I see... personally if everyone sees it as a paycheck I would think that its not a major since no one really thinks of it for the legacy of winning the tourney. The only EWC winners so far also said it's not a major so I think it just can't be on the premise of it doesn't serve the same purpose

I feel like it's always been that way, I just wonder what the people who genuinely believe its a major think, surely it's more than "it's a lot of money"

At least read the first sentence before replying man :/

I've always assumed it's just bait tbh, EWC is not even worth a regional in my eyes, if I was a quadrillionaire I still wouldn't have a tourney grand final as legitimate as a regional group stage game

agree, the whole point of GC is to get out of the league, not stay in it, so GC should only take players that weren't in tier 1/2 for like, somewhere between 6-12 months. After that amount of time would i think it to be valid to come back to GC

Tier two just needs more incentive (more money.) and gc has to penalize players who are playing in both leagues. Ideally there'd be conflict in schedule or some shit so players have to choose tier two rather than half assing both leagues

Problem is there's not much going on for tier two either so it's just a better business decision to farm GC and stats and kill your career in the league instead of even thinking about tier two or one and being at the highest level. Which fucking sucks because all it does is put gc even further back than it should in terms of developing and showcasing new talent, since all the players who are at the top have been there for a while with no plan of moving on to bigger and better things because the paycheck for gc tourneys are easier to obtain that being a better player and competing at a higher level

I also think GC doesn't disincentivize leaving it once you've reached the top enough, and tier two doesn't encourage sticking to only tier two enough. That's why already well off without GC players continue to play in it, and honestly I don't like that very much.

Thanks I love less :3

Could have gone without responding

prolly not i just lurk on this website to be real, give my opinion when people want it, other than that i use the website for my own stats and for pro games lol

do yall hate me all i do is play valorant watch pro valorant play in gc and like boobies

FUCK TRAE YOUNG!!!!

i don't really main a specific agent I just main senti :P playing whatever character fits for each map

Learning agent tech and hard focusing mechanics and playing the game semi consistently will result in good things always. I do 9 dms a day minimum (aim training optional, my teammates do but I don't), I play ranked and/or have a scrim block for at least a few hours a day, and when I think i could contribute something with my agent util I always hop in customs and just think. Being able to have things like anti flood mollies, post plant utility, etc. Can improve odds of winning instantly if you're a smart player, a mechanically gifted player with a clutch gene, or both.

I spam deathmatches with no aim training and I aim well, though I use tons of pistols as well as rifles and have intention behind every DM (shoot their head, place crosshair as quick and accurately as possible between flicks) over only one week I saw improvement and consistently doing it will improve aim drastically. It just depends on what floats your boat. I love kovaaks but for me it doesn't translate in the slightest and makes me forget everything else about valorant

i loved this anime :3

DRX 4-12 FUR Champions 2022 except it's for map 2 of the grand finals

uhhh... if this post was meant for round one only you're DEFINITELY going in debt

ummmm... what happened to this game

3 deathmatches before and after q as warm up and warm down. sounds like a lot but you're gonna develop good mechs over time. Don't queue games in chains, try sticking to 2-3 games per session and draw your focus somewhere else, even if it's within valorant itself. Just don't queue over and over and over again, separate the queues if you're going to queue SO much. Try sticking to agents that are comfortable and just lock what you want, team comp doesn't matter as much as you think it does until you hit a much much higher elo. I would suggest learning a few simple lineups/setups or plays for your character on each map and then just instalocking it and playing comfortably and allowing your aim to shine by not having to think about your kit.

Pretty pwease? 🥺

oh u mean the tournament they played without the 1.5kd highest rated player in the league? yeah i'd also have an inkling they'd be a bit worse with role swaps and without the second coming of yay

Like 6 or 7

kovaaks versus all the gamers

Where did you read this? Wanna see changes for myself

Oh, cloud9 is not flattering either, but they have OXY as a saving grace.

ENVY. I really can't find anything to like about them 😭😭

I'm the ice man no more Mr nice man 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

down the line, over the waves...

you changed your name? crazy

and to make matters worse.... Twerk4Kirk is getting state funded....

just because the comp has two great defensive pieces it doesn't mean that it can't attack, these comps were mostly better at attack or at least on par simply because of how the slows and trips could be used to take passive control.

did everyone suddenly get super amnesia and forget all of 2024/2025 where double sentinel was played because it excelled at taking main control and stalling floods, which are both great traits to have to play attack?

there are 2 masters WINNERS in the lower bracket and Gen.G didn't even make playoffs, that is how much depth APAC has. Super cool to see, I just wonder how they'll play at a Masters stage. I'm so excited for these new teams like GE and FUT/EF to show that they came to play at these big events.

I think having a ton of new, hungry and scrappy teams who have to figure out post-Neon meta is going to be really cool. I think that teams like FS, GE, EF, and FUT can make runs in tourneys like these, which is exciting, and I wanna see unexpecting teams make their run in playoffs and int'l stages.

Full honestly, I don't really like it as much as I like the way franchising works currently, but at the same time it encourages orgs to join the game, so I don't really know how to feel, since I don't like the tournaments everywhere kind of formatting.

SCRAPYARD by quadeca

100% contributes to him not getting picked up, once prime Waylay got nerfed I don't think he has another meta agent down.

he is good enough to play tier two, that's not really the point. The point is, he's already good enough to play in tier two, but he won't perform in organized play nearly as well since he's very individualistic, he has ego problems which creates divide in teams, and he has accusations. Orgs don't want to risk their reputation being their player and their fan by picking up such a risky player, just for a guy that might be decent in tier two, likely at the expense of the rest of his team's mental. The Ego problems won't allow him to learn as quick as other, already developed talent. It's just not worth it.

Honestly I have no idea why he plays any organized valorant since all he does is swing your shit with no regard for the team anyways. He might have drive to compete but I doubt he'll improve nearly as fast as any good tier two talent.
