muito obrigado parceiro, estranho mesmo

ai é foda, deixo o esquema mastigado e a glr num consegue ler uma pagina mano?

cant, im a natural yapper

remain ignorant then

Pancada is insane

Too many Emea fans have been going around claiming that language barriers are not a valid argument, since "Fnatic has other nationalities".
Lets look at the stats

Swedish English Literacy = 86% ~
Finland English Literacy = 70% ~
Latvia English Literacy = 26% ~
Ukraine English Literacy = 23% ~
Turkish English Literacy = 16% ~
Russian English Literacy = 5.48%

So not only do the majority of European countries indeed have a higher familiarization with the english language overall, the only country that doesnt break 2 digits in percentage, is Russia, but if we evaluate the Valorant ecosystem specifically, what servers do we have?:

Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Warsaw, Stockholm, Paris, Istanbul

From the experiences of Youtubers, Pro-players and streamers, we can define that the majority of these servers communicate in English most of the time. Why? Because there are too many nationalities for a common experience to arise, therefore a "common" language is defined. ENGLISH
Its also important to mention that that depending on your location you can switch between these servers at will. You are Region Locked yes, but not server locked.

bUt ThAtS rAnKeD WhAt AbOuT tHe PrO sCeNe???

Well, considering that even before the EMEA Franchise League, there were still "international" leagues that granted spots at Masters/Champions, we can safely define AGAIN, that the multitude of Nationalities DEMANDS a common Language, with the exception of the French region and Turkish region, which cultivated enough talent to field a full team. However the French team in question is made, from players who were part of EMEA-Style International teams Anyway. Also the French English Literacy is 56%~.

But enough about Fraudmea, lets talk about the subjects of subjugation, LATAM and BR.
Now, lets see, what are the servers these regions have?
LATAM - Miami / Mexico City / Santiago
BR - São Paulo

But wait, 2/3 of the LATAM servers dont even reach LATAM properly? hell miami is in the US, and Mexico is Central America... which only leaves us with Santiago.
And BR only has São Paulo, are these regions Server Locked? yes, if your account was either made in Santiago or Sao Paulo, you cannot play in other servers.
Which means not only most BR and LaTAM players dont interact with english speaking countries, the languages spoken in game are the same as the country of server origin.
Hell, the LATAM and BR players barely interact, with the ocasional LATAM player with disgusting ping on a BR server.
But thats not all, lets look at events, Before VCT Americas, the Tournaments were separate, BR fought itself for a spot and LATAM fought itself for a spot. with LCQ being when these teams would face each other in a non-masters/champions event.
Now looking at Off-Season tournaments, not only are half of them either FULL BR or FULL LATAM, the other half simply Doesnt have english speaking teams.
The only one i could find is Superdome Latam 2023, THIS YEAR.
So, not only does LATAM and BR mostly only play themselves and each other, outsider teams simply did not express interest in interacting with national teams.
Most BR/LATAM teams will only interact with english speaking players ON INTERNATIONAL EVENTS AND BOOTCAMPS.
And im not even mentioning English Literacy (Average of under 3%, with Argentina being the only outliar), you can visit the biggest cities in these countries and find less than 10 people that actually speak the language of English.

In Conclusion; not only are the Ranked and Professional ecosystems COMPLETELY different, with EMEA having the requirement of english as a common language, and BR/LATAM not interacting with it at all. The Levels of literacy are also worse in the South American region, meaning the pool of players with english as a second language is incredibly smaller.
EMEA needs English, BR/LATAM doesnt.

A Helpful note is that usually EMEA players have different backgrounds, meaning, everyone communicates in a "broken english" or at the same level, there is fewer chances of power dynamics, while on a team like Sentinels, the majority of the team is fluently speaking, with 2 teammates who are learning as they go, even if not intended, the fluent players operate on a "higher placement" the Brazilians dont need to learn enough english to talk to other english speakers at the same level as them (EMEA team format), they need to learn while the other half of the team not only already knows english, they have been communicating in it since they were born, there are expressions, sounds and intonations that to a fluent english speaker are obvious, but to learning speakers are still new. You need to remember, they havent experienced the same culture you did, to expect them to think the same is asinine.
Summary of this Note: EMEA players are usually at the same "level" of english, while Sacy and Pancada are operating in a team were they are the only outsiders.

THIS IS NOT A SENTINELS SPECIFIC CASE, NZR HAD THE SAME ISSUE WHEN PLAYING WITH FURIA, HIS PERFORMANCE SKYROCKETED WHEN HE JOINED LEV, ALTHOUGH HIS DIFFICULTIES WERE NOT AT THE SAME LEVEL AS SACY AND PANCADA. SAADHAK IS AN OUTLIAR IN THIS RESEARCH

i can make that "sacrifice"

Yes, since Fnatic's mix of players, entered the scene NEEDING to speak english, while BR/LATAM players can go their entire careers not even needing to learn spanish most of the time

EMEA is not a good argument
The players HAVE to comm in english or else there is no scene, europe also has a much higher english literacy rate. while LATAM and BR dont, you can walk the streets of brazil, see a thousand different people, and only one of them will speak english at all.
EMEA and BR/LATAM are completely different places

he isnt fluent my G, his english is awful

You dont learn to be fluent in a year all while competing at the HIGHEST level of pro-play

FADE is dogshit??? she has two partial drones, a scan AND a movement denying ability

I Hope so, i want my pookiebear back

THE NA FROGS DONT VALUE YOU
WE DO, COME BACK TO US, MIBR AND FURIA ARE RIGHT THERE
HELL, ELEVATE SOME TRASH ASS TIER 2 TEAM TO ASCENSION
PLEASE MY KING, WE MISS YOU SO MUCH
JUST SAY THE WORD TO FROD AND BZKA AND THEY WILL DROP RGL AS FAST AS YOU CAN SAY SMOKE

gabxx got top 4 in an offseason tounament, i think he might make it to Ascension

The one they lost 2x0 to team liquid??

Different Regions + Emea players all NEED to speak english to even play.
While the BRs went their entire career without needing to, its a question of conditioning, and they havent been conditioned

i keep saying its the language barrier, it doesnt matter if he learns it, he doesnt THINK in english, he thinks in portuguese THEN needs to translate it, than say it. he is not fluent, and both pancada and sacy need to realize they will not be succesfull in a non-br team

bro why yall still believe in scrims
LOUD was literally losing every scrim when playing other teams in 2022
they also kept losing scrims this year
tbh i think its better to be losing scrims

BR Casters Tixinha and Spacca were creaming at the sight of his util usage
they complimented him the entire ascent.
goated sova apparently

ZETA is picking Carlão up as one of their new coaches???
(for those who dont know; Carlão was the coach this year for Furia)
What the hell are these guys cooking?? Im not against it, it just seems like such a random ass pick up Lmao
KKKKKKK

Bro legit said that Sentinels aint as grippy as Loud

PEEEPOO
YOURE BACK!

Thats the argument, Tenz is gonna look like the weak link cuz everyone else is too goated, but he will be doing his job well and even shining
problem is he will get some shameful clips to "keep him low rated"

i wanna be mad but bro has an 100t flair 💀
bro couldnt win against MIDBR 😭😂

One highlight aint enough lil bro

Bro might make sen work

thank you for having good interpretation skills

no way a KC flair is talking💀

Bro is gonna be the Tuyz of Sentinels 💀
Will perform but be consistently outshined and collect a few embarassing clips of him

Gunshot sound

Im so happy Saadhak is now the undisputed TOP 1 IGL

Ardiis outlived this mf💀

Delusional_Potter_Fan

he is a med student????????????????
Bro is being sucessfull either way 😭😭

FURIA SAIU DO TORNEIO COM MEDO DE XIT

Edit your post with this lil bro, you can thank me later

O Lado bom desse sofrimento de agora é que por ficar mais "incerto" os salários e situações financeiras das orgs, acabou lentamente enforcando os paneleiros do cenário.
como muitas orgs sairam do cenário, muitas fraudes e paneleiros perderam o "networking" deles, perderam o poder de entrar em times na base da amizade.
podemos ver isso pelo fato de muitos novos jogadores apaixonados pelo cenário estão tendo sucesso nesse MEG
XIT, Stellae e Mixx tiveram bons resultados num campeonato com times de franquia.
Até jogadores de longa data aprisionados por incompetência de orgs conseguiram melhores oportunidades (Cortezia, Axeddy, CTC)

Espero que Xit, RED, e Mixx amassem no ascensions, seja lá qual deles for.

its cuz none of you actually like discussing the game, every in depth post is met by "aint reading allat"

Its because they were using the tournament as trainning for the lineup, as a way to "settle in" the strats and players, but eith xand gone, even if they stayed in the tournament they wouldnt get profit from it, maybe some prize money, but they would be loosing precious time since now they need to find a new player for the tournament that matters (VCB) so its better to forfeit to go fix up their team

get out the alt congo1

Yoru + Iso could workout really well
Astra / Yoru / Fade / Viper / Cypher

Both work as initiators so it would essentially be a triple initiator comp with a double smoke AND a Sentinel, with the benefits of the selfish playstyle of duelists.
