I know you guys hide among us, here is an opportunity to "predict" the biggest plot twist of the champion so you can let us know without getting fired that you are a part of Valorant Esport Scenario Writers (Also called the VESW)

Trans esport is now my fav team, go trans, gooo !

Does that mean the equivalent of master in LoL is more important than the equivalent of Championship ? Just because master is in doble elim and Champions is simple elim ?

"Whow they loose 11-13 opponent mapick, what a trash team"

While FNC would be the only team in val history to win 2 event the same year 1/1/4 seems same than 2/1/2, how you make the threshold ?

I think they are no doubt that 1/1/3 > 1/2/2 (i don't know how you could argue against that) but are you really that 1/1/4 < 1/2/2, ir is it because it's champs ?

Oh...

Draw something we didn't expect

I'm not sure about GEN odd, it seems really low, sure heretics did choke in playoff, but it didn't have a lot of stakes in it so... I think GEN is favorite, but you have a better expectated point on TH

150 max for G2

Not that mush to be true, the sum of every ELO is 0

This is the full poweranking

Making everyone start at +100 could reduce the number of team in negative number creating a fun threshold without changing anything

Heretics win every game in regular season and did 2nd in last master, FPX was really shaky during stage 2 and unlucky during master, so they couldn't take point during playoffs, I think it's a bia the bot have, and FPX deserve better

Because last master LEV was really bad and G2 was really good, and it cant be wipe by only one BO5

Trace < Vit sounds weird, but the bot is kinda recency biasproof, china is still a weak region and doing 2ng in EMEA against a 3rd CN, cant be wipe in only one BO

FPX did kinda bad during stage 2, it's kinda funny, last master CN was overated, this master FPX is underated

Poweranking by my bot :

• GEN 126
• FNC 102
• G2 97
• LEV 81
• TH 77
• EDG 76
• PRX 76
• DRX 65
• SEN 46
• VIT 31
• FUT 30
• TE 29
• FPX 10
• KRU 7
• TLN -10
• BLG -15

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%
