ru/ua talent - all in academies
WEU talent - academies/tier 2 teams
other regions - no transitoning happening.
EMEA is fucked bro :D

they won't come to valorant, there is no reason to transition at this point

at that point it won't fucking matter, no team will be able to win against them

I am getting scared that the FPS which I have just introduced myself to (valorant) is on the verge of having a chinese superteam and CS ( my beloved game) has 9999 fucking chinese teams registered to their major qualifiers, china is spreading like tumour I swear

China nationalism = EDG stays together for 5 years, shits on every single team at every champs, chinese scene catches up and top 4 of every champs is EDG-FPX-Trace-Bilibili

yep, china introduced itself to FPS, valo's done, GG WP boys, CS doesn't have them right now, only mongols

you are not getting that citizenship lil bro :(

losing to china, xd kek, chinese domination is just beginning, it's china's game now

crazy how riot still cannot implement KDA in the fucking HUD for like 4 years now

King James
Chosen One
Slim Ripper

offends all 4 regions in one thread
bitch, do you even like anyone?

kinda sad that despite Ukraine leaving ru scene due to obvious reasons, all of our talent is spread out in different teams.
like a team of kvem, sdy, demqq, npl and r1nkle is a top 5 team in the worldpotential

bet on the highest and realistic odds

source on changes in Sen and lev?

hard to upgrade with CIS buyouts costing a shit ton

they went 0-3 at fucking RMR closed qualifiers, are you on crack?

I think when ranking the management decisions, you always need to quote Jose Mourinho: ''See where they play, how they play, if they play''

that's just poor management, should have pulled out of dota and cs earlier, instead of being scammed into salaries by mid players.
They signed nealan, a tier 3 player, and the negotiations were literally peak autism (his words)
He wanted a salary of 5k dollars, but a friend of his adviced him to ask for a higher salary of 10k dollars.
he asks eg for 10k dollars and they legit go: ''Ok, you want 12k?''

all if's and but's. Just funny to me how retarded EG are as a management.
Potentially develop an era with a great team and perfect comp ❌
Fuck it all up because your org is built on scam ✅

aspas is probably a pain in the ass to comp with. either he just baits and exits you, or you blink in the beginning of the round and you are in a 4v5

like i am the first time viewer and it feels like the game is just irrelevant. it's a fucking top 2 decider game, yet the crowd is just meh.

I would love to see the footage from inside the arena, because the stream doesn't make it any better. Legit feels like a studio event after 2 rounds which ended in 50/50 situations

I refuse to believe that the crowd went full mute when EDG almost won a half buy, changing the momentum of the start of the game. Either the crowd is just fullmute or crowd-related production of riot sucks ass

if your aunt had balls she would be your uncle.

''I never lost to china'' incoming

that's why valorant and cs have such a high viewership, other games are too fucking stupid to capitalize on both valve and riot fucking up

You don't hear comms
You don't see them
It's just their in-game pov

Well CS has sites like faceit where you can just follow the game from player POVs, pure gameplay, maybe valo doesn't have it due to replay system

If they haven't done it before, they won't do it soon I guess. Both CS and Valorant are retarded, CS can't keep the game fresh with constant updates and riot fuck their esports scene.

They won't. Orgs will drop this way. You go franchising, you commit to it. You could make it semi-open with more rankings spots, but then it would split the revenue causing franchising slots to bitch about it

Never understood these people. Maybe it's just me, but I went fucking screaming when Ronaldo bicycle kicked against Juve, I jumped from my seat when Salah curved the ball from 30 metres into top bin, I screamed like a bitch when niko missed the easy hit on s1mple. That's what sports is about. Just turning into fucking golf at this point

I feel like riot just somehow make the entire esports scene just a closed circuit. Less crowd cams, franchising, 3 events per year, 2-4 teams per region.

I don't know why they won't embrace the crowd. CS has regular crowd cams, just like any other sport. Meanwhile riot focus mostly on the game, and you can just host events in studios, same effect

CS moments will always be more hype than valorant as long as riot just block the crowd

Or maybe Madrid and Shanghai were the best Masters in a long while? Saying previous champs was better and that this champs is still ok can coexist

It's rather a matter of calendar issues (previous dates clashes with the beginning of the Major Qualifier)

G2 playing feels like England in Football
Lev vs EDG is just Georgia vs Turkey at Euros.
Fuck tactics. Fuck smart plays. Pure play

Bros see 30 minutes of pre game production and go "yep, riot fell off, game is dying"
Like wait for the event to end ffs

Twistzz better Canadian
Sexier
Dommy Mommy wife
Crisp aim
Goat NA player in the other game ofc
Better trashtalk

Maybe it has to do with the age of the game, but CS feels like more of a sport for me.

Zellsis with snus+aderall turns into LeBron with a mask?

You could argue that people still play CS in those countries, but the only Asian market CS is pursuing is China and now Singapore.

Valve first tried fixing failed maps, understood that these maps are unfixable and just deleted the shit out of them

CS has a massive buff of a workshop, maps like Anubis and Ancient, and Cache have all come from the workshop initially, valve just bought the rights to these maps

They will probably reach a point like siege reached. Siege also had like 8 new agents in a year, massive rate, now they switched to 1 per season afaik

Really bad point about CS imo
Every NA major had a full crowd
IEM Dallas was sold out
IEM Chengdu was sold out
PGL Shanghai will be sold out
IEM Rio and Belo Horizonte was sold out
Blast Lisbon, where CS isn't so developed was sold out.

4 reports = ez

that's just an extension to the OP's suggestion imo, but I do agree that role queue is a bad idea, e.g. overwatch

token system
use token = have preferred role 100% guarantee ( choice out of the four)
how to gain token = go into the game as FLEX(no token required) and fill out the roster as your team comp requires ( you choose last)

sentinels winning champs this year propells them into a debate for the most successful year in valorant, so you can really only come to the conclusion after champs
