https://www.thespike.gg/

According to ChatGPT:

ChatGPT
When comparing VLR.gg and TheSpike.gg for Valorant content, both websites offer a range of features tailored to the needs of the Valorant community, but they have some differences that might make one more suitable depending on your specific preferences and needs.

VLR.gg

Cons:

TheSpike.gg

Summary
VLR.gg is better for those who want in-depth statistics, detailed coverage of professional matches, and active community discussions.
TheSpike.gg is preferable for users looking for a more user-friendly interface, comprehensive global event coverage, and features like fantasy leagues.
Ultimately, the "better" website depends on what you're looking for:

If you prioritize detailed stats and professional scene discussions, VLR.gg might be your go-to.
If you prefer ease of use and engaging features like fantasy leagues, TheSpike.gg could be the better choice.

ChatGPT
If I had to choose one, VLR.gg would be the better option. Its comprehensive coverage of professional matches, in-depth statistics, and active community features make it a more robust resource for serious Valorant fans and those looking to deeply engage with the competitive scene.

No way it has cs2 and fortnite now LMFAO
tbh its USED to be the better site (UI, general quality, stats, etc - not anymore, they fucked the UI and vlr caught up in stats and articles) but VLR was first and its forums got pretty big and thespikes never had a chance to grow because there wasnt really a big reason to use thespike over vlr when the forums were dead and VLRs werent

no site will come close to vlr post wise and it's got the better ui, but there's a couple sites that have better stats and cool features vlr should add

thespike is good for some stats, but recently found scoutly.co which has almost every stat is crazy. Vlr should steal a bunch of shit

I can’t decide if you copied and pasted that from a website or if you’re trying to do promotion and are involved

As a thespike OG, that site was initially waaay better than vlr tbh

Some issues between the owner and mod team/writers as well as more well known figures moving to vlr are mainly why it didnt stick - but it still is the best alternative

Also they have the whole 2d replay thing wich vlr still lacks and its been coming soon or in beta or whatever for 2 or 3 years now

Yes, there's websites that already have em. There's many types of fantasy leagues but the easiest way to put it is like a pickem for players. Basically you make a team of players and then get points based on how well do players perform in the actual games
