Fnatic was the first "dominant" team in Valorant history (Dominant in terms of year long not a short period of time ---> Example: Sen 2021)
China is still a one team region regardless of Trace and EDG doing good in champs
Clove is a bad controller comparing to omen and astra even in ranked
The "goat" of Valorant is not born yet (TenZ is considerable)
NA and SA valorant doesn't have to be hostile against each other since they are all considered as one region in franchising (U can argue that they have sub sections in challengers)
EU and China has the most amount of talents
Yay wasnt a "bad" player in 2024, he was decent but he just didnt live up to his expectations
Without Chamber yay would still be a good player and Optic would still be very good in LANs, but not good enough to win Reykjavik
2024 > 2021
Some of the players that were very cracked at the start of valorant would be only a decent player even below average if they started their career in 2024
The weakest LAN winner is ACE (Then FPX)
Chet is a pretty cool guy and coach and shouldnt deserve the hate he got
Team Heretics arent chokers they just werent "the best team in the world"

Linear
- Sage is a controller (She fit almost perfectly to the description riot give)
- Worst patch ever of Val was 5.07 (Flasher update, making soloQ flasher even more soloQ, and proplay flasher even more proplay), this patch solely prove that Riot don't understand the main problem of balance of the game
- SoloQ should be ABSLUTELY DELETED (For metal sanity reason, and for competitive reason), and the only ELO you could be able to win, is the ELO of your team (Equivalent of Ranked team in LoL in 2015)
- Head to head is the worst horrible tiebreaker ever invented (Reverse head to head is bad, but least worst then head to hand) and it's not that hard to prove mathematically
- The only chance GE have to do one day a top grand final of any event is to go full Indian (but it will at least take 5 years)
- NA Tier 2 should be splited in 3 or maybe 2
- Every T2 region should have a T3 system like in polaris
- Valorant should give color team (Red and cyan is confusing, especially when you are in atk POV)
- Meta mean "Most Efficient Tactics Avaliable", no "Most Used Tactic", stop saying META about something that have 80% Pick Rate and 40% NMWR
- We should reduce to 8 round per half
- Number of gold in OT shouldn't be the same at round 25/26 and at round 27/28 for more diversity
Nekos will conquer valorant
- how so? look at her kit: she slows, which fits senti util, and she walls, which also delays a push like a typical senti. her heal/res doesn't really fit into any role.
- yes
- what would happen to people who have a hard time finding ppl to queue with? also, sometimes people want to play alone and play with new people. i played lol from 2011/12 and ranked team '15 felt pretty bad and unrewarding.
- idk what reverse head to head is, explain?
- interesting but i disagree heavily. it'll take at least another 7-8 years unfortunately (being deadass)
- split in what way? like west central east?
- BAD TAKE. especially for larger countries. in EU, its very east to split based on region since you have many smaller countries to divvy up, but in NA, you can't really split the region into smaller t3 comps (and we already have premier and NACL quals, as well as GC to funnel into t2 talent).
- yes
- most people don't care enough to enforce the acronym of META to its full extent. also, at the t1/t2 level, most played tactics are usually THE meta tactics (chamber comps in 2022 as an example). in ranked, though, your point makes sense.
- why so?
- yes
- maybe thats debatable
- meh
- no shi sherlock
- maybe prob born just not in pro scene yet
- just because they are in the same region doesn't mean they should all go along well
- idk about china but tbf I don't watch that region a lot so prove me wrong
- based
- based
- not controversial
- omg no way
- not controversial
- mishandled situations
- I KNOW RIGHT I AGREE
1.) GMB, OPTIC, LOUD were all pretty dominant not as dominant as fnatic but up there
2.) Depends what you define a 1 team region. if you mean trophy winning potential I agree
3.) Disagree in ranked, she has a very good wr there and in the hands of good players does extremely well
4.) agreed
5.) agreed
6.) I think china still needs some development in terms of talent but as new players join, this take becomes more agreeable
7.) Agreed, there are worse tier 1 players than him, but I believe overall he was average-below average (lack of team structure obv affects this)
8.) just a fact, look at 2021 masters berlin
9.) Agreed, this shouldnt be contro
10.) This is just a fact
11.) Agreed, ACE are the weakest, I disagree with the FPX take however when they won, they were really good and consistent
12.) yeah agreed
13.) Absolutely
- Optic?
- TEC + TE +FPX + STFU they shocked you last year theyll do it again
- sure whatever
- No way the game lasts another 18 years lmao (also the goat is Rb)
- I havent seen that
- No its Americas and its not close
- Yes also duelists without good setup are very hard to do well (look at demon1)
- Yes LOUD would have won but they prob still get 2nd
- Yes
- Yes (cough xeppaa cough asuna)
- Yes on both
- 100% #freeChet #banJohnQT
- Eh they didnt choke Shanghai/champs but they def choked EMEA leauge
