its just simply disrespectful, how your org is paying you to improve and use your time effectively, you wont see fpx scrimming g2 gozen or tier99 teams they wont learn nothing from and could beat them easily only because of the huge individual skill difference, you can see this in one of soulcas highlights where they are scrimming liquid female which are the best female team in south america and it was something like 12-0

not sexist, its important information that they tell if they are female team, scrimming female teams for top teams like maru gaming is a loss of time which they are being paid for by their org

europe 100%, optic look defeated, loud looked beatable and have big flaws, prx playstyle is very counterable and people know how they play already, drx counterable af, FPX just looking like the best team in the world not even in close

tbh, fpx won emea in stage 1 and masters in stage 2, I think they have been the most consistent, they were unlucky they couldnt attend masters 1 because they 100% would have made at least top4 and most likely win it

nah, chorincle and sheydos are still god tier players, nats not as godly as he used to be because his playstyle was unsustainable in the long term but he is still one of the best in his role, redgar still good igl, it feels like they just need things to click and get a good idea about the meta and how they should play, it feels they play too 1 demensional and slow at times and some of their comps are questionable to say the least, also surprising they have had purp0 as 6th player for almost a year but dont pick him up instead of jady, chronicle is performing great on duelist but I think it would be better for them to have a duelist specialist and chornicle on his usual roles but jady is still a great pickup, I think they just need time to get comfortable, also feels like they lost their killer instict a bit

thats simply not true, the players are still good, only deffo was underperforming

they will see next year, only 3 regions so plenty of spots for EMEA

gold player talking

they are, both fucking suck

such a bad list

they already look better than xset and lcq teams, but NA fanboys will tell me they are not a 1 team region, NA not better than APAC as of today

he is good but he is no forsaken, I am talking about a god tier player

maybe, idk if its mostly legija having a good system or maxie actually being a good igl but bleed from the little I watched them play, they play very decent valorant, good foundamentally compared to rest of apac, very european style of play but seem to lack that superstar players to make the difference

motherfucker said fpx is not flexible when they can adapt to play any comp with 2 scrims alone lmao and are the only top team that changes their playstyle depending on opponent like top csgo teams do while others just stick to a gameplan with little adaptation LMAO

fortnite player confirmed

why would any1 want to visit a country full of fr*nch people?

emea franchise teams, sign this guy or I riot

tbh pyth and maxie individually are pretty meh, they brought experience more than anything

its a good decision regardless, pyth and legija are very experienced csgo players, even if they didnt qualify they were overall fairly sucessful always finishing close to qualifying, hope they taught the players in bleed how to play proper tactical fps because they are very talented individually even if they played like idiots at the start of the year

he is right tbh

not good enough lol, maybe zeddy but even then I have some doubts that he will be a top player in the long run

they wont because I doubt all of m3c wants to move to serbia but would be great for them, they could also make some money selling cloud

it doesnt, only cloud is good

its huge in europe (both western europe and eastern europe unlike league of dogs), brazil and its big in china but they suck

europe vs china from now on, sorry NA you guys arent good enough, valorant will become dota where china and europe have legendary rivalry for world championships while NA will have to figure out how to beat LATAM teams :(

idk, they are just not very intelligent and mechanically they are pretty mediocre, there is a big csgo culture in europe too which helps unlike NA, most european players have been playing tac fps since very young

they made top4 lol, I agree they played like shit but even playing like shit they did better than any NA team oustide optic in last 13 months, also they had 2 subs in iceland so you cant expect much from them

tbh dark ratio are somewhat decent and could be in NA vct but no way

its facts, time will tell, you are just deluded if you think you guys arent anything other than absolute crap, m8 there is a reason teams are coming to europe 1 month before champions to bootcamp, because our teams are incredible, every region has 1 top team except us, next year its only 3 regions and that will mean EMEA and NA will get to send at least 4 teams each every tournament, then you will see how trash NA teams are, literally random gameplay with not very skilled players every time I watch

based, motherfuckers really think any1 outside optic can beat FPX, Fnatic, new Guild, new FPX, new Acend, g2 and new Liquid, your second best team is fucking XSET PIPE DOWN BUDS

literally dogshit lmao, like thats good elo

what? I didnt say guild were the best, thats how much better we are than dogshit NA, our third best team at copenhagen beat your best team playing 4v5, how fucking sad is that lmao, you are delusional if you think any team besides optic has any chance against top6-7 european teams, specially with franchising, europe has 10 times the amount of top tier players than NA, with franchising all the best players will be on only 10 teams, I would say second best NA team next year would be about 8-9 in EMEA

I hope you are joking lMAO, otherwise you are gold at best

still better than any NA team you american bastard

EMEA is dogshit besides 2 teams but our 3rd seed 2-0d optic while having russ on their team.
Acend, m3c, liquid, guild, fnatic, fpx and g2 are all better than every NA team except optic

lol, all mediocre af, if these are your best NA players outside of optic then you are doomed as a region, EMEA and APAC stars are 10 times better
MF SAID BOOSTIO IS GOOD, I CANT WITH THESE IDIOTS

they are fucking mid lol

he probably is so unimpressed always with NA that even if they play just a bit smart he will get the impression they improved

"Franchise work well in LoL" my ass, as an esport its a mess, riot are lucky 90% of league esports fans are casuals who dont care about formats being good or even the structure of the esport as a whole

https://www.hltv.org/news/29380/nukkye-open-to-new-challenge-as-he-rules-out-hellraisers-stay not at all lithuanians speak russian and not at all speak it to a native level

not true, he just speaks some basic things

agree

u are underrating nukkye lol, he is one of the best emea players

koi will buy guild probably

Sure but I mean valve didnt really invent the format or anything, they just use it because it makes sense, I dont feel anybody who has a bit of brain would say the copied it, the fact it would extend too much the duration of the tournament can be solved with having a B and C stream, also since its bo2 it allows teams to play at least 2 matches a day, I doubt it extending too much would be a problem, imo the real problem would be getting the casual fans to understand where and when matches would be played

Very good slots distribution but I would prefer the Group to be swiss system like csgo majors or 2 groups of 12 where all teams play eachother in bo2 like this https://liquipedia.net/dota2/The_International/2021, a format similar to the TI would give us a lot of interregional matchups and we would get to see teams play everyone and see how they match up against different styles + it wouldnt be like currently where you start poorly and lose 2 matches and you are out, it would give teams a lot of matches to improve during the tournament, the only is that it might be bad for casual viewers since it would be too many matches which would require at least 3 matches to be played at the same time in different streams for it to not last literally weeks, also I feel like it would be hard to follow since the common valorant fan doesnt know about vlr and personally I think most casuals would just wait for playoffs but overall I still think its the best format possible

natank is full bot, tier 5 player at best

you are a terrorist, I am bleeding after seeing this

NA is done in valorant except for maybe 2 teams for the future, Europe vs China like dota for at least next 5 years
