Yh cause franchising def represents the best teams and players right? I would argue M80 and TGRD in 2023 were better than SEN, 100T, and other Americas teams. And to make things worse, we got teams like C9 trying to make budget rosters making the number of spots for top players even less.

When does Ascension start for 2024?

yh but esport orgs don't make that much to justify 6 digit salaries for every player. i think 60k-80k makes sense for the avg t1 pro and thats without the tournament earnings.

nrg?

if we all put our biases aside, this is truth🤷‍♂️
Fns and s0m are great but vic and crashies are the obvious choice here for NRG.

i don't understand why people underrate crashies and victor? i get that they probably can't be relied to be the best players on their team but they bring a lot to a team.
They have good chem together, they both (especially vic) can play a lot of different agents, they're really consistent, and are very vocal.

Crashies and Victor. Forever underrated
They just want to reunite with marved

flyuh the goat

he just wasn't comfortable on the senti role. he's more of a entry/op player.

jett/chamber op. can also play raze. i think his kj wasn't as good but def has potential if he gets the right help.

pick up Dicey, he's on the same level as demon1 and yay, just unproven on the main stage yet but with the nrg core, he's going nuclear.

babybay and dicey both underrated. dicey op is too clean

he igled rise and faze to actual contenders beside 2023. aside from igling, he is proven on multiple roles and has insane fragging potential.
i would choose poised over runi or stellar.

another wasted talent is thwifo sitting on 100T bench

i feel like he plays so much better on smokes than initiator. maybe get him off that role and try him on another role.

this is entirely the guards fault. but the way riot went about this is completely screwing over the players on the guard and creates a lot of questions for the future of T2 val. why can't riot fund the players as a f/a team or let other orgs help fund the players. how is this seen as the guard selling their spot when the guard doesn't make any money from this if all the players are f/as.
at the very least, they should move M80 up to ascension. i don't know why leo says that it would be wrong to move M80 up when riot did qualify teams before when the qualifying team couldn't make it. (liquid replacing fpx due to fpx not being able to attend iceland 2022)

did you see eg's merch? eg's merch makes marved's merch look so much better.

poised is the most underrated player in NA. he can play multiple different roles and is an really good igl.

bro is getting mad over shitposts 💀

prime tenz was 1 tournament. prime yay was a whole year

the whole m80 roster is unrestricted f/a. the only reason i would see them not make changes is if the current roster is on a lengthy contract.

N4rrate is really being overlooked. he has potential so i don't think its a bad move to at least pick him up as a 6th man and try him out in scrims.

is faze staying in val or no?

when does ascension start? this september or same schedule as last year?

any new scrims/ trails today?

congrats and goodbye 🐣

champs was great but i hate franchising so much 😭

depending on the contracts, i could see them running it back with the same team.

fr. they still managed to win the map and hopefully he can reset next map.

Are there any ranked demons or underrated T2 players in Eu that can be picked up by franchised teams? I swear it's almost always the same players in EMEA teams.

can someone tell me what mindfreak said here? i think he's talking about demon1 but im not sure.

😭

Sucks that the tgrd could possibly split up without even playing a single match in VCT.

Sick seemed like he was getting better recently. i would really hyped to see him make a comeback

is there other proof that its he's the one scrimming with sentinels? or is it just that tweet?

Depend how the contracts are with 100T players, -the whole roster except cryo and +M80 except koala.

I wish faze stayed and babybay returned to faze but I could see babybay joining MxM considering sym tweeted he's a f/a.

keep cryo - the rest, +m80 whole roster

so nrg scrimming with s0m and yay or marved and yay?

He probably would join SR if he gets no offers from VCT teams. Flyuh, brawk, moose, mada, and v1c already played together in minor tournaments and that roster has potential.

it's yung calc. makes sense why yay is annoyed lol

fr james_ff> george geddes

anyone else get on vlr to see if james_ff posted the daily scrimbux or just me?

maybe poised joining g2?

you can say the same about the jett one tricks?

i know it would pretty hard to get this info but is there a way you can tell if FaZe is staying val?

he probably makes just as much as an avg pro while not having to worry about scrims or preforming. unless he really wants to compete, i don't see why he would choose to go pro again.

i honestly don't think fns is that much of an issue. he is still a great igl but he doesn't have yay to bail him out occasionally.

add a cracked duelist. almost every team has a insane duelist player who can change the momentum of the game. they need a player who is an insane jett oper who can occasionally play raze as well.
oxy is that player. he would be perfect considering how young and talented he is. he also is an insane duelist oper.
other players they can consider are : Bdog, Yay, babybay, dicey.

this rivalry makes sense. eg beat them twice with close maps so ofc they want to face eg and beat them.
