Depends on the perspective that it's appraoched from -

Video games are a form of media. Movies with lower and higher budgets are still (or at least should b) judged with the same criteria and rigor, and the same applies to video games.

However, if it's from a condescending perspective, that puts down not only the game for no reason other than being of a lower budget in conjunction with criticizing those who like the game it's definitely leaning toward economic discrimination or classism.

amogus caster moment

they're equally matched!

Fnatic right now are looking pretty incredible. Combine that with the historically improved performance on LAN and they're definitely in contention for 1st place.

I'm still split between them and Gambit for the best EMEA team, though. Gambit always feels so incredibly disciplined and prepped that I can't really imagine them ever getting 2-0d when they're in form.

DERKE DIFF

I hope they do match up at some point. I need revenge for Iceland (only lost by like 6 rounds there COPIUM)

called it

Pepega Clap -> PogChamp

I should've worded it better. There's only one promotion tournament with all the first place teams of each VRL (eg. 1 FR, 1 ES, 1 DE, etc.) AND SMB + BIG.

The top 2 of the same tournament advance to the Challengers 2 group season (with the other 10 teams of Challengers 1) to try and qualify for Masters 2.

VRL top 1 -> Promotion Tournament w/ SMB and BIG

Top 2 Promotion Tournament -> Challengers 2

G2 have looked better now that their roster isn't in constant flux, but I'd still give it to Liquid easily.

They've been together for ages and have insane fundamentals. However, they still do seem to almost overthink things and tunnel-vision on specific tactics rather than their overarching strategy at times. But, I don't think that'd happen against G2.

There is a massive difference between raising awareness and implying the mods only care about certain issues.

It's even more egregious because it's been worded in a way that makes it seem as if they're racist.

I'm not trying to "fix" you. I'm just pointing out the fact that deciding that "vlr.gg" hates you, when many are likely indifferent, then insulting the rest of the site is the exact reason many otherwise indifferent users choose to be dickheads.

I'm not denying the fact that there are numerous amounts of douchebags on this site. That's easily evident.

site needs a report button

easily a finals-tier match

tenz? BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

better team play
better reads
better individual skill
better util

how does a team win against them

cringe post give them some time

never a good idea to assume someone is "racist" with literally 0 evidence

so true

it's wednesday

JohnOlsen and PTC could be in early champs form and FS would still win IMO. Would be a lot closer, though.

Their util usage, team play, and midround is miles ahead of the majority of SEA teams, and VLT is no exception.

no shot

I wonder why people wonder why there's so much negativity towards the region when posts that antagonize the entire non-SA vlr.gg population exist

NAOS have solid executes and retakes. They're fast and effective

What? I think his historical performance, which has mostly been outstanding excepting recent international events (and he performed great there too, at times), is enough to warrant his position on the team.

I don't get where the sentiment that he is out of place on the team is coming from. It has never felt as if there were chemistry issues with either of the Sentinels rosters - their fundamentals have always looked from about decent to incredibly strong.

The fact is, there aren't that many Jett players who've performed as well as TenZ, and those who've performed even better than him are even rarer. And, I heavily doubt anyone with that level of displayed skill would ever be in jeopardy due to their ability.

Thank you for the advice. I've finally realized my true calling - I can finally leave my uneventful life behind for something truly meaningful.

I've booked a flight to Sydney to fist fight Satan.
