the games today are going to be legendary.

Spiders are great because they kill other insects and don't really do much harm other than put their webs everywhere

Every other insect can die, though

They probably ask the streaming websites directly, they've been collecting this data in LoL before escharts existed if I remember correctly.

They could wear masks while playing and censor the comms videos before releasing them

Not that it would really make a difference because the game isn't played at a high enough level for those micro-optimizations to be significant.

The league minimum salary is 50k a month for 5
6 players and a coach = 350k, with an analyst, benefits and support staff that's probably like 750k minimum

20 mil / 16 = 1 250 000 per team

So that's +500 000, maybe take off like 100k for operational expenses so 400 000

With taxes that's probably closer to zero but still it shows it's possible to almost sustain at least 4 (really underpaid) teams per league with just a single bundle every year

Never cook again

Chronicle owns Ethan every minute of every hour of every day of every year until the end of time

I never said that he "didn't" influence it at all just that his influence is likely not enough to make any significant difference.

I can't claim to know how the internals of Riot Games function but from what I've seen other people in similar positions to Leo say in other games - the decisions about money lie almost solely with the executives

Leo Faria almost definitely did not greatly influence this decision.

Blame the corporation not the person.

Gusty Garden Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy)

or the Super Smash Bros Brawl (WII) Theme

Get a cracked Indonesian or Thai ranked player

It's crazy how it's now possible to send stuff to the moon for the cost of like 2 champs bundles

Holy fuck please stop reducing the amount of international games, an 8 team event is just embarrassing.

I understand the sentiment - ramping up stakes for champs but there's surely better ways to do that which do not include downsizing international events.

Honestly, I have no desire to watch Fnatic buttfuck EMEA for another twelve weeks than this year.

A "global esport" necessitates consistent international competition

Houston or the entire state of Mississippi

What if Zombs and Sacy made out on stage live

I think a player like zeek could really benefit from playing in T2 and trying to win ascension

I clicked and şimdi türküm 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

If you're rich SF is probably amazing (I'm broke)

TL

The largest difference between ranked/pug play and official competition is the existence of elaborate teamplay.

There's a big difference in being able to get a 3k as a site anchor in ranked and against a Skye flash + sova scan + double satchel exec - being able to deal with that is the most important mechanically-related skill in professional play.

6+ I suppose, or just tall enough where the angle between your stomach and thighs is like <70 degrees when sitting in an airplane seat with your knees at 90 degrees

(if anybody on vlr.gg aspires to be an airplane designer please raise the seat height by like 6 inches)

Is your ass sore after long flights?

GTA -5000: Ancient Egypt type cheat code

Are these "fnatic fans" in the room with us right now

I doubt that any trained man with a knife can take out a gorilla. Gorillas are pretty fast and ridiculously strong with long ass arms. I don't think the human would be able to get close enough to do damage (unless they kill it near immediately) because the gorilla will literally rip them in half

It would take too long to have bracket reset on top of a bo5.

Tokyo had 1 missing player, Reykjavik had 2 + a whole team

he positions and times everything very well

Me and who

Ngl I don't see it happening with how less has been playing recently

Wait, really? But wasn't he playing on stage against EG

Every single remaining is team is incredibly skilled, there are no subs no illnesses and a good format. Every single region is represented in the top 6.

Honestly, this is definitely my favorite tournament so far.

Lakia 1v2 ascent

wait...

why not pop ults early like ur 1 round away from losing

alecks has super impactful timeouts. He's really good at getting PRX focused.

hopefully, it does because I really want to watch the Fnatic vs PRX rematch with something playing.

i think it's rock paper scissors between Fnatic, LOUD and PRX

yeah this was a great series - both teams played very well!

we could put jinggg on yoru and give him an xbox 360 controller and he'd still look like the best player in the world a few times every map.

27/13 he's cooking

i can't tell when it's PRX on map point. all it takes is something or jingg or forasken feeling it and getting a 4k and then it's over.

that's the dream

PRX play maximum security prison valorant - they've perfected imperfection

insane round

HOLY SHIT

i've always felt that the "controversy" about the crowd at Sao Paulo was undeserved.

in situations with non-standard enemy positions where crosshair placement doesn't matter as much his aim is the best. he might not be as good as KangKang, Aspas, Something, or Derke at holding angles, but nobody has better aim than him after double satcheling or bhopping off a ledge.

we have two biological advantages that brought us never-before-seen levels of prosperity: our ability to think and our ability to run

utilize the only tool you have that separates you from dogs and rats and THINK. really fucking THINK. let your rusty neurons fire and generate THOUGHT and with it, REASON.

he's insane on this map
