Everyone you named except cryo and alfajer were in the last international tournament (well.... and derke, but that's a bit different)

ie. 5 of 7 you named

Made ANS go back to Overwatch, and his team just won a tournament. Funny enough, Patiphan is on the same team

.

Food

I like it, but basically it could only replace a secondary weapon unlike in cs:go where it's its own thing

RAY4C!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BBG or Complexity. Both orgs create decent teams and then sell their sought after players out. LG has amazing people like mada and bdog, who will be bought out

Are we talking in Valorant or in general? The question needs to be more specific, but I'd assume you mean any org founded in Europe. It's a bit odd because TL is a European org, but they have a League of Legends team in NA which is a huge part of their brand and possibly profits. As far as I understand, G2 is only in Europe except their Rocket League team which is in NA.

I'm not sure why you're downvoted, but I bet you they have 4-5 Koreans on the roster within the next 2 years. It's obvious they're building a Korean team in NA. I don't think they'll move back to Korea because the NA viewership and scene is strong right now.

They did in the Overwatch League, and they'll do it again in Valorant.

Still NA, but I'd bet my life savings that they turn out to become a mostly KR team or full KR team (whether located in NA or KR) within the next 2 years

Since the Washington Justice

because we don't see the question asked, and the quote doesn't have to be his full statement. We can all admit that plenty of csgo players moved to Valorant for money, but Twistzz full statement could've been, "We saw so many new players move to VALORANT because they just wanted the easy money, and I can't blame them for it". Context means a lot.

Facts.

Twistzz isn't wrong that some people moved for easy money (at least in the beginning), but there are many other reasons why it made sense outside of that. Some people actually like Valorant more than csgo. Hell, even having a fresh take on a game that changes helps your mental state.

As a side note, I think the quote is taken out of context. Hell, there is no context and they just list the quote. I went to the article and it's not even there, it's only the headline.

I do agree with T1 being unsavable. They've let go of so many top end players and can't seem to do anything no matter who they pick up. Sayaplayer to TGRD and seven to TSM, both in Groups right now. Let's not forget crashies and victor as well. Even then they weren't a top team.

I mean why not wait until tomorrow to see how the game plays out?

Probably because Sinatraa fans and the dude's acting all high and mighty trying to explain what rape is while calling someone random over the internet a virgin and a kid.

OP's an idiot. They think Girl Kissers are a joke and want to say NA is bad for losing to them, but they're filled with players that have been on T2 teams since Valorant came out. They're not nobodies. 3 of them were on Renegades together and it looks like they happen to mesh well together with the the other 2.

At least in NA, we saw TGRD come out of nowhere, although technically owned by a big org (former Sentinel's partner in Overwatch). I've personally never heard of XSET before Valorant, so I don't know if they're a big org or not, but they're pushing to make it.

Hell, right now we have Girl Kissers making a run right now, beating V1 and might make it to the Group Stage of Challengers.

Nice! Best of luck finding a team.

bdog's Chamber is good, but is he even close to Mada? No. Plus, his Jett is mid at best, averaging a .90 k/d and 120 ADR.

Mada's Raze is by far the best in NA. On top of that, Mada top fragged/mvp'd 4 of the last 5 games (not just maps). To top that off, this is while he has many maps flexing on other picks such as Sage and Kayo.

You're simply wrong if you think bdog is even close to mada on a top 10 list in NA.

bdog is included but mada isn't? Instantly awful list if you rate bdog over mada

Anyone can be a duo, wtf!?!

Early dicey and babybay played chamber/jett.

If you mean people who compliment each other when entering a site, then that still doesn't work for babybay and dicey.

Sinatraa got signed right after winning a championship and being MVP of another shooter. He had a name for himself with a following. TenZ might be up there, but I'd wager Shahz is behind those 2, followed by Dapr and (what was Zombs)

That was a casted game right? Clip?

All this thread shows me is that Sentinels are living rent free in your head

girl kissers is filled with previous T2 players (3 from Renegades). Let's not pretend like they're no names.

I had the unfortunate situation of having to live in England for a few years :'(

Let's not forget all the top chefs of England are French trained. You stole every culture in the world and still eat beans for breakfast. You talk about American politics even more than your own. You guys don't have air conditioning and still have many houses that use oil for heating. You have sinks with 2 separate faucets in one sink, one for ice cold and one for burning hot. Your water pressure is atrocious. People in London can't save a dime no matter what job they hold due to the cost of rent versus your poverty wages and awful taxes. Let's not forget you have a TV tax which made some woman come to my house at 8pm and check my house to see if I had a TV because I wasn't paying a TV tax.

It's unsurprising that drinking at a pub in the middle of the day is seen as normal. Need I go on?

The reason they're playing in these tournaments instead of sticking to the women-only tournament scene is because they want to improve. They know that they're currently behind, but the best way to get better is by playing against people better than you and learning.

Additionally, C9W will never get past T2 because they limit their talent pool. Even reaching T2 will be hard for them. "Men's teams" are co-ed. If you're the best, they want you. Women only teams are like academy teams, built to push women into getting better and eventually creating less of a disparity in skill between men and women in competition. Obviously it's a double-edged sword since they don't compete with the top teams. If 470 of the top 500 players in NA are male due to the disparity, then a pool of 30 will limit them. A woman only team will simply never reach T1 and it'll be hard to reach T2 unless 15-20% of the top 500 players are women.

Name 1 T1 or T2 player that hasn't touched Radiant. This dude hasn't touched Radiant from my edit.

He's a great player to say the least, but I'm very skeptical of T2 play. T3, sure.

I wish them the best and if they grind they can get there. I just don't see the point of lying when looking for a team. They're going to see your rank.

Feel free to downvote me, but if this person can't maintain Radiant, I'm calling BS on T2 experience. What team?

Other than that, I do wish you the best, but I kinda hate when people lie. It's definitely a bad way to promote yourself, and kinda silly considering you admit being Imm 3/radiant instead of just saying radiant.

edit: Presumably this is you: https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/mot3%23UU10/overview

Peak Immortal 507 rr, currently Immortal 2. Super close to Radiant, but haven't touched it.

TSM org's name is already in the dirt with LoL and Regi as well as their LoL coach. Can't do that much more harm by picking him up, so honestly.... they might.

They get absolutely dominated by no name teams which can be seen in their match history. I'm talking T3 and below.

You're right that they will stay on the women only roster because they make so much more money by doing that, and guaranteed good pay and no pressure to do well as a woman in a male dominated competitive scene

I think Faze comes back as a Tier 2 team, but will never reach Tier 1

DRX went on like a 60 game winstreak in their region. Optic is nowhere close to doing something like that

Nah. Even from the last 30 days (Iceland), Trent's stats stomp crashies subpar stats, and that's with TGRD winning 1 of 5 maps while Optic won 15 of 21 maps. It's not even close with Trent vs crashies. Crashies should have padded stats from wins and he still looks subpar.

Is he a good player? Yes. Is he a better player than Trent? No.

If we're going with results from Master's, technically EMEA doesn't make Top 4. Obviously they didn't have their best team there, so that plays a part, but as of right now we have no idea how their best team plays internationally.

Also let's be honest, EMEA got dominated and almost every other region appeared to have gotten much better. I didn't see anything special out of EMEA (namely G2 and TL, but ignoring Fnatic's results due to their circumstances)

but not judging a team for not making it is pretty bad in this sense. That's like saying we shouldn't judge Sentinels for not making this Master's, and since they dominated the only one they went to, then they're the best results internationally, no?

because they couldn't make it to the top 4 LMAO

Probably some EU org. I see G2 mentioned a lot, so... that?

In tournament success or wealth?

Nope, and this has happened every tournament.

EMEA came all this way just to not make it to the finals KEKW

Fun fact, I haven't downvoted because I'm not a loser. Rent free

Bronzillians getting baited hard. Sentinels live rent free in their head, it's fantastic to witness

Zombs has to be the twitter manager, surely. Dude's gonna get benched so he can focus on that full time and troll the Bronzillians.

OP must be 12

Victor's looking great, but Food will always be the GOAT

I believe it someone downvotes a comment, that's when they're living rent free, and my comment has already been downvoted, possibly by you. EZ rent free
