still goated phnx coach other than times you flashed yourself xd

singapore both had high pings around 60-70.

Yep horrible from both teams tbh they looked lost , only Envy2k showed any potential for future from our side while DRX had both yong nd zynx hitting nasty shots

Much better player than this brother infact he should be best player on the roster he has played in Tier 2 continuously despite being young.
First time playing international so probably completely choked .

Finally mods thanks exciting debut from Envy2k so far remarkable rise he has had in a year .

Most ascendants , some unranked, 1 or 2 diamonds.
Some are also queuing HK over SG nd mostly they are doing 3 stack 5 stack

Full trust in plug xd

The double duelist meta of onur lives on !

Registration open for qualifiers should begin sometimes this week or next , they haven't given the date yet.
Grp stage is after masters bangkok in March for split 1.
They are planning 3 splits nd a seperate ascension qualifying tournament as of now

Okay so obviously 22 nd 23 would be zekken nd bang right though not sure who is who ?

Forget about discussion any list without Keiko can't even be called anything more than a blank sheet of paper

How do you even fix that though?
Divide the ranking into 2 just like Riot has done with system?
Otherwise win momentum calculation will always be this way .
Maybe one fix they need to do is give more points for international win instead of regional wins which will sort it out a bit but then off-season will largely keep the rankings stale for whole season

Nope nope only valo division for 2 years i think till franchising is re-evaluated
But u never know with OG they may return when they feel like

He himself said september so he isn't going anywhere rn.
Also OG is closing has officially been said by owner Yash though he added maybe to it.
Everyone except Hellf nd Techno has already posted LFT , maybe they hv some offers

No space tbh nobody in that team is droppable for various reasons.
Dm nd Anti are like best friends, Azys nd Georrgy are imports nd Rawfiul is star Indian player of the core playing with Anti since the start.
Even 6th Levi is a talent they themselves developed so are attached to him.
Hellff would still hv a slight chance due to his friendship, techno i think zero chances with RNTX

Looks like they are just giving sort of fanbase by collaboration with VLT , won't invest much .
Anyways looks like Skrossi has been told to play qual while his former org RNTX has got the invitation bcz he is going off rn

I think quals are soon , grp stage is still in march, Rossi was talking abt participating in quals from his home so maybe invited slots arent there lets see.
Also OG has just let go their roster and some weird rumours of SOUL entering are floating so everything is mess

IonlywatchvcjXD is biggest campaigner on vlr against foreign imports in any league. Now watch the flags on Scarz team rn or check their history to see who all have played for them xd

Let's go beef time xd

I mean your answer is literally visible in the trend . The finals didn't have a Brazilian team thus missing out on Brazilian viewers . Sen has certainly dropped their fanbase by about 20% due to losing Tenz and hence aren't capable or even the biggest team by viewership in Americas anymore. While Brazilian fans loyally supported every good BR team first holding onto to a dangerous looking LOUD but their elimination saw shift to MIBR who accompanied by Aspas fans were the biggest fanbase in kickoff and MIBR vs SEN final was your only hope of breaching 600k mark , no other final matchup other than maybe LOUD vs Sentinels could have gotten bigger anyways

I think this list is now in need of an upgrade has been pretty long and some of them have even made it to Franchise

absolute demon the most underappreciated till now for what he has been doing. He is literally leading in almost every stat in a region which has imo shown most insane shooters this kickoff

It happens to the best of them but seeing how high his peek was he should make a comback again at some point of time

Even being from Pacific I won't believe this bro EMEA clearly has best level of play they hit insane shots every match + great unique ideas too everyday

Obviously they are better than him but like what I meant was he is not being clean with his shots rn he hits unreal numbers on head something he is failing to do for most parts on the stage. I think he has had a map or 2 in his true form nd they generally come as series nears it's end so if this goes map 5 I expect him to deliver a bit

Still not comfortable here somehow he was much better with aim in Brazil off season invitational idk if he is still having problems with true stretched res

Engh

If you wanna watch that sleep now and wake up by 6 you should catch the ending of the match or even more if its a banger. Just try and get up at 6 am since its a bo5.
Otherwise you may end up falling asleep in between or will have headache whole day tmrw

whatever happens should definitely beat the viewership number for kickoff and would probably be the most viewed kickoff match yet

I still feel FUT may make it over TH bcz FUT has made it look easy mostly but they have clearly not hit their gears on stage yet , they are better than what they have shown till now.
But all I know they may not even turn up today and lose to Liquid

Atleast EMEA is shooting back the hardest and if they keep shooting like this in Masters they will do well dw its not like they don't have good coaches and strats

It's Aspas he has numbers , trophies, consistency nd he has also defined the perfect Jett in Valorant Competitive. Him playing for Mibr has brought them up on viewership chart nd you know he is him when even half of pros all around the world including in India glaze him nd roamed with Leviatan bundle to pay their respect to him.(It also helps classic was good)

Talent was least of issues for most of our teams it looked like they just didn't prepare anything whole off-season. I looked at EMEA and Americas and then at Pacific and the difference this year has been wider maybe other regions improved more but honestly our SEA teams were trying wacky ideas and plays just for the sake of it just like PRX keeps doing. I hope we wake up and start playing Valorant with little more structure or we would be left behind by Korea and other regions obviously

wow quite a reaction when I myself am admitting he is a great player but there's more to this game than just cleaning heads bro, maybe he will get there in time where he would be insane but he is nowhere near there yet so plz relax and wait

nope he isn't one match in 20 doesn't make him an insane talent he has his moments ik he had some last year but this year has been much drier . He is a great talent who belongs nicely at this level but he isn't the future of Valorant or something anyone who believes that is just stupid. Multiple rookies who have come up this year like Free1ng and Yoman are able to match him. Infact today whole match Karon was clearly the better of two and Karon himself debuted last year just like him being a ranked demon without much pro play

He isn't mid but he is just another good player in Tier 1 he isn't like Aspas or that level of talent who can carry his team alone but some people unnecessarily overhype or overhate him

1. Aspas
2. G2
   Nd then you can put the rest wherever you want

not really Tenz himself was good last year people like Derke, Keznit and literally any great player who played in 2021 are still good other than select few who actually completely fell off later due to their own lack of same dedication and efforts

This the shots he hit , the highlights he had were absolute peak I haven't seen anyone look that unbeatable round after round in Valorant master and champions history and I have been watching since the very first. Demon1, KangKang, Suygetsu,Cned,Tenz,Chronicle also were insane in respective tournaments in whcih their teams went onto win but they were nowhere close to what Woot was pulling off.

Vcl India, SEA and any other match which may have storyline or hype nd obviously all ascensions

onur cooking the double duelist meta wow

as VLR understands a rolling 3 player system where atleast 3 from last roster transition to a new one. It doesn't matter who were the original 5 you started with ,if you always keep 3 and remove the other 2 and repeat.
But obviously we don't see it that way so simply any grp of same 3/4 guys who keep playing together

welcome back Sultan finally it had been long time coming

Yep Latam is stacked this year I am expecting a strong push in ascension from them.

The only memory I have of TSM is how every iteration of their roster was super hyped nd had huge fanbase beefing with Sen fanbase but TSM always ended up losing to random teams getting eliminated early and fans slowly gave up on them with time

Also I keep an eye on 9z team Nagz delz1k nd Taco all are playing for them this year looking to re-work the magic of past.

Nobody can forget man I was so heartbroken with that chronicle ace to deny in overtime. I wanted that underdog run to go all the way ....

Aspas arrives here in final boss form accompanied by NZR.

Lewn is impressive
Kush too
Socialbee is great
Minny
Profek
Kaajak

I think these nd names mentioned already by others is comprehensive list for now.

I believe in what Engh said - Last year he thought that you need to play meta comps to win but he realised with time that you can actually win with any comp as long as you understand what you are doing nd you put enough practice to make it work.
I still believe 2021 international teams had some of the brightest minds as their coach nd if they believe nd play unique comps nd win with it others can also do so if they are good at their work .
