keep in mind bang did this while playing handicaped

asuna is his teammate AND he played for 100 thieves

zander had a Tier 2 superteam and still couldnt do it when the lights where shining

i know my tenz replacement

@robmoore if youre feeling charitable

https://gofund.me/f17021bb

are you pulling offseason games lol

tier 2 isnt an imaginary line, its a skill gap and competition difference, it existed before franchising, and yes zander was tier 1! he was ass!

what you're saying is the premier league and championship is an imaginary line, its not

G2 also made changes from their T2 run team to get to that amazing run

why doesnt talon want sscary

bigstic and all other hardstuck t2 players shouldnt get another chance!

paIN?

ive also been talking shit about bang so thats how you know im 10000% objective,

you simply cant call a player in tier 2 going -14 to 2game better than someone whos going +20 against masters winners?

its not hard to comprehend the level difference, zander has to PROVE hes even a t1 player, because bro hasnt even earned it via ascension

but also flag + flair so i expect your dickriding

according to one has the sen job and one has the 100t job

its not about that its because gambit was closely affiliated with the government iirc

virtus and team spirit arent as close

rrq has been committed to building a decent roster tho

they did prove they are the second best bro

there was a losers bracket too so no fluke, boom is by every way you can measure it the second best t2 team of 2024 in APAC

absolutely no reason for riot to spend money to bring everyone back for a lan, especially when lots of them have stopped playing

bang is a better player visually and his numbers in tier 1 are more impressive than zanders in tier 2

even if you take zanders 1.30 rating in NA t2, he put up like 1.09 in stage 2 and ascension, really not all that

bang is playing against aspas and zander playing against aspas from wish dantesdeus

LOL man this is so disrespectful

for context bang is better in T1 than zander is in T2

not how it works

sen is one of the poorest orgs by net worth but have the biggest buyout in valorant so far

no way

i see why they had to change shit up then probably wanna secure things

not tryna be rude but why is lev trying to gentrify their org lol

wym they should be going back down after this season no matter what no? is there a chance they stay if they perform?

riot prob said if they ditch trying to be french they get to stay in t1 lol

i thought it was already reported m8 was going to continue to partner with Riot even after the 2 years but honestly i forgot

although i do think m8 was fairly uncompetitive this year so idk if its guaranteed for M8 to become partnered

shopify is a good shout tbf didnt think of that dont think they should pickup m80, youd want an org that is able to splash on moves if theyre available

id say tsm and G2 should be partners if c9 leaves aswell as EG but c9 might focus on valorant more if theres better roster opportunities

same thing as bleed

although i think bleed musta done some fucked up shit to be removed right now, or maybe its because bleed isnt a partner who knows

team spirit clears anyways

what do the partners look like for 2027

EMEA - pretty good except BBL.- I think M8 will be a riot partner going forward over BBL and apeks might be,, if not theres loads of stable vintage CS orgs that would likely be ready for valorant. I dont see BBL recovering at all

APAC - from what i understand most of the orgs here are solid, just from what I know about profit margins and viewership, if global fail to make playoffs boom might be the new partner, since riot seems to approve of them

China - cant speculate here, i do know chinese orgs tend to be government funded or funded by billionaires. and overall chinese esports is far more stable in other esports .

Americas - Kinda obvious that EG will be put down, C9 is arguable, I'm going to assume they are good with financials, just arent budgeting anything for valorant atm, MiBR might be fucked based on competitiveness, other than that I see G2 replacing EG

im not totally sure if riot will have more partners come then, they should, All three regions would benefit from having 15 partners honestly, theres good enough teams and enough talent to fill them in all regions.

they go back down next year

same amount of ascension slots, 2025 winners will take their place

m8 aspas like i said

usually id say feeling bad for a gamer who makes 6 figures is weird af but lets be real

derke not only was the best duelist over the last 4 years ( he has been world class since the game came out essentially, and only underperformed a bit during chamber meta)

but like the way theyre abusing his contract is crazy, nothing u can do tho

this looks bad for fnatic tho, i cant imagine a world where players dont learn from derkes mistakes here

m8 aspas trials rn

cant even bait with fake aspas rumors because this BUM made goatspas hate him

just a worse drx

rather teams be ambitious, go big or go home

bro boom wins both sides of the argument lol

they both EARNED it this year in ascension, as the second placed team

and apparently they were the team riot trusted to replace bleed last year if things went wrong, so they have good financial or are stable

i think its some deep shit bleed got going on tbh

prob an investigation and riot will have an official statement with everything and just ban them

cant just be failure to pay, the org itself has a lot of money, not just the owners

most likely they bribed or something or went behind an orgs back to negotiate with a player

i see, riot just rate boom as a organization

fairs then

hes better on flex and doesnt want to play duelly but have at it

op literally just posted the OG thai roster too idk why ur sucking primmies willy so hard

i replied to a comment that said g2 shouldve had egs spot from the start you knobhead

just say kick c9 or some shit

primmie isnt a duelist bro, let it go lmfao

Patiphan Primmie and sscary are the world class thai players no reason to not have all three

They're one of four teams to win champs????

EG in one year acomplished more than the guard core and G2 combined in 3 years, hate on them all you want, you can even say relegate them but G2 should not have been picked over EG

yeah i get it but if your partners CEO is affiliated with a human trafficker its hard to sell a product to kids

G2 had to do a lot of cleaning up after that incident, in every esport

tf does liking patiphan have to do with primmie lol

yall do know EG won the first champs of the franchising era lol

mfs think riot inviting them was a mistake, they were literally the best team itw?

G2 also had a spot and got kicked for political stuff

your post just doesnt make too much sense

scarz is bad rn, and its not supposed to be a fair thing, this isn't some representation or we have to have a MYSG team, Bleed won through a tournament, its not like the partner teams that were chosen to represent their parts of the region

BOOM is the most recent second best APAC T2 team, it literally makes perfect sense, as for the players, only sscary and crazyguy actually won ascension

i think youre just slow..

GE has higher peak viership than DFM in valorant bro, if you wanna relegate teams im cool with that but theres worse than GE

GE got some wins in apac, mibr had like one win over both splits lol

other way around lol koi is bigger than dfm and mibr in valorant

pretty sure GE has better numbers than DFM or MiBR but whatever

either way theres worse teams in APAC than GE, dfm should go way before ge does

Derke will join M8

it is youre just a loser

either watch or dont watch the product you dont gotta shill for gamers, nobody is gonna die because riot kicked bleed for breaching contracts

thats how things work, you breach a agreement and you break it, stop crying

just being weird

they will likely receive a riot ban lol

People just want any excuse they can get to complain that Riot doesn't personally fund tier 2 itself, and like to pretend the tier 2 scene was this flourishing scene before franchising when in reality tier 2 in most of the EMEA VRLs has developed since the ascension format lol
