Waiting patiently for updates on y0y and EG. As much as I have no hopes for him I still want to know where he's going, if not McDonalds.

everyone saying that 100T are building a superteam, its gonna be hella disappointing when they get GLYPH and infiltrator lmao

okay but valyn and leaf is crazy. those guys most likely are re-signing with G2 i don’t see why they’d leave

#42

I think the logic is that 100T have just left leaf so they have a tonne of money from selling the slot + salary has been freed up from not paying 5 players + 2 coaches or whatever they had, meaning they can use that extra money to pay higher in val

yea 100t are throwing them the bag along with zekken in hopes of persuading them

all that league money is now focused on valorant
who knows if they take it though

fair enough, its just that g2 and sen are the teams that pay the highest so it would be very hard to get those players esp the g2 guys since they had a good year, but of course nothing is impossible
