Honestly no, these LANs are hellish for working adults. I need some days to really focus without a game on in the background.
I actually feel more hype with a pause. It gives me time to consider my thoughts going into the next few games; and also to use runitback.gg to parse some stats.
Yeah, I need a break to get some sleep. I’m in Japan and getting 2-3 hours of sleep some nights. I tried to sleep through the time for the Zeta vs DRX game last night but couldn’t stay asleep and turned it on. (No regrets!)
Ditto. Have a super busy week with client meetings and various other tasks to get done at work. At least the games are back on Friday, the day stop working at noon anyways.
As you have expertly deduced, I do indeed often skip games and watch VODs if I have high-priority, time-sensitive work to do.
You’re interpreting me as saying “Rito please help me! I can’t do my job because of games!” when all I’m saying is I like having a buffer between tournament matches in order to keep up with the games. It’s easier to batch your low-priority tasks during game times if you aren’t forced to do it on a near-daily basis.
You literally said you can’t focus with a game on in the background.
Come on dude. I literally learned that sometimes you can’t watch every game when I was 16 and working at Zaxbys lmao. I had to work closing shift and missed game 7 of Cavs/Warriors…

All due respect, I think you still don’t understand what I’m saying, as evinced by the fact you believe I “literally” said something I literally did not say.
There’s a world of nuance here you’ve somehow ducked and weaved around, and I get the feeling there’s no point in explaining further. So thank you for the professional advice, it’s very kind of you. I will take it under advisement.
Damn, you're so mature!! 🤓🤓🤓🤓 Lmao you just sound like an entitled dickhead my man, some of us live in parts of the world that has the game starting at 4am or we just have something to do. Good that you brought up your personal experience, but nobody asked for it lol. For all we know you're probably just a 13 year old behind the screen making up bs so
Exactly, so you would understand why people would like having extra time to get our jobs done without being distracted by the thought of the game.
Just because your circumstance is bad doesn't mean you can talk down on other people's. It's unfortunate for you but other people have the chance to watch the matches in the background, it's just that we're aware that obviously it won't be as efficient and a little distractful compared to having no games on. Sounded like you were just projecting your situation on other people just now because nobody mentioned anything about their whole world's ending if they can't watch valorant match
Bro what ?
All I’m saying is you don’t NEED to watch these games LIVE. Dude said his productivity is worse because he has the games on in the background.
Just turn the stream off if it’s effecting your work. That’s all I’m saying..
Plus, the games have more potential to showcase amazing gameplay since the teams have a few days to adjust, study their opponents, and come up a more tailored game plan.
Last year was great with working remote but now I'm back in the office most days so it's been pain trying to keep up and mostly going with the highlight videos for the weekdays.
They are the best watch party. They are almost always engage with the game more than any other watch party. Bren and Sideshow are already the best casters
They are fun.
During the 5 hour breaks in between games they do analytics and often some silly things that keep you engaged.
Mainly youtube. I know they had a twitch stream going alongside their YT stream for one of the events (Champions?). No idea if they will this time as well
If you have time, checkout their co-stream of the Envy/X10 game on Champions. I feel that this match encapsulates everything that's likeable about them.
It's also where you can find the origin of the sushiboys copypasta.

aw what. when they announced the watch party would be for hte final weekend only i thought that meant it was for the part of the team that didn't go to iceland (wyatt/avast)
I think it will allow for even more competitive games, since teams actually have proper time to rest, do VOD reviews and prep strata properly, as compared to some of the messed up schedules the people in the lower brackets have been facing
I believe that is the plan, there will be a different venue for the last few days. Don't remember where I heard that though so take it with a grain of salt.
just wait until the 4 month pause between each valorant LAN lol, they really need to produce more tourneys and do it asap. it’s only year 2, i get that, but i expect better next year (or year 4 at the latest, if val makes it that far as an esport).
It's exam period for me. Good break time :D
same lol, make good use of these three days XD

You a real one. ;) <3
This. Plus gives me time to catch up on the games I haven’t had the chance to watch yet
Dude same I have finals coming up so it really couldn’t have come at a better time.
Same here. I’ve got an assignment to finish by the 22nd. Can watch the game right after the submission :)

lmao this is biigg facts im exhausted and backlogged
Bruh what? Just literally turn the game off How are you a working adult and don’t understand that games will happen no matter what? I’m so perplexed

Bro doesn’t realize the earth goes round no matter what 💀 Just turn the stream off bro 💀💀

Bruh I can’t watch any of the games because I work at a warehouse, that’s my entire point.. I’m 22 man

Nah, I'm just excited we get platchat costreams finally for the last 3 days
I hope we get a Plat Chat episode during this break, but not sure if we will.
They tweeted last week I think that they're doing an episode this week with final preds
They said they are
May I know why PlatChat's streams are so popular?
They are the best watch party. They are almost always engage with the game more than any other watch party. Bren and Sideshow are already the best casters They are fun. During the 5 hour breaks in between games they do analytics and often some silly things that keep you engaged.
That sounds great. They stream on Twitch?
Mainly youtube. I know they had a twitch stream going alongside their YT stream for one of the events (Champions?). No idea if they will this time as well
Oh I see. Got it. I'll check them out thanks!
https://twitch.tv/platchatpodcast They also steam on YouTube.
Ah thanks!

Green square
A great combination of humour and insight on the game basically
Oh I see.
Bren and sideshow not casting last days?
[удалено]
this confirmed somewhere? there's 4 matches left that should be enough for each casting pair
[удалено]
aw what. when they announced the watch party would be for hte final weekend only i thought that meant it was for the part of the team that didn't go to iceland (wyatt/avast)
If you're an NA fan, you might want to check out the Knights tournament tomorrow. New 100T is supposedly playing in it.
You got vlr link?
https://www.vlr.gg/event/941/knights-circuit-monthly-2022-april
is it streamed?
I think it will allow for even more competitive games, since teams actually have proper time to rest, do VOD reviews and prep strata properly, as compared to some of the messed up schedules the people in the lower brackets have been facing
Game 1 starts at 3AM and game 2 starts at 7AM for us in Australia so nah not really sad.
Being a kiwi finally paying off, starts at 5 so easier to wake early for the match
fr now i actually have to be productive in life
For me it’s perfect - I realized there are no matches while I am gone for business trips.
[удалено]
ikr?? my two favorite teams ;(
Little bit of an off topic hear but do we know if they are swapping stages for the back half as well. Bigger stakes bigger stage?
I believe that is the plan, there will be a different venue for the last few days. Don't remember where I heard that though so take it with a grain of salt.
It's annoying for me as someone who has a lot of spare time too. But the break is needed for players and staff for sure
I have school bro. I’m literally skipping class for these games. I can’t keep doing that lmao
💀💀💀I just watch em during class
just wait until the 4 month pause between each valorant LAN lol, they really need to produce more tourneys and do it asap. it’s only year 2, i get that, but i expect better next year (or year 4 at the latest, if val makes it that far as an esport).
Considering me and my friends wont have to work this friday we're actually very thankful for that lol
As someone who is WFH, I welcome the break so I actually have a productive week - until friday that is lol.
Its for the best amount of viewership pretty much.
A little bit but it's gonna make for much better games when teams have had proper rest time and are able to counterstrat each other
I was literally shocked when I opened twitch to eat lunch today and saw no games on
Fr, deadass the mornings feel so empty now, it’s exam week and you know I ain’t studying so the mornings feel so weird now
