for european standards I am talking, obviously its natural that bigger cities are shitholes, thats why I think hosting it in smaller countries/cities but that are still not too small like Prague and Vienna would be best options, both are also beatiful too
data, barcelona is full of mena inmigrattion, a lot of rapes, not safe overall, its unlikely that anything would happen to any1 but considering how high the spanish standard for security is, there are better options in that sense withtin Spain, also taxes in Catalonia arent as bussiness friendly as Madrid for example, my best options would be Vienna and Prague, big cities are shitholes but Barcelona is a shithole among shitholes
good point, best options are central european cities and personally I would prefer smaller ones from smaller countries instead of big cities like Berlin and Barcelona but I get that Riot wants to the city to be one in which they already have offices in, Prague and Vienna would have been great options, probably Netherlands too
true but Riot probably wants a big country with a big valorant fanbase
trust me you dont want to do anything in barcelona atm, the city is in a terrible state atm, Berlin is a shithole too but better choice, I doubt riot are willing to go smaller countries, and from the big european countries:
NA lcq lmao, full of dogs, thats even worse than vrl teams, tells you a lot about the level of teams and players when the guard and xset looked worse than average in international tournaments, 100T has even worse players than those 2 teams so I dont expect much, would be a miracle if they can even win a map against liquid, I feel like its just too much of a firepower diff
edg are better than drx, also there is no way 100t are equal to liquid, liquid can destroy 100t on skill alone, 100t arent good, I just laugh from imagining jamppi vs will, chambers getting impact is one of the most important things in this meta and holy shit the rest of 100T would need to perform a miracle to compesate for the chamber diff, also liquid is just incredible against loose teams like 100T who dont mind giving out duels and liquid just have 5 animals individually + lan exp
playstyle, better players, good infrastructure and clear path to tier1, tier1 na talents in cs werent better than tier3 european talents so that tells you how many good csgo players there were in europe, nats for example was a random tier59 russian player who had just a couple matches in hltv, you can argue european teams generally play the best brand of valorant and the most fundamentally sound but I think what makes the most difference is just that the players are better, outside of FPX the rest of european teams have big issues with their playstyle sometimes and lack adaptation generally, what carries them through is pure individual skill most of the times
NA delusion reaching new heights
and why is that mr big mouth genius? what is the challengers format like, moron? I am gonna let you guess that and why fnatic style works so well in challengers and not in normal tournaments with standard format
too long, sorry that happened or happy for you, doesnt work tho, as I said it is a short term solution but it doesnt work in the long run, same as drx
u igled? in what? platinum scrims? hahahha, you probably didnt even know even what you were calling if you think boaster is a good igl
if I need to explain u this it just proves its a waste of time to do it since you have no knowledge about the game and ur talking out of ur ass to defend your favourite players like a fanboy
lost braincells ty
Korea worst region imo, Brazil second worst and Japan isnt actually that bad lol, some of the teams are nice and they improved a lot from last year, also considering how popular valorant is in japan they will likely be a top3 region in the future once the young talents develop and get to the t1 japanese teams
I said below why but generally he is just the opposite of what I stand for, he calls and makes his team play the opposite of how I think valorant should be played and generally cant stand paycheck stealers, they are just hindering the EMEA valorant world domination goal... Why cant they retire and just let actually talented and good players get in tier1, otherwise players like boaster who are basically the face of the game in a sense will always get a job even if they are shit because most orgs want clout, I hope he just goes to NA next year honestly
paycheck stealers basically but if you want me to be specific:
Boaster and mini are just talentless specimens from british tier5 csgo, they werent even good in british csgo scene which is one of the worst in europe how can you expect these guys to do anything, mistic seems cool but he is just bad at the game and a bit of a pussy sadly
yes, I hate mistic, boaster and mini but derke is one of my fav players
even then ardiis isnt known for being consistent, he was consistent in masters 2 but he isnt specially consistent regularly, also there are simply better and more gifted players than him who are consistent, he is for sure a top top player but just not top6
Also how can you dare to compare devve to ardiis? What joke is this? Device rarely had a bad match, ardiis had a lot of bad maps before masters 2, being consistent is not the only factor that separetas good from worse, some players are simply more gifted and better than others even if less consistent, also people dont talk about sayf because 90% of valorant fanbase are dogshit players who dont know who is good and who is bad, sorry but you simply can argue ardiis is better than shao and even others like jamppi, ardiis is for sure top10 player in the event but still overrated in the platchat rankings which is what I meant, doesnt mean he is bad tho, I personally think f0rsaken is overrated af but he is still a great player, overrated =/= bad
I dont even think I said anything crazy, literally just facts, like how can shao be lower than ardiis, yay is good but not top1, f0rsaken is not as good as people think he is very 1 dimensional, shao was literally mvp of the tournament he should be higher than ardiis and probably suygetsu too, jamppi is probably most underrated pro atm he has improved so much and has become a beast, easily a top3 players in europe, scream is 1 dimensional af like f0rsaken but has better aim and isnt as undisciplined, aspas is literally a god how is he not top10
because there are better players, he is consistently very good but his peak isnt as high as others, I rate him a lot tho, also there is no way he is above shao lol, jamppi and aspas also should be higher than him, I am not saying he is bad just overrated in the list, he is top10 but not top6

doesnt seem like it! you are very naive just like children, my man actually thought esports is about being profitable...
Riot want money so they make the money, real fans sad because shit format but 90% of fans who are casual happy cuz league with their favourite streamers! Valorant fans so stupid riot can use their esport as marketing and still make a profit because they dont care about having an actual competitive and serious scene
same for you? you are so naive if you think esports is about making a profit, what are you 10yo?
they are probably the same who think league is a well run esport and think its somewhat fun to watch those shit tournaments and formats
which costs what? peanuts? they are greedy otherwise they wouldnt do what they are doing, only reason they are keeping t2-3 alive is because otherwise the people would eat them alive you fucking retard, they are doing literally the bare minimun, giving a shitty league to lower tiers... you got basically no expectations if you think this is something, also will cost them nothing, you could even burn the money invested in those leagues and they wouldnt care
To those morons saying its just a company trying to make profit:
Riot makes enough profit from the game itself alone, no1 in esports really makes a profit, not orgs or tournament organizers, only maybe franchises and only if it works out well, the goal of esports for a game developer is not making a profit, its just pure marketing of the game and keeping it healthy, its literally just an investment, it would even be more profitable to them if they did like valve where they let esl/blast/pgl host tournaments all year long and then give 1million for the world championship, this current circuit where we get 1 international tournament every 4 months and some teams can go out playing only 2 matches is a shame to competition, also knowing riot they are probably going to make it so international tournaments from now are even more elitist where only 2 teams per region or something are allowed to go, this format wouldnt be so bad if it gave a lot of spots for each region in international events but its riot so they wont
I do my friend... Doesnt mean its not a joke to us who watch valorant, can understand they are greedy and want to make as much profit as possible but its a joke for those who buy skins and then they give this crappy system where they can farm more money as if it wasnt enough
very well run company! totally employ very competent people! I am asured a company that doesnt think chamber and jett are broken can run an esport scene
"as we thought", doesnt mean its not bad, just not as much... you are setting the bar too low and riot loves that
skins devlopers dont receive the profit!! its all riot at the end of the day my friend!! they make enough money to pay their small team and buy my family and buy some banana africa republic aswelL!
Riot totally needs to profit on their esport project! Not enough profit already from skins!! Need more!! Small company, totally dont have ties to the chinese government!!
rioters downvoting you, I cant lmao...
cant believe a company that keeps realeasing new stupid skins and farming millions instead of fixing their game that can alone fund their esports projects keep being greedy and try keep valorant as elitist as possible to farm even more money!! at the of the day riot is a small company who makes no money from skins!! they need to make huge profits from valorante esports or not worth...
that riot only cares about farming money, have created a dogshit competitive enviroment, like to make tournaments with little teams to farm money, will make valorant an esport for casual fans like league and are robbing us of seeing international tournaments consistently with more teams from all regions just to farm their money, worst developer in terms of running an esport scene, both league and valorant are a shit show, just let the community host the tournaments and you give them the money to do it like csgo, you guys are just clueless, what can you expect from a company which their production team for international tournaments were all new to it and are pricks who dont know anything about esports, no wonder valorant tournaments have these unneccessary stage entries, 1 match at a time and crappy talent
delusional imo, they wont be in that similar in power:
And this is all of it taking into account EMEA which has by far the best players and the most amount of elite players, have their talent very spread between a lot of teams, if EMEA starts making superteams and has to get all their talent in only 10 teams then its not gonna be close at all
idk if top5 because there are some incredible aimers in csgo who were on his level in terms of aim but for sure most iconic
they won because they were adaptive, antistratting is useless if the other team can adapt and be flexible, obviously everything in the rulebook is fair game but if you play 1 international tournament every 3 months then its gonna be so easy for gimmicky playstyle like fnatic, drx and prx to work, if those played a tournament every 2 weeks they would shit themselves
also antistratting against an specific team will probably work once if they are good enough but twice it wont
to put in context how much of a difference antistratting and playing very little matches compared to a lot of matches like csgo would make:
this mainly comes from csgo, top tier csgo teams are very hard to antistrat, tier1 csgo is about adaptation and being able to change your playstyle and defaults all the time, also antistratting is a meh win at least for me, you can antistrat teams like prx and drx very easily like fpx did in copenhagen but if we really want to see how good teams actually are its best to have no antistrat so basically play tournaments all the time, thats why fnatic is so good in challengers when they have 1 week to prepare every match and then when they go deep into the tournament and it becomes about who is more flexible and adaptative they get antistratted because they have no strategic depth and gg, same for drx, you can tell ange1 was actually a really good csgo igl by the way fpx play: the are the most adaptive team, very defaulty, can change their playstyle and defaults easily, dont play the same comp more than 3 matches, almost impossible to antistrat.
ange1 is clearly the best igl in valorant since he is apparently the only igl that understands this concept, you need to be impossible to antistrat to be the best team in the world, getting to the top is easy but staying there is the hardest thing, thats why what astralis did is so impressive, they always adapted, reinvented themselves and were impossible to antistrat
Totally! Valorant and CS dont really share the same fundamental way of playing! Not at all, very different games, I would say valorant ressembles more League than CS!! Maybe faker could teach s1mple valorant fundamentals!!
no! indian gold player knows best than s1mple, how can s1mple say they are overpeeking? this s1mple bot has no understanding of how to fundamentally play tactical FPS unlike beasts like NA valorant players! NA overpeek? Never, most disciplined region itw!
totally not what he meant, s1mple is 100% right, NA players overpeek a lot in valorant, its not about hiding, its about playing together with your team and not giving stupid 1v1 fights to the enemy team, overpeeking is not used to when the other team is executing normally, there you just need to hold the site and try to get 1 maybe 2 and you are dead, by overpeeking he means in situations where you got an advantage or its just completely unnecessary and you do it for the sake of taking a fight, the fact I have to explain this makes me concerned you are a low elo player who thinks he knows what he is talking about, you should read about Dunning–Kruger effect
he wasnt, he fucking dogshit when he switched and had been for years
not good, there are way better players, you simply cant say mistic and boaster are good cuz they arent, if not just come back in some time and you will see how at least mistic vanished from valorant scene
lost braincells reading this ty, expected from american
partly agree, they didnt play 100% but the way the play is not sustainable long term, also tbh they dont have good enough players to win masters outside of alfa, derke and maybe enzo
