We've had like fuckin no news of signings wtf is this all we've heard so far is players getting cut

Shyyy and Mazino

Apeks had guys like Flickless and Famsii in T2 to pick from and their bum assess still went with Governor, we are never beating the zero good GM's except Cojo and Niklas allegations

EMEA orgs will do anything to avoid signing tier 2 players 💔💔💔

Idk if Champs just mandela effected me but I swear before every game he flipped a coin and decided to either solo carry or sell

My agenda > reality (I was a 2024 100T fan)

Honestly atp Potter would be more of a terrorist coach the way she is building rosters

Bro was banished to tier 2 to play on CP, he doesn't have the job security to be considered a roster terrorist

icy (Duellist (scrim man))
Zellsis (Initiator (LET'S GO BOYS but only when we're playing against Furia and already up by 8 rounds))
bang (Controller (What does he even do??!?!?))
Xeppaa (Flex (Give me liberty give me fire let me diff FNS or I retire))
Boostio (Sentinel IGL (Alcoholic merchant))

f0rsakeN. He's been an incredible player for a long time but I feel like he's kinda inconsistent on a game to game basis, and whilst he is the most flexible player in the game I feel like the only agent where his util usage feels notably good is Yoru, and even then he's been passed up now that he's not the only one playing him

Still up there with greatest players OAT, just way too glazed

Alright unc pack it up, it ain't 2022 anymore

+shroud run it back who says no?

Surely NAVI/FPX over G2 for actually winning a LAN and having an equal number of top 4 appearances as them internationally

Let's make the longest z00k chain

z00k

I mean it’s exactly what happened last year, especially during MIBR and SR’s games

Can't wait to watch nothing but boring stomps while this site devolves into nothing but brain dead transphobic slop for a month

Yaaaaaaaaaaay

Downfragged for being cultured, we truly are a brainrotted hellhole

Boaster, Keiko, benjyfishy, waddle, ardiis (UK citizen he counts allow it)

Not much firepower but could get hard carried by coaching staff. Imagine mini, neilzinho and Sliggy all coaching a team

Here's a team of Russian speaking T2 players that I think could make a generational run and win Ascension

SimonD4rk - Duellist
sickrey - Initiator
chiwa - Sentinel
zeddy - Controller IGL
purp0 - Flex

She trynna be Ash so bad

FalleN alone makes up for any aura loss present in Furia, Molodoy brings them into positive aura territories by simply being him

Never have I seen such a washed collection of players as 9z

Lar0k way too good to be a 6th man, imo he'd either need to be full time duellist or replace Avez, otherwise he's going to a diff team

I'd go with Kr1stal over Lar0k just so u have an IGL

Ok but when Brazilian teams are so ass sending another Masters to Brazil is a recipe for silent finals

Champions curse has never failed, bro's team is on borrowed time

It changes a lot, but rn either Executioner's Tax by Power Trip or Painkiller by Judas Priest

U guys are getting dos9 and potentially Comeback, ur big chilling

Iron Maiden literally don't scream at all in any of their music

Quite literally most well known for their vocalist being able to hit super high notes and having a super theatrical voice

Mfw I have listened to 15 seconds of a Cannibal Corpse song in a TikTok and think the entire genre sounds like that

Me when I live under a rock

Gotta be Iron Maiden's run of 80's albums no? They went

Number Of the Beast (1982)
Piece Of Mind (1983)
Powerslave (1984)
Somewhere In Time (1986)
Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son (1988)

Only album that isn't S tier still has 2 of their best songs OAT

vo0kashu back to EMEA would hit like fent ONG

It has less than 36kg of salt and therefore no flavour can register on the American tongue

age: 20
nationality: Welsh
fav artist: Onslaught
fav animanga/movie/any media: Devil May Cry 3
fav team: Heretics
fav player: benjyfishy
1 interesting fact about yourself: I have familial ties to the IRA

I'm in fucking gold and I've a peak immo cypher on the enemy team odin crutching and 2 peak diamonds carrying his botty ass

Like bro for the past 3 games I've had peak diamonds-immos jfc are there any real golds in this doggy ass game

WOL S1Mon to replace Yuicaw roles send it

Surely just bait no?

Tho it would make sense cuz our asses got zero up and coming IGLs

I assume he'd go back to EMEA considering how easy it'd be for him to get on a team since he's a somewhat experienced IGL who can keep up with fragging so pretty much any team besides like 4 or 5 would take him

NAVI or KC would be my best guess

Maybe a Victor/zyppan Raze/Neon + second initiator type player could work better for him if he doesn't want to be the sole responsible duellist

Damn bro this game is now unplayable in any environment besides 10 mans

Wait they removed scan on trips entirely? What blithering fucking retards do they have employed at Riot

Robert Burger King

So IGL's in EMEA are a massive pain point, with most of the big pre-franchised IGLs or IGLs from CS are retired or turbo washed, and unlike the other regions there really don't seem to be many up and coming IGLs who's first game is Valorant

Which made me think about who actually should get a spot in 2026

Boaster, Boo, nAts, MrFaliN, Cloud and Jamppi I think 100% stay in the league

ANGE1 is ofc retiring

Minny I think is good enough for T1 but not as IGL

MOLSI and flyuh are guaranteed gone from the league but also definitely not getting signed again

UNFAKE and Saadhak I think were kinda ass this year

Which leaves 6 slots for IGLs to come in

Personally I think RobbieBK back to EMEA is a slam dunk pick cuz I thought he was dealt a kinda shitty hand this year and still managed to do decent with what he had. Then zeek has of course been farming T2 as the IGL for EP and keeping up in terms of fragging, and he seems on track to win Ascension. Then if Kr1stal is looking to come back to EMEA I can see him getting picked up as an IGL for a lower table team or team doing a full rebuild. Then if ceNder is still looking to compete I could see him being picked up cuz I honestly thought his calling on 2024 VIT was pretty good and he kinda got dragged down by having runneR on his team

runneR? What is bro running from? The dementia? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

Rose has been one of the more strategically impressive IGLs in T2 but his fragging is straight ass. Highly likely PCIFIC makes it through Ascension and he ends up in T1 anyway though so he's definitely in

Redgar is LFT sign him as a Reyna one trick human drone who IGLs from spectator cam KC Sexgar Champions Shanghai winner 2026

I hate the Chamber was a duellist narrative

He was a senti who could take first contact and get the opening pick before easily escaping back to site to anchor, and on attack he was more often than not lurking or contacting around the map with his team. Functionally he did nothing like a duellist except walk down space on defence which most agents can do with enough solid setups from their team anyway

Being a high fragging potential agent doesn't make you a duellist

He was never really a duellist player though. Jett was the only one he regularly played. He's an absolutely goated flex player though and I thought he was insane the first half of 2024

VIT are already rumoured to be Derke, Jamppi, PROFEK and Sayf subbing in until Sayonara turns 18. That lineup with nAts second calling/calling on defence side and deciding setups + motivational speeches would go fucking HARD and probably have way better vibes than VIT this year

Also would be really funny to see 3/5 of 2023 TL

I imagine he'll probably have a massive revival if he lands on a team with strong support players and a system that actually looks to set up their duellists instead of the TH system where more often than not RieNs and Wo0t are the stars and MiniBoo is forced to dive in by himself and get baited

I still remember how insane he was when paTiTek was still on the roster and he was the superstar that the team played around

We losing to Furia with this one

Pack it up bro wallahi it's finished
