Yeah thats the problem SEA is stacked while Japan isnt really :/

I still hope SEA will split in 2, but I suppose it will not gonna hpn

Duck liver mousse with bread.

Not really a good example, they get also stomped by KRU Blaze
https://www.vlr.gg/381311

I agree GC are for from top of T2, but they are now really close from bottom T2.
Kru Blaze vs ZEN esport could be a win for KRU

They can make it start earlier in 2026, they are really intresting format to do with 24 or 32 teams

I have sadfully no idea how to do that, and youtube doesnt do their job >.>

Thats a good question but I think they are 2 main reason :

• historic reason : historically worlds was the only international event of the year, we waited 5 years before the first MSI
• format : For long, the MSI have a specific format, only the top 1 of the 5 mains region where qual, (Plus winner of small regions), it was a single round robin. Having only 6 team make the event mush less important

In Valorant, historically master have almost same format and mush more team than in Champions.

How to make Champions count mush more than masters is a really interesting question and doesn't have mush answer, beside making only a master with 4 team (Or 8 teams, but dividing every region into 2 subregion and qual one team per subregion SA-NA, EU-CISTR, SEA-EA, CN-TW) that would make everyone cries, so maybe the solution is by changing champions format and make it really epic, mush longer, a fucking marathon

Hmhmmm, yeah I'm hesitating faking a bad fake english accent that may be even harder to understand

Long time ago, because it was made by IA, and it's important to gatekeep everyone that want to do art.

Whatlock in mean in that context ?

Do you find some difficulties to understand sometime or thats ok ?

Thanks ^-^
I try to do my best

Cause Indo cant trust themself ? They are the best and bigger SEA region they should trust in themself more

Harbor is always in a weird spot, to me he sounds a little bit bad, he got full smoike in his kit and not be able to solosmoke is a huge redflag.

I dont see Astra getting replaced, it was her historic map, and swamp comp did die,

We might need to stop think into class.

Every team have at least, on Diver, one Smoker, one Reveal (Thoose 3 role are without a doubt for Astra, Jett, Sova, maybe Gekko and Neon have their chance... but meh), and then it's pretty open for either a Sentinel, a Flasher or a 2nd Controller.
Viper can't be the smoker

Pretty obvious : Jett, Astra, Sova 100% Then probably KJ and Viper/Pheonix

Wrong, ponytail

gl

Awwww so cute

I think beside the 2nd point I check them all

As we say in my country "Cheh"

I feel time is ticking, more time pass and more CIS will stay on CS in the long term

CIS could be soooo strong, historically they probably need 3 team in the top 12

Should I go iron in the next act ?

Hmmm... I see what you mean, the main problem here is that Riot never make a Premier to a region if they are no server, thats why LNA doesnt have a server yet. plus, Premier is kinda pointless if they are no T2 to qualify on :/

They don't, same for CIS, and same for Levant-North Africa

Merging was an obligation, 6 league in SEA wasnt sustainable. I still think it would be better to have 2 or 3 league, depending on how many team you want per league.
If everyone go to 16 team in every region, then 2 region is good, one per server, if its 8, then we should just go do to 3 regions, Malay, MSEA, PH-TW-MN. Region with only 40m people (beside KR), isnt sustainable.

The first thing is that each comp (in the current meta) MUST have 1 of each of these things

• A duelist-diver
• A initator-reveal
• A controller-smoker

Then the 2 last spot are open for the 3 last role a team usually have (You need to pick 2 and drop 1) :

• A sentinel
• A flasher
• A second controller
  Usually you have to drop one of this, but thanks to Vyze you can hall all of 3 and sacrifce nothing, a little bit like at Skye prime where you have a excellent recon and an excellent flasher (Maybe even better, because you can have a dedicated agent to reveal, and have an agent that is split in the 2 minor roles)

If you want some datas about split 2 :

• 0 Diver composition is 3% PR (And have a horrible NMWR 45%)
• 0 Reveal comp is 4% PR (And have a horrible NMWR 44%)
• 0 Controller comp is 0% PR (Literrally)
  Then about the 2 minors spellroles + soloCtrl
• 0 Flash comp : 14% and 55% NMWR
• 0 Sentinel comp : 14% 54% NMWR
  It's hard to calculate the 1 ctrl comp, its gonna be imprecise
• 1 Controller comp : 64% less than 48% NMWR (I does count Sage as a ctrl, but not as a smoker, because she fit the definitions of ctrl and not the sent)

With Vyze you half sacrifce the the 2 worst role, you can fill with an agent that do the job 100% of the 3 main spellroles, then you can take a 2nd controller (Viper, Sage, or maybe even Astra), and then you fill the 2 less efficient roles with an agent that make 50% of the role.

She is not broken but she perfectly the "6 roles needed" meta by half sacrificing the 2 worst roles

Edit : I forgot instead oof writing a lot I should just have link this vid : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrYtWrxIO1Y (I'm not that fluid in this one... I'm better today :c)

Bad algorithm :c

But Dos and Sultan are gud :c

Kazakhstan can't be a T2 all alone, with rest of central Asia, it's hard to know if they are enough to be a separate from CIS, my 2 sent is that the best would be to be a splitted league like MENA and LATAM, but in that optic it would make sense that if eastern Russia have a better ping on Central Asia, then they should be allowed to play in Central Asia

You cant compare active and passive vision, if Yoru break the wall/passiveVision you have no intresting info, they may go on another site and you whole setup are defuse. Breaking active vision give opponent an information usefull to prepare an entry because you get a position that will be usfull in the next 10s

Maybe, but isn't the end of your point if we think few step further ? What is the point of playing a defensive agent if their defending tool are defused ?

With Vyze it's sound kinda hard, but if you say is true, then proteam should stop playing Sentinel, because thats her own utility.

Also, 0sentinel composition got 14% Pick Rate and a Non mIrror Winrate of 54%, so maybe you are right and proplayer should stop play sentinel

She have best firepower in attack, and her trap are as deadly as other sentinel in defense

I think doble sentinel are kinda weak, doble sentinel make you attack really hard to play

It's antistrat, they are no point to pick Yoru today, but if a team pick Vyze everytime on the same map, it's better to just pick Yoru to counter her

They are already a server in south Africa, but western africa don't have a decent ping, we really need a Lagos server ASAP, same for Middle East, Hawais is unrealistic.

I tend to agree for Kazakh, but I've check with a Kazakh friend and it seem their ping is the same in Hong Kong than in Kazakhstan, they even may prefer staying in SEA than joining central Asia

I think the fact her trap can be triggerred by Yoru's clones, turn her from best senintel, to useless sentinel in proplay.

All her kit in defense revolve around setup a deathly trap and Yoru can just antistrat it with one spell making her useless when she should be strong. So a proplay team shouldn't play her because if thats happen their opponent will play Yoru after a couple of game and just antistrat her whole kit with a spell.

Hard counter shouldn't exist in Valorant because they are no draft and no swap

I think they can go to champions

Jett + Pheonix/Yoru + Sova + Killjoy + Astra

Here is why https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJk2T8jK_Qw

Wasnt already the subject of my last video ? :c

Ah... Transition phase are always a problem Look at France 19 century

None, everyone should be loved

Riot doesn't organize SEA no ?i Rot did outsource T2 to tournament organization

And thats what happen when you announce schedule date 1 month in advance. Tournament organization are bad, and maybe T2 should be ruled by Riot and Faria.

Did you guys have saw the thread of Sultanvlr ? https://x.com/sultanvlr/status/1847948099206967543
He was kinda concerned about the Valorant situation in Central Asia and more over in Kazakhstan, so I usual I think for solution and this is the text i've right (obviously that I read because you cant guys I know you.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1wWqL0QKWw

What do you think guys, do you think a Central Asia server and T2 could be viable ?

AHAHAHAHAHHA fun, but true

It's always me T.T

Riot specify clearly it wasnt possible, thats what caused TGRD drama

You can only buy team if they are orgless.

And no big team will ever success doing that, because changing structure mean destabilize a roster
