beyAz with the tactical flag change so they participate in French qualifiers hehe

Anyway, they chose to compete in EU from start to finish even if it might be harder at the beginning. I respect them, this team will go big in the future.

this guy? Wtf?

Sí, es una pena. Tampoco han reaccionado al feedback que les daba la gente.

El circuito de ahora deja mucho que desear, veremos si en el futuro son capaces de hacer algo.

🤔
C'mon LVP, you can do better, competitive integrity looking like shit right now

• 9 invited teams
• 0 portuguese or italian teams
• teams like CASE or 19, between many others, fighting just for 1 spot
• teams inside the region forced to join other VLRs because of this format

Pure nepotism, pretty sad

What happened?

Why do you look so salty on every single one of your comments
Chill my boy, take a break from the internet

I saw another comment in this post listing every country allowed to participate and Serbia wasn't in there

I don't know why I thought that it was you for a moment, my bad

Why isn't Serbia allowed to compete here? Diplomatic issues?

they are still two teams with a huge fanbase behind them, hence the comparison
and a huge fanbase correlates with a good funding for the team

that's why I said it is similar, you overreacting Otto

potential is a relativistic parameter

when people think the previous post is a bait (b8) for impressions

0/8 is a very bad and obvious bait
8/8 is a gr8 b8

Indeed

I think we've been baited and it's the announment of them being invited to the VLR lol

Maybe just in case he receives a "super offer" from a t1 team, a big contract or something like these

Ibai, KOI's co-owner is in some sense of the term, "close" to him. Or at least, they have some public talks in Twitter and such

I perfectly see Ibai contacting him as soon as he was benched

That's not going to happen.
Unless H1ber received an offer from a t1 team and/or he wanted to leave, which I doubt

KOI might be a t2-t3 team right now
But trust me, they have potential. Similar situation as LOUD in Brazil.

That would be pretty dumb lol

Smokes for him would be perfect tho
I hope he get more experience with that role in the future

If not, sentinel role is nice too

Agree, that 3 player core shouldn't be touched

Keloqz needs time and discipline
Meddo needs versatility and a wider agent pool, he is pretty good mechanically

Yeah, I hope he does.

But in my opinion, he should either quit streaming or quit playing competitively.

I might be wrong tho, but I feel like he should specialize in one thing and one thing only

True I didn't think that way
BR surely entered the 2022 scene pretty strongly
What about Riot doing something like they do with EMEA region? They still have 3 separate regions and qualifiers (EU, TR, CIS) but they ultimately share the same circuit. This would be great for BR, LAN and LAS.
What do you think?

I would like a merge from BR and LA south and north in officials tbh
I feel this way every region would improve drastically

context?

Oh that's it, gotcha

It does not add up to 20, isn't it?

3 Ind
3 Mal/Sing
3 Thai
3 Phi
2 Viet
2 SA
2 HK/Tai
1 OCE

= 19

Which one am I missing out?

Tier SM - very bad

TYSM my friend for the info

C9 already dethroned SEN in so many ways

SEN still top2 tho

Brothers in this thread, do you know when Korea and Japan VCTs open quals start?
Will Hong Kong & Taiwan still have their separate VCT inside APAC?
What is China current situation with Valorant? Are they entering the scene soon?

GUILD hopium here

this guy knows

Did they really said that? I think paura can still improve skillwise tbh

Molsi is insane and LDNU>BIG in firepower but BIG strats are just way better rn, I don't think they will end up above BIG

And about Navi, I just believe in them, I think they will improve massively for groups

Some joyful and folklorik (south of Spain, flamenco/ish) music

That's why its called a hot take.
And yes, I watched every NAVI match from closed qual 1 and 2.

You are here calling for kicks and roster changes at the bare minimum. Team need time to show off. They need to work on map comps, and they will. Jady-Cloud duo is insane.
Who do you think the bots are?
Duno? Well, they need an IGL and he is performing well on SMOKES.
Dinkzj? He is not as bad as everyone says, and he is an experimented sentinel player.
Ssk? Well, maybe, he is not the best Jett player CIS region has to offer, maybe they should look for a replacement for him, he's not a bad flex player, but his Jett is nothing optimal.

Some quite relaxing music from a quite unknown cult artist, singer, composer and hard rock spanish musician.

Group A

· 1. GAMBIT.

· 2. LIQUID.

· 3. NAVI.
· 4. BIG.
· 5. LDNU.
· 6. FPX.

---

· 3-6. IDK too hard to predict, I think NAVI could and will improve drastically over time thanks to Jady buff, LIQUID probably in the lead to take 2nd spot. I feel like everyone in this group could take 2nd spot. We'll see. Pretty balanced group.

Group B

· 1. GUILD (HOPIUM).
· 2. ACEND.
· 3. FNATIC

· 4. G2.

· 5. SMB.
· 6. BBL.

---

· 1-3. GUILD bias but Leo easily #1 World. I think FNATIC will improve as well with braveaf addition, so my guess is that they end definitely in top3.

· 4. I think G2 still need to improve a lot of things, and they will, but I doubt they'll be there in time to end in top3. Huge potential, nonetheless.
· 5-6. SMB on par with G2 right now, IMO. I feel like BBL is one little step below SMB right now.

because I like valorant comp scene

So? They could still be treated as part of EU? Do you think countries like Germany, France or Spain deserve a separate path to VCT with it's own seeds and such? Well, no. That's what I'm trying to say.
Turkey should be thankful RIOT is taking them into consideration.

No. There is not a conspiracy against turkish teams. Stop with this victimization shit. It is getting ridiculous.

Turkish scene should be thankful for the opportunity RIOT is giving them by competing as a region of it's own. Show some decency and respect.

Riot, explain to me why 2 CIS in one group and 2 TR in another

I don't understand

This guy is literally obsessed with other person's life xdd

Let's gooo I'm so hyped for Navi this VCT EMEA

Noti, ty
I totally forgot about that, he still "IGLed" for G2 from that period right? If I remember correctly zeek was IGLing for them as well

Maybe, maybe. I just want and expect more transparency from RIOT with all this shit man. If they "warned" them, then I think it is fair to make it public.

There is an issue with your reasoning, and that is that g2 where not bootcamping. If you knew the rulebook why the f would you still being heard during comms midgame?

After all, LAN events are WAY more and easily more "patrolled". Not the case with online events tho, that's why pipsoN shouldn't have been in comms with them, IMO

I mean, there is a reason why nukkye deleted the clips, and that's because he knew he fucked up uploading it so everyone could heard pipsoN in it

Also, I've looked for the VCT 2022 rulebook, and this is what you can read on it, word by word.

4.8. Coaches
4.8.1. Teams may have one coach. If a Team has a coach, then that coach may be
present for every Match in which the Team participates. For live, in-person
tournaments held as part of the VCT (“LAN Events”), at least one of a Team’s
designated coaches may be on site throughout each such Match. Coaches may be
connected to the voice communication system in the lobby and will only be allowed
to talk to players and others during the Agent and Map selection process for each
Match, timeouts, half-times and in between Maps (if applicable). Coaches are only
permitted to be in the Match Area during Agent and Map selection and in between
Maps.

Applying VCT 2022 rulebook, and after evidence of nukkye's deleted clips where pipsoN is heard midround: G2 should be rightfully punished

My guess rn is that riot is not punishing it at all. But I know nothing really. If they announce it as punishable in their rulebook, and then they don't punish it, that just put riot at a very bad place.

If Kolda "cheated" with pipson or whatever, doesn't mean G2 does.

This is completely true, I have no clue if this practice was used when Kolda was there or not, so IDK about this.
But still, pipsoN was in G2 comms and let's remember that the rulebook doesn't allow it at all
