just liked the sound of the word, despite its illicit meaning KEKW

Big Ws

Erased (good anime for beginners)
91 Days
Samurai Champloo
Demon Slayer (the new season is a feast for the eyes)
Hunter x Hunter (don't let the cover fool you, it gets DARK later on)
The Disastrous Life of Saiki. K
Code Geass (one of my all-time favourites)
Shakugan no Shana (lowkey a good anime, but it has a bit of filler, and the pacing is a bit messy, still enjoyable though)
Dororo

derke is half russian, half finnish

Russian Sovas are built different.

Chronicle, Shao, BraveAF, Jady, 1ndra, Cloud

It's the new VCT hud, not just EMEA

RAINMAKER deadlift

RAINMAKER looks great tho.

Optic 2-0

Rise look very shaky rn, and I think El Diablo and co. are going to have a strong start.

Duelist:
XSET Zekken
GRD Sayaplayer

Initiator:
GRD Trent
100T Ethan

Sentinel:
V1 Wippie
NV FNS

Controller:
GRD valyn
NV Marved

I remember when TenZ used to play Viper, back when she was really weak. Now that she's part of the meta, he barely plays her. Granted, he is a duelists -and duelists should play duelists and skye - but TenZ barely flexes. Having a deep agent pool will help TenZ and SEN in the long run.

MOST bengalis, only the politics obsessed uncles and the previous generation born after the civil war of '72.

Popifresh Pog. Fairly good player.

Cryo's crazy good.

infantry ghost, prosperity melee, and recon spectre

meh.

facts

daiki's cracked. one of the best female players in the scene.

it was a decent day. did 2 classes and a test for the third one, then made cream of mushroom soup while watching Guard v XSET.

50??

holy shit how does he move his wrist.

C9 2-0

The Guard are so good. Their teamplay is one of the best rn. Everyone on The Guard is so impactful, it's actually crazy.

Duelist: Cryo (XSET)
Flex: Keznit (KRU)
Initator: Laz (ZETA)
Controller: MaKo (DRX VS)
Sentinel: nAts (GMB)

Rise, Knights, LG, EG

I would recommend:

Erased- good story, good characters, animation is really good, great gateway anime for beginners.
91 Days- set in the prohibition era, compelling story and characters, great themes and development. one of the more underrated animes.
Code Geass- one of my all-time favourites. character development is top-notch, the story is really good, themes and ideas are really interesting. give this a watch if you haven't seen it.

also, get well soon brother

god NA VALORANT is such a coinflip. Any team can come up on top on any day.

Standings Prediction

Group A:
C9
XSET
The Guard
100T
LG
EG

Group B:
NV
SEN
V1
NRG
Rise
Knights

My buys:

ZETA (they look like a strong team on paper, communication won't be an issue at all, and assuming dep can come back to form, this team is the favourites for masters)

Crazy Raccoon (new squad, but picked up some strong pieces. If Meiy can become a good Jett player, then they can gun for the top spot.)

Sengoku (the dark-horse. They gave the old ZETA squad a hard time, and with enough practice, Sengoku can become a great team.)

Reignite (another dark-horse contender. Foxy9 aka SeolHwa was crazy good, and eKo looked great on TNL. If kurozooted can be a good player, then this team is one to watch out for.)

SCARZ (no one's talking about them, but I think they can be a surprise contender. C1nder is insane, marin and ryota- are really good, Anthem and Shuzz are great pickups, but sio is still an unknown quanity. I think SCARZ can be really good, come this qualifier.)

IGZIST (ex-Blackbird Ignis + Lakia + Ask. I mean this team seems really good on paper, but their recent performances left JP fans concerned. I think they can come back to top-form for sure, and gun for the masters spot.)

Despite his personal beliefs, this is a massive pickup for Leviatan. Onur is a really good coach, and I think he can take Leviatan to the next level.

I agree, there's a ton of combos you can do

i need an honest analysis on how good "my dress-up darling" is

Really excited to see EG and The Guard next week.

NA VALORANT is a coinflip bruh. anything can happen at any day. hell for all we know, 100T might flounder and come dead last.

nt BBG. They did really well, all things considered.

Canada:

Tenz - jett op
Nismo - duelist flex
zander - controller
FNS - sentinel
eeiu - sova flex

USA:

yay - Jett op
Ethan - duelist flex
dapr - sentinel
vanity - controller
Crashies - sova flex

tbh, they are close, but USA edges it out.

meiy

i think YOU had a brain attack

munchkin

wonderweiss with a good post?

also the new season has been SLAPPING. to think that UFOtable produced this level of animation for 11 episodes. I cant imagine how they'll up their game in later seasons.

VA? You mean VS?

Bang has completed his revenge arc.

that's not a brazilian flag KEKW

nah, people will forget it in a month or so

Remember when EG was a mixed team?

They've come a long long way.

Great stuff from EG. Jawgemo and Dre has been really good.

how... what?

Gen.G? Losing an 11-1 lead?

Rise, Soniqs, LG, BBG

same brother. i believe in this team still, but they need to re-build their rep because now they're known as "the team where the coach is IGL'ing." Not to mention the fact that haven and bind were the last two maps, the two maps where T1 struggled a lot. just purely unlucky, I suppose.
