I agree but zeta and xipto are going to champs anyways so it doesnt matter

Imma be honest I genuinely think someone wants to eliminate jp teams as fast as possible...

It's still hard
Diff management, no bootcamps
Just pure shoot

why u pick zeta down 6-1 ?

I might've jinxed myself. Got ecoed after I sent this :<

Wanted to pick BOBA +4.5 for map 3 but odds kept changing so I just picked moneyline smh. I guess fate thought I was over myself that's why I lost 13-11

Simple answer: not enough players(also, the players that are there are not good enough), even when looking at GC, not many have even reached Radiant rank

The reason for esports in general is the same as the other person said, not enough women playerbase interested. For Valorant specifically it's a bit more complex since it's the esport with the highest amount of women players. The short answer is CSGO. Valorant is a spiritual successor to CSGO, that's why most T1 pros are ex CSGO players. And of course CSGO is a male dominated esport, so most of the top pros naturally are men. However, the more years the game has, and the more distinct it becomes for CSGO, this gap should decrease as long as it keeps its high women playerbase. I dont have the exact numbers, but I willing to bet Valorant has the highest percentage of women by far compared to any other epsorts title. Also, all the stuff people like to say about "reaction time" has no basis in science. For the majority of adults who regularly practice hand eye coordination (for example playing video games), there is no virtually no difference in physical attributes between gender (or even age for the most part). So don't believe anyone who says bullshit like "men have a biological advantage in video games", because it's untrue.
