Thanks for the idea. About to lock viper with a judge and ruin your tdm experience

Bro tried to sneak in Asuna and monyet

China having a league is probably not related to talent it's due to player base, sponsorship opportunities and potential growth. As well an all Chinese league is easier to manage/find sponsorship for than incorporating Chinese orgs into Pacific for example

If playing in a league that qualifies the best team to franchising and your not the best team why would someone pay you to not qualify them into franchising

Tier 2 players don't bring enough value to an organisation to justify signing them. Not every tier 2 team deserves a paycheck

If you revert to the old format you kill tier 1 and 2 at the same time because it's not sustainable. Especially without the bags of venture capital that kept it afloat

Let's get the vlr community ideas board on how to fix tier 2.

Is it even worth it?
Is their better options than a traditional tier 2 system?
Is there opportunities for the players in tier 2 to better lack of sustainability?

I want either hot takes or logically thought out answers, no in between

Is it a fluke if they did it twice?

If it's in a burger bun it's a burger if it's in bread it's a sandwich. Simples

Just a quick heads up for some of the more 'passionate' vlr users

Surely since there's no Valorant to watch y'all go outside and meet some people instead of down bad horny posting on vlr...

Nah the choice for English comms was very early into the off season when they looked to sign xccurate

Sounds pretty reasonable an assumption. Given the roles are pretty similar. Age cutoff is still 18 for VCT and that would be a few weeks + lock-in before wo0t can play

Bro failed the duo lingo test unfortunately

Yeah my b it was like 3 am I meant xeta

Well on the bright side they can't keep rotating zest in and out now. Every cloud has a silver lining....

You could really run train through ascension with a roster of like
RB
Zest
King
Izu
All the leftover Pacific players.

Well that was unexpected, doesn't bode well for things in the drx camp though

EZ, get Chinese billionaire to pay for citizenship of an Aus super team to a random African or South American countries. I hear some of the Caribbean ones can be bought for a big enough donation. Send the boys to EMEA or NA to role the T2 scene on low ping.

Sign gunba as the head coach (bro will scout the best talent then abuse the players until they become world champions)

OCE on top the 2026 or your money lost guaranteed

Plz riot, bring the drop bears to franchising

You just gotta pick a dream and live by it. Sometimes you strike gold.

Is the prize pool for the event enough that they play jingg when they think they need him to win. Is it just for certain maps e.g. they played him both times they played sunset and haven. Will he be out for breeze if the T1 map goes to 3?

Bigger question though, why? Why play him when your going to be playing the VCT season with monyet?

Idk I think tba might keep them on their toes all season, tba will probably fall off a bit after they win Madrid

Don't worry if they cop an L the Brazilian Sen fans will just riot that pancada playing will solve every problem

That or something is going seriously wrong

Think it pulled the old Overwatch player when it looked up forsaken

Update, did some fact checking that someone was autumn so probs a reasonably reliable source

Someone said it was carpe

Owl is gone, but eSports isn't officially dead, with the game being stable and experiencing growth again there's a chance another eSports system will open up (maybe something open, maybe something like the old VCT model). Either way with the middle east opening up as a huge market with a lot of cash behind it (look up the saudi e-league prize pools) most players are still sticking around instead of such a hard transition to a new game.

Granted there were rumours Billi Billi might look to try their star DPS duo from spark on their academy team.

An injection of top Chinese and Korean fps players would breath some new life into the scene. Granted I don't know about wash. APAC kinda has a macro issue more than a skill issue.

I mean in terms communication pretty sure Izu and King are the only 2 that aren't super capable English speakers so you could see them on the bench while they're adjusting to the roster.

Granted I still think autumn could be trolling on the rossy and xccurate both starting

These were show matches, where's my ange1 yoru where is my Keith iso. What happened to Navi why they trying to win in off season like NA teams. It's dfm show us the deadlock pocket pick

What engine oil you running, mines 5w-30

I respect the hustle but the Sen fans be coming

And for a second I thought someone was curious about getting a new swag for when they go camping

Really depends on if you get real drx or foxy and flashback

No one deserves a starting spot. A starting spot, if the team works better with Zelsis bench Pancada.

OCE really got the based team names. NA could never

Pretty legit. Solid for tipping water into on a hot day to keep your head cool. Give proper sun protection for your ears.

Why everyone talking like hats are just a style thing. Skin cancer sucks slap on a hat (caps don't count....)

I mean Braveaf's run with fnatic is very much a what if story. They dominated challengers groups with him qualified to Iceland then couldn't get him a visa to play Iceland and had to drop him because they couldn't legally pay him. Either way the way boaster transitioned the teams style and his own role to incorporate and develop an upcoming talent.

Also the Enzo run was pretty solid again. 4th at Copenhagen then losing a close match at champs to a team who were 1 map of the grand finals. Not a bad conversion from a new player

Bro kinda did,
Remember how he seamlessly incorporated Braveaf or Enzo and alphajer. Pretty much all of them were pretty green before joining fnatic. By no means no names but then again neither were players like Aspas or Yay

But like is there anyone else who's near the level. I think there's a few solid igls running around that haven't proven themselves yet. Your johnqt, vallens, Enzo

Granted stax probably was an oversight on the original list

I think boostio just needs to show he can stand the best of time like the top 3

I mean realistically there's like 3-6 depending on perspective

Shadhaak
FNS
Boaster

Then like at a stretch igls who have won in the past
Angel
Boostio
Redgar

Are their good igls just on dodgey teams, you can't exactly just get one from ranked.

Int GC finals to steal org when yours is about to drop you

Hear me out here what if the V1 players knew they were going to lose their org to the G2 merger way in advance. They want to sell to Shopify (since no one else has the bag to pay their V1 super tram salary). They int against EG so old Shopify doesn't make championships so that old SR aren't able to prevent the transfer by still being contracted for champs.

It's all coming together

Curry would take a W here tbh

Munchkin is probably the closest replacement for king at sentinel possible. At least in terms of Korean talent

Surely you don't bench king given you just signed him for the upcoming season

Autumn left this one in the over a bit too long, over cooked it well and truly

Who on earth let Autumn cook.
What is this roster going to look like, is surely your not benching xeta for rossy

The real question is why, what do they need him for?
