LEV AC JUST 13-0d SHINDEN LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

if I had to guess it'd be to have more teams through ascension that actually deserve to be there bc they did well and less teams like FURIA for example. Though idk how they would do the format in 2027 with so few teams to begin with, unless the promote 2 teams from ascension in 2026?

you argument is not bad but u cant expect some people to understand when there are some asking why EG shouldn't stay simply bc of a miracle run in 2023 when pretty much everything else they do in valorant is subpar to several other orgs in and out of franchising.

I have a very annoying bug where the enemies actually shoot back and prevent me from getting sick clips like those

ur like lev's ac lucky charm, everytime i see u predict against them, they win. Let's see if this continues to be the case lol

Hurts me but Oke has to go, to my knowledge Neon doesn't have good English and having Oke would mean having to comm in English.

I like something like

Neon (Second duelist/Flex(?))
Sato (Main duelist)
Kingg (Smokes)
Feniz(Senti)
Blowz(Initiator)

Honestly Neon flexing some smokers or something might be a bit awkward but considering how good he is you just gotta make him fit. I have also heard people throw the idea of rerolling Neon to senti but idk man, it's actually kind of a tough decision to make. All Neon, Ghoul, Blowz and Erde are super talented but we cant fit them all (Mirada too but he is just 17 thats why im not mentioning him)

who you taking out of KRU if not Shyy

if anything I see it more likely for him to go to LEV 2026. KRU isn't dropping Shyy and LEV doesn't have a sentinel in the academy (of age) unless they reroll someone.

omg lev academy mentioned :3

run aint happening if they cant win 3v1s lmfao, at least they already qualified to latam finals but jesus christ. Game winning round and they play a 3v1 in the worst way possible

lmfaoo

they kinda deserve to lose after that. They had the win right there

props to him but jesus what a throw from 6k. It was a 3v1 postplant

comment above :)

I wanna believe on their ascension run

I highly doubt Riot bases partner team decisions solely on performance. Even then, EG hasn’t shown consistent top results outside of their impressive 2023 Champs win, and their overall investment in the scene is minimal because they don’t have a Game Changers team, no academy, and spend little on rosters. Even their champs roster was mostly rookies who happened to find success with Potter. Marketing and brand wise, they don't make much content, aren't among the top teams in bundle sales, and it is a very barebones org who has exited pretty much every other eSport. At this point, it feels like they’re only sticking around in Valorant because of Riot’s yearly stipend.

Ofc that's how I see it, you can disagree but if not EG who would you kick?

urangoat might just save furia

lev might be replaced with another latam org

and replace them with who? 9z is the best candidate and they are mainly a CS org and have been stuck on LATAM tier 2 for ages, hell they're even losing to LEV's academy rn. LEV has always been semi-competitive other than this last year and more than MIBR (Who you want to keep) historically for example. Marketing wise they do lots of content on social media and their bundles have been top 3 and top 1 respectively in americas. Investment wise they are one of the few teams that has both invested in GC and an Academy. It just wouldn't make sense tbh

u think? pretty sure as an org EG is more in shambles than C9. RIOT values that a lot

hi bronzil_enjoyer

what team u signing for thanatos11

Rumor is that they're most likely having 8 franchised teams, thus only kicking 2. If I had to guess, accounting for historical performance, brand/marketing and investment I would do the following. I'd kick FURIA, MIBR and then I'd additionally kick EG and give their spot to G2. If u wanna know why I'm kicking/not kicking a team feel free to ask and I'd gadly explain my reasoning. I can be wrong but I think my thought process makes a lot of sense. Thoughts? I wanna hear what teams yall would have.

I'd have:

NRG
SEN
KRU
LEV
LOUD
G2
100T
C9

11-1 Comeback????

who remembers ☺️

whore members 😥

agreed

Do you think FURIA could beat KOI?

fr

We robbed yall by selling Natank to u guys

Havent u seen him play, he can cook both in and out of the server

Option A:

• Your team wins both Masters and Champions
• Get all Valorant skins in ur account
• 1 Million dollars

Option B:

bro trynna be like urangoat

so much aura

Im gold 3 but isnt this like a way better smoke, and the one you mean right?

😘

his celebration is cold ngl

I'm bored so title basically. It can't be from the team u support tho

Mine is stax or Oxy. I'm torn between the two tbh

why is urango not on here

it's so cooked bro, we been loking better but it might not matter bc we can't make champs unless we're literally Top 1/2 at playoffs 💀💀💀

around Bronze 1 or so

i see no one putting him in top 1 oat???? genuine robbery.

he literally is the GOAT!!!!!!

AND HE'S STILL GIVING CHARITY TODAY BY GIFTING WINS TO LESS FORTUNATE PLAYERS!!!!!

recency bias is a disgusting thing

insert any team owns FURIA

pre franchise, KRU 3/4 on 2021, LOUD dominating 2022 and LEV top 8.

Exactly, pre franchise. They would still be franchised leagues, just divided. So we would still have all the negatives of a closed league while not having better teams to scrim with. The only positive I see is getting rid of VISA issues and that's it

i'd explain it but it's lots of complicated math so u just gotta trust me fam

lmfao i had never heard this one before

W leo fartia for once

Picked up by FURIA, a team known for signing the worst rosters in all of VCT and even in such a lackluster team he only lasted 1 stage

not a sacrifice im willing to make

And it's very simple why that's the case. Having that sudden increase in SA teams with the few available top players from the region would mean picking up previously dropped players that didn't perform well. What's the issue then? Well, it severely increases the chance of raafa (AKA Mr. 0.66 Rating) getting back to VCT. I know, scary.
