neon was not in a balanced state, she was one of the weakest picks out there and often just being a raze but worse, heretics even dropped neon when she was buffed for raze. I dont think this is a good argument

not really
XLG > BLG > WOL overall
XLG > WOL > BLG western fanbase
being a #1 seed is helpful for support
The least hype team would be Wolves, like genuinely who tf gives a shit about Wolves of all teams
disagree, the chinese hype would be insane + wolves is supported by many westerners due to people like TMV
the actual least hype team would be like GENG/maybe G2
Reasoning:
EMEA hasnt had a win since tokyo, any EMEA team winning would do wonders for the EMEA fanbase
CHINA is new and the most doubted region with the biggest portion of fans, so any team winning there would be insane
AMER is not only one of the most hyped up regions itw but they havent won since madrid, so like the EMEA fanbase they are needing a trophy but also MIBR is a huge rep for brazillian fans and SEN is SEN
RRQ and PRX winning would be insane for SEA fans and PRX is PRX
This is just wrong, I dont even know where to start lmao
0/8
RRQ
XLG
TL
G2
----------------
FNC
GEN
SEN
BLG
nats
chronicle
redgar
kangkang
chichoo
stax
hm: zekken/cryo
man I miss 2022 drx, xset and 2021 gambit :(
part of the 1349 gang, everyone else is a new gen frfr
Ascendant 1, Smokes/Senti (its completely 50/50 rn), besides nats my favourite pro would be between KK and chronicle and redgar
bro I have gotten like 5 of my 15 posts removed from there, its so awful to talk in it
TEC looked good since after vs FPX, seeing them in a GF is not that surprising when you removed BLG and XLG
nats the goat, you got this!
if you trust international experience, TL should be above RRQ
if you trust the skill played, bare minimum XLG should be higher than TL no?
or how do you think about it?
This is true about the average VLRian, but tbh it doesnt matter that much, just enjoy the games and celebrate when your team wins
then why is rrq above TL?
well if they are in league its because riot already approve of them hence more likely to be favoured.
Money, willingness to invest into valorant, reputation, (and maybe affliation with league)
Omen/Viper/Chamber/Senti (depends on map/comp)
Top 2 in each region qualify, Top 2 in China evo (tec/edg) qualify
and the rest play online qualifiers (im not sure about apac) theres no tier 2
also it has no conflict with scheduled games
I agree but they said that about the last masters and well...
I feel like your doubting the other teams a bit but honestly RRQ is prob the favorites for all those game but I wouldnt put it above a 60% for any particular match up
i wanna see some random people in the evos, whether it be academy players, coaches, managers, content creators, its very fun
not confirmed we will know closer to the date, but unlikely "choose your opponent" again. but swiss is groups is usually what happens and playoffs is either a fun gimmick or just usual draws
"riot couldve and gotten in trouble" yeah and they did it and they didn't get in trouble lmao what are you saying
this is like saying, robbing a house is fine because I didnt get caught.
no point in arguing, this is not a real point, there is no ways anyone can sit here and say it doesnt matter if we broke the law! we havent been punished
no yeah not real
not really, sign a minor as a sub (pay child minimum) and play them
Yeah except for the fact that the matches Less played in Europe went over 10 PM most of the time lmao and was still able to play the entirety
its literally not legal, riot couldve and gotten in trouble, and if they continuted to allow it this can be used against them.
dawg you cannot be this dense, there were tens of other sponsors besides red bull lmao
dawg, which business is purposely limiting the amount of sponsers, can we think please. im not saying red bull is the only sponser, im saying you bringing up redbull is not a good point because THATS ONE SPONSER. as a business you need to MAXIMISE the amount you can get not limit.
there is a league minimum that teams have to comply to salaries (this does not apply to non franchised teams), riot cant enforce that if minors are playing and then franchised teams can cheap out only using minors, and spend that money elsewhere.
I don't get what you're trying to say here, matches during Iceland ended around 7-10 PM lmao and matches now end much earlier.
10pm is a hard limit for minors for many countries, a long tech pause, a long series, and boom, players like zekken legally can no longer be allowed to playing and need to subbed out
They had big ass sponsors like red bull during 2020-2022 where minors were allowed to play.
thats one sponsor, many sponsers will not willing sponser minors working, riot as a business should want every sponsor possible
This is also all not considering players younger 16
OH YEAH another thing Children are payed a rate speciffically for minors, which means riot has trouble enforcing the league minimum pricing
look at the times the event was run, do you know why they ended so early in the day? child labour laws. What about sponsers? sponsering a leagues where they are minors working is another issue. What happens if something like pacific kickoff happens where there is too long of a period where a minor is allowed to work? they would literally need to sub them off mid match
not true, they made specific exceptions to those players, keyword "exception"
If riot defaults against child labour laws they can run into many issues
it doesnt matter, they hold international events all over, your bound to run into multiple countries with the same laws, same with a majority of EU
Riot still has to to make it constant, they run an international esports that takes place over many countries. Theres also a question of fairness if your country bound
no, its because of child labour laws that riot has to follow
oh yeah for sure, I think G2 will be worse but I dont think it will be enough to fall out of the top 4
a whole event is never a fluke, if the teams were better than they shouldve won. The teams that adapted to the meta fastest were better, now that theres a slight meta shift and other team got more prep they are better. nothing wrong with that
from my knowledge, other team members do help with the midrounding (esp pati) but nAts is still the core of the mid rounding and what to do
A team spirit in tier 1 would be charity to everyone
its been very good, theres some wild rounds where the igling is questionable, but overall its very good competing with the best. huge props to the coach tho idk how it would preform without the coaches
any team with sayf has inner conflicts, add on derke + less and its just people with strong personalities clashing. still a very good player
I used to only post in the match tabs with nothing interesting besides "go liquid" so I barely got any ttraction
