well cuz when you win, you are happy and boasting, when you lose, you are sad. Depends on the culture generally. Like brazilians are the loudest to celebrate and absent when losing

dunno, tried reloading the browser?

press M just in case :)

prove it or I 🔪🔪🔪🔪

are you a superior race or something?

average cross regional game

I have nothing against banter, just there is no point in questioning ''why so salty'' ''why so toxic'' cuz it's banter :D

everyone does it, that's what a RIlvary is. it's banter, shit talking, flaming, sometimes even racist. It's just pointless to ask ''why so salty'' that's like asking why brazilians are annoyed any time argentina wins against you in football. because those are rivals who get bragging rights

but then why cry about it? It's not like you lot wrote ''GG WP guys'' before that? NA vs SA is the rivalry which exists for as long as esports got global, nothing bad in it

Bro, 95% of the entire Brazilian population has spent the first 5 minutes after their brazilian team got the slot and the franchising slot spamming KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK to NA fans instead of writing VAMOS to support your 4th team

So you are telling me that only the big orgs who riot didn't get in initially are allowed to keep the slot? Literally what the fuck?

so you just keep targeting and laughing about a person who has nothing to do with the on the server performance so you just do that?

tough life bud, most tier 1 players and orgs are filled with nepotism

which you named ''live footage of the whole na valorant''

I see your logic, but it is flawed for me. When you hate the player, the target of your hate is the player, not anyone around him, maybe his team, but mainly team/player. You do not have the goal of offending the players because you want their relatives to feel like shit. when you attack the relative, then you attack both the player AND his family. That's like calling demon1 an egoistic retard and saying that you wish his gf dies to her illness. Those are two drastically different things

that's why all sports are the game of mental first and foremost

ok yeah that's just mean now :D

I don't support that idea myself, any relocation is retarded, you set the league, you stick there. Can't really have the venue for 2 years and then have all orgs relocate there before pulling a ''my bad G, we are going to the other coast now''

nowhere near dead, but m80 pulling out along with oxygen might fuck the region long term

Miami perhaps? shit is crazy expensive, buuutt the population has plenty of latin americans

where tho? mexico was a disaster class, and anywhere south is just biased towards the other side

well most of those models make it an open circuit. Albeit I would make top teams from tier 2 splits into tier 1 for this said split. Like we have 12 teams, add 4 from the split 1 in the region (can split region wise, can host a small tournament). 16 team stage in tier 1, qualifying to tier 1 events.

zander is out for sureeeee. Signing that sen contract as we type

completely unsustainable for tier 2, there has to be a better system in place

yeah, kinda why franchising sucks imo

why would all 5 waste a year in tier 2 on lower salaries instead of content creation?

True, there is no defence in saying ''oh the pressure got to us''. ''To finish first, first you have to finish''. ''To be ascended, first you need to ascend'' people thought they would ascend, maybe they thought so to, but there were other teams hungrier than them

org just folding the department of valorant

but this is not supposed to be like that. Teams don't fold in NFL after losing two superbowls. Teams don't fold in Football after missing out on promotion twice

bro cucked two groups at the same time, NRG lost to fucking Legacy and missed out on the major rmr, m80 lost an igl and got fucked as well

great tier 2 system, either you are in, or you fold

realistically all of these teams are probably like 4-7 throughout the year

I mean the pressure got to them, that's all I can say.

I mean there is a real possibility they leave the scene, no?

so NA might have possible lost two orgs in the same year? oxygen and m80? which fielded compettitive teams? feels concerning

pcific should have won for the lols

9-10-11 🥶

bros forgout about vct americas results from this year

so now brazilian teams will not finish 9-10-11 and now 9-10-11-12?
Jokes tho, tops on that W, that's actually impressive

he has consistent 2 brain cells, they are perma locked.
She has 3 brain cells, but she goes down to 1 when she is sad or depressed. Therefore, the manipulation is possible from both sides

The internet has two sides. Incels who wish to have a dommy mommy dominating them and wanna be sigmas. Anyone else is off the internet

90 fucking pages, daaaaaaaaaamn.

double elim is only for groups, playoffs are stictly single elim

tbf double elim makes sense if it's just one event, too few events and all of them are too important so they should be more fair

oh yeah, that's dope as well

+1, the fact that you have a 2nd chance reserved only for top 2 makes it a massive boost already

honestly, I would put all the teams in one group, top 1 and 2 go to the upper bracket, top 3 and 4 go to the lower bracket, others are eliminated.
winner of the upper bracket goes straight to the finals, loser of the upper bracket faces off against the winner of the lower bracket

you DID NOT believe in the reverse sweep bro

I really wonder who else makes that list. afaik navi are there, I would guess g2 as well

tbf all NA orgs are somewhat shaky when it comes to finances
