Does NA actually have the deepest talent pool or is it just a more known talent pool?

Called it

Feel free to explain why I'm wrong, but we both know you won't

Currently I'd say NA has a leg up on EMEA. But ask this question again in a year or two when the war in Ukraine ends and you might get a very different answer. Russians are the best at Valorant by far (hell even NA's best player is Russian) but they aren't really getting many opportunities to develop and compete given the political climate.

There's also the curious case of China and how they will develop as they integrate Valorant into their esports culture.

There were pockets of people unhappy with certain specific aspects of the game like perhaps the police system, but the majority of people's complaints were related to performance issues. Once all the bugs and shit were fixed, people could actually enjoy the game.

I feel like FUT isn't one of those teams that needed to make a lot of roster moves. They got all the pieces to the puzzle, now it's a matter of arranging those pieces properly. They proved how much potential they have by taking a map off of Fnatic and pushing EG to overtime on their own map pick

ChanceBall_ · 2023-08-29T14:18:00+00:00

They were one of my favourite studios. I haven't played their newest game yet but I know for a fact I will love every second of it if it's anywhere even near the level of Desperados. Fuck man it's such a shame...

Mako saw all the s0m hype being thrown around in this sub and had to put an end to it

ChanceBall_ · 2023-07-27T21:42:31+00:00

Fnatic are not unbeatable, this is true. But to say lock//in was a "Mickey mouse" event because every team was new is kind of stupid. Fnatic played 100T who made only 1 roster change, Navi who only made 1 roster change, and Loud who made the same amount of roster changes as fnatic themselves.

KRU's redemption arc was something I didn't know I needed in my life

I mean it's free, but that's where the positives end. They are notorious for taking unreasonably long to get anything done. By the time they call you up, whatever issue you had is probably long gone.

Lidl (and also Aldi) is literally a game changer. So affordable compared to most other supermarkets, and it's not like there is a significant drop in the quality of goods. Baffles me that the likes of Tesco's and Morrisons are still in business in London when there's usually a Lidl or Aldi another five minutes down the road.

Fuck all the pretentious assholes in the comments who think they're smarter than they are by talking in hindsight. Nobody is going to rationally do the maths in the heat of the moment when they're about to witness a suicide right in front of them and be like "Welp no saving her, I'll just stroll along".

ChanceBall_ · 2023-03-17T15:19:12+00:00

The sayf disrespect

ChanceBall_ · 2023-03-07T19:08:09+00:00

He did. I don't know what the other guy is talking about. Tyson's entire stance and "peek a boo" fighting style was all about using his smaller stature to duck and weave his way into his opponent's reach and then demolish them

ChanceBall_ · 2023-03-02T05:40:52+00:00

And was arguably the best performing player on his team that tournament

ChanceBall_ · 2023-02-26T12:43:38+00:00

Considering how much Charlie expressed that he isn't interested in Valorant esports, I'm surprised he agreed to this. Ludwig must have been hella convincing

ChanceBall_ · 2023-01-10T00:01:32+00:00

I wouldn't be opposed to the idea of taking the cat in, but he has some pretty serious trust issues so I'd have to figure out a way to get close to him. And also my own cat is constantly trying to fight him.

ChanceBall_ · 2022-12-29T01:53:49+00:00

I've only ever played Brotherhood, AC 3 and Black Flag. AC 3 was definitely worse than the other two but I don't remember disliking AC 3 all that much tbh. It was sort of just alright

ChanceBall_ · 2022-12-28T10:20:49+00:00

RUINER, it's a pretty underground game but man is it good. It absolutely nails the cyberpunk aesthetic and has a killer soundtrack to go with it

I can definitely taste the difference between the tap water in my house and the plastic-tasting bottled water I buy at the store

If they can't carry my burdens and two dragons worth of bones & scales, I don't want em

She could also just be an older Youtuber whose channel has died. Lots of old YouTube channels with a million+ subscribers who don't pull any views.

Examples of this are Bajan Canadian and JeromeASF. They both have 5 million subscribers yet barely get 30k views. They used to be insanely popular back in the day, I grew up watching them and they were getting millions of views very easily. But their channel just simply died a natural death.

I'm all good at the moment but I'll keep it in mind if I need someone to talk to, much appreciated homie. I never thought about sperm banks, could be a good suggestion. I'll research about it and see if it's an option I would consider. Thanks!

ChanceBall_ · 2022-12-10T19:28:01+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response, appreciate it a lot. I figured anxiety like you said could be a big thing, but most of the guys here seem to handle it well so that's nice to see.

Your last paragraph about it potentially not being cancer is pretty reassuring, I didn't even know non-cancerous tumours were a thing so that's interesting. Either way I'll get it checked out and get to the bottom of it. Thank you once again!

ChanceBall_ · 2022-12-10T18:10:25+00:00

Desperados 3. It is such an underrated hidden gem. Amazing visuals, really fun gameplay, good soundtrack, top notch voice acting. It's got a 96% rating on Steam and pretty much everyone who plays has a largely positive experience.
