Thank goodness, someone with a brain. Your first 2 paragraphs are all any one needs to read if they're confused about NA not having more slots.

Riot wants VIEWERSHIP and GROWTH from this game. You get that from these "minor" regions which may not be as skilled yet, but the player and fanbase will be absolutely gigantic.

Most people will never understand this on the site though, because their level of thinking is absurdly low.

ya , absolute jupiter

EMEA is in FLUX right now haha. Any of those top 4 can beat each other on any given day. Group A was a joke. BUT Acend have only themselves to blame after how they approached that VS game. I really don't think they came in well prepared for that. It's entirely possible SMB take them down in the next fight, assuming SMB beat paper rex.

Yeah, I agree with that for 2022 onwards. Maybe even going forward in Berlin.

BUT the way this game changes and evolves, it's entirely possible that Gambit aren't even considered those guys by middle of next year. We've seen alot of teams come and go from the top in this game. It's hard to predict.

That's not actually true. yeah CSGO was never massive in Korea, but vision strikers is formed from one of the top korean teams that have been around since 2017, MVP PK. Their coach gloW and ex player also played on several international LANs against EU and NA cs teams.

They don't have to have been CS major winners to build good fundamentals. Most EMEA teams haven't played a SINGLE LAN before.

Ignoring all of that. VS have done the work to play a unique style of valorant that even NA doesn't really play (whether it's better or not, time will tell). So they can be an outlier even IF their core never touched CS.

You don't go a 107 game winning streak (100 of which include not dropping a single map) by playing the same type of game as everyone else in your region.

yo... you good?

You people sleeping on NUTURN with hyeoni is crazy

facts

Sean Gares and SEN players said that after iceland. Back when people were still thinking FPX were God tier. I remember the clip specific, they talked about the strength of Gambit, Acend and "new" (now current) G2. That is definitely not relevant in today's fast moving world of valorant.

Of course EMEA players are talented, but the way they are playing as a team is below the likes of NA. That to me is a symptom of inexperience, as is mental crumble on LAN. They're symptoms of the same issue, inexperience and fortitude.

Honestly, 5 through 7, possibly 8 could literally be in any order.

I don't know if you can look at how Acend played against VS and be confident that them vs Envy isn't a 50/50 battle.

They're 1-1 against SMB in head to head series, so I don't believe that just because they won on LAN they're definitely above them.

But, I'm not mad ze list.

to be expected, valorant draws a younger, less mature crowd

This. It's literally art.

A man of reason first and foremost, Stan second haha.

Agreed

Bro, relax haha. I am an EMEA STAN

But the cold hard truth, we are a level below NA right now. My mind won't change until we get results that suggest otherwise.

There's also nothing wrong with that, the top teams are mostly comprised of players that have a strong competitive CS background. They don't have to have been major winners, but they have RECEIPTS and a track record. It's a more experienced region.

Teamwork wise, we have alot of development to do. Compare Acend's performance to VS today. You can lose count of the amount of times players were dying alone. Same in G2's matches.

It was quite worrying to see them tweet that VS "hit insane 1 in a thousand" type shots. If they think that's why they lost, they need to watch that game back and study it HARD.

No one wants to admit it, but that's who's running NA valorant (global valorant). ex tier 1-3 CS players.

Same can't be said about EMEA, there aren't nearly as many. so they need time to level up. NA Top 10ish teams are a level above most EMEA teams

No. The region as a whole just needs to level up a bit more. Otherwise it'll end up like turkey (no offense).

The top teams in NA are generally better, more experienced players. It's not that deep, EMEA just needs to catch up (in valorant). Not form some stupid dream team

32 frags in a 13-4 game wtf?

VS versus anybody at this point. That Haven performance was fucking unreal haha

Bro, 100%

Ya, looking like a chess move right now haha

vS on FIRE

Dude what's that symbol/flag next to your name? :O

honestly, how many ecos are these guys gonna win? I swear it's too easy to get ecod on this game lol. G2 got rekt on every eco vs sen too

haha, if that does happen. It just means sen lost a fair fight and then 100T deserved it, they beat whoever beat sen in that scenario likely.

Would you like them to support losers instead? Weird thread

Sick comment hahaha

Boys, we got ourselves a tournament

There's no chance they lose this

Omlet du fromage

Regional match ups are always iffy / back n forth. It is what it is

I like this haha

Great look for Zeta. They're currently up in total rounds even though it's 1-1.

3rd map should be a banger

Zeta let's get it!

I am liking them!

i think he means for champions.

Korea has shown competency as a region. What's the issue?

You can't seriously be mentioning Vikings in the same sentence as those other teams

no problemo!

this is not a website rational people would spend much time on. I promise you that.

Pro Tip: Limit your exposure to comments on this site to no more than 3 minutes per day. Life will improve vastly.

RIP NA cs

I said it before and I'll say it again.

Scrimbux are like Instagram models. Exciting, Juicey, you want more, but they are ultimately, devoid of substance.

-- Lord Basel

ooofh, that was tough.

Let's have a good clean fight. No inter region toxicity pls.

If the teams can respect each other, ya'll as fans need to level up and do the same,.

I felt this. I get angry at myself for even replying to people sometimes. I'm now making an active effort to only post positive responses and ignore everything else. But some of the shit I read here does hurt to read haha

you're so cool

I like the format of this and mostly agree. I wonder if any of these are gonna wildly incorrect though, that's where the fun is

Post here. I know a few girls that are good who play in this community. They have a discord etc where you might find people. GL
