jemking 👑

it aint even mxm anymore bro 😭 it's mxs

laz drops 50

too scared to make changes when it matters - i do like how they send out google forms, though, where anyone can apply for the team; i believe both ZETA and DFM have sent one out for recruitment.

o7 w teammate

i put kiNgg at S- because his igling is not great: leviatan looked stale towards the latter half of the season. since Sacy is not igling it brings him above kiNgg - i honestly just think Sacy is better in general tho

i was not that impressed with dgzin this year. as for heat, i thought he was consistent enough to be put at A.

thats just how good i think everyone is

i wouldnt consider bringing saadhak down, but i would see why cauanzin would be around low-mid S. For Xeppaa, I could see him being mid A tier.

hi :D just my opinion don't obliterate me too much (based on current form) but please lmk what you think

S+: Demon1, Ethan, Less, aspas, keznit, leaf
S: saadhak, zekken, Sacy, trent, valyn
S-: Boostio, Jawgemo, s0m, Cryo, kiNgg, neT
A+: C0M, DaveeyS (o7), TenZ, BcJ
A: cauanzin, Victor, FNS, Zellsis, bang, nzr, Marved, mwzera, qck, JonahP, frz, heat
A-: crashies, ardiis, Melser, jakee, Xeppaa, Mazino, pANcada, jzz, RgLMeister
B+: tuyz, runi, Asuna, Shyy, dgzin, Khalil, kon4n
B: stellar, murizzz
B-: Klaus, Mazin
C: dephh, axeddy, Tacolilla
D: NagZ, Derrek, TxoziN (goat)

i see what you did there: heres some analysis

TSM (Team Solo Mid) + FaZe (Phase) = Mid Phase

gMd (TSM)
corey (FaZe & TSM)
POISED (FaZe)
BABYBAY (FaZe)
NaturE (TSM)

literally 50/50 TSM and FaZe, pretty cool actually - also nice to see the BABYBAY + corey duo back together again

lets see the scrimbux

when it comes to yay, i think his drive to play was on such a level that he would've gone anywhere to play. so, i don't think homesickness will be too much of a problem.

as for team chemistry, yay has trialed with the team for quite some time, so BLEED has at least a general feel of the team chemistry. the team also has months before the season officially starts.

another point to add is that yay provides insight from one of the previously best teams in NA (Optic) and has a winner's mentality.

also to talk about your language barrier point: correct me if i'm wrong, but the previous BLEED roster with nephh and Juicy was also speaking English.

i do think your points do hold some value but overall i think yay is just the right fit for BLEED.

honestly just having intentionality can get you places. thinking about everything you're doing and justifying it with good reasoning sharpens your gamesense nicely. as for aim, just be intentional with your crosshair placement and your flicks; really think about where your aiming.

ZETA finally made roster changes.

DFM is DFM.

the orgs representing Japan are just a bunch of funny people.

gn sleep well :D

‘//, the end of an era. o7 crow, tennn, and xqq thanks for putting Japan on the map

best of both worlds, keep the players but not as players. big brain.

ScreaM is six letters…

the eminence in shadow is pretty good but there’s not much emphasis world building

The prices are rising for sure (ironically Dollar Tree is now charging $1.25 😂). I also noticed a small price increase in Japan as well (most crane games no longer had the 500円 for 6 tries deal 😔). I’m actually curious about the workload for students. How is it in Japan, I guess in terms of stress?

I definitely recommend going to the US at least once. I don’t know if I would recommend living here, though. I’ve been pretty sheltered my whole life, but even I can tell things are getting chaotic. It’s kinda one of the reasons I want to live in Japan, actually. The high level of respect for others is something I wish was ingrained into US culture.

I’m a high school senior right now and still live in the US. I think I might want to live in Japan someday, but honestly I’m not quite sure. I go to Japan every year to see my grandparents, though. I always have a blast. Have you been to the US before?

more money for less time, ofc thats what im taking - AND im the goat

just an observation, don’t know how much free time people have

1075 episodes/48 days until November 1 = 22.3958333333 episodes/day (not including newly airing ones)

148 episode/48 days until November 1 = 3.08333333333 episodes/day

aya rin 💯🔥🔥💯💯🦦

all the TenZ money gone now 😞

nah ur good it would actually be Razu instead of Laz so

Rb sadge :(

I like the idea of the 2 worst performing teams across both splits playing a Bo5 to see who gets relegated. The teams would acquire circuit points across both splits to determine the two “worst” teams. This format’s definitely got its flaws, though.

No need to be so aggressive. All I said was that it could be considered. That being said, I disagree with your KRÜ point, as relegation would most likely not occur because of one bad seasonal performance. It would probably look like something similar to Challengers. I do wholeheartedly agree with your representation point, however. It makes sense for the health of the esports to have as many diverse orgs as possible. Again, this is all hypothetical.

I mean it’s an idea to consider, as it does incentivize orgs more to actually try with their roster making.

fr I wanted a piece of the pie 🥧

Keep:
Sentinels - they know how to get hype going for VALORANT and their roster moves are heading in the right direction. Without Sentinels, Americas loses at least 25% viewership.

100 Thieves - similar to SEN, 100 Thieves have the clout needed to stay in Franchising. We also know Nadeshot wants to win, so if they don’t make roster moves this year they will for sure next year (if results are not produced).

Evil Geniuses - reigning world champions. An innovative 10-man roster definitely showed that this team isn’t afraid to spend the cash. Not only that, their clout has gone up tenfold, and with the current personalities on the team, they should have no problem keeping their Partnership slot.

LOUD - iconic world championship org that put Brazil on the map. Their history in VALORANT along with the Brazilian representation makes them a must-keep.

KRÜ Esports - the heart of LATAM, KRÜ has fans from all over the globe. Again, with their history in VALORANT and their popularity, they should be a lock-in for Partnerships.

Can’t Tell Quite Yet/Neutral:
Cloud9 - let’s be real. The budget roster moves this team has made have been questionable. However, Cloud9 is a prestigious org, and hey - they placed very well during the regular season. But yeah, cutting corners on your roster is not a good sign.

NRG Esports - the clout level here is a little bit lacking, and with the biggest personalities probably leaving (FNS, s0m, ardiis) it may make NRG feel stale. They certainly are a stable org, though, and I think they have a strong chance of staying in Partnerships.

FURIA - honestly, this org is the most likely out of the neutral category. Everyone knows about FURIA, and the fact that they’re a prestigious org gives them an edge. They also aren’t afraid of making roster moves, so I think it’s pretty likely they stay. However, I don’t think it’s a done deal like LOUD.

Leviatán - honestly a Walmart KRÜ. I feel as if they do everything KRÜ does but worse apart from their initial roster. They were looking so good, but then went as flat as cardboard. If they continue with their blandness, they might just get the boot. However, there’s no replacement org that’s better than Leviatán at the moment, but we’ll see.

bro said ZETA isn’t popular outside VALORANT but doesn’t realize the game we’re talking about is VALORANT
