THEY HAVE 5 LOCKED BROSKI TENZ ISNT GETTING DROPPED

-> reporters don't leak it because it is "funny to see reactions"

-> It wouldn't be "funny" to see people's reactions if Yay moved regions or got the bag from like Bleed type org, everyone would just move on with their lives
Probably going to be an NA team then
-> 100T is locked into Cryo
-> G2 is locked into Leaf
-> EG is locked into Demon1 (I think)
-> NRG is a potential option, but literally only because optic core nostalgia

-> C9 is the only other NA team

C9 would be incredibly ironic, as they literally dropped BOTH Yay and Vanity, and would potentially be resigning them.
This would for sure be hilarious to see people's reactions, and it makes sense because C9 has like Oxy as their duelist :skull:

Yay to C9 confirmed by me the best reporter in valorant history

Go to 3:08 and watch what TMV says when i say it i get shit on but when he says it its a real good point 💀

chamber
raze
harbor
viper
skye
go into a custom this comp cooks hard af

i will give you demon1 aspas and zekken but TENZ????????????? and i think cryo clears leaf individually his team is just garbage compared to c9

Easy solution, riot forces the contract to make it so that if the 5 + coach are not picked up by the org and kept for the whole year, they will get kicked out of partnerships on the spot. Give the spot to the players/coach and make it so that if they are not all kept on the roster then they will lose their spot (terminating the contract and basically throwing the org out of the league)

it feels like BcJ is less proven right now than Zellsis and also Zellsis brings a vibe with him that isn't really matched by my goat bcj (as sad as it is to say)

BUT IF BCJ CAN JOIN THEN YEAH BABY

if 100t/nadeshot buy into FNS (they should)
anything that FNS wants is possible but

FNS - senti/2nd smokes
Cryo - chamber/jett (awper)
s0m - smokes
NiSMO - flex/raze
Zellsis - initiator

Huge pop off potential from every single player on this team so firepower will not be an issue
Zellsis goes back to 2022 and goes back to initator
But most likely 100t wont do shi and will just be mid and no org will pick up FNS/s0m or FNS's system

maybe not for 2024 cuz champs was just in LA, but i'm hoping that sometime in 2025 whether it be a Masters or Champs I want an East Coast USA champs (TD Garden/Boston takeover) or NYC which would be awesome for the east coasters cuz it feels like every time theres something big in the usa its always on the west coast

flat from the trophy, and also Gambit got 2nd too

We just saw Fnatic get dropped from the tournament, and I think there is no argument to be made that Fnatic was the BEST team of the year for 2023, but they fell short at Champs like the two best teams before them. In 2021 (this could be maybe debatable) I think Gambit was the best team of the year but just fell flat at the finals of Champs 21', and you could say the same for anyone who (mistakenly) believes SEN to be the best team of 2021. In 2022, Optic was the best team of the year, and once again fell flat at Champs 22. Could there be something to being the favorite/top dog coming into Champs, with all the pressure of everyone trying to take you down at the last event of the year, falling flat every single time?

schedule wise it should be in EU every year, but i just want an east coast tourney in america at some point (ascension 24 in boston?) but hopefully EU champs and masters

dont give me hope please with the - marved and + yay

Bro i aint sayin that something popping the fuck off with that 4k on pearl with that shorty isnt AMAZING but it feels like the games arent as good as they were last year like i want a fpx drx game again please

It feels like this year the quality of matches are a lot worse than last year, and the competitiveness of the overall game has gone down a lot. Last year the top 8 were full of matches like XSET vs LEV, DRX vs FNC, and even the group stages had some crazy games with FUR vs DRX, and the 100T vs FNC. It feels like this year all the games have just been very one sided, and no teams are really close to each other. The only memorable group match that I can think of is the NRG stomping and even that wasn’t even a good match because NRG just rolled over and died. Last year it felt like every single team had a chance to make a run at the title, but it just doesn’t feel the same this year. Maybe it’s just the nostalgia talking, but idk. Anyone else feel this way?

NRG cope is CRAZY and I am a fenis lover

C9, although often mistaken for Cloud9, actually stands for Choker9

The roots of this org start all the way back in LOCK//IN, where after dismantling DRX, the Pacific Kings on Pearl, the team threw away Haven, and lost the final map, Icebox, in an embarrassing 13-2 fashion.

Moving on to the VCT Americas Split, Choker9 played very well in the regular season, but in the Playoffs, they revealed their true colors, and lost to a team that barely scraped into playoffs in an embarrassing 5-13, 2-13 fashion. Their legacy would not be tainted, as in the lower bracket, in a match to redeem themselves to go to Masters Tokyo, they would go on to win the first map, but would lose their map pick of Lotus, which they were 5-0. As per the name, they proceeded to Choke, and lost the final map 12-14, losing the chance to go to Masters Tokyo.

That brings us to today, in the VCT Americas Last Chance Qualifier, in which Choker9 could not stop themselves, and against an 0-9 regular season team, KRU, they won the first map 13-4, then lost Pearl in what should have been a 13-0, and choked in the upper finals to a Map 3 Haven. In the lower finals, against Leviatan, it seemed that all would be perfect. C9 was up 2 maps, and on Map 3, split, they had a 6-6 half on attack, where the map was defender sided. Surely they would not choke this away, and the curse would finally be lifted! C9 went down in Split 7-12, but managed to rally back to get to 11-12, where they inevitably choked away the last round, and lost 11-13. As in true Choker9 fashion, they could not escape the curse, and ended up getting reverse sweeped in a BO5, something which (ironically) DRX has been able to do before.

That was the tragic tale of Choker9, and the curse that haunts the org.
