I wouldn't mind him being picked up without being the igl.
From what i've watched (albeit not that much) his mechanics and decision making is very strong.

I wouldn't mind him being picked up without being the igl.
From what i've watched (albeit not that much) his mechanics and decision making is very strong.
Why is "nepotism" seen as a terrible thing in roster construction?
Short trial periods are not enough to properly assess players, you cannot assess how they will react when losing big games or longer form issues that arise in team environments.
Yes i understand that "mechanical better players" may be left out but we have seen time and time again that team dynamics are key.
Nepotism can only take you so far in a competitive space, you will need some expertise to stay/progress.
Do we know what VCL Leviatan acad will compete in?
Kaajak never even played with itopata.
Plus hes coming to the biggest team in EU.
Yeah its tough although there are some good T2 duelists available.
Filu could slot in nicely but some other teams might be more appealing to him.
Lime aswell.

MIEDO?
Not gonna lie he's probably retired.
Jakee is so locked in on icebox.
It's not necessarily a bad thing.
On attack as a duelist you are more likely to die when entering first.
As long as you are making space and comming important information it should be fine.
Maybe trying to coordinate more utility to clear certain angles could help.
Not from SPG, I'm talking about Korean valorant as a whole.
Drx have found alot of success through their academy project.
Nah.
The real valorant talent in korea have started to emerge.
Academy projects have started to bear fruit.
Spg are the real deal.
His ult. (calls in an airstrike to a position)
He only got the ult because he isolated that last kill in showers.
Where are you finding the rulebook for the playins then?
Yeah but the confusion came from the fact the official rule book (atleast for the open qualifier) stated you have to be 18+ to compete.
Not to mention the faq for the event itself says you have to be 18+.

I mean the only possibility is that they will just change the rules for the closed qualifiers. (or i just dont understand the rules)
They cooked rocketbullets for this lol.
But also how are sentinels allowed to bend the rules?
The amount of money it would've cost to get chronicle and leo to liquid wouldve crashed the economy.
The NA scene is so tough right now.
Too few slots with too many players trying to make it.
Not to mention the state of tier 2.
Well they managed to beat scarz so thats cool.
I disagree with the boaster swap.
He often struggles trying to anchor.
Also his macro utility usage is very good, playing omen and astra allows him to dictate the game more easily.
He said : People were threatening to dox him unless he left valorant twitter, dming him pictures of his house and sending him death threats.
Also something else interesting in central asia:
esavgabin (former Reckoning & LGD esports head coach) has been coaching a team in uzbekistan.
https://x.com/esavgabin/status/1834647223235129453
Mongolia were in the Challengers Türkiye region.
What I am saying is that recently they have been moved to asia pacific, but this change hasn't been reflected in the public rulebook.
Kazakhstan should still be counted as emea.
As per the 2024 EMEA Rulebook the emea competitive region is defined as:
Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Greece, Holy See (the), Hungary, Iceland, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lebanon, Libya, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Monaco, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Oman, Palestine, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Russia, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan, Iran
--- What i will say is that this definition is slightly outdated, since mongolia should have apac residency. But the likelihood is that nothing else has changed.
Well at the beginning of valorant he coached saadhak + sacy at Masters Reykjavik (a tier 1 event)
faithz0r back in tier 1!!!!!
2G actually played this playoffs perfectly.
Hid the haven comp until it was needed.
Upper bracket advantage was huge versus m80.
Not to mention everyone just playing very well.
Well 2game had a 18 day bootcamp in frankfurt leading up to the event.
So the org does atleast try to support their team.
This is the first time 2game have played haven in an official.
Although the recent map vetoes by 2g indicate they were prepared.
Just gotta pray that m80 have something cooked up.
This is the most important map of the year for m80.
Because they do not play bind what so ever.
If they lose this it might just be over.
They wanted:
A duelist that, no questions asked, will entry in and be a part of the system.
A reliable anchor and extremity player for the sentinel role (leaf)
Kr1stal is so good.
XLG will have a tough choice picking between him and rarga.
Thanks for the insight.
The multi year lease is probably the most sensible way of doing it.
Reading more into the announcements and articles, it seemed like they wanted to slowly ramp up the quantity of events to something in the region of 20/30 a year (like a football club).
Translating the success of KC3 into more intimate and frequent events is a unique prospect.
It will be interesting to see what sought of events/games they are able to host.
It's a really cool project and a big investment for kc.
Although I'm curious to know how they are planning to use the arena?
Atleast Navi is Happy watching this.
Not 100%. but I wouldnt be surprised if they are in talks.
Kaajak, his agent and cojo have denied it.
I like the pickup, robbie has a good track record in tier 2.
That dsyre roster that played in dach was something special.
His run in portugal was also solid and more recently the joblife roster which dominated france.
From all the reports i looked at nothing stated that Saadhak and kru had reach a verbal agreement.
There were comments from Lembo and saadhak himself that there were offers from multiple other regions.
The deal itself with Kru was deemed to be in a more advanced phase. (bruno povoleri saadhak & kru)
I think most people just thought this deal would go ahead because it was the most logical.
