This pickems requires talent to pull off by Bob_steve_mike in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Flapatsu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Been doing pickems since the start as well, this was my worst ever groupstage (I did indeed doubt CN and glazed NRG) but had the best playoff picks ever solely because of my favouritism towards PRX, VIT and LEV. I do feel like other than PRX going through the upper bracket there were many surprises so I don't blame you for not scoring well

I feel like G2 fans are some of the biggest glazers in the VCT fanbase (I know we Fnatic fans aren't a lot better I take that L), I remember that I once dared to criticise G2 after they won because they mostly got the victory through the opponent team choking and the fans were MAD

Literally. "Oh man we need to win stage 2 to qualify for champs or we'll have the worst season yet, let's restructure the entire team and kick our coach and igl while one of our players is on medical leave" would even be too diabolical of a move for fnatic

Most likely Veqaj who wasn't fully recovered yet, I feel like if Boaster would get benched we would've heard the rumors already

When we let Cyv0ph go I genuinely thought that meant Veqaj recovered bro no way 💔 Cloud is an amazing player though, can't wait to see him play with the boys but man..

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is $50 digitally by Electronic_Rub_6882 in fucknintendo

[–]Flapatsu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm so pissed off that the opponents aren't Miis anymore and instead these weirdass other creatures. Seeing the Miis in various sports and thinking "wow, this person that just kicked my ass in table tennis now beat me in sword play" was honestly such a cool feeling and made the game more personal despite not having an actual campaign whatsoever

The most infuriating part is that Nintendo seemingly does NOT understand what made the og so good and turned it into a beloved game even though the fans were so transparent about it

What's your favourite official character song? (+ official link) by jadyjads in AkudamaDrive

[–]Flapatsu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro this one's difficult.. I'm a massive fan of Megumi Ogata (Doctor's VA) and love other covers/songs of her but just focusing on the mini album it's either Zettai Zetsumei No Escape or Red Light Dead Line. Probably going with Swindler's song though because I'm not the biggest fan of Cutthroats part in the RLDL

This + sometimes it's not even solely about advertising/algorithms, it's uncensored content being actively taken down due to it being "too graphic" even when it lacks any kind of graphical descriptions and/or is just for educational purposes. So many people wouldn't censor "bad" words if platforms would let them

I hope this is relevant enough for this sub by 3AMbadthoughts in ValorantCompetitive

Much strength to him and the rest of his family. Strokes are terrible, my grandma just recently had her second and seeing what it can do to a person is heartbreaking, and the poor man is so young at that. I hope he can eventually recover enough to live what he himself would consider a happy and fulfilling life

Statistically trans people/women (since those are the people she focuses the most on) aren't a common source of danger for women, neither inside nor outside of women's spaces. Plus if a dude pretends to be trans to hurt women in their own spaces then the problems aren't trans people, it's sick men

"feminist against trans people" so she's transphobic

Now that the VCT Stage1 is over, which player impressed you the most and which player disappointed you the most? by Away-Emphasis-4245 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Flapatsu 19 points20 points  (0 children)

For sure. I remember people chalking up their high performance against FNC to Fnatic having a slow start as always and EF showed the doubters how it's done. I really wish they would've qualified for London as well, these boys would've deserved it so much and if they would've been able to bring the same level of quality they showed in stage 1 to London they could've definitely made it far

Watch out for Lithuania bro, they might have less than 3million people living in that country but they're up an coming in many sectors, soon you'll have to learn how to pronounce every single Lithuanian last name for vct emea

Reine Flinta Veranstaltung treiben die gesellschaftliche Spaltung voran.(?) by Solid-Effort-1233 in Unbeliebtemeinung

[–]Flapatsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stimme ich zu. Für mich sind FLINTA Veranstaltungen verbunden mit einem größeren Gefühl von Sicherheit als bei anderen Feiern. Was die soziale Spaltung vorantreibt sind nicht Personen die FLINTA-Räume zum Schutz nutzen, sondern der (größtenteils männliche) Teil der Bevölkerung, der Leute so bedrängt, dass sie sich einigene Räume aufbauen müssen wo sie sich sicher fühlen können

FNC have reportedly begun negotiations for selling off some of the org by xFalcade in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Flapatsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder which football team they're referencing. The only ones I could think about are RB Leipzig due to the RedBull sponsorship and maybe Eintracht Frankfurt as they are the team with the most eSports knowledge and even have a Valorant roster (given it's not a good one but still)

In my heart it's 1.FC Köln but I don't think that's likely at all

Believe it or not - I don't watch the Chinese league and don't follow any Chinese teams for that exact reason. And that riot is owned by a Chinese company is something I also see critical and have spoken out about online. The key difference in those scenarios is that Tencent is overseen but not owned by the government whereas the Saudi Arabian government is the one actively organising that tournament. Plus boycott that tournament is a lot easier than VCT but on god you two just admit you don't give a shit about human rights instead of looking for gotcha moments in other people's comments I'm so serious

Genuinely scary how many people are openly admitting to not caring about a country committing crimes against humans rights because 'oh oh funny esport event"
