also ur acting as if pro teams only have 1 team comp for each map and pros can only play certian agents. between masters and champions we already saw a variety of teamcomps played by the same team. if they had a limited pool then antistratting would be too easy. if hiko cant play sova, whos to say he cant play kayo, skye. nivera literally learned the whole game in a month, valorant isnt rocket science lol. mako went from jett main to argueably the best astra, a whole different role in a month as well lol.

i mean viper is more core than astra on some maps so she wouldnt get banned on those maps using ur scenario. and i dont understand ur 'gets players off of their comfort picks' point because its the same thing if u ban jett and astra- it gets people off comfort picks. if anything banning the most important agents of a team would be more uncomfortable.

mako is way better at astra

thats ridiculous i would be so tilted. hes a better jett than goddead

if u dont ban jett or astra then nothing changes lol. if u ban one flex agent, then there are plentiful other flex agents to take their place. e.g ban sova, u can always pick skye etc. and if u insert these agents over another then nothing really changes, the teamcomps identity doesnt change much.

theres no point of the ban system itself then. like whats the point of banning brim or smth

are you dumb? they wont get buffed, jett will get nerfed so that shes no longer bannable LMAO. and even then a new ideal team comp will be formed which every team will use.

the main reason people support it is because 'its a breath of fresh air' and encourages creativity. no lmao. jett will always be a permaban, astra will always be a permaban, etc. if nobody can play those agents, a new meta will form without them and every team will begin to pick this new meta every time. it will be no different.

well clearly she didnt think she had a chance....considering shes the one who didnt further pursue the case

do u really think the court would decide off a clip which isnt even a minute long? this isnt a movie LOL

maybe ts already got signed somewhere else?

he obviously planned to get 69 acs. imagine being so good u can get your desired acs at will!

yeah getting rid of a choker is what helped them

how did they underperform? all teams made playoffs, 1 team in semis 1 team in finals. they argueably did better than emea as a whole considering one of the emea teams didnt even make playoffs

bruh LoL has like 100million global viewership in the world finals

is this for a 16 team masters? cuz thats a big feelsbad then considering the competition has increased in kr

Lakia, seoldam, ts would be a dream

riot. no other game dev is innovating and game-changing for video games as a whole

average vlr.gg user

source?

oce will compete in APAC challengers so no

to be fair his only opportunity at lan was iceland

How much better is Lakia than Zest? Didnt watch much during when Zest played.

they banned his suit cuz of the suits of another brand which phelps doesnt wear...so they scrapped all suits which are similar

i get 100 ping on singapore, 20 ping usually

yeah same esp since the top 2 OCE teams are neck and neck

no shit lmao, theyve been a seperate region for the entirety of valorant history

Tbh I dont know how they will compare to SEA teams as OCE teams havent had an international game yet but in csgo OCE had strong teams on an international level so hopefully its the same for valorant

not predictions, it will happen. disagree = biased

source?

but them being free to do whatever doesnt mean it will be good. LoL already has an AMAZING lore so its pretty much guaranteed a story about it would be good like we saw in Arcane. not to mention its taken over a decade to bring all these characters in to piece the puzzle which is the lore

it would be way easier with characters in LoL where there are already specific personality traits, character background, etc. who tf knows valorant lore to an extensive depth, you;d basically have to come up with something new from start to finish

lakia + seoldam + TS + astell incoming

I mean lakia news was mutual agreement, everyone is making it seem like VS are huge snakes

why...

but those teams will go through APAC challengers

24 is way too messy imo. 16 is cool cuz its simple, u get ur groups and then go straight to quarterfinals and so on

though even tho KR had same placements in masters berlin, they were more successful in that tourney (top of group with 2 EMEA teams, and only team to take a map off GMB in playoffs) which means they had better results throughout the year but still i guess u can argue that LATAM > KR. Regardless, LATAM is a 1 team region atm right?? or am i mistaken since i dont watch LATAM games

i dont think SEA will get 2 slots due to the sheer size of the region. also are there any good LATAM teams other than KRU? dont rly keep up with the region. if KRU is vastly better than the 2nd best team , i doubt they will get 2 slots

to begin with techinically KR has had the best result of a non major region through VCT 2021. and secondly teams are starting to rebuild their rosters such as DWG (probably the 2nd best korean team) who recently added a top 3 korean jett who can also fill and top 3 korean sova to add to their already existing top 3 jett and top 3 controller. same with ESC where they now have best korean sentinel, top 3 sova, etc. to put it simply, the best korean talent is now joining the same teams. and we still have some free agents unsigned like seoldam, munchkin

the problem with merging KR and JP is that I highly doubt a JP team will make it through to masters which means Riot loses a huge chunk of viewership as valorant as an esport is quite popular there. and realistically NA 2 slots will never happen, just look at LoL for example. shit region but always has slots

prediction

'

are there any other good teams in LATAM other than KRU tho...and didnt some players leave KRU? so im assuming the region is not looking so good. also korean region is looking quite strong rn so I put in 2

How does this sound?

EU&CIS --> 4
SEA (including OCE & SA) --> 3
NA --> 3
KR --> 2
BR --> 2
JP --> 1
LATAM --> 1

altogether 16 teams

lucky bank tbh. I swear all bank game winners are luck

bruh thats crazy i wonder if its bots or real people because i highly doubt 400 people searched my acc up

Immt 1, around 700 hours

https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/LAKIA%20MY%20KING%23tls/overview?playlist=competitive
how tf do i almost have 400 views on my acc and pro players like VS Mako have similar views

Damn, I got my hopes up that it would be huge roster change
