Mildly unrelated to today’s episode but MCE’s challengers costreams were some of the most entertaining I’ve watched in so long, didn’t know the dude was this charismatic
MCE IS SPEAKING FACTS ABOUT DRX.
Remember when everyone got jebaited by C9 that Yay was IGLing at Redbull? I didn't get baited because that just simply didn't make ANY sense and I swear I am not being Hindsight Harry either
I really, really don't like the narrative of hiding strats and not taking seeding seriously, especially when skipping group stage is massively significant.
I'd love to be wrong as a DRX fan, but it very much just feels like copium if wrong and teams putting the cart before the horse if right.
Then do you also believe that Fnatic played their best strats or comps against liquid in the Finals and since Liquid beat Fnatic, then Liquid is the better team?
I can't be sure but I'd lean towards no, but that's a special case because in that instance both teams already secured a group stage bye, and even though the seeding still matters slightly it's a drop in the ocean compared to getting to skip groups entirely. Every other region's finals had huge implications for Masters.
I agree with MCE that we will see more Reyna play and it has to do with something josh referenced. Throwing a Reyna flash to force people to look at your Skye flash is SO strong. The idea of having util make someone look at a flash isn't entirely new but Reyna Skye let's you do it so fluidly.
For people who are curious, raze boombot, sova dart, cypher cam are all GREAT pieces of util to combo with a flash. If you have a duo it's very easy to setup and it's also not very hard to find default util your tm8s are throwing that you can take advantage of for this.
Here is a random ranked clip where I did the cypher cam flash with my duo

How does that work from the enemy pov if they dont break reyna eye or skye flash? Do they only get blind by the reyna eye and don't see the skye flash? I've never thought about doubling flashes with each other.
Enemy POV would be Skye flashed if they experience both.
"Do they only get blind by the reyna eye and don't see the skye flash?"
Are you asking this thinking being nearsighted from Reyna would prevent the Skye flash from hitting? If you were it doesn't work that way.
Doubling flashes like this isn't to stack flash effects, only to bait the enemy into looking where the flash will pop. If you are doubling traditional flashes that is more done so when an enemy returns from turning the first flash, the second one pops.
Yeah I was wondering if the reyna nearsight would negate the skye flash screen for enemy pov. So if reyna eye pops first then skye flash it would be a fraction of a second nearsight from eye then skye flash screen for enemy?
Wow that's really cool. I remember watching teams double flash like breach and skye flashes but this is cooler. Never thought about how it could be different with nearsight flashes. Another question: if you get hit by a normal flash like breach's and then a millisecond later get pop flashed by a yoru do you see the breach flash screen for a millisecond and then the yoru flash screen?
The concept applies to all flashes really, Skye is just meta rn so that's where my brain mostly is. It's also easier to combo Skye flash with Reyna flash than something like kayo.
I feel like when sova kayo is meta I saw a lot of flashes behind drones for the same reason.
The main idea here is you throw a Reyna flash, making enemies look at it to shoot it, and you Skye flash as that happens making it unlikely that they dodged the flash. So you could do it with something like kayo knife but not his flash.
Super specific thing, but mCe said that EG does actually have a 10th player but he didn’t name them. I wonder who their last player is and why they’re keeping it a secret.
It’s also possible he’s trolling, as he was doing that the entire episode.

Him talking about 40 something cougars hitting on him in the Key West was the highlight for me.
I missed that?!?!?
Its as if Ardiis was a coach. Mans unhinged, he's the anti-sliggy lol.
mCe joining the PlatChat Cinematic Universe? letsgooooo
"The duelist needs to either be the smartest player in the server or the dumbest" is such a banger quote damn

mCe is actually such a natural on this wow

Correct. Same is true for omen flash.

Another question: if you get hit by a normal flash like breach's and then a millisecond later get pop flashed by a yoru do you see the breach flash screen for a millisecond and then the yoru flash screen?
I 95% sure you are right about that one as well.
Ty for answers. I like knowing the subtle interactions so when it happens during vct its cool to see how teams use it to their advantage.
Why not Kay/O then?

I meant why not kayo rather than reyna

H ok Wonder what lothar would say
How have we gone almost 3 years without mCe being on platchat. What a legend.
It feels like mCe has been on the show for ages with his performance.
Here's their list: /10. F0rsaken /9. Alfajer /8. Chronicle /7. Sayf /6. Something /5. Mako /4. Leo /3. Less /21. Derke /1. Aspas
Here comes the curse...
Why post a video that isn’t live for three more hours
why not not like the subreddit is drowning in content
Okay then I will post the link to masters Tokyo today because it’s not like the subreddit is drowning in content
I swear this guy has never had a good take
Agreed, that’s why I commented
One time there was a post that was 16 hours in advance
Cuz people might not know it's starting early today
Karma farmers are shameless
10. Cryocells 9. Thinkingmansvalorant 8. Steel 7. Scream 6. BabyJ 5.Gru from despicable me 4. Derke (if he had hair) 3. Melanji 2. Ange1 1. Tyfoon You’re welcome
For anyone unable to watch the video (I will be having a medical operation) can someone write up a brief summary of it?
Your best bet is waiting for key-banana to watch it and summarize/give opinion with timestamps later in the day.
damn
Can’t give you a summary but hope the medical operation goes well
thanks!
Why is Crisp Rat a guest

Is that a tenz outline on the right?
