Both 51
Perfectly balanced

Ayrin is really not worth to sign

Wow, I thought it was either Mibr or Leviatan
That's crazy, NA was fucked even before the incident

It's not as bad as NA

We have 10 teams
NA has 5 teams (should've had 6, but Carlos said no)

We can allow some not-so-good players in our league
NA can't, they literally only have 25 players (assuming that BR and LATAM won't go for NA talent)
NA keeping Shahzam will hurt their scene more than EU keeping mixwell or whoever else

They're both horrible. I didn't say russ is good. But magnum fluked his way into tier1 and that's the only reason KOI picked him up (he has experience from Fnatic). But magnum is not nearly tier1 material. Just see how he aims to realize that. I mean, expected from a Rust player, he probably didn't even touch CS or other fps.

Fitinho isn't even bad lol

And I'm sure mixwell is at least top-50 EMEA player, so he deserves franchise (10 teams, 5 players in each team, 50 total)

I don't understand what this complaint is about

Are you being ironic?
Magnum is notorious for whiffing sprays every now and then
His aiming style is very similar to FNS, if he misses 1st bullet he starts shaking left and right, panicking like crazy

Competitive Valorant players have the best vacations of all people in the world

Funny decision from Riot to give slots to 3 orgs, all of whom have / had PH rosters till now

They fucked over not only Oceania, but Indonesia and Thailand as well

And it would be alright if PH was doing the best among SEA in Valorant. But they're literally worse than both ID and TH, which makes it crazier

Franchising is so cool

This was 8 years ago, wasn't it?

Org listens to twitter and reddit users more than to anyone else
What do you expect

Imagine comparing murder to being misogynistic, what a freak you are

You don't know anything about Carlos, do you?
Guy put his life into esports. He didn't even abuse women, he just WENT TO PARTY with an abuser. It's not nearly the same thing.

Do a hundred of good things - people will forget
Do one bad thing - people will remember

The state of the internet

CSGO killer

Then tell Secret to get Indonesian players too? That way it's fair

That's what happens when franchise hits
Certain regions get less players in the competition than they deserve, because of management decisions to save some money

ID is literally better than PH in every possible way, but they'll have 3-4 players in the league (if Gen.G or T1 don't get some), and PH 6-7

Chernivtsi because it's untouched by rockets

So Shahzam stays? So sad for a young NA talent robbed of franchise because this bot took his spot

No way minimum age is 18 and not 16

Classic Fnatic, another roster change

-Giants +BIG would be excellent

Why same country teams?
Wouldn't it be better if they started mixing nationalities with best players from each countries?

?

Imagine you're a cracked NA tier2 grinder, there's only 25 slots for NA players in the league (5 teams), and one of them is taken by ratzam whom Sentinels decided to keep because of clout. What a backstab. Literally a stolen career of some youngster who is times better than this streamer.

No
An organization which never changes its roster for better players, keeps 30 yo washed boomers who must've retired long time ago, doesn't belong in franchise

Japan is not drowning at all, in fact they got what they deserved and nothing more

People bitching about Japan "not having enough", while Indonesia and Thailand might not get a team at all

All leagues must've had 12 teams

G2 is one of the most popular teams in the world with the best possible content side

Rubbed Riot the wrong way? Surprisingly Riot are the only pussies in the gaming scene who got hurt by Carlos. Why weren't his teams kicked from RLCS circuit, CS Majors, R6 Leagues, whatever? Only Riot are so weak and pathetic to turn down the whole org application because of such small thing

Riot is a clown company, however they're free to do whatever they want.

If they decided to follow the herd of social justice warriors canceling everyone who did just one wrong thing, alright. Losing G2 in the esport is a massive L for them.

What did he do? A video partying with a guy and a bunch of other people? So what?

I don't support Tate nor most things he said, but this cancel culture is getting weird, Carlos didn't even do anything, yet got such massive penalty out of nowhere??? Why did Riot think that small tiny incident is enough to kick the whole team out of Valorant?

They're just following the trend of braindamaged reddit/twitter users, overreacting to anything that slightly opposes modern society ideas

Idk but leftist community made him the next coming of evil, although he's just a regular douche and nothing more than that

Riot are hurting themselves by avoiding G2
Dumbass move from dumbass company

So?

Spirit moved to Belgrade, forced all players to spend more than half a year living / bootcamping in Serbia, and publicly condemned the invasion, their owner is Russian but he's not an oligarch who befriends Putin or anything like that

Gambit and VP didn't condemn shit, their owners are horrible people, not only that but they stayed in Russia. Their brands spread toxicity towards ukrainians, and must be banned from esports all together, it's sad they're allowed to play as "Outsiders" (VP)

Is that not enough lmao

Don't compare Spirit to the other two shits

Optic org must enter NA CS, they will be welcomed with open arms there, as Riot garbage ignored their success

Look at all these Valorant diehard fanboys defending Riot as if they're doing something right

When was it, 8 years ago? I also was wrong in many aspects 8 years ago

Such a shit esport
Imagine not getting Optic
"CSGO killer"

Homophobic?

If he was homophobic he'd never sign players like annja to G2

They won't pick any MENA team to spite Styling

To Hungary*

Was this supposed to be a bait

Wonder why people slept on NRG and almost no one thought about them grabbing a spot
Very popular org
