Kryptix has good experience from playing in tier 1 and in team like Team Liquid under Sliggy's coaching. He might not be your pick for one of the best tier 1 teams, but he is decent addition to a lot of tier 2/3 teams.

this is a tier1 team bro, kyrptix is a bit overkill for tier 2/3 xd too much experience for that level

I don't know would I call this team tier 1. Obviously it depends on where you put the line. In my head tier 1 in Valorant is currently relatively small group.

tier1 are the people regularly qualifying for the tier1 events so looking at rankings eu i would say roughly top 30-34

yeah, the official rules for all vrls say that you need 1 local player in all games + 1 player on your roster that doesn't have to play, so it can be a coach, a sub, or a random family member that you just added to ur roster

Makes sense, I thought we were the only dumb ones. Does that apply to the Russian and Turkish vrls then?

I think he does have the nationality ( https://liquipedia.net/valorant/Derke ). But still they could just get a random sub

I don't think nationality matters too much in this, local players are defined as Locally Trained Players, which indicates their long-time residence, or playing for teams from that region for a longer period of time would make you one, instead of your nationality.

also even if thry got relegated from vct, which I highly doubt, they definitely wouldn't be getting a sub just to play in the cis vrl. they're a british org and already have 3 players, a coach, and more staff that make them eligible for vrl northern, so I'm 99% sure they'd just play there

That doesn’t really make sense, players. Does that mean that Riot doesn’t consider idk xeta as Korean?

The joke is if they are gonna end up going to the easier qual in CIS

for the qualifiers, at least that's what the rules were last season, you could join any of the 3 qualifier no matter if you had 0 russians or turks, I think there was a Turkish team in the EU qualifier this time around as well - Digital Athletics

and about xeta, this specific ruleset only applies to emea, but if something like that came to fruition in na or korea, i think they'd follow the lol example, where players stop counting as imports after playing and residing in the region for 3 years, so xeta would not count as a local player in NA just yet.

say that 3 years would already have passed and he was considered a na local player, and he decided to move back to korea, I think he'd be immediately considered as a local player in korea

Nice news! EMEA is actually looking really good rn with all these relatively big orgs joining in. Having orgs invested like BIG, Vitality, Alliance, Mouz, Excel, NaVi, possibly Virtus Pro is really good for the scene even if they are more of budget teams.

"The team will play in VCT DACH and are expected to get a second DACH player who will be on the bench."

does that mean they will get another player from DACH and put him in bench just so they can compete in vrl dach? isn't that a little bit sad for the player who get benched LUL

maybe it will be a coach/analyst who is good enough to play in diamond/low imm level.
there are many options to get around the rules

There's inevitably going to be roster changes after a bit but this is a solid roster to enter into Valorant with. al0rante is really special player and is a great centerpiece for this roster. Kryptix used to be a great player and even though he wasn't great at the end of his time on Liquid, I think he'll be much better after his break. Memset is a great sentinel main, luzuh is a good main duelist and Amilwa is the IGL. I'm mostly excited about Mouz in Valorant because of how they always find such great talents in cs(NiKo, ropz, frozen, torzi, etc.) and they already got one in Valorant with al0rante.

Such a silly take. Kryptix is insane, bro. He's played tier 1 Val at the highest level. The kid is absolutely cracked. Watch his streams and maybe you'll get a feel for his raw aim and talent since apparently everything he achieved with Liquid isn't enough. As good as the best sentinels in the world? Maybe not quite... but he's hardly an average player.
