ah ok, but why can't they join surge east if an israeli team is in it?

the biggest comeback in valorant history was 100T vs Gambit, FNC were up 2-0 on maps at one point in the LOUD series

why can the CIS team not join another league? there are teams in the portugese league without 3 portugese players lmao

but they didn't, and both navi and HLTV have repeatedly called navi a CIS organization

7ssk7 is good, i don't think riot cares how good the scouts are they care more for the business side of thigns

I love watching fnatic crumble in real time, LOUD started it at champions KC will finish it here (im gonna eat my words when fnc win the next 2 maps lmao)

neither spirit nor virtus pro have had teams in valorant before though no? navi has

damn, will he move onto the AMER staff or was it just a short experiment

he is clearly trolling the only masters tournament with 16 teams so far was masters berlin 2021

it highly depends on who makes from americas and fnc v kc

If LOUD, NRG and FNC win: top 6 is reasonable, those 3 teams should all make top 4 and there will be 1 team from china or pacific there too
if EG and KC win: top 3 or 4 is reasonable

why did steel go home exactly?

there are only 8 teams, so all teams would play on either the 1st or 2nd day and on the 15th he will still be 17 so they'd play with patitek anyway

its not worth joining mid tourney if patitek has to play 1 or 2 of the matches anyway

right. so he won't be 18 when the event starts on the 14th

you just said a whole lot of nothing lmao. GenG is not fradulent they are a clear top 2 team in Pacific with PRX, its just pacific is very weak right now. Heretics have 2 of the top 4 and 3 of the top 10 players by rating at EMEA kickoff

i could care less americas has more either way

awww the regions with 1 and below champions are arguing!

genG and heretics are not fraud teams...

to make top 4 you needed to win 3 games at lock\in, to make top 4 at madrid (including qualifiers) you'd need to win 5 unless you are from group C. thats the difference

madrid is much less fradulent than lock\in was lol

why tf is he even trying to a fix a team after 2 nailbitters to 2 top 4 teams in americas

they have an american p easy pred imo

its not their fanbase its like 5 fans on VLR most of them aren't like this lol(although a lot of the fans were som or fns fans so maybe its diff now)

karma does not care about copage

sick(no this is not a pun on dapr being in oxg)

*igl -> player

their chances of losing to fpx went up 10 fold because of this post

again: so they'd be borderline 2nd tier in AMER (tier 1 being SEN LOUD NRG, tier 2 being LEV 100T EG) is what im getting

so they'd be borderline 2nd tier in AMER (tier 1 being SEN LOUD NRG, tier 2 being LEV 100T EG) is what im getting

idk why they gotta sugar coat it lol they are a top 3 team in americas to most people

can you compare them to the bottom 3 in NA (9 KRu 10 C9 11 Furia)

well yes and no, it still exists at champions, but nowhere else

Hi anyth1ng how you doin

It’s every match they’ve ever played according to VLR, even so why would we discount off-season matches if we aren’t discounting them for LOUD

harbor- tuyz

as the leader of LOUD's american embassy
NO

YOU

DON'T

he rozad 7 times in a row before hitting one

well yeah but Navi have to get through TH with the 2 best rated players of the tourney so both the original post and this one are making stretches and assumptions lol

well they also lost to , gambit, and fut lol

can we give it time before we say there is a problem lol, they lost nailbitters to LEV and SEN, 3rd and 4th in Americas to most people and have had way less time with boostio than most other teams have had with their igls

DRX is 7-6 in series vs EMEA teams though

i mean they've only lost 11 series total, most of those to EG and optic

you do realize none of EMEA got top 4 and the gap between FPX and 2nd in EMEA was not 5 spots from top 6 to first at an international

saadhak is the best player in the world rn given the huge gap in igling ability between him and 2nd, and he has better mechanics than the boasters, fns' and steels of the world, so what makes you think he will drop off lol

theres too few best and too many worst lol

Sure, but loud had to play 3x the matches and had way more chances to drop a map the comparison just isn’t there

ima have to say they at most pulled a miniloud because LOUD at qualifiers for masters 1 did not drop a map while KC have already lost a series

if they think tbagging has the potential to ruin their revenue which they must because there isn't another reason for them to care, then im perfectly ok with it being banned
CS switched off of Ts and CTs to Attackers and Defenders to get more sponsors right? this could be something similar to a way smaller scale

time in the league has so much to do with it lol, its like that in every sport or esport. if someone is new they are much more volatile, their ceiling and floor are both way higher and lower in their respective directions, but the more they play, the more we understand how good they are and can be
we can both agree that zekken will never be the best player in the world right? maybe best duelist for a short period of time, but there will be someone on another role always better than him
there is a chance marteen can become the best player in the world
lets look at another example in basketball, jalen green early on in his career had the potential to be a superstar number 1 option, but after many years in the league, people can agree he is not going to get there, he can still be a star, but he won't become a superstar and is currently not even a number one option on his team, that being alperen sengun
edit: added " maybe best duelist for a short period of time, but there will be someone on another role always better than him"

im talking about the past and the future, not the present, which we have at most 6 matches and at minimum 1 match to go off of. you judging the kickoff tournaments ONLY is very flawed lmao
and marteen is like 5 months older wow such a difference, zekken already being in tier 1 for 3 years has a much greater impact on how high his ceiling can theoretically go than 5 months in marteen's case or a year in jemkin's case
