why did you cut shylo

i don't want to discourage you with your decision, but you might want to look further with a psychology major, because it's really hard to get a job with just a bachelor's. i plan on getting a master's in counseling, which my advisors really recommended because of that.

with that said, lots of people don't know exactly what they want to do, so it isn't a huge deal, especially because you have an idea about what you want to do. skipping a year isn't gonna fuck you up though, talk with your family and do whats best for you.

imo, it's likely to be the same roster that won open last season, so it's not like they have zero synergy. grimm is really underrated on med, milter is the best scout this season, zilly is the best soldier this season, vaati is probably nearly as good as Moy, and their last two spots could be filled by either Rekuso, Vand, or they could get somebody else like they did with fuzion last season. KRIT might me better than s25 Muscle March which lost with double 5-3, so yeah im probably wrong to say that popo is clearly the best team, but I still think they are favorites against the top 4.

1. mr_popo - they will win once they care and have their invite roster to boot
2. KRIT eSports - high IM and invite experience, this team should be able to pull away and be #2
3. TwistedSinGG - invite projectiles and good scouts, plus Velocity doesn't look super strong anymore
4. Velocity Black - how did this team almost lose to Blanc??? they drop a spot... with that said 2-4 is all really close, so who really cares.
5. OMNI5 - legit team, 5-1 over AFP was a good victory. this team should beat everyone below them fairly convincingly
6. Alien Fighter People - they don't scrim much, but they should be able to pull together when it counts and beat all the teams below them somewhat reliably so long as they dont tilt.
7-12 - MLX, IWHBYD, The Asian 6, Blanc eSports, DragonWarrioir12, EVIL - all these teams are pretty close in skill level, rank them however you'd like. imo blanc is probably the best, EVIL is a crazy good roster though and have a lot of potential though. but it's all too close to call imo, its Da nosebleeds of OPIM, and I don't care too much to call who is better.
13. Faint Gaming Blue - it's kinda like brogrammers from last season, they should do well as long as they keep scrimming.
14. Frick eSports - how does no one talk about this team? ScrewBall is a lord, MKB plays around him well, and their scouts have a ton of potential if they don't play exclusively around screwb. super underrated.
15. Salty Seamen - probably underrating them tbh. i look at this roster and its not super impressive, but jag always finds a way to compete.
16. We Love Randal - idk, they seem pretty good to me. can't think of another team to put here lol
17. mankut

these power rankings aren't much better, but idk how @SpaceCadet you 1). rank Omni5 and AFP outside of the top 8, 2.) no popo at #1, 3.) have EVIL at #14 when you consider their new additions (they could easily be top 8), 4.) overrate MLX at #5 even though we beat them, and 5). even include bicken back bein bool. so i just made my own, feel free to agree/disagree.

dagger's loose cannon was the only reason we won that highly important scrim, we plan on unleashing it to 4-0 both Krit and popo, watch out

these sound like improvements to me. im not sold on 5v5, and i prefer the 10 min maps personally so you get more variety, but everything else sounds like straight improvements

when people who ring for your team are complete dicks, complain and whine, or actively throw in your scrim, but you can't tell them to quit their shit because they're doing you a favor. i can deal with that independently for thre most part and forgive later if it's extreme, but the combination is unforgivable, ill hate them forever.

jarlow doesn't deserve this

everyone on this team is relaxed and really good. replacing ambroon will be hard imo but a decent demo should bring them to the playoffs relatively easily barring a shitty schedule. burko's really cool, it'd be a great team to join.

i always thought his stream titles that said "Froyo_Robert_Cheeto" were memes, but it seems the meme is that he"s actually on froyotech.

Schedules got reshuffled it looks like. I wonder why

apparently marco and collier county took the brunt of the storm. it ended up turning east instead of hitting our shelter, but idk what happened over there. it wasn't as bad as I thought, but there is debris all over the place still. storm surge was pretty non-existant at my place.

other than that, it's just really hot rn, and the constant noise of "BRHHHEHEHEH"from generators is kinda driving me crazy.

all talk no action. this has been discussed for seasons, with ideas ranging from shorter point times to gigantic metal sky pootises, but if no one is willing to modify maps / host tournaments / play pugs with different rules, this problem will always exist. stop jacking off to the idea and actually try to fix it, these threads that aim to fix the "ultra flawed 5cp gamemode" are so annoying

high IM players / invite players also kinda ruined a few freakpugs, its hard to govern a site that only has open players without personally managing it. especially when most captains of newer players don't captain very well.

idk, mixchamp won't pick the best players added, so when I wasn't getting picked, I moved to pugchamp and had no problem getting picked. i don't see a problem with mixchamp right now outside of a lack of people playing it.
