Yea big orgs attract more viewers, and leagues with more viewers attract the big orgs. Like Polaris has free agent teams competing even, of course the don't get views

Vitality actually a good shout. But Vitality is French, so VRL France might be important to them if they can't get into the big league

Don't they need a dedicated IGL first, like Vakk is not the greatest player and he wasn't even IGL at Vitality right?

Cant wait to lose again against a non free agent team with a new flex trialist bottom fragging

Too late if they havent

Yes, its me

"It usually happens to coaches with bad internet; that's probably why it never happened to me since I have a good internet" lol

No vookashu.. ☹️

Besides G2, 100T and maybe TSM no one is making profit. Doubt it will be a deciding factor, but they're not getting in anyway

Don't get why all the other Russians are able to go, but FPX Russians can't. Even M3C could go. Didn't Shao and Suygetsu move to Serbia

because what has Stax done to him, he is just a nice guy never bragging

Maybe top 2 in Texas

you're the only one here

Shawn, Lear and Thief all have been underwhelming as initiator/flex. Surely it can't be because 3 players suck individually, maybe geng need to get a different play style

Rentfree

yea competitive experience at that high level should help him give an edge compared to the average ranked grinder wanting to go pro, like with comms and being in a team (assuming he didn't play solos). Don't know if he wants to start out on a t3-level team because streaming pays better

Any thoughts if he could/wants to go pro? Or is he switching too late

Thief again

Optic

That's the same for Guard and V1, and even those teams I wouldn't call lock ins for franchising compared to Optic, 100T, Sen, Cloud9, TSM. And then you already have 5/6 spots, with the others going to SA

explain

you think a 10k follower org gets in before XSET, V1, NRG, Faze type teams?

You're smoking if you think TSM wil not make it, NRG has chance as 6th but that's harder yea. Ghost only had 1 good period in 2 seasons can't really say they are important yet, every VCT round had a team like that. Faze might miss out yea if the org is really financially doing as bad as it seems

The teams you "lose" already make close to nul impact in the current VCT set up. As long as there is a good Tier 2 competition, with VRL's it will be fine.
The times of a free agent team making it in VCT or getting picked up are already long gone and for smaller teams to make impact in VCT there have been almost no examples this season.

Wake up babe, new Haven comp just dropped

Look how much FPX change their comps every match in this VCT s2 alone

https://www.vlr.gg/team/stats/628/funplus-phoenix/?event_id=984&series_id=all&date_start=&date_end=

Every Split (4x), Bind (2x) and Icebox (4x) lineup was different. And others maps also had changes

shao

would Chronicle technically count as a f/a since they can't play under the Gambit name so he could replace Ange1, probably not realistic

he literally said it himself last week, wdym fine

Yes, but might need a substitute for Ange1 situation. The Russians should be fine

so then he was benched and then returned from the bench after training. Thought NOM coach and Kamo him self said they will do what they can to help and look for a therapist

Thought frosty didnt play during that time either =benched

I want babybay on Lan

Angel said they create new stuff every week. He wants them to be able to just practice a new comp/set up twice and be ready

23 first kills wtf

You message your family through snapchat?

young? he is older then most pro players

.

kamo thread literally 2 days ago

💀💀💀

Why is George Guesses defending NA? Fake Brit?

Makes sense, need to be fresh for this week

Why would fpx need 3 subs if a full russian gambit can go to Copenhagen

shout out from Kronikel himself (around 5:00) https://youtu.be/Q-I786ANhwc

The level this week shown in EMEA will take a year before NA shows any signs of that

Redgar on omen might be the best thing to happen since the buff

Best flex in the world for sure

Qualified for master 3 times, with 3 different teams (Acend, G2 and now Guild). Thats pretty impressive

Bdawg

must be the 3Head accent
