dont listen to him kaplan, LEV is doomed against goat neT. Prep a strat book to counter mitch trust

The game only matters for MIBR due to the extra champs point no? LOUD doesn't care about this cuz they are already out

furia is just cursed, they can't be upgraded. The only fix for them is to disband, leave VCT and give their spot to someone else

and im saying Fer definitely wouldn't drop bank for a flex when he already has a good one to pick from for free, but we are imagining rosters aren't we lol. Plus he has stated multiple times that academy players have priority. The only reason he hasn't picked up one yet is because they weren't of age.

if Fermago was to drop money for a brazilian player the only one making sense would be Lukxo since we don't have a senti for a portuguese speaking team since the one in the academy is 17.

The team would be:

Sato (Duelist)
Kingg (Smokes)
Neon (Flex)
Blowz (Initiator)
Lukxo (Senti)

lol, Neon is the best at the academy plus he is free and spike isn't. What's the point of having an academy if ur just gonna keep dropping money instead of signing the talent you formed. Unless spike is totally free this move would be absolute nonsense. A talent like spike is most needed in other brazilian teams, LEV has plenty of young talent to choose from already

icl it's the first time I hear from him, didn't even know him before your comment lol. My knowledge on CN is -100 lmfao

If LEV is gonna be picking kids from the academy the first one to be picked is Neon, so replace spike for Neon and this is more realistic

I doubt LEV would go tbh unless they pull of crazy shit. LEV have been looking substantially better but not Top 2 kinda better. So even if they make like top 3/4 in playoffs they won't go bc of points. We'd have to beat SEN/G2 but a man can dream.

at least 9 years old for sure

it's FURIA we are talking about, don't give them too much credit. I could see them signing mwzera and khalil once again lmfao

instead of kicking 2G from franchising they kick FURIA so 2G can stay

easy deal. You get rid of the fraudulent team and make the BR community happy cuz no smart brazilian would say no to this offer.

spike def gets picked up by a brazilian team in Tier 1 for next year

Did SEN lose the map bc they aren't that good or 2G suddenly better OR does SEN just not care lol

I'm leaning towards the second but what do yall think

it doesn't matter, even if they lose here and G2 win, SEN won the H2H against G2 so they will still finish #1 in their group. Plus, they already got enough points to make champs so they don't care about the champs point from this game either. Pretty boring game if u ask game, this game doesnt matter for either SEN or 2G

2G is cooked bruv, let it go

It's actually kinda hard to say. I bet some players that have been in FURIA aren't even bad, but FURIA is just so dysfunctional as a unit that being on the team makes u look bad. Look at heat, he and keznit were fragging like crazy last year. Now heat is looking rough af

sometimes it's fine to skip some games yknow. I'm prob gonna still watch cuz im gonna eat dinner but these are rough games lmfao

These matches are super skippable. FURIA game is always a win for the opponent and 2G ain't gonna do anything against SEN.

piggy ur no longer in 100T, no need to keep glazing them 🥀

that's the magic of groups, sometimes a team from group A will go even though a team from group B is better but wont go bc their group is more competitive.

My sources are saying G2 is planning on selling leaf, babybay and half the club's assets to try and buy Urango from FURIA. I doubt FURIA will accept such a low offer but wow

My team just won but I just realized I just reached 5000 posts on VLR...

Never said it was easy. That's why it's a dream run. 1% possibilities 99% faith

LEV CEO just confirmed Sato already has 2 additional years worth of contract WITHOUT a leaving clause. Meaning, unless we kick him, he won't be leaving until the 2028 Season. WE WON LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SATOOO.

I have a dream.

Could've beat them 2-0 but felt like trolling and giving 100Trolls 1 map. We are noticeably better and deserve the win so I'll take it ofc

I love him sm

Satori satooo

I suppose it was a gamble then, we could've stayed the same or become this

Depending when you made the bet it wasn't a bad of a bet tbh, we had some really ugly lows but if u made the bet recently u trolled fam

Hell yeah it matters, if we win we play against C9, if we don't we have chances to play against G2. That's one less hard game for the dream to be a possibility lol

I'm sad but then remember we have sato and sadness goes away

Right, the reason there aren't many LAN players in VCT isn't bc LEV or KRU dont wanna sign players due to their nationality. It's because the talent there is scarce compared to LAS and they are expensive to sign. If LEV and KRU who have more money don't sign them, I don't see why another org would.

I think some orgs are up to the task like Lyon, they have a LoL team in the north division and are doing just fine. As for representation... Well, LAN does have good players but they aren't abundant, plus the few good LAN players tend to have pretty hefty buyouts. Look at Xolos for example, best team in LAN and 2 of their players are from LAS. Also worth mentioning that KRU and LEV have tried LAN players in the past but haven't signed them because the LAN teams charge a lot. So while I see ur argument of putting in a LAN team in VCT to give more representation to LAN players, it's by no means a guaranteed. The first example that comes to mind is Darker, he would've probably been in VCT way before Virtyy if it wasn't bc Xolos was asking too much money for him, even for an org like KRU.

So yeah, you can give an org like Lyon the spot, but that won't mean they will have the resources to suddenly pick up the best talents of LAN. They would probably either have to pick average LAN players (Which I heavily doubt would do good in VCT) or pick from LAS where players are cheaper

Xolos 2-1 Shinden

see ik ur clueless when u say EXL cuz even though they doing good, their insfrastructure is several times worse LEVs, 100T and NRG. RIOT ain't picking them up in 10 years unless they fix their shit. They've literally had problems with not paying players lol. Also who tf is 9k

^

that's all fine but give me the 3 teams u'd kick then and why they deserve to be kicked, get ur hands wet.

if u had to kick a third to add G2 who would u kick

veremos, igual si despues pierde LOUD estamos dentro pero es mejor entrar por merito propio. De todas formas si queremos ir a Champions tenemos que tener nivel de sobra para ganarle a 100T. Si no les ganamos a ellos, aunque entremos a playoffs no tenemos chances de ganarle a SEN/G2 para ir a champs

fyi LEV CEO said that if the academy kids were of age they would've been picked up for the 2025 team btw

I get what u mean and ur probably right but I'm basing my choices based off merit. Like, historically FURIA and MIBR have been the worst Americas teams in terms of performances, marketing and investment. If you need to kick teams and it's not them then who do you kick? Every other team in the league has done better historically, it wouldn't be fair. The fact that both happen to be from SA is just unlucky. If riot wants to have 8 teams in 2027 tough choices need to be made sadly, and add to that an additional team getting kicked bc G2 needs to be in franchising. My guess would be EG getting replaced by G2.

But based off merit which 3 teams would you kick?

a while back i made a thread asking whats the best place to discuss VCT and plenty of people spoke badly about that subreddit lol

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.
