bro went to France and learned fashion

hard to say before all the rosters are confirmed but probably

M8, Loud, BME, EDG

who asked

Should the "no more than one import per team" rule apply to the server regions in addition to the VCT regions? By that I mean, should LATAM, BR, and KR be considered their own subregions under this rule?

I mean yeah but the pro base is low on good duelists right now. It'd kinda be a waste of his skill if he's signed for smokes.

that's what I'm saying. It's an asshole thing to only say something like that when there's nobody around to call you out on it

you think they wouldn't think twice before saying it around a black person if they ever met one?

lol this shit is only "normalized" around assholes no matter what culture

serial chokers, meh, "superteam" lol, negative karma org, vct 2025 winners

Wait is FPX dropping AAAY and Autumn? I'm devastated wtf

If all that is true then there ain't no way liquid is signing him. They're too big an org to do something that stupid

ok slow down a little bit there

M8 Potter would go crazy

wait I just realized GenG collapsing means FPX stocks are up LET'S GO

nt

Wait what

no it's better this way, let them get Verno and still flop otherwise they'll be coping about how they'd have won champs if SEN weren't snakes or something

won't you share your predictions then Nostradamus

read it again

but they didn't wym

but would Gambit have won if they weren't sleep deprived

This imaginary Gekko will have an easier time ranking up in Immortal where they actually help the team win than you will by only playing for stats. The RR curve values raw winrate much higher than individual performance at that level

If this guy is as hard a baiter on neon as the timeline suggests then maybe he should try playing for clips lol

methinks EDG takes Bangkok, one of the new EMEA rosters takes Toronto, and either krü or loud go on a winning streak to take Paris

2025 will be the one year things aren't all that surprising

Facts I feel like they'll get another trophy this year. We haven't seen a champs-winning team stay together so I think people are already forgetting them

Is it too late for M8 to take him back? I mean ik they're not really trying to be french anymore but damn

I think either we get a LATAM (so KRÜ) winner to keep the regional rotation of champs winners going or we get Loud or EDG running it back.

Why did M8 even drop him anyway

No way, Asia in this case would dwarf the other regions

We know

I said I would be happier not that it's not a skill issue

Tbh I feel like he'd get upset at the language barrier. It's already a problem for FPX with Autumn, and aspas seemed to be pretty vocal in the mid round on LEV

agreed, especially in valorant where it really hasn't been an issue

Anything exceedingly broken is only going to be around for like 1% of the game's history, and not worth the even less fun of someone getting their favorite agent banned randomly for the other 99%.

Also, "forcing" a random ranked player to learn a different agent is way overkill when something like 93% of the player base is below ascendant, where comps and agent pools really don't matter anyway.

Also true because I swear NA West is a ghost town in the morning queues and I'd never get to play Omen again after I hit one TP clip on a guy

What would be the point for ranked? Comps already don't mean shit, but now you want Reyna or Iso to be banned every other game because golds get tilted when an enemy drops more than 25?

I say this as someone who would be happier if I could ban Sova on every map.

Absolutely not. Teams are already burning out mid season coming up with strats, now imagine they have to be prepared both for whether their opponent bans Viper or bans Sova on Icebox. Valorant is just not that kind of game.

Not OP but it's prohibitively expensive and it's more like dozens of suburbs wearing a trench coat than an actual city. It can take literal hours to go places because of traffic, and it feels like a concrete liminal zone hell at times.

That being said, that's true of a lot of urban areas in the US. LA is just bigger.

hear me out maybe the key to LATAM's success is getting duelist IGLs

flair

Oh no I agree I just meant "political" undersells the situation

The hate boner for EG is crazy like peep the flair but there's at least 6 other orgs that deserve to be dropped first and also they literally won champs 2023??

agreed but "political stuff" is one way to put it...

There is a user keeping track of all official changes here: https://www.vlr.gg/399506/cloudberrys-rostermania-thing

Of course there are a lot of rumors and leaks as well but those kinds of things literally change week by week

loud

did we watch the same games bro lost so many clutches this year

but he is good at holding down site I think

I thought v1nny will IGL? but yeah agreed

Sources: ZETA DIVISION has reached a verbal agreement with FENNEL to acquire their trio — Xdll, SyouTa, and CLZ to their VCT roster.

The team is set to debut on October 19th at the Red Bull Home Ground APAC Play-in, held in their hometown Tokyo, Japan.

It's because LATAM is an entire region, not just a country, and now it's mostly only represented by KRÜ in tier 1
