Holy molecules

Yeah, URSS is the french name, forgot to traduce that part (ex that become ez wasnt on purpose)

Indian teams have faced taiwanese

Best Taiwanese play in China, not in taiwanese team, with player that have experience of Tier 1 and international player (In bold)
Tawanese player in T1 : BerLIN, Green, happywei, Nicc, qiutiaN, Setrod, SpiritZ1, Spring, WsLeo, Yuicaw (And you can add S1mon)

Even Hong Kong might be favorite over India : coconut, heybay, jkuro, NoMan, SiuFatBB, 4 player went into international event, India have 0

More I think about it, more I think they are no way India makes top 2 during the qualifier XD, even if Japan, China and Korea got a direct pass. But it's still gonna be really really interesting. Where I can see the list of the countries that will participate ?

Cause thats the 2nd GC team that win a qualifier into T2

Hard to guess who gonna gonna have a direct invite. I'll say :

• Canada
• USA
• Brasil
• China
• Russia
• Turkey
• Korea

Will be 100% there, If it's only based on level it's pretty open :

• Poland
• Indonesia
• Thailand
• Japan
• Chile (Not fully sure)
• Philippines (Only remaining country that have 5 player in T1, but so weak they might not have one)
  [3 places left] (Note that no other European team got more than 2 proplaye, so maybe Lithuania, Finland, Czequia or Argentina)

If they by are made in a way not based on performance only but with politics

• India (Yes It's a possibility you got a direct bye)
• France
• UK
• Germany
• Spain
• Saudia Arabia (I think they will have a Willcard not being qualified like that)

So that mean you maybe have to beat Kaz, MN, Taiwan (If they can play), Uzbek, Pak, and maybe Japan (If not a direct invite). I'm not fully sure you can beat ex-URSS team, but it's not impossible. I think it's might be Taiwan > Japan > Mongolia > India / Kaz, but I will still cheer for India

I didn't update the data yet, buuut on the 4 first year of Val, so before Breach massive nerf, viper did have a 24% PR with a positive Winrate, I do think she is now the correct option over Breach, in this meta I would probably go Viper+Neon+Smoke, and probably Skye+Senti

Love is war, Call of the Night,

Interesting analysis, I like it.

What about OP player, I thougt they where anchor but they are rotator in fact ?

Omega Viper vs Alpha Viper

Yeah, I should extend 2nd entry to the playmaker senti like Chamber and Veto

So basically :
entry/contact : duelist
2nd entry/rotator : 2nd duesit, flasher
support/rotator : reveal
lurker/anchor : senti/smoke
lurker/anchor : senti/smoke
?

AMERICAS: You cant add 3 more NA team, LAN doesnt have any team.

• 1 LAN, and it will be obviously Lyon, for anyone that know the legacy of Lyon (And 6K) in LAN
• 1 BR, 2G proved being worth, investing in GC and T2 while so many other T1 team invest nothing.
• 2 NA, G2, M80

EMEA: I agree with EMEA

APAC: You need an OCE structure, I vote for FQ Oceania like in CS. Mongolz good, NS would probably be partner and not ascended, VN need also a team

CHINA: RA, IG, maybe RNG

You can play hjer on every map

Good contender, but the nerf hit haaard

Bro, if you want him to be up you should stop play him

https://www.vlr.gg/644967/fracture-meta

They may matter less, but thats compensate by the fact they manage to win against a better team

If a bad team beat a good done in groups, then it's a good sign :X
If group if that irrelevant, then maybe you should support the fact we should get rid of it x)

And vice Versa, 2G that would beat a great team using this compo would mean a lot

We need to stop consider Senti is a role, we should talk about offensive flex (Duel, flash, some senti), and defensive flex (controller, sentinels)

You want pull the data for only 2 teams ? Sample size will not be big enough

if I take 2025 Split2 only, EG, GE, 2G, KOI, M8, NS, G2, RRQ, DFM, XLG, AG, KRU, T1, EDG,
On the whole year 18% PR, 50% WR

Shipping isn't weird it's just the result of people with a lot of imagination. Hating is weird. And people that ship char together have other personality traits. Some of them have a great life and som of them use the story they made as an escaping mecanism, oth are okay

I think it's not confirmed, and you can always consider it's their counterpart, for exemple Viper from omega did have sex with Chamber, but Viper from Alpha is a femcel who is afraid to bound with anyone because they are afraid to hurt them.

So I dont feel it's a problem

I admit they are... So many gay fandoms, and I do think that's okay, nobody is "confirmed straight" (Viper is a good example, she slept with Chamber, she could be bi, we have no idea).

I do think people love write story and good char inspire them for some story, and val char are insanely well written char (especially Viper), so they are a lot of fanmade stories, some of them are good some other don't, Val should be glad we have a such active community.

What is a problem, is when they got mad at people if they dont liek their art.

It's based on 2025 data :c

and since i'm always spitting on Breach it can be composition from the past :c

As promised Lotus Data and analysis (Only Icebox and Ascent, and I would have done the 12 maps in 2025)

https://youtube.com/shorts/wUmvTW5RhTw?feature=share

tldw ;

• You need 2 controller
• Omen and Viper or Clvoe
• Raze is 67% Winrate as a duelist, pick her
• Fade is also the correct choice
• For the last pick it's open, Flasher, Duelist or Sentinel, probably KJ, Chamber or Yoru

He need a complete rework, you cant be initiator if you dont have active vision. Either he should peak on his own flash making him a duel, or he should have reveal

I think thats because people overestimate smokes, it's not that good

Since the meta has shifted in favor of Neon, I can agree with that

Waylay is definitely the outlier, I didn't speak a lot about her cause lack of data, but she could definitely "nyomp" a spot as a solo or duo duel.

I'm not that far to do all the map analysis, since fracture is back I made the analysis (Lotus next in a few day)

https://youtube.com/shorts/23xwrmdq9

tldw :

• Fade or Sova
• Cypher and Vyze where meta but with the nerf KJ and Chamber are better
• Neon or Raze
• Brim is an obligation
• Breach was meta but not sure it's the correct option, you can try to replace it by a duelist or a controller

What are you doing right now T.T

Thats a nice argument

(I'm glad I have my first hater ! I do feel famous ! Can you rename into number1MeghannyahHater ?)

Worst agent event. Usefull only if you get PL. It's both bad (0% PR in proplay), and toxic for soloQ making the smurf you DuoQ with even stronger. What was they thinking ?

What if they 0-2

The Ultimate roster ?

War, the loss of RU market by Riot, no Spanish and French player because of imports, all of our team almost turning into a "Only english speaking roster", is NA and SA continue to blend they will follow letting APAC dominating.

Look at the stat, all sentinel are in positive in soloQ beside Veto while every controller are in negative. Balance are also made for soloQ

Again, sentinels are impossible to balance for proplay, either they will destroy soloQ, or they will be useless in proplay, no in between, Reyna treatment, either they are a way to avoid the trap and proplay will manage to dodge the trap making sentinels useless, or they are no way to dodge a Sentinel trap and then it's simply OP

I did that in the past, but I should have focus more on trap thing https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1z2R8AKy5VE

What are you talking about ?
In soloQ :
KJ is 51%WR
Vyze is 50% WR
Cypher is 50% WR
DL is 50% WR
Chamber is 50% WR

While every single smoker in the game is under 50% WR beside Clove.

Can we stop wanting change everytime ?

"Derived" "Evolved", yeah, North American are the jonly one to play that
Canada doesnt count, Bahamas doesn't count, Saint Pierre et Miquelon doesnt count, it's NA

Rugby, Football, Cycling, any sport they didnt invent :X

New Name sounds girlish as fuck.

Should I consider her as a sister now ?

You coming from the future ?

You are right upper bracket should play first so team from winner bracket have more time toi prep (it make no sens to give more time to prep for the lower)

Okay this is starting tobe concenring

It's also that first seed played 4 games while the other have already 10 games. It's less true for 2024 and 2025, so I still think it's a question of : When you played 3 games, you already know the scene and it's an advantage

What was the draw order ?

Why I do feel like i'm a succubus invoked by a ritual ?...

We need a statistical analysis on that, evidence... proof... But first, when we talk about first seed curse we only talk about 12 team masters, because if they are a curse for 1st seed it's pronbably only because a team that just start a tournament is just cold while the seed 2 and 3, have already 2 wins and are ready to win. They are no reason we have a first seed curse in a 16 team or a 8 team tournament.

Lets see tournament per tournament the result of 1str seed :

• 2025 : 0-4
• 2024 : 1-3
• 2023 : 3-1
• 2022 : 2-2
• 2022 : 2-2
  2022-2023 ERA was pretty normal, slightly above 50% is what we should have. But damn... 2024-2025 this is... I do think this year is the turning point. If seed 1
• 3-1 : 2024/2025 was unlucky
• 2-2 : It's probably okay
• 1-3 : Well, the trend continues and it's conclusive.

What did change between 2023 and 2024 ? In 2023 and before, a team arrive at an international event after playing a full split, in 2024 and beyond, most seed 1 qualify to this event after playing like 4 series, thats not enough game to be ready to play a final 8 against a team that already played 2 or 3 games in this exact tournament, had time to test themself against weakest team, but already have like 10 series to be prepare and improve.

Thats another reason why I dont really like the format, I dont think we are helping seed 1 by giving 3 round of bye.
