Despite you doing tricks on TenZ's shaft, doing it sideways, going bareback, on all fours, handcuffs, he doesn't know who you are bro

So then a team which lost the upper bracket final
Won the lower Bracket final and then went to champs final has to potentially play 15 maps in 3 days?

Remember how the entire English Fanbase was cheering on the Three Lions at the Euros in 2021? And then when they fell on the final hurdle some individuals started shit talking the team?
Pretty much the same logic

First is a newbie - new to the game
Second is a rookie - new to the sport

You have to put blade for navi in cs as well, as cracked as he is jacked

probably no, all the teams in valorant right now exist for franchising, if it suddenly got removed, then some orgs would drop for sure

1st point China has plenty of money to spend on esports, there is a reason any game developer wastes so much time and effort making their game more appealing to the chinese market
2nd VCT China has probably the best infrastructure in place, and chinese orgs will be willing to spend money for sure
3rd despite the game being a momentum game, no matter what meta or playstyle is currently on top, having a great team cohesion with a built out staff will withhold 95% problems a team can possibly face

take a look at other sports
reason why USA dominates basketball - more players = more talent = higher average skill of that region = domination
reason why EU good at football - same thing
reason why EU good at CS - same thing
same goes for any sport, grappling, tennis, table tennis or chess.
Now, the thing with China is that unlike the US, where the leagues are more individualistic, chinese atheletes are usually more humble, making it PERFECT for China to dominate sports for years due to its massive population.
with EDG already being the biggest spender in china, they will likely retain the roster no matter what, allowing them to get an ever better cohesion, even more time together and dominating even more. Which region will catch up to EDG first? China, because it scrims, praccs and competes with them on regular basis, then comes apac, and emea and americas only get them at international LANs.
teams like Trace and FPX, while practicing with EDg will only get better, rising their level as well. Now what happens if chinese teams dominate valorant?
Chinese generally start playing more valorant, giving it an even bigger talentpool.
for every huge talent americas will produce, china might have 5 of them due to how young and intergrated to the internet their society is

do you understand that chinese playerbase quadruplicating will just fuck vct in the long term, right?

kinda the reason why I don't play valorant, in cs it's more about ''well yeah fuck I did screw up the pattern and my strafes weren't precise''

I come from CS and I really like the quote from Zeus, one of the GOAT IGLs in CS ''You can have perfect comms, perfect strats, perfect timings,perfect team structure and preparation, yet if it so happens that you die from the first bullet, all of that was for nothing and there is nothing you can do after the fact''

any rng gets countered by a better structure. rng was pretty much the only thing keeping leviatan alive yesterday.

except you will still get the drop in numbers, all china final will have huge views within china, but the twitch views might plummet, legit might not even get 500k

5-1 and 6-2 isn't really hefty, it's a matter of won pistol + thrifties and then like 1-2 buy rounds

china v china = 99% chinese viewership = 99% chinese popularity = other regions are dead

I think the region is as strong as its strongest representative, just the fact praccs will happen only cn vs cn, maybe cn vs apac will just lead to the meta developing there and due to EDG probably having the perfect comp rn amongst chinese player, and EDG having the money to hold onto them, I feel like they can legit dominate

bro skadoodle was one of the best players in the first major final I have ever seen man :(

why do you think it's hard for one region to dominate? I think it would be really easy for a team like EDG to dominate, there will be no better offers from other orgs, unlike in americas or emea, so they can stick around together as long as they want to

5d chess trying to clense the platform, nice try

at least they don't have the history of spitting on players ( i know it wasn't at valorant, but the fact that the same exact region produced the crowd which spat on enemies is just concenring)

this is fucking common sense, you have 2 low tabbers who sharted the bed, they are a bigger issue

why would you think I am a sentinels fan?

''FUCK TENZ''
your vibes guy went 1-14 and brazilian veteran can't jiggle peek, maybe start there?

all I am saying is that no team will possibly win a map where 3/5 players go AFK and just don't show up individually. not fnatic, not eg, not loud, not gambit, it's just an insane handicap to overcome where 3 elements of your team play at like 10% of their skill

this might sound schizo and retarded, but this edg roster will not leave anywhere, they are under contract in probably one of the richest orgs in china where their owner will probably give them houses if they win. NA and EMEA always have contract renewals, where players get swayed by new contracts with a salary rise.

there will be no new CIS talents, and there wouldn't be. literally valorant was like 6th in popularity in CIS,
1st CS
2nd Dota
3rd pubg
4th brawl stars (kids)
5th Standoff ( kids)
6th valorant

Reach better results with the roster than anyone expected- True
Still have questions about some parts of the roster - True
These statements aren't contradictory

you probably would not, you would need CS to die for eastern europe to switch

other 41 teams: ''Nah, I will resign useless bums and keep giving chances to washed nepobabies instead of tier 2 talent''

You don't get flukes in double elim idiot

Apocalypse scenario somewhere in your head? Back in 2020 someone said "the game shall live and prosper, but the day you get Emea vs China final, the game will succumb to injuries as dreadful as that of overwatch"?

Was it really the best sacy and zellsis could do?

honestly not his fault 3/5 teammates decided to just not enable the monitors on last map

''LOS NINOS'' that team is literally more turkish and lithuanian than spanish lil bro

Sacy not finding a kill in that situation against a low hp dude is actually impressive

nah don't laugh at him, he tried to carry for 3 people, was the reason this round was that close

''I won Champs in 2022'
''Sure thing, 'Pa, your bingo session with Boaster, Ange1 and Scream is in room 5''

I think it evolved from I hecking love Tarik BatChest

heretics with spanish - 5-6th at LCQ
heretics without spanish - top 4, probably top 3 champs
keep paying them salary lil bro

I swear he is a paid actor, like in Truman Show, along with sacy. Now zekken and tenz think they are a team, but in fact it's just them, the other 3 + coach are paid actors

paid actor

that zekken issue will hang in the same hall of fails as steel's awp in behind back during ibuypower days

stands up
losses to pistol
he will never learn

and how would you do this? Where? Eastern europe is the biggest playerbase there due to the nature and climate in that part of Europe. here CS and Dota are literally rivaling Football for most popular sport. EMEA isn't inviting players from tier 1-2-3 CS. Players like s1mple, m0nesy, donk are already as popular as footballers, this is literally impossible to sway that part into liking valorant

+1, eastern europe will NOT give a shit about valorant, CS is ingrained here, same as dota.

probably will remain so, I think it's only growing
Eastern Europe just gives 0 fucks about valorant, litearlly full ignore

life is tough get a helmet :)

obv he is not the only one responsible for this, when the team losses like this you can't pin it on the single person, but I feel like most of the calls rely on them winning tough fights

my bad, too offensive, but most of the time they just get countered by utility and then they cannot respond, sen seems to have really easy fights all the time

I am pretty sure you fucked up the sign lil bro
