I thought that was the left half of the Gen.G logo for a second
Oh no, I'm not recommending this schedule at all. This is the one they currently have. They spend 3 months doing each stage, run 3 stages, also run a kickoff to start the year, run all the offseason-esque tournaments between splits, and then Champs only lasts 10 days. They 100% need to fix this. I say run kickoff in February, then stage 1 from mid-March to mid-May, stage 2 from early June to August, then Champs in late September after Ascension ends. If they want to do a stage 3 for promotion/relegation like they do for tier 2 then they can probably do that in December after the World Cup ends
What flag does VLR not have, by the way? I've seen very obscure island flags so I didn't think there were entire countries not added yet
Riot being the TO for this is good (frankly I don't think any other TO would make much sense anyway).
As for GC, they can probably have Champs done before October if they optimize the schedule. Depending on the region, kickoff is currently anywhere from January to March, stage 1 anywhere from February to May, stage 2 anywhere from May to August, and stage 3 from September to October, with random tournaments sprinkled here and there and everywhere, all leading up to Champs which lasts a grand total of 10 days. It's a problem and they need to fix it, even if they don't run a World Cup
Also you've had 3 different flags since we started this mini thread 😂
"Moist Esports is an American esports organization owned by Charles "MoistCr1TiKaL" White. Moist Moguls is the VALORANT team of Moist Esports, formed by the acquisition of team Team BreakThru after the announcement of American streamer and Mogul Moves founder Ludwig Ahgren joining Moist Esports as a co-owner in January 2023." (https://liquipedia.net/valorant/Moist_Moguls)
My guess is that, since Ludwig is a co-owner of Moist now, Moist and Mogul must have merged (kind of like KOI and Mad Lions, to some extent) but I'm not sure
Those are fair points. It doesn't really have to be that serious, though. It could just have the team prep of a regular off-season event, only with more teams and therefore more games across more days. The one thing that would probably be affected by this is trials, since this would likely take up at least three weeks when accounting for travel time. I think a pretty simple solution to that is to lift the October 7 date for contracts to end, so that if players want to participate they can probably be signed to a team by the time this comes around in November (I'm assuming November would be the best time for this as it would give players over a month after the tournament ends to prep for the year with their team).
I'd be cool with it. If anything, if he's not on the roster next year, then this tournament is somewhat wasted potential to build synergy with their true fifth
Nice flair
Here's my prediction
In 2023 it was Moist
In 2024 it was Moist x partner #1
Therefore in 2025 it will be Moist x partner #1 x partner #2
Partner #1 was an org that had their own NA Challengers team the previous year, which ended 7-8th
That means Moist's partner #2 will be one of the teams which ended 7-8th in 2024
Moist's partner #2 will therefore be either SaD Esports or FLUFFY AIMERS
In conclusion, in 2025, MxS will become either MSS or MSF
Thank you
Lava bending is very cool. It's like fire but you don't hate yourself
No but I do have 48 friends who play Valo
Prancer's the real flex ngl
Happy preemptive existence anniversary
I will pound your bones into a dust with a plastic spoon
A great knife skin for less than $20 is CRAZY
Neptune Vandal for the price of a deluxe as well, damn
I would LOVE to see this kinda thing, man. Just think of all the rosters and head-to-heads we've never seen before. Would also have the most national pride of any VALORANT tournament ever
You could, but if you're only taking smokes into account then I think Vince is a little bit betterthan al0rante. Correct me if I'm wrong, though

Damn didn't realize ANGE1 was this good
I like water the most, but all things considered I'd probably be earth/metal
You're calling Cypher a creep when his entire persona is built around the fact that he lost his beloved and he's trying to find her even though she's probably dead
If you're talking about this episode, it's because they've already heard him talk about it before. The first rant from Bren on the topic was a few weeks back
Smite Odin is honestly hella underrated, especially considering the price. Go for it if you actually use the odin and have the funds for it
"those american casters"
Isn't that just Bren though
So you're saying they'd ace clutch but it wouldn't be shown on broadcast
I'm sorry, I forgot. Already at 32 teams unfortunately but if you have a roster in mind I can maybe run a sort of showmatch with the Philippine team (I'll figure smth out)
Opinions: to each their own, as long as they're respectful about it
Baits: none (if baits are required, then wholesome baits like n1cf and CanadaMan)
Flag: country of origin/current residence (though now that I think about it, country of heritage could be kinda fire)
Flair: doesn't matter
UPDATE
Still filling in the teams. I've filled in everything up to and including Morroco.
Didn't realize this earlier but since I'm taking stats from VLR, tier 2 players have higher ratings and stats on average. So there could be some weird superteams. Mongolia looks really good, for one.
So yeah, the simulation's not gonna be 100% accurate, but it should still be hella entertaining :)
I like that. Although I think in this case is to simply take out heat for Zap as a 1 for 1. cauanzin can play whatever initiator Zap doesn't, and Zap can play Omen on double controller maps if he needs to (e.g. Lotus)
I had him originally but had to take him out because his roles clash with luckeRRR. I guess I could take him out and put BennY back in as igl... hmm
waddle played initiator for DSYRE this year. That being said, you do have a good point, but idk which roster I prefer
I like the idea but would you rather see seasoned pros or young talent here? What do you think?
