@NateMan360 @ChaiDeluxe im youst going to say this but even with the old system bots would often have an easier time then humans with it, i dont know how many times i failed because i did not know how many pixels of the bike needed to be in each frame to count as a frame with bike in

@FelixiousZheng you'd think for someone trying to build a streaming audience you'd at least link it on your profile somewhere people would see it straight away
English
But you know how it is. No one cares about small independent male streamers anymore. I wish it wasn't the case. I want to build a community for myself and have so much to give, but no one gives me the time of day.

@DShyKnock why is this an alarm bell? cs is a much bigger esport that has 20 years of history ahead of valorant, comparing valorant events to previous events would indicate a problem not to a completely different game.

Quick viewership thoughts on the Cologne Major vs VCT Masters before anything is fully published tomorrow
CS Major: 627K average with 159 hours of airtime
VCT Masters: 382K average with 70 hours of airtime
The Major vs Masters prestige argument falls flat when it's 2 majors vs 3 VALORANT big events and Champs last year had lower viewership than the major
If you try to argue "where is China viewership" your team is in VCT Americas or Europe. That were viewership matters for your fanbase. If selling a mouse to China was more important you would do all in your power to move your team to China. Stop ignoring the locational importance of fandom.
Anyone trying to tell you that this isn't a massive alarm bell for VALORANT is coping hard. That number for CS is crazy for the amount of hours involved and the ball is in Riot's court to try and punch back

@IlyaSomin I think it's reasonable for a country to want to chose a more respectful term for use in an english language dominated international space, only morons are saying that english as a whole has to change it from turkey
English
The “Türkiye” thing is stupid. English-language names for countries often differ from their own usage (eg - Germany vs Deutschland). Ditto with other languages (eg the French call Germany “Allemagne”). No reason to change to satisfy hypersensitive nationalists. Indeed, a good rule of thumb is that nationalists are wrong about most things!

@CrewkerneGaz is this representative of @Channel4 ‘s stance on the current regime?

Keir Starmer is preparing to resign this morning, ending in humiliation after barely two years in office.
In dramatic scenes outside Downing Street, Jay from The Inbetweeners arrived to witness the fall of Labour’s shortest-serving Prime Minister.

@Bo_Hoogland people need to realise we’re in the same wider ecosystem, success of other games only helps the games you enjoy
English
The rage you see from bot accounts and genuinely brainwashed people on any post about Starmer is simply astounding. You’d think he’d walked down the street shooting white people the way people react.
Never mind, let’s get back to having ACTUAL crooks in No. 10!
Sam@SamCKx
If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated. On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades. After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced. We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...

@lookitsjusttoy The existence of cs helps valorant and visa versa, people need to view other games as helping build the wider esports scene not as rivals
English
I agree that CS is the better esport by a mile, but the comparison cannot be made as the masters event in terms of a CS stand point is just a tier 1 major while our CS major is their champions event.

@NaToSaphiX i think it comes from the success and age of the scene, 10 years ago only the top players made a living and that generations 30+ year old players from 1.6 would've already shelved cs years ago
English
It felt like 10 years ago, there was almost no pro player playing after the age of 30
Now today, we have a 35-year-old vs a 36-year-old in the Grand Final of a Major

@CptAntiCommie @sawyeurism pro abortion sure, it's good that the most common position is pro choice which isn't eugenics.

Regarding the discussion about Türkiye versus Turkey.
I love it when I’m politely asked whether it should be pronounced “Copenhaygen” or “Copenhaagen”.
We call the city “København”.
You can do whatever you like, and I have no preferences.
But seriously: I wouldn’t want you all to write and say “København”.
You don’t have the proper keyboards. And it’s really hard to pronounce if you didn’t grow up with it.
