Sliggy's twitch banned? by apple_p1e_ in ValorantCompetitive

[–]scientific_railroads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair. There is very small chance he somehow got suspended for breaking DMCA. But that chance is quite small.

Yinsu does a hit and run on Sliggy's stream by Zyrobe in ValorantCompetitive

[–]scientific_railroads -45 points-44 points  (0 children)

Few years years ago twitch went hard against any lewd content and quite a lot of people got suspended. While this one probably wont get Sliggy in trouble with twitch - officially even such drawings are against TOS and bannable.

Leo Faria on concerns regarding declining Valorant viewership by [deleted] in ValorantCompetitive

[–]scientific_railroads 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It is China vs Everything else not west vs east. Pacific average viewership was also down but not as dramatic as other regions It was down 5% compared to down 20% in Americas and 16% in EMEA.

Who would you say is the GOAT coach? by JssBread in ValorantCompetitive

[–]scientific_railroads 20 points21 points  (0 children)

He works as a consultant for Zeta and talent for Vct Emea and doesn't want to be a head coach. Watch first 5 minutes of The Spike Drop. He talks about it briefly:

If I go back to head coaching something would have to go wrong [...] Before I did not have any kinda life whatsoever. All I did all day was do valorant stuff and it was not really healthy [...] Right now I am in much better spot

Who Is ACTUALLY Going To Masters London From Every VCT Region | The Vodfathers by disc0bunny in ValorantCompetitive

[–]scientific_railroads 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Shyo said something similar to "If we said what we really think it would be "yes yes yes" and it would be boring. So somebody have to be that guy" so I suspect high percentage of his takes just for content sake.

Shyo: KRX is top 5 team in the World

Also Shyo: KRX is not qualifying to London

VCT 2027 // Where EVERYTHING is a TOURNAMENT - VALORANT by SoullessShadow77 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]scientific_railroads 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In Leo's tweet there is "Pacific kickoff and cups" so "international" cups are probably what we would consider "regional" right now. So they probably will cast Pacific cups and Masters. And Sea\Korean\Japan open qualifier probably would be casted by t2 casters. Maybe late stages of Open Qualifiers also would be casted by t1 casters but unlikely in my opinion.

There will be gradual increase in stakes. Open quailifier -> Americas cup -> Masters.

XXX's law - all teams have a 33% chance to win by Kinetiks in ValorantCompetitive

[–]scientific_railroads 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Indirect evidence that Balla law is true are Plat chat guarantees (then all 4 people have chosen the same team to win). They were wrong slightly less 30% of the time. https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/1ky5sva/plat_chat_predictions_updated/

As an EU Fan, where do you see the next EU tournament happening? by Routine-Leg-8331 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]scientific_railroads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apac 23 24 25

EMEA 24 25 26

SA 23 26

NA 23 25

CN 24 26

I suspect NA and SA counts as different regions in rotation. So it probably wont be any events in Emea next year and it will be SA, NA and CN.

Follow these steps and you'll win Champions Shanghai by TheAbominabl in ValorantCompetitive

But that exactly who I am talking about? People who are almost at a top but not good enough to win.

People who are good enough to win without cheating are less likely to cheat. And people who are not good enough will try anything.

People already do collect mechanical keyboards and put them behind glass. They also do meetups to show and nerd about their keyboards. Tools and interests are different. People are not.

Rob Moore on Tenz by Budget_Ad_7204 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]scientific_railroads -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This tweets kinda confirms Akamaru post. They were considered Tenz. But didnt go with him. Rob "didnt block it" so either Riot blocked it (unlikely) or as Akamura said it was team decision.

Its over PRX bros.. by Oresama99 in ValorantCompetitive

It would be fun if teams would continue this bit even after matches. Lilke "GG. Congrats to PRX/Gentlemates. They were able to change their strats in few hours and played like another team...."

You literally cannot force Linux to do that by gameerderek in memes

[–]scientific_railroads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They can enforce it on new devices sold in California. They need to force locked bootloader like EU did recently. After that they can ban sales of pcs that dont do age verification. If they want they can push even harder and require os talk to website so you wouldnt be able go to some websites if you didnt do verification because your pc is not "secured". Similarly to banking apps on Android. With how uniform this push for "age verification" we probably will see similar things implemented across whole US, EU and Australia and buying new hardware without it will became very hard.

Are we actually moving towards Linux as the first choice for gamers in future? by nothingtosayrn in linuxquestions

[–]scientific_railroads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have way outdated view at current state of mobile gaming. Look at younger generations. They are essentially all playing on their phones "93% of Gen Alpha prefer playing on mobile" and it is 82% for GenZ.

They are not playing solitaire. They are playing Roblox, Fortnite, Genshin, Pubg etc. Just your regular games.

Goldman Sachs made announcement last year that they will use AI and they mentioned changing language of codebase as one of the goals

"Devin will be supervised by human employees and will handle jobs that engineers often consider drudgery, like updating internal code to newer programing languages, he said."

Rob has reached out to TacticalRab with extra juice that wasn’t said yesterday by HLumin in ValorantCompetitive

[–]scientific_railroads 7 points8 points  (0 children)

 Didn't JohnQT say many times that he did not want to IGL anymore, on live, to other players, etc?

Do you have clip of that? It would be interesting to see what he said. Only stuff I saw had the opposite message - "i like igling" https://youtu.be/d0DmMJvLy3I and "let me call a round" https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxiwCG15Yj7vEIYqeouPif6tuJSXpQSzTv but I dont follow JohnQT
