That was because there was no VCT in Oceania, the only way for AU teams to compete was to move. Now they get LCQ spots but that was after Soniqs moved. BR has always had VCT slots

L bozo

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO

never been happier to be wrong

In CS HS% is percentage of kills that are HS, in Val its percentage of bullets hit that are HS, so the percentages are lower in Val. 40% is really good

takej actually got pretty good towards the end of Absolute's time in CS because I believe he graduated high school and could dedicate more time to the game. It just happened right before they switched to valorabt

200 ACS or around 110 ADR is average id guess. Of course the support oriented roles are more clearly defined in Val than CS so I think on smokes or initiator you could say that around 180 ACS and 100 ADR would be average.

Neth's raze util usage was really good, ade had an incredible amount of impact in post plants and of course the koreans performed very well. Fisker still clearly not very comfortable on skye but visibly better than vs gambit already.

レッツゴー CR!!

lmao 😎 ill be here all day with my tier 1 analysis, youre welcome guys

Solo brim smoke, munchkin jett, fisker skye. Whoever is coming up with these comps is insane lol. GG, this is 13-3 max if no pistol

Wokka was so good

Yes, apparently Chinese teams are not very good in scrims, KR pros say they are strategically very poor and struggle against SEA and T2 Korean teams. Not sure how they compare to Zeta and CR, but theyre probably on the same level. Ofc scrims dont mean much but very few international tourneys in asia

Hes been solo carrying these exact 5 players since 2018 already, hes used to it. Only towards the end of their time in CS did takej really improve and now hes decent in Val too

Marshal 950 credits btw lol

Zeta are decent, if heat doesnt go off I could see them winning. CR looks pretty bad though, HL isnt good either but I think they are still better than CR

200k Japanese viewers not even counting YT and Mildom when Zeta play. 0 chance they get their slots reduced, only expansion of total slots will ever happen

If they get hypnotized into thinking their executes are also retakes, they wouldnt lose a round

Praying youre right with Zeta

Tbf JP fans are insane and KRU are the only LATAM representative

Why CHOOSE attack lmao? Clearly had nothing ready, why not go defense, maybe win 8-4 and go into attack with some confidence and warmup

the only entertaining group

actually chances for some close games rather than blowouts

my brain says kru but my heart says zeta :(

HEAT HAHAHA

Chasing frags at 12-10 with knives and just threw the game

Bronzil staying bronzil

Prove it or i kill you

Gaules is the only official PT stream lmao. Go do your algebra 1 homework

Zeta need top 4 I think, if CR go 0-2, which they will

frustration/desperation. they were good but all the ones i listed were semi-pro or well known puggers at best when they were banned, and i guess they wanted to take that next step in their careers but didnt really think about the consequences of their actions. kids are just stupid, texta was 13 when he was vac banned and then became probably the biggest upcoming talent in AU CS, presumably legitimately lol. cant really blame a 13 year old for making rash decisions

babybay has been banned mid game in CS lol

also patitek, agm, em1lshein, tucks all vac/faceit banned. couple others too but when they were under 16, like texta and sayf

probably a lot more but they were irrelevant before val so i dont know if they have been banned

oxxgen is such a good name lmao. glad they went with that over oxygen fe or something similar

yeah, sharks won a map but imo they were actually worse than CR. they looked genuinely lost

game deficit kills me every time. still have no clue what the hell it is

tech pause every round or what? jesus

typically sells out in minutes, although they do have made-to-order merch too

10 years from now:

"why do my kids never come visit? :("

main stream gang

unfathomably based pickem actually

If I understand this correctly, the points stay with the org unless:

1. They swap out more than 3 players
2. They sell the team, along with the points, to another org.

Pretty sure that the points will stay with the players though. When LDM became Six Karma they kept 100 points from the first LATAM N masters, although that may have been an exception, as LDM owner didnt pay players and then disappeared.

Edit: yes, when ArkAngel disbanded and became Galaxy Racer, they kept 20 points from SEA Masters 1 too, even only keeping three players. The official rule is just worded oddly, makes it seem like the only way to transfer points is org -> org and not org -> FA -> org

I think something happened within the org to sour the relationship with the players. Best guess is that it turned out the visa issue was actually the fault of the org

There it is, hopefully they find new org for LCQ

do the points stay with the players or the org? there are rumors that the whole visa issue was actually the bren orgs fault and that they didnt go through the process in time or whatever, if they manage to get out of the org while keeping the points they might. by dead i meant the org side, not a disband with the players going their separate ways

jessievash, witz, and dubstep already removed all mention of bren from their socials lol. bren is dead probably

skye/sova + viper. id say 95% of my games are on these three agents

Diamond 1, 113 ADR as a jett main. Obviously boosted, this dude is genuinely fucking horrible at the game lmao

Separating JP/KR/SEA/SA/CH/OCE but not EMEA would be fucking insanity

Also 2 SA instead of 2 LATAM and 1 SA is crazy

Literally just happened in this event

https://www.vlr.gg/event/662/lvleague-japanbrawl/group-stage

Blue Bees were disqualified because their player "Jayder" turned out to be a known Japanese cheater called "okinawapex" using a fake name and voice changer (as people in JP scene were recognizing him). Not a big tourney or anything but pretty crazy.

Also there are undoubtedly cheaters playing in VCT open quals but dont make it far enough to be featured. I get the notifications that people i reported have been banned for cheating every once in a while in mid immortal. No doubt it happens at higher levels of play

VPN should get around school internet restrictions

severe entitlement stemming from lack of discipline from parents. how do you think they got so good in the first place lol. parents probably letting them play video games 6+ hours a day ever since they were 8

Valorant is pretty popular and Japanese people are addicted to twitter lol

Probably "smth 強い" lol. It means "strong" but they always spam it whenever someone makes a crazy play.

Why two Japanese teams playing first? Is it to accomodate japanese fans, because stream starts at like 9 pm there I think. Kind of odd to not just start with group A and go down the line
