is there even a slight chance of yay joining a team this year? even an academy team like EG?

What happens if their main team flops? Even if the academy roster is borderline “good,” would they really use a slot on a team like that?

Can someone explain what the point of academy rosters actually is? EG just announced they’re building one, but does that tie into the whole 2027 re-evaluation thing, or is it completely separate and just about developing new talent? And is there even a chance for an academy team to compete in the main VCT circuit?

envy yay is no more, keznit + rossy most likely. only chance he has is geng.

geng need to announce their players this week and I just got word that yay is having korean bbq with the team. wrap it up boys, geng yay confirmed.

who do you think they'll sign? I think there's two slots open

where tf are you bro

as much as I want Yay on a team, he only said “probably,” and it sounds like any team he planned or trialled with has probably fallen through

Envy rolls into T1, big W from Ascension,
But two got benched so quick it felt like lag compensation.
They grabbed Keznit fast, man’s cracked, no need for revision,
Now they’re hunting for a smokes main like it’s a side quest mission.

Curry out here playing smokes in ranked, speed-running like he’s worried,
Chilling with the squad daily, call that “professional nepo-Curry.”
Man’s got chemistry, vibes, the whole friend-buff system,
If they don’t sign him soon, that’s straight-up anti-nepotism.

And then there’s yay, mister El Diablo, aim so sharp it cuts the tension,
Says he’s joining some team soon… bro drops teasers like it’s Marvel’s next edition.
Wasn’t even trialling with them, but still fans got a vision,
T1, stop trolling, should’ve picked yay, that’s the actual good decision.

that also depends on whether keznit can perform. if he can’t, they’ll just sub him out instead. Yay could play smokes like astra or clove, or they could do a role swap.

Anyway, all of this is meaningless if they perform really well in scrims with whatever plan they decide to run. The point is if yay does well in scrims with envy, why the fuck wouldn’t he join?

commit fully to joining envy rather than t2

that’s low risk, low reward. Better to go all in and commit fully.

why? It's practically the only team he has left. It's better than not playing at all

Envy will start trialling for their fifth after red bull, we can still hope

oh definitely, i agree. i just hate when people focus on the most useless faults when it doesn’t even make sense. sure, yay dashing in was a dumb move, but where was the rest of the team to trade him? icy hiding in a smoke with his knife out, supamen can’t finish a guy who's 1hp, and there were so many more mistakes it’s laughable

but he didnt do it in the middle of a gunfight on site

you say this yet you turn a blind eye to icy entering site with his knife out

"is the sky blue?" ahh question

they're locked in bro, purpo joined

most of us thought he's joining G2 but now that caster bum took the spot

is bro changing regions??

They dropped Jonah for this bum??

G2 are announcing every hour, Valyn was just announced so in 2 hours we should be getting news on their 5th player

https://x.com/G2VALORANT/status/1988668341377200226

official announcement

If C9 don’t make it to the main event through play-ins, would that be grounds for an early roster change?

yeah but who announces their roster the day before. it makes sense to do it today no?

he's going korea to cast gc I believe

babybay makes sense but where did you get seven from? was he trialing?

Will G2 announce their new player today, since the Red Bull event starts tomorrow?

Curry’s performance at sen city was shit. He’ll seal the deal if he plays like that again at red bull

Individual performances were not bad, though. I only said slightly better igl-ing wise

Their best player was yay

So they dropped everyone except Supamen… aaand ended up with a roster that’s slightly better than before (better igl)

yep just gotta put that out there

Kalemat from Arabian Oud is great

Each morning I wake, I check right away,
No post, no hint, still no yay.
Days turn to weeks, my hope decays,
How long must I suffer this endless delay?

He's baiting. I think he definitely found a team.

is that confirmed?

cause I want them to succeed? everyone’s got their favourites. let people root for who they like, it’s not that deep.

Wouldn't it make sense for ENVY to test their Ascension roster against T1 teams in the SEN tourney to gauge their performance? That could play a role in whether ion/cane returns next year, no?

In turn, yay could be joining ENVY, but the announcement might come after the tournament, maybe around December

damn, what do you think of this team?

with bang joining 100t, does that lock 100t in?

most likely envy, announcement has to happen before thursday cause of the sen tourney

it has to be envy, so they will have to announce the new players before Thursday but I dont think they'll announce them the day before the tourney so most logical answer would be today

if yay is not announced today

tell that to the guy who had his fucking knife out during a bloodbath on A site pearl

damn thats the first Im hearing this. interesting.

envy has its headquarters in Texas tho

rlly?

bro baited us thinking he was in LA when all along.....
