what do you want? d is perfect for both. dfm vs tl is the most shit vs garbage match possible

drx were the worst team to reach top 4. people saying giants and koi bad?? like lol they arent, teams like bbl and talon were bad(not as good as giants and koi). drx definitely got easier opponents than nrg. and before people say they came close to loud in a bo5. you do realise they got another whole week to practice before that? like thats so different, they'll obviously improve if they have a whole week to prepare for an opponent, this obviously goes both ways. but drx's prep heavy style perfectly suits these long breaks

we need some player frag compilations, like specific players who didnt get much exposure before lock in. like leo and king

lol, igl isnt the one watching everyone's pov, and its not just upto one person only. its mostly onto the player to vod review and improve on this, and then the coach and maybe the igl can push him more towards improving and focusing on certain areas

i thought you meant a good coach like alecks could do that, but yea ok nvm

prx coach hasnt been able to instill that in players like forsaken and jingg, whwat will he change about something

another european to carry apac americas, tell me something new

true

complicated as i dont know shit about player contracts. usually a guy living in russia would ask for lesser than a guy living in(from) LA even after doing relatively same work.

emea pays less coz they have lesser clouts + the cost of living/expected salary is cheaper. but yea your point stands that liquid have money to spend

yea exactly, lothar can get very annoying and picky with his analysis. we dont want that good analysis. we want shitty analysis with the humour of mark , and the ability to go on absolute rants (british accent will be an added bonus)

a big org wont mind shifting from 15k to 30k if they can have one of the best player itw and instantly upgrade the roster

there are others like koi and giants, but you probably didnt know much about the background and shit which is okay. to sum it up there are quite a few options in emea

i think the reason they are having a 10 man roster is so that they can nurture the next yay, without having to pay his fat salary(not exactly but...). eg's goal of creating new talents is much more budget friendly, and not that crazy difficult to make it come true. yay would cost as much as 5 of those players in the roster, so very unlikely(still a chance though imo coz its yay after all)

valorant seriously needs a guy like mark goldbridge in the esports scene. a guy who has shit takes, malds a lot, and his rants are absolute gold. valorant world would be a better place with the existence of such a guy.

its not farming. riot investigation doesnt start 1 hour after something happens. what the fuck are your arguments. and as much as its about risk, its also about pr. NA lives in their bubble and only read and consume from that bubble. brazil and this player + the teams from br in general got so bad reputation from this. just coz people are angry and talking about it doesnt, mean ardiis meant it to farm. he was just trying to give shitty excuses, like he has done before

this was an example of NA fans just taking everything wrong their idols do as troll or joke. like lol he just said career affecting shit to a player justifying his loss in some way

NA drama is always gold, this time its with the brazilian spice. last time NA and brazil fought, zombs came out as the hero for few and absolute villain for others. this time though its more like liverpool vs brazil.

i mean isnt it similar to for example nrg scrims m80, and then m80's player nismo duo queues with zekken for ranked. like just coz zekken and nismo were chilling together and nismo pracced against nrg doesnt mean he has to share info. and secondly its quite common for teams to leak comps and vods of scrims and shit. boaster on the hiko sliggy sgares podcast said that they didnt prac loud when they came to eu for bootcamp because they were facing sentinels and it would be very likely that the guys on both teams still talk a lot with each other. so they totally avoided praccing a team like loud. nrg obviously knows what comes with shit like this. these are excuses as its never going to get proven and you'll come out as just crybabies. not knowing ever who was right

excited for how the studio will look like

h

zander already left igling. and dont go into wanting both a good mechanical player and a good igl. dephh was shit at both and hence critisized. but now even if the igl is just good at igling that's moer than enough

could've easily happened if the coaching staff wasnt ex xset

definitely, this match up is so much needed

W breeze hater. i dont like eg coz of ethan though

lmfaooooooo

nah they might be british but they dont hire incels

cool fnatic has been a vanilla team for too long, we do need our arch rivals in this val journey

that is why i am telling you to shut up

how much is it going to earn? my guess 7-8 million for the teams

only valid opinion is anything other than tenz. saying tenz means you're nothing but just a blind tenz fan, whose entire idea about esports starts with tenz and ends with tenz

nats just hasnt showcased it, more like liquid hasnt showcased it. but that literally doesnt mean nats is a worse or better player. you can have whatever opinion, but nats is singlehandedly the smartest player at this game, he is miles above the #2 player in gamesense, i am not talking about his setups or his lurks. its the way he takes 1v1s , its the way he predicts enemies position, its the way he uses his util.

tldr: sure you can have less as #1 sentinel for now, but nats will eventually come and show and you all will regret that we ever compared mortals like less and suygetsu to nats.

because they were always the 4th team in the region, a little worse to qualify

can we please shut up with peak tenz, its disrespectful to yay, nats, derke, aspas and others who actually performed in metas, where every team was competitive and the game was more than just who shoots better

people writing tweets doesnt mean shit. its the same copium cringe excuses you are all giving here on vlr. stop with this shit. i also saw a tweet of a brazilian fnc fan, and how people were almost willing to hit her because she was cheering for them. she also said the arena was hot, but not that level of unbearable, those are just excuses

fk off with these excuses. turkish fans showed up every day of the playoffs no matter whether fnc was playing or not. here brazilians didnt even bother to come if a br team isnt playing. turkish fans showed up and stayed for valorant, they respect the game and know how to actually have a good time.

yea coz loud vs nrg was fkn 18-16 map 3 overtime game. sen already lost the game the moment they entered. people realised how good fnc are, map 1 wasnt competitive and neither was map 2. and the viewership is still very close between fnc vs sen and nrg vs loud(like a 70-80k difference). it should be obvious what will happen if sentinels play a tourney with an actually good team

yea surely you can survive playing jett, a nerfed chamber and sage on all maps for an entire year. its true that you dont need a large number of agents to be flexible. but it also depends on what you play, for aspas and derke, them being able to play raze and jett is more than enough. yay needs to do the same, quite simple. yay's agent pool is just basically jett, or his team has to really push to find a way to integrate sage or chamber into the agent pool

bro forgot sanctions happened, a war happened, lost his org, his salary! bro also forgot to check stats, he statistically was still one of the best players in europe in 2022 with all that shit going against him and his team.

i dont agree with him but, yay needs to prove in this meta. its quite obvious yay is still only comfortable on jett and chamber. sage is not an agent you need to learn, so if the meta on a map doesnt fit jett or chamber, the team has to force sage which is quite dumb. you cant call that player the the undisputed best. although yay did perform previous to chamber release and obv in chamber meta. he just needs to show that either his jett is still enough to win some games, or show that he is actually flexible

i am talking about grand finals. if sentinels actually reach a grand finals, that means they have won 4-5 matches, that is enough to summon the entire fanbase. a hype grandfinal between any team and sentinels will reach 2 million+. this should be quite obvious

man really changed his flair to fnatic so he could write his thread in disguise

???????? who will add the competitive ruling? there clearly was a bug abuse by foxy9

no like there was a specific phrase given to him which included the words prince of valorant. you must've not noticed that part nvm

what did the casters/desk call leo? like something something prince of valorant. i want to know the exact term. pls if someone can help

3 LAN appearances
3/3 finals
2 trophies
the most consistent player
the most flexible player
the most reliable player

we dont need loud for that, sentinels in final alone would get 2.5 mil+ . loud can add another 500k to that though

unless sacy can take first duels at the same level as zekken, it makes no sense to play sacy on skye and zek on breach. that man has so much potential, holding a stun staring at a wall on A link watching minimap for 40 seconds in a round isnt his role.

yea ik, i am just saying its sort of very likely to happen. riot wont waste 4 months with no esports at all, they always learn and improve
