bro
having good placements is not consistency

getting a similar placement every event is consistency
example: FNC from Copenhagen 2022 - Champions 2023 (4th, 5th-6th, 1st, 1st, 4th)
example: OPTIC/NRG from Reykjavik 2022 - Tokyo 2023 (1st, 3rd, 2nd, 5th, 4th)
example: DRX from Reykjavik 2022 - LOCK//IN 2023 (5th-6th, 5th-6th, 3rd, 3rd/4th)

meanwhile - LOUD:
2nd, 11th-12th, 1st, 2nd, 7th-8th (free playoff bye), 3rd

Heretics vs PRX finals 🙏🙏🙏
HERETICS boutta give PRX their third 2nd place finish

they were good but not consistent??

Reykjavik 2022 - 2nd
Copenhagen - grouped 0-2 in series
Champs 2022 - 1st
LOCK//IN - 2nd
Tokyo 2023 - bombed out 0-2
Champs 2023 - 3rd
Madrid - beat chinese teams to get top 4 (realistically 5th or 6th place)
Shanghai - DOWNFALL

CHAMPS 2022 - LOUD OPTIC DRX FPX FNC XSET
LOCK//IN 2023 - FNC LOUD NAVI(FPX) DRX NRG(OPTIC)

21-27: NRG, M8, GX, VIT, BBL, RRQ, ZETA

28-33: FURIA, MIBR, KOI, BLD, GE, DFM

why u making NAVI fans look bad man...
LESS is the 2nd best player in this game (after Aspas)

10/10:

SLOTS DISTRIBUTION BY RIOT (2021-2024):
151 TOTAL SLOTS (including Bren Esports for Berlin 2021 and FPX for Reykjavik 2022)
EMEA 41, AMERICAS 53, PACIFIC 39, CN 10

3 of lev kru 100t g2 and 3 of kc fnc fut th will qualify
LEV = FUT TH (NAVI) > KRU 100T > KC > G2 > FNC

EMEA or PRX winning Shanghai for sure.

actually true
Reykjavik - EU's 2 best teams werent there
Copenhagen - bombed out 0-2
Champs 2022 - fluked the win
LOCK//IN - mickey mouse tournament - 2nd
Tokyo - bombed out 0-2
Champs - snuck into 3rd by beating FLUKENATIC
Madrid - snuck into playoffs by beating only Chinese teams
Shanghai - aint making it

unlucky seeding
but TEAM HERETICS is the team im rooting for from EMEA (since NAVI out)

no way im supporting:
APAC/AMERICAS/FNATIC (free playoff run) or KCORP (free playoff run)/FUT (didnt give NAVI 1st seed and let TL sneak into playoffs)

CHOKERS

TH 2-0

No NAVI in Shanghai rn and my 2nd fav team rn is TH
les go Heretics

not bandwagon

he the best emea igl

FPX(NAVI) couldve snuck into 2022 if they were at reykjavik
unlucky

GOATS OF VALORANT SO FAR:
GAMBIT 2021
OPTIC 2022, LOUD 2022
FNATIC 2023

?

clownfest format

bdog

biased

WHERE IS SUYGETSU FOR VIPER???

WHERE IS ANGE1 YORU??????????
#1 YORU
UR MISSING A PLAYER IN UR LIST

THIS RANKING IS FOR OVERALL REGION STRENGTH (not just the top teams)

PACIFIC > EMEA > AMERICAS > CHINA

u got it right

americas is in shambles too wdym?

even Erik (d00mbr0s) confirmed it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_y5wd2b2VYk
11:00 in the video

EMEA: used to be FNC vs TL, couldve been FNC vs GMB (if M3C didnt disband), now FNC vs FPX/NAVI

AMER - LOUD LEV KRU

lmfaooo

it also fits a Masters 1, possibly Masters 2, Champions, and a KICKOFF event into the spring break, summer break, and winter break for a majority of kids (majority of viewers of Valorant)

Im not factoring everything and I am not some expert schedule person. Could something like the following be possible for Valorant?

Jan 1 - Jan 14: 2 week break
Jan 15 - Feb 28: Regional 1st Split
Mar 1 - Mar 14: 2 week break
Mar 15 - Mar 31: Masters 1
Apr 1- Apr 14: 2 week break
Apr 15 - May 31: Regional 2nd Split
June 1 - 14: 2 week break
June 15 - June 30: Masters 2
July 1 - July 14: 2 week break
July 15 - July 31: LCQ?
July 31-August 14: 2 week break
August 14-August 31: Champions
September-November: Off/Season + Game Changers
December: Kickoff Event? similar to LOCK//IN (all franchising teams)

Regional Splits are 8 Weeks:
The format is the same as 2023 Regional Group Stage (All teams in a region are in the same group and top 6 or top 8 from the group qualify to playoffs

1. If there are 12 teams in a region, 67 matches would take place during the group stage if all teams match up against each other - maybe 8-9 matches every week (7 weeks of groups).
2. 1 week of playoffs after groups
3. 7 weeks of groups + 1 week of playoffs = 8 weeks

EMEA/AMERICAS ONLY (I dont know about some Pacific coaches)

S+: Potter
S: ENGH, Mini, Atom, d00mbr0s, Kaplan + Drewspark, Chet + Tanizhq, goked + Itopata,

mini doesnt do everything now

ur a fucking sped person
stop spreading misinformation

Mini basically discovered Alfajer (no one else knew about Alfajer, but mini had the scouting skills to go for him)

are u fucking stupid??
before 2023 franchising era
FNATIC were known as the team that would cook the most stuff during breaks in between stages
FNC also did this in 2023

now with Elmapuddy, FNC didnt change much, and they are worse

add scouting skill as a stat (mini: 100)
add d00mbr0s adaptability: 100

remember 2022 and 23

fpx/navi had like 50 different comps for each map

add scouting skill as a stat (mini: 100)
add d00mbr0s adaptability: 100

ive somehow never seen someone call him 007
tho i didnt watch many nrg games last year

oh ight thx

who is 007

idk the reference

edit: i meant some player is getting called 007 (who is it)

PACIFIC: PRX DRX T1 GENG
AMERICAS: LEV LOUD 100T SEN
EMEA: HERETICS NAVI FUT FNATIC (fnc saving strats rn. but in stage 2, FNC > KC)
CHINA: EDG ? ? ?
