Probably some sort of lower final but yeah

Emea

Congrats

2

No… m80 tried it in t2 last year and they weren’t so successful

Riot interfered bts…
Pro city basically means pros (t1,2 maybe 3) and high leaderboard radiants won’t play ranked… it’s outside riot’s control and they don’t like that

Also basically any1 got in after a while and it killed the level of play and some started sniping (allegedly)

💀

Are those really buffs…
Also sage is a popular pick on icebox and gets a good amount of game time on corrode

What agents do u like to play…
Pick one per map or one for multiple maps… ideally u wanna be playing agents with a similar playstyle
Create a playbook; plays u like to do and look at vods from players who one trick that agent and copy some stuff and learn the small nuances of the agent

If ur main agent per map gets taken u fill but u insta lock ur main agent and whatever u do don’t play kayo…if u are inclined to play him learn phoenix or yoru

Yeah that as well

Yeah riot won’t do that ever cuz that would mean they accept their system is flawed

Not going cuz he has to sort out his Paris visa

Yeah exactly and usually teams from other regions struggled against playstyle besides g2…
Envy struggles as well but they have good firepower that bails them out

The French embassy can basically call him to request documentation or an interview at anytime… if he leaves the country during during this period he’d only be jeopardising his chance at getting his visa

Aren’t they a shoot first ask questions later kinda team… basically prx without the defaults but they have good ult plays

D1 just

But I’m not playing again till at least mid September cuz I travelled so I’m gonna drop back to plat…

U tried… that’s better than 80-90% of people…
U will find some1 else for u… she probably missed the best person for her…
Focus on yourself and ur happiness cuz it will hurt for a while…

Still doesn’t depend on him.., the French embassy can decide to not give him an appointment within the 2 week window

Lev was playing Jenga with their roster

Why boot a guy u just signed after 5 games when there’s a long off season to try and test stuff out…like the game could change a weeks b4 the first tourney of next season

Oh no

Pipe organ

U could be radiant sure but there’s multiple ways to get there and so many bad apples

1. Horrible comms but great mechs
2. Stack abused
3. Stream sniper
4. Intentional griefer

It doesn’t benefit challengers because u could be one of the above however if ur unsigned and somehow get the clearance to play with actual t1/2 pros and they like what u do in game i.e ur comms, mechs, ideas, shot calling, etc u fast track the whole ranked into trials process to find a team…
I’m an aspiring pro or t2 player interested in t1 vlr in na I’d wanna be in pro city asap

Also premier… most people play with friends.. u could prolly still scout from the ranked pool and find a diamond in the rough

Yeah tricky to balance out

Pro city didn’t die cuz it sucked last time… if I remember correctly riot basically interfered bts and forced tarik to close it down cuz basically pros didn’t q ranked anymore

Somewhere in SEA if ur looking for the crowd interaction…
Japan really ain’t that different except u have t2 Japan on which is more popular over there

10mans or Rank s or Fpl equivalent for pros in Na (vct till t who knows), high ranked streamers and aspiring players who are vetted to play in the system…
Basically ranked but u don’t get the random no commer or random kid who’s gonna complain after losing pistol etc

Tarik could and probably would love to but riot will say no cuz they don’t like 3rd party interference without their say so

He would need people he trusted in those regions to help mod it and while he may get that help, riot may not like it cuz it would mean most of those pro’s basically won’t play ranked and that’s why they stopped it the first time around in NA… it basically became a pseudo faceit… I guess they don’t mind losing one region but every region would hurt their numbers somehow

Do teams have more games… some teams have played max 10 games and if u snuck into playoffs and u are a bottom feeder 12 in 7-8 months of comp play

I hope Talon win however RRQ are one of the last teams in APAC u’d wanna play when there’s a decent break in between and they can anti Strat u

They can’t completely ignore past achievements cuz that increases their chances of getting a visa compared to starting fresh; however they shouldn’t just recycle the dog water players that have been in the league

However if they start trials asap and start contacting players immediately like TH did pre-2024 they should hopefully have something to work with especially if they can move them to na asap to start getting some decent scrims against na 2 and any other t1 teams that don’t go on a full break for the early part of the off season

They are guaranteed trials for a spot on furia

If I’m furia I’d sign spike silentzz Lz and maybe look for 2 new guys around them

M8 with a psychologist… if they didn’t choke they should comfortably be in playoffs

Sure but this recent glow up is going to be the latest competitive patch… I’d rather them than having mibr go and just repeat Toronto again

Could they have realistically gotten Sato…. Like considering Sato speaks English to a very high level there’s no world loud would have been at the top of his list of teams to join considering the org doesn’t spend a lot relatively to other teams and he can join anybody

They performed well during one part of the year with tejo… if they make champs they are just gonna be a free win for most teams

Also in the unlikely scenario that mibr win today and get 9 points
If they tie with some1 else on 9 points in americas the decider is h2h for the whole year so mibr can still sneak in

https://liquipedia.net/valorant/VCT/2025/Championship_Points

No points for playoff games
3rd gets 4 points
4th gets 3 points
1 and 2nd auto qual to champs

He was immo 3 when he was streaming regularly while casting close to radiant and usually gets radiant…
He might be top 1% but his top 10% aim is good enough to be a pro… he also understands the game macro wise with good positioning he can do a very good job

That’s a stretch… top 6 should be their realistic target

Deleting twitter was one of the best things I did for my sanity

If they play at that level or 70% they should beat teams that are weaker

The problem is the consistency… no European football is actually a blessing for them

Yes

Keep eeiu zander
Maybe cryo asuna kess
They could build the perfect roster on paper but the time difference, changing metas (new agents, diff map pool and map changes) and just the lack of proper matches between champs(that’s assuming they make chance… their season could be over in a couple days) and when the season starts next year will kill most of what they do…like u practice but ur next match is in 3-4months ur just gonna overthink ur pracc and tinker with stuff that might be working now and not later and vice versa…

They should shop but be realistic with their shopping

As much I like the guy a coaching change is a priority… if they don’t kick zikz change the assistants and analysts cuz they need a new perspective on the game

Cryo has to go or change his playstyle on entry duelists and that’s deffo possible with the off-season time and help from a new coach

Asuna can go if cryo starts playing the entry stuff well and they can get a flash init and 2nd duelist flex or they make one… Maybe Koala cuz he’s willing to learn stuff and he’s a solid duelist

Keep Kess or pickup a superstar senti

As long they don’t put him on smokes and the team he joins should JL not ascend have a gameplan then he should be fine

Talon

First game in t1 and new roles
Not even double digit games on the agents… he has a lot to learn

Flex
But since saadhak is playing senti’s, initiator now
