fucking clownshow LMFAO. Fucking imbecilic RETARDED riotdrones where are you at? fucking morons are cheering at riot destroying the scene.

There aren't supposed to be lower board team in the franchise league. Nor are there supposed to be botwell-tier players. End of story.

Fitinho is the most overrated OPer in EMEA, he is deffo 2.0.

Kiles absolutely doesn't deserve to be in the franchise league. Zombs 2.0.

None of this is worth it. Nobody cares about Koi or Heretics as an org in Valorant. Only spanish fans. A lot more people care about the M3C roster and the FPX roster. But I guess favouritism > merit, in this esport.

as of now there is only one spanish player truly worthy of playing in the league. Any other spanish player joining would automatically mean that actually worthy players are left out.

because i waste them money by playing and not buying skins.

also i don't play anymore.

also i understand that having connections with the chinese government does not automatically make you an uygher genocider
much like hanging out with andrew tate once doesnt make you a sexist

ofc id also be happy if the franchise league was filled with greek tier10 bots

OG, G2, Mad Lions fighting for ascension is gonna be hella funny

Riot literally owned by Tencent, a company highly connected with the chinese government. But yes, andrew tate is worse than Mao!

dogshit player

the only reason is ocelote hanging out with andrew tate. Literally nothing else. Also, just looking at this roster of orgs.... Man the game is super dead in Europe.

that's sad.

Guild already has a spaniard. There are no good spanish players other than kolda. The fact that we are going to see 2 more in the franchise league. In the likes of arki and botwell is sad.

Y'all keep telling me that but it seems I'm right every time. Sounds like coping.

Heretics isn't a rich org.

I doubt that any of these spanish teams won't keep their spanish players. Meaning that none of them are actually gonna buy out FPX or M3C. Meaning that these 2 teams that are top4 in EMEA will have to disband. If you think that's ok then there's something terribly wrong with this community.

My man EU dominated csgo even when all these washed bots that now rule valorant were competing in it. Remember that every valorant pro placing top4 in VCT was a tier5 punching bag in csgo.

Karmine Corp, Koi, Heretics and Giants with their tier50 rosters.... What a fucking clownshow. Optic also not making it which means that the best team of 2022 has to split up if any of the pkayers want to make franchising. Fpx as well. This is a fucking travesty idk how any of you are so accepting of this grade-A bullshit.

I'd also like to add that all of this would've been avoided had Riot allowed for a healthier third party TO ecosystem. Again, Riot's fault.

Also, the fact that there is no competition between TOs (since riot are the only ones), this diminishes the quality of production. I have to say, that comparing Blast to VCT is like comparing gold to absolute dogshit piled garbage fill. It's been 2 years and we still don't have a working HUD! That's not just a joke, it's a travesty! The casters are also very subpar compared to ANY other eSport.

Not only that, but the fact that they've pretty much based their entire shtick to content creators costreaming the VCT events, and the fact that the viewership is super dependant on them (see Shroud left, -300k total viewers). That's not sustainable because another hype game is gonna come out and all those content creators will simply move on, as is the order of things.

LoL is a lot more frequent than current VCT. Let alone what they are preparing for 2023. Honestly, these 6 months will be the end of it. It seems to me that people don't recognize the differences between FPS and MOBAs. They are two different crowds and trying to appease the MOBA crowd in an FPS game will just result in OWL V2.

Personally I don't have that kind of patience just like many people. And it shows by the viewership rn. The last thing you'd want to do when your viewership is dying is halt the competition to a still for SIX months.

Idk. The fact that it's going to take 6 months so that we can see a vct match is quite concerning.

Just off the top of my head.

They brought nothing but a jerkoff. The scene is fundamentally flawed.

I'm all about both games actually developing as I see lots of differences on the gameplay side.

What I don't like is Riot doing a shit job at developing the game and structuring the esports scene. The only people killing this game, is Riot. There are people who will deny the fact Valorant is dying. There are people who will deny the fact it's Riots fault. The same people will shut their eyes and ears and scream "CSGO frog!!!!!!1!1!!11" to any sane person actually trying to fucking improve this esport with VALID criticism.

Just tells me who really cares about valo prospering.

dead game

my man the netcoding and registering is actually better. You only think otherwise because in CSGO you actually have demos to prove it. But try recording your gameplay in valorant, then do slow mos and you are going to freak out with how garbage this game's netcoding is. That's Riot NEVER does slow mo in VCT, because it exposes how shittily they've made this game.

derrek cant even own my grandma

Oh bruh

Found the silver4.

They get offended because you undermine their great achievement of reaching plat when all they could do in csgo is be silver4.

It's kinda true. Riot has made some really questionable choices in terms of the mechanics of the game, thereby lowering the ceiling by a lot. No spray pattern, slow movement speed, big hitboxes, run and gun. Those all factor in to the skill ceiling being so low, that not only has the playerbase reached it in 2 years of the game's existence, but the bad players ALSO have.

Tbf, that doesn't only take away from being a pro, it always did. The fact that the scene is still filled with CSGO rejects, was always off-putting and something I hoped would go away (I realized it never will). It also takes away from the spectacle, as no highlights actually look impressive.

Riot need to do better. Otherwise this game will die (as it is dying in Europe), just like we can see with the downward trend of VCT viewership.

Well csgo isn't some random joke esport that people can switch from anywhere and be decent at. Wardell would struggle in ESEA main rn.

why did i read racism?

i can live with that. As long as there are no APAC/NA teams winning, not one soul can complain.

Wait... February?

Generally riot can fix their broken game.

Yeah but there's like 5 people

guys i havent watched since the group stage. Has the crowd always been this depressing?

every valorant crowd is disastrous as it seems. The problem is too many genz kids following this esport.

and people here still think they can pull off a franchised league

this dogshit company is running this esport to the ground

meh he isn't good enough for tier2 let alone tier1

yes greatest anchor ever. anchoring every team he is on to the bottom of the ocean

.

Suygetsu owns yay but HBD

name doesnt check out because this list is adequate af

Why do you all care about some washed garbage tier pros. Acquire some taste please.

My man you can't convince me a team with frz and gtnyorugodkingdestruction is a good team.

He would get exposed every single day. Emea teams would force him on flex due to his playstyle and it would be a disaster.

greece won the euro in 2004 and we also held constantinople until 1453

it's incredible how people (imbeciles) will downvote my statement which is really just the truth

they were dogshit and gambit was off form

nice, but Liquid + Acend + Gambit won all their games so maybe stop coping and speak facts?
