ok I apologize for accusing you of being something so awful

Arent you British?

Thats one sentence

Zellsis doesnt play initator lmao

You can say something true to attempt to bait people. The point of this post is to bait out arguments and make EMEA fans angry. You also arent from Uzbekistan and your favorite team isnt m3c. Type a 4 sentence statement in Uzbek

This kind of VLR baiting is so boring. Like I agree that EMEA is nowhere near as deep as Americas but like why are you fake flagging to prove it. Everyone knows that Moist Moguls would demolish the 3rd best EMEA Ascension team there is no reason to make a fake account centered around hating EMEA

Best: Ailed
Worst: Trembo

I wasnt saying you were stupid I was just curious, you are way too defensive over this im not your enemy

Why do you spell Sentinel wrong in all of your posts?

Its over if they pick up Penny

FNS and S0m arent playing next year

This team could be top 10 EMEA

xQc joining would actually be terrible for the scene

I got Demon1 in a DM back when he was on SQN, I still have the screenshot somewhere

BoDork said that confusing means there are multiple reports saying different things

Saying Haodong is the worst player in China is simply just insane

Hes in therapy right now. He stopped using social media so its impossible for us to know whats happening other than that

Just pay off government officials so you dont get deported

Probably Sscary. Bro got paid over a million no one else has numbers like that at all

Chet went live on accident for like 8 minutes then deleted the vod

make a new account

He wasnt blocked he just didnt want to because of his legal case against adept

xQc paid them a months worth of salary then promised to buy them. Then he ghosted them. It really doesnt help his case that he did the bare minimum

ask Redwiz he can teach you how to be good

this article says he got dropped what are you talking about

lol what? V1 dont even have a real coach they have a single ex-pro. No assistant coach, no analyst or anything

The goal of these changes was to make the map more defense sided

She does good against tier 3 teams tho? She had like one off game where she didnt even go negative. Just watch her streams her aim is better than anyone I have ever seen. Give her an actual team with an actual coaching staff and she would be tier 1 in a year

I personally dont hate it but people here view them as pretentious and fragile

Its really funny how VLR and the subreddit absolutely hate each other but the one single thing we can both agree on is that Leorge Leddes is awful

Giving it to M80 is a terrible idea. Imagine being the players on The Guard and winning the game and doing everything right just to have the 2nd place team take it from you. Thats so bad

Look what Zellsis said:https://twitter.com/Zellsis/status/1696564789022019993

The winner of the 2023 Most Improved player is C0M. This isn't surprising at all considering how bad he was at the beginning of the year and how amazing he was at the end of the season. C0M had 527 points while D4V41 in second had 355, a massive gap between the 2. C0M had 86 first-place votes while D4V41 had the second most first-place votes with 13.

C0M with 527 points

bbbbbuuummmppppp

bump

Because he was always good, he never really improved he just got put onto a tier 1 team

He will be if enough people put him in the last question. You have to keep in mind I can only put 6 players. Just because a player isnt one of those 6 doesnt mean he wasnt a greatly improved

Thats a good point. There is a place on the survey for players that arent one of those 6

Who do you think is the Most Improved Player of 2023? This survey has 6 players listed and they will be ranked 1-6th to see what the community consensus on which player improved the most. I encourage you vote based on what player you think improved the most and not who you think is the best

This award is gonna be a bit different than how the normal ones will go, I already have the 6 nominees:
C0M
Coming into this year C0M might have been the lowest-rated player in Americas. Basically, no one thought he deserved his spot, and at the beginning, he played into that. He started off the year pretty bad both at LOCK//IN and VCT Americas. But after EG got 13-0d by LOUD EG and C0M especially seriously stepped it up. Many people would consider him the best Sova itw now.

Klaus
Klaus had a really bad start to the year, KRU went 0-9 throughout the regular season and Klaus was the 3rd lowest-rated player in VCT Americas. But when LCQ came around he seriously stepped it up putting himself 7th highest in Americas LCQ

Carpe
Carpe's first-ever Valorant official was at the Ludwig x Tarik Invitational and he played terribly, he looked completely lost when he was playing. So going into LOCK//In and VCT Pacfic everyone's expectations were really low. But he didn't do terribly at LOCK//IN like people were expecting, in fact, some might have even said he was the best on his team. Every game Carpe played he got better and better until he pushed T1, who was rated really lowly coming into the year, to the 3rd best team in Pacific getting them a spot at Champs and Tokyo, at those events he did way better than anyone would have expected coming into this year.

D4V41
This one is pretty self-explanatory, A lot of people rated D4V41 as the worst player on PRX but he had an incredible year. Champions and during the VCT Pacfic playoffs were when he especially shined.

Qw1
If you didn't pay close attention to the Turkish scene coming into this year you likely didn't know who Qw1 was, but he had a surprisingly solid year. Qw1 and FUT both exceeded expectations, no one thought they would be 3rd in EMEA and yet they pulled it off

Fit1nho
Much like Qw1 if you didn't follow the Spanish scene you probably didn't know who Fit1nho was. As the Giants franchise player expectations for him weren't very high, and frankly at the beginning of the year he met those low expectations. He wasn't performing poorly but he certainly wasn't having amazing games. But when LCQ came out Fit1nho seriously upped his game and brought Giants to Champions where he continued to perform at a very high level

You have 24 hours to vote until the results will be posted. Make sure to vote 5 times

Fun fact this is my 1000th post :D

oh my god, this argument is so dumb. Its not about how well the org does its about how safe they are financially. That's what's important in eSports rn. With how unstable the sport organizations, especially like the Guard, could collapse at any moment. There are always gonna be bad teams, its impossible for every team to be good. When a team is bad in the NBA no one wants to relegate them and replace them with a minor league team because thats absurd. Leo knows that the Ascension teams can win Champions or something but that doesnt change anything, its not about skill level its about keeping the sport alive for as long as possible. Plus KRU showed why relegation is stupid, teams can have bad seasons then show up and play well anyway the next event. Another massive problem is representation. This is a problem, especially in Pacific where there is only one team representing each minor region. If Team Secret got relegated there would be 0 Phillpines representation which would be bad for the game and for viewership. It would also seriously hurt the scene in the Phillpines

<3

I know its problematic but having 8 people per award is a bit problematic aswell. Plus finding 2 from China from each one will be different

Ohh I like that one thats very creative

Added oper of the year

Thats a good one, I added it

vouch

I replaced it with most hype player of the year and org of the year

Perfect I love that title

I like hype player so I added that and removed person of the year

Either Wednesday or Tuesday. They will post it on their Twitter soon
