Agree, Spain and France shat the bed hard, all other regions that have invites have them based on merit

assist + should have been -bizons, -mrs -ucam -th and +saw, +19 +case

lmaooo cry more

G2 didn't have the leader of the biggest c̶u̶l̶t̶ fanbase in Valorant crying on twitter and making false accusations.

The most hilarious thing is that they won't even tell anyone wtf he said, as it's clear as a day it was not a "communication" a callout or any cheating, but probably a stupid meme instead, and it would be apparent that it's just a desperate to not lose TeamSheepMinds' fans' viewership in the group stage. I expect something similar to happen tomorrow if TSM finds themselves with the short end of the stick

Even if they beat them, they have no chance against TG

plus1

who's been dqd for this?

yeah, it's mostly people joking about this, but this "culture" is exactly the reason why na is the inferior region in every (e)sport that other regions play as well

probably best for your mental health

oh gotcha

they jumped on that so quick because subroza and all tsm fans share a single braincell, and it's usually in use by roza to come up with tweets that make the most impressions

didn't he already get to play on lan and got even outfragged by his teammates?

who's trembolonarage? and what did he say about mw?

no don't worry that's never going to happen

meanwhile sq imported themselves 5head

if you move somewhere aka you reside there, you can play there

you're talking as if someone liked you

Same, they just became my 2nd fav NA team

hopefully DE bracket or 3 GSL groups with a LCQ for a 3rd placed teams

mexican teams are eligible for latam north, but you can play in na with 2 player not from na. also in seven's case I believe he might be counted as local since he lives in na (I think, not sure)

That's quite a poggers result

This was meant as a reply to #6 btw

Masters 2 winner? Best masters 1 and 2 average placement?

omg I am so slow. I didn't even notice they got picked up by mf. ugh I hate this. why do I always get all my oce esports news from random twitter, hltv or vlr threads😭😭😭😭😭

wait wtf they really got fired/left 90 minutes before their match
they literally played 2 games for the org, at that was in a t2 tournament. T2 EVEN FOR OCE STANDARDS
edit: NEVER FUCKING MIND, IT WAS JUST ONE GAME. ONE SINGULAR GAME. hopefully their previous org picks them up

i have no idea what im doing for most of the matchups

oh that's pretty cool I had no idea

ez for McBTSMac aka Peace aka Chiefs (also kinda aka Kanga ig)

also when did Clutchyy get the boot, who's the fifth and why does wronski have the Lao flag?

plus the lion's share of the around 18-25k euros prize pool (all of them should be around this value, but they vary a bit for each, depending on what currencies the countries use etc.)

What a fucking legend

Lmao maybe top 15 in south asia, these teams have the strategical capabilities of ur averga play mm game

nooo how could you predict against urself???

ezMouz

kinda cringe

and bisons

ez for best striker

This the team that everyone was super mad they didn't get an invite?

thats actually a very clever explanation. cheers

ez for the best football player in this decade

aussie fans?

how bro there's literally only 12 vct spots

yes, it's not riot's job, that's why they're not judging whether you are from there, but whether you live there

no they're just cis in the rules of vct, vrl and csgo

yeah your example is exactly why nationality doesn't count. imagine you move to a country for several years, have perfectly assimilated into their society, and pretty much plan to stay for the rest of your life, you just can't get the citizenship because say it's difficult for foreigners to get a citizenship in the country. and then you simply couldn't participate in a tournament because you are not a citizen. it just doesn't work like that

yup it's really unfair that this way only one of the turkish teams will go to relegation instead of both

no way bro t1 has to be vct teams, t2 the better vrl teams and t3 the worse vrl teams and better vrc teams

for the qualifiers, at least that's what the rules were last season, you could join any of the 3 qualifier no matter if you had 0 russians or turks, I think there was a Turkish team in the EU qualifier this time around as well - Digital Athletics

and about xeta, this specific ruleset only applies to emea, but if something like that came to fruition in na or korea, i think they'd follow the lol example, where players stop counting as imports after playing and residing in the region for 3 years, so xeta would not count as a local player in NA just yet.

say that 3 years would already have passed and he was considered a na local player, and he decided to move back to korea, I think he'd be immediately considered as a local player in korea

I don't think nationality matters too much in this, local players are defined as Locally Trained Players, which indicates their long-time residence, or playing for teams from that region for a longer period of time would make you one, instead of your nationality.

also even if thry got relegated from vct, which I highly doubt, they definitely wouldn't be getting a sub just to play in the cis vrl. they're a british org and already have 3 players, a coach, and more staff that make them eligible for vrl northern, so I'm 99% sure they'd just play there

are you really pointing to the rules of a whole different tournament???
