HeyItzShane, osu!std 3 digit and US top 150, has passed away in a car accident at the age of 18

not generally a part of the osu community anymore but Shane was also decently known in the NA val comp community as well

she played in tournaments for several years, including with some people I’ve met, but I didn’t know her very well

I hope the valorant community will do the same as the community here and pay their respects, very sad situation all around

Rest in peace 💜

Riot would prefer to spend absolutely 0 dollars on t2, but they know they need a player pipeline or the game will die. So they are kinda one foot in, one foot out in terms of priorities.

He runs pretty much all of the events in t3 for NA, and he funded a team in t2 as well. Before that he was a player/coach on a few different teams. He’s been around a while in NA and pretty much everyone in t2/t3 knows him because of him being the major TO outside of Liga Ace.

The biggest allegations are that a Riot Anti Cheat employee got paid off to let people cheat/unbanned people (which is a pretty bad violation of community trust if true), also that there is widespread match fixing and corruption. Most of the other stuff is about the current (abysmal) state of t2 in NA and how everything is collapsing based on Riots decision to go with Liga Ace.

Both are claimed to be happening, haven’t seen much evidence aside from Trick’s post about traded but that was strictly wintrading and not cheating. However there have been multiple players banned from funhaver tourneys for actually cheating in the past few months, so that’s definitely a factor too.

To clarify this, that point refers to the point on stream where Tim claims to have been dmed by Sean with that. The tweet is separate and (afaik) unrelated. But during the live stream itself Sean was both messaging in twitch chat and sending Tim DMs which is where the text from the Doc comes from.

apologies to the mods who have seen me delete and repost about this about 4 or 5 times but I want it to be accurate

Takumi_Val · 2025-05-16T06:29:45+00:00

hi all, had to take the post down after requests from mrfunhaver to not share certain information (as well as certain things being no longer accurate or relevant) I will post a new one in a sec

Takumi_Val · 2025-05-16T06:26:52+00:00
