After the org won champs last year, during contract negotiations they basically demanded the entire team take upwards of a 50% payout or be stuck in contract jail. The players rightfully refused and got stuck in contract jail for a bit. From 2019 to 2023 EG’s ceo basically did everything she could to kill the org(tried to run it like a normal business which just doesn’t work in esports) so they’ve been perpetually broke since she took over which is why they demanded the players take the pay cut

id hope its just bait but i feel like the org would have announced him being a restricted FA not him

They are but they’re also a collegiate team so they’re packing a bit more experience than the other premier teams who were in the running

y0y

yeah mb, i follow CS but im still used to associating him with Liquid cause of their 2019 run

"who just got kicked out of the team because of its toxic behaviour" where did you find that Liquid kicked him? just curious cause i havent been able to find anything says that

IGL'd Acend to victory at Champions. As for being benched, its cause the team and him had different visions of what the team should do moving forward given their struggles this year.

T1's coach typed to the team and accidentally did it in all chat

5 different ones, main monitor tsm vs soar then my 2nd monitor is split between t1 vs rise akrew vs v1 knights vs guard and xset vs nrg

US
Ascent
Tenz/Asuna/Hiko/Nitro/Ethan/CNed/Scream(more but this would be too long)
OP

damn

was that really their first ever?

one of the cleanest flicks ive seen in a while that I can remember

lvl 115 G1

yeah for me ranked has just been hell since the patch. Most of my teammates have no idea what they're doing while the enemy team are all aim gods. Its honestly kinda killed my motivation to even play the game atm.

Just kinda wondering why we haven't seen an article on NBK's transition to Valorant. Is it because he hasn't joined a team yet or another reason? Just curious.

So happy for Tenz, hes finally on a roster that he's truly happy with

sadly you can only have one flair

I disagree, I dont think V1 "lucked there way through NA". They deserve to be in Iceland. They came out of nowhere and have played amazingly. They are truly a really good roster and they've shown it here.

Congratulations to Fnatic for moving on the lower. Version1 had an amazing run here at Masters and its a shame to see them go home but Fnatic played amazing and came out on top. I will be looking forward to seeing who makes it out of the lower and to the finals.

agreed

They dont suck. V1 has been looking really good and are giving FNC a real run for their money. Also one thing to keep in mind is this is our 1st international LAN. No one could really predict how these teams would fair against each other.

"toxicity is toxicity" sadly true

I mean so far I havent seen anyone on here saying a pro should KYS because they aren't performing or shit-talking CS events. Seen a few threads on HLTV where people have done that

yeah but I just dont understand why everyone has to be so toxic, its the internet and gaming so toxicity is there no matter what but I don't see why we cant just appreciate good games without the winning or losing side being toxic

unfortunately

apparently NA fans were going "whos talking now EU" and stuff similar when Sen beat FNC and V1 beat TL. Thats why I originally made this thread, cause I wasn't on the forums that day so didn't see it and therefor didn't understand who so many people were being toxic towards NA

they made their own threads for that lol

Both teams are good, I see the series going either way

I made this post cause I didnt see NA fans being toxic the other day, so I didn't know about that

.

Well I didnt see any of that, granted as I said I didn't look to hard. But from what others have been saying NA fans were being fairly toxic when it was NA vs EU the other day so I say its fair

I see, as I said, i didnt see any of that and also didn't look too, so I guess if NA people were doing that it makes more sense that people are doing it back. Personally, I do tend to root for NA teams(minus V1 vs Liquid I was rooting for Liquid) but I don't really care who wins. Im just here to watch good Valorant

agreed

V1 vs NUTURN just ended and so many threads of people saying "why you not talking now NA???" and stuff like that? It was a VERY close series, anyone could have taken it. Do us NA fans tend to have a big mouth? Yes, we do at least imo. But you don't see NA players going "why you not talking now insert region here" when NA wins? I haven't, granted haven't looked to hard. It was a good series and both teams played amazingly well can we just appreciate that?

this didnt age well lol
