Esports is already incredibly unstable, getting rid of franchising would mean that many orgs would leave the scene
Oxygen has been a fully formed roster since September
100T got a new igl like a week ago
surely that would mean there's some different expectations
Do you seriously think that the franchise teams put the same effort into prep and strats as the ascension teams?
true, who cares about those 100T bums though
it's a mickey mouse tournament a week after a major update, taking these games 100% serious is a little questionable
The ascension teams are using this tournament as a way to prove that they can compete with franchise teams, and are taking it as seriously as possible
The franchise teams are using this tournament to get used to playing tournaments
there's a pretty big difference in motivation there
you don't need to get into an ivy league or get into a top school to become a surgeon
getting into an ivy league is easier than becoming a pro player
let's look at the numbers, and compare the precursor to becoming a Valorant pro, to your "precursor" to becoming a surgeon (even though only 8% of students accepted to grad schools went to an ivy league)
In order to become a pro player, you must be a radiant. There are only ever 2,500 radiants in THE WORLD at any time.
There are 8 ivy leagues, which each admit around 2,000 students a year, for a total admittance number of 16,000 ivy league students a year
It is more competitive to be a radiant than to get into an ivy league, and you DON'T need to go into an ivy league to become a surgeon
C9 was trolling, look at their icebox comp
It’s harder to become qualified as a pro than it is to become qualified as a surgeon, it’s harder to get a position as a pro than it is to get a position as a surgeon, and it’s harder to stay a pro than it is to stay a surgeon
I’m 100% confident that I (3.9 unweighted GPA, 1450 SAT) could become a surgeon, but I know for a fact that I could never become a pro player
Being a surgeon is difficult, but not as statistically impossible as becoming a pro
C9 26-0 whoever
You are competing with MUCH more people to become a pro than you are to become a surgeon, and there are MUCH more positions to become a surgeon
Anyone decently smart with a good work ethic can become a surgeon. It's a career path that is well respected in society as reliable.
Not everybody can become a pro. All it takes is being born with a low natural talent and slow reaction time and you will NEVER become a pro.
There are hundreds of thousands of surgeons around the world, and 180 franchise valorant players in the world.
Becoming a pro is significantly more difficult than becoming a surgeon
I mean most pro players work 10-12 hours a day
neither job really has work life balance
being a pro player is an easier job than being a surgeon
but becoming a surgeon is easier than becoming a valorant pro, just because of supply and demand.
Only the top 0.0001% of valorant players can ever become a pro, whereas around 15% of med students make it through school
I’m bringing sen up because they lost scrims to 100T yesterday
they will show everyone why they're the best team in the world
C9 26-0
C9 DOING WELL IN SCRIMS

if you think an ascension team losing a SCRIM (not even a match) to a franchise team touted as top 3 americas is embarrassing, you seriously need to reconsider your expectations
can't believe people actually pay attention to this stuff
not really, high level franchise team vs ascension team
also scrims aren't everything
Pancada is a good player, it's a shame he had to compete for a spot against the GOAT support player of all time Zellsis
don't know why you're talking with an oxygen flair
Dapr in 2024💀
C9 are undefeated against Sen after 2021
C9 owns your fraud org

pipe down little buddy
c0m is a system player, without ethan and boostio he’ll flop
I feel like Vic's never been that consistent. I remember a lot of games where optic needed marved and yay to pop off to make up for him dying every entry
I don’t think it matters since BabyJ is retired
Not like there’s a career to mess up. If anything he should be happy for the opportunity to farm impressions
fraudulent and bad are 2 separate things
definitely more fans than Stream Raiders Nacague
Tbh if i was a team owner in a minor region (EMEA) i would start selling my teams to secure the bag. I mean, have you seen the Americas teams?
Nrg
Lev
Loud
C9
Sen
You cannot beat these teams with the low talent EMEA region has
Valorant carbon copied CS's core game... maybe be careful calling it boring
there is more to the game than just competitive.
m80 seems like an org that makes smart decisions, i'd like them in franchising
so many people are getting so angry over me not enjoying the core mechanics of a game
idk why they're so insecure over a game I haven't played in ages
wasn't too hard I was performing fine, winning more games than I lose
I just didn't enjoy it anymore. I don't like games where there's 30,000 things flashing on my screen and shooting matters less than util
also ascendant is top 10% of players so idk what you're on about. You probably haven't seen your way into plat before
Haven’t played valo in 3-4 months ngl
Ascendant/Diamond got to the point where so much util was getting dumped I stopped enjoying the game
Cs2’s been fun imo
