The joke itself is garbage too

They're not flexing in cash
They're bleeding cash
They won't even make a fraction of what they spend on their clouted roster back

I hope Riot doesn't include them into Americas league

It would be horrific to have a franchised team that only wants to film content and purposely not sign better players from lower tier NA

SEN is a disgrace to NA esport

Massive?
SEN still have no sponsors, they're paying 10-20x times bigger salaries for all the pros and creators, than they earn back in merch

No idea how you managed to jump from SEN topic to some random LoL game

Stopped reading at babysasuke

100%
Suygetsu is strong and a tough loss for the team, but FPX is still much better than any minor region competitor at Copenhagen

You have to watch how they've played at EMEA, it's masterclass

LOUD is overrated, Guild won't have a hard time beating them, especially when those arrive to Copenhagen 2 days before the event

I died at last three words

Might be just me, but I don't think Valorant games with crowds will ever have same atmosphere as CS games with crowds

You can feel it

I can't imagine flying to a different country just to watch 3 games

CSGO Majors / regular events are so much better, because you will see 6-7-8 matches live, with the best tourney organizers in the world
Valarante is a joke in this aspect

What did Asia and South America do in 2021?
I'm not gonna mark EMEA as bad after a single event
Besides, G2 and TL are no longer our reps

People have set such high standard for EMEA that if we perform worse than this standard, they start to shit on us and beg Riot to decrease our slots (3 is already a joke but whatever)

EMEA disrespect on this site is unreal

People writing Secret, Faze, NRG is ridiculous
M3C, Acend would own them all

This is what happens when a region is weak
A winning team gets smug and doesn't want to train as much as they used to, because there's not many who can steal slots from them anyway

The exact cause why big ass VCTs like EMEA and NA will always be better than one-timers like Japan and Latin America

Yea I thought they would just let it go and don't do anything for Valorant roster, because it's pointless anyway

You will be surprised

A lot of players in tier2 EMEA could be easily in tier1 and perform not worse or maybe better than the already known dudes

Skill gap is so ridiculously small...

Guy made an "educating" post and didn't even double check it
Guard? Full Sense? Secret x2? FPX x2?

There's dozens of players in VRLs better than deffo

Yea but mainstream audience loves exactly that, so...

"Most teams"
Only FPX

I'm not talking just about this season, I'm talking in general btw

A lot did complain though, especailly about Brazil's 3
EMEA is underrepresented at every event, but it doesn't get better

EMEA playerbase and international success is 2-3x of BR+LATAM
But they have 4 slots and we 3?

Why did you put NA and EU in the same sentence

Should've done this:
Americas - 7
Asia - 6
EMEA - 3
Fair? I don't think so
It's clear bias towards anyone but EMEA

Death on the Nile, Hercule Poirot's Christmas, Death under the Sun, Murder in Mesopotamia are fire novels too

Valorant fanbase is young and very tolerant towards all these annoying 3rd gender minorities

You won't prove anything to them, they have different vision on this question, completely different

How can this possibly deter competition???

Fnatic 7th-8th -> Guild must place at least 4th, FPX at least 5th-6th
Fnatic 5th-6th -> Guild must place at least 4th, FPX at least 4th
Fnatic 4th -> Guild must place at least 3rd, FPX at least 3rd
Fnatic 3rd -> Guild must place at least 2nd, FPX at least 2nd
Fnatic 1st-2nd -> qualified

Fnatic are basically a lock, because it's hard for me to believe Guild will get to top-4 of the tournament

forZe and Virtus.pro players aren't, for sure

https://liquipedia.net/counterstrike/ESL/Pro_League/Season_15 - 15 RU players attended

https://liquipedia.net/counterstrike/PGL/2022/Antwerp - 20 RU players attended

https://liquipedia.net/counterstrike/Intel_Extreme_Masters/Season_XVII/Cologne - 15 RU players will attend

Somehow sanctions are not the problem for russian csgo teams and organizations, with the help of TOs, to travel to any country of Europe and freely compete😮😮

But Riot can't handle shit

Why did M3C choke 1st map and let FPX through
Why

Lol, only 1 Bo5 match per day, roughly 3-4 hours

Who's gonna pay full ticket price for some fucking 3-4 hours

In other esports you enter the arena at 17-18, and leave at midnight

I'm joking

No idea why we wouldn't afford a PC, our countries are both 3rd world after all

I mean my grandma would probably qualify to every event if she played in Latam

This Jonn guy doesn't frag out on duelists at all, neither did he frag out before
Why wasn't he replaced after Stage 1 for someone better? Why was he signed for this team in the first place?

What is this "^_^"???

Switch back to :>

This Bodork guy writes whatever he wants and 60-80% of his predictions turn out to be false
Don't worry about it

Dude literally said Fancy United, Persija, Global, Griffin would be in franchise at some point, you can't take him seriously

Do you know what "expanding value of a brand" means?

Mfs should just look at CSGO esport, where Spirit, Forze, Outsiders, Entropiq russian players get to any LAN tournament except in USA with no problems whatsoever

It's obvious that Riot is a lazy garbage, there shouldn't be any excuses "russians can't travel"

The joke is pansexuals are attracted to everything
Not really funny but I think it was the point

Funny and original!
Either way, from my experience talking to many homophobic people, all of them were 100% straight. I don't believe this so-called studies has any real reasonable backing whatsoever.

If a guy is hidden gay, he will try to connect with people same as him by sexual orientation, he almost never will try to harm them, because he probably knows what it feels like to be insulted that way.

To me this trashtalk by XSET sounds very fake, childish and compelled

Garbage "studies", it's completely false

I don't like it when trans or nonbinary males try to get advantage in sports/esports by competing against biological girls

But overall I am very sympathetic towards lgbtq, for example in my country full of conservative christians, gays/lesbians literally get offended, abused, ignored, beaten up, if they say or wear something wrong, which is a horrific psychological experience to happen to any person, we're all humans after all

It's not that I support it, it's just that I see how my countrymen react to non-traditional orientation, and it makes me quite sad

It would also be one of the greatest moments in trembolona's life

Fifflaren has a major win, but it doesn't mean he's better than Zywoo or Niko

VK lost to Jhow

You sound like a kid at elementary school who initiates the fight, starts crying when he gets payback, telling on others to a teacher

This Revlo guy creates such braindead provocative threads, then bitches about europeans who leave negative comments under them

The infinite loop of Revlo

You didn't need to be a scout to know about Alfajer, Derke and Enzo
They were known to be very good

It's more like other orgs wasted opportunities to sign them, but Fnatic didn't pass up such skilled material
