I really wanted Akai too, man. Now there's no UAE rep at Ascension :(

I thought so too, but Sand is reportedly playing from Egypt so I'm not sure. If I had to guess it's only a LAN for playoffs

He fixed the format (and also everything else)

Maybe it's the 100 ping they're playing on

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There is a 6 minute video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuB2NeKL7NI

I dunno, bro. They earned Ascension; at least them freaking play in Ascension

He has military service

Fair enough

Leo Faria actually cooked for next year ngl. The only thing that's not an improvement is the classics are still classics

Someone's from 2023

Military service

I know a bit of türkçe

🤨
(I know ayaklar is feet so I can only infer)

As bad as LOUD were, I don't think getting top 4 in an 8 team tournament counts as a fluke

İyi geceler

I'm middle class. Here's a tip: don't gamble

TU will win it all

True, but that's Riot's fault :(

Says "NA_BEST_COUNTRY"

AMER is unoriginality

Very original idea

If only Ascent were like that

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO

It's determined by four core factors: DDR, ACS, KAST, and round win %

North vs. East
Germany vs. Portugal
Italy vs. Germany
Türkiye vs. Middle East

Which one's the most hype?

Any player with no haters. anything/0 = ∞

Less is NOT an igl

That would mean dropping people though :(

PEI is very very nice

Wait so they've more than doubled in the past year?

Just that + one of the Brazilian orgs is rumoured to be going international and signing NA players

FrosT leaked it as a rumour on the latest episode of Spike Talk

Dude we didn't even get to see LOUD's Abyss :(

That's probably the thing, yeah. They know they can get a flex player and they know they can get a coach, but they're not sure if they can find a better option for recon and they don't wanna risk making a move for worse.

Not at all, no

Fair enough, I guess. Ty for that

With how many freaking leaks we've gotten today I'm genuinely hoping this is bait like MiniBoo's was

You're telling me Titan Esports Club bought out KOI after they merged with Movistar AND also Mad Lions? That's diabolical

He edited those in after I sent the reply. Either way, though, what is the point?

What are you talking about? First of all, I'm thanking him for warning us about misinformation online. Second of all, I'm an immigrant to Canada so idk WHAT you're trying to accomplish by saying "you are USA dogs." And third of all, who the hell brought up fascism??

Oh, thank you for the update; I think I saw that before it was marked as misleading. That aside, though, C9 is still probably the most likely org to leave

We qualifying for Ascension with this one 🗣🔥

Good roster. Unfortunately, KOI Demon1

So I can't say ty for the heads up?

It's so joever 😔😔😔😔

Though I don't have a source, I have heard Cloud9 have an 80% stake sponsor that may file for bankruptcy soon. If that is the case, Cloud9 could be looking to leave the VALORANT scene, if not shut down altogether due to an incredible lack of funding.

Btw he did say it was NA and not Americas

Imagine if a country legitimately passed a law banning VLR

Ty for the heads up
