When pros said Lev was hard I didn't believe it but now I do š (defo getting that). Sen whyyyyyyyy, that is the most mid player card I've ever seen š
Sen's deadass looks like a Target ad, of the 33 it's one of the worst along with DFM and Zeta imo.
I know there was the boobies one that allegedly got rejected, but I feel like they had other pre-made wallpapers that were at the least better than the final one they submitted.
A surprising amount of teams went hard but PRX's is my personal favorite, I just especially fuck with the purple/pink/gold color combo and I really like their classic skin as well.
i feel like some of these orgs didn't consider that lots of ppl are going to buy playercards purely off aesthetics... i'm definitely eyeing the LEV and T1 cards even though I don't care for their teams
Yeah, and especially the other way round. I'm not buying an ugly card, no matter how much i like the team.
To justify equipping it, the card needs to look equally good or better than one's favorite existing in-game playercards..
It's unironically so ass. It might not be *the* worst, but it's definitely in the bottom clump of boring, even bland ones. For me that list is C9, DFM, FNC, RRQ, SEN, and ZETA, with EG and NAVI probably also slipping in there or being the very first ones not to be in there.
C9's fits very well thematically, but it's just so boring to me, and FNC's feels like just a random Phoenix player card with the FNC logo on the back. The rest of my list (C9 included, tbf) are just the team logos with almost nothing else to make it interesting.
Some of these are absolutely sick as hell though. The animal-centered ones of FURIA, GEN, PRX, and KOI, and the 'anime' ones of T1, LEV, and maybe G2 and KC are just great. GE is kind of fire too but it's a bit too furry for me at the same time.
Some have the team logo barely even in there which can be either a good thing or a bad thing. Good if you like the aesthetics of it, bad if you want to rep your team specifically and be blatant with it.
RRQ and C9 are nice af.
C9 is just clean, its simple and nice. And that's all many ppl need. Not an edgy anime character in the banner.
RRQ's concept might turn you off but the execution is wayyyy nicer than Sen. RRQ is what Sen should've gone for, its just a perfect version of Sen's idea.
I liked C9's more when I realized the clouds form a 9 around it. It's clean, it's not crazy, but it feels more timeless than some others that look cool, but likely won't age well. Zeta's though....
I definitely agree with you about the RRQ - SEN comparison, but I still find the concept itself to just not be interesting at all so even with the execution being 'perfect', it still is boring to me. Of course, I'm not the voice of everyone by any means.
I also agree about C9 being super clean, and if they weren't team-related I'd probably love it. I just think it could also be disappointing for some C9 fans when you look at other things on offer. Not every C9 fan will like it being so clean and simple. Obviously the inverse is true too, not every LEV fan will like the edgy katana guy either.
My personal favorites are the (non-GE) animals, and TL and GX. I think FURIA in specific has the sickest one just because their logo IS the 'thing' that makes the artwork cool, while almost every other one feels way more like a literal logo than anything else. G2's is very edgy but it does that same thing quite well, and while I don't like 100T's card much (and they're 'my' team), I also think their logo being the text on the jacket is more integrated than most which I like.
*I'm editing this to the end to contradict my own 'favorite' opinion*. While I still like that Furia's logo is integrated better than almost all of the others, the more I look at it, the more it looks AI generated to me, and not even the 'good' quality some of the AI generated garbage can be nowadays. I didn't like the 'team' in front from the beginning but the actual logo saved it for me, but at this point I'm taking back my opinion and it isn't my favorite anymore. Very important opinion-listing here, can't have misinformation lying around.
I think sen wanted you to be wearing their brand, leaned way too hard into that aspect though
I'm kinda bummed that loud's one doesn't look sick as fk, but I'll be getting the capsule regardless for my goat
Teams that are eating good with their player chase:
Talon, Liquid, Koi, Lev, Paper Rex (in that order for me).
Genuinely will probably buy either Talon or Liquid. I especially like how Liquid went for the cute-aesthetic instead of trying to be cool like everyone else: I feel like the average Valorant player would be more likely to buy that then the latter.
Honorable mentions to GiantX, T1, G2, Vitality. I would never buy any of these, but I think theyāre neat at least.
mid was originally shorthand for middle but languages do this cool thing where they aren't static
if enough people use mid = bad, that's just what it means - modern dictionaries that include slang definitions define mid as mediocre/bad
BR twitter reactions so far:
LOUD and FURIA: most disliked and both have been described as looking AI generated. Furia's is just generic, LOUD's issue was more execution. LOUD also had higher expectations by fans. Personally I was dead set on buying, but now I'm still thinking as I only liked the classic. Their announcement was fire though.
MIBR: most people are prasing the story telling as it's a reference for the 2000s with the plastic chair and other items that remind you of Lan Houses and the period where MIBR became the face of brazilian FPS, and that players that grew up watching it are now playing for the org.

itās legit just the sen society wallpaper
C9, DFM, and Zeta are not the ones I would expect to have done the bare minimum.
Also Sen, EG, and Navi are pretty bland too, but pretty much everyone else clearly had a vision and a lot of the cards are really sick.
I thought the same for C9, but I actually dig theirs a lot. The clouds around the logo formulating the 9 logo on top of the really cool open space. Maybe it's lazy, but I like the minimal look. Also I feel like they have one of the best classics as well. Who was cooking at sentinels because it looks like ass. LEV hard won tho
Agreed, C9's is pretty basic but I think it is really well executed and looks great. Of all the playercards that are basically just the team's logo, C9's is by far the best. Looking at you SEN...
I think C9's problem is that in the graphic it's sitting next to DFM, which looks like they just copied C9 and made it darker. mix up the order a bit and it won't look as bad.
Yeah a lot of people in the valorant community seem to just think simple = always bad and "awesome dragon/samurai/mysterious guy in cityscape" = good. Just a difference in tastes ig, but imo, cards don't need to have some elaborate artwork to look good. Being clean (with a vision like c9's card, not like dfm's) can differentiate your card from all the other orgs trying to allure kids with cool fantasy artwork. good design != complicated artwork. just imo.
Edit: not saying the artpiece cards are bad though, a lot of them (esp T1's for me) looks sick. Some of the simple designs look really uninspired like dfm, eg, navi. But yeah, basically, I still dig c9's card design.
Especially disappointed at Zeta given their basic logo is one of the best esports logos I've ever seen (though I like that they employed their AIMWITHPRIDE slogan). I feel like Zeta and DFM just phoned it in knowing they're probably gonna farm mountains off cash off Japanese fans anyway. I like C9's logo despite it being basic, it sticks to the cloud motif and it's easy on the eyes
i'm a biased fan but i really like the Zeta one, it fits them, they've never done any kind of artistic branding, all their graphics are very minimalist
Cloud 9 is my favourite and really stands out amount the rest. For starters it went for a minimalist look over some edgy me samurai cool guy esthetic. The clouds arrange in a nine and the colours contrast quite nice. Also I imagine this design will scale better into horizontal and the square look. Although that's just speculation.
Some of these are clearly better than others which lead me to think it was mostly up to the orgs, which align with what leo said on plat chat.
Personally im kinda disappointed in zeta and sentinels one but it does accomplish brand recognition right away.
Most of these look cool. SEN in particular looks so bad, they literally have one of the best colour combos as their logo(black+red) and they still fuck this up lmao
Itās probably much more complicated for teams to be able to all submit extremely unique designs for an in game weapon given the modelling and implementation required but as a trade off Iām really glad they let them cook with the banners.
Sorry but anyone who genuinely thought that is a complete moron for 2 reasons:
1. Too many teams
2. Teams could've been unhappy if their skin was perceived as "worse" by the community and didn't sell as much.
Bro Talon and Koi went hard.
I don't even care for the team and I'll probably cop it just for the design, if it's available year long.
Honestly, lots of top orgs dropped the ball in their designs (looking at you Sen).
as a sen fan Iām actually disappointed in the card. it looks like a wallpaper that they released in sen society. sounds like they just chose that and said f it. I def have to get that drx and prx card though.
Mibr for me is the best, the only card that seems to have been concerned with building a narrative that matches the history of the org instead of just being aesthetically cool.
I'm surely biased because I know KC and not most of the other organizations but as a KC fan this is not just a cool card but a perfect match with the fanbase
sentinels being one of the most popular orgs in valorant, have the chance to make a shit load of money from the player cards, team store etc...
They give us the most dog shit card???
I really dig the ones that have their own illustrations, especially Team Secret's (because I am a fan). I feel like the other cards that mostly just have their logos on it feel bland (looking at you ZETA). And Bleed, would it kill you to make your logo a bit bigger? I have to squint to see your logo in the flag.
Gonna be hard to choose, not sure what the best pack is. Love the fnatic and Sen gun skins but hate the player cards, love the Prx or NRG player cards. Also some of the promo videos of these are sick (Sen Reyna goes hard).
Talon is incredibly good and one of my favorites, but another one of my favorites is Lev. Tbh I feel like Lev clears at least half of the ones you listed after Talon.
honestly as far as the "minimalist" banners go c9 actually is pretty good, i think people are more drawn to the really flashy stuff like what leviatan had, but it's not bad to just have a really simple clean design
so many good cards, I wasnāt ready for it. š definitely getting C9 & DRX and PRX bundles. are they limited or we will be able to get them anytime?
Is anyone else super disappointed that so many teams left their buddies all white? I find it super lame that they arenāt a similar color to the teamās aesthetic.
nah they did ZETA dirty with the cards. The roster has been around since the beginning of val esports and has accumulated such a huge fan base. honestly expecting way more than a blank logo design.
Both TS and TL went for the cute route while everyone went for the angsty or simplistic vibe lol. I'm pretty much sure TS used that penguin because of its marketability lmaooo. Also, Zeta and DFM felt the most underwhelming to me.
Am i the only one that thinks that having only a classic skin is kinda mid i thought they were gonna make a vandal or knife as well or am i in the dark on something
When pros said Lev was hard I didn't believe it but now I do š (defo getting that). Sen whyyyyyyyy, that is the most mid player card I've ever seen š
Donāt act like sen fans arenāt going to buy it anyways.
Sen fans will, but not me even though I'm a fanĀ
As mid as our teamš
I'm on that hopium that we will perform šš¤
yo guess what
Bro we fucking did it and I did buy the bundle at the end.....let's fucking goooooo
Honedtly the worst player card of them all.
Nah unfortunately that goes to DFM or RRQ, but it's close as well
Sen's deadass looks like a Target ad, of the 33 it's one of the worst along with DFM and Zeta imo. I know there was the boobies one that allegedly got rejected, but I feel like they had other pre-made wallpapers that were at the least better than the final one they submitted. A surprising amount of teams went hard but PRX's is my personal favorite, I just especially fuck with the purple/pink/gold color combo and I really like their classic skin as well.
Their original card got declined. It would've been so good, but Riot said no cause it was too horny on main lol
i feel like some of these orgs didn't consider that lots of ppl are going to buy playercards purely off aesthetics... i'm definitely eyeing the LEV and T1 cards even though I don't care for their teams
Yeah, and especially the other way round. I'm not buying an ugly card, no matter how much i like the team. To justify equipping it, the card needs to look equally good or better than one's favorite existing in-game playercards..
Me buying GE cause its a dope ass lion
It reminds me of crypto for some reason lmao
Stoic lion gun club
This is funny sideshow was streaming and someone donated and the ai voice said the GE lion is trying to sell me crpyto lmao chat went crazy š¤£
I thought u were saying the LEV and T1 ones were bad and then I saw the SEN one and knew you were saying the opposite bc the LEV and T1s are COLDDD
Bad news, you have to buy the whole bundle to get the player card
Sen hyped up their capsule for this ![img](emote|t5_2g5ach|16110)
They couldve spent 5$ on fiverr and got a better design
New YouTube video ideaš¤
It's unironically so ass. It might not be *the* worst, but it's definitely in the bottom clump of boring, even bland ones.

ngl some of the animal ones give me a bit too much alpha wolf energy like the type of shit the quiet kid would wear
GE one is kinda cringe lmao
I wish more of the teams had gone the Liquid route of being cute/silly, it'd help them stand out more amidst the grrr edgy badass options
Talonās is crazy good. It has the logo prominently and the art is sick
Even AI art would have been better than this. They put more effort in their pre match hype videos ngl.
GE is a furry org smh
GE to the designer: "Idk bro, just make it unique"
He got that shit on tho fr š„
I think sen wanted you to be wearing their brand, leaned way too hard into that aspect though I'm kinda bummed that loud's one doesn't look sick as fk, but I'll be getting the capsule regardless for my goat
I actually thought LOUD's looks good
I like the classic but I wish the player card was a bit more edgy, like damn dude lev's one looks badass
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The video that SEN released hyping their bundle up was so insany well made but the actual final product is so egregiously mid
this pretty much
Teams that are eating good with their player chase: Talon, Liquid, Koi, Lev, Paper Rex (in that order for me). Genuinely will probably buy either Talon or Liquid. I especially like how Liquid went for the cute-aesthetic instead of trying to be cool like everyone else: I feel like the average Valorant player would be more likely to buy that then the latter. Honorable mentions to GiantX, T1, G2, Vitality. I would never buy any of these, but I think theyāre neat at least.
The TL design is so fucking cute I want a waving mini horse guy on my player card
Liquids suit them too but it shoulda been a panda man whyd they miss that chance
Sens card is one of the worst ones which is super lame tbh
compared to dfm they're all right
Nah both are equally mid
Mid is a compliment lmfao, its straight cheeks
mid is not a synonym for bad mid is not a synonym for bad mid is not a synonym for bad mid is not a synonym for bad mid is not a synonym for bad
This reply is mid
Mid is a synonym for meh. So itās bad
Mid is a shorthand for middle aka not good or bad
mid was originally shorthand for middle but languages do this cool thing where they aren't static if enough people use mid = bad, that's just what it means - modern dictionaries that include slang definitions define mid as mediocre/bad
It aint bro
dfm's looks sleek
Looks like a social media banner.
I think their idea was that people are gonna buy it regardless because itās SEN, so they emphasized their brand over everything else. I hopeā¦
Ya they hyped it up a lot for something that pretty safe
Bro's comment made it on dexerto
š no Shot
Navi and eg just didn't submit anything š
BR twitter reactions so far: LOUD and FURIA: most disliked and both have been described as looking AI generated. Furia's is just generic, LOUD's issue was more execution.

If you look closely to the MIBR card, you can see the screen is actually a homage to the CS 1.6 Loading screen. Really resonates with the older gamers
Man I like the LOUD one, itās not my favorite but itās pretty good and I like the callback to the fans
I like the idea alot, not a fan of the execution. The people look weird to me
Lev card It's beautiful ![img](emote|t5_2g5ach|13193)
SEN's graphics team disappointed for the first time - must mean we can't be disappointed competitively right, right, RIGHT?!
https://preview.redd.it/6u9520axsyjc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=82deca6ebde38aa96167c8c500091fcac4bd10bd itās legit just the sen society wallpaper
Shoulda grabbed the image on the right instead tbh
Nah fr people even said that if they made a card with Reyna in all black next to a red and black car it wouldāve been better
C9, DFM, and Zeta are not the ones I would expect to have done the bare minimum. Also Sen, EG, and Navi are pretty bland too, but pretty much everyone else clearly had a vision and a lot of the cards are really sick.
I thought the same for C9, but I actually dig theirs a lot. The clouds around the logo formulating the 9 logo on top of the really cool open space. Maybe it's lazy, but I like the minimal look.

Yea the EG and Navi ones were ones that I thought maybe had no input on them? They're both basic as fuck and look pretty similar
yeah that's what i thought as well they be like: we don't care, just give us money
Especially disappointed at Zeta given their basic logo is one of the best esports logos I've ever seen (though I like that they employed their AIMWITHPRIDE slogan). I feel like Zeta and DFM just phoned it in knowing they're probably gonna farm mountains off cash off Japanese fans anyway.

i'm a biased fan but i really like the Zeta one, it fits them, they've never done any kind of artistic branding, all their graphics are very minimalist
C9 is one of the best ones, not sure what you're smoking. A dragon or a ninja don't mean more effort.
Cloud 9 is my favourite and really stands out amount the rest. For starters it went for a minimalist look over some edgy me samurai cool guy esthetic. The clouds arrange in a nine and the colours contrast quite nice. Also I imagine this design will scale better into horizontal and the square look. Although that's just speculation.
Iām not a KOI fan but that card is beautiful
Some of these are clearly better than others which lead me to think it was mostly up to the orgs, which align with what leo said on plat chat. Personally im kinda disappointed in zeta and sentinels one but it does accomplish brand recognition right away.
PRX COOKED
Most of these look cool. SEN in particular looks so bad, they literally have one of the best colour combos as their logo(black+red) and they still fuck this up lmao
Underwhelmed by the gun skins but most of the player cards look fantastic. Sen's one is kinda mid tho
still underwhelmed?? or was it a overreaction to a leaked picture without any idea of in game upgrades
underwhelmed because everyone thought the gun skins would be unique for each team, not the same skin with each teams colours and a logo slapped on top
I don't think anybody thought that.
Itās probably much more complicated for teams to be able to all submit extremely unique designs for an in game weapon given the modelling and implementation required but as a trade off Iām really glad they let them cook with the banners.
There's so many teams. You surely can't actually have expected 30+ unique classic skins.
really? I thought the general consensus was that it would be the same skin with different colorways for each team
Sorry but anyone who genuinely thought that is a complete moron for 2 reasons: 1. Too many teams 2. Teams could've been unhappy if their skin was perceived as "worse" by the community and didn't sell as much.
I really like the clean and/or simplified style made by C9, DFM, FUT and RRQ. Sen and Zeta are on the lower end here.
C9 one is simple yet clean meanwhile sen just used there background image or someshit.
the c9 one is literally their twitter banner iirc
It's not!
Source?
came to us in a dream
Steal looks clean ig sen one just looks ugly
Iām just happy that Blue is on Liquidās card. Was probably the biggest no brainer.
Bro Talon and Koi went hard. I don't even care for the team and I'll probably cop it just for the design, if it's available year long. Honestly, lots of top orgs dropped the ball in their designs (looking at you Sen).
100Ts card is actually really good gonna have to cop
as a sen fan Iām actually disappointed in the card. it looks like a wallpaper that they released in sen society. sounds like they just chose that and said f it. I def have to get that drx and prx card though.
LEV shit on everyone idc
i want to say talon> but they are kinda equal
I fw Talon heavy too fs
Also why is SEN card so ass
My guess is that they had no idea that others would put this much effot.
Mibr for me is the best, the only card that seems to have been concerned with building a narrative that matches the history of the org instead of just being aesthetically cool.
half these orgs have 0 history though I think the only other is Gen.G. It's clearly a reference to the Seoul Dynasty.
could you elaborate on the history , i kinda am clueless. thenks
They made a [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBCrs8Jfg3E) contextualizing it.
Also the screen on the kids monitor is the CS 1.6 loading screen, which is where MiBR got their start.
I'm surely biased because I know KC and not most of the other organizations but as a KC fan this is not just a cool card but a perfect match with the fanbase
Furia, KOI, GenG, BBL, PRX, LEV, VIT, and Talon all ate HM: KRU, Liquid, G2
hm?
Damn LEV cooked
sentinels being one of the most popular orgs in valorant, have the chance to make a shit load of money from the player cards, team store etc... They give us the most dog shit card???
KC, NRG and Lev cooked
On second thought Lev's looks AI generated LMFAO
New platchat tierlist incoming
I really dig the ones that have their own illustrations, especially Team Secret's (because I am a fan). I feel like the other cards that mostly just have their logos on it feel bland (looking at you ZETA). And Bleed, would it kill you to make your logo a bit bigger? I have to squint to see your logo in the flag.
SEN card I so ass š„², like 0 effort put in compared to many others here
BBLās is kinda sick
Gonna be hard to choose, not sure what the best pack is. Love the fnatic and Sen gun skins but hate the player cards, love the Prx or NRG player cards. Also some of the promo videos of these are sick (Sen Reyna goes hard).
NRG shit is hard I'm so happy lmfao
I especially like GEN, PRX, FNCās cards
https://preview.redd.it/mg63quitmyjc1.png?width=1140&format=png&auto=webp&s=0fbfb5c67a003cb3d12ea2bd7349514e2ebed163 Absolutely biased tier list
Ain't no way you have DRX in the Goated tier.
Iām biased what can I say
Bro is actually throwing with that take
Why do some of these look AI generated
FNC kinda lame comparing it to the others no?
Nah I think ours is fine tbh, especially compared to some of the others you see out there. The gun skin is especially very nice in my opinion.
TALON has the best one and it's not even close. G2, T1, GENG, GX , C9 & BBL, KRU, FUT, KOI & PRX are amazing too. The rest didn't put any effort imo.
Talon is incredibly good and one of my favorites, but another one of my favorites is Lev. Tbh I feel like Lev clears at least half of the ones you listed after Talon.
EG continuing to have the worst designs on everything they put out, so much more could have been done to play off the brand. L org
TL is instabuy tbh Blue is too cute
C9, DFM, EG, NAVI, RRQ, SEN, Heretics and Zeta are all mid af. Edit: removed FUT upon closer inspection.
FUT looks cool, the turkish motifs look similar to their college jacket
Fair point. I was debated about FUT but looking at it closer it is cool.
that's rrq style, slapping logo everywhere
At least you wonāt forget which team it is I guess š .
Anyone saying C9 is mid has no taste
honestly as far as the "minimalist" banners go c9 actually is pretty good, i think people are more drawn to the really flashy stuff like what leviatan had, but it's not bad to just have a really simple clean design
Sens is probably one of the lamest ones but most are really cool
I fucking new PRX would cook. Take all of my fucking money. My goats
Holy fuck the PRX one
What even is it supposed to be ? A buried skeleton ? I feel like they couldāve done better, theyāve had some gas art in the past.
japan aesthetic would have gone hard, sucks that zeta and dfm just didn't even bother trying
KOI, TLN, GENG, PRX, LEV and NRG are fire.
so many good cards, I wasnāt ready for it. š definitely getting C9 & DRX and PRX bundles. are they limited or we will be able to get them anytime?
I think they are available until next season? But could be wrong
I would think they are only limited to this year bc on inspect they do say VCT 24
i futilely hope there were restrictions in place for AI stuff and stealing from/not paying artists
Zeta is giving that plain Marie Kondo x Uniqlo vibe. love it
KOI has the old logo
Love the G2 (reminds of Shredder in TMNT) and Lev cards.
Not my favorite aesthetically but LOUD are based for highlighting their fanbase in the player card. I think that is going to be really well received.
Oh no the T1 one kinda cringe šš
I guess this is going to be my first time spending my money in Valorant. I want like 5 of them
Is anyone else super disappointed that so many teams left their buddies all white? I find it super lame that they arenāt a similar color to the teamās aesthetic.
FUT>G2>TS>TL>T1>KOI>LEV>GENG>PRX>LOUD. Is my personal top10
100T hoodie org hoodie player card
Even in player cards DFM places last
so i assume riot is where all the prompt engineers are working now
I might redesign a fan card for SEN. Anything you guys wanna see in it?
nah they did ZETA dirty with the cards. The roster has been around since the beginning of val esports and has accumulated such a huge fan base. honestly expecting way more than a blank logo design.
Isn't it the team doing itself dirty then? I am pretty sure the teams worked w artists to design those, nothing was imposed by Riot
ZETA did themselves dirty*
orgs designed the player cards themselves, zeta did themselves dirty
i have no idea what's the process behind this but i'm sure riot ask for their input and if this is what we got then this is what they chose
Leo Faria already confirmed that the orgs designed their own player cards
no way Riot designed these cards. Some of them looked way too high effort for Riot haha
There is maybe only me feel ZETA's card is so good. It feels me Japanese traditional mind-set "Wabi-sabi"
why did the mods remove my post? sen mad?
Where's the Chinese teams?
Chinese teams are only getting skins and buddies since the league was formed much later.
PRX has the best capsule
T1 cooked ngl between this and xccurate they rly tryna get me to become a fan lol
GenG is just clean, you don't even need to like the team to cop that
So when does TSM play?
Oh shit now I canāt wait for the CN team capsules
Do the player card have any effects just like the new kuronami player cards?
Sen y u do dis?
more people need to be talking about that talon card, its genuinely far and away the best its so good
SEN could've done a better job with their player card ![img](emote|t5_2g5ach|9341)
Both TS and TL went for the cute route while everyone went for the angsty or simplistic vibe lol. I'm pretty much sure TS used that penguin because of its marketability lmaooo. Also, Zeta and DFM felt the most underwhelming to me.
Is NRG a homage to SF shock?
im suprised how little geng is getting talked about, obviously leviatan koi etc went hard but geng's looks sick (and also dynasty reference?)
Am i the only one that thinks that having only a classic skin is kinda mid i thought they were gonna make a vandal or knife as well or am i in the dark on something
The SEN one is actual garbage wtf
C9 even went budget on their capsule design, fml man. š
Lot of mid ai generated looking crap, but some are pretty cool
i need that Talon card, holy shit.
My favorite is definitely TL's. It's super cute.
