1.) you have priority in those talent for example if x player is insane because they are in the academy team you get to sign that player to your main team before anyone else 2.) You can scrim your academy team and not pay them the full VCT tier 1 wage (so cheaper than EG's 10 man roster) and. you should know why scrimming yourself is good 3.) if a player is very good but you dont necessarily wanna keep them then you could sell them out with a high buyout the people gotta pay to get this player 4.) To develop talent, reminder you can participate in Tier 2 at 16 but for tier 1 you have to be 18 years old

if theres any push further its gonna be like an emea game and I gotta stay up till 5am T_T

EDG

I think if EDG played exactly like they did in kickoff, I might be inclined to agree. I think if EDG show up anywhere near their champs performance. Liquid are getting rolled

recently I’ve heard this rumor that certain pros are given cheats on LAN to make it more interesting, like demon1 era for example. do u think this theory is true? I also heard some streamers that are radiant are given mouse cheats and easier lobbies to help sell the game, but the game itself is rigged to keep players hardstuck. I know you work with riot so u probs won’t admit too it but you seem genuine so figured worth a try to ask.

what?
buddy do you know what a skill floor is?

This is true BUT APAC has by far the highest skill floor and the average in the region is way higher than the rest of the regions too. that being said I think apac will go 1-1

kai the forgotten soul who diffed aspas on jett :( buZz is a good choice too

Aspas
Kai
Zmjjkk
Derke
danii1

whats wrong with leo

oh nvm I get it

in no particular order

Duelist
t3xture, buZz, Hyunmin

Controller
Karon, Mako, Mindfreak

Initiator
Free1ng, Stax, BeYN/Munchkin

Sentinel
Meteor, flashback, foxy9/d4v4i

Flex
Primmie (ig?), f0rsaken, akame

but jett is still the best duelist out there

raze and yoru clears but its aight

oh yeah also I said soloholding brings my kast down is cuz it means if they go the other site and win it then I usually have to retake with an op which means 90% of the time I just die without getting a kill

i feel like ur not getting traded on attack too

yeah thats true, I lurk a lot, and so I cant really be traded. Another thing is that if I do go with the team, its because my team is already struggling to win any contenstion of an area (such as site or lotus rubble or fracture A main etc) so most of them cant trade me because the team play just isnt there. I try to comm to swing together when im with my team but hasnt worked out as you can see.

Im gonna try my best to improve that thanks

bro I promise you that the cypher stats are fraudulant, I got like a 2.7 k/d on an abyss game against a shit team cuz I deranked to plat 3 and farmed some plat-gold players

yeah thats pretty true, but idk how to fix that really. I take a lot of first contact and do a lot of solo holding. I think thats why. Im gonna try be more consistent on those rounds thanks

ive explained many times why I have played chamber, so if you wanna see that just scroll up a bit. but let me just say this. I play other agents and it isnt more successful either

yeah I have 0 clue how to improve my KAST, its always been shit, any tips would be great. I also dont like the idea of not filling (except intiator because I cant frag on the role so ive stopped playing that). but ive always played comfortably on sentinel, controller and duelist. I can perform on those roles so I dont think filling is bad in that aspect.

I also never run it down. I usually solo hold site or mid with an op and play retake on the other site or on attack I usually lurk with some exceptions for a mix up or if my team is usually unable to enter site or win a specific choke (such as lotus A rubble). so im not sure what gave you that impression.

yeah thats cooked buddy, wish you the best out of silver

yeah thats crazy man. wish the best for you

I get what you mean, completely. I dont play smokes that often because there is always a clove instalock, and I just do worse if I cant op. Ive played quite a bit of other sentinels such as cypher killjoy with relative success. Chamber is just nice cuz I can quickly rotate to both sites and I can op comfortably. I think I will switch to playing killjoy some more (and omen) when I can but I wouldnt be shocked if my performance goes down as a result. (basically solo winning rounds is just eaisier on chamber)

to the best for the both of cuz we clearly need it

Yeah makes sense its just a bit fustrating to lose this much

I do hop off the chamber many times it just hasnt been that successful (especially intiator). I was originally a smokes only player but then clove came out and ive kinda be hopping around the sentinel role which is very awkard to op

yeah but I get kicked off the smoke role so often because they always is 2 instalock duelists and a clove. and opping on sentinel is very iffy (opping is what im best at) im prob gonna be filling killjoy some more tho because the chamber isnt working out

I just wanna do the most I can to try win. people already barely comm. I just give a basic preround plan and say "can we do this" in the mid rounding so nothing to complicated, ive got a decent sense of the game so I feel confident to do so. There are games where ive tried not igling and just letting things go but I havent seen much difference in my personal performance (except I do get caught out less 1-2 times cuz im watching the minimap less per game)

The entirety of china, The huge liquid fanbase, the huge vitality fanbase, the huge sen fanbase, the huge T1 and DRX fanbase and literally anyone invested into vct. This tournament is gonna be fine

S1Mon isnt even a bad shooter he just sacrifices him ability to frag to play intiator

but to answer your question shr1mps mechanics are pretty mid. he is normally 3rd frag or lower

I like chamber cuz I can op, which is one of my best guns. im very comfortable on like any agent that isnt intiator and ive filled for those. havent seen much success tho.

I used to exclusively play viper and omen in fact

too much duelist in a comp, if I did sometimes there would be up to 4. I only like to fill duelist

Agreed, I want to grind back to ascendant and I feel like my skill is higher than before yet its just lost after lost

ive played with some friends and I switched up from person to person yet it still hasnt worked out :( maybe its just a rough patch tho

the worst part is that I feel like this is the best ive ever played and yet this is the worst wr ive had for a very long while

because SEN are a top 4 team and were very good that tournament? GENG were literally b2b grandfinalists they are better than majority of Orgs. The only orgs in vct history that are on par or higher are: SEN, GMB, OPTIC, LOUD, FNC and EG

https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/GambleNats%23GMB/overview
this is so cooked, ive tried IGLing, ive tried filling, ive tried just fragging out, IT ALL JUST ENDS UP IN A LOST </3
Im staying in diamond so far cuz my gains are high and my loses are low but I just cant win T-T

the roster was winning trophies... by this logic, they would do everything they can to keep the roster if they only cared about winning...

oh no, a player wanted to leave the org and the org didnt forcibly imprison him what ever will apac do

who won the last two events?

bro respectfully stfu, your opinions are ass. S1Mon being a duelist in the past doesnt matter because he plays intiator and has some the best utility for it. EDG also made an IGL change and coach change, they play very differently from the past. ffs they won champs bro

Liquid literally have a single player, nAts, who has played EDG twice, (he wasnt even an igl back then either). keiko and pati has played them once and the rest of them have never even met EDG. what is your point?

EDG are by far the favourites to win this match, you clearly do not know ball

very good

Ardiis was like the best performing duelist in tokyo besides kk I believe

champs clears every time

G2 got semis in val in 2021 and 3rd in shanghai thats gotta be worth something for them

LFG!!!

Yeah the org is doing really good rn, their league team looks good rn too. They play c9 in the semifinals and if they win the grandfinals against (probably flyquest but 100T have a chance) they will qualify for First stand, leagues first LAN event this year

BLG, MIBR, GENG, HERETICS do not look like great teams rn (GenG can slide by but every other third seed do not look nearly as good) I think its good to keep bangkok the best of the best, every game feels fun to watch and theres a genuine chance that every team can win bangkok

Viper excels when she can put a wall somewhere and threaten a lurk that is very threatening and hard to clear out with a player there. (so far there isnt a wall that is very effective)
She cant hold nearly as well as a senti anymore and she cant be a solo controller so its hard to slot her in somewhere. Viper also has limited smokes especially since she cant pick up her orb anymore.

um no?
