Roses are red,
M80 resigned nitr0.
I'll never do you dirty,
Like Navi did doombro.

I asked my buddy doctor strange to look into the alternate timeline where N0vi manage to beat the bottom EMEA teams and qualify.

Apparently it would've been Trace 2-0

Unironically, sign leviathan
if you cant beat em sign em

The day Valorant broke at LAN.
GG.

I fucking hate how good Lev take fights
Their fundamentals are so clean + composed

Hey guys, big 100T fan here!!

I’m currently on the plane to seoul and can’t wait to see my boy cryo at champs. I was just looking at the major schedule and couldn’t see any 100T matches listed. Is this a mistake from VALORANT? I’ll be honest I didn’t even bother watching regular season so I'm not familiar with the format and maybe that's why I'm having issues.

If anyone could help, that would be great! Thanks!

cn0d not even best turkish duelist

What possesses a real life human being to type "laugh thread" into vlr.gg

0-0

SO disappointing to see them throw away their careers like this...
There are children on these sites....

Can't believe they are broadcasting 5 men getting f*cked live😔

First attack round of their tournament and they
Tap B
Fake B
Fake C rotate
Rehit A
Yeah ggs everyones cooked

bump

Geng's attack is disgusting, Sen needed more rounds

lukewarm take

I wanted to see abyss :(

3 1v1s....
Sentinels are shaking ngl...

Bro is a 23 year old man show him some respect
He is fierce and dominant in the face of opposition

I was on a date with my girlfriend. She seemed off. I asked her what was wrong, and she replied “Our relationship is Sentinels”

Nah dont think so hes just making an observation I suppose

fps counter

Idk if you listen to a lot of radiohead but two that I would definitely recommend (my personal favs)
are Jigsaw falling into place
and Everything in its right place

If someone told me "win this valorant series and ill give you thousands" i would consider it a big game tbh

not saying theyre winning just saying hes mvp for tsm
cant win when sym is on pi watch :((

Im confused you make the point that he won a finals and then say its not about winning?

Your ascension finals MVP

Take karon off the list
He's the best itw rn but that doesn't mean he's second in a goat list
He played for one season
Part of being a goat is consistency and it's impossible to measure as of yet
But he definitely has the potential easily

Who is your NA Ascension playoff all star team?

My Picks:

CON - Zander
INI - Seven
DUE - Mada
SEN - neT
FLE - Koalanoob

COA - Happy
HM - gMd

Note this is only based on playoff performance, NOT REGULAR SEASON.

Izzy better

bro is desperate for upvotes on VLR.gg

Added

read it fucktard I know that and stated it

If you weren't a moron you would realise

If VIT beat trace then they play LEV
If TH beat FPX then they play Sen/Geng

Ok so... Here me out... This is just a thought I've been having.

Before being discouraged by the length of this. Just take a quick look. I promise you'll find it interesting.

For context I want to remind you Sentinels have the largest valorant fanbase ITW and contribute to A LOT of their revenue whether its from ticket sales, to online, to watchparties (ahem tarik) to merch and everything else.

What's been happening in Valorant esports as of late? Masters Shanghai. (Geng 1st, TH 2nd). I think riot saw major decreases in revenue from NA. No teams in the finals will surely do that and a lack of support from the big fanbase of SENTINELS will surely contribute. After all, high expectations as before Shanghai, business was booming as SEN won Masters Madrid. The money was flowing for riot. Now, not so much. As said before they saw rev decreases during shanghai mostly because (as much as I hate to say it) sentinels does bring them a LOT of viewership and a LOT of money from NA and elsewhere.

So what does that mean? Simple. Because Sentinels failed to qualify, when asked who the best teams in the world are valorant fans would say names such as TH, Geng, PRX etc but no Sen. After all a team that cant qualify cant be the best. No more SEN at internationals meant riot lost a huge portion of their revenue from this massive contributor. Thus, SEN lost their identity as a major powerhouse. Riot thought: "well its fine... They will qualify for Seoul and shit on everyone" and we will be back to making lots of money from them and we will all be happy greedy pigs. Well, sorta.

Yes sen have qualified but what riot weren't expecting was the group draw. Oh. My. God. If Im riot im thinking holy shit now even if sen win first game against the best team itw (geng) they have to play TH???? Theyre doomed. Panic mode activated. If Im riot im thinking its too late to save them at seoul so I enter crisis management ASAP. What can we do to get this team (our primary moneymaker) back to the top where they can be most profitable? (after all, more matches played, more rev. Keep in mind it increases per match until GF)

That's where the map pool comes in.
Riot shocked the ENTIRE valorant esports scene by readding split and pearl, whilst removing icebox and lotus. Huh... Weird. Wasn't split just removed? And why pearl? They changed nothing to either map?

I guess it's a concidence a map like Lotus is very favourable to Fnatic... A coincidence that TH have an 80% win rate on a map like icebox... Huh.
Funny how Sen's best map is split but it's also geng's worst (50% WR) and pearl? The map that was known by everyone as JohnQT's best map on ghost gaming? ok....
It certainly looks to me like they just single handedly nerfed every other region's best teams whilst buffing one team in NA the minute they didn't qualify for grand finals.

You cannot deny the evidence is there.
Why would riot suddenly panic change the map pool in this way?
If they had it their way I bet it would be in effect for champs
But that would be wayyyyy too sus
So they set it up for after the tournament to dodge allegations.

Dear riot,
I see
Right.
Through.
You.

see you next time

TLDR:
Basically Sentinels make riot A LOT OF money and them doing bad hurts their econ. After they didnt qualify for Shanghai and got an unlucky draw in Seoul, they needed to act. So they want to nerf Geng And TH whilst buffing SEN with the new map pool changes for 9.08 after champs.

I heard someone say the patch is only happening after Champs so perhaps this was for nothing but idk. Still doesn't explain wtf they are doing with map rotations.

Real

Like don't get me wrong I am totally insane
but isn't there a 1% chance that like

riot brough back split to increase revenue?
Note that riot have never done anything out of the blue that didn't profit them directly.
We all know Sentinels are pretty much unbeatable on split
Realistically the better sentinels do the more money they will likely get.
It's no secret sentinels have the largest fanbase

The more matches we see Sentinels at, the more viewers, in person and online. That itself massively increases revenue.
+Tickets +food&drinks +merch +subs
It's also true that sentinels have a massive female following
And South Korea has one of the largest female gaming populations (W south korea)
So that further increases viewership, attendance and all the rest
It's also very likely that riot saw a massive rev increase when sentinels won a masters and thought, damn what if it were a champs?

idk there are a lot of factors that would benefit riot by doing this
But why, why, why do they reintroduce split a month after taking it out?
And why Pearl? Again with no changes? Feels like a side character to the main character that is split...

The only major thing occuring in riot's world is Champs. It 100% factually has to do with champs.
But is it because Sentinels qualified?
I don't fucking know its 5am I'm severely sleep deprived
