a champs trophy in valorant
proof that cs > valorant
us food is cheeks but mexican food hits different > eu food
Spanish and Italian food does still slap though. greece has bangers too
investing it generally
also most non-t1 players are often in uni / secondary education so they'd probably be able to return to that and get a job that way if things don't work out
being the weakest link on one of the strongest teams is not bad
LEVIATAN is great
looks like a beyblade top

way outta pocket
100% Fnatic v G2 is either the opener or the last game
group A is actually just viewerbait
every match about to go so hard
Fnatic FPX
Fnatic G2
Fnatic Acend
American crowds are active sometimes too
college events tend to be more active though
i honestly believe that age doesn't play much of a role in the mechanical potential of players
it's probably just them not having the time or the motivation to put hours that they did when they were 18 into the game
i agree that it's generally good to make a team that has a variety of proven and experienced talent with upcoming players
this is most likely how the franchised league will work, too. they're probably just getting used to the format for next year
keria!?
support diff
with an ideal franchising system, while smaller orgs may not be represented, the lesser-known but skilled players would definitely be picked up by franchise orgs.
they have a vested interest to be the best, after all.
I do agree that it results in a lack of straight-outta-nowhere underdog runs, but there will still be unknown players like Trent, making deep runs and somewhat of an underdog run in their own right!
Sentinels in your example would 100% remain in the franchise. However, if they perform worse they have not only the financial backing of the franchise created revenue but also the benefit of being a franchise org to pick up better players. I.e. the situation where they weren't able to acquire a coach due to finances would likely not happen in a franchise system.
It all depends on how it's set up. I will miss the T1-T2 matchups, though, and I hope Riot has put in serious thought into ensuring T2 doesn't die as it has in countless games so far. Ideally, there would be a wildcard spot in the league itself, or at least to international competition.
also, i don't think your opinion is unpopular at all. it's absolutely normal and a valid concern.
