I think we're just gonna see Raze pick rate grow a lot and probably chamber, the other duelists a little bit but not as much as those 2

No no, rooting for Eg this match

Yes, but they also had 2 map bans last time they were in finals and they choked them. Let’s pray it doesn’t happen again, just keep in mind it’s not done

It doesn’t seem like they have yet, I’m not sure how it is gonna turn out. We’ll see but they definitely need someone to direct all the rookies they are gonna sign, it’s not that bad of a plan

Idk how it’s gonna work

It’s more likely that I sign for TH than Zeek coming back

Don’t take it as confirmed yet, but it is likely

Well if we get called one team región I would like to remember that LOUD is the only ever Br team to make playoffs

Rumor says one of the players TH has almost signed for next year is Woot to play alongside Benjy. I’ve been knowing about him since his FF Young times, I’m just glad he is finally getting an opportunity

And as of TH, I believe they are taking a 180 degree turn on their approach to franchising, instead of tier 1 leftovers this year they are going for young talent. It’s not clear yet if Mixwell is staying or not, but I believe everyone else is pretty much out. Woot and Benjy the most likely 2 players for now

KOI vs TH grand finals you read it here first

The rule is different for VCLs. VCLs allow 2 imports, 1 more than VCT. No, Jemkin is not Japanese, Yoshii is who is Japanese, which means the team has 3 Japanese and 2 Russians, but that is only for regional leagues

LFGG

You can tell is his first event, mf is shaking, you can tell in the comm videos too, he is really nervous

they just have such a great vibe, fun play style, and an amazing narrative

And cause PRX is the most friendly team to root for

Won both pistols and both bonus...

3 clutches already

At least in Spain we have a rule that says any player that has played here for 2 splits becomes a national player. So Vokashu, B1sk and Insider are regional. KPI has benched all their spanish players so they could actually make a 5 Russian roster

I remember screaming at this game

He will get tryout idk if he will make it, has a ver decent chance to make an ascending roster tho, look at the edit

Yes, do, this mf is freaking good. If CIS VCL wasn't cancelled more people would know him, so sad that KPI has to split up

And carful with KPI this season. Bisk and Insider count as national players so they just need 1 spanish guy and they can sign 2 more cracked Russians

Tbh something does not fit the EMEA playstyle, he would have to change a lot

Nerfing everything is a buff to none nerfed agents tbh

No but with Jett Nerf yay could be back strong

Tbh having a month in between splits and making the season end a month later is a W for everyone

Killjoy is still the most played agent by a margin, I wouldn't be so sure

Not really actually https://www.vlr.gg/event/agents/1657/valorant-champions-2023

Now it is actually gone wtf is that

Imo the problem is that raze is not nerfed. If Raze was nerfed I think it would have been fine, basically instead of buffing the 3 duelists that don't work they nerfed the 2 that do. The problem is that now we are only gonna see Raze

Idk I feel like a lot of people plays video games too probably more casual? Idk I have no clue tbh

Is not a population thing, it's culture. EMEA all together has a similar population than China and we do not pull a million viewers I can tell you that

"Why is China the only country with their own VCT"

Yes that’s exactly what it means. In 26 they will be back to tier 2. And no they can’t retain their slot unless Riot decides to swap them for an already franchised team, but that can only happen every 4 years so 2027.

Guard is a bit fucked, but everyone ascending after that will have a timing that will match the swap window, if they actually deserve it more they can stay

Grande JuanPi coño

Chill out lil bro. China is not APAC, they have their own VCT now. So yes, having a Chinese in your team is as much of an import as having an Americas or an EMEA player.

Stop with the Asia ≠ APAC, it's just not how it works, Saudi Arabia is also Asia but it's part of EMEA

It's a little bit confusing but no, in VCL 2 imports are allowed, but once you get to VCT, only 1 import is allowed

I think it's more likely that EDG buys PRX as an org than PRX buys KangKang as a player.

Also that's an import, only 1 import allowed

There is, it's called VCL. But a VCT is not a VCL so we can't have 27 VCT. Again, if you get a VCT why tf does SEA not deserve one, why are you superior to them

I mean according to Liquidpedia none are remotely as big as Clash Royale, I'm clueless xD

NOVA Esports so they can get that Clash Royale clout

1 Re read the first paragraph again, favor how?

2 This is not a competition between unfavored regions. I'm saying the world does not hate Brazil like some of you wanna put it because there is a thousand other regions in the same situation, it just feels like sometimes some of you guys have to put it like if it was y'all against the world. For fuck sake the guy in this thread does not even mention their fucking neighbors LATAM. I do not know what the ping Indonesia/Seoul is but no, you guys do not have more rights than them, it is just what it is

2 years is a long time to comeback, many things can change, we'll see

And there it is the victim mentality again. So you want the league to be hosted in Brazil? What is the advantage of that? Instead of messing up Br they mess up NA? Wow what a great plan. And no do not say 1 split on each region, just don't

And now you also attack other regions? if it happens to Br is a national offense but if it is the Indonesians that can't pracc fuck them because they haven't won champs? Ok buddy

Nah China has more people than Europe plus they actually play the game, they deserve it imo.

And yes it will coming back, it is just not logistically possible as of now. But if you look at the format of tier 2 you can tell it's meant to have 10 leagues and not 9, it doesn't work that well with 9

Yes, only 1 import is allowed per each VCT team. Unfortunately Riot does count something as an import, so PRX can only sign people from APAC. No China, EMEA or Americas

Let's hope it is back asap, but it's not looking good

It is only gonna be 2 teams from each region so it's more than likely

If an Spanish/LATAM team makes it the stadium is falling off, I doubt it tho xD

No no I have no idea that's why I'm asking. I mean that makes sense but it is kinda fucked up that a team can do it really well at the start of the year and then completely fall off and still make it

4 regions 4 slots, 16, makes sense Ig, no more extra slot anymore

"Even with all the effort to destroy Brazil" Dude wtf are you saying xD

Brazil was one of the first countries to get an event once they started to do em outside of Europe after all the Covid stuff. And Stop playing the victim, it's literally the same for LATAM people, India people, Thai people, Oce people, etc, but worse because they don't have 3 slots

Is stage 3 like an LCQ? Is there no LCQ? Or is there an LCQ just not listed here
