they are doing that in League right now... as i said.
3rd and 4th team are in stage 2 of qquals already. they only play against the 2 winners of the frist stage
Loud died so the brazillians left. Japanese are sad that their teams suck. EMEA hsant had a star team that wins events since 2023 FNC (Heretics have potential here). And most importantly.... Tenz left so Sentinels lost some pull. Also they got squashed in Bangkok.
On the plus side Indo and vietnamese are massively up. You can build some real fanbases here. The french are also massively up. Gm8 must be partnered pretty much with what theyre doing for Valo without even winning shit. Also they should follow Mixwells org. Seems like they have big potential for spanish market. Also they need to pray that KOI finally figures their shit out so spanish people actually bother watching.
Also they could consider roadshows like LEC is doing which has been massively successful. Selling out arenas and building fancultures around the continet. Like do a weeks matches in Madrid. Another week in Paris and so on. It is also a failure that they havent done anything with Germany. They need a german org that is strong with Fans. Obvious answer to me is pushing Fokus.
In america they have to pray MiBr sticks around and builds rivalrys and makes some interesting runs. Brazillians need a team to rally around
my guy. Youre telling ME about european T2?
best player of 2021. Won masters. Revolutionized the game. Champs 2021 finalist 5 maps. 2022 dragged down due to ukraine war. 2023 won vct emea qualled to all internationals.
Today once again Top 5 rated in EMEA as IGL and dropping iconic performances like against Sentinels. Qualling to all internationals with a budget roster.
chronicle was MVP of Champs 2021 and won masters Berlin. Has been a world class player for his entire career.
i cant vote marteen. poll is fraudulent
KOI better pray they get to play apeks in lowers to not go winless
Yes your analysis is correct. EMEA will go 0-47 at Toronto. T7 players. T26 Gameplay. Americas will go 99-0 at the event and win every trophy for the rest of Valorant
Lamb to the slaughter. 2-0
If Vit cant win this its time to disband. I expect a decent performance from GX to be fair
No comeback yet so i say Navi takes it. Mates need a lot more time too. A lot of changes to work through
Kinda like the way you have been sick in the head since birth. Some people have tough fates.
TH bombed Madrid. EG bombed Lockin. KC bombed Madrid. FPX (CN) bombed their first events.
If you take experienced players like Meteor, Munchkin and Lakia together like for GenG you can make it despite having a new core. But they players have been to many internationals. Same for Vitality. But if you rely on a lot of rookies who have never been there its hard.
I used a premade List. BBL wasnt in it. I commented on their placement in the post
check the top of my post again :)
i understand. Its just that PRX play 0 Tejo which is an advantage. The teams ahead of them got set back a bit
regardless. LewN and Profek very young players with very low experience. Sociablee while experienced at T2 level has never been to an international. Also Jampii is a new IGL who will have to get tested at the top level like he has only been in a couple EMEA games. He also has room to grow.
They still need to change over 4 maps in 2 weeks which is not easy at all.
--------->>>>>Order within a tier does not matter!<<<<<----------
RRQ first international event. GenG is far more experienced in that regard and we have seen in the past how important that is. Same goes for MiBr. Only Aspas has international experience.
XLG only redeemable team from china. Rest is digustingly bad.
PRX made it here but only barely. They still have a lot to do to beat teams that arent collapsing in front of them (Boom, T1). Only DRX is a solid win for them. However they benefit from Tejo nerfs. Just like EMEA. Europe however with the least prep time so it kinda balances out to some degree. I would put BBL in C tier probably if they qualified. Lack experience and play the most Tejo out of the EMEA teams.
This event looks like one of the best, most competetive events in Valorant history. Very excited.
They did well vs Liquid thats true. But i cant call it a strong map if they just played it once, lost and have to change an agent.
But youre right. Much more easily fixed than Ascent and a new Sunset comp.
i though my chamber was dead when he got nerfed to the ground but once people get used to the restricted abilities you can make use of it still. Especially in ranked. That will take quite some time however. In the transintional period he will likely be completely dead. And of course his pickrate will never be what it once was unless he gets buffed again.
Doing a poll on 2025 Heretics when we havent even played the second masters is very stupid
This is the best EMEA since 2021 champs in my opinion. (Of course we will not replicate those results. But the statement is true nonetheless.)
You will see at Toronto my friend. Enjoy
G2 and Heretics are the clear favourites in the broader public consensus
They definitely can. Their Split, Lotus and Haven are really good any are not affected by Tejo nerfs. However they need to work on the other map by the time Toronto comes around.
They will probably keep Pearl as a perma ban and work on Sunset, Ascent and Icebox.
Their succes will likely hinge on the speed they can figure out these maps and their oponents veto performances
Kaplan: Do you have a Singaporean passport?
Jie: Yes, and I served my military for 0 years in Singapore.
Kaplan: Your mom is bad af. Your kids don't exist.
Jie: That’s correct.
Im afraid you cooked with this one
i dont Think Apac is bad. Its just EMEA and Americas being really really strong right now. Apac is still miles ahead of China
EMEA and Americas teams even more so
what kinda name is brennon btw. never heard that shitt in my life. is this some celtic stuff or what.
To the people watching these games: Are the teams actually trying? Why are they playing this fucking event
america is evil. i fully agree with that.
But at least theyre not excuting its own citizens for religious reasons or using slave labour.
like why cant the blood money tournament at least be a competently done event. Is there a single positive thing coming out of this ordeal i dont know
eh... from what we have seen in similar situation for teams in the past is just lower quality of games. Games are less sophisticated and more repetetive in their simplicity. The more they have to play the less time they also have to rework their maps if they dont function well.
You just turn this game into CS but with a much less settled meta which means games will always feel like in kickoff.
Whereas most of the times people greatly prefer the games later in the year.
what a fucking mess. Bad last minute communications noone is seeing or knowing of. Bad format. Qualifiers not even broadcasted for 6(/8) out of the 10 teams....
qualifiers squeezed in at a terrible congested time of the schedule....
Terrible all around
They can. But dont deny the obvious decrease in quality those games suffer as a result. Worse for viewers and more taxing for teams. Who wins here?
i understand you picking up something from that but it is unclear what exactly the omission of "and will be broadcasted" means. Will they broadcast some but not all games? How would the split be? 80/20? 50/50? 20/80? Have they just not decided yet whether they will boradcast yet? Will they just stream a clean feed maybe?
Truth is we got no idea. They have not communicated properly.
you still ignore the fact that FNCs best 3 maps are Tejo free which is a massive deal. Heretics is the best team in the world and FNC still should have won the Lotus and there is no team that beats heretics on haven right now on the planet. It is still a strong map for them. "The defence is bad". My guy thats just how the Iso comp is. You stomp on attack and you need to survive on defence.
Also you have just decided to give G2 a complete free pass as if takes 0 work to make their changes. Yes there are comps to pivot to but you can not just "slot in another agent" as easily as youre trying to present it. AT all. Ah, just slot in sova and youre fine, no big deal! Come on... Who doesnt know the massive impact sova has on post plant delay.
If anything i see a chance for FNC. On their weaker maps other teams lose the lead they had with their tejo comps getting nerfed. They have to find new comps. And FNC wasnt good on those anyways so they both have to work on those maps. FNC just doesnt have to work on Split , Haven and Lotus any noteworthy amount on top of that. Which G2 definitely must do.
EMEA having less prep time is a massive disadvantage. However they got lucky that they get much less affected by the big meta shift. So it balances out to some degree. What will end up weighing heavier we will see in Toronto
but why though?
Brother you need a least a week to seriously fix a map most of the time. Even having a month will not fix all of G2s 7 maps. Especially since they would have 0 real proof of the maps working on stage and not only in scrims. How many times have teams thought their map was good just to find out it absolutely sucks on stage.
First of all FNC have 3 strong maps. AS much as youre trying to dispute it thats a fact. Also FNC KNOW their split is really good. They know their Lotus is really strong. They know their Haven is good. They have proof of concept by beating all those teams. And just because you have tape out doesnt mean you can beat map. FNC had played the exact same Lotus all of 2023 and nobody could beat it. G2 have (mostly) been playing exactly the same way on their maps this year but teams couldnt beat them. You just have to do minimal work. Do some anti. Maybe change a couple of really minor things to keep it fresh and that it. You can do that in a day.
Yes, EMEA has much less time. But also EMEA NEED much less time. That is a fact that you should stop trying to argue.
Ehhh... Fracture is like their 4th map.
Split and Lotus are clearly their two top picks with Haven being also good. All of these 3 are Tejo less which is the important thing. Meaning they already have 3 strong maps in the bank. Thats a huge lead to Americas who have 0 or 1 non tejo maps.
Now they get on Icebox, Ascent, Pearl and Sunset like every other team.
I mean look at G2. The have to rework Icebox, Lotus, Split, Ascent, Pearl AND Haven. 6 maps need a lot more time than the 3 of FNC.
zyppan is benched my guy
proxh is insane. You lose the flexibility of kada but gain a potential star player. This teams shooting ability is bonkers at this point.
I wonder what happens after the EWC quals? This being a loan is very confusing
Here is your answer for Tejo: https://www.vlr.gg/488073/tejo-nerfs-strongly-benefit-emea-and-prx-analysis/#12
In regards to Sunset heretics is gonna get massively buffed. They dont play fracture and love sunset.
Kada didnt deserve to be benched but Proxh is a potential star player. he got that level of talent.
im confused why it is just a loan though.
Proxh??? When did that happen?
incredible player though
