I think they could do it in a studio, I mean we're gonna have hella money from CN now, plus the bundles are doing really well. I think at this point I can safely think money wont be an issue, it's just a matter of Riot reinvesting into the scene instead of pocketing the profit.

Also to add on to this, I think it would also really help distinguish between champs and masters. Outside of the flashy colours, prize pool and number of teams attending the events are actually really similar.

Why don't they use the worlds format for champs? Personally I like it a lot better and I think it would be more entertaining. 16 teams in Swiss (no rematches) to a single elim playoff bracket. I think this would also fix the issue of having a boring venue for all but 4 teams in playoffs, as you can have ALL of playoffs in the Arena if you schedule it right. Single elim is slightly worse from a competitive standpoint, but I think Champs should really rally around the 'no last chances, this is the end of the year' type of vibe.

Here is the league format: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dp7GQJssP7Y

What are your thoughts?

its weird that stan culture has become accepted as normal
I think its creepy and parasocial as hell

I think its a downgrade rn, but it's not HUGE. Sacy was decent at champs

vlr is not ready to learn the slang term for arsenal fans

yup, NA quite literally have better MENA and DACH representation than 'EMEA'

get akai back and I think its doable

its probably better for you if you don't remember

yeah cool
maybe I would swap PCF and APK but its a 50/50 really for me

oh damn I didn't see that they requested the sub. That actually makes it really interesting, they should definitely explain why they didn't let them sub. If there's not a good explanation then this is actually a serious problem

fr at the very least hopefully some of these players get picked up in t1.
but ideally we win ascension 🙏🙏

im sorry bro they didnt 😭😭

Yes they kinda bs their way into playoffs

I would argue the game was still up for grabs by whoever, its just that the tech issues unfortunately sealed JL's grave

thanks! you too

I think its overall bad for the esport if a team with a majority of players who can't play in t1 win. They should either allow an exception for the 18 year old rule for ascension teams or they should limit the amount of players in that criteria. Ascension should be for... well ascending, not for trying to get 2nd place in hopes you get picked up by the 1st place org

hold on what
I had no idea about this, they're all free agents right? (I heard they came through ascension)

there should be rules to prevent this no? like a limit of say 2 players under 18 max by the time the next t1 season starts. Otherwise its a lose lose situation for everyone except the org

demon1??? hello????

dont think so

• tuxe

wtf i dont remember it going that hard
lmk when you find it

I think (could be wrong) only the grand finals are on LAN

real

I know they don't have akai, but I really want them to go all the way. 'EMEA' is just E right now. I really want to see a MENA team in pls 🙏🙏😭😭

also unlucky for JL, it was super possible but the tech issues were crazy unfortunate

a nice glass of water might help

yeah unlucky for them

holy jinx

so basically give non dive duellists their own class?
I think it makes sense but I don't really think it's that big of a problem

I checked earlier and APEKS were up like 11-2, I just checked now and its 11-10 wtf happened.

i was having fun at the waterslide when suddenly i noticed a big shadow covering the entire pool i looked up and there i saw him, Ardiis. He was coming straight for me, he jumped into the pool and the velocity of the wave that followed knocked me unconcious.

When i woke up i was chained in a cold and dirty room and there he was, streaming the popular shooter game VALORANT on Twitch while talking to his chat, somehow he managed to say the word "bro" 254 times in just 3 sentences how is that even possible?? I quickly realised that the chains were actually made of chocolate, confused (and mainly hungry) i started licking and sucking them as fast as i could and managed to crawl out of the room -that i presumed was probably his mothers basement- while remaining unseen.

I searched around the house for an exit and i quickly found the front door. As soon as i exited the building i saw a horde of angry Brazilians holding blowtorches and pitchforks chanting at ardiis and calling him a racist and a loser. I didn't really care so i tried to get out of the scene as soon as possible but just as i was about to step out of the house, ardiis put his enormous hand on my shoulder and whispered with a soft and melodic tone in my ear "You're not going anywhere pumpkin pie" and "Daddy's gonna take care of this swifly". He stepped out of the house and suddenly yelled "WATCH THIS" as he flamboyantly dashed into the air and suddenly made 5 knives materialise around him. He used the knives to effortlessly tap every single brazilian in the area.

I was so afraid, blood was spilled everywhere. When it all was over ardiis looked in my direction and i knew that it was over, if they didnt stand a chance, then i wouldnt either, so i just gave up. Ardiis started walkingin my direction each step making the ground shake. When he got to me he just sat down on me saying that i got cold and he needed to warm me up. After a while he took me inside the smelly basement again and took his clothes off. He started smelling me and licking my ear, and then he suddenly got very embarrased and told me i can just leave.

Turns out that this was a huge misunderstanding, this whole time he thought that i was a chocolate egg and he wanted to eat me. The disappointment on his face when he realized the mistake he had done was palpable, a tangible testament to the depth of his sorrow.

cNed - 53.5% winrate (MVP of 13% of the matches)
TenZ - 60.4% winrate (MVP of 15% of the matches)

can you take your time to appreciate how insane mwzera is? without a doubt the most talented player to ever touch the game

I'll try to explain briefly why I think he is the best player in the world
Despite his insane aim and movement
The best way to know if a player is a good duelist is RAZE. There is a BIG difference between a good duelist and a jett abuser
If he is a good duelist, he needs to be good with raze.

heat? not good with raze
aspas? not good with raze
xand? not good with raze
tenz? not good with raze
cned? not good with raze
scream? not good with raze
d3ffo? not good with raze
derke? not good with raze

Thats why I think he is undoubtely the best player in the world. If RIOT by any means decides to nerf jett and shift the meta we prolly not gonna even hear names like cned and tenz again :>
He is not killing 40+ per map because when he joined VK he was forced to play a different role because heat is already a main jett... and lets be honest, every single duelist nowadays gets 20+ kills per map because team and setups are basically built around you (even steel managed to get 20 kills with it https://www.vlr.gg/29398/sentinels-vs-100-thieves-champions-tour-north-america-stage-3-challengers-playoffs-gf/?game=46692&tab=overview)

crashies crashing out
gl to him

the best one I can think of is trembo single handedly convincing like 40% of the viewerbase that aspas is a baiter

inspiring

the lesson I take from this is watching 16 hours of valorant a day pays off. thanks sliggy I will now do that
(I still have no clue how he does it, thats like some next level commitment)

WH?ATT????

I think its unrestricted bc his contract is over

2024 (spoiler they cooked again this year):
