First of all, is there any equivalent of the HLTV top 20 players from last year? If not, can you give me your top 10 at least?

Secondly. Start watching the pro scene (mostly EMEA). What is the community's opinion of talent? For me, coming from CS, it all looks so clean, safe, and kind of fake. Yeah, most CS casters are ex-pro players, which Valorant doesn't have yet. And I guess who's the most highly regarded talent?

So if this year in some division, 2 ascension teams are dog. both eliminated or 1 change per year?

Hey. Cs refugee. Can somebody explain the Ascension system? Is there any relegation? G2, for example, is a pretty good team. What happens to their slot in 2026?
