i do think he was a good player. everyone who's played with him seem to hold him in high regard. tbh i thought he was overrated in his last year. 2021 really stayed in peoples mind's i guess. BUT if you ask majority ppl who are actually a part of the valo community (players/talent/etc) who the face of valo is, i think tenz would be the most picked. if youre talking about "relevance", those are really the only opinions that matter imo. finding him annoying is a personal thing. i dont follow his stuff so i dont have an opinion on that

woow!!! so amazing he had the self restraint not to send a dick pic!!!! the article you posted literally says HE WAS AWARE OF HER AGE AND WANTED IT TO REMAIN SECRET. IT ALSO SAYS SHE WAS 15. (I wrote it in caps because you seemed to have missed all tis.)

so ya, never heard of this creep until now but fuck that guy. he knew it was wrong and did it anyway. who gives a fuck if he said sorry later? still a fucking creep

can someone explain why we care if a team sells their spot??? the guard's roster won NA Ascension. why does it matter whether they compete under the guard or a different org? the only thing that matters is that the roster is the same. i'd understand if riot didnt want an org to drop the players who won Ascension and go into VCT with other people. but correct me if im wrong, but that is not what is happening. i must be missing something because even if a random org came out of nowhere, signed the guard players and took the spot i wouldnt care. riot gets money, the players who won get to play in vct, we get to watch.

Riot's concern is setting a precedent for the orgs that win Ascension to sell their spot.

thats a good point, i didnt think about that. but at the end of the day, i dont see why its such a big deal. my point of view as a spectator is, i dont care who the org is. literally does not matter. i watch the players so...if amazon (just an example) bought the guard and took the spot, i am not affected at all between watching them under the guard vs amazon. like who cares if an org buys a spot? riot gets money, viewers shouldnt really care (if you do pls share why, im curious). the only thing that matters is that the same players that won ascension, are the ones playing

true neutral because i wouldnt mind any but i do have an order

prx cause jinggs last tourney and i love the way prx play. very entertaining
loud cause saadhak. plus cauanzin and tuyz are nuts
eg cause i love the shit talk and i think its funny when ppl start getting butthurt about competitive sports players talking trash
fnc cause its good for the valo scene to have a team that others strive to beat. i think it pushes others to improve more

but the order of who i think will win
fnc
prx
eg
loud (theyre only last bc theyre lower bracket and rematch fnc. if they were upper theyd be #1 for me)

"THEY WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND"

is cned not performing well? i havent watched many navi games, but id imagine he would still be a solid player. not -zyppan instead?
shao/suyg great players. angel should stay unless you want them to rethink how they play the game . but i agree, see how they do this tourny

TL imo should just shuffle if they don't make it out of groups (although group D is nuts). not because theyre bad players, i just think they havent found consistency together on an international level and should shake things up

ya thats possible. theres always a world where anyone can win, right? especially at this level. not arguing against that. just saying i dont find what boostio said to be disrespectful. it would be ironic if they lost tho

should he have said "oh i actually don't want to answer that question, that would be mean"? id say its disrespectful if he went along the lines of "they suck" or "theyre bad". but he chalked it up to inexperience, nothing wrong with that imo

i kinda understand your point on the language barrier but there's a translator in the room. and its possible, from context, he may have understood what he said. regardless tho, i dont find it disrespectful if the question you're answering is "whos the weakest team"

he literally said "bilibi and fpx would be the weakest because they have the least experience"...but sure all that shit.
even fpx isn't confident, they're just looking to get comfortable on an international level

Underrated: Ethan (his util has a been a big factor for EG's success and overall decent aimer)
Overrated: Ardiis

don't get me wrong, im an NRG fan. but if its my money and its ardiis vs most other superstars, i put it on the latter. hes good, just isnt the superstar ppl hype him up to be. granted he doesnt need tho, everyone in nrg pulls their weight imo

C9 let's go

Awesome. This event has been super fun to watch. Really hoping for a DRX vs XSET final. I want Asia to get their win but I love a good underdog story

Do they flip the bracket to get new matchups? Or do they leave the possibility for teams to rematch so soon? It’d be really disappointing to see the same teams rematch again, prior to a upper/lower/grand final

Like xset vs fnatic or drx vs fpx

Time for an Asia win???
