eliminate partnership or reduce partner teams and increase ascension spots, this way, tier 1 worthy orgs are attracted to invest into tier 2

faze, luminosity, optic, xset, acend, guild, m80, oxygen, version 1, big, complexity, and many many more, left valorant for a reason

i mean, with the players they had, apeks had decent macro, and molsi is good individually. he was hitting some nice shots vs koi and had some nice rounds. w the amount of teams needing an igl in emea, u never know

?????????????

they LITERALLY built the franchised system, and give these partnered teams money FOR FREE. there's no worthy orgs for tier 1 in tier 2 because the ascension system fucking sucks. APK gets their roster ripped apart by partnered teams, and that's somehow not Riot's fault? nice joke

XD??

apeks 2023 was basically liquid 2024, so yes

and tell me, exactly, why you think they haven't won a game

have you seen their players? they have fucking BATUJNAX PENNY AND AVOVA

they can only get cheap players. and look at vitality, they can buy ANY PLAYER they want. how is apeks able to compete against that??

molsi, olizera, comeback, minny, dos9, spikezin

2G and APK should work as examples on why the franchise system SUCKS for the competitive integrity of Valorant

these ascension teams would never be able to compete against partnered teams monetarily. look at the players APK are able to get, they were all tier 2 players they could get for cheap!!

and 2G couldn't compete with his star player because he was 17yo, and signed a TIER 3 PLAYER (PxS) BECAUSE HE WAS THE ONLY PORTUGUESE-SPEAKING PLAYER TO NOT HAVE VISA ISSUES, BECAUSE HE WAS BORN IN THE USA!!!

you don't give these teams any time to grow (only a year), but you give the spot to teams like KOI, FURIA, GE...

the only ascension teams to be able to compete at the level of the partnered teams were G2, M8, and DRG (WHICH SHOULD BE PARTNERED TEAMS ALREADY)

look at M8, they signed one of the rosters with the most potential in EMEA but failed miserably because they had no time to develop, because they know that if they don't reach champions, they get fucking relegated

TELL TEAMS TO INVEST OR KICK THEM OUT, ELIMINATE PARTNERSHIPS OR REDUCE THEM, LET +16 PLAYERS COMPETE AGAIN (even if they have to play online), LET SOUTH AMERICA HAVE HIS OWN LEAGUE. MAKE TIER 2 WORTH IT, THE SCENE IS DYING

sorry for crashout

emea double agent

they are possibly the team WITH THE WORST MACRO i've ever seen in my life

apk are only losing rounds because they have far worse player

ik u probably feel like ur grown up but ur life is just beggining bro, you'll move on. with effort, and patience, the right one will arrive, eventually

something something insert trash vs garbage meme something something

Reduxx
NiSMO
seven
rubkkoide

there's sum, hard to know who's the best, cus the tier 2 scene is too volatile

toooo much rng on this game

is water red type question

holyyy cherry pick

i believe leo will be back :')

crashies will fry in NA next year

jamppi and alfajer

Mediocre isn't bad. But he's not even top 6 IGLs of all time. He gets carried on by his individuals and especially his team, but he's not even close to the 2nd best IGL in the world rn

Boo is possibly one of the most mediocre IGLs to ever make it to a top team in tier 1, on my mama

ah

false, they get at least 4 (they win because of niesow 3ks)

nieSoW
ec1s
L1NK
Yacine
rhyme

thoughts?

babybay so good he's not even joining a team of his caliber, this is just a mickey mouse for king babybay

unless he does the boaster training arc where he focuses on staying sharp and getting that champs 2023 form back, sure (and also lower his ego, be more humble)

but not really on the mean time

aura in server sure but not the type of person that i would feel intimidated when they walk by

here's my top 10 (no order in particular)
virtyy
robbiebk
kingg
aspas
cortezia
ethan
johnqt
n4rrate
jonahp
valyn

from na? assuming he takes the initiator role, he's not really an upgrade for most teams

Crashies> C0M, JonahP, brawk?, Mitch but he's IGL

he'd only fit in eg, lev, or g2 (but i don't think that g2 is getting rid of jonahp, and he would have role issues w trent)

i hope he does make it to a top team next year, tho

reduxx is a really solid pickup

but idk about bao and kyu, there's not a lot of t2 na players that i consider tier 1 (especially when you consider the competition), but could def work w enough time

mm i think that demon1 was good towards the end of LEV, i think he can still a top duelist

and he has yay to play double duelist w him

Demon1 duelist (where else to get your last chance at tier 1 than the team you won your first title with)
Boostio flex IGL (EG reunition w Demon1)
yay sentinel (el diablo in his revenge arc)
supamen controller (extremely solid player, was probably their best during the season)
crashies (after leo coming back, he gets another chance in his own region)

this roster is NOT happening, but the narratives surrounding this roster would be fucking insane

WE JUST WITNESSED VALORANT HISTORY WTFF

agreed actually

cuzz?

1

this is my list:
fenis
CUM
s0men
JonahPee
Melsex
CumBack
Asspas
Ardpiiss

TH is fantastic. Just needs to work on communication, aim, map awareness, crosshair placement, economy management, pistol aim, awp flicks, grenade spots, smoke spots, pop flashes, positioning, bomb plant positions, retake ability, bunny hopping, spray control and getting a kill.

good map for being koi

and one of them is AN IMPORT

how is it possible to have the worst duelist and worst igl in the league at the same time?

free monsteerr

you should rather join discord servers teams for this, there's only golds in this website

onur said that he will eventually make everyone on the academy play every role, because their objective is not to win tier 2, but form new and young talent. so i think he will play smokes, eventually

bro it's proven that any mechanically gifted duelist can play controller (at least omen)

tenz
keiko
reduxx
yay
soon keznit
now cNed

he'd do good

if sylvan is so good, why hasn't he won vct emea?

this would be MY argentina wc roster

kru dantedeu5: duelist
kc saadhak: recon/main initiator IGL
shi rubkkoide: sentinel
lev neon: controller
koi pika: flex

u right maybe famsii

anyway apk has to rebuild an entire new roster ONLY to fight for ascension, their current roster wouldn't be able to beat pcf fokus or mkf

i mean yohpa sevire cyvoph and lovers rock? they'd have to drop a gazillion dollars tho, and we all know apk don't have that kind of money

if leo can't come back, he'll def get replaced with a rookie

there's 2 realistic na super teams (no imports, including johnqt) that come to my mind

1st oxy verno leaf valyn n4rrate
2nd zekken eeiu skuba reduxx ethan

maybe the roles in the 2nd team are a bit shaky but they are incredibly flexible players

you could put crashies in one of these, but most people would argue he's not a super player

most of the NA teams are good because of their coaching staff rather than their players, so it's hard to know

NONE of these a super teams bro (maybe 1st team)
