The Schrödinger take ^-^

"no politics/religion" is the worst rule you can ever made on a Valorant forum, and many point are heavily tied between politics and videogames

To play in bigger arena ? Not fully sure, it depend of a lot of factors, thats why I'm in the "maybe" but i'm listening to what you could give as an argument

Leo Faria is the best person anyone had at the head of an esport ever. He have amazing out the box idea (Only hybrid esport league allowing franchise for stability and ascension for merit) and he is listening to community without being unrealistic about some things fan want, he does mistakes but everyone does (Starting with crossgroup before intragroup)

1/ This isn't fixing, this is destroying it
2/ Go to 14/16 team and have 2 ascended more team
3/ Maybe
4/ Maybe
5/ I agree

2/ But I'm caring about tier 3 ._.

1/ This not how internet cable works, https://wondernetwork.com/pings/Sao%20Paulo you will have a better ping in Miami than in Mexico (or even in Columbia)
2/ Restructure MENA+SA+CA and making them one region could be only a T1 region with how many people you put in there

Same than from LAN/LAS, you make a NA-West Premier, and an NA-East premier (like we have last year), everyone is allowed to play everywhere, but west got the standard server based in Califoronia server , and east got the standard server based in WashintonDC server. Sure team can still negociate to change the server, but if no agreement are found this are the 2 server people play on, that would dramatically reduce the ping in the most populated place in America, and de-facto split the playerpool in two. My only concenr is that west will have less people than East, and thats one of the reason I would like to have a 3rd splitted league with Southern being here, that correspond to a well know geographical region

More hype but less likely to happen

I'm confident in the 10 or 20 years mysoginy in video game will be reduce, because more time pass, more women play video games

kenya come

what is your ping on different server

Thats what I thought at first, considering it may be unfair, and just a way to put women in their island where they could never challenge men.

But more I think about it, more I think, GC could be in fact a good idea, because women face many barriers, from team not wanting mixed team because they are afraid they are some heart/love problem, hate in soloQ, and some study showing they put themself some mental barrier because an hostile environment, seing that everyear the gap between male and female are slowly closing, and Female are more and more close from T2, I started thinking it could indeed be beneficial.

You see, usually everyone want a meritocracy, so helping a group of people that are lesser good can be see as cheating, but indeed, merit dooesnt exist. If every team that win world since S3 have a Korean mid it's not because they deserve it in their gene, it's because they had the luck to be born in an environment that give them a chance to be the best, so if we want to stop unfair advatage we need to help weaker environnement to become stronger, and the only way to do that, is to give them more chance, more visibility, etc.

For exemple giving same amount of slot to a weak region than a strong region can be seen as an unfair advantage, but what we always forget is that the strong region have already many unfair advantages, being strong inspire more people of this region, so the pool is bigger, they already won world so they can be more confident, and thats how a region can snowball other region for eternity. When you run a tournament, a snowball that stay for years is the worst thing that can happen for everyone, for the weak region, no chance to ever win, for the viewer, no hype in champion, for the guy that own the game, less money because people are less entertained, and for the strong region... That just make the even boring and sometime even less hype than their domestic league.

It's the same for woman, they are already so many barrier to let them be strong, so helping them isnt an unfair advantage, it's a way to erase some part of unfair advantage and help to close the gap. If it wouldnt work I would agree with you, but G2G, BRGC, SR, all of them where closer than ever to qualify to Tier 2. Maybe 2025 will be the year it happen, thanks to GC (BRGC doesnt count)

Oh, a point I forgot to mention about NA, is that, technically, it can be like in LATAM and in MENA, it's a splitted league with 16 team each, and a player have from Chile isnt counted as an import if he plays in Mexico (That what RETA did), this could be an interesting compromise

I think the object of this disagreement is how we mesure a comeback, because, that's true you can comeback a -9 round disadvantage with 12 round, but it's impossible to comeback a -9 round disadvantage in 8 rounds. But if how you mesure a comeback is by using the number of round the bahind team have (That I use), then comebacking a 7-1 is easier than comebacking a 11-1

Wasnt M80 ?

Hey this was the subject of one of my vid !

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

Basically : Better than classical composition, worst than doble duelist composition

They will have their chance next split since they are qualified to GCC

Impossible to do because the number of team in asention will not be know before the end of SPlit 2 PO

• 3 is unrealistic, but that important to do, if we dont… Well people gonna continue soing their mental health worsen, instead of having an amazing human adventure.
• 4 Definitly, I was a TO and I never use it, they are so many better option, like mapdiff and roundiff
• 5 My point wasn’t « India is in the same situation than China » My point was more « It’s impossible to guess how many time that will take, everyone understimated China, so maybe for India 5 years will not be overestimated » we can nver know . I agree India struggle will be muuuuuch more harder than China, but what we need is GE taking for few years, better on long termeand thats really give them a chance in 10 years.
• 6 If they are only 2 T2 region it’s not a problem, if ytou have 5 USA, you will at leave have one 3 player in same T2 region. I dont know if splitting the playerbase in T2 is sush a problem, Europe is also splitted in 5 despite having no national team, and its not that a problem, sure we cant make every team possible, but that gives more diversity, a sense of belonging and that respect ping people have, it's kinda doble edged sword
• 10 : Technically lesser the round they are, the more the comeback is realistic, but yeah people are used to, but that would sole many issue, it would also please Faria that would want reduce the broadcast tiem.

Many plotwist in the BO5, then 1 week later it was announced BME would be part of T1, this iis excavation, no news

What was this excavation XD

MSF-SKT

And thats the main reason why Val clear LoL

I'm follow league since S5, I never touched an FPS before Val (if you except Paladin), if I would have a bia, it would be in favor on LoL, and... No Valorant is FAAAAAAAAAR more enjoyable to watch than LoL and the gap is not even close :

• Variety of competitive region (anyone can win)
• More hype format
• More comeback (In Val comback arent alawyas throw because of halftime, in LoL it's the case)

Fair point, i'm curous to see what would he suggest to do

To be fair, ever since I start Val I always play outside the postplant, on everymap, planting on the most open place ever, putting myself in one of the 3 or 5 line that can avoid the defuse, hide, and wait, someone click, I check without doing no sound, they usually dont stick first time, and I go back to where I hide, until it's not a fake.

80% of my kill are somone showing me their back or defusing, I know people play tactical shooting to shoot, but some of use play tactical shouting for the tactical part.

I mean, what would be intresting is Tenz Argument

Why does he think that ?

definitly, and I still thinking she might be weak on proplay

Doesnt that mean my name is "no one" ?

Lakia ruining another roster

I can see mommy issues when I saw them

Yup thats the problem with Neon, they uped so mush her soloQ strenght, than even if she was mecanically nerfed in proplay, the soloQ up was so strong that now Neon is viable in proplay

Welcome to the neko army my friend

competitive, Neon is clearly a soloQ agent since they reduce her teamplay power (stun) and up her killing potential

Depend of the map, I'm preparing a video on Haven, and Neon have bad result while Jett is Mid

On other map Neon have a really good winrate

• 1, Sage
  definitions by riot
  ctrl : cutting enemy vision (yes), taking control of an area (yes), and forcing enemies into choke points (yes).
  sent : providing intel (no), anchoring down sites (no), and preventing the enemy from flanking (no)
  She was never used as a Sentinel by any teams, and was replacing a flasher, the same way doble controller replace usually a flasher (exclusion of Bind).
  "delays a push like a typical senti" Controller are also really good at delaying push
  She is truly impossible to class, but she if we have to, then she should be a ctrl because thats how the definition works, and how the
• 3 SoloQ
  "what would happen to people who have a hard time finding ppl to queue with", Riot (or people), could create tools to help player to find, if nobody want to play with you, then maybe you are the problem (Today nobody would be able to find a team because nobody searsh team because soloQ is the one that is value by community)
  "sometimes people want to play alone and play with new people" they are allowed to in normal game, if they dont want to play in condition to play a game competitive (and in a collective game it's with teamate you trained with), they dont play competitive game
• 4 HtH
  Taking the looser of HtH instead of the winner (Yeah sounds absurd but point of round robin is to value every game the same reverse HTH value a game between 2 teams 1.5 point instead of 1 pt, while HtH value a game 2.5 wish is too mush, but lets be honnest both are bad)
• 5 GE
  Maybe more, but we never know, I'm pretty sure if you ask people 1 years ago people would have say it will take 5 year to China to be significant
• 6 Splitting NA
  NA-West, NA-East is the main solution, then you can either add Canada and/or southern USA wish is a cultural clearely defined Area, this solution would reduce ping issues and give more identity to team in T2
• 7 T3
  T3 isn't professionnal technically that wont coast money and give time to play in a competitive environment to more teams, in NA it's doable, it's a federal state afterall, and they are some clearly defined region. In France we have a T3 system and people like it, (But I admit it's not league), I admit the T3 system could be a little bit different for large country.
• 8 Colors
  Neko loves colors with a red laser
• 9 META
  Yeah, thats just my autistic side that hate shift in meaning when it's an acronym
• 10 OT
  More diversity, we could see other weapon, other gameplan, maybe it could reduce the number of OT
• 11 Nekos
  myon

Exactly

Most of catboy are femboys

I'm bad at this game, 80% of my kills are on someone either showing me their back, or defusing the spike

• Sage is a controller (She fit almost perfectly to the description riot give)
• Worst patch ever of Val was 5.07 (Flasher update, making soloQ flasher even more soloQ, and proplay flasher even more proplay), this patch solely prove that Riot don't understand the main problem of balance of the game
• SoloQ should be ABSLUTELY DELETED (For metal sanity reason, and for competitive reason), and the only ELO you could be able to win, is the ELO of your team (Equivalent of Ranked team in LoL in 2015)
• Head to head is the worst horrible tiebreaker ever invented (Reverse head to head is bad, but least worst then head to hand) and it's not that hard to prove mathematically
• The only chance GE have to do one day a top grand final of any event is to go full Indian (but it will at least take 5 years)
• NA Tier 2 should be splited in 3 or maybe 2
• Every T2 region should have a T3 system like in polaris
• Valorant should give color team (Red and cyan is confusing, especially when you are in atk POV)
• Meta mean "Most Efficient Tactics Avaliable", no "Most Used Tactic", stop saying META about something that have 80% Pick Rate and 40% NMWR
• We should reduce to 8 round per half
• Number of gold in OT shouldn't be the same at round 25/26 and at round 27/28 for more diversity
• Nekos will conquer valorant

They are smurfing with a friend in normal game I think

Nyaaaah ! I'm jsut putting me in your shoes, and in your shoes I picture myself as iron

Nothing, just an army of nekos to take over valorant world, I have good talk with Macey the MY caster, he can be a good asset to my army

I dont know your rank, I just compare to what I suspect in my case T.T

Nyan son,

Then you try to guess their rank "Ha, judging by your skill, I'll say slightly above us, so probably Bronse, or maybe low silver"

In normal game

Cat likes trains also, the click click click of the weel are just a lullaby to our ears

Ask them their rank, they will answer something like : "Silver", say something like "That high ? I think you were ahead of us, but only Bronze !", then softtaunt them every time you can, you just kill them "HA ! I killed a silver, do you think I could deserve bronze in fact ?", and just try to tilt them, you wont win if they keep their mind sane, if the smurf loose his mind you have a small chance.

Thats how I win my last normal game yesturday,
(I have all the logs if someone is interested)
