bro why do they do it like that seems so unnessary no?

how tf does that work

im 17 doing plumbing would rather keep my money

surely it shows you how many bets have been placed and most people put BBL

People have betted more on BBL Esports beating DRX.

BBL- 3.50

DRX-1.25

Thats actually crazy.

sorry for wasting your guys time i now know im wrong

What teams do you support for Franchising and Ascension.

Americas:

Franchised: Sentinels, Leviatan and FURIA

Ascension: The Guard, Vivo Keyd and FUSION

Pacific:

Franchised: DRX, Talon Esports, Paper Rex

Ascension: BLEED, BOOM Esports and Made in Thailand

EMEA:

Franchised: Team LIquid, Team VItality and KOI

Ascension: Parla Esports, Apeks and HEET

MENA:

Ascension: Team Falcons/Geekay Esports

Overall skill level of NA VCL can be compared to VCC 2021. Maybe G2 edges out Prime GE SkRossi, but overall VELOCITY gaming>> NA VCL teams.

pretty sure i got banned or reported

Title speaks facts

Could you make a version for Opera GX

Indeed

There's a high chance that PRL or SUP wins ascension

Backoxy is my favourite by far but I also do love Babysasuke

i think Acend will breeze through East Surge but i think they'll struggle in Ascension

i got most of my money on PRL or APEK

i can understand why

Thx for reminding me ill change it now sorry

So far they seem to be storung asf and could beat Franchised teams with enough time.

Their roster consists of 3 ex-FNATIC players, 1 ex-Giants Gaming player and 1 T2 player

MAGNUM
Enzo
Mistic
ShadoW
Keiko

Tf you mean I've been doing this for a while cuh :skull:

does that even exist?

Whats your guys opinions on Team Secret. Personally i think they were a pretty decent APAC team in 2022 and have a high possibility of doing really well in the Pacific League with their current roster.

Back in 2021 Team Secret was always a top team in Pacific and qualified for Champions 2021 through Circuit Points and was put into the group, stage with Gamit Esports, Team Vikings and Crazy Raccoons. They lost their opening match to Gambit and quickly swept through, the lowers against Team Vikings and Crazy Raccoons allowing them a spot in Playoffs but sadly losing to Acend in the Quarterfinals.

After their run through Champions 2021, Team Secrets popularity was high and they were a favourite to win APAC challengers and go to Reykjavik, but sadly came 3rd place and didn't make it to Masters 1 and then for the rest of the year didn't qualify for any other LANs and bombing out of LCQ in 4th place.

Their roster during Champions 2021:

DubsteP
Witz
dispenser
BORKUM
JessieVash

Their roster during LCQ:

DubsteP
Witz
BORKUM
dispenser
JessieVash
Jremy

After Franchising was announced Team Secret dropped dispenser and Witz from their team and signed 2 new players, invy from Oasis Gaming and lenne from BLEED.

their Franchised roster is:

JessieVash
invy
lenne
DubsteP
BORKUM
Jremy

Can't wait to see this team perform on a LAN stage again.

Ez win

I mean I'm a LEV fan so I'm hoping they dominate but I still don't want KRU to be a one trick wonder

why do i feel like your saying the truth

based

What's your guys opinions on KRU Esports. Personally i think they have a really good shot at making a decent impact this year in VCT unlike what happened in 2022 and could possibly return to their Champions 2021 era.

KRU Esports was always the best team in LATAM but never really did well in any LANs until Champions 2021, in which they made it to Playoffs by beating Sentinels in the Decider match. Then going into 2022 seeing that KRU Esports stomped the competition in LATAM and, beating OpTic Gaming in the Opening match of Reykjavik but quickly lost to Team Liquid and then lost to OpTic Gaming in the Decider, then throughout the year didn't make it out of any group stages and quickly lost their title of best team in LATAM to Leviatan.

Their roster throught the 2 years was:

KeznitdeuS
Mazino
NagZ
Klaus
delz1k

After Franchising was announced Mazino and KeznitdeuS left KRU Esports to join Leviatan's new roster, and dropped delz1k from the team leaving only 2 OG members still on the roster who are NagZ and Klaus but quickly found replacements in xand from Ninjas In Pyjamas, Melser from Leviatan, DaveeyS from E-Xolos LAZER and axeddy who was originally on ODDIK then became a F/A.

Their roster is:

NagZ
Klaus
xand
Melser
DaveeyS
axeddy

Can't wait to see how this team performs this year.

I would say they are good enough to win against FPX but not good enough for LOUD

I have a most likely feeling they'll win against FunPlus Phoenix but then lose to LOUD in the next match

Overrated barely anyone in VLR supports them lol

Well to be fair it's a big tournament with alot on the line

i think theyll do good against them definetely a underdog in Challengers

didn't even read lol

Whats your guys opinions on Oxygen Esports. Personally i think they are a really good team that is very capable of making it to franchising with the current roster they have.

Originally Oxygen Esports was a EMEA team that was centered in Turkey and had a, full Turkish roster and did pretty well in most VCT EMEA Challengers. Mainly getting to Playoffs for most of the time but never really succeeded in getting to any LANs throughout the year and i think this is the reason why Oxygen left EMEA to go to NA.

Their EMEA roster was:

XiSTOU
Toronto
m1tez
Unity
glovee

Also during his time Oxygen Esports did have a Americas team that was named Oxygen Academy, that did really well in the T2 scene but struggled to go any further and normally bombing out of Challengers Open Qualifiers but did start to make a rise again at the end of 2022, and this may have led to Oxygen promoting their academy team to the main team.

Their Academy roster was:

Reduxx
Welshy
Verno
Rustun
Virtyy

When Oxygen made their academy team their main roster they dropped nearly every player on the roster apart from Verno, and put Reduxx as a sub cause of his young age and signed 4 new players that we are very familiar with in the T2 scene of valorant and can possibly, be very good in T1 play and with this roster they were able to qualify for the NA Challengers Split 1 which is already a big achievement.

Their roster is:

mitch
skuba
pwny
randyySAVAGE
Verno
Reduxx(sub)

Can't wait to see this team play in Challengers.

I mean I have SEN winning over FUR but my pickems can be seen as bias cuz, i put LEV over NAVI seeing that i support both LEV and SEN but i would say my the other 2 are based which are NRG and DRX.

i mean there a good team but compared to others they seem so underwhelming apart from yay and Zellsis but Xeppaa may be able to catch up

i dont think C9 will perform well this tourmey their roster seems so underwhelming to me

this is my pickem

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/050c2c0e

True let's see how much they improve

What's your guys opinion on DetonatioN FocusMe. Personally i didn't even tho this team existed until Franchising was announced and they got through and looking back at past games they were a decent team in Japan but always fell short to other big names in the Japan scene.

Their roster before franchising was:

Suggest
barce
SSeeS
HSK
Pepper

After they were announced for Franchising they quickly picked up in my opinion some pretty good players that have either be crazy in their own region or have attended VCT LAN events.

Their Franchised roster is:

Reita
xnfri
Anthem
Seoldam
takej
Suggest

Can't wait to see how this team plays in Kickoff.

seeing there trying to make a big roster

THIS MAN IS FUCKING INSANE, HE NEEDS TO GET PICKED UP BY EG.

Glad to know your liking new Acend

Idk Ive never gotten banned so

Are you guys liking the new roster Acend has made if you haven't seen their roster is:

ALIVE
musashi
baddyG
Br0die
MONSTEERR
B3ASTM0D3

I would say there good enough to win VCL East Surge but they won't do good in the Ascension tournament or Franchised league until probably next year most of these players need a little bit more time and work.

ye FURIA is looking really strong this year

he's pretty good but i wouldn't say he's the best just yet
