pretty sure it's planed for valorant to join in for next year

to me it really feels like they are banging on making alfajer the second coming of prime yay by replicating the system optic had as closely as possible

I'm glad you braught up the salaries cause if im correct, only had buyout on her, rest were either dropped or with contract till this year and as #5 mentioned, the buyouts on t2 talent in emea might atually be crazier then importing unrestricted FA from other side of the world.

the game is changing so fast that if you just stop for a minute, you're behind, kind of the same reason why 3/5 optic players are not in T1 for next year even though they were the best just 2 years ago

tbh i think havng prx as their scrim partner helped them more then people give them credit for

well... there goes an attempt to have an actuall coversation

sub gugli for oxy then we can see

honestly there are no good turkish teams left, PCF has comeback, EF signed qutioner like month ago, SUP have loversrock and galakticos signed qw1 2 weeks back
he might need to look into other regions

apparently icy is the priority on tryouts rn but if he fumbles okeanos is hopefully the next up

it's gonna be pretty common for academy teams, unless you're T1, org are gonna be picking up promissing names from ranked leaderboards who are gonna be duelist players 95% of the times who afterwards get to learn a new role

he actually did have this reputation, unfortunetly officials are different kind of nerves which makes some people bit of a scrim deamons but that was also what demon1 was known as before EG

as long as he is putting up the best numbers of the whole EG team (and EG doesn't leave or get booted out of vct) he should be fine

she was called there last minute

from the start it has beem between SR, G2 and mibr, SR look the best right now, G2 have arguably the best roster ever but rezq seems pretty nervous playing on stage, if she shakes it off in time... gob bless the other teams, mibr really depend on if the whole team frangs or just senera and jelly but they seem heavily inconsistent

g2 vs mibr is lowkey early grands, whoever loses goes lower bracket run

not that i would complain, however script is the script

• they are the last 2nd seed remaining
• every GGC winner so far has been 2nd seed, first emea, then NA so now .... i think you can see the patern (:

last year had edg who were super promissing, unfortunetly their best player lizhi hadf serious health issues which 1) was a big hit to thier fraging power and 2) threw off thier team dynamic and as CarnageBTC said in the reply above this, the "just time" it takes might several years

amer: mibr, nrg, sen, g2
emea: kc, fut, th, fnc
apac: geng, t1, zeta, rrq
china: edg, blg, wolves, xlg

hopefully i won't forgot

as said, lime for duelist 90%
for the last spot i've heard nismo and magnum (and somewhere even paincakes) were heavily considered

going to gentle mates

i keep hearing about edg academy but it seems to be nowhere to be found, do you got any clue on that (also blg aparently have one as well)

yoru: marteen
kj: suygetsu
raze: jing
omen: mako
sova: leo
sage: sheydos

keep in mind that mixing chiwa in would mean that team with otherwise 4 turks would have to speak english (assuming bbl go with rosé as ptobably the best igl option)

autocorrect diffed unfortunately

im genuinely convinced that this BBL roaster is just for this year and they plan to fully replace it with BCF next year when all players can compete

#2 for acs
#1 for adr
#2 for akr

but fpx still went 0 - 3...

you're telling that to the guy with the most yosemite copium on the planet :)

also can we consider that they are playing with a sub

them or apeks, depends if apeks picks up fitinho or not

there were leaks they wanna sign sayonara for offseason

i honestly tought the same but seeing that both dfm and zeta were able to build decent teams without taking any of the riddle player i'm actually beliver that japan will be able to field 3 teams by 2026

probably not for T1 but for T2 surely he is

mb i'm already thinking as if it was 2025 since champs ended (cooked)

283 avg acs
67% clutchrate
comeback is right behind him in most of the stats, these 2 in T1 next year are gonna be anime worthy battle

doupt, but it was probably the only way he could keep a spot on the team

since primmie has looked good in t1 do you think some thai t2 teams will follow in talons footsteps and sign snappy, if so which ones /since i kinda doupt FS would drop johnolsen or xerxia potter)

supposedly tuyz refused playing duelist himself to the point where they couldn't even get him to try it in scrims for a long while and when they finaly did he was like "i ain't gonna ever play this" after couple games

BBL and M8 2025 but my man is shitting on the region that actually consistently does what he wants just because he's american

he is initiator player...

wai why is bonkar canadian?

DRX seemed to have their roster together bofore they announced it without leviathan so there is a big chance someone from GENG is gonna end up there (+ Im not giving up my lakia of valorant copium)

they were avg age of 20yo at the time

we're the region that prevented tham from having the most trophies for the past 4 years

munchkin to TS
lakia to DRX

or anywere else really, they are the only pacific trophy winners, quite a few teams would be willing to shuffle their roster last minute just to get them

there comes a time when a boy must become a man and switch to liquidpedia
(all love to vlr mods if they read this <3)

hard to pick just one so imma do honorable mentions asd well
EMEA: KC - TH
AMER: G2 - EG (assuming they sign yay)
PACIFIC: DFM - PRX but TS might be cooking
CN: BLG - FPX/JDG if they keep stew

will just noone talk about how he made ascension grads in pacific last year as well?

both ludwig and sean confirmed (sort of) they're not leaving, im just wondering if they are gonna stick or separate again cause i feel like there is so much talent and so little org in NA t2 that both orgs could field ascension winning roster simultaneously

jit could very well go back to sentinel
