damn, might need to start judging then if that works

who is going to be the weird exposed valorant streamer next month

But are they still one of the top teams with Curry. Its a big downgrade

No. How would they, the only points left available are in VCT EMEA qualifier for which the teams are known. And for masters 2, which you cant get in form VRL. Their year is basically over and only reason to play is to qualify for 2023.

Yea… idk if steel is any better

What a downgrade for C9. Surely rhey couldve replaced Xeta wirh someone better then Curry

if they were unpaid they would've signed with a new team by now

LMAO and then he is quiet https://twitter.com/horotoooo/status/1525114951773220864

that match was heart breaking

he deserves a better team then this OG roster (not the &LDN), but a move would be great indeed

As long as it has a good mid

Real names are getting boring. Give me more AsLanM4shadoW

It's a theater crowd. They just come to watch the sport, not to support the team

you have to wait 7 games for the crowd to finally get active?

Asuna, JonahP, Genghsta, jcStani, Dicey would be close

banger match vs all-time Immortals

yea surely its not the 0-10 jett thats more problematic

HUH

what happened to V1 man

Virtuoso away always difficult

healthy only in EU yea

LOUD fan complaining about no underdogs

The Guard is more an example for franchising, then against it. A rich org coming up out of nowhere joining when franchise plans were very close to confirmed. XSET have like Swae Lee backing, so they're not small but only founded not even 2 years ago.

1 match upset is not really what i meant, the chances of them actually making groups are close to 0. Did they do that in 2020 they would've been picked up by an org, so the trend is already massively in favour for big teams.

Isn't it better for smaller teams to have teams in a franchise (ie get more money) so they can sell their players for more. It's not like we see f/a teams go far in this system or get picked up as a 5 stack anyway. That was only part of the early days of the competition.

But it would be nice if there is a way, like EMEA qualifier now where the worst performing team can get dropped & a good performer from lower level can join since the franchise won't be based high on buy in's.

Not enough good danes in valorant yet

Same, he is my favourite player. But since LCQ it's been so inconsistent. And of course thats part of the support flex role, but he used to be carrying GenG

yea contracts for venue are probably signed year in advance

Almost choked Bind up big again

Look at this man, no region comes close

Cant believe im posting this in a match thread against Lenny Time…

If you lose this are you done for the whole year?

ever since they swapped the coach its been downhill

what drugs is thief on today

ZMM with the double upset

optic>>

Yea theyre pretty good in league. But still behind T1, so seeing them less valuable was surprising

Didnt expect Gen G to be so high

better then watching another boring ranked grinder or T2 pro

I remember him from a jcStani stream last year that was so funny, good to see him blow up now

Not even bald we got scammed

0 "upsets"? Havent you followed the last 3 open quals

First good move by OG in valorant. Probably made this decision to lock in franchise spot

bo1 has so much fluke potential with 1 map. But i guess over 18 matches it evens out

oh bo1 thats kinda cringe

18 match days wtf

Org of a big streamer like KOI and Fokus

isnt that what's he is going to do anyway, not like he has a choice

Mid roster, but its French VLR so they probably have a chance to win

Rich dinosaur
