I don't personally have an issue with them, but usually people mention things like authoritarian rule and/or corruption within the systems of power, religious dissimilarities, and having oil as their biggest industry by far

There's no shot you can't come up with anything better than that in 5 full minutes
I've literally never heard that before tbh
The people that are against it have differing reasons, but the most common one I see is the fact that it's funded (in part or in whole) by the government of Saudi Arabia
Even if there's no rules against it, it'd be a blatant violation of competitive integrity. "We're going to share our insights in order to benefit our mutual parties and gain an unfair advantage over others"... this is one of the reasons same-org teams aren't allowed to compete in tier 1 together.
Downvoting this thread to keep the natural balance in order
Oh my bad, I misinterpreted the original question
The stat you're looking for would be ESR (entry success rate). Not sure where you'd find it for VCT but I think I've seen it in a Platoon video or two. It's not an uncommon stat, though... it's on VALORANT Tracker, at least
TenZ is North American so he caters to that audience; he's flashier as an individual player on average so people like watching him more; also the fact that he's a popular streamer (in English) means he has a sizeable fanbase to begin with
aspas is 100% more popular to South Americans and/or people who speak Portuguese
Not possible, they're both from Türkiye so you can't have both at Ascension (assuming we're still using last year's format to some extent, since this year's hasn't been announced yet to my knowledge)
Your first two points are essentially "make VALORANT less like VALORANT and more like Counter Strike." Why don't you just play Counter Strike? Also how would that make the game more "interesting" anyway?
No problem! :)
The data's right here on VLR: https://i.imgur.com/QSR5ACs.png
Also, caveat for Brimstone... his pickrates look like this a lot of the time
Pickrates in every region (Stage 1 - Americas, China, EMEA, Pacific)
Omen - 48, 49, 63, 63
Viper - 24, 35, 38, 38
Astra - 32, 18, 21, 17
Brimstone - 10, 19, 6, 11
Harbor - 8, 2, 4, 1
Clove - 4, 0, 1, 0
"Karmine Corp's net worth is estimated to be between €40 million and €50 million."
Billions lmao
Idk can't tell, I've been lagging off the face of the earth for six months
Makes sense, I guess. Feels more like barbed wire than actually grass to me but I'll give it to ya
Very solid list, I agree with most of these
Potential changes:
Jett - normal/flying (it just makes sense to me idk)
Raze - fire/fighting (not sure what the ground is meant to be tbh)
Sage - ice/fairy (self-explanatory)
Vyse - steel (I don't think anything other than steel makes sense)
Waylay - fighting/fairy (I don't see a world where she isn't fighting)
Of course Leo isn't marketable right now... how do you expect him to be, when he's been out of it for a full year?
He was very mainstage in 2023 and prior, though. I feel like you should be aware of that already
That's twice this year already NRG's had to make roster moves due to a "difference in opinion" on how to approach the game.
I don't like theorizing about this kind of thing but could FiNESSE's approach just not be up to date? And if it isn't, can they realistically expect to find a new coach who can match him?
This is an uncharacteristic split from him. He usually looks a lot sharper
He did have that one 20/2 map but that aside something's off about him lately
If we're not allowed to judge then what's the point of making this thread?
W for DSYRE/DNSTY but what the heck do they have an academy for then
Nobody would ever willingly choose this 😭😭
Yes (I choose to queue on a laptop that can't go 36 seconds without having an existential crisis)
This is purely theoretical but Yoru would've gone HARD in a Harbor Viper meta
Yes, they made top 8 at Champions with a much worse roster than this year
Your argument is that GC is dead this year. Why would last year matter?
Their core (enerii Alexy Kamiyu) is on Falcons Vega now
Their team is REALLY good. They kept Mary and madv from last year's roster, and signed enerii, Alexy, and Kamiyu from Xipto. Very easily the closest thing to a super team GC has right now
For the record, they went unbeaten in SEA Split 1. And by unbeaten, I mean they didn't drop a single map until the Grand Final, where they won in a convincing 3-1
Nobody's talking about it because Tejo's frankly a bigger problem. At this point, Deadlock gravnet might also be a bigger problem than Neon slide
My favourite was ZETA DIVISION GC, but they've disbanded unfortunately. My top 3 are now Karmine Corp GC, DRX Changers, and Team Falcons Vega (in some order)
vo0kashuFan not adding vo0kashu is kinda crazy
Yes. And they won convincingly, even with their Killjoy dropping less than 90 ACS
The idea that solo Harbor is inherently bad needs to be phased out, man. It isn't... it just has some drawbacks
+Governer? On purpose?
Jokes aside he said he's not in a good state right now so it doesn't make sense to sign him. Let him rest... he'll back to Challengers NA next year
Mb, "I have to watch it" comes off as you're being forced to watch it
Elektronomia - Summersong 2020
Vandal: Imperium (also have Prime... my favourite is Champions 2023 but I don't have it)
Phantom: Mystbloom (used to be Sentinels of Light, which I still use every once in a while)
You said "Ethan igl was more successful than FNS igl." Even if you omitted anything outside of NRG, 2023 was still their best year and that was FiNESSE
