it gets to a point

give up

mada and s0m

i think flor and derke also have really good ops but it's close

i'm eternally thankful for the work he's done for nrg flairs (also probably has something to do with dort and asuna_yukki getting perma'd)

shrike in A tier
the only reason not S is because I don't wanna type out a justification

*map

furia has only won 1 map, and it's against the 2nd worst team in their region

insane unfathomable W

first ever 26-0

this is deadass a hall of fame vlr post

incredible work

yeah and orgs are leaving rocket league left and right bc it isn't stable, hell, the 2nd best team itw left this year because they were LOSING money on the esport

i also hate franchising, it's lame, kills hype, and got rid of a lot of beloved orgs, but i don't think rocket league is the best system to try to be emulating

it's not a clutch if the 1 person alive loses

took him a while but he's actually good now, big respect

fracture best map in the game idc

ur tripping it shows all 5

undisputed goat of vgc maybe alongside 2015/16 mega ray

ike is goated if ur playing casually half of the ppl you'll play won't be able to beat nair follow-up spam

greninja dacus in smash 4 was sick as hell

mismagius

fuck steve

botw and smash ultimate

but they came out 8 and 7 years ago respectively, which is admittedly a long time

this is a never before heard take

pi is probably just banned in automod so saying it would get you banned regardless of context (I think it's dumb too I just think that's what happened)

torchic snivy turtwig

if nrg picked up yay in 2023 instead of ardiis they would have been much worse (and ardiis wasn't the problem)

i haven't seen you in so long i thought you died

decides who gets first rounded in playoffs

please throw the bag at mce to find some players worth picking up instead of just doing the same shit that we've been doing for the past 3 years

I agree that #7's take is awful but I think you're being a little disingenuous, saying that he had to prove them wrong is odd, we don't know what the issues with him were on nrg, there isn't really anything for him to prove, at least from an outside perspective

but it was cinema so i'm not complaining

yeah I absolutely agree with you, and the interview they released where he just seems like an egotistical shithead was completely unnecessary, especially since we know that, at that point in the timeline, there were already internal issues in the team

i remember seeing a tanmay post where he mentions that like 9-10 current tier 1 pros in NA literally hate verno because of his attitude, so I don't doubt that nrg had at least SOME reason to drop him, but it felt like they were trying to do too much damage control

this team was never going to succeed anyways after dropping verno, they literally just don't have the pieces, and it doesn't help that verno went nuclear against nrg yesterday, but i can't help but think that there was literally nothing they could have done to prevent this failure, except maybe actually trialing verno instead of just flat out picking him up because of how he looked in tier 2

it's criminal that MCE is as underrated as he is, literally the goat of talent scouting

more freedom with skins = more people buying skins

it's the same idea behind having different skins for ct and t, i wonder why riot hasn't done anything to facilitate this yet

this whole verno situation is so odd to me because I truly wonder what NRG actually should have done in this situation

there was clearly some problem with verno (nobody knows what, just that there was one), and you're given the choice between losing your igl and controller in their last season, or your cracked rookie and coach, but neither would make the fans happy at all, and a whole rebrand would have fucked the team either way

obviously i'm biased because i'm an nrg fan, but it just seems unlucky to a sense, because I can't imagine a situation where it isn't just a lose-lose

past just winning champs, it even feels like every team that makes champs grand finals starts to have problems/immediately falls off

could also say this for another org...

makes sense why he landed at mibr now actually instead of another na team

i agree, there isn't a problem with it, in the same way there isn't a problem with me calling him a moron

?

nah after how lev looked against g2 I think they actually have a shot to upset a few teams, not that it's likely, just possible now

yeah ppl who take game talk seriously are morons

expected tbh

why would you do this

what has come to light today that we haven't already known

better to give an 18 year old a shot to develop than to accommodate for a senior citizen, nrg just did that in their own way I guess

yeah ik bro he's on m80 and was awful his first game back

preaching to the choir

nobody on vlr is going to defend fns except baiters

not for my king victor 😔

go for a third

he didn't even have to punch fns he just full fisted us across the series
