My fault gang LMFAO
A coles notes version of the last few years may help explain Riot's hesitancy to grant Optic a spot in the upcoming VCT.
Optic (and h3cz) have a problematic history with Riot (the LOL debacle). Franchised leagues in general (OWL issues). And even other organizations (NRG).
You cannot deny what H3cz built. Sold. And then reacquired. But you have to remember that he:
Sold the majority of his organization for a LOL spot and VC money.
Personally abandoned the team (and the LOL Spot) when he did not like the direction the company was heading.
Indirectly forced the sale of the LOL spot to Immortals.
Bought into the CDL with NRG, abandoning an OWL team (one org couldn't own two teams) in the process.
Abandoned the NRG and reacquired OpTic, ending up with two CDL spots (eventually selling the 'original' LA Optic to 100t).
And most recently, abandoned his Chicago CDL spot to merge with NV.
Hecz finessed a bunch of people. Made a bunch of money. And while I respect his game. Hustle that hard has consequences.
Why did Riot choose NRG over Optic? Why did they choose Sen over Optic? Why did they choose Cloud 9 over Optic? Why did they (potentially) choose C9 and 100t over Optic?
Riots only goal is to make money. I would argue of the rip and on the surface Optic makes the league more money then AT LEAST NRG. Probably more then EG. Maybe more then C9?
Instead of arguing semantics, try to justify what made Riot choose 5 other teams over Optic?
In my opinion: It has to do with perceived stability. Regardless of the exact timeline Optic and by extension, h3cz does not have a glowing history as a league partner. And, for better or for worse, NV decided the hitch their cart to the Greenwall.
Instead of getting angry or arguing pedantry, explain to me in detail why other organizations were selected.
Because on paper Optic should be slam dunk.
yeah i passed out for 12 hours. Tip: Do not take cough medicine before sleeping
FUCKING IONSANE TWITCH DRAMA, INSANE ROSTER SPECULATIONS, MY FRIEND GOT CHEATED ON YESTERDAY, MY PET GOLDFISH DIED BROOOOOOOO TF IS LIFE.
Banana Fish and Psycho Pass.
Juseu, LogaNNN, TakaS.
Banana Fish and Psycho Pass are underrated and deserve more
Almost no chance Sen dont make it no? George also said that there is a very very low possibility they don't make it. They have the biggest fanbase in valorant yet.
franchise isnt determined based on performance, more focused on viewership and fanbase
unlikely according to George Geddes
Does this mean Nats will join the team that will merge with Bleed?

Few Riot senior employees revealed on the Golden Carpet yesterday that all franchised teams will be revealed by next week.
leaks came out yesterday at like 12 pm IST by a hacker named TeaPotUber hacker. I was just chilling on GTAForums because I'm really interested in modding and RP servers. Then boom a thread regarding leaks came out. Usually i was skeptical because these "leaks" come out every week or so with some random ass click bait. But the netcode and assets in the files were pretty legit.
they will lmfao, otherwise there is little to no use of their partnership
listen to neurotica by polyphia.
Time to return to my existential crisis and worry about my future as bridges burn around me.
STOP TALKING SHIT LMFAO
This dynamic is more worse than my ex and my mother;.
IMO, this shouldnt be in the game since it does not even make sense. If you tap the bomb as an attacker, the plant sound which the enemies hear are as if you are planting the bomb for 1s. This messes up the timing of peeks a lot, especially in 1v1 clutches like we just saw now.
it wasnt even a whiff, his crosshair was on his head but quite literally the next moment, aspas decided to jump and that messed him up
how tf did he whiff it? That was point blank range and only 1 bullet hit. That shit is tiliting
go back to complaining about odins and being hardstuck in youtube clip comment sections lil bro
all 30 franchised teams in a tourney held in sao paolo. That tourney will break fucking records. Mark my words. Brazil fanbase will do us proud.
Brothers voice is on its last string
When buying clothes, dont skimp out on money. You need that shit last at least 3 years. I don't want to spend 20 dollars on a hoodie and have its stitching and print detoriate within 4 months.

Brother, these are the kind of kids and god forbid Adults, Tate is influencing. Actual Brainlets.
The timing, the call and the agentrs which pushed each entry point. FNS showing up really well
Yeah XERXIA took almost all the money if i recall correctly
RITO FIX THE COSMETIC ULT
I may be wrong here, but teams have a requirement to give atleast 50% to the players
I still dont see how its a bad thing?
you are literally spewing the same points over and over and over again just like every other CS frog on this website. Moreoever you are comparing the gameplay of casual ranked and mixing it with the dynamic of pro play. Both are very different gamestyles.
And literally, all your points have been anecdotal.
Let me elaborate as to why your take is braindead.
valorant is so much easier than other games
Yeah because it was intentionally done like that to appease the casuals. Which is why you have more new players playing Valorant everyday than CS ever did in the past 5 years.
movement is slow, gunplay is dumb and bad engineered so everyone can be a god at it.. making a tactical fps not about skill on aiming or guns
No shit sherlock, if Valorants main focus was to determine skill based solely on aim THEN THE GAME WOULDNT BE VALORANT, IT WOULD BE CS.
and to all of this you can add a screwed up netcode that makes you feel you are playing in a casino slot where the game takes part on who dies and who lives... "tactical" fps with "precise" gunplay...
The CS hitreg is absolute dogshit. CS frogs always boast about the techniques they have developed to add to a high skill ceiling but fail to realise those techniques were first created to adapt to the shit game engine you run on.
thats why a team that wins a tourney cant get it done twice...
How is this a bad thing. I rather see new talent and players get a chance than repeated dominance by one single team. It makes the scene more interesting.
just like they did LoL from DotA , an inferior game based of another
Funny how you say inferior copycats. The company must be doing something right, if "inferior copycats" end up beating the game they were based on on all standards.
I will investigate the 9-3
