Not true, a meta where other agent are as good as Jett + Raze isn't overwatch... It's current Val since S1 and it's totally fine. More time pass and more agent are underwhelming to play, if at least it will make more fun to play against, but it's not. I rather play against a Raze or a Jett than an Iso or a Yoru that even if they are weak, are really frustrating to play agaist
Only in proplay, don't worry you will still have 3 duelist per game in your soloQ... They will be even more useless !
Thats... Didn't age well... Too bad it really make sense
She is OP comparing to other duelist, she is okay compared to initiator and smoker.
The problem is not Raze being OP, the problem is every other duelist beside Jett being dogshit.
No, that will just make see more game without duelists :/
Yes I know, because China didn't play enough competitive games they are a little bit overrated, You can get easy points by betting on FPX I think (If FPX does good, that will probably be a good point for the bot, and it's even worst for EG that are still ranked at top of NA because the inertia of last year)
I think with more time this problem will be solved. My bet will be FPX loosing to FUT, then being favorite in lower round and still loosing again, so probably free 500 point here...
Hello guys,
I've been creating an algorithm that give every Tier 1 team an "ELO", based on that ELO I can calculate the chance of every team to win, and then betting odd. The algorithm still need few adjustments to be efficient and probably have a lot of flaws, and the best way to find them is to test it ! And the best way to test it is to make it compete against humain and see if it get destroyed or not.
So I want to organize a little contest (With no money involved of course, i'm not a betting site that will try to take your money), before every match, I will give the odd for every game and you can bet in commentary. All of you receive 1000 point, you can bet 100 point maximum on each game.
So here are the odd for day 1 :
Day one Odd in [], chace of win in ()
(If that interest people I can give the precise methodology I used for this algo)
I find it kinda normal that Zainichi plays on JP and not being considered as an import, but that kinda the sole exception
So basically closing NA South ?
Also how does the group system works ? Since group A is basically upper group and group B is basically lower group shouldn't be the top 3 of last split ? (But 2 of the top 3 are in the group B)
Thanks !
So basically the plan is to take LAN scrim and LAS talent ? That's kinda smart but kinda sounds like a system abuse. It would be terrible is in long term if LAS good structure go to LAN, and making no way for LAN player to find a team...
It's the 2 historic team of LAN right ?
Reta is still favorite for the competition ?
PS : Wait a minutes... How could Reta play in LAS if they are from LAS ??
I heard that TW/HK player can choose if they have CN residency or TW, basically DRG is more a TW than CN. The fact TW is empty of all their good player, make me think the region should disappear and just fuse with Phillipinos (Since they already share the server) for the remaining player that really don't want to play in China... They already fuse with Mongolia, but it can be weird in long term if Mongolia ending dominating the region...
To be fair, I think T2 region in Asean should be redrawn not only for TW, but also for every other region. Take actual PRX for exemple : they couldn't compete in any T2 region because of residency, separating Indonesia, and MYSG is a bad thing, it make it harder to form a team and divide the pool of player even if the 3 country speak Malay (With differences, but it's still Malay). If at least they where enough big org to carry the 2 region but it's not the case, they are something like 4 or 2 real organization in both league, that make 2 league where team with org almost play against other team without org, and if they where fusing they would have an almost full league with orgs.
I also think Mainland Southeast Asia is a huge mess, we have no idea where Laos, Myanmar and Cambodian's team can play, also Vietnam is a little bit too weak and would gain competing more often against TH team, so a fusion could be a good thing (Especially with the population of TH starting to decrease), just open a server in Bangkok and you have a T2 redraw that match the actual position of servers. (Making the organization of T3 easier)
"GG clothe" Because it's "fun" And that I usually play naked
I'm really hyped for Ascention this year.
I think M80 stays the favorite in NA but i'm not 100% convinced they will win.
Apeks is also a huge favorite, but it's hard to judge a good team in a kinda weak region, and we can't really now what region like France, Spain or Dash can produce this year.
If I have to bet on one team I would bet on Full Sense, they have 2 really experienced ex-TLN player seeking for revenge, 2 players that make threw champions in S1, and one really young talented player that was top2 fragger while playing smokes while being in a bad team. Together they really rollstomp Thailand (Only 4 map loose while winning 21) wish is historically one of the best region of APAC. (I think it's the only APAC region that managed to send 2 team in an international event beside S1M3 where JP and KR have 2 spot guarantees, and TH managed to qual almost every international event before the franchised era), KR have already all their talent in T1, and only JP seem the real contender here, I don't think they are any experienced Japanese team that used to play with a big crowd, while ex TLN/FS may have a little bit more experience of pressure.
We need info about China T2
I hope next year a tournament will hold after split 1, the winner would be guarantied to play ascension in split 2, so we can drop championship point, and qualify only the top 1 of every region in split 2 (Winner of split 1), and see a little bit more of exciting T2 crossregion Valorant. It's a shame in some region split 1 doesn't matter, and in some region you can win split 2 and still not qualify even if you didn't lose a single map. A system like this would make everything easier. Split 1 qualify for pre-ascention, while split 2 qualify for ascension.
I also hope ascension hold after September/Octeber's split, so the most important split of T2 region will be during the pause of T1 tournament instead of during the most important part of T1 event.
That would be the equivalent of C3 if Riot send the team that end 5~8
Aren't they a part of Middle East ?
It's EMEA not Europa right ?
That's the reverse scenario of last year :
This year seems it's :
Hold on, is that why Leo gives us 5 mouth of offseason ?
Probably what may be happened in the future if China's population continue on the declining trend, Asean team will get more slot, and East Asia region will be created with Japan and Korea
For the moment India level is sadfully too low, and I think you don't have enough players.
If the hype around Valorant grow like in China, I think in maybe like... 10 years, your market will be enough big to have a full "continental" league, like Americas, Europe, Pacific and China, but that will depend a lot of you.
note : 1.0G = 1 000 000 000 people
Today we have :
To me they are 3 market that Riot can consider for a future "continental" league, and that can become a full T1 league if riot succeed to conquer this market, and the country that form this market is enough developped :
Subsaharia is way too early to think about that, the continent isn't well enough developped, but India and MENA have almost achieved their demographical transition, and level of life is way better than in the past, but let's be honest, Valorant isn't enough popular in those places yet, they are probably not enough player, and so not enough level, so it's too early to add some teams, (And I'm not that sure GE make more view than PRX or any JP team), India can be happy, they have GE, MENA doesn't have any team for exemple.
I still hope in 10 years India will be more developped, more people will play val (Valorant mobile may be a way to bring Indian market on the main game) maybe even a new server in Kolkata, Dehli and one in Dravidian region, have their own T1 continent, and some team representing the diverse part and language of this big country. (Give me Dravidian Esport vs Bengal United, and GE vs Pondicherry Revolution), Let's be honnest India isn't a part of Pacific, they are just here because they are no other places to put them, and Riot want to test India audience with GE, if they succeed I don't see Riot dump any team, the repartition of slot in the region is almost perfect (Thus I would want OCE have one slot), having a Pacific region with 2 or 3 team of Inidia wouldn't really make any sense. If GE suceed doing something great, I really want India got their own region, but before that they will at least need to win one ascension tournament, or have a mush bigger fanbase supporting GE.
I think Valorant dev team are the only balance team in the world that would make a nerf on a agent, even player that don't play the agent would hate T.T
I really like Fracture, I would love it to come back, but to be fair, Pearl didn't stay long in the mapool, it's probably the map that gonna get back, if Riot favor the favorite map instead of the most recent one, it will be Haven. As sad as I think, I don't think Fracture will come back next mouth.
I would really want to know if Fracture will be played without a vision if the map come back, because this kinda disappear recently.
I don't think Clove will be balanced, but maybe mapool chage will favor Clove if they rotate out some wide maps
More map arent popular, sooner they rotate out, Ascent is still here Haven was last to rotate out, Icebox and breeze get rotate out really early compared to their release date, Pearl was flawed and get rotate out early.
How so ? Clove potentiallly... But Iso ?!
Hmmm it may be because of the mapool but right now he is kinda the best vision of the agent to me :/
Can't wait to see that new map
But the map wasn't as popular as lotus
How Lotus could go out so soon ? It's one of the most popular map, and one of the 2 last that was release. I don't get how with the lore update you arrive at this conclusion.
I'm kinda agreed for Ascent and Breeze, to me they seem like the 2 front-runners.
The only way to be sure if he his performing poorly is part of because of is environment or because himself, Potter would at least make us know the truth about him.
He would probably not be that expansive, so it's affordable for EG, it may be a win-win situation.
If the problem is only money I think they can find some solution :
After T2 Split, it should have a mini tournament with every team that won a T2 Split 1, the winner (And potentially the 2nd) would be directly qualified to the real Ascension tournament.
(And only winner of Split 2 should qualify in ascention, I really hate point system, it's weird to win split 2 in some region and still not qualify, some region found a good compromise by doing a mini-toornament with the top 4 point team, but it deflates Split 2 stakes :/)
Hard nerfing Viper 1 mouth before making out her two best map would be absolutely wild, makes no sense at all, but it's not impossible XD
Why do you think they didn't ? They have also another tournament to prepare :/
Maybe, maybe not, my point here isnt "The best team didn't qualified", but more "This team deserved to participate to promotion"
That the problem of having 7 bracket in NAE, a busy team like SR didn't have time to farm the point and are not qualified even if they won bracket.
Every team that win a bracket in contenders should have been qualified to promo. I really hope Invite tier will solve that problem.

• New Map
• New Map Rotation
• Duelists Changes
• June 9
5 week waiting will be long but finally some new map, thanks Riot.
Now they are many question we need an answer :
Vlr nation, what is your though on those questions ?
What ? No why ? I'm more on Astra and Jett this act
I think if Viper got killed, we will go back to the double initiator meta we had for almost 3 years :/
What if your duelist don't entry on your smokes ?
I'm not sure losing the versatility in your duo, is worth the marginal gain picking double controller instead of something else. (Especially if you have to sacrifice your info initiator)
I'm sad they are no ares in it, maybe that because of unluck but everytime a good battlepass is release ares seem to not be a part of it :/
But except that it's an ok battlepass (Sometime I think the best battlepass where the first one, with Tronlike skins)
She is OP on 2 maps out of the 10 maps (Because those maps are bad and need a rework, Viper is a symptom of this), and unplayable on every other because she need another controller to be usefull, and you won't have 2 controllers in your ranked game. (If you have 1 controller, it's already a miracle)
Thats everytime the problem with agent's balance team. They don't target the rank where they need a nerf. They balance for the proplay by doing nerf that will affect soloQ but may not affect proplay, I can't believe how dumb this is.
The worst example of that was then infamous 5.07 patchnote. We were in a situation where initiator flasher were unplayable in soloQ, and strong as fuck in proplay, while it was the contrary for duelflash... And what they did ? They gave "More identity" to agent by nerfing the possibility for an initiator to pick on their own flash making them even more impossible to play in soloQ, while they up duelflash making them event stronger in soloQ...
The solution would have been "Make every flash equal" or "nerfing initiator in pro only, and uping duelist in pro only" so no flasher is unplayable in ranked or in proplay and vice versa, but they made the oposite.
"IT BASICALLY KILLS VIPER AS A SOLO CONTROLLER ON MOST MAPS, while not really affecting her ability to work as a secondary controller"
If that is true that mean even more double controller on the game. But the change has been made to nerf double controller. Pretty ironic.
That remind me when Raze nerf as almost killed Neon on Fracture
The funniest thing would be to do the opposite 2023 run :
It should have change.
Mapool was changing every 4 mounth, and on the worst mapool ever... nope : It's 6 month.
The next rotation will probably be in 2 months, it may or may not be available for next champions.
Reveal content 1 mouth before it release ? Riot never do that... we are lucky if they make announce 2 week before. But that not unpossible, especially if they release the map midact (And make the 2 weeks of the soloNewMapQueue during the 2 last week of act instead of during the 2 first week of a new act)
Maybe thats the reason they are a teaser for a new map in this battlepass, they want to release the map midact, but I start having some doubt :/
It's been 8 mouth, but it won't be release tomorrow, it will be release in 2 months
This impression is because it get release riiiight after Shanghai and we had 5 mouth with nothing, so it's recent.
