probs didn't cheat in val, but he was banned in battalion I believe for cheating, multiple times and I believe even multiple games
don't quote me on that tho, that's what I remember from the heretics first strike days/rumour mill

yeah when I saw the mixwell announcement, I knew it was mostly for clout.
he seems to be like tenz but for the spanish community or smth

Ppl not being interested up until the observer misses one kill, then it's only hate.
Oh well just another day of an observer

Nice article! I actually did read it
Would be cool to go more in-depth, but looking at the comments, this basic surface level was already too much for this community ig...

F

They're pretty equal to each other
Doesn't mean they're good

I think they're saying that bc in the article, every americas slot is accompanied by a USA flag

WHAT AN AMAZING CLUTCH FROM hfmi0dzjc9z7

TTR getting plucked, players and staff

poor newzera, probs bullied into leaving :(
this might actually be a W for KC tho, not bc of newzera being out, but bc of scream not IGLing anymore and a coach IGLing instead.
curious to see how it'll go, but feels like it can only go up cuz they're rock bottom rn

the OT thing is interesting, probably testing to see if it can work in regular officials as well

Alrighty then

Aka until after champs

Yo holy shit imagine that disguised win ascension with yay 💀

YAY CLEARS

The difference is that Trent was not in a clouted tier 1 org replacing yay/vanity

Problem is also that when there's consistently less jobs for broadcast talent, they'll have to/will pivot to a different job and we will lose them if this continues

so glad you guys are writing about this, it needs more attention

LET'S GOOOOOO

Poor crws, hope he recovers quickly

W move tbh, Kru might actually be able to do some damage now (not saying xand was bad)

it's fine as it is, the leagues are built for the long term, and through ascension there will be eventually 16 orgs per league (if I recall correctly, def more than 10 though)

Ranked ≠ Officials

"Every one of the team's matches has been sold out."
Already wtf

Keznit in

W if they swap him in, maybe finally not just 2 duelist mains trying to figure out a different role

I'm not familiar with the roles, but maybe they'll put eko on the bench? We'll see how it goes

W if this makes their team better, they were so good in their debut, like a DRX 2.0, very patient and drilled I loved watching them.
If this change makes the team better I think they have a good shot at making Tokyo, def champs

It says secret dropped and they didn't have a sixth man (also mentioned in the article) so no just 6 man

Idk whether they edited the article in the 30 min it's out, but it says in the first paragraph they'll replace Secret. GenG doesn't have a sixth so one of them will be sixth man

he doesn't have a flair so could be not a fan at all

obvious pick
well deserved
but man Shao was crazy good this tourney too

yeah true ig, but no way they do 3 china right

Idk what's up with SEA?
But for Russian, none of the Russian players still live in Russia because of visa issues and the players need to live in Berlin for the regular split

Holy shit imagine

Maybe 5 for each region, no china and winner of masters?

All competitions up until lock in have been in EMEA, other regions can have some too, we've been spoiled already

W

Americas player, but still home crowd yeah

???
he's a pro in csgo, you're not gonna compare val pros with a csgo pro's valorant ranked vods 💀
I'm talking about csgo, not valorant

wait wasn't it reported by multiple outlets during the franchising craze that it was supposed to be 6 NA? was it maybe cleared up later that it always was 5?

I remember the rumours being Leviatan, but either way DEFINITELY one of the South American orgs, not an NA org

Yeah thought so as well, def one of the LATAM/BR teams got the G2 slot

Not to forget that s1mple, even after countless AWP nerfs, is still the best. Consistently

They did say it though, just in a corpo way

and also the multiple viper's pits in OT lmao
well played from furia I was SCREAMING for fnatic to win it

what they cookin?

it changed back to what it was lmao what they cooking

the most factual statement I've read all week

And raze's ult is still broken in the it's-bad way
Shit doesn't kill unless you're shooting the rocket on their nose

Kek
