i believe thats on a per year tho, but even then its probably better than what an sea org could provide
i believe thats why pati is leaving too, as la glads is an opportunity he cant pass up on now especially with the news of ow2, i think he’ll come back once the ow2 rostermania begins
xzi has said he would look to join a korean valorant team if the salaries were better, as owl minimum is 50k so im not sure about anyone else
hello! i got bored so i wanted to make a post on everything going on in asian valorant currently from october to today, hope you enjoy :)

new org entering korea? i can see suggest poached onto dk but when you have t3xture already theres not much reason to have allow, considering his sova hasnt looked toptier level compared to his jett
not really a random team, theyre all streamers/pros, zest is part of vs and goddead was former f4q, sunday was former t1kr
yep, roster is full thai
https://twitter.com/teamnkt_csgo/status/1455505369459937287?s=21
Roster:
i see him acting as a benchwarmer/content creator because of the amount of strategies he knows while playing for vs, maybe waiting for a poach offer?
Currently Zest is still considered on medical leave and is inactive from Vision Strikers, but what will be the team’s plan with him moving forward, seeing as there are now 2 others who play his role?
Will we see a functional 7 man roster (Rb, Lakia/King, Zest?) or will he just be dropped entirely/moved to content?
once again, tnl still cant beat vs :(
where did you hear this from? no way its only -eugene, pretty sure theyre rebuilding around t3xture/intro and possibly jeong hi
it would probably be bo1s, especially if league already does them
otherwise i understand where you come from :)
Would you prefer to see LCQs for Champions qualification or have Play-ins from the highest circuit point teams, Worlds style?
Just wanna know what you think :)
comeback of the best team 2-0 i need girlfriend :)
https://www.oneesports.gg/valorant/lakia-play-against-chinese-teams/
tldr: they play as if its a deathmatch
The korean team I need Girlfriend is back after ceasing to exist in Stage 3 Korean challengers and will be making a return in the ShotVal Pride tournament in a group with Spear Gaming
The only former ING member to be in this roster will be Mandu, but its good to see the return of the team :)
they didnt buy him, his contract ended and lakia approached vs directly about joining the team ^^
In a video by the Valorant Korea account for the upcoming ShotVal tournament, a team of notable players (xzi, doenmo, etc) had a scrim showmatch against Vision Strikers on Bind and Icebox, and while it might not be an accurate indicator of VS’ champions plans, its still something for now :)
Icebox:
stax is up there, good firepower, consistent, has great mechanics
definitely up there in contention for the best igls
will give genuine advice here but make sure when they say any questions, actually ask questions ^^ itll make you look like youre paying attention and care for the job
Hello! After F4Q vs. Nuturn, FiveK had a stream regarding what will be the future of both the team and its players. The vod is sub-only however this is a translation of what he said regarding the future of the players:
if anyone is interested in watching full sense vs x10 (with pati), they will be facing against eachother in the FPSThailand Regular Season, which can be found here: https://www.twitch.tv/FPSThailand
x10 has been making some... interesting role changes, but it could just be comp practice? itll be an interesting match however this is just a qualifier for the offline fpsthailand finals, but itll be fun to see the 2 thai champions face off for the first time since stage 2! :)
you must enroll at any time for 18 months from 18-28 y/o besides if you are deemed unfit to attend
fivek has already done it i think, esperanza and efina are young and have multiple years to go before having to attend
think that only applies for the notable representatives though, unless people like faker still arent exempt
hai already has their tryout roster (shotval page) and it doesnt look too promising besides redwater, itll be a while before orgs like talon and mystic join though, but depending on whos picked up i can see efina definitely being signed
i just think fivek and esperanza are better fits to damwon due to the rebuild, as an igl fivek seems like a good bet and esperanza is a driving force to f4q's berlin performance
18 months, you can choose any time from 18-28 in korea to do your service
only people exempt are those deemed mentally unfit to go to service or sports atheletes, esports wise i think only lol, dota, and sc2 players are exempt
where did you hear hanwha is going to val? surely if theyre joining afreeca has to aswell right
i see esperanza and fivek (as igl) playing for damwon, not sure about anyone else though, maybe efina back to tnl or play for an org like talon/spear? bunny and zunba military service though :(
50/50 game
if hyeoni plays well, nuturn can take it but if damwon keeps their momentum, damwon might win
NU ban ascent, DK ban icebox, NU pick bind, DK pick haven, NU pick split
no because its the equivalent of using your passport to create an account (not sure if thats the best analogy)
you cant make an account in korea without having to verify your id because korea really cares about hackers for some reason
if you have a korean student id i think that works too but otherwise, best bet is to buy one
damwon always starts slow in tournaments, theyve been starting to show life now against boom and reject, lets just hope for a good match here :)
you need a korean identification card to make a korean server account
esperanza has some of the best spray transfers ive seen and somehow always manages to find one on the hunters fury, a lot of times gets multiple at once, was a driving force in bringing f4q to berlin
definitely an underrated player along with mako and hann
you can tell his disappointment with himself after berlin ended too, hes worked to improve since then and he’s truly passionate for the future of his team
hes insane man :)
roughly translated from post match interview:
“when I was in the 1v3, I didnt think to myself that the round and match was over, rather I recalled and drew inspiration from the Korean fencer [Park Sang-young] at the Olympics who had the phrase ‘I can do it’ and willed himself to get the gold medal”
mvp of the series, good job and good luck to sa in the future! :)
hopefully we’ll get a good kr server match, both teams should be more used to their ping now and play more to par
2-1 can go anyone’s way unless hyeoni goes insane, maybe f4q edge out if they play berlin style
no problem! its been a treat to watch sa lcq so far, 6k and glb are very entertaining to watch ^^
SEA stepped up, tournament circumstances favor apac south and adapted better, 3/5 of damwon was released, f4q changing their playstyle completely, nuturn looks not to be in reykjavik/stage 3 form
overall lcq did not favor korea at all and kr couldnt adapt to their play environment compared to challengers, sea was much more used to ping etc
the experience youll gain by losing to other asian teams in the case of korea, where this is one of the few opportunities to learn and play with something at risk is a bigger payoff than making it through lcq with little learnt until champions
sometimes losing is what a team needs to make that extra step to its fullest potential! :)
i think korea underperforming is a good thing here
korea doesnt get chances to practice to this caliber, the fact that fs 13-0d and damwon 1-2 ge is a signal that something needs to change if more teams want to compete against vs
korea comes back stronger whenever down like this, and with hai, spear, and sga confirmed to join will be the start of something new for kr valorant
only ups from here, this is good practice for all of kr even if they underperform, and let’s see what the rest of apac can pull off here in lcq :)
dont discredit south america too, they may not have the best caliber of play but its so much fun to watch
6/8 or so teams are around the same level and feels massively unpredictable at times
i know it was a 13-0? not trying to discredit fs because they were playing out of their mind in that series
lower ping doesnt necessarily mean they have the advantage because the ping isnt equal. korea might have 40 ping up against 70 in sea, however playing on 70 ping has advantages and disadvantages that 40 doesnt
sea is most likely much more used to having to play 70 ping (sea internet is not always the best) though compared to a korean playing on 40, because korea is always used to single digit or 10/20 ping
i think why sea is more prepared for lcq is because the circumstances of how the actual tournament plays out (teams, ping, etc) heavily favors sea, where they get consistently good practice/scrim partners and can play on the fly on high and low ping, where korea doesn’t have many competitive teams to scrim in their region, having to always turn to sea/jp, however sea has just been playing out of their mind here + never really having to play in high/mid ping outside of sea scrims
the conditions of apac lcq arent enough imo to gather whether sea really is better or not, for now kr is still 3rd with sea being very close behind
is korea a bad region for underperforming against sea/sa and even japan? absolutely not, but korea hasnt been up to par with what we expected
however, is the rest of apac catching up? yes, theyre catching up fast
