Admit it or not, NA orgs are the most reliable options for RIOT so I would be surprised if NA doesn't get 6 spots then one of the NA orgs can go pick up a SA roster or a mixed roster. That would be the best outcome for viewership and competition.

Kcorp nAts

6 tournaments 6 different teams crowned as champions, that says how volatile the competition still is in valorant. With franchising no team is gonna stay where they are, they are gonna try to be better. Even OpTic might make roster changes since there will so many tier1 FAs and so much resources available to the franchised orgs. Why would you sign a whole ass roster that wasn't even the best in NA and had a sub per performance in masters 2?

As if xset has won a whole lot of trophies in 2022!

I don't see the drive in shaz anymore. This man used to do hours of vod review before matches and then come out with a big smile on his stream after getting the better of Steel, FNS etc. But now it seems he doesn't care. He puts more effort into justifying hours streaming the night before a match than actually trying to win a match. His fakes doesn't work, can't guess the enemy stacks and let's not talk about the horrendous agent picks.

I think he is. imo he role wise just couldn't fit into any of the teams he played for. He is one of the best raze players, was really good on chamber even though he didn't OP before and was hands down one of the best fraggers when Reyna was viable. I think he would be most effective with similar roles Victor plays at optic.

Duelist- Corey
Secondary fragger+OP- TenZ( Honestly I would prefer him on rifles but he has stated many times that he doesn't want to be the first one in so..)
Initiator- EEIU
Flex- SicK/trent ( depending on how SicK is feeling)
Controller+ Sentinel= Aproto/ dapr ( nAts would be the dream signing but isn't likely)

IGL would be an issue initially but there aren't many top top IGLs available in the market anyway so I think it would be better to groom one of them into an IGL.
Since there are so many hybrid agents , I feel like it's not wise to sign players based on their roles only.
Coach- ??

If there's smoke there's fire. Honestly I don't expect much from Riot with this franchisee thing cz ik they are gonna disappoint big time, specially with the smaller regions.

not NA just OpTech

:(

GG. It's been fun but OpTic brought out the big gun. It's over for LOUD

They don't lose twice. Only bad things is that it went to 5 maps and OpTic showed a lot of stuff but they are still too flexible man!

Yeah that's understandable

mb I didn't get it the first time

I just asked Chronicle if he would join sentinels and he answered but couldn't make sense of what he said cz someone else was talking over it! Can any of you understand what he was saying? https://clips.twitch.tv/LongSpinelessNeanderthalFloof-Q80esuDrbq4tJWSK

still look how they are playing. OpTic is just running in everywhere and taking every fight.

They always suck against big teams when they play scared like this and try to play safe. Cz they concede too much space and at that point you are just gonna get shafted. They need to stop thinking about who they are playing against and what's at stake.

Roster:
TenZ
Corey
eeiu
dapr
SicK/skuba

Coach: FNS.
Just give up man. You have done enough. You are like 40 years old! Now is the time to farm some clout and bring us back to our former glory. #FullSEN

Dephh was onto something ngl

ahahaa so orginal! You got the whole squad laughing.

Why the fuck they delay matches so much? I mean it's already past the schedule since the last game went to 3 maps then there are unwanted delays with tech pauses etc etc. Do they think people have nothing else to do and they will just sit there watching a valorant stream all da. Can we not just cut these things short? Most people watch the watch parties and their fav streamer doing geo guesser and what not anyway. BORING

Everytime their opponent is having a good stream of rounds they have PC problems? How convenient! Their tech pause timings are better than FNS' lurks, it's high time someone pointed this out.

nah that's not happening . LAN OpTic is just too good to get shit on like that.

Whoever wins between OpTic and Xset today is gonna win the champs. Written on the walls!

Not hating, he is my fav player but his obsession with changing settings everyday and trying to justify it with absurd logics is kinda laughable ngl

flicks are fun!

My high sens flick king is better than that crosshair placement merchant yayster

Fuck off

called it!

Calling it now

Bro this guy is playing so unusually bad? On bind he threw so many rounds and he is a very good aimer but today he can't hit shit!

Then do kay O, no?

yeah, that too. I know that randomness in name is a problem cz let's just say there is a new sub so are you gonna ask the VA to do it when they have already finished the voice overs? But still I think they can get around it and people wouldn't mind some exceptions in case they are necessary.

Bro said shahz in 2023! Just let it go Bruh. let him stream in peace

Couldn't they just get the Jett/Sage/any agent VA to call out the names? It would have been so much cooler! Or if you are trying to do the robotic theme then just do it in kayO's voice? This robot bitch can't even pronounce the names properly!

So reactionary! Fnatic was looking like hot garbage until yesterday!

That was a wireless mouse. he must've switched recently.

Imagine if FPX won off of that Ardiis clutch! Now all everyone is talking about is stax LMAO but that Ardiis 4k was the best fking thing in a valorant game.

prosettings says DA v3 and ik that he used to use the EC3 so I think they might be right on this one.

That might cost a lot but if there's a 1% it would make you play like him then it's worth it lol

Bro just boosted Deathadder V3's stonks to the moon!

corey

Probably Ligma

Mainly their play style. Don't tell me you can't rate a player from his ranked games. Pro play is entirely different but If you watch a player and see how he reacts to information and gathers information I think you can get a pretty good understanding of how good someone is. He is very good with his util which I think is very very important for initiator players. ShahZam shock darts and ults are not great. He does the same drone every round.

Dani is a better initiator than ShahZam. I mean is this even a hot take? I don't think ShahZam even enjoys playing initiator roles and I can't blame him for it. He played on OP duty his whole career. I would like SEN to get EEIU for 2023 but if they want a lowkey initiator player, I think we have the perfect fit right at home!

Idk where he would go but he should definitely go to a team with proper structure and infrastructure( good coach+igl+analyst+org support system) rather than a team where he would be comfortable. I feel like he is the kind of guy who needs to be pushed to the limit and I truly believe he still has potential to do great things in this game. People talk about his game sense but I think he is a smart player but it's just his mentality that's holding him down.

He would be the best fragger/aimer on Fnatic and it looks like you desperately need one

Agree on that. Hate region bandwagoners, Region vs Region arguments are so forced in most cases.

you are lost my guy, get some fresh air. Those are not their on-screen names, you know nzr is short for nozwerr or whatever, most people don't. Even if people don't know the origin of the name TenZ it's still easy enough to remember. That's my point.

He is not wrong though. Derke and Alfajer aren't performing upto expectations
