>>1965580
why is this a Valorant skin? i never played Valorant

i do not like these pin sounds

>>1965588
It makes it look like the Vandal (the Valorant ak)

>>1965595
also they broke the grenade cam somehow

>>1965582
where does it say the subtick thing, the update page just says nades, scripting, spectator loadout, and genesis skins

>>1965588
Like this I guess. It's mostly about the white and gold (I think?), it seems Riot loves making skins like that.

>>1965597
in the patch notes not the blog post

they can't even add anything without fucking something else up in the process

minimal autists, the worst parasite in the scene was esea mining bitcoin, just pvre cs

>>1965723
>>1965733
i guess they were going by the logic of who finished last yesterday - paiN and Astralis had the latest games and they wanted to avoid putting either of them at 11 AM, so by elimination that leaves FaZe-Liquid to play the earliest.

>>1965788
11 AM local time i mean, that's when Faze-Liquid play

>>1965791
this is too funny

This is conflict of interest though

>>1965791

You won't do shit

you can sell cs2 nfts and buy games with them. there is an actual marketplace that uses real money, not memecoins

>>1965748
Holy shit how is this even real wtf?????? the butt rub?????

>>1965906
you can sell irl nfts and buy anything you want with them
steam funds are more meme than any jeetcoin since they only can be spent on games or steam NFTs

>>1965909
you can sell nfts, but no one wants them. people actually want cs2 nfts, they have a use

>>1965916
>but no one wants them
that's very clearly not true
>According to PANews, NFT sales across 23 tracked blockchains reached approximately $598.8 million in August 2025, marking a 4.32% increase from July's $574 million. This figure represents the second highest monthly sales in 2025, following January's $679 million

>>1965918
>down 80 million this year
like i said, no one wants them. remember those bored apes? they're still worth millions, right?

>>1965923
>half a billion worth of monthly sales... means no one wants them!
so ak-47 gold arabesque is good because you like it and bored ape #777 is bad because you don't like it?

>>1965924
no, the ak-47 is good because you can't right-click and save it into the video game

>>1965925
>downloads a skin changer
this is the equivalent of "save as..." for cs2 skins

>>1965928
that will get you vac banned

>>1965931
in csgo maybe, not in casino-strike 2

>>1965934
in cs2, too. also, why would you want a client side skin changer, when the whole point is that other people can also see the skin you have

>>1965936
vac can't detect spinbotters, what makes you think it would detect skin changers?
>when the whole point is that other people can also see the skin you have
and other people can see that I have bored apes
not like all those chink trades are playing the game with 666 Stockholm 2021 Evil Geinuses Holo stickers on their guns anyway

it's over

>>1965940
most literate nft advocate. other people can't see what skin you have if you're using a skin changer
vac can detect spin botters
people try to play the market cause it's a real market, and the stickers have use outside of being a jpg. nft's markets are pure pyramid scheme fomo with no other purpose

IF TWISTZ REPLACES RAIN. THEN MAGIXX REPLACES FROZEN? MAKES SENSE

>>1965950
OH NONONONNOONONO BOOMERBROS...IT'S OVER...

>>1965952

you're the one advocating for nfts here man, even valve doesn't pretend it's something else now that they give you a literal ownership certificate

me: you can't save as a skin

you're illiterate bro

>>1965965
you've got a bit confused there man
>you: you can't save as a skin
>me: you can use a skin changer
>you: the whole point of buying skins is that other people can also see the skin you have
>me: and [if I buy them] other people can see that I have bored apes
just like with skins with skin changer, you technically have them and can use them in-game, but you don't own them and can't show them off. how is m buying the proof of ownership of a bored ape is different?

>There were rumors of rain being really mad at hotel during fissure event.
UH-OH!

>>1965967
is he frustrated no one wanted to fuck his neck anus?

>>1965966
you can save as a bored ape and use it as a profile pic, and everyone can see you using it. you can't do that with a skin
the block chain "ownership" is not a requirement to use. the marketplace ownership is a requirement to use

>>1965970
so, coming back to the original question, cs2 NFTs are good because you have to spend money to "use" the jpg in a specific scenario (in game) which isn't the case for regular NFTs that don't have the game attached to them?

>>1965971
no, it's because they're not pure pyramid scheme fomo, amongst other things

can skinfags please just make a thread on /v/, /vg/ or /biz/?
anywhere but here please

>>1965960
pronax should've avoided becoming mentally ill

>they're not pure pyramid scheme fomo
>not pure fomo
ignoring your misuse of "pyramid scheme" half the skin market is based on fomo lol

I think faze has the better pole
they should win

>>1965988
But Liquid has 2 poles, maybe that evens it out?

epic how twistzz brings in some t3 dogshit polish awper and then leaves

Again this shit needs to go
not every tournament has to be about whether a team gets arbitrary points for major invite

There are rumors Faze is throwing in exchange for cheaper Twistzz fee. Because this gets Liquid guaranteed major. Think about it.

Pretty smart of Twistzz to play a good Ancient so that people don't ask questions when he throws the next maps.

just noticed karrigan is balding
feels like he's had at least a decent head of hair until relatively recently

Karrigod is looking very low energy.. this isn't a good sign

>>1966038
i had that for about 2 years but managed to recover most of it with just diet/sleep changes and stress reduction and a better shampoo

I bet faze regrets not getting siuhy when they had the chance

Why would Twistzz downgrade though? Something is not right.

>frozen having a shit game
damn... hope he comes back on map 2
otherwise karrigan might have to roll back the years

>>1966049
Because he thought it wasn't a downgrade. He thought -elige and vibes were back.

karrigan puts up similar performances when he's winning and when he's losing, his performance is a non-factor in 9/10 games

what's his thoughts?

seen lots of that lately, there was one where kyousuke got mid air tec9'd a few days ago and at least 1 other kill in a different match

>>1966102
karrigan finna steal my job

FaZe TF Up!

people pissing their pants over liquid's vrs gains are being humbled, it's clear this team is different from the one that lost to vp prodigy, they could've and should've won against vitality and were simply unlucky having to face spirit and the winners of blast london since then. whatever dog team loses out on major invite from liquid making it deserves it for being worse

elige is pre-carrying liquid already

>>1966098
>>1966106
>TFW Faze management tells you -Rain -Neo -Frozen, you the coach now oh and also +Twistzz and +Magixx

>>1966108
>whatever dog team loses out on major invite from liquid making it deserves it for being worse
What angers me is that the VRS replacing RMRs as the qualification system to the major clearly doesn't work as we can see by Liquid. You can suck for the entire season but one fluke groupstage run will get you from no chance to qualify to a guaranteed spot at the major. It's not about consistent performance.

FaZe bench rain, karrigan, frozen; Twistzz to IGL
>source: overdrive's ass

b-but broky was supposed to be back...

>>1966112
well rmrs are certainly not about consistent performance, or you would've seen gamerlegion and astralis in austin, go further back and you could come up with dozens of examples of unworthy teams fluking their way through

>twistzz back to old form
>ultimate life gaming
>siuhy making extremely aggressive but good calls
>nertz sounding like it's 9/11
is it the pressure being off when the major is locked in?
faze does look shit rn, but liquid are playing better than ever

>from 2-0 to 2-3
>losing the last chance to Lulquid
>-rain
I-I...

breathe out magog

>>1966115
>well rmrs are certainly not about consistent performance
Exactly. Which is why I love the idea of the VRS. If you have good performances over the course of the season you deserve to go the the world championship. But clearly Valve needs to fix their shit.

LIQUIDKINGS WE ARE SO BACK

>>1966108
my problem is that it's impossible for a team to drop out of top 20 unless they start skipping everything
liquid fully deserved to be out of top 30, they were horrible, but due to them losing literally everything VRS heavily compensates each of their wins even if they're against dogshit opponents
meanwhile you have teams like Gentle Mates, 9INE, OG who started from the dregs and have to win 90% of their games to even sniff a major invite, and even then they get punished.
horrible broken system.

>>1966113
JUST IN! Twistzz transfer cancelled in a shocking U-turn! Source: my dad works for hltv

>>1966121
ah, fair, yea it's not perfect yet for that purpose

MIDKY IS SO FUCKING BACK BROS

not a single good f0ze performance today

2-0 to 2-3

damn... that ruins my bet for today
good thing I still have this to hold onto

>giving exit interview to new guy
this is low

Faze full disband and just buy entire Liquid roster

liquid stage 3 invite ez

kek what an interview

>>1966133
>hey man give your own exit interview after you just lost to the guy we're replacing you with
I got no respect left for karrigan and rain

0-2 to 3-2 vs 2-0 to 2-3 kek, I saw it coming too when it became apparent they were going to get mongolz in their 4th match but liquid making it to playoffs is a cool surprise, hope vp makes the full comeback too

elige was the problem

>>1966141
true

>>1966124
>and even then they get punished
here's the most egregious example of today:
B8 have been in top 30-25 range for some time, just sitting there not moving too much in either direction
PARIVISION have been on a massive hot streak, like 95% winrate in the last 2 months, and they don't have any LAN wins

but B8 get more points BECAUSE THEY LOST MANY GAMES
THEY HAVE EXACT SAME VRS RANKING BUT B8 GET MORE BECAUSE THEY FUCKING SUCKED AND THE SYSTEM WANTS THEM BACK WHILE PARIVISION GET PUNISHED SINCE THEY'RE WINNING TOO MUCH AND HAVE TO REPLACE WINS WITH WINS
I don't care about PARIVISION, but this is horrible, it pisses me off.

>>1966144
that's fucking retarded

If Liquid get to the major and NiP doesn't Valve's offices deserve to shot up.

>>1966124
to be fair they would've been out if not for fpg 2, and they are only here because several top teams declined the invite, if 1 more of them accepted they wouldn't be here and they had similar kind of luck in blast london with just enough teams having visa issues

>>1966149
liquid is 100% guaranteed now
top 16 eu goes to major

>>1966149
rinkle and snappi are so fucking garbage there is no way they make it to the major

>>1966148
If VP are winning this game vs PaiN, they will 100% make it to major while have FOUR LAN WINS
IN THE ENTIRE SEASON
FOUR LAN WINS IN 4 MONTHS
>>1966151
They wouldn't be out because Liquid also have Birch Cup and Fragadelphiea where they would still gain like 70 points per win vs fucking Getting Info and Shimmer

>>1966130
mental how bad karrigan is

Imagine if people watched cs tournaments for other reasons besides vrs points??

>>1966159
Name 3 reasons why Virtus.pro deserve a major spot while Gentle Mates do not

Are we watchan? It starts in less than 2 hours.

>>1966156
you lose so few points when you lose, and if you're on a lose streak and then win a single game you're already back to +-0

>>1966158
horrible calls horrible shooting rain decided to retire because he realized karrigan will never be replaced

why was faze mongolz closer?

All this fucking suffering because that fat fuck magixx lifegamed and stole rain's 2nd major. rain and karrigan would've retired, broky and ropz would take over FaZe, everything would be fine and happy.
I want to life in the timeline that the obese piece of shit didn't cosplay as donk.

>>1966164
Exactly, that cluster of teams ranging from top 10 to top 20 is virtually unbreakable since they win and lose vs each other and average a 0 overall, and no other team can get into that range without pulling the fluke run of the ages from the closed qualifiers to grand finals of some $1.000.000 LAN

>>1966174
I want to live* shaking and crying nr I cna't type

>>1966168
>horrible calls
3rd highest T-side winrate in top 30

was it a beautiful last good bye to rain?

>>1966160
gentle mates are losing to dogs in online qualifiers and on lan bro

>>1966174
agree
but nothing to do about it now
just like you can't go back and un-hire elige

>>1966179
Gentle Mates/Iberian Soul have 80% winrate in last 3 months
VP have 33% winrate in last 3 months

>>1966183
because they farm some fucking dogshit portugese lan

Pro CS died today....

>>1966154
how is that guaranteed when 3 LAN wins can earn you like 300 points?

>>1966161
Bros. Are we watchan?

Replay system just dropped and its so goood

Riot’s finally added a replay system to Valorant. Honestly, I think it’s just a nice little quality-of-life thingy. Nothing crazy, but feels like something the game should’ve had a while ago. It’s dropping with Patch 11.06 and comes with stuff like free-cam, speed controls, and POV swapping. :) What do you guys think?

>>1966188
no
fuck off

>>1966190
Why are you such a meanie? :(

>>1966185
This is the 9/11 of CS...

>>1966183
their lan winrate is certainly not that good, that's what is most important and they are playing teams far below their level, vp are at least occasionally getting wins against actually good teams on lan and are constantly getting top dogs in their first matches so the losses aren't as punishing

>>1966184
Because they're not getting invited anywhere more prestigious due to dogshit teams like Liquid, VP, SAW hogging the invites while being an easy 0-3 bet for most of the season
By the time they finally got anywhere close to the invite zone it was already too late, and the dogshit I mentioned above just gets rewarded for fluking some wins, further deleting any chances they had at getting a sticker

>>1966144
i guess pari has no chance of making majors because of this. they would have to win the tournament to get bounty bonus.
actually impossible to rise quickly in vrs rank.

Only one man can save the VRS

>>1966196
What's the 9/10 of CS?

>>1966196
>the 9/11 of CS
makes sense why nertz was having a party

>>1966199
you are spanish and gentle mates can't even get top 5 at draculan
you got sunpaypal already at the major be happy

>>1966144
>throw meaningless games to tank the win%
>lock in against LAN opponents just before the major
>VRS goes up by massive amounts

As I mentioned in the post above, Gentle Mates have considerably less chances at even attempting to win vs actually good teams unlike VP and Liquid
Those teams get to live on the past glory and having a good day would secure them invites for plenty of tournaments without any tier-2 grind purely because of how this dogshit VRS works
>>1966205
I am Russian, I just hate that Valve do nothing to improve this obviously flawed system

he just lost his job and cs lost one of its most legendary orgs due to not securing sponsors and yet he seethes about pgl having to change dates to ensure t1 teams are able to attend bucharest. he think it should be disallowed and wants top 20-40 teams exclusively to attend a 1.25m event instead and doesn't realize the implications of that would be bankruptcy after sponsors say what the fuck is this shit, or alternatively he's well aware and sullying pgl's name to help esl push them out of the circuit, either way he's not someone who should be employed by valve, by the way you should look at his twitter and his podcast to realize just how unpleasant he is as a person too.

>>1966242

>due to not securing sponsors
You can't secure gambling sponsors in America

>>1966287
I didn't say gambling sponsors?

>>1966294
Gambling sponsors are the single most important ones in esports. Nobody else pays as much as them. If the law had allowed for coL to get Stake, 1xbet and co to sponsor them I guarantee they'd still have a team.

>>1966243
>he seethes about pgl having to change dates to ensure t1 teams are able to attend bucharest. he think it should be disallowed and wants top 20-40 teams exclusively to attend a 1.25m event
You mean that little thing where teams committed to playing in 2 different tournaments at the same time? The part where the only way to make that happen is intentionally losing to get to Chengdu in time?

Twistzz and Kursy trying to give their teams the best results possible before leaving

gl had so much bullshit luck rounds lol

kino

How come every big streaming platform allows you to rewind live streams and twitch still hasn't caught up yet? It's been 20 fucking years.

kursy is almost okay this tournament

>>1966243
This you?

>>1966308
yea, but that isn't relevant to what I was talking about, in his podcast right after complexity shut down operations he said jason lake was travelling to every event talking to anyone he could trying to talk them into sponsoring him.
>>1966315
not really, they were aware things could change to make it happen or you would only see a few losers guaranteed to not make playoffs say yes, with everyone involved wanting to make it possible it was bound to happen

>next map is nuke
sorry GL
you might've beaten them on shitferno if you got overpass, but I don't see you winning this one

really unfair rating for device, he won several ct rounds
i guess he lost a clutch or two or something

>>1966332
I don't use twitter, and it's not hard to grasp this concept, most people can put 2 and 2 together

>>1966333
>they were aware things could change
No shit nigger. They held the event hostage with the implied threat of undermining its competitive integrity. They counted on PGL folding like they always do and Valve once again letting a TO get away with breaking the rules.

>>1966342
you think pgl wanted dog teams instead? get real idiot, everyone wanted this outcome, the only reason it even became a problem is that esl decided to hold their event in the place furthest away from romania as possible in order to guarantee it became one

>>1966336
>rating
lol
don't care. device looked stellar

bros what's our response to valorant? is our game on the way out?

>>1966363
valorant viewership is decreasing

>>1966349
It is completely reasonable to criticize Valve for allowing TOs to repeatedly break their rules and PGL to break rules for their own benefit.

>>1966363
tell me why I should care, you disgusting freak

>>1966367
That's because those are legitimate numbers (not botted).

OH NONONNONONO

>>1966332
What's up Graham

>>1966376
Not much senpai. Finna sign with Valve today and bust over TOs kneecaps ya feel me dawg?

>>1966383

>>1966385
That's good that he's barely managing better stats while playing against tier-3. Congrats, I guess?

>1966386
keep coping

>>1966370
it's also reasonable for a tournament organizer to fight for their survival when other ones attempt to bully them out. though looking at the 2026 calendar it seems they will get their wish granted and us viewers will have less entertaining tournaments to watch, sabotaging the scene for next to no gain then who knows maybe the saudi's decide they no longer want to operate esl at a loss and all of a sudden only blast remains and we'll have the same number of relevant lans a year as valorant

>>1966389
Sorry everyone I'm new here, I meant to reply to >>1966386

>>1966393
>it's also reasonable for a tournament organizer to fight for their survival when other ones attempt to bully them out
Sure if they stuck to the rules.
>us viewers will have less entertaining tournaments to watch
The fuck you mean? We'll have way more big lan tournaments than ever.

navi lose starladdder and disband

>>1966400
they will be less entertaining because t1 teams will attend less of them with all the overlaps, just like no one will be watching starladder over fpg 2 playoffs no one will watch pgl events over esl/blast ones featuring most top teams. unless pgl are allowed to change dates slightly only 1 of their events are able to be attended by those teams, look at the huge gap between s-tier events when every pgl event except cluj napoca is excluded

remember when we said he's overhyped?

>>1966447
is there really only one event in february?

>wake up
>faze 0-2 liquid
LMAO

>>1966454
wasnt even close either

>>1966452
that's not the worst since krakow starts on january 31st, october however may as well have 0 events since none of those pgl events can be attended

>>1966447
>t1 teams will attend less of them with all the overlaps
T1 won't attend less events, there will just be less events which ALL T1 teams attend. That's a good thing as far as I can tell. More varied matchups and a healthier T1.5/2 scene. I don't watch tournaments because all the top teams are there, I watch because my team is playing and as long as the matches are entertaining it's a win in my book. Also fuck the cabal.

>>1966448
I never doubted, the only question among true cs aficionados was whether he was going to be the best player in the world or second best after donk

>>1966448
yes
still is

>>1966447
wtf why is katowice in krakow

>>1966495
katowice is kill

>>1966495
Katowice is a small boring industrial town, so it's no surprise the 4th biggest event of the year is getting transferred to Krakow
>>1966500
AFAIK there will be "IEM Katowice" still though it's gonna be a sister to Chengdu and Dallas events.

>>1966500
>>1966503
F
Kato was always my favourite event. Had that combination of being one of the big ones and being right at the start of the year before I lose interest.

VP should disband if they lose this bo3.

What dildos do you guys use? Heard it's a good place to ask.

>>1966519
they lost vs pain for major playoffs quals

>>1966523

vp and pain joke teams, neither deserves to make playoffs

ez for yatoro never doubted

You guys watched that prx vs gx game? That was a nice one.

>I think the problem with the VP team is that the rounds are too fast. Going out at 20 seconds is stupid. You need to do it at 5 seconds, so you can stand for a second in front of a fresh smoke and then go to the save
>I don't understand what's wrong with coaches in CS, especially in the CIS (except for Halli, he seems to be the only one who was told pauses are free). Have pauses become paid or what? There's this asshole Finn, his team couldn't take a round on attack with 8-4, he used one pause, and even then, he called the round they lost. Well, take another one, tell me, he sees that VP are sucking cocks. Apparently, he has zero ideas.

what are nfts used for?
cs skins are for cs. on valve servers you can only use (and appear to have) skins you own, just verified through valve, no blockchain required. nfts are a problem in search of a solution. if I look up the shit that bought og, it says this
>What are Fan Tokens?
>Fan Tokens™, innovated by Chiliz and launched in 2019, are official Digital Assets for the world’s best sport teams. Collectively they form the biggest Digital Asset class in sport, and the biggest sports network in Blockchain.
>Why do you need them?
>By integrating Fan Tokens™ into your dApp, you can access an engaged audience of 2M+ wallets, scale your project to millions more, and leverage the power of the biggest names in sport.
for og specifically it says
>The $OG Fan Token recently became the first esports Fan Token to surpass a $100 million market capitalization, driven by surging global demand for digital fan assets. Having delivered exclusive voting rights, VIP experiences, merchandise, and direct access to the team for fans worldwide, $OG represents a thriving $100m+ digital fan economy.
>With Chiliz as our majority partner, we can scale our teams, grow our global community, and unlock a new dimension of engagement through the $OG Fan Token. We’ve always believed that fans should be at the centre of everything we do, and now we have the tools and the backing to make that vision a reality
it's complete fucking nonsense. everyone involved except the crypto guys would be better off with a paid fan club a la patreon. cheaper because of the lack of speculation-overhead, recurring revenue instead of a one-off investment, not a limited-run that might over- or underaccount for demand, able to pivot payment processors, price, etc. at any time instead of being locked to some platform and obligated to honor it. no fan is excited about the crypto aspect of it, unless they're hoping to speculate and make money

You missunderstood the point reatrd-kun. I am against RMRs and Fissure essentially being an RMR for Liquid.

wtf is this??? these guys are running the next major btw

>>1967362
they're doing it as cheap as possible because they know nobody will watch anything but the first day, aside from tomorrow fpg matches will be happening at the same time

>>1967362
>these guys are running the next major btw
who cares? why would you shell out on top talent when the only top team to show up is navi?
and even if you tried, why would top talent say yes when they probably have bigger event to do/prepare for?

>>1967377
Just saying this is Starladder's big return to running CS tournaments and not only did they completely gut their first event but are also hiring bottom of the barrel talent (aside from Frankie (she cute)). Their next event is the major so we all better hope this goes by without tech problems otherwise I fear the major will be one giant clusterfuck.

>>1967387

???

>>1967396
Starladder gutted the event in terms of format.

>complaining about nothing this hard
you should go for a walk

>>1967408
Moving the useless part online and returning the classic "straight into playoffs" format is still not a gutting

>>1967400
kek this

>>1967413
Moving an entire group stage to online is gutting an event. The original intention by Starladder was to have this as a test run for the Major. They will not get to use this gimped playoff to actually stress test their operation, Starladder will make Blast look like a professional TO. Also don't forget that Starladder got bought by Indians :)

>>1967425
It isn't, it's just a different format to what you're used to. Replace that qualifier with direct invites, nothing changes.

3.0 lowered his event rating to 1.09, i think it was like 1.14 on 2.1
feels like they would've given it to monesy with 3.0 rating
but his overall rating was still only low because he started the event with 3 really bad games and after that the carried in most games. a good example of deserving mvp even though someone else had higher event rating.

>>1967929
he got benched in a very bad timing, still weird how no one picked him up though

>>1967899
Niko tweeted against it too
How come they have to play on the new update though? I thought tournaments play the whole thing on the same patch usually

>>1967955
I know that fissure 1 stuck with the pre ct economy changes patch even though that patch came either right before or during like first days of the tournament.
so no idea why.

>>1968074
surprisingly good production, already better than fissure at least
comfy hotel vibes

VRS is so broken. Pari and B8 had same VRS points but Pari only got +30 points for winning while B8 would've gotten +80.

>>1968088

>>1966144

>>1968086
It's fine but it feels very low budget. The casters and analysts seem to be at home? Only Banks is there to interview after games.

>>1968091
This system is broken. Does everything it can to prevent good teams from rising while it helps shit losing teams to get all points back from winning a single game.

>>1968086
definitely not, you can't really believe this, they're too cheap to fly out anyone but banks, very bad signs for the major to be honest with mostly off-site c tier talent and online group stage

why doesn't teams like heroic or gl choose starladder over fissure? would've been so much easier to get at least 2nd.

>>1968095
>why didn't they force talent to accept invites
>why didn't they bother flying the whole cast out for a tournament with a single top 20 team
for the caliber they've got, it's a great tournament already

>>1968095
I think it's fine but it feels very cheap considering it's supposed to be a $500k prizepool tournament.

This feels like a $50k lan or something.

>>1968098
it's fine for what it is, but no it's not better than fpg 2, the signs are bad mostly because they can't even run a small lan smoothly and had to dismantle it into online and lan portions. obviously they will splurge out for the major and everyone relevant will be there but it's worrisome since it'll be so much bigger and they couldn't handle it this event

>>1968109
I think they thought they would get 4 top 20 teams from the VRS invites and get viewers. But then everyone went to Fissure instead and they're left with Navi + t2 teams so they cheaped out on production.

>>1968093
it's more that there's a limit to how much you can rise by farming t3 eu, and that that limit isn't enough to get you into the eu big leagues

it's probably a decent way to encourage investment in LANs outside of EU

>>1968121
But PV only got 30 points for that game while B8 would've got +80. That's retarded.
It's like how Liquid and VP and got 80 points per game and now are guaranteed major after they were about to drop out.

>F_1N after VP's elimination from FISSURE PLAYGROUND 2 — CS: "We changed roles, captains, and a new player from the academy joined us. What are you expecting?"
unc got attitude

>>1968126
Well they got everything they wanted anyway. Major spot.

>>1968071
-teses

I think a lot of people's complaints with the VRS boil down to the death of T2 events.

>>1968075
He was good before, hit or miss lately, but apparently that 13-1 vs G2 and horrible management that skipped both Dallas and Melbourne last season planted the seeds of doubt

>>1968137
>the death of T2 events.
???
we're watching one

>>1968137
Im mostly annoyed that the reason for teams to play in tournaments went from "lets win for the sake of fun, fans + money" to "lets win vrs points, fuck this tournament otherwise"

>>1968147
Literally who gives a shit
Also fun and fans were never in consideration, it was about money and now it's about money and vrs

>>1968149
Dont you get tired of watching vsr chasing teams or people following the match only because "oh boy vrs points WOOOO"

who?

>>1968150
No, I am happy people in tier-2 finally have a very clear pipeline to events, meaning matches are a whole lot more meaningful for both orgs and players. No more Sangal in 2024 who were raping tier-2 and got to #15 in VRS on CCTs alone without getting a single invite in.
And don't kid yourself, most tier-2 viewers were and still are mad bettors, I'd be surprised if even 1% of viewers do it purely for VRS points

>>1968155
>clear pipeline

>>1968161
Correct
Score high in VRS ranking = you get invited
As clear as you can get

>>1968155
Externalizing all match wins to be about the major is shit.
Like you have zero reason to watch cs matches outside of majors.
After the major the cycle of every match being about getting to the major repeats again.

It's retarded.

>>1968162
So then explain how VRS is clear.

>>1968123
it's not retarded, it's that pv has like 50% more maps played, they've been grinding a lot, so in essence the system thinks they're at their somewhat correct rank (for online play, anyway), b8 hasn't so it's more swingy

the liquid and vp thing is a consequence of the difference in weighting of LANs and online. cause they were ranked high, they got invites, but lost a lot and thus have been losing places. they just eventually got a match they can win. neither are guaranteed the major

the real problem is the lack of LAN matches for the top 30, well, top 50. the scene is slowly switching to LAN, but there's some rough edges

>>1968172
Yes, it's retarded. It rewards bad teams by giving them chances to get all their points back after losing 500 games.

there's no point engaging with retards like this, they just want to complain and in this case he made up a scenario in his head and is now mad about it. only the teams at the threshold of making or not making a tournament cares about every vrs point, otherwise it's the same as always they play for pride and money, you just need to be within a certain rank at invite cutoffs to get the chance to

>>1968166
VRS is a combination of 5 factors:
LAN wins: all teams have a budget of 10 most recent LAN wins.
Opponent network: The opponent network represent how many different teams a team has won against recently. The factor is a value between zero and one, where 1 means the team is amongst the most valuable teams to beat. More valuable team = the team that beat a lot of different teams. The bigger the prizepool of the event = better bonus.
Bounty offered: 10 best money prizes, i.e. the more money you won, the more points you get.
Bounty collected: same as before, 10 wins against the teams that offer the most bounty i.e. won more money
Head-to-head: If a team with a low ranking beat a team with a high ranking, they will earn many points. And on the other hand: if a team with a high ranking beat a team with a low ranking they will only gain little points. It is constantly recalculated. Example: BIG won vs Falcons and started their raping streak of 50 games, so VRS is recalculated to soften Falcons' loss of VRS points since BIG were better than the system expected. Vice versa is also applicable, where Falcons lose more because they won vs BIG who then went and lost 50 games to Portuguese mixes in a row

>>1968175
what do you want to happen? liquid were top 10 and got a bunch of invites, do you want to rescind every tournament invite they got after bombing out of one LAN? do you not want to reward LAN play, and instead have pv be top 1 for farming online? do you want 1 LAN loss to be -100 points, so teams can struggle online to get to LAN, then due to seeding play vitality mongolz and get sent back to online purgatory?

also, liquid didn't get all their points back. for beating heroic they got basically the same amount of points b8 would've got if they beat pv. but liquid did win 3 matches on LAN, vs teams ranked 9, 11 & 18. what's wrong with them being 16 after that?

pv's problem is that they have just been farming online. they need to go to LANs. the scene needs more LANs, with more matches in them

>>1968189
But PV only got +30 for a lan win. So your entire argument stops working there.

>>1968189
Yes they should lose all invites for losing.

It's not ideal, obviously I'd want some additional punishment for Virtus.pro and Liquid for having lossstreaks and additional rewards for BB and PARIVISION winstreaks to accelerate the downfall and accelerate the rise, but it's a lot more clearer and fair than EG literally buying a spot in prestigious tournaments despite being a top 50 team while good tier-2 mixes are just in the background and have to rely on Minors/RMRs to show their worth

>spending all this energy replying to a guy who just wants to complain about anything and everything
wouldn't be surprised if he's been laughing his ass off the last 16 hours

>>1968189
I want Liquid to be punished a lot more harshly for skipping tournaments all season long and losing to other teams in.the tournaments that they graciously decided to visit. Nobody forced them to not attend any PGL events and FPG 1.

>>1968190
you can find out why by reading the tweet that was linked to you, last reply

>>1968197
I know that VRS sucks.

>>1968190
it's already been explained why they got +30. they're replacing a good online win with a shit LAN win, and because they've played so much they're not in a swingy state.
they needed to play LANs

Why do we have paid VRS shills here?

>>1968191
who do you invite to the tournament instead, and when? visas are a thing

>>1968196
skipping tournaments is a bit shit, but you can't force teams to go to every tournament they get an invite for

>>1968200
countering the paid vrs hater

zywoo isn't even #2 anymore

>>1968197
>>1968199
Except that tweet says that the LAN component is utterly irrelevant in that case since B8 also don't have 10 LAN wins.
PARIVISION's problem is that they're in VRS elohell due to having a massive backlog of +20/-20 games that punish their future gains, which is evident by them being top40-30 dwellers for over 6 months. Since they started winning more this season, eventually their elo will be calibrated to be a lot more forgiving and they will reap big VRS gains in the future.
>>1968201
You can't force them, it is true, but Liquid shouldn't be able to keep their top 20 spot with a few wins while having a sub-50% winrate for 3 months.

this but karrigan

>>1968273
elige better

>>1968274
Fire whoever scouted karrigan? That dude is like 60 by now probably

>>1968270
to be fair they missed out on scouting siuhy so the recruiters are probably pretty bad

>>1968277
>they missed out on scouting siuhy
that just tells me they're good lol

>>1968279
good at disbanding maybe

>>1968280
Twistzz IGL: 48.3% T-side winrate (Top 30)
siuhy IGL: 45.7% T-side winrate (Top 30)

>>1968284
twistzz igl'd when t side was better

>>1968285
siuhy has comparable T-side winrate to Snappi, electroNic, Brollan
Twistzz had comparable T-side winrate to Jame, stanislaw, ztr

>>1968289
46% now is better than 48% when twistzz igl'd

>>1968292
siuhy's Liquid are ranked 23rd out of 30 teams in terms of T-side winrate
Twistzz's Liquid were ranked 20th out of 30 teams

>>1968295
how many times did twistzz igl beat faze?

>>1968270
>whoever scouted jacobbb
karrigan's wife
>whoever signed off on the deal
karrigan

>>1968296
Twistzz IGL never lost to AquaRS who has 14 recorded HLTV games

floppy has always been irrelevant though

>>1968340
no, monesy keeps reposting them and I cant turn off instagram notification despite never going on this garbage normalfag app.
It's like he's taunting her or something, considering he's spent more time with Niko in the last 3 than she did.

>>1968326
yea this is bad, starladder better hope they get more than just paid by esl, they're gonna want their staff or this coming major will be a mess
