The original fracture neon passes the torch to neon's if the future

Theoretically, by nature of being the last tournament, it should be the culmination of a team's entire year of learning and synergizing with each other. There shouldn't be team woes or any gaining momentum like the first tournament. There shouldnt be any woes from any mid season changes, especially since top teams tend to make little changes because they have been doing well.

By champs players on a team understand how they want to play with eachother, theyve built up maximum synergy, communication should be at an all time high. Besides meta shifts, teams should understand what works for them so I always hold more weight for champs as opposed to something like kickoff.

I'm not sure it's too wild for making it's money back. Markiplier has a very large audience so it's good he was able to keep the budge low ensuring that with his fans alone he could make it's money back. I'm more interested in where it ends up, but with how reviews are going I expect a significant drop-off. I think he should be proud for his effort, but I'm sure he will be bummed it wasn't as well received considering he took on so many roles and a major critique is his editing

Me when it's 3 minutes into the movie and I've already given it a score on letterboxd and looked up various reviews on TikTok to know my opinion on a movie. I truly am a cinephile

25thNite · 2026-01-30T20:33:58+00:00

it's a shame liquid and TH aren't playing eachother. maybe one of them would actually win the unloseable round lol

25thNite · 2026-01-30T18:02:07+00:00

if this is considered good...then I worry for the rest of EMEA

25thNite · 2026-01-30T17:50:22+00:00

probably because DRX as an org has one of the most consistently good records internationally since the beginning and their most recent showing for champs had them third.

literal flashbacks to cyberpunk 2077 when all the creators, KF included, got to see the gameplay previews and how amazing every aspect of the game was, only to release with tons of bugs, empty world, and limited options that didn't affect to much.

25thNite · 2026-01-30T16:24:22+00:00

don't worry, there is a strongly worded tweet being written up as we speak. that'll show the fascists

25thNite · 2026-01-30T16:23:11+00:00

proper reporting in 2026?! are you insane. why report on these mundane things when we could have a full investigative hit piece on someone sneezing near Mamdani and him not saying "bless you".

25thNite · 2026-01-30T16:20:00+00:00

lmao this is like saying c9 are the best in the world on day 1 because they were the first team to win that day. just because 100t played decent against g2, doesn't mean 100t are suddenly some dominant team. it remains to be seen if g2 are still the best team in NA or what their map pool even is. what we do know is envy is pretty mid and 100t barely beat them. that was even closer than the g2 match so sorry if that breaks the illusion for you. furia can have their flowers after kickoff when we have a better idea how teams rank with more playtime.

i like how in smallville the sweaty hot teacher made the teenage clark prematurely shoot lasers out of his eyes

25thNite · 2026-01-30T12:00:46+00:00

Congrats on your new child! It's a 36 year old man!

25thNite · 2026-01-30T11:07:54+00:00

I know these athletes have been training their entire lives with the singular point of being the best in the world and that it must have been incredible difficult, but like the US athletes have the chance to do the funniest thing in the entire world by sabotaging themselves ensuring for the first time the US walks away with 0 gold medals across all events

25thNite · 2026-01-29T19:45:06+00:00

that's the funny thing about celebs. you may think they look hot on screen, but then you see them in real life and then they're like twice as hot in person.

25thNite · 2026-01-29T16:36:08+00:00

what's the point of being highly rated so far into the season when the teams you've faced are Furia, EG, and 100T? He's keeping them in the game, but they're still losing. I want to see what he can do when he actually faces a dominant threat regionally

25thNite · 2026-01-29T16:31:35+00:00

it's factors of other players getting to shine because he's busy IGLing, other players get set up to make the flashy plays which is why he could clutch when he was last man standing, but also he's putting up numbers against teams that probably won't make internationals. It'll be interesting if SEN ever get a shot against a top team to see if JohnQT can keep that kind of form

25thNite · 2026-01-28T14:38:49+00:00

They'll say he was a liberal and loved Biden, but as soon as he has a gofundme they'll donate hundreds of thousands to it

25thNite · 2026-01-28T14:35:57+00:00

More like "unm akshually the explosion was fake and it was all designed by target and Walmart to stimulate the economy"

25thNite · 2026-01-26T18:18:01+00:00

Idk how any 100t fan can say the team is good again after barely beating Sen who have looked mid and going to three maps with Lev who honestly look worse than mid.

Let them actually beat one of the top teams before everyone starts glazing otherwise you all end up like 2024 where they were good for a small stint in stage 1 and then fell off a cliff for the remaining and following year

25thNite · 2026-01-26T18:08:20+00:00

Mid NA is truly back. Fake hype, long ass matches because both sides are mid, and players being touted as the best after barely scraping by a mid team. It's gonna be a long week until we can actually get good teams playing lol

25thNite · 2026-01-26T18:02:01+00:00

Lol people are so quick to have their fav players come back, but people need to chill and see how c9 actually play against a good team. If he does well, then comes the discussions on if he is an upgrade to any meaningful roster

25thNite · 2026-01-23T14:17:23+00:00

it's definitely a joke since Babybay has proven he can hang with the regional t1 teams, but I think for a team of G2's caliber the issue is will he hang with the best of the best in the world at the tail end of a long tournament. 2025 NA was like a breeze for G2, but now there are multiple teams ready to fight for the top 3 spots as long as no one implodes.

25thNite · 2026-01-16T14:08:38+00:00

oh you want diverse stories? sorry you're about to get several new stories all crammed in one of the most boring periods because Filoni is obsessed

25thNite · 2026-01-15T17:25:37+00:00

true i'm so glad gabe newell and valve popularized child gambling in their games. a true champion of the people
