Which one

They were ready to burn that man at the stake for witchcraft

Okie 👍

Alibaba Angel winning champs confirmed

A lot of winning teams have the dynamic of a stupid good duelist supported by 4 solid support players, so a lot of the times it's hard to argue they would have won without their fragging

Severe duelist bias but also star Duelists are kinda necessary to win, still have shao, Leo, Alfa, nAts and pANcada

Yeah but t3xture is himothy

Didn't watch don't care trace going out in 2 t3xture top fragged basically all their important matches

Idk if this comparison is worse with or without recency bias, fns has never been known as an aim demon

Reykjavik 2021 - TenZ
Berlin 2021 - nAts
Champs 2021 - cned
Reykjavik 2022 - yay
Copenhagen 2022 - shao
Champs 2022 pANcada
LOCK IN - Leo
Tokyo 2023 - Alfajer
Champs 2023 - Demon1
Madrid 2024 - Zekken
Shanghai 2024 - Meteor
Seoul 2024 - ???

Is this the most lukewarm take possible? It seems like outside of maybe yay vs nats at Berlin and champs 2022 with everyone on LOUD popping off every event has had an obvious best player

That wouldn't go winless in VCT americas

If you wanna talk about farmers and plumbers nats got himself put in the goat convo by picking cypher and NOT sitting on 1 site all half and being somewhat proactive on offense, definitely a great player who innovated in some ways but the way we talked about nats in 2021 you'd think he was a witch

volleyball ofc

FNC vs BLG, Hiro life game pulls fnatic ahead in a 2-1 after whzy starts shitting on them, Hiro MVP
KRU vs DRX, Daddy BuZz reminds everyone DRX are an esports team not a reality tv show, BuZz MVP
GenG vs Sen, S3xture is the goat, S3xture in my throat, Karon MVP
TH vs FPX, Heretics win this ngl but Life fries everyone, Life MVP
Lev vs TLN, Primmie gets sent to the gulag, Aspas MVP
Vit vs Trace, Trace upset incoming, FengF and Kai are himothy, Trexx MVP with four 1v5 clutches despite losing
EDG vs Fut, giga banger ngl, Smoggy MVP
PRX vs G2, the power of 1000 delusional fangirls propel prx to victory, D4v4i MVP

Sounds like a skill issue tbh, kcorp got fnatic in single elim and they won, heretics didn't even have woot, if you wanna go to the cool shiny event you beat the guy in front of you, and its their fault they got bent by bbl drizzy, if they beat the 2nd best turkish team they wouldn't have gotten that draw, even then its your fault for losing not anyone elses.

idc, you need to beat teams to go to champs, its not like John Riot cursed them with a bo1 knockout game against prime fnatic, they lost in the regular season so they had to play a bo3 against a solid team and they lost, stop crying and hating and lock in for next year

wouldn't have needed to lose to Vit if they didn't get bent by KOI and GX

Maybe you wouldn't have had to face Vit in a knockout round (mid team btw, and its still your fault you lost) if you didn't get bent over and gaped by ShadoW and hoody lmao, "get me against these teams" you can't even beat fucking KOI and Giants who tf wants to pay for 3 plane tickets to fly your fatass to Asia. Also Meiy sScary and whichever GE player becomes himothy after dropped in 4 months all own you

Just backread other threads instead of starting new ones bruh

Touch grass

If you get a knife kill with it boostio joins your lobby on the enemy team, wins the round, calls you a pig in all chat, and leaves

Thank god riot runs this game and not Ubisoft or some shit, they are far from the best company and make a ton of blunders but they are 100x better than most other companies when it comes to esports and shit

It's cool, skin is mid, finisher is sick and knife is cool

Fpx is making it out of that group but ok

Damn Zeek really just won champs..
Proud of him fr

Yeah I'd much rather watch people press buttons all day, I actually spend most of my free time at a nuclear power plant watching the secretary write emails, super engaging

Guys I think Mako is a really good controller player, maybe even the goat controller

Fair NGL this is a pretty toxic question I just want vlr to go back to valorant instead of becoming a hub for wannabe private investigators

Yeah jemkin and monyet would've fried

Wdnc

Pls get all the drx stuff off the front page
Worst player at champs?

Now that drx has released a statement let's all chill out and discuss valorant considering champs.is coming up instead of having 30 drx threads
Anyways best team to miss champs?

Zellsis calls enough for the whole team, TenZ has good call outs, leaf is fine, oxy will be dead 6 seconds in anyways and yay gives info by just holding a line all game

Only issue with those two is some role overlap, like yay and leaf for c9 on sentinel, oxy vs TenZ vs yay duelist, xeta or zellsis, etc

Prime optic + who? Do you take peak Ethan over Peak crashies? Som or marved?

NGL i completely forgot that Weibo Gaming GC had this roster back in 2018, pretty obvious #1 mb for asking

What team can field the best roster with any player that has played at least 1 round of officials with them? All players in their peak so C9 could have peak TenZ and Yay for example
Imo
C9 with
Yay - sentinel/chamber
TenZ - Controller
Leaf - Flex
Zellsis - Initiator
Oxy - duelist

Could be goated imo I might be high tho, low-key might just be worse than like prime PRX/EG/FNC in reality

Honestly the only issue was not elaborating on the actual nature of the crime, not naming the player and remaining neutral was good, and you didn't seem to have any malicious intent, the only problem was framing it as 'a drx player raped a minor' illicits a much stronger assumption than what the allegations entail

Your cooked buddy

I'm suing you, kindly inform me of identifying details so that I can hunt you down

His wording on some stuff was really questionable but none of it seemed malicious

Damn looks like this might be their actual strategy lmao, I mean if he didn't do it no point entertaining it so who knows what'll happen

Masters 1 Belgrade
Masters 2 Minsk
Champs Sofia
Ez

Nah, throw as many T1 teams in as possible, more tier 1 vs tier 1 matchups, more competition, more excitement for upsets, etc

13-10 maps vs DRX and Fnatic, run these more and more and see what happens, especially with regions like Turkey and NA

It will create more movement and quality on both ends, T2 teams play officials against T1 teams, T1 teams get a better grasp of the talent in T2.
Also this would be 3rd parties running it not riot

The most exciting thing about the pre franchising era was the upset potential and the openness of the system, one day all the big orgs could win glory, the next day the guard and ghost gaming could be on top. If your gonna protect your big orgs finances with franchising and have a massive off-season fill it with something exciting.
Also M80 beats half of franchising

If we are only gonna have a small handful of T2 teams, many of which will be legacy teams, in franchising than we need to have more 3rd party events with open brackets. It will increase awarement, viewership, and revenue for T2 with them competing to upset top teams and claim valuable prize money, it will familiarize people with the T2 scene, and it will build more storylines in T1. Give me a full off-season split with hero base oxg, c9 and dfm competing in 1 group pls

It's understandable to be hopeful for more news, the more clarity there is the more directed the bs will be and less bystander will be wrongfully targeted. With that said we definitely shouldn't treat this as entertainment of any kind

If the allegations are true I believe he is the only person who fits the circumstances, with that said without official comment we don't know if the allegations are true
