You are including curry, FNS and Chet. Of course they are not Indian. I'm just saying FNS's parents/grandparents didn't even migrate from India, they migrated from Africa.

FNS is not an Indian. His roots are african.

They are limited free agents. If the new coaching staff decides to keep a few players, they will.

Sure buddy

Not if there is one more team coming from ascension. You always remain a no. 8 team.

Nahh. 100T was really doing well till Sean was the head coach, that too with mid players to begin. Since he left, 100T has struggled a lot and mikes was the head coach. Since then, the team has changed a lot and looks much better on paper, but that guy practically had not impact.

They haven't been the same since jingg left. Something isn't winning duels. Forsaken isn't winning trades. Jingg is no longer being able to abuse raze because of map pool. These guys used to be at the top of Pacific leaderboard, they aren't now.

His Raze is clearly better than his Jett and Neon. Same goes for PRX's Jingg (he plays Neon). It's the only reason I can think of these players struggling along with the team. Map pool in Shanghai and here are more of a Jett and Neon maps. Only Bind is a Raze map. He will be back with Split and Fracture.

Used to use .47. couldn't control the shaky aim.

Gets blazeking from GE and proceeds to win masters next year, this recipe is known.

Yep, blazeking and monyet in same team next year, and looking at the history of GE, RRQ will win masters next year.

Game has changed a lot since 2021. Pati went to overwatch and lagged behind ever since. Primmie has been really good. His movement is unconventional and he really takes fights well. Talon might upset a few predictions. Thai players really have the ability to do well, they have the talent pool. I seriously feel talon can go with an all Thai roster next year if it helps with comms.

DSG looks decent. They have really good dualists. Full sense, Naos and Boom definitely look better.

You are cooked. I'm almost certain curry is playing instead of sacy.

Most probably curry is playing.

We have DFM at the bottom for two consecutive years now. Why no such criticism for them? Why only the "Indian org"?

I swear, one of those 7 names (team + coaches) is winning the masters next year.

He is going to pop off in OF and win ascension next year, and win masters 2026, similar to texture.

Vatsal is incharge of both pubgm and val teams no?

Polvi is coming to save OF

It's hard to fix issues with only 10-12 official games in a year. They may have worked hard, it's not their fault TBH. That's why American teams replace the players so quickly.

How do you kick the owner? It's a private company and he finances everything. He got the hospital money.

They have almost 6 months to kick the other guy and remain bottom of the barrel team.

Maybe stop behaving like a dog? Who asked you to poke your nose everywhere?

The only Esport we take seriously is chess(dot)com. It takes one champion to convince the parents that a career can be built in a particular game. I have personally never touched mobile gaming.

Nobody cares enough about the game/gaming. India is a developing nation and most of the player base has "earned" their own gaming PCs via professional jobs. As a kid, you will most probably end up with flagship phone from a Chinese brand and a dinky laptop to fill college forms. It's rare to get a gaming PC as a kid. So most of yhe players start playing at 22 or more, and it's too late by then.

It's recency bias. Wait till rnt plays in ascension. Last year, OG won without dropping a single match (bo3 or bo5) and went 0-4 with the greatest achievement being able to take a map out of Bleed.

Please no. Nobody wants an empty stadium. We do have the infra, but the fan base is not there yet.

Daethmaker is inconsistent. He also has wrist issues, hence he doesn't practice much.

Nahh. I felt xccurate's flanks on attack were useless. It had no impact and was mostly there for cleanup on defence on icebox. That said, they looked much more comfortable in other maps

That guy is the literal definition of stupidity. But then, how come the university didn't cross-check his documents on submission? India has gone fully digital in terms of all educational certificates which are automatically attached to your national id number.

CIS is still very CS dominant region, so is Europe. South Asia, SEA and NA are the only Valorant favorite regions. I think the twitch viewership is mostly American and since CS is dead in NA, hence the lower viewership numbers. Even during CS majors, I almost never watched the tourney on twitch. I used to watch the matches mostly in-game where the game renders the matches IRL and you can watch the match with any POV along with commentary and adjust both volumes (game and commentary) to your liking. I was actually a much superior way to enjoy pro matches.

If the state of neon doesn't change, I would have to bet on heretics, although I'm a sen fan at heart. ❤️

I honestly smell a 13-0 here.

Nothing new. Watch him get out of GE next year, winning a masters or regional VCT and further making GE a laughing stock. I bet one of these players is going to go big next year, just as texture did.

That language is spoken only in few states in India. Most of the viewers prefer english broadcast, or local streamers hosting watch party (which also prefer english broadcast).

Salary increase was an issue. Global has not hesitated in bringing multi-lingual players. Texture having problems could be the reason why they didn't extend his contract. Monyet was signed for the longest duration (2025). I think it was good for both parties that texture left. Him being able to play in a language he is comfortable in, and GE not spending 2x the amount, facing similar comm issues and texture wasting another year, he is 24 and basically in his prime.

I honestly think Indian T2 teams have had better coaches, let alone Onur. Ewok was coaching a T2 Indian team. Even Abhishek Bajaj, VLT's current coach and ex Bleed (sub) and ex Bonkers coach has better scouting and results.

They are hoping for valorant mobile to be a success, just like pubg, is what I can guess. TBH valorant has been a bit successful in swaying all the viewership from CS towards itself and a sizable chunk from Pubg when got banned. Unfortunately India has a "special" version of pubg and the watching and money is huge. Even if they manage to get 25% of that game's success, it will be huge for them.

I mean someone has to be at the bottom. DFM has consistently managed to do that two seasons in a row. Funnily enough, DFM's coach last year is the assistant coach for GenG and they are frying every team. I won't be surprised to see Blazeking and Polvi playing in masters next year, and spin being a sub/analyst for a winning team. Some orgs just aren't meant for greatness.

The spot is better off with an OCE team. Problem is, there is no org rich enough (or interested to invest in valorant). I would just like GE to pick some talent from OCE as the core and proceed from there.

They have prettymuch solidified their position in playoffs.

Russ has his home back in goa, india. Although his passport is British and India doesn't allow dual citizenship. He is considered to be not an import.

Wait to you see polvi and blazeking in the masters. Probably Spin too just like Geng's coach.

Wait till the season is over, GE nukes the team and watch polvi and blazeking go to masters next year, probably benkai too.

Lets go GENG!!!!!!!! League, MSI, Masters <3

He played dualist in 1st 4 matches. They lost all 4 of them. He had issues with comms and there's no other way to look at it. He also played dualist in LCQ matches. If you speak map wise, he and skrossi played dualist on equal number of maps last year.

Monyet has left the team to join RRQ already

PRX needs to fix their eagerness to trade if they are playing harbor. All their maps with this agent are cooked. That 15th round was a disaster.

If you are from a working-class family (you don't have a family business), you have no other option. Maybe talk to a career advisor. Knowing what you want to become gives you purpose and helps a lot with motivation. There are many careers which don't require you to excel at subjects you don't enjoy.
