Only 1 import allowed in franchise League

Since Yay Parted ways with C9 the question is Which team will he join and will he be playing franchise League . I don't think any T2 team in ascension can afford him
The only Possible tranfer would be
Yay to Liquid
Or
Yay to EG

Yay would be downgrade for NRG tbh coz Ardiis proved himself in Lock in event with the flexibility he brings to NRG roster

TBH yay's agent pool is very limited he should learn more agents like Either Raze or agents like Kayo and Skye
Just sticking to chamber will only harm in future

According to me these are following upsets we can see Pacific League in 2023 :-

1) PRX nont being the Favourite and holding there spot in top 3 Pacific team

2) RRQ or DFM not winning a Single game and they making aMid season Roster change

3) Talon though performing so well in Lock In event getting knocked down and Not performing good

4) Zeta Not performing that good as people expected them to perform.

5) GenG making a Huge upset in Pacific League by beating fan favourite teams like PRX and talon qualifying for Tokyo Masters

Cant think of more but I am pretty sure PRX will lack a lot in Pacific League because of there play style and how teams will counter them

GFG we Lost her guys
Suggest me some other professional player that I can simp on

So According to the posts on Valorant official Twitter account
We can account that
1) Male Character
2) Might be a Sentinal or Initiator (70-30 chances )
3) Might be From Spain/France (Coz He named Brimstone in Phone "Papi" which means Grandpa in French and Daddy in Spanish )
4) Good Friend with Reyna (As acc to post Reyna Trust him alot)

If it's a sentinal agent I would love to See A Landmine like ability which can either daze People who come in contact or Deals damage
Also I want this agent to have universal traps (No range plz Chamber is trash with his trap and range )

So for me the real Power ranking would be
DRX
TALON
GENG / GE /SECRET
PRX / ZETA
T1
RRQ
DETONATION

I don't agree with this ranking TBH
1st PRX I think this year will be a down fall for PRX where they get destroyed by Pacific team making them realise that just relying on aim and Wierd comp won't make any difference

Same with Zeta (they looked not that good against LEV and even in Champions 2022 everyone call there Iceland Performance Cinderella run and u don't do that every tournament

T1 RRQ and Detonation even looked worse than thought

GenG looked promising as they gave tough fight to LOUD
And Global I can't say much Bazzi was a Last time replacement as Wronski was in Playing 5 + they got a Map against VIT (May be a fluke or throw from VIT)

For Bren and Sideshow are the best casters in Valorant so Far
After them would be Panzy and Hypoc
Then Balla And Doug
And last but not the least Mitch and Tom

America's
NRG
100T
LOUD/SEN

EMEA
NAVI
TEAM LIQUID
FNATIC
VIT(IF NAVI WINS LOCK IN)

CHINA
EDWARD GAMING

PACIFIC
DRX
PRX
GLOBAL
TALON (IF DRX WIN LOCK IN EVENT)

May Be he gets Shifted to Secondary initiator and Bazzi takes Main sova role He played sova for CR in Master 1 where sen won the event
His Kayo was Good TBH (especially in defence)
Also I didn't like GES split comp Raze is good but Texture is More comfortable on Jett may be Let any one else play Raze agent may be Wronski and texture plays Jett as double duelist or Skye kayo Whole Rossi remains to sage

U want me to timestamp where Money just wide Swing through a Smoke , Texture Being 10 HP and Pushing wall , Ayrin watching the wrong angle where turret is watching , Bazzi Crouch Peaking with Aryrin

U want me to timestamp where Yay couldn't hit a awp shot, Angel Whiffing ,Som's whiff , Cned Missing shots

Also It's a Fucking drone for 5-7 sec What u want him to drone the whole map Wow

I don't understand why people are just blaming SkRossi for GE loss. I understand that being sova and Awping is not a good idea but who knows it might have worked out in Scrims for them so they tried it.
Also players like Bazzi Ayrin even Moyet made mistake in rounds which were Winnable

And we know Rossi Never Played with them in same room while Vitality is a set roaster from France VRL just adding 2players from OGLU

I take this game as a W for GE. Zeta lost to LEV (Also a Set roaster ) not even winning a Single Map and getting destroyed on Ascent but still people consider them top 4 in APAC . PRX lost to C9 2-0 probably the best APAC squad after DRX.

Also Playing Off season helped Vitality. Tbh all the teams that played off season Got to know there mistakes early while Teams that just played for the 1st time in LAN fumbled like KOI ,TL

I know VLR forum is garbage and u will abuse me
But for this game is a W they can rectify there mistakes and can be a bomb squad in Pacific Problem chasing thay 3 spot for Master tokoyo (DRX and PRX/ talon are currently the best For me)

For me
America's:-
NRG
100T
LOUD
SEN/LEV

EMEA :-
FNATIC
NAVI
LIQUID
VIT/ TH

Pacific:-
DRX
PRX
TALON
ZETA/GENG

So Since next masters is in Tokyo What you guys think will be the format and How many team will qualify
I think 5 teams from each region Like
5 from Americas
5 from Pacific
5 from EMEA
1 Lock In winner total
Total 16 teams
8 teams each groups and they can run Double elimination bracket or Round robin from and in RR format top 4 teams will qualify for Playoff which will be double elimination bracket

I like how Slideshow gaming shows Actually emotions while casting like I still remember his words when DRX rb hit an insane Spray Tranfer in heaven and Enzo clutch again LEV.
Panzy Hypoc are also good but the don't create hype that much
Doug uses some grate lines Like Foxz Trigger discipline
Asuna Ace where he says "give it him baby Ace for Asuna "
Saun Gares and DDK did more analysed based casting breaking down rounds

So without Wronski Who will be playing on LAN will it be Bazzi or Lightningfast
Since SkRossi took the main Sova Role I think Lightningfast is More likely to play on stage because he can Every role for Initiators to controllers to Sentinal
Bazzi mostly played sova but Bazzi has LAN experience as He play master in 2021 he might be a Choice too

I truly believe that Ok not comparing Asuna To SkRossi but last year we all saw how Asuna Was the star duelist for 100T but when Saun Gares decided to put him on Initiator like Kayo Skye and Fade he improved heavily.
Though He still play Raze for 100T but Having a Flex agent comp instead of being a Jett main is better
And SkRossi is looking good on Initiator (except Breach I think that's why GE staff decided to put him on cypher instead of breech on Fracture )

Fingers cross he performs good on LAN

We all know Yay did in Champions 2022 with his chamber just going guns Blazing but With chamber being nerfed to hell Ardis a Similar kind of Player but with better agent pool seems a Better pick for NRG.
Ardis can play variety of Agent where as You have to put Yay on not heavy utility agent( so that he can play more on aim rather than For utility). I can never see Yay on KJ to be honest

What are you thoughts

Why would VLT owner buy out Excali Just to Let him tranfer him to S8UL
i think S8UL is getting 2 NA import with Hellranger Skillz, Kohli or Whimp Badlove(as Badlove is a good friend of Scout)
Kappa is retiring or rather being a Bench for GE (better for him eSports is Not a Place for Bommer proven fact )

ok so per Leaked Doma and Ecils Are joining VLT soon for VCL South Asia But Whom are they replacing is One question Amaterasu and Hellf or Deadly10

What about the S8UL roster they are going to sign imports too and do they really signing Indian valorant Team for VCL South Asia ?

What about Hellranger Skillz Kappa and Kohli are they leaving GE

So many Good T1 South Asian Valorant pros are LFT with good young Players are LFT too

VCL is not even Announced is is Really Happening?

Its just comparing stats

Like till the time Chamber was there it was very clear that SkRossi or Wronski will play chamber and will be a dedicated awper To the team but now Since Jett is the only awper agent in current meta
It's Hard to teams like GE or even Team Liquid as they have 2 awper Players Saif and Jammpi

We all know Texture is going Playing Jett for GE but how you guys See Jett as a Agent in current meta.
Entry Fragger or Awper
Since chamber is down teams will pick Jett for Awp role And I don't think Texture's Awping is as good as Wronski or SkRossi (Like he got diffed in LCQ last year)
What are you take on this Will they switch Texture to some other role ?

I would Rather Ask Riot to make a Sentinal agent as We Already have 6 duelist 5 initiator 5 controller in the game the only category with 4 agent is Sentinal And Sage I don't consider her A proper Sentinal And Chamber He is not playable anymore so would like to see riot add a sentinal agent that has ability related to "Land Mine"
Also Chamber was Added in 2021 December around so its been more than a year that we have seen a Sentinal agent
I think rather adding a New duelist riot should make Your and Pheonix more powerful compared to Jett and Raze

Your PRX got destroyed by Zeta On Breeze in recent tournament.
Would love to see your Faces when APAC teams will beat PRX in Pacific league.

Get ready .

What are your views on this.
I think in APAC, PRX dominated the league with the aim Diff they have . Like Jing and Forsaken's Duo is unbeatable in APAC region and In international event when they play Against teams From NA or EU or South America, the strategic advantage Cost them.
Like teams from NA EU and SA(South America) are strategically more strong ( I still remember how No one was able to beat Forsaken's Yoru On bind But in Finals FPX read them like a Book.

With Pacific league coming in PRX will Get a Good competition from teams Like DRX ,Zeta and GE (As they have Ayrin who is a IGL from NA ). Even T-1 can give a Tough fight.

Bro I want to see Your expressions when you where Righting this
Would be so funny

Currently My T-1 Players are either LFT or inactive. It is great chance for Big Indian ORGs like S8UL , Godlike , Orangutan to pick these players and Build a Roster for ascension
Players like Hellranger , Skills ,Anti , Rite2Ace , Kappa, Rawfiul, RvK are LFT now. Orgs Can easily build a Roster With or Without SEA players

I am Not sure about the roles but if check Recent career of These players
Rossi is grinding Sentinals
And Texture is just playing Jett
And LF Is playing more support roles

Didn't check for others

No way Wronski is in P5

For me The Playing 5 and Roles of GE players are :-

SkRossi (Sentinal as playing chamber made him more of a Lurker)

Ayrin (Controller and KJ on Ascent (Not sure) )

Lightningfast (Flex Initiator / Viper (2nd controller role) )

Texture (Will Only Play Jett for Team )

Monyet ( Will duelists Like Neon and Raze and may Be Other duelist)

Bazzi ( Main Initiator Player will play Mostly Sova and Fade and Breech )

WRONSKI (Flex Initiator but 6th Man FS)

I think GE will be Playing Texture only for the Jett role and Monyet Will be playing other duelist roles and They both will share the duelist role

Also If double duelist comes back GE can Run both Monyet and Texture and Bench LF

What you guys think whether it is better to play a off season tournament with Franchise Squad or Teams like Fnatic , SEN and many other teams first to see where team stands or it is better to directly play in Kick off event
After see C9 which was considered to be NA super Team I think every Franchise Team Should atleast play 1 off season event to see how the team performs

I think Game will be in a better position If Riot decides to release some agent that are going to give competition to agents who are currently dominating in the agent pool

Duelist:- After the chamber Nerf I think Jett's Pick rate will increase to atleast 50% as She is now better with the operator so Introducing a Agent that can Awp Would be good for the game. Also As we saw due to chamber Pick rate of other duelist agents like Raze and Neon went a little high where teams tried run these agents will now go to single digit Percentage.

May Be introducing a agent that has a Ability like DASH or TP can work.

Sentinel:- I don't know what you guys think about Cypher and Killjoy but I think KJ and Cypher are more static agents like teams can't make creative plays with those agents so Introducing a Agent which is More dynamic can work. I still don't know Why there is no sentinal agent that has a Land Mine abilities where the mine can do a decay damage or stun on the enemies. Also introducing a sentinal Agent with a flash can also work

Controller :- I think this category of agent is balanced as Teams almost play every controller agent except Harbour Which I think will get some buffs in Future will make him good on maps like Breeze and Icebox

But introducing a agent that can be like both Astra and viper would be great like having a Wall Ability but only a Single charge and Having 2 Spherical or Even Cylindrical smoke (Like Cypher cage) would be great.

Initiator:- With Fade coming in the agent pool I think she is Broken and She is must pick agent on every map except Breeze and Icebox. Having a Agent that has both recon and flash ability would be wonderfull also have a grenade ability like CSGO grenade ability culd work

Personally I think after chamber Nerf teams will go back to Jett dominant comps where we won't be able to see Other duelists like Raze neon on most maps. TBH chamber opened teams to start playing variety of of agents.
Like no duelist comps , 3 Initiator comp all were possible because of chamber only.
The will game start dying if Dev's don't introduce another agent that is like Jett or chamber who can Use operater as Currently operater is a very strong weapon in the game.
Game is heading back towards Static Jett and Killjoy comp which is very boring to watch.
I still hate watching teams play KJ Jett on ascent map

Potentially Dev's can make Yoru's TP as quick as Chamber so that he can also be a awper agent

Bro Are you Dumb this tournament is called GXR "India" Invitational and they organized India Qualifiers having no Indian Invited teams.
Just call it GXR Invitational

Why you call it India Invitational If you only wanted 2 indian Teams and Rest SEA teams That are "Invited ". Only 2 Indian Teams in India Invitational Tournament

No I don't think 1 indian in Playing five there can be 32 indians in Playing 5 too as the way GE announced there roster on Twitter it seems like Ayrin Wronski Buzzi and Rossi are confirmed top 4 and Monyet LF and texture are fighting for 5th spot
Also Rossi is confirmed as he is the best awper in top 6 and LF is very Flex Player he can play Duelist , Controller and Initiator and even KJ and cypher so He is basically confirmed too

Yaa I think Monyet and Texture will share the duelist role with Either Texture only Playing Jett and Monyet playing Raze ans Neon

So it's Kinda Confirmed that LF and Wronski are playing Initiator role
Also I think being a Cracked aimer doesn't mean getting duelist role
If you are cracked as hell then Second initiator role like Kayo and Skye works better for you as you can insta trade and Be the second entry frag

See the case of Players like Deathemaker Or Asuna Or Zellsis they all 3 play flex Kayo/skye role for the team on certain Maps

• If You are running chamber then You have to Run awp on him maximum time as There is no point playing chamber if he play awp role For most time of the game

The Question Whom to do you consider as Better Awper especially for the chamber role
I think My personal opinion Wronski ans Skrossi are better at awping as SKRossi Already showed Texture that he is better at awping kn LCQ 2021 APAC
SO texture can play jett on certain maps Like Breeze and Ascent where most teams Run Jett chamber together.
Also Can't compare Rossi with Wronski as They never play against in a Official match

According to me Lightningfast will be Raze player Or Bazzi can play Raze and LF can play Second controller or Second initiator.
Ayrin will Be the main controller for the Team

The question who will play the Fade/sova Role in team
(Kappa ) ?????

I don't who will be in the Active 6 man Roster but I feel like it's better to play ascension Instead of being a Being bench in 10 man roster
I think Players like Hellranger, Kappa and Skillz Should look for some other team to play for acension league instead of Being a bench where their chances of Playing is most likely Zero

I don't what is Your opinion on harbor as agent but I think he is super weak compared to viper on maps like Fracture, Breeze and Icebox. So here are some buff that I think are adequate in order to be good controller agent :-

C ability :- According to C ability is good and bad at the same time. If devs increase the slow from that wall or add a Nearsighted blind to that ability it would be good also It should last 10 secs

Q ability:- The shield is so fragile, Imagine you use it to retake a sight and defuse spike enemy team will just spam and break that in no time. So potential buff for that ability is that they increase either the durability of that shield and also even if the shield gets broken the smoke should last for 12-15 sec and it should be a rechargeable ability like astra. 40 sec Cooldown would be nice

E Ability :- Harbors wall is Only that one ability that I find find good but the cooldown is massive (40 sec) . Viper can use her wall twice in that time so I think devs should reduce the cooldown of that wall and may be increasing its length a little bit

Ultimate Ability :- His ultimate is good for getting site control but the stuns take some much time to stun the enemy so may be reducing that stud Animation duration.

For the Past 6-8 months GE has been running Breech and Sova On almost Every map Except Split and Fracture. Knowing Sova and Breech are good Agent combo but running the Same set of Initiator For this long makes them a bit predictable. Like in Ascent Hevan and Bind They never switched to any other initiator combo like (Skye Breech) (Fade Skye) (Kayo Skye ) (Fade Kayo). Their New Ascent comp of 3 initiator while the whole world is Play Fade sova and Kayo Combo they are running Breech Kayo and Sova combo which Lacks Info gathering. On Bind Sova has Proven to be not a Good agent but they still run Sova on that map.
Except Hevan I don't Think Sova Breech Combo is Good Even Fade can be Replaced for sova in this situation.

Probably
KR -DRX
APAC -PRX
NA - OPTIC
LATAM- KRU
BRAZIL-LOUD

EMEA is Still got competition

No doubt he is the best player in the world he Played almost every type of agent in the game from being sova main to playing Brim and chamber and now playing raze that too top Fragging every game

No doubt he is the best player in the world he Played almost every type of agent in the game from being sova main to playing Brim and chamber and now playing raze that too top Fragging every game

No It's not like that The easiest Way to explain is in EMEA region how we have Alfajer and Cned Super cracked dudes but No good Turkish team in EMEA Main stage

It is commonly believed that A boomer playing Esports for 8-10 yrs have more experience but in Valorant they all started at same time. I personally think most boomer players in Esports are eating some young talented players slot. Players like Hiko, Steel, Kappa are just sitting and wasting their slot. I read somewhere that Esports Require young Players as they have better reflexes. I think A Esports player should only compete for 5-7 yrs Or from (18/19- 27)

There are some chances that GE can Beat AE(45-55) Why:-
1) GE have Icebox perma Ban and Breeze is AE's perma Ban

2) GE's best maps are Ascent split And Hevan and According to the stats GE's Comps Look more powering than AE's Comps (AE run Sage,Jett,Omen,Sova,Kayo) to which GE runs 3 initiator Comp that can easily out shine AE's comp on Ascent

3) GE have a Great Hevan Gameplan and they have Beaten many good Teams on that Map ( F4Q and DWG)

4) Split AE runs Double Duelist comp that is Very basic and Can easily be Countered

5)On Fracture AE Looks very dicey as their stats say that AE is not comfortable on (Fracture same for Bind)

And According to the stats the Map Veto might be ( Split/ Bind , Hevan and Ascent/Bind)

No way Fnatic Lose to Team Liquid

A Weird Prediction But hope It works (GES might beat RRQ)
