1 Why are ascended teams at a disadvantage
2 I don't see how that's the case
3 Nothing to do with Franchising, how does franchising affect the length of a career. Also mf the game is 4 year old xD
4 Nothing to do with Franchising, you can have open events with shitty formats and franchise events with great formats
5 Nothing to do with Franchising, Riot can add as many tournaments as they like

Again, prime example of my point. You're literally attributing every single problem you can possibly think of about competitive Valorant and assuming it's franchisings fault. When you can have a franchising system that very well doesn't have any of those problems, and an open circuit that does

kamo was very good last year and still is which is why I think they're gonna keep him, they're not gonna find anything better in the tryouts

I'm very aware of what I'm writing. Care to develop 1 disandvenatge of franchising? And I'll try to explain my point

Yeah they both come from Fn and they played together at EP

Me neither, at least Apeks won and they won't be signing just all of Apeks again kekw

Also I truly believe now that Emil is gone Lohan will do a much better job

grubinho was statistically the second best player in EMEA last split

Both have some of the highest budgets out there so they'll be totally fine

And btw I'm like 80% confident NAVI has signed hiro and keeping Shao and Ange1

0. TH

literally impossible to know, but I'd be totally cool with those results

That ain’t very hard is it

Yes, Less and Keznit get along very well

No, not trust me. Heard the same from different people

Saadhack is 90% on KRU

Been following KOI’s off season and as of now the roster seems very close to being finalized. Gathering all of the information we have, this is how sure I am this will be the roster

Sheydos Flex (99% sure)
Grubinho smokes (99% sure)
Minny sentinel (70% sure)
Flyuh Ini IGL (70% sure)
Duelist is the only spot we don’t know much about, but if I had to guess, they will end up keeping kamo

See, thank you, great way to prove my point. You’re mad at who got in, and you think that’s franchising’s fault when it has nothing to do with it. There could very much be a world where OPTC got in

Westside is already confirmed. It's Cloud Purp0 Westside, the duelist seems between xeus/Click and they need a smoker

Ik, but I think it's time to move on from Cned

UCAM CEO just said 1 of those 4 orgs is trying to sign one of his players. UCAM only has Flickless and Quick under contract, and let's be real, ain't nobody trying to sign Quick.

I would also assume it's not FNC or VIT because it doesn't make sense role wise, unless he's reroling. So it's probably TL or NAV

Also very important to know, "trying to sign", probably just means they asked about the clause, so not confirming anything, just thought it's worth knowing since he's not being discussed by the community at all

Destroyed everything pre franchising to start building again, this was the second year give it time

Nah just get xeus and move on

What Franchising actually does is that we have long term rivalries and that instead of having to see your team play, idk V1 or Rise, you see them play 100T and C9. Every problem people usually cite when talking about it can be fixed in a franchising system

They can definitely still pick up Kaajak

I don't, Franchising is great. Y'all just attribute every single problem the format has with Franchising, when in reality it has nothing to do with it. If your problem is Tier 2 for example, there is a thousand ways you can fix it that have nothing to do with Franchising

Internal stuff, but I really liked him

Happy has better offers

Tf does that have to do with anything

He is already making the team, and he’s not gonna make a team he’s not part of. How does that have anything to do with what I think of him or if he’s good

Nope, the coach makes the team. And he’s not gonna make a roster that speaks another language

Because they signed a non French Head Coach?

Click is close to GX

Again, they can’t go French anymore

Too bad he’s the one making the team huh

nah he ain't

There is absolutely no way the agree to speaking English. And if they do, there's better options than those players

doesn't matter, goked is not making a full French team for many reasons, he just isn't

Anonimotum only reports done deals, it's done. Also goked himself has said he is running tryouts rn

They already signed goked as head coach, he is making the team. Goked doesn't speak French and you can't make a team that comms in a language the coach doesn't understand

Have people still not understood they can't go French anymore?

No, it's very common. When you don't know what to do with a player you just make him go though the tryouts again to see if he fits well and if there are other players better than him

KOI is doing it with Kamo, GX with Fitinho and many other teams

He has also been seen with NAVI for example I believe

yeah but he's still part of the tryouts

Nope, that's the only screenshot we have

On a real note. Not on the eyes of Riot, he will always be Americas, but he can change it on vlr is he asks for it

The known Try outs for M8 rn are Izzy Sociable Runner Shin Natank Scream

no, he's Russian bro y'all stole him

https://www.vlr.gg/404168/koi-igl yes

And I believe KOI staff was on his chat too

Um not really but sort of. From Lembo I've heard they're trying to get Oxy

And then I've seen G2 mentioned as one of the teams involved with Derke. So at the very very least I would assume we can infer that they are at least considering other duelists

g2

AK we’re up 10-2 and 9-1 I mean if someone’s almost threw it wasn’t TSM

who said anything about koldamenta, I only know goatdamenta

goatdamenta?

Nah he will still watch party and support TH, they'll be fine
