16 Europe, 12 Asia, 6 Americas
Why 34? I know one of the rule is don't take it too seriously, but 32 is the perfect amount.

Trying to make as most countries as possible, It was originally 32 but I didn't want to let Team Balkans and Baltics out

Also I had this unwritten rule of including every country that had one representative in VCT historically if possible (Unfortunately, countries like Ukraine, Morocco, Norway, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, and others, didn't have a large enough number of pro players to make a reliable roster, so that's partly why I deciced to make region-based teams like the Baltics or Balkans)

Also I think the coaches should be from any nationality. For the roster building I think including a national coach is cool but for the actual tournament I think any country should be able to have any coach

Yeah, it was really tricky, especially for Czechia, Poland and Hong Kong. I thought the same but I wanted to keep it as national as possible

PRX HC coaching in an EMEA team? Seems like Happy is a much better fit for a team with M8, KC and TL players to me

That's like saying fns is Indian or s0m is Korean, true but in this context it's 100% refutable

really cool idea but some of the player choices are off a bit. Marved would be smokes for Canada with Tenz flex. ardiis would probably be the UKs flex cause he grew up here (unless you think he would choose to represent Latvia then fair enough) and mistic would probably be there instead of soulcas. Also boostio would probably be USAs sentinel and igl instead of victor. But still really cool idea and would be hype to see

The easier answer for Canada would have been Marved in smokes, TenZ in flex and FNS in sentinel as the IGL, but I honestly think TenZ is not that good as flex. You have 3 players with similar roles and I'm not really sure if they could mix that well. I think going for a more firepower based team is the best approach. Marved doesn't perform well when not playing with controller, the same goes for TenZ, and FNS generally doesn't perform individually either. Since FNS has only played with Chet and Crashies as the second caller, I don't really know how he would develop on this team, he has always said that he doesn't like playing on teams that he has no control over. FNS>Zander in IGLing, but Zander fits better on this team. Mistic was in the original draft, but mostly overlapped with Boaster in that controller role. Boostio is a really great IGL, but Ethan is showing off the work NRG is doing, Boostio could have easily been on the team.

I mean... I guess? Click is probably the best German playing in EMEA, but Guard Tex in that duelist was really something else. If Tex sticks to that Sentinel role, then yeah, Click would definitely take over in that duelist role

Marved can't IGL and overlaps with TenZ in the controller role. And Demon1>Zekken could happen, they are close players in skill, but Zekken is more flexible

Currently, sure. This list was made when GE was getting absolutely shit on. LF is an ok player, but he lacks a lot of consistency, sometimes he plays like the best player in the team, and other times he plays worse than Polvi

I get the Demon1 change, but I think that Zellsis is a non-negotiable asset. SEN wouldn't have won Kick-Off and Madrid without him (and johnqt)

EG wouldn't of won champs without boostio, boostio is a way better or at the very least more proven IGL than ethan or zellsis (whichever one u pick to IGL)
both give the team good vibes

#42

Frags

–

Fair enough I guess. USA has an amount of pros so big that you could do at least 3 rosters that could win a Valorant World Cup. I think that most of EG's success comes from Potter and (mainly) Demon1's monster performance. Remember that EG was a mid-table team before Demon1, but I'm not putting Boostio's IGLing in doubt. I think that any roster that has Sentinels, NRG or imported players can make it big in this kind of event

demon1 was the solution because he could play jett more than anything(they literally didn't have a jett player before that)

Since Invy cannot be added (as 3 TS members are there), - JessieVash + Emman (NAOS) both IGLs but Emman is much flexible with other initiator agents. But JessieVash is much experienced.

I think that having either of them is valid. Idk I just don't think that it's that crazy having t3xture over buzz, ideally you'd have both of them playing, but I don't think that Buzz is that reliable in other roles

From the roster examples you lack of knowledge about some of the countries and that’s okay, the idea is very good tho still good job

Ye, covering 34 rosters is hard. I think it's the most obvious in APAC, where I went with the safest picks (for example Thailand, India, or Vietnam)

You haven't researched enough, you mixed up some players nationality.
For example, Russ is from UK, not India. You should replace Lightningfast there.
Other than that, it looks good.

https://liquipedia.net/valorant/Russ description and also watch the announcement, GE present him as Indian. And also, you can't have 2 imports in the same team, so it would be impossible for him or polvi to be in GE if Russ wasnt Indian. https://twitter.com/GlobalEsportsIn/status/1704480961830989928 so errmm yeah I think I did enough research🤓

your 1st source still doesn't mention Russ as Indian; it says British of Indian descent. But then I saw the twitter post and your reasoning for the 2 imports which made sense. Thanks for letting me know!

Idk, NRG are saying that M80 are farming them in scrims. FNS hasn't played in a bit, so I think that going for a more firepower based team is the best approach for these kind of players.
