Maybe just a better team structure (chamber was not needed today) and roles, with ardis on duelist, not a ardis fan tho i believe he can play exceptionally well.

Imagine having faze flair and having the audacity to call Alfa a bot lmao... Get a life dude.

Btw, when does Faze play international? 😂

well i like your idea but would you wanna risk it against one of the best team on pearl?

according to theory, FNC can cook all the strats up their sleeves but EG wouldnt be able to do so as there are no vods for FNC's Pearl

fnc against PRX i say 3-1 (due to the bans and picks, else this could have been 3-2)
fnc againts EG 3-2 or 2-3

well i thought about that but its like would FNC ban their own strong map? and split can go either ways becoz of its layout and how many close matches split provide

thus i kept bind and banned split

I know there is one match to go before finals but just curious to do this.

If Fnatic vs Paper Rex
FNC Bans Pearl
FNC Bans Split
FNC Picks Lotus
PRX Picks Bind
FNC Picks Fracture
PRX Picks Ascent
Decider Haven

If Fnatic vs Evil Geniuses
FNC Bans Pearl
FNC Bans Fracture
FNC Picks Lotus
EG Picks Ascent
FNC Picks Bind
EG Picks Split
Decider Haven

Regarding Seeds
Well im still confused with seeds but i picked up the knowledge from VALORANT News - TacticalRab and finals of each leagues.
VALORANT News - TacticalRab: Regarding Seeding in the finals

(If you are open to healty conversation around this, please do but just wanna be toxic please dont. I just do this threads bcoz i really like.
Would love to know your thoughts)

aim surely, something is cracked but overall nah. Leo just better.

well until champs they might be the best team on the map, but would you play a map that you have barely played apart from scrims? and even the best team can have a bad map. i am not saying that "if they might be best or worst on the map" but just curious to know.

do you have the source for this information, want to get in the details.

im not sure how seeds work for the finals, if FNC reaches finals and they dont get the option to ban. What then?

Well i agree to this somewhat, but FNC is prep heavy team they are different from other emea teams. im not saying that theyll be good but might have better chance compared to other emea teams and wont include them in the general statement of "pearl will never be an emea team's map"

i guess EG is good at pearl too, so they might continue to ban pearl and play fracture, bind and decider might be split

Will fnatic make pearl their map or keep it a perma ban?

Comp they might use on pearl
Derke - Jett
Chronicle - Viper
Boaster - Astra
Alfa - Killjoy
Leo - fade/skye

Kinda looks amazing and has a great concept, not sure if some game already had similar concept... but inclusion of abilites and pickups makes it cool. TBH i liked the way it is.

How is it EU favoured? TBH the easiest match is for loud, i dont think EDG has a chance against loud. Liquid gets EG and the match will start 40-60%. PRX vs NRG will be great match up with ardis getting back the groove.

The only thing you can argue is that, FNC has better chances on DRX (even tho i think DRX can upset things here) but for that you could replace them as FNC vs PRX.

with all due respect your opinion is just miserable.

It should not be about "if you are 2-0 in groups then you face the weak team in the playoff" better make them face againts the teams from other region

For Playoffs (Logical match up)
PRX VS NRG -> PRX VS DRX (Coz we already had prx vs drx at pacific)
FNC vs DRX -> FNC vs NRG
Liquid vs EG -> Liquid vs edward
Loud vs Edward -> Loud vs EG

⚠ We've had serious technological issues at the Coliseum that saw our local servers cut out earlier. We're switching to host the event online, so we can continue with the planned schedule ⚠- Nightbot reply (Valorant Champions Tour EMEA -YT)

You can use a VPN and search for collin County judicial records on Google, the first link will take you to the records. And whatever dinosaurbin posted is accurate.

The only thing i liked about the production was map veto apart from it everything was just okay. Emea and Pacific did it better.

Jamppi round

Yes you can push forward on ascent a and send the pet to fake diffuse ... It has so much potential depending on how you use.

I think this agent is to make the game more fun for the casual players...

so far love the studio, waiting for stage reveal. what are your thoughts.

WHAT? what team is he gonna play for?

maybe do only chennai server for custom rooms, thus mumbai and SGP server wont be affected and pro players can take benefit from chennai ping

they can lock roster with ayrin and 4 old players until they find new ones. coz its a soft roster lock.. the main hard roster lock is in first week of feb

Splashed with bucket of water

TSM wants to buy optic roster as per rumors, seems like TSM made into franchise and optic didnt.

its more cool then expected, riot actually did great job at this

Let the man have his time... its fking first lan and literally first map for alfa and he is jst 17.

Yeah it's almost like the team that is on defence on later stage of the games is gonna win

Maybe 100k to damage the competition, from what i remember lakia was good and DRX wanted to be the only one in KR to qualify. So they removed competition by buying him.

Shaz on init, tenz duelist, dapr sentinel/2nd initiator, zelsis on controller and shroud on chamber... This helps shroud as he can play on sim. (Shroud is practicing line-ups so it's less likely to happen. Source: twitch.tv/shroud)

They probably paid for shrouds image and salary won't do for shroud... It might be equivalent to buyout of a top player.

exactly... its like comparing Grade 1 result and Grade 10 in schools

LMAO, guess what the trophy could look like

You cant call brazil better just bcoz of one team... Loud is great not brazil... and i love loud.

Exactly, Let him enjoy. he is ready to grind and his fans are excited to watch him play again... stop hating on him dude... He is called washed up, pay stealer and much more just bcoz he wanted to pursue FULL time Streaming and C9 wanted him to stick... Maybe he didnt achieve much in CS in terms of trophies and all, but he was good.. Not underestimating or overestimating him. He is God king of FPS for me.

You did great but some of this might get picked up by NA or EU orgs, as both Americas and EMEA can also apply for a slot in ASIA region... in SA GE/VLT might get a slot but chances are thin... coz many big ORGS are there

franchising will only have teams represent region but not the players.. mostly you can have any player...thats how it should work.

WISH shroud does it this time.

How in the world they didn't have backup plan or power system to play in a so important tournament.

They might do good but i guess they aint gonna go champ, maybe top 4 would be good for them

Nats looks promising on chamber, can be primary chamber on all maps if someone can change to controller?

FNC won the first time (https://www.vlr.gg/99246/fnatic-vs-funplus-phoenix-champions-tour-stage-2-emea-challengers-group-stage-week-1) even after Derke not feeling that good on chamber as it was his first time i guess in VCT and after playing 5 Group matches he is a demon again... DERKE FTW.

Free points for winning national circuit and ending last in APAC.

exactly... but breeze is fine for me... it doesnt have lot of choke points ... so i like that map

“We’re pretty sure it will be back sometime in the future though. Maybe even with some tweaks?” Riot said. i dont think theyll take 2 yrs for split to make a comeback

chill bro, spilt needed some rework and probably thats the only reason i guess
