tier 2 exists and you have some good teams there but then you have pricks like Z10, PERA who just matchfix

betboom is just the shittiest tier 1.5 event ever. you have spirit and mouz and some other tier 2 teams. EPL gets only good at playoffs, the best event in the coming weeks is probably blast final

POLSKA GUROM

Riot have been at the ESports awards hosted by EWC and LoL was at EWC, I am sure they will manage working with esl

But that could easily be avoided with a more structured tier 2 scene. That way being kicked from T1 isn't a fall from grace but rather a step in the other direction

I just don't like the look of it. It literally looks like F1. nepotists stay, real talent has to be perfect from the Get-Go or they get sent away forever.

I just feel like it will turn into a hot seat. Bad in one season? Out and never coming back because your rep is fucked. This is the exact reason tenz left from cs, he had one good shot at proving himself, wasn't good enough, got kicked and then never came back to tier 1

and what if the managements in tier 1 will just ditch them after one season ( not even due to their faults)

but it's only one region. Others are getting fucked

I just feel like vct will inevitably cuck itself out of talent. The biggest failure vct can suffer long term is that the tier 2 talent it has stolen from CS will just migrate back.

I meant just letting blast and esl in. It saves a lot of cash and makes the schedule more solid

context behind the nickname came in more clutch than suygetsu in copenhagen

how can a TO possibly fuck up that bad?

they should probably try going the CS route and outsource events for TOs.

Sacy is NOT 10

I just don't like the structure. This closed circuit is the exact reason most pros left TO valorant, now they have to suffer this shit again. What's the point for M80 valo roster to stick around if they lose ascension for the 3rd year now if they can just transition to CS with an open circuit?

two most experienced players for sen went low tab on abyss

I mean why would they, they are set on franchising, they have got everyone they wanted in, why would they give a shit?

just curious, what does a proven vet give the team?

lower cost, seems as a logical answer

Honestly, I would say fuck kick off and just cross the regions like this

I guess I have a better one?
VCT rivals, EMEA vs Americas, China vs Pacific, two separate events.
All teams from both regions come, making it a 24 pool. Run a first initial swiss system teams ranked 9 to 24 (depending on number of wins, then round difference). 8 teams make it thru to the 8 champions teams (sorted from highest to lowest placed). Run another swiss system with these 16 teams up to 3 wins or 3 losses. Single Elim playoffs, better region gets bragging rights and the right to host the next year's edition

Wait who the fuck is getting replaced

because snax+taz is a subpar igl+coach duo, that's why niko will leave for falcons and monesy will follow as well (maybe even to navi)

twistzz is a better tenz, he plays for liquid

attention span of a baby gorilla, what tiktok does to a mf, let me edit the post to make it easier for people with an attention span like yours

I will just describe most top teams for you, I would honestly say Sentinels are the closest to G2. The content team.
NAVI - Structured team out of tier 2 players led by the best coach in the game, lost the GOAT player and somehow got better.
Vitality - A chaotic team led by the GOAT contender, zywoo, who can get his 4th top 1 this year, flamez and spinx are a great rifling supporting cast and apex is a chad version of boaster
faze - probably the most experienced and successful core out there. karrigan is the goat IGL imo, rain is a 30 year old demon, ropz is the most prominent lurker, broky is also a bit of shithousery, frozen is the newest addition to the team.
spirit - led by the best young prospect out there, with the support of sh1ro (top 3 player of 2022) and otherwise young team. They are inconsistent due to them relying on donk, but the guy broke the single event rating so he is one of a kind for sure
mouz - baby faze (because most of these guys will be in faze in 3 years time), but in fact baby navi, both structured teams out of unproven players who work due to a nice igl+coach combo
g2 - content team, pack huge firepower with niko (goat rifler), m0nesy (2nd s1mple) and malbs (the best NA prospect), but they are inconsistent due to them overrelying on firepower

can confirm, I am a rito developer, you were almost bang on the theory, we also have an agreement with valve where we kill valorant in NA and EMEA to make it a China exclusive game, we gave kangkang a copy of valorant with game deficit, it has no walls.

I think so as well, time to grind that education now

add to that people who don't wash their hands after eating something greasy as well

not me but he ignored our friend and then tried to bullshit us into saying that he didn't see him (they were in the same fucking hallway 2 metres away from each other, with the other guy holding out a hand to greet him.

people you know who do not acknowledge you when you spot each other on the street because they are within a group inside which he wants to ''look cooler''

True Sight/Point of View (what esl do for their event) is goated peak content

also I know that the open slot is reserved for the 12th franchise, but I suggest you use it for FreeAgent List or players who might possibly join

maybe derke just doesn't want to stay there.

I think its hilarious u kids talking about Julia. u wouldnt say this stuff to him at an immo lobby, hes cracked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes. yall are pathetic lol

navi ceo here, we are getting 4 hobos from the street

try vyse, if your win rate dips like crazy, then better hit the aimlab and dm buddy

crazy how we got minused because someone cannot except that he is ass

what is that about them which makes you think they are cheating

do you have a shit win rate on deadlock because you are ass, or is your win rate on the character you main shit because deadlock is ass?

I hope s1mple goes to g2 when niko moves to falcons

russians just need to ask liquidpedia to go non-representative and navi will be ready to go full cis

academy teams and tier 2 orgs compete for the same player pool

dutch pronounciation, german streamer, ukrainian-israeli-marocco roster, american game, chinese major. Peak

I like how he pronounces Valorant.

ohnepixel is dying in 5 minutes from a heart attack, funi moment incoming

Come watch the goat valorant content creator, ohnePixel, cheering for his team in Drillas, they are one series win away from getting into the RMR (Ascension stage for the major)

problem is that academies might create a situation where either you have a salary in the academy or you play for orgless teams. Basically you have like 10 academy slots per Japan, others are left out to dry.

if potter stays you might as well give her full reigns of the roster, have her say on all players in and out. I don't know what she is feeding them, but if she is given the right to choose who she can without major limitations, you have a great project
