G2 would have been a far better exemple no ?

Unpopular opinion of the day : Sen is in crisis, FPX OT the finalist of last master, the odd of Sen is so low. Betting on SEN is madness (Which not mean they will lose 100%, but juste mean risking 100 for winning 54, in a game where FPX seems favorite is a bad choice)

Aspass, because he is too mush popular and I don't think he is well knows for playing smart

Round 2 resume

• [1,43] GEN - TH [3,31] (GEN 70%)
• [1,54] SEN - FPX [2,85] (SEN 65%)
• [1,53] FNC - DRX [2,88] (FNC 65%)
• [2,47] BLG - KRU [1,68] (KRU 60%)
• [1,40] LEV - TE [3,47] (LEV 71%)
• [3,02] TLN - VIT [1,49] (VIT 67%)
• [2.44] EDG - G2 [1.70] (G2 59%)
• [3.20] FUT - PRX [1.45] (PRX 69%)

PRX was aimgameplay, I admit FPX is the most aggro gameplay

I don't think team that "play aggro" play strat, the team that play aggro usually jsut rely on firepower, i'm not talking about a subPRXlike, i'm talking about a team that is seen that they have a precise gameplan, maybe like Deadlock by Trace

Lets be honest, how you want a 12 team of SA, Brazil struggles to have 3 competitive team and is oversatured, and may even need to be downsided at the level of TR, LAS is ok but you can't add one more, okay thats true you can add 1 or 2 LAN team (Mexico and 6 Bolivarian country), but 7 team is really the max of the max SA can have.

Same for NA, LoL that is a bigger game, can't even have 10 viable team (I'm not even talking about competitive, I'm talking about viable), they gonna be reduced to 7 team next year.

14 may be is the maximum America can have, my personal wet dream is to go to 16 team for every region, with 6 ascended team, with stage 1 team divided in 8 team in south playing in Sao Paulo, and north group still played in LA (If they are 9 team, the partner team that finish last will have to play in south next year, giving stakes to bottom ranking)

I hope so, maybe the problem isnt they play strat, maybe the problem is the strat they play, maybe you'll like som aggressive strat the day a team that focus on strat will find something fun and aggro

Strategic is the most interesting team, firepower is just boring, it just do show proplayer have brain, strategic is the futur of Valorant and team that will not adapt will dit in long terme

Ah, thanks for the precision, it remain a possibility

Add on : another market that could add 1 more team in Amer is... Oceania, since they dont have representation in APAC and doesn't count as an import on NA LoL, giving them one spot in Amer can work... BUt would be bad for viewer time

I hope it will remain stable, best I can hope is -EG +G2, and one of BR team out, MEX or COL team in

They fuse with Movistar, I tink if you offer them a T1 spot, they'll come gladly

Movistar R7 ? They would perfectly represent Mexico, maybe Infinity could be okay (Thats 2 teams that did good on LoL)

Juicy odd make heads turn, that how betting site get you

Combined ? Can be an option, when I talk about middle east I usually include Turkey too, I really hope Africa got their T2 region next year to see how developped is it

I agree, NA is stronger with South Asia

...

Wait thats not the point ?

...

Oh... Alright, joke aside I agree, if we look at LoL that is bigger than Val NA cant have 10 teams (so 12 it's dead) you have 6 or 7 and thats enough, and if we look at Brasil... It's even worst they have 3 teams that struggle, they have too many team in T1 and 2 teams might be enough. the only Amer region that deserve more spot is LAN, they have no representation since Lev and KRU are both LAS, LAN is in population bigger than LAS, and having a Bolivarian countries team and a Mexican team would bring more representation, more hype into LAN country

hehe, you were attired by attracted high odds :3

It will depend of your last 2 pick up, if you find 2 player matching the average of CN team, Swerl is really carry this team almost all alone, and Automn is impressive, BLG level isnt that high

Lets punish everyone equally and give them all 3 spot (And create another 5th region that take also 3 spot, it can be either South Asia, Middle east or Africa, I let you pick !)

Round 2

• [2.44] EDG - G2 [1.70] (G2 59%)
• [3.20] FUT - PRX [1.45] (PRX 69%)

I think it have 33% of chance that on first round a region play 4 time the same other team because of how they make the group, i'm not 100 sure BTW, it might be 11%

Autumn and Swerl are 2 really really good player in China, they can definitly make a top 4 in CN

My bot say G2 51%, PRX 49%
https://www.vlr.gg/379066/bet-on-odd-final-s04

You have 3 player that play in China already, you definitely can have a team of 5 Aussie that is competitive in CN T1 :
Sentinel : autumn
Scrambler/initiator : Pl1xx
Deulist : Swerl

APAC is stack, and if we want an OCE team in APAC we will need to wait GE is out because South Asia now got a T1 league, not gonna happen before a while, meaning while for no season they are 3 AUS player in CN lel

Would be my dreamjob to be honest :c

1 = 12 teams ?

Here a chocolatine for you

Here is a baguette for you

"Pain" mentioned ! Have some bread, all !

APAC is fun because it rely on nation rivalries, CN doesnt have it and maybe that a little bit too bad.

My only concern about China is I would have like a little bit more in the different team playing, having 10 CN team may be not good (I count only 10 because DRG was historically TW and WOL have a majority of TW-HK), I would like to have 1 branded HK team, 1 or 2 branded TW team, maybe even add a Mongolian team (Since they are closer to China and maybe it could be possible to find a way to let them play on China and reduce the ping), in some wet dream I would even like to have an OCE or an RU that have no representation team, but thats not realist.

Even among the remaining CN team, it could have a way to differentiate them geographically a little, China got 4 server, and this 4 server are located near the 4 biggest population basin in the 4 cardinal point :

• South server in Guangzhou : Pearl delta agglomeration
• West server in Chongqing : Sichuan basin
• East server in Nanjing : Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration (Shanghai)
• North server in Tianjin : Beijin-Tianjin supra-agglomeration
  Assign 1 team to each server that will have to help to detect new talents in each server, and in long term you can grow a good rivalries between thoose 4 teams. You can even rely on LoL team that got their own stadium if you want to push thing further, but that's not necessary.

I hope he retires if he don't want kid

Round 2

• [1,40] LEV - TE [3,47] (LEV 71%)
• [3,02] TLN - VIT [1,49] (VIT 67%)

Sherrif on pistol is really hinting, without even taking in account price, ghost seems a better choice (But if you take in acc you can spend 300 gold on spell it's even more worth)

Stop talking about DRX...
