I would assume its because Cyro was their best player in 2023 and that 100T also spent a fat stack on Boostio's contract too so they wouldn't want to buy out Jaw just for a slight upgrade.

I would say its because no team exactly "needed" him since he played omen/raze most of the time. 100T had asuna (would be an upgrade but jaw doesn't play initiator), SEN had zekken, LEV had aspas, G2 had leaf, NRG had demon1, and C9 had oxy, and we know the BR teams weren't going to pick him up either.
That's always possible but the problem is who would do that? Valorant viewership has already started to decline and Riot doesn't seem to care that much about it anyways. Only reason G2 bought the Guard's spot was because they always wanted to be in franchising, the same can't be said about other orgs.
Probably can't lie, season is over and most teams are using scrims as trials for new players so the strats are extremely low rn.
True congrats on having another BR team in T1
2023
LOUD picks up two rookies
2024
FURIA picks up Xand and Havoc
I wouldn't count them out of the picture only MIBR because idk wtf they are doing
How exactly?
LOUD
Zap IGL + initiator
Sato Duelist
Pancada Smokes
Less/Lukxo Sentinel
Cauanzin Initiator
Furia
MW Duelist
Khalil Smokes
Urango IGL + Initiator
Nzr Secondary Caller + Initiator
Pryze/Lukxo Sentinel
MIBR has legit no cash so I don't care about them.
I could see BR actually make a very good comeback next year but they lost half the talent they could've had.
I mean sure come on you guys just won the Tier 2 trophy very good job but in all seriousness it would've been better if they lost. Not only would it have given the other 3 Brazilian teams more talent to work with but also less competition in getting them. I could very easily see Zap go to LOUD or FURIA as a replacement but he's in Tier 1 now. All these teams have to work with GLRS so talent is very limited. Because of this idk if Brazil will be that competitive going into the next year.
Lost to Barca, failed to qual, and was forced down into the playins
(dropped 105 so not fraud yet)
Lost to CGN and failed to qual
(keke lost to benny, fraud watch was coming)
WENT TO CHINA AND FAILED TO QUAL
(lost all of his aura, fraud watch, and was getting carried by slowly in the first place)
In less than 2 months he has lost 3 qualification games into playoffs, that's just tuff.
Bro is like if he had Ange1's brain and b0tster's aim wtf was that map one
PRX, TH, GLRS
Who throws the grand finals of a LAN the most?
you know t2 production is bad when they can't even afford to have a 60 second timer during the timeouts 💀💀💀
GE put my boy t3xture on sentinel and Monyet on smokes when both of them shine on entry type duelists.
Flag spotted and GE mentioned. I put two things together.
If RA make it to Tier 1 I doubt they would leave for T1, if you get picked up by a Chinese org you're basically set for life unless you get dropped, those guys make the networth/paychecks of other orgs look like pennies.
This is assuming M80 make a comeback and win ascension + doesn't let go of their roster
This ain't perfect so add your suggestions.

Bro what tf are you even saying... The best two teams from NA this year was an ascension team that had a complete nobody come in as duelist and a team that did horrible the year prior with basically no expectation to win something big and even then a tier 2 player helped them do that. This "ELITE" talent is nonsense look what happened with NRG, how did a tier 2 team do better than world champions?
That makes no sense, players from m80, TSM (some), MXS, Oxygen, Darkzero are already enough to fill in the gaps for NA tier 1 teams with at least 2-3 rosters left of players. NA teams even get options on who to pick up and aren't limited to just the best team like other regions.
Not to be that guy but f0rsaken has a 0.45 rating in the two games he's played breach and has only 13 assists despite PRX playing heavy rush comps.
Demon1 + TenZ is too much aura if they we're in their primes
A6. The trophy broke
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
why did i find this so fucking funny
Yes but then again Jaw was insane on Jett this year and could be a better fit as I feel like Zellsis and Jaw would mesh well together.
He's currently being paid by riot to completely go streamer mode to bring back the viewership in Valorant, normie streamers average ~1k-3k viewers while this man pops open a stream and gets 20k+. Since Tarik is gone Riot needs a way to get Valorant back on the top streaming on Twitch and who else but the face of Valorant who just announced his retirement. Don't worry SEN fans he will be back shortly after Tarik comes back or whenever the viewership comes back.
DISCLAIMER NOTHING SAID HERE IS MEANT TO BE SEXIST IN ANYWAY, IF YOU ASSUME THAT THATS JUST YOU
With the disclaimer out of the way I just wanted to list the massive issue regarding how T2 is treated compared to how GC is treated. If we look at T2 and GC they basically are the same with qualifying stages and then the last stage into the biggest event of the year. But the thing is why is GC given such a big budget with their prize pools and hella good production while ascension has been absolute dog shit this year. And this is a fact but T2 is exponentially more important than GC is since 4 teams in ascension will be moving up into the T1 scene. Also the underlying issue of orgs as well, orgs have more of a incentive to say in GC than they do in T2 which just shows the massive issue.
People are wondering why the VCT scene is dying with so many people and orgs leaving and its just because Valorant legit doesn't care unless they can make an ass scene which promotes everything and not focusing on just one thing that can actually help the scene grow. Just imagine if ascension had the same amount of viewers as a normal AMER game and production that would blow up the scene but ofc they spend it all on GC.
Also legit what has GC accomplished for Valorant that gives them such a big idea to continue treating it like normal Tier 1 Valorant? The championship legit washed over in like 3 days and the only thing I and many others know about it now is the drama that comes from it not even the teams.
no fraudnatic allegations from 2021-2022
Doesn't matter if they won that or not they didn't make Berlin, we all saw what happened with SEN when they didn't make Shanghai.
OK. But that was only Edg,
Bro is actually the definition of a drunk driver trying to lie to the cops 😂😂😂
And I'm about to prefire your braindead response of "I was talking about winning an event" bro that's not what I'm even talking about 😂😂
EDG wasn't the only Chinese team to beat LEV......
I loved watching my Brazilian Istanbul champion, 5th-6th place 2022 champs finisher, master Reykjavik MVP, and the 2nd best player on C9 the year prior in NA T2!!!

before you say your braindead response of "LEV isn't NA" im talking about AMER as a whole who also shat on SEN and G2.
Your response is the equivalent of a drunk driver trying to complete a sentence in front of a cop. Like mine actually made sense yours didnt.
Didn't our 3rd seed team beat your guys best team
Speculation but many people are saying since SEN might pick up Jaw then potter might come in as a package
What is most likely going to happen
What I want to happen
Predicted:
EMEA - PCF (gonna be pretty bad can't lie they are about to lose 3/5 of their players if they win and I doubt they will make a comeback)
AMER - M80 (unless they get an actual duelist player/make actual duelist comps I doubt they will be top 5 in AMER)
PACIFIC - DSG/Riddle (only teams that actually seem decent without many roster changes, probably just more strats and they are cooking)
No there's a reason why people hated the single elim format this year and putting it into the most important tournament of the year? hell no. You just sound like you want it because the last time there was single elim format EMEA won all of them.
Because they've only lost to Apeks (probably the winners this year) and have been doing really good against everyone else so why change?
M80 - No one being an actual duelist player
TSM - Made a miracle run
The radiant and immo players in question never being able to get into a q because they blocked all of the players who shit on them 🤯
y0y was a jumpscare almost shut down my pc there
60k a month is nowhere close to 2m but speak your facts.
Its the 2021 FNC effect, same reason why FNC be dropping all of their best players but b0tster is still there.
Not even trying to start anything but that shit was one of the best and most hype games I've seen in T2, yet Valorant still treats this level of pro play like shit. Really goes to wonder why GC wins the same as a season starter LAN while these guys only get like ~20k. Like at least give them like ~100k per region it won't kill your bank account riot and they also give you more views.
Watch Prime 2022 DRX lift the Istanbul champions trophy
