isnt that cringe that all 50 players on eg roster getting the VCT 2023 Champion title and all of them are tweeting about this?
the funniest thing is that they write Valorant champion in bio when they made zero or minimal effort to win championsđź’€. I don't think scrims against tier 4 reserve roster help them a lot

you act like players NEED to be on the stage in order to use a mere title
they are behind the scenes, helping when its much needed, strats, server time, mental help, getting food, giving out supplies
its the little things that matter, also you said that scrims dont matter against tier 4 reserve roster, IM SURE IT DOES IF THE MAIN ROSTER BECAME THE WORLD FUCKING CHAMPIONS
well i agree that scrims against higher quality players and teams would be much more beneficial to eg's main roster, however maybe if they want to try something small that can make a huge difference, the eg reserve roster is almost always ready since they are all together i assume
also its more flexible and lenient so they dont have to bother other teams when they wanna practice something at 3 am, its just better long term to have an additional roster for practice
Personally, I think it's a huge deal. Imagine having an army and training against each other, all behind closed doors. Your opponent wouldn't know what you're cooking up, and that's gotta be terrifying. It's the same thing here. The main squad doesn't even need to scrim other teams as much, because they have the reserve team to use as a 'punching bag' they dont need to show anything. This lets them focus on theory-crafting, limit-testing, and really going all out, without leaking strats in external scrims, in scrims you have to tip toe around as to not show your full capabilities, And let's be real, most scrims are fake and useless since no team wants to show their full potential; just like your they don't want to.They have the freedom for that, while other teams do not.
But here's the real deal: the reserve team can mimic certain play styles of opponents, which is pure gold for the main team. They get to understand how to counter those styles and even pick up on some hidden intricacies.
In my eyes, this is such an underrated tactic that literally NO top team is doing. This is how you build generational success. You stay ahead of the curve, you predict the meta, you keep evolving. When teams fall off the map in CSGO or Valorant, it's usually not because their mechanics went sour. No, it's because another team cracked their code, not their aim or niche set plays. And that's why you NEED a reserve team—to avoid the stagnation that sinks so many other squads.
