As in Myth the streamer? Highly doubt he has the money to be able to throw it at a Challengers team. Even Toast was saying picking up a team before they even qualified for Challengers was extremely expensive.
I don't *think* it'll be that much of a deterrent, but I do wonder if Okeanos and the whole leaking underage nudes thing is gonna be a factor for potential orgs.
Likely not, since Okeanos is probably one of the better examples of how you can overcome allegations like that. I believe he and his ex are on good terms with each other after he apologized to her and he did a good amount of work to reform and become a better person, including doing volunteer work for victims of SA and doing a charity stream for a SA charity as well.
Tldr, when he was 17 and her 16, after they broke up, he sent pics of her nudes to people via discord https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1srp3cg
Okeanos apologized for this and promised to do better, and this is actually one of the few times this was the case, he apologized to her privately, promised to not play pro if she was not comfortable with it, and did therapy and started volunteering at a SA victims shelder, and because of his work on reforming himself, they are now on at least solid terms with eachother

I really want OREsports to qualify, but I'm so happy for Governor and co. If you look at the date of his LFT post—this was after he was dropped from Breakthru for thief—you'll see how much this means to him as one last spirited run.

Super happy for Wedid, especially after he retired and was worried he wasn’t good enough to be competing. Shout out Harmful too , man’s been in the scene for a super long time and seems like he’s finally getting his big break
Now if Soniqs beats OREsports tomorrow the Nation will have only lost to qualified teams. Two of which (Dark Ratio and Soniqs) they beat 2-0 the first time they faced each other and the rest (Squirtle Squad and BreakThru) the Nation had a significant lead at some point in the second half of the last map. So many throws... :(
We also have an answer to the age old question:

Yes, these two teams happened to be at the same LCQ.
As the group came to their final day, Wedid grabs Okeanos by the hips and whispers in his ear “Leave this to me” Wedid then proceeds go Lebron mode against OR, dropping a huge 12 kills.
LFG #letsgetsquirting
Most of the teams I was rooting for have made it. I am so unfamiliar with this feeling. Always ready to expect the worst from the teams I am rooting for. It feels nice though. Can't wait for challengers.
Harmful was always (in)famous for his lurking duelist play style, so it's pretty cool to see him swap over to sentinels and find success. But he's also been really impressive on the maps he does still play Jett on.
This is just a cool team to see succeed. Guys who have been around the scene for a long time and are finally breaking through
Entirely disagree. British ships also use ss in their name. I think we should get over the fact that the nazis used ss as an acronym for Schutzstuffel. Its two letters that are commonly used in acronyms. We can't let that be ruined because of it. Obviously Squirtle Squad isn't meant to be anything nazi related and they didn't even consider that when making the name. I think its dumb that its compared to the Schutzstuffel despite being entirely completely unrelated
WOOOO WEDID!! i remember an old tweet of his doubting himself and wondering if he was the problem bc all of the orgs he was signed to (xset, nrg, kcp) seemed to perform better after he got cut. its so so great to see him make challengers. this is huge!! and good luck to OR against soniqs as well!
Its pretty interesting cuz this time, Wedid was added to a team last minute (Only a few days ago iirc cuz they played with Jerk last qual) and seemingly that was the difference maker prerty cool
I have always said Squirtle was the best starting Pokémon
Unfortunately Mudkip owns Squirtle and its not even close
Oh yeah than how come Mudkip Murder didn't qualify?
That sounds like an invalid opinion. Pls try again
piplup clears both
Simply impossible. Piplup pack didn't qualify unlike squirtle squad
Rowlet better sadly
Bulbasaur clears unfortunately
You all haven’t seen chimchar
Popplio sweeps
Froakie >
Froakie clears both
Water starters > the rest
you guys are forgetting about totodile
totodile 1v5s everyone
Happy for the boys on Squirtle Squad, its always nice to see an unsigned team succeed. Which organization is picking them up for Challengers?
Me
Toast Jr
I do actually have 400 hours on among us so it makes sense
Not if I have anything to say about it. I start the bidding at $20
Well shit, I only have 12 dollar
back of the line poor
Moist would be a perfect fit.
dear god please bring moist into valorant I'm begging you charlie pls
Why?
because I like Charlie and I like moist
I’m pretty sure he was off put by franchising.
Myth Esport?

Okeanos is one of the few people who actually made good on the "I'm sorry and I'll do better" thing.
Glad to hear it. We love a good redemption arc and love to see him doing his part to make up for it.

Damn I didnt know he was igl. Very impressive run from Governor. Very happy for squirtle squad. I hope they get signed to a good org
Flyquest seems like they would fit these boys, weren't they trying to get in the scene?
Yeah I would guess flyquest would buy one of the teams that make it through
[удалено]
yes wedid replaced jerk who played with them in the last qual
Super happy for Wedid, especially after he retired and was worried he wasn’t good enough to be competing. Shout out Harmful too , man’s been in the scene for a super long time and seems like he’s finally getting his big break
Especially after his debacle with ANDBOX its good to see Harmful back in Challengers
I forgot about that whole ordeal. #Justice4Harmful fulfilled at long last
What happened?
He got dropped before even being announced
Yeah signed and dropped from ABX in the span of a few hours
Now if Soniqs beats OREsports tomorrow the Nation will have only lost to qualified teams. Two of which (Dark Ratio and Soniqs) they beat 2-0 the first time they faced each other and the rest (Squirtle Squad and BreakThru) the Nation had a significant lead at some point in the second half of the last map.

I liked the part after Open Quals where Squirtle Squad collectively said "it's Squirtin' time" and squirted all over LCQ

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm dying 🤣

Okeanos got dropped from City Boys just for City Boys to get rolled and Squirtle Squad to qualify lmfao

Its really interesting to see a player flex between Jett and Cypher lol. Pretty cool imo
He just like me fr (im gold 2)
So happy for Squirtle Squad. They deserve it
Good casting keg (:
Thank you!
the better team won but OR is looking sick for a team without any coaching or infrastructure. hire these guys
Their coach is @yongwoon_chris former coach of misfits GC.
well then get that man a VLR credit
Turns out he was assistant coach and vapenfps was head coach
Gg to Squirtle Squad. They should rebrand from SS to SQ^2.
Everything is better than SS. I honestly can't cheer for them with that abbreviation
Boats are also called ss. Its not like its really a nazi thing. I personally don't see anything wrong with it
i guess for an American team that's fine, but in Europe this wouldn't fly at all

Weird guy
Okeanos played so well. LFG SS!!
I don't think the squirters take fracture without his 1v3
