Wdym unless Marved plays for Sen lol who tf do you think he is

Let me correct, they looked like the worst team. I don't actually think they will end up last more like 8th/9th

Yeah ik I'm just playing with him cause he is saying whatever. Koi is literally managed by Rogue, the less clout org ever. Literally have 1 streamer and it's just because he is a caster

There is way too many players to do that

He left LOUD, doesn't seem like he is too worried about this stuff. Plus what other option would he have? MIBR?

You lost me here my friend, are you trying to use having clout as an insult?

Idk about in between splits, I just know it's not possible before the first one

And, if a team qualifies to Champions why would they want to make changes?

EG is not as bad as people think either
(Nothing to do with TH, they still the worst team in EMEA so far)

I don't think there is time to import a player in just one month, it takes a long ass times to get that type of visa/paperwork done

Nope, that's the other twist. Orgs do not own the spots so Riot has reserved for themselves the possibility to swap the partnered teams every 4 years (2026) as they wish. So basically if Riot decides a partnered org is not doing things as they were meant to, they can put another org on their place (If one of the ascended orgs does a really good job on those 2 years they will be the strongest candidates most likely)

This avoids situations like the Astralis one in LOL who just purposely tank year after year placing last just to keep Riot money and sell the spot for a lot of money

Yes, basically this is how it works:

2023: 1 team ascends (11 team league)
2024: 1 team ascends (12 team league)
2025: 2 team ascend, 2023 team is relegated (13 team league)
2026: 2 team ascend, 2024 team is relegated (14 team league)
2027 and on: 2 teams ascend and the 2 teams that ascended 2 years ago (2025) are relegated (14 team league forever)

EG about to farm them so bad

It will be 56 eventually just by adding China, that's more than enough

It's not like NA has many more rn lol

Furia and MIBR did nothing wrong and are far less problematic than Faze and G2 tho

Because there’s not a decent company interested in organizing the league like everywhere else. Viewership is so low that no one wants to do it, so viewership gets even lower, and it’s like a fish hitting it’s tail

How vlr supposed to rank correctly teams who have played 1/2 games?

I mean if no one in Tier 1 offers him anything. G2 is the most likely option. He can’t go to another region and G2 might all in on him to ascend

There is a billion Indians. All esports fans in the world could be Indian and there would still be half of the country left

I’m sure he can flex, I’d kick penny

Where is the EMEA GC

I'm sure Jing can Kayo whenever they need Jett

Regardless of if something joins or not. Forsaken seems to be flexing a lot lately, playing a lot of sentinel

I mean, how many European country don’t hate the French?

It all depends on what advertisement he gives to it. Like most watch he does in Valorant, all the advertisement they get is to be mentioned in the stream the day before if even. That’s why he gets around 100k only (basically average). But every event he actually gives some promo to (Like reaching a LAN or first game against KC) actually gets insane quantities of people

On regular games is not gonna go much over 100k. But against KC? 200k easy, plus Kameto stream and the official one they’re gonna have insane numbers

But the TL nor FNC games are not gonna be the most watched at all.
KOI/ KC/ BBL all have huge streamers to back up their games

KOI has more tho

The KC vs KOI game is gonna be the most watched

13 is kind of an awkward number tho xD

Many of us here

To everyone saying Masters is a major this is not fucking CS move on. Champions is worlds, rest is MSI at most

Add one more tier, Masters/ Lock in can’t be on the same level as a VCT league title

This is a Riot game, not Cs. You compare it to LOL not CS. Champions is worlds, masters it's just a sort of MSI

"I'm sorry because EMEA doesn't give away free qualifications like NA does kekwww"

Acend and Loud only true Major winners. Rest are international winners which is a great achievement, but not a major

He has atended 3 events and got to the finals in all of them

Fun fact: Killjoy has a higher pickrate this Lock in than Chamber did last Champions

Masters and Lock In are not majors tho. Champions is

As long as you don't spam it or is your own channel you are allowed

EG is doing a lot better than C9, they are way more consistent and have an actual plan for franchising.
Plus don’t compare not picking up a player with directly benching him

Alright, but why would they need a duelist? If you did so you would be then be stuck with Scream on flex forever which looks like an awful idea to me

He was better at chamber than reyna

Are this guys not pro? https://www.vlr.gg/170956/sengoku-gaming-vs-igzist-challengers-league-japan-split-1-lr1

It's not just the fraging, Fnc executed on an empty side 95% of the time and Sen was executing on a site with 3/4 people every time. He got outigled sooooooo bad

Sure lol

Kamo, takas, Keiko, Jugi are all better imo and then. Then idk who the best Turkish Jett is but I don't think Ellement is better than Sociable/russz/Izzy/ Woot yk
It is still really hard to rank them tho, just my opinion, didn't even include MiniBoo or Bisk to avoid sounding biased

Roxie can read through his head doesn't matter what hairstyle he has

Dude stop the Sacy IGL cap

Yuri is the best flex player in the world

MiniBoo owns him
