majority of the comp issues have been caused by rossi's inability to play anything other than jett on maps like fracture combined with their lack of faith in him as a duelist resulting in all the double duelist shit from LCQ. Same with the lack of coordination it really looks like no one on the team has faith in rossi.
ik they dont wanna drop rossi but hes really holding the team back. He doesn't function as a duelist properly within the team.
Drop rossi he's proven himself to be too inconsistent and inflexible for a team like this. You can't get away with only being able to play jett anymore.
next either 1 promote texture to full time duelist or 2 yoink Jemkin from SCARZ (this is assuming that he doesn't count as an import tbh idk how those rules apply in this situation since him and kristal are on the same team but are both russian)
if you switched texture over try to pick up kristal or shiro to play scans and flex onto second controller.
If bazzi wants to go back to initiator try to pick up blazerking instead (assuming he speaks english if not youre fucked)
Have Ayrin play full time supportive flash initiator and the other initiator player play scans, secondary controller if needed, and secondary flasher if you insist on the double flash comps.
Drop the comps that don't work (ahem ascent ahem) tbf a lot of these were caused by inflexibility of roles (rossi). While you're at it have your main initiator player (not ayrin) actually fucking learn sova. Bazzi has played it on ascent in like one game the other initiators listed have played him too. Fade loses so much value in the jett meta over sova.
dephh wasn't a good fit for the team and it wasn't working out yes but the reality you wanted was not much better. Sacy still got to play initiator for lots of this split and was mid asf. Tenz played many jett games and was mid as usual. Zekken is the only one on the team who has been consistently solid dephh was not and never will be the only issue with that team it was a mess from inception regardless of roles.
and like i said the frenchies do the same the turkish fans do the same the korean fans do the same this is just how regional fandom works........
How do you know no T1 orgs want him
he was a free agent when franchising started no one picked him up. he is a free agent right now no one picks him up. if you think teams want him they sure arent putting any effort into getting him...
Well simply because shahz isn't franchising worthy it's that simple
no shit thats the whole point of the goddamn argument
🤷♂️all im hearing is youre talkin out your ass and dont know how old the clips are
I dont think smurfing only sheriff is wrong
All smurfiing is wrong. Your reyna was right. You're wasting the time of 9 other people get a life and warm up like a normal person 💀.
Ah yes the censored scrim clips are clearly dated 💀
this is expected. 100t is probably gonna explode in the offseason and get rebuilt. Stellar signed his own death warrant with this last split. I wouldnt be surprised for him and derrek to be dropped for johnqt and nismo
they also run neon. could easily be BLG too
oh you think its domestic t1 teams? you're delusional. Show me the domestic t1 NA team running cypher on Fracture 💀 or even split for that matter 💀. Closest you'll get is C9 but they don't run the viper.
its almost like i said that in my post 🤦♂️
Ascent could be almost anyone
Fracture prolly BLG ngl. They actually run the cypher. I would think TL but they haven't been running cypher on Fracture there is a chance they've got a new comp going. It also could just be a t2 team or smth.
Split is TL or FUT. I'd lean towards FUT tho since TL likes to run the sage too on that map.
Ofc all of this is also assuming these aren't just t2 teams.
Oh well nothing u can do to convince a SEN fan. Bet u still think the Iceland team would be champs contenders today. Keep supporting t2 players they're needed but the delusion is yours if you think Shaz is t1 material. There's a reason no t1 team wants him 💀.
s0m team is better which is why s0m > mako
team=individual performance? 🙄
wym? only relevant teams navi's beaten this year are KRU during flop arc LEV and TS. They couldn't even beat NRG (NA's worst team). Favorite teams playin VS navi is great! We get to see our favorite players stunt on some runty old dude.
most real and totally not week old account
here in brazil
no shit. the frenchies support KCP and the Turkish support FUT that doesn't mean the average viewer is as delusional as the regional supporters.
If hes not the problem why does no t1 org want him? Why hasn't he produced results in over 2 years? Shaz has done nothing since 2021.
The staggering figures associated with the global sex and human trafficking industry, amassing $150 billion, along with the $180 billion from the sex work industry, underscore the alarming magnitude of the issue at hand. We would be naive to believe that these industries operate in entirely separate realms without any overlap. These are interconnected spheres, driven by the commodification and exploitation of human bodies. Countless individuals are forced into this grim reality of sex work due to duress, manipulation, or an utter lack of alternatives. Although a fraction of consensual cases exist, these are exceptions rather than the norm and should not blind us to the nightmare that significant numbers of sex workers are coerced into.
Again with the intentional ignorance. The articles I linked directly address this multiple times.
On a global scale, the situation becomes more disconcerting when considering millions in developing nations, pushed into this industry due to their dire socio-economic circumstances and the sinister industry of sex tourism preying on impoverished communities. The narrative of 'consensual adult sex work' may hold true for a select few, but it dangerously oversimplifies the issue, overshadowing the exploitation and suffering of countless individuals. Our focus should not be on normalizing this industry but aiming for its abolition and addressing the socio-economic imbalances that push people into this exploitative trap in the first place.
Again with the intentional ignorance. The articles I linked directly address this multiple times.
Stop running away.
even if the act is consensual, exposure to it is not. If you post a sex video on the internet, you are putting it on a public forum where billions of people, including children, can potentially access it. It’s true that some of those people will be adults who intentionally seek it out. But many will be children who do not have the capacity to consent to this exposure, even if they do seek it out.
Which public forum. YT where you have to actively search it up and it will never be recommended or shown without effort and prior knowledge from the user and will not be shown to a minor if the account is set up properly? Twitter where if your account is actually set up properly for a minor it won't be shown? IG where again if your account is properly set up for a minor then it wont be shown? Vast majority of social media sites are 13+ and will restrict the access to nsfw material to accounts below 18. If a child finds porn on Twitter IG or YT then its an issue with the parents not the people posting the porn. All of those cites also by default censor and warn users about nsfw material before showing it. If you're finding uncensored porn its because you decided to enable it 💀.
If an adult has sex with a child, we call that rape, no matter if the child agreed to the act or not. That’s because we have correctly determined that children do not have the psychological development or emotional maturity to make informed and healthy decisions when it comes to sex. So if a child cannot consent to engage in a sexual act, it logically follows that he cannot consent to participate as a third party witness. If you post a sex video online and a child sees it, the fault lies with you, not the child.
Again wrong. The blame would lie with the hosting site the ISP and the parents.
STOP DEFLECTING TO MAKE THIS A PROBLEM OF SEX WORK, WHEN THIS IS A PROBLEM OF PORN.
Legislation that affects porn inevitably affects all sex work and porn is simply a type of sex work. Not to mention in your other replies you bash sex work too.
sex work in itself is a 180 Billion Dollar problem in itself. + the 97 million dollar industry of porn.
sex work has its own dangers, including:
Immediately proves my point lol. Yup all the points you bring up are problems. None of them, however, are reasons to remove sex work but are instead reasons to decriminalize it and protect sex worker's rights. The fact that you see problems with an industry and chose to blame the worker not the societal structure that impose things like access to healthcare and unsafe working conditions is telling. And again this was addressed in the articles I posted.
If this was yesterday I'd say this is simple laziness to read opposing views but at this point it seems to be intentional ignorance to protect your fragile ego.
its impossible for loud to flop no one is expecting anything from them by now with the drama rumors and the masters performance
Shaz couldn't even make it to ascension lil bro 💀
NRG get grouped FNC drop to ZETA
thats perhaps the most lukewarm take of all time.
Gentle mates. got gifted a spot in the freest region imaginable
well i mean they're guaranteed to be in VCT for 2 years its super rare to not have a change in that amount of time. The question wasn't about if they can immediately change the roster or not.
Thank you for your input. However, I believe that the fact men shame women who engage in sex work supports my point that this industry is not empowering. If it were truly empowering, it would be universally accepted and not stigmatized."
You didn't read the articles this is directly addressed multiple times.
The issue is not only about the number of men participating in porn/prostitution. My point is that relying on a customer base, which is predominantly male, puts the sex workers in a vulnerable position where they may have to compromise their boundaries to meet the demands of the customers. This is not a reflection of empowerment
You didn't read the articles this is directly addressed multiple times.
The question regarding the 'full value of labor' was about whether a sex worker gets compensated fairly for their work. Studies indicate many are not, and this exploitation further challenges the idea of empowerment in the industry.
No they don't but this is not an argument for the end of sex work it is an argument for the end of or regulation of capitalism. No workers get paid the full value of the labor they produce under capitalism. Although independently run sex work is pretty damn close for still existing under capitalism.
The potential lack of control over scenarios is another concern. Many sex workers do not have the privilege of setting their own boundaries, leading to physical, emotional, and mental harm.
You didn't read the articles this is directly addressed multiple times.
Lastly, even if some forms of porn are consensual, the presence of child sexual abuse material and revenge porn on porn platforms taints the entire industry and indicates its problematic nature. Comparing this to our concern about unethical labor practices elsewhere, it's hypocritical to dismiss these serious issues in the sex industry
Alright first things first you finally admit that consensual porn exists which is a big step for you. Agreed child porn and revenge porn are bad. The reason there is a difference between concerns over international labor practices and porn is because unlike when you buy your shoes it is extremely easy to confirm that the porn you consume is ethical and does not involve minors.
To me, these aspects don't depict empowerment. Instead, they suggest exploitation and harm. While I respect your right to a different perspective, I can't support an industry with such inherent problems.
The problems you listed are real in no way did you prove they were inherent to sex work however. Unluckily for you your opinion is about as valuable as the dirt under my shoe. You are not a sex worker you do not face the consequences of the actions/legislation that you advocate for. You do not get a say.
he saw the flag of Luxembourg and thought it was the dutch flag.
*edit saying flag of the netherlands is more accurate in hindsight
nope I'm not dutch (I just clicked a random flag when i first made this acc since i didnt think id ever really use it but oh well) nor do i work for the NSWP I just care what actual sex workers think about this issue unlike you.
"If sex work was truly empowering then men would be the ones pressuring women from not doing it and insist that sex work is a man's job." Yes men actively do that currently (ahem you ahem). There is immense stigma around sex work. Men actively shame women who do OF. You just closed your eyes to the world.
"If it is so empowering why don't more men participate in porn/prostitution?" "The customers are men so that is who you are serving and who you are relying on for your income, you have to meet their needs, or you are out of work. Who is in control? How is that empowering?" You are right the demand for sex work mostly (but not entirely) comes from men (hence why there are fewer male sex workers). As for the second point you didn't read the sources I linked. Go ahead I'll wait it is not my place to speak for sex workers or their own views on this topic so I suggest you go back and do some reading.
"If it’s so empowering, why don’t we bring sex workers career day for children?" "If it’s so empowering, how would you react if your 13 year old told you they wanted to be a SW when they grow up?" "If it is empowering why do men look down on sex workers? Why don’t they want their partners to be sex workers?" Again go back and do the reading that I linked you it's not my place to speak for women here (like you're doing).
"Does the woman make the full value of labour?" Thats just not a coherent sentence.
"Does she have a say in the conditions scenarios the studio may put her in or must she just accept it?" Go back and do that reading. For gods sake dude 10 minutes worth of reading would've made 80% of this comment irrelevant.
"50% of the videos on pornhub are taken down each year because they either had child sexual abuse material or revenge abuse material" Yes child sexual exploitation is bad. You again are unable to address OF, solo porn, and amateur porn.
"Why is it that people are concerned that their sneakers might have been stitched together by a 12-year-old in China, yet so unconcerned that the ‘consensual sex act’ they’re viewing online might actually be a very non-consensual act of child rape?" because unlike your shoes you are able to easily consume porn that is not non-consensual child porn. Just because you don't do your research before consuming porn doesn't mean others don't. But ofc many many many people are concerned about exploitation within porn but unlike you they are able to understand that consensual porn exists.
thats normal w/o counterstraffing CS has around 22 frames to completely stop momentum while val only has 8 (when running at 60 fps). Counterstraffing in val doesn't actually matter. When compared to CS you're probably just noticing the difference.
"funny how ppl really took every statement into the classic cs vs val debate"

"ofc everyone here only reads the title " :

🙄
Read the other comment I just posted (and lets just talk there its far easier than switching b/w threads) you don't care about the people affected by the ideas you put forth nor do you take their wishes into account. Your views on sex work are fueled by ego religion and an overall level of brain rot.
"no way you're calling me misogynist" never did you're just making stuff up now.
"also this "self report" thing makes no sense. you're attempting to call me a hypocrite" nope not calling you a hypocrite just a dumb ass who never thought about the state the models of the porn he consumed faced. Not my fault your only experience of porn is non-consensual porn.
"again, I advise you to read the women here" and i suggest you read the women

You don't care about sex workers you just want to enforce a puritanical world view that actively hurts women.
"a recent very thoughtful post" yeah I don't give a shit what a random man thinks about sex work while having never interacted with existed within or even met someone who works within the sex work industry. That guy does not have a place at the table in this discussion.
"stop deflecting and embrace the problem" I was pretty head on and unlike you am not the one avoiding the thoughts and wishes of actual sex workers.
"and stop trying to make it a real "job" it feels desire, and you cannot sugar coat it by putting "ethical" and "consensual" next to it." it is a very real job with merit in our society. "if feels desire" is not a complete sentence but I imagine you meant "it fuels desire" which again is just using puritanical religious rhetoric to try and act superior. And your inability to conceive of consensual porn is pathetic at best.
"this "job" is being advocated against by former P Stars!! evidence" your evidence is women criticizing the porn industry because there is very good reason to do so. However, criticism is not the same as calling for its removal all together (what you're doing). No where in this article are the women actually calling for the end of the porn industry (which is crazy btw since it uses out of context quotes and is a SWERF website but that just goes to show you how flimsy that argument is).
"I know that any amount of evidence will result you in saying "not all companies" but the evidence is clear, read it, the denial can only go on for so long." never said that and never will I quite outwardly criticize studio produced porn in my original comment but you pretend like that is the only porn in existence. Your only counter argument to the existence of amateur porn OF and solo porn is simply pasting a SWERF subreddit.
"just because tons of other companies in this shady industry didn't get caught, it doesn't mean that it isn't a possibility, at the same time. its just irresponsible to just carry on as if nothing happened, its a thing and it should be one of the reasons people stop, as well as a copious amount of harms and terrors this habit entails." agreed but again you pretend like studio produced porn is the only porn to exist. And
Have a read through the NSWP's website (a group run by actual sex workers instead of that swerf website u sent) and educate yourself: https://www.nswp.org/who-we-are

I didn't even say he watched CS too 💀. In hindsight tho this is just bait.
"funny how ppl really took every statement into the classic cs vs val debate"
"CS2 will not die anywhere in the world."
"Val esport will be irrelevant soon"
🙄
Hes not moralizing hes a swerf. He doesn't give a shit about actual sex workers (just the people most directly affected by this stuff 💀) or their thoughts. Standard brain rot. Crazy to see it here tho 💀
the dudes a swerf the idea of consensual porn is too complex for his ilk.
You don't gotta entertain him. Hes just a malding swerf. These people are unable to comprehend the idea of consent or non-exploitative porn properly.
And read my other comment. It's good you're showing your true colors now you're just a puritanical malding swerf.
"1 porn company is bad so all porn is bad" wow there's a lot to unpack there.
Sex work (including porn) is not inherently exploitative or misogynistic. Yes the company you bring up is horrific evil and a lot of those dudes should probably be in jail. This is true for a lot of porn studios (and don't even get me started on JAV that shit is shady asf) but that is not the entirety of porn. Solo produced porn exists. OF with consenting couples exists. Amateur porn exists. To imply that to enjoy porn is to consume child sex and rape is wildly disingenuous and if anything just goes to show that you were watching a lot of evil shit without using your brain.
To imply that everyone who consumes porn is contributing to this issue is again simply an insane self report 💀. Just because you never considered the consent of the models involved in the porn you were watching doesn't mean that no one else did either. Just because you only consumed studio produced porn doesn't mean everyone else does either.
Finally lets not kid ourselves. You don't actually care about porn addiction it's pretty clear your issue with porn isn't the fact that some people are addicted to it it's that it exists in the first place. Just like with all other things in life porn can be consumed with restraint and without addiction. You're using the standard SWERF tactic of "Oh no porn companies are generally bad so lets stop porn" ignoring that this will guaranteed deprive women of jobs and income that are not exploitative. There's a reason the vast majority of actual sex workers (yes including porn stars) will tell you that they are against the outright removal or banning or porn. Instead of looking at the issue and attempting to advocate for actual reforms that would help these women exist and do their jobs without facing potential exploitation or rape you decide to go nuclear and say "Oh no we've gotta stop this who cares if that leaves you unemployed and without a source of income and who cares if it was possible for this to exist in a fully consensual an ethical manner."
