Idk why it's not on VLR but it's about to start

Tell me he IGL's at least....
Hvoya deadly and flabben looked really good that first map, Harsh was decent but master looked a bit lost. Idk who's the IGL tho
They were tier 1 in EMEA a year ago, been gone for the last year. But they have been world class players before (Beaten FPX/ GMB at some point)
I really hope so, but I don't know to what extent is on Riots hands. You can't pretend like 10 orgs are gonna be able to get all their Russian players visas for the Ascension tournament, or that the logistics for an entire league are gonna be fine. I really really hope they can sort it out, CIS is the biggest farm of talent in EMEA without a doubt
So 00 does not wants a player for free and it's KRU's fault for not giving it away just because?
Yeah and I feel the exact same way about GTZ, Kamo is just as cracked as Tomaszy. But kizpawn and starkk are even less ascension material than Fizzy and Addicted. I don't think using DSYRE's success in Germany to judge SAW. German league wasn't one of the top ones either idk
We'll see tho. I'm very excited about the Surfshark starting tomorrow, it'll give us a little hint on what the relative level of Turkey/Spain/Germany is
Saw? Really? I think the turks are ahead but I'm not sure if I would still consider them 4th? Ig I need to watch them a bit more
Haven't watched them but Ik Tomaszy is cracked af, but he is not fulltime rn. Fizzy and Addicted were good players in the Spanish league I have seen both individually quite a lot, but they were def not ascension player material at that moment, idk about now. I know Bati and DaviH but haven't seen them enough to judge
Why would it be good tho? You're basically telling me they do not wanna hire 2 different teams because they do not care enough, like bro get more people tf you mean "if they don't feel like it nobody is gonna work on the game". Don't you see there is something wrong there? Sure they wanna work on it now but what tells you they still will next year?
How does that make it any better? Wtf is that even supposed to mean? You do not tell your employees to work on something if they don’t feel like doing it????? Is that supposed to be a good thing?
Valorant gets new maps every 3 seasons, map changes, new agent every season(can have just as much impact as the smoke thing). Balance changes that change the entire meta. Skins every month.
CS gets all those things once a year and many of them not even
A Valorant season change brings way more content than CS2. Only true advantage is the better engine and servers, which we already have. And that’s not something that engages the players long term
Dude if you don’t tell anyone the changes any person seeing it from the outside without too much knowledge doesn’t even realize there’s a single change other than it looking a bit brighter
Edit: Never mind I missinderstood you thought you meant the opposite lol. I agree xD
Bro they changed the graphics and the smoke, if that was a different game every season we would have another Valorant with the map and agent release
Doesn't matter how easy is the transition if you're not upgrading anything tho
I have, but bro Waddle is not the player you get if you're trying to upgrade an already ascension contender team. Just don't buy it
At least don't if your only replacement is Waddle lol
When your favorite team steals DRX strats, you don't care right? Well same here xD
They were actually top 3 contender for ascension, idk about now
All the ones that switched to Valorant late are most likely to go back in my opinion. If it took them a while is most likely because they weren't sure about leaving in the first place
What’s even crazier is that he has attended 3 international LANs and reached finals the 3 times
What have they announced? Like the server tick rate that was announced already? Maps, a date and shown how it actually looks right?
On watching the games, what about you my friend, do you watch the EMEA VCL's and the Jp one
There you go my friend Raze stats only. Turkey VCL is stronger than Jp yes, but they are not me and my friends playing. He does need to prove himself first but you can't say he is not looking insanely promising
We do know, he is an import. I see this mistake a lot, just like EMEA ≠ EU, Pacific ≠ Asia either. Middle East is just as Asia as Far East Russia and they are part of EMEA, just like far east Russia
Nats Leo and Shao have always been tier 1. But others like Alfajer, Suygetsu, Derke (long time ago), trexx, Twisten and many top players more in EMEA do come from tier 2
Japan is not good at Valorant as a Major region but I would say they are a pretty good VCL. Better than some EMEA leagues (CR is better than Case any day), and def better than 80% of the Pacific VCLs
Alfajer stats on Turkish VCL https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/878/valorant-regional-league-turkey-birlik-stage-1?exclude=9304.9305.9306.9307.9308.9309.9310.9311.9312.9313.9314.9315.9316.9317.9318.9319.9285.9286.9283&min_rounds=0&agent=all
Alfajer stats on VCT right after being picked up https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/984/champions-tour-emea-stage-2-challengers
If something is half as good as Alfajer is a W pickup
"Any tier 1 can do the same" Then why did they not? Show me one tier 1 player with his numbers in tier 2 (Many of them have played there before). Not saying he is gonna be the best in the world or anything, but the argument "anyone can do that" it's just not true
Asia ≠ Pacific league
Saudi Arabia is EMEA for example
But all of that was online right? Only the last Japan playoffs is were he played LAN I think
2 out of TL/KOI/Giants/Vitality will take the last 2 spots. Really hard to say who actually will tho
That would make sense, they need more work one the strategic part than the firepower one
I mean you can't deny he is an import, he literally counts as so that's just how it is. But he is Asian talent that's also true
Botsi never dropped 136 kills and Jp is not India at all
Is the Jp league the worst one in the world? Because I have never seen anyone drop 130 on anyone’s teacher nor a bunch of plumbers in other regions? Maybe he is actually good?
Do we know if it’s Benkai or davai who he is replacing?
Pretty sure he was living in Russia while he competed on the Japanese VCL?
I mean something is technically an import but he did develop on Pacific servers so it’s a different case
