not really if u are knowledgeable enough

cender is insane + igl

this fat unwanted region has over 4.7 billion people and is still trying to desperately win a trophy to this day for atleast one W against Americas and EU. If you comment on this post, you will be signing the official petition to give support with this ugly region forever under any circumstance (no hate to APAC, no hreads about APAC no trophy, and suppport from here on out), including the orbiting imports that got the russian genes the guy named Something from PRX. I think APAC is extremely shit but to see this actual region with a genuine 0 trophy count trying to rival with other regions is the equivalent to that one cross-eyed band kid at school that would follow you everywhere in which you desperately avoid them because he openly makes discriminatory comments out loud for a trophy.

Unfortunately for me, I also happen to be part Philippines + a big fan of DFM, BLEED, hence my anger towards this region for making teams like DFM look bad for no reason. How can I hype up my fav player Goatssi 🐐 and Seoldam on this site without ppl making fun of me because of the region? You know how hard it is to even call Seoldam a top tier player without getting called a clown for calling him better than fucking aspas or smth? This region makes us APAC fans look like a complete joke for having no trophy, worse than literally any other region on this site because of its ridiculous and depressing 0 trophies that no healthy region would have, and I pray for the day the regions on VCT actually do give mercy and give my precious region a trophy.

Again, if you wish to partake in this movement, leave a comment as it would be your signature to this petition in order to give APAC a trophy. REMINDER: If you see APAC play against any non-APAC region, just remember that its almost a certainty that APAC genuinely shit in the playoffs (remember he's the cross-eyed band kid you give mercy to right), so all you need to do is just support + bait for APAC and then move on with your beautiful day.

bro is looking a bit unaware tho, some stupid mistakes from him sometimes, kinda weird considering he is a really smart player

I had some doubts about how his style as a duelist would translate to tier1 but nvm, he might be the GOAT wtf

kc wont lose a map all season

kc vs fnc in grandfinals, thats all I know

we have seen most teams already, post your power rankings and we will see who was right in some months

as you said it is unfair, its equally hard for male players to get to those levels too, the amount of players that get to those levels is the 0.001%, there are way more males specially at the higher levels in valorant, if there ever is a time where GC/female players are good enough for challengers they will get the chance naturally, in the end if you are good enough you can always prove your worth in the open circuit and grind your way, u shouldnt get any special treatment and I think as competitors thats something they probably dont want either, I would feel like shit knowing I only got trials or signed because of my gender, also I think its not my opinion and its just a fact that they arent good enough and I dont see V1 making it to challengers or even getting past open qualifiers, but yeah the format is shit, I stopped watching any valorant outside international tournaments since the format for t2 is terrible and the franchise leagues are a snoozefest, a closed scene where everything is ran by Riot sucks, I wish it was like csgo even if you are literally 5 no namers and you grind your way in qualifiers and make a name for yourself you can make it regardless of who you are since its all merit based

flor seems decent, might be good enough for tier 3, idk what the state of the scene in NA is outside of franchise+challengers but she should start by competing in tier3-3.5 teams in the open circuit and see how she performs

not even the best talents in tier2 get trials for teams in tier1 at times but they think these players deserve a trial because they performed in GC lol, lets not pretend trials are fair and based on merit even for tier1 teams, its all about who you know and who you are friends with sadly unless you are literally walking on water in tier2

GC is not a standard high enough to warrant a trial in a t1 team, not even close too

I honestly dont think there are any that deserve trials, if we are being fair and not taking gender into account then there at least a 100 players who deserve trials above them, obviously this isnt possible so as an org u need to be efficient, I would consider it special treatment if they got trials ahead of other talented open circuit players, ofc esports is all about who you know and its not always merit based so my argument is kinda flawed but you get the point, it would still be unfair for those players and unefficient for orgs to waste time trialing players that are 99% not good enough, only one I would consider trialing is probably florescent

ofc, I am only talking about individual skill nothing else

Bob wasnt good on soniqs specially considering how much competition has improved nowadays, I disagree with all of this, I think you are underrating how good even the worst players in t1 are, ofc I am talking about individual skill since I have no idea about how meL or Bstd are as igls. I asure you that Mary wouldnt perform better than Newzera, Florescent seems promising tho but better than Seoldam is a bold take, Seoldam might have perfomed like shit but he is very talented individually, if he was playing in v1 in the place of florescent he would be literally farming too, dont underestimate how good these top pros actually are compared to even very skilled players and how big the gap between GC and even t2 is

I dont play or watch valorant much these days but I used to watch some GC from time to time, specially the World Championship, in my honest opinion they arent even good enough for t3. G2 Gozen won Worlds and from my experience in EU ranked where I queued against some of them in the past and also from other teams they arent good enough even compared to t4-5 level while they were the world champions, in NA where there are so few slots in franchise it makes it even more difficult. I would be surprised if there is even 1 GC player who is good enough for t3, I dont follow the scene so if u have any names I am all ears

Cmon lets be honest, the level of skill between GC and chinese teams isnt even comparable, even if they werent that good as a team you could see they were insanely talented individuals. I genuily dont think there is a single GC player that is good enough for anything other than t3 other than transgender male to female players who used to play in male teams before that. I think the next step for GC players is to start competing and giving importance to the open circuit but this is more of an ideal than a realistic prospect, they get paid really good salaries in GC and the prize pool for tournaments is great, in the end this is a job and you need to get paid, as long as there is 0 incentives for them to try to make it in the open circuit the situation wont change, anyone that has competed in valorant at a decent knows how many really strong players are even at t5 that are grinding like crazy everyday with the hopes to make it, the competition is fierce in sports and if u wanna make it u need to take the hard route instead of the comfortable route which is GC, if there are female players out there who choose the hard route they have utmost respect

so far no game changer player has shown that they cant perform in t2 or even t3, what makes u think experience will be enough to make players who arent even good enough for t2 ready for world class level of competition? competition is fierce and there is 10 times more male players grinding t2-t3 since 2+ years ago, there is objectively 0 reasons to believe what you are saying will happen

since gender doesnt matter then by this logic there are a 100+ players worth of a trial in NA alone, for obvious reasons this is not viable so you need to be efficient and GC players are objectively not good enough and that is clear to anyone with a working brain, those who say the opposite are just being dishonest tbh

I understand but lets be honest, regardless of the reason its not like they deserve trials anyway, they dont have the skill and they only compete in a closed circuit of a really low standard, would be kinda unfair for those proving themselves in the open circuit imo

if we consider challengers as t2 then I dont there is a single one who is good enough for it, also 90%+ of them arent even good enough for t3 imo

are GC players good enough to be in franchise or at the very least get trials?

lets see which users know ball

This is only a good move if you are a Fnatic fan

people like who call others incels are the real incels me thinks

flag checks out

See the bright side, last match for botcas in tier1, thats a big W in my books

yes, you are crazy indeed

What was he expecting? T2 scene is always shit in franchised esports, if you want t2 to be sustainable you need an open system and to allow revenue from betting sites and shit like that, even t1 scene is unsustainable in basically all esports and esports as a whole is just unsustainable, most of us dont contribute financially to the esports we watch or orgs we like in any form, we basically enjoy the product for free on twitch and thats it, very hard to make money this way

no

Leo was a cs pro

lmao

tbh he wasnt insane with FPX, he was a good player but compared he wasnt incredible either, meta favoured him a lot too

you really have a terrible sense of humour wtf, npc vibes from u ngl

idk m8 I havent watched much valorant apart from some of the matches at masters this year but any decent IGL should be enough, when the players are this much better any decent igl is enough but tbh Boaster has improved on his weaknesses so he is fine

if u think u are funny then sorry but you are in for a surprise

that wasnt the only post I made at the time, I made like hundreds of them, you can search them if u want but I dont really feel like doing one again and honestly I just dont care about valorant that much anymore

in israel!

I was right on what their issues were at the time, DRX had similar issues and didnt fix them but Boaster did. If I could predict the future with 100% accuracy I wouldnt be talking to you rn

Just so you idiots stop commenting after you read the tweet from that Cojo moron, I obviously cant predict the future otherwise I wouldnt be talking to you guys on a valorant forum. Fnatic had similar issues to DRX in their system/calling style ever since their creation, Mini talks about this in a Fnatic vlog from Egypt in the offseason and it is common knowledge to anyone that knows a bit of valorant. Boaster/Mini fixed this so props to them, on the other hand DRX didnt and are now on a massive slump as it was expected, different sides of the coin. Props to Boaster for fixing this but there is still work to be done in that area, go watch Fnatic on bind and u will understand what I mean. Now that I have given props to Boaster/Mini I must also say that this is an illegal lineup, they have the best player in every role and its not even close, on top of that they are also really smart players. Like in every team sport, player quality matters, I think that this team would have been the best with any good IGL but good job either way. I was too much of a hater ngl bu if you asked Boaster/Mini they would agree with me in what those issues were.

Most of u are just a bunch of casual fanboys so I dont expect u to understand valorant at a decent level so personally its just funny to see a bunch of idiots to come laugh after a tweet by another idiot without providing any value to the conversation from a strategic point of view while the actual two guys I critized admitted this was an issue and worked on it

yeah this superteam would have won everything with any capable igl but I have to give credit where its due, Boaster/mini improved and fixed the structural issues their style had so props to them

Maybe but thats the thing, if he is getting punished early in the match then he usually just keeps forcing it, also its harder to heat up if he just loses awareness and his decision making suffers. Maybe he gets too distracted hyping up but I think its probably just a composure issue, some of the things I see Derke doing in these type of matches make no sense, its just stupid mistakes that he would never do under normal conditions

Really? I just remember everyone being hyped af

Am I the only that has noticed how badly he plays in high pressure matches? Its like watching a different player, its like his awareness and decision making disappear all of a sudden, it has been like this all of his career, I wonder if this is something they are trying to work on with Derke since its clearly just a composure issue and not that he lacks those skills

Always shows up in the high pressure matches unlike Derke, I am concerned by how worse he is under pressure... Its like a videogame and someone used an ability to reduce his decision making, awareness and firepower stats

I dont like commenting on coaches since its impossible to tell how much they do from the outside, my only criticsm for him atm is that he lacks the personality but that isnt as big of an issue. I wasnt a fan of him and Boaster last year because of the issues with Fnatic playstyle at a structural level but they have improved at it (mainly Boaster) and Mini knew this was a problem last year so I appreciate that he recognized the problem and fixed it

I hope but looks difficult, I was very dissapointed by what I saw from FUT/NaVi/Liquid, the level they showed was really low and this has kinda been a thing for a while with EMEA teams. I feel like we got good players but the level of teams is bad, some of the reasons imo are:

• T2 is in shambles, the regional leagues lowered the level of the t2 way too much, its hard for teams to improve when they have to scrim some really really bad teams.
• Bad coaches and IGLs and overall just bad ways of working and ideas

sure but still worrying how shit the other teams are
