do you guys remember the thing where mel got a t1 opportunity taken away cause a player didnt want to play with a woman
theres no way that was ever going to go through all the way cause she is so bad. she woulda had like a .45 k/d with terrible calls and util use (not saying it didnt happen cause she was a woman but it woulda fell through anyway cause she isnt a top 50 gc player let alone a top 50 player)
also does anyone have the source on that comment i cant find it
Isn't Game changers already considered tier 1. Since it has to be higher than the ascension league since the game changers league actually has international lans, while ascension at most has a regional Lan. Riot recognizes the game changers championship with a buddy and title in game just like every other international lan.
To be fair, the recognition riot gives is for the welfare and the promotion of gender equality in the fps, and in the general gaming scene.
The point is, recognition does not equal elevated level of play. i think riot is doing good work with supply the GC scene with more recognition, but it's very clear that the level of competition is below tier 2. this might sound misogynistic, but to be blunt, many GC players in general have never even hit radiant or even imm3, whereas the average tier 2 player has hit radiant for a few acts, showing consistency to perform at the highest level.
TL;DR: Riot recognizes GC more b/c its been a marginalized scene and had low windows of opportunity in the past. recognition is therefore not equal to skill, as proven by many forms of statistics.
bro, this is just nitpicking now.
the g league is comprised of males, not females. you're also referring to the g league stomping "piss poor countries" at the Olympics, against other males. how is this anecdote relevant to the argument.
jesus christ. i really don't get on how many levels you could introduce fallacious statements
you said the example, not me!
im saying that men play against men in the NBA and the men's category of the olympics because you tried using these examples to compare to t2 (99% being men) versus GC (marginalized genders and identities).
you started making irrelevant comparisons, so I merely pointed it out.
ranked is merely a show of mechanical skill in an uncoordinated environment. ranked only proves that if you outaim, you win.
however, it is a tac FPS after all, and aim is a very relevant part of VALORANT.
on the other hand, if you want to talk about general pro play and organized/constructed gameplay, there has been instances of very washed tier 1 players rolling through in-form tier 2 players, but giving benefit of doubt, let's just claim that they are merely showmatches/friendlies, so they aren't too relevant.
even with this point across, tier 2 pros have proven that they roll through GC competition. in a few years I hope that GC can send some players to t1, but I don't think it'll be too soon.
and if I mention about Bob... i would be labeled as a misogynist, but as far as I know bob has been trans even before EXO.
oh, and even with that unsaid point across, Bob is one player out of countless in GC. where is your point?
are you going to try to nitpick every single player that fits your tiny frame?
also you are also wrong on this point LOL
rossy did pretty bad in his stints in TSM and FAZE, but as time passed, you could see his improvement as a player and as a teammate, especially in the long stretch of games he had with TT (Turtle Troop). This is where his form came in, and T1 saw this and picked him up. now, he's doing great!
next player? you're currently 0/6 on players that you thought would fit your ridiculous example.
