10 man everton bc their own players fought one another no less...

From is sooo good. It sucks that it's on such a niche streamer bc I don't think enough ppl know about it.

+1 for the Midnight Mass shouts, that would def be my suggestion.

it's rarely more than 25% in terms of prize winnings going to the org. in val the orgs usually give the players the large majority of the prize pool but then take a much larger percentage on the digital in-game items like the team and champs bundles. some orgs even take full 100% of those and don't cut the players out at all.

yeah that's bullshit lol

do they though? na gc teams besides srg don't rly seem to take it seriously. more interested in treating val like it's a social engagement than a professional one and it's been that way for years. "more" coaches aren't going to help players who don't have the drive or commitment.

can we ban this guy instead of Talon

has nothing to do with what the players want? it's about budget

aw is the kd stan cwying... kd softer than your mom's hemorrhoid cushion

bro is the most overly sensitive butthurt athlete in existence, yall just dont understand. actual 12 ply soft serve

agreed, and also not to mention that in esports there is this expected level of interaction and communication between player and community bc of socials and streaming and they're proximity to the toxicity is high... and that just doesn't exist in pro sports unless you're kevin durant lol

they make 1 / 100th of what pro athletes make get a grip lol

a lot of this is not true.

re: trad sports, just because a player signs a contract for a long time, it only provides job security if it's padded with a guarantee. so it's good for leagues like MLB and NBA (where they've collectively bargained for it), but the NFL doesn't fully guarantee contracts. and in a sport with as many serious injuries as the NFL, it's cut throat for like 60% of the guys playing there.

also, you aren't correct about orgs in esports being able to release players whenever they want, either. esports players can also have contract guarantees if they negotiate them in, which deters orgs from cutting players too early. a lot of val pros DO have guarantees. and in EMEA VCT, contracts are governed by Berlin law which fully guarantees the life of the contract term.

"i don't really follow gc"

"every time i watch one of her games." "every time i look at vlr she's the lowest rated player.'

my guy, for someone who 'doesn't follow gc,' you're already more committed than ppl that do. just stop being a pussy and say you don't like her and are happy she's not doing well lol

she wouldn't have been your gf in the first place champ. keep wishing.

it's incredibly good. prob a top 30 series for me. if anything i'd say peaky blinders is remarkable quality when you consider it had such a limited budget compared to what most prestige series spend nowadays. but i don't think it's disrespectful to not put it top 15 though when you consider there are thousands of options out there. i thought it started out really strong but fizzled out a bit toward the end, probably through no fault of its own because of having to film the last parts during Covid where you can't consistently get extras on set. it just felt like a very different series to toward the end.

it's almost like it's got nothing to do with the stat sheet

been on 9 rosters in like 2 months i'm not sure the orgs are the ones ruining him

the reports already said he was taking a pay cut. it wasn't a money thing. you gotta work a different angle.

either 1/10 bait or you're just fkn dumb and ignoring the millions of ppl who have already pointed out that zekken's contract was expiring. the ball isn't in their court. you have fuck all in terms of evidence to prove they are 'cheaping out' lol. just stop

1/10

ez

gotta agree, the emea casters are top tier. but damn do those na players clear emea lawl so many trophies too

1/10 tbh

this is the most vlr answer ever where you have someone who doesn't even watch the players but still goes out and makes grandiose claims about how good they are based solely on stats xD

they aren't even scrimming. this is bs

it's so mid

based

so then why are you talking

this rocketbullts dude needs to find a fucking therapist

oof

nah, they decided that NA + BR produced BOTH grand finalists for each of the last two years but we should make them fight over the extra slot instead of taking it away from emea who gets 3 somehow

idk what they looked like the rest of this year but today was the first full match i've seen of falcons and they looked like a google doc team with 0 ideas and adaptability in the midround.

oh, myyyy mistake. in that case, big vouch lol

so you don't think playing gc, playing challengers, and playing additional 3rd party tournaments on weekends is pushing themselves? i don't think the issue is a lack of trying or pushing themselves.

what's the point of ethan still playing in vct, he's been world champion twice already

i'm sorry to report but facts are facts. wtf is a fact based on emotions? are u 8?

1/10 twerp. maybe Nats should retire instead since at least boaster can sniff a grand final

when ppl blame a loss on a single mistake in a single round, it just says they don't understand this game ... or any competitive game for that matter

w suggestion and w use of the proper form of 'affect'

agent bans will ruin competitive valorant. watch teams who are required to play their permaban, or the level of play in the experimental pick ban 3rd party tournaments they've done. the level of gameplay is so low and unenjoyable. if you think 2 agent bans and no mirroring would make it 'sm more interesting,' than you watch valorant at a silver level already.

tre is a good shout. kon knueppel looked legit during summer league so i'd prob make him my third pick.

can we all agree it won't be ace?

bro is arguing with ghosts. no one complains abt the number of games. go watch overwatch if u hate it here u bum

gotcha. i think the roster changes they made for the upcoming split will be good though.

no not in the international. i meant the first two emea gc regional events for 2025. they haven't even made a finals yet.

have they even made a final in a regional tournament yet? aren't they like 3rd and 4th?

bro said 'this is big boy talk' while using his mom's wifi

w breakdown honestly
