Third is probably something like Sweden and then Finland, Lithuania, UK or maybe Poland. I'd say those are equal or above Spain and France

Fuck yeah thank god

Jing is allowed to be a otp Raze because he is extremely good at it but there us no one who can replace him and justify playing like he does. Something plays raze, sign someone on another role

I think no one can replace Jingg, and that is why you do not try to replace him. It's time to not be forced to play double duelist on all maps. You can tell sometimes they don't want to, like in Fracture so they are forced to do other stuff.

I would sign someone on another role, if he can play raze great but if not just let something do it and on the maps you want double duelist you still have forsaken

Jemkin and Kristal cracked
Bisk is a beast

All 3 better than wippie purpo and deffo

Chronicle
Derke
Nats
Suygetsu
Shao
Something
Demon1
Cloud
Trexx
Sheydos
Jemkin
Bisk
Deffo
Purpo
Wippie

Unrated: Vici because haven’t played in too long (but prob between Jemkin and bisk), and the 2 IGL’s because can’t judge without comms and the value of IGL’s depends a lot on the team/region etc. Hard to replace role

HM: Vokashu, this guy was not picked up fro franchising last year because of his high release clause but dude is cracked af, even if he has had a rough year

Nope, not saying people won't leave, but deep down the game is the same game. Way bigger than OW2 but the same dynamic

I'm taking china and APAC over Americas any day and I expect you to do the same, that's how it works

Nah BLG just realized mid map that they needed to lose to eliminate EG themselves

The rivalry is with NA, Latam and Br are cool

He getting diffed by Haodong

On international maybe. In VCT in general no

PRX comms are the best

Ok.

Not really because EMEA had 5. The guys complaining about slots is mostly Americas

1 Eu and 0 NA fortunately

If they both win today they actually have the most teams in the upper bracket

I don't buy him as Jett, he is fine of sentinel

Also let’s wait because if I’m NAVI or TL I’m making changes and not precisely just 1. And if that happens, they either swap players which would be kinda weird or Giants/ KOI/ VIT/ TH have to pick up the pieces and idk about you but I feel like KOI and VIT would be the first options right? Giants maybe, TH I doubt

Nah but then there are better options than Tag if we are adding all other roles. Plus again, there is a maximum of rookies you should take

Yes, Unfake is one of the options I really like for upcoming IGL, that mf is cracked af. And yeah probably Lowel has good experience and is a solid option not to make it 5 rookies. It’s a big bet tho

You keeping Wolfen as a sentinel tho right? He can’t be the Jett, he is decent don’t get me wrong, but it is limiting yourself, his ceiling is not high enough to win it all

Benjy is staying tho

Yes but lowel does not IGL, Unfake is TQ IGL, we need an IGL.

As for Sheydos, I think without starxo sheydos wouldn't clash with Trexx so much. I think both work perfectly fine

Tbh I think Kolda is staying, just cause to what extent is it worth for KOI to get rid of Kolda and put someone else? Who? Does KOI win anything having Bonecold instead? Yes maybe Enzo but 1, he is gonna be hard to get, 2 I'm not completely sure KOI would sign a French. Ik it sounds weird but the rivalry is so big they would get a shit tone of hate if they replace Kolda with Enzo.

As of the others I would say starxo is probably out, and I wanna cope and think they keep both trexx and sheydos, (that's what I would do), so that does leave Wolfen out

Well great then cause I wanna claim him xD

Oh 95% they are not keeping him. Quote from KOI owner is "heavy changes". I think that means 3 changes or more, but minimum of 2

Yes but I think he has been off role all season. That's why I ask here, would he be an option for this roster? To what point Tag, Monster and the other upcoming tier 2 sentinels are better than Wolfen on Killjoy Cypher?

That's good to know. But it's not a subjective opinion, it's a geographical matter. But that being said it is good to know

Fair but his regular season was pretty decent. Anyway you might think I'm drunk but what do you think of a Wolfen?

I would rather Monster come back tbh if we're gonna bench nukkye

Well that's something you gotta ask him. He is factually Asian (Anything passed the Urals is Asia)

What's the difference between Jemkin and Kristal

Yes and no we can still claim him as a talent. That's like if I say Argentinan's can't claim Messi because he was mainly formed in Spain. That's just not how it works

Exactly. Americas does kinda equal to Americas, but EMEA ≠ EU, and APAC ≠ Asia

I think the problem is the Russian war tbh. If that wasn't an issue I would suggest that the Russian VCL does the same than the MENA one with 2 different conferences and all of those problems would be pretty much fixed

Then what are we arguing about, we agree, he is an APAC talent but an EMEA player

Why does PRX CEO claim it then https://twitter.com/nikhathi/status/1638512166063177731?s=46&t=Ktss9BR_J0-IBa79hzZ4iA

No it's a very different case. Something is not a player who has moved to another region. it's just that Far East Russia is very complex area. #12 is the actual explanation if you wanna read it. Riot does probably need to fix it somehow but as of now he is an import

Yeah I saw that at Masters Tokyo when he got onto the stage xD

Wtf does that have to do. Something has his countries ethnicity

Does not work like that, maybe should, but it doesn't.
PRX CEO: https://twitter.com/nikhathi/status/1638512166063177731?s=46&t=Ktss9BR_J0-IBa79hzZ4iA

It's really simple actually

Objective take here: He is 100% Asian, that is where he is from geographically. He has grown playing on APAC servers and has been formed there which makes him an APAC talent.

That being said, being asiatic ≠ being from APAC, there are plenty of parts of Asia that are not included in APAC such as the Middle East, China, or indeed, Far East Russia. In eyes of Riot he is an EMEA player, and here in the confirmation by the PRX CEO if people still wanna argue that https://twitter.com/nikhathi/status/1638512166063177731?s=46&t=Ktss9BR_J0-IBa79hzZ4iA

Conclusion: Geographically from the Asian part that belongs to EMEA, therefore, APAC talent but EMEA player.

Ik exactly what I'm saying. APAC as a region in valorant does not include all of Asia. Think with your head, Saudi Arabia is literally an EMEA country with it's own VCL, even most of Turkey is in Asia

So does Kang Kang and he is not an APAC player. APAC ≠ Asia

Yeah you're right he did, he was an import there too

He does not have a passport. He couldn't even attend Tokyo tf you mean. Literally PRX CEO said he was an import. PRX would not be able to sign Kr1stal nor Jemkin for example cause they already have an import

British only please

What misinformation? You can tell that to Riot he's officially an import

Ardiis tried to carry NRG but he couldn't

No IGL Reyna Raze Viper Harbor easy win xD
