Both ascension teams relegated. ROFL
in all honesty m8s should be doing better than they are they just need better coaches
yeah i'm sure their new coaches will automatically win 12-3s and 12-4s for them
probably win more of them if they know how to use timeouts and ult cycles correctly, unlike g0k0d
with that logic if 2g had spike since the start of the season and zap didnt have a crashout they would contend but yeah...
they would have though what? not having your full roster is an inherent disadvantage. They would have at least had way closer matches, and then maybe made more changes that worked around their performing talent instead of having to make rushed changes without building chem
what i mean is that things arent fair for some teams unlike how they are for them cuz they even have a huge fanbase and m8 didnt get a good coaching staff from the start so they did this to themselves for kicking x6tenz even after he ascended a team of milkers
but their group was rlly hard tbh. Imo they couldve qualed for playoffs in the other group insted of navi or kc maybe
FUR, 2G, LOUD and LEV they would insta beat. they could give any of the midtable teams (eg, mibr, 100t, nrg) a good fight and possibly win. i use the term half liberally, but they are guaranteed to beat the first 4 i listed
tbh ascension teams are meant to be middle of pack teams or bottom but if they are at top then its not a good sign for the region
? t2 teams being good enough to compete with top t1 teams isnt a bad sign at all
it means rest are stinker t1 teams getting farmed by tier 2. tho G2 core has already had tier 1 experience before so they aint really tier 2
tier 2 in valorant doesnt even exist t1 teams arent even rich enough to get the best t2 talent because of the buyouts, thats why there aint a gap, franchising is just as much of a bubble as an open qualifier but instead of economically its competitively.
