My ears are bleeding from how much the mic is cracking in the Alter Ego vs Orangutan match...
Such a luck based set-up
Specially with the prize pool being as big it is for Predator League
But I guess the time limit is a thing with VCT starting in 2 days
But oh well...
I don't get why they kept both Venka and Makaveli
I get keeping Venka but then Makaveli is good too and they play the same role
Predator and Acer are huge out here
Sponsors a good number of teams throughout different games as well as individual content creators too
Pretty sure sponsors lots of tier 2 tournaments too
I do believe the international are good as they are but we need more regional matches
Teams will be just fine playing 2 games a week
You won't get hate
This is what people believe
Still don't know why they do double round robin for League but can't do it for Valorant
It's still preparation time
Imagine this
You have prepared certain comps for the entire off season
Now you scrap all that and make new ones in 5 days
It's like it you study for an exam all year and the week before the exam they add a chapter which has a huge portion of the marks
It usually is, it was same for Clove and VYSE iirc, don't know what changed.
Problem is that, the second the other teams catch up, the teams which win only based on absolutely abusing Tejo will fall off and it won't be pretty.
People atleast had time to prepare for Neon.
Watch a random team absolutely abuse this agent and do some crazy damage and then completely fall off once he is patched.
"For further context on allowing Tejo in competitive play, our goal is for the sport to feature the exact version of the game that everyone can play, as closely as possible. To mitigate the disruption to teams, we gave teams an advance notice in early Dec. that a new agent would be unlocked in Kickoff (this is when we also shared the competitive map pool for Kickoff). Then, early access was granted to all pros on Jan. 6 so they could test and practice Tejo before he is publicly released. The solution is definitely not perfect, but itβs not like teams are finding out about and trying out Tejo at the same time as everyone else."
Jake Sin says the pros got early access on 6th, while they were given notification about new agent in December
This may sound in his words, "slightly better", I don't see how it is.
For one, letting pro teams know in December makes no difference as it's the same thing we knew. That an agent is about to come and he is an Initiator. Don't see how this helps.
In my opinion, the teams should have been given time till atleast Bangkok or even Kickoff playoffs for them to actually understand and form a stratbook on the agent. Considering how cracked this agent is in terms of post plant, this will be a race of whose gamble on the agent works faster.
5 days is just not enough time for an agent. I don't see how an entire corporation and not one person thought of this and even if they did, took no step in prevention or getting a better solution like releasing the agent few weeks before.
You have M8 in EMEA top 2 and gave reasoning as the fact that Vitality lost to M8 in April 2024?
Map pool
Plus i like what they are cooking with Jinggg exploring new roles

You know with how close Pacific is, I wouldn't be surprised
And Xi Lai is very good
Who the fuck is losing to Apeks 15-1?
He will nerfed in a patch or two
Am I the only one who doesn't see this amazing vision everyone has about this team?
Like everytime I see peope talk about them, I see them glazing this team a shit ton which i don't get. I don't think they are a terrible terrible roster but I also don't think they are making it to any internationals unless and until there is a huge upset...
A disgrace to humanity. These should have stayed in the vault.
That being said EDG and a few China ones look very clean π
I mean tbf
If there is a team who would run deadlock all year, it would be M80
Good if true
Just hope he doesn't overcook like he did at times with Sen
Still a good coach tbf
But still has big shoes to fill
Holy fuck what happened to you during Christmas
Why are you being intellectual
Question is, are they the best Korean team tho

No you can't (I don't play the game no more)
Not anyone in Americas maybe like 2G or Loud but that's it
NAVI

Well I sure hope he is permanently gone for good
Good riddance
Lowkey Vitality
Are there really a lot of superteams this year tho? I know Vitality, I don't see any other one.
I really want to see how IGLing goes for Sayf
