Tier 1 team vs tier 3 team, who wins, obviously navi wins just based on players alone
Wait hang on, faze doesn't even have a roster at the moment, navi play a 5 v 0 lol

Boostio does indeed exist. Even if in this imaginary world it is a good idea for them to go full prx and not properly have an igl, they will definitely change things because they had their chances and it didn't work. The boss is an irrational human being who fired their coach halfway through the season after they looked better, you think he's not gonna change a squad that can't attack?

Marved is a good player, but he wasn't a good igl. They should bring in an igl. EG have an igl....

Well which is it make up your mind, it isn't lukewarm, liquid is probably favourite in group d and fut has a good chance in their group against t1. If this was a 90 50 10 I'd put no-one EMEA getting out of groups other than fnatic a 10

Both getting through groups

You could argue the opposite, if a player can do well in a bad system then it's more impressive.

It does make sense as the entire point of franchising is that some organisations stay in tier 1 so they have stability in their position and investors aren't scared to put money in. Adding a relegation system would lose that and mean franchising has no point and they should go back to the pre-2023 system.

If they were to do the us again, it would be best to switch to East Coast masters miami or something

You may not like it, but the idea of franchising is that teams with financial stability and clout get in. Because of this however, I can soooooo see riot replacing some other org for bleed just due to how much money they have. The franchising system is due to a normal league system being unstable as if too many financially unstable teams get into tier 1, tier1 could just implode as esports isn't as lucrative as a sport like football that will stand many years after valorant dies. They have tried to make things more competitive by adding ascension so teams can be in tier 1 for 2 years, this is so tier 1 doesn't just become washed

The way I figured out was math debating was was in y7 humanities where I shouted out proudly I am the math debaiter and me getting in to trouble and people laughing at me and a small few calling me a legend as they left

Believe in EDG bro, people are only super high on kru due to recentcy bias.

No it makes sense because you can have different reasons for putting in different people, it's like creating a recipe for a piece of art, it doesn't work that way. Not that this is art in any way shape or form

To be fair the timeline where liquid somehow loses to navi is the same one where they get grouped cause navi ain't making it out

People can have different reasons to putting different people on a list, when something is about feeling it doesn't have to meet some consistent criteria

I remember him saying he has loud players in as insurance in case they absolutely pop off and he looks like an idiot

Group D to quote platchat is the group of disappointments

Canada and Argentina left the chat.
Americas is quite literally two continents

Also instead of talking about countries just talk about overall player base. The regions are fairly even in player base though apac is much larger which is why eventually they will beat the other regions

Florescent could probably play in normal tier 1 and not look out of place

Bro I play astra am silver 1 and feel braindead playing the game. I think if you play valo or are on this website there is something wrong

All the double elim cringers about to call the World Cup worthless

Bro is gatekeeping being a controller

Yeah you're right Fut should be above Navi, they went 1-2 at Tokyo and navi went 0-2

Gimme the 16 what's the regions

Talking about their future take is probably more about them being an unknown team as they did get to play that much at Tokyo due to being grouped. I was more surprised that NAVI were above FUT. Navi in recent form are a bottom feeder team, until they fix their co-ordination it will stay that way.
Navi are the team in my opinion is the team with the most potential to place literally anywhere I the tournament because given the caliber of their player they should be winning convincingly and not making so many mistakes, but they are. Navi are the SEN of EMEA(allat)

The headhunter is worst piece of utility in chamber's kit for pro play, information is really important at a high level so the trip is better and the teleport is so obviously better it's the whole reason chamber is played at all. The headhunter is a great ability and is fantastic for ecos im not saying it is bad but it isn't the best of his toolkit.

Chamber is fine as he is at the moment no buffs needed

That's a big time leap, less than a week ago vs year ago( not sure didn't watch the game at that point)

9 oh you editted

Why is zyppan on there then? Replace him for shao

Chronicle? Yes a flex initiator but you put leo at 1 so thought you'd remember

PRX

APAC should be higher on controller marved and pancada fell off this year, s0m is the only person carrying them

Sen fans loving tenz is the exact reason he won't get dropped, if tenz leave it will be by his accord not the org. The org love him

Fake fan, Something clears

As much as I hate it, it's true. I've played classical and all the people who play are 60+ years old

FUT 2-1 EG . This is my pick for upset

This would be the funniest timeline

I could see it happening, my pickem has them going through.
Not navi though lol

Did they they not get pretty far but nothing special at Tokyo?

Group D is the battle of who fell off the most, TL have always gotten pretty far but nothing special. Loud however got 2nd at lockin but bombed out at tokyo, did they fall off or are they goated. DRX was 1st pacific in the regular season but lost to PRX and fell off at lockin. NAVI got grouped last time OMEGALUL but was 2nd in the regular EMEA season coming 4th in playoffs, yet again this is a team who fell off.

Who fell off the hardest and who will acend again?

Basic pickem picked favourite apart from in group D DRX getting grouped💀

I read the title, thought it was European Union girlfriend viewership

Given 100T probably makes roster changes next year and the guard probably doesn't, the guard will probably win when they meet next year as they will have had more time together.

Map ban advantage is also something going for them

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

If fnatic win again, that's dynasty, only team that wins in 2023 would be wild

Laz good, chamber isn't broken.KJ better

The eco weapons are better in valorant and economy takes longer to get back up in Cs. There are also less rounds in a valorant game so saving is a higher percentage of the game you are giving up
