I said emea needs more marketable stars because it affects ratings and viewership. I didn't even diss leo, i know how skilled he is, yet I still get ratio'd for saying he has no aura.
Do yall genuinely believe that crap? Cuz if so then no wonder the scene is dying.
How is this ragebait. I think leo is a great player. But his lack of marketability is the reason why none of the casual playerbase fucks with fnatic much.
Brother what are you on about, you want casual players to watch VCT and follow it?
Well of course! Why are you acting like that's a crazy statement? The bigger the community, the better the scene, no?
Kinda but valorant esports as a whole isn't as popular as it should be. Superstars are what brings fans in.
Ask any swiftplay or silver who leo is and they won't know. I want vct to get more viewership. And I'm not nessecarily saying leo needs to change, he can act however tf he wants. I'm just making an observation, and trying to understand why the community disagrees with me about it.
EMEA fans still acting as if leo was playing shows just how much they need more marketable stars
Yeah I dont get how ppl act like leo can have a legacy like a tenz or aspas when the casual playerbase probably doesn't even know his name.
He is the exact opposite, what are you talking about. This is exactly why I made this post, because of this delusion right here.
yeah, sorry to say Yistyy you are the delusional one here.
Aura Meaning for Gen Alpha
For Gen Alpha, "aura" refers to someone's cool or "it" factor, similar to a Gen Alpha version of swagger. If someone "has aura," it means they are so cool that when they walk into a room, you feel their presence.
Aura can also be described as the vibe or energy someone gives off, often used to describe someone's overall presence.
Additionally, Gen Alpha describe things as having "aura points," which refers to how cool someone is, and you can lose aura points by doing weird or cringy things in front of people.
If you dont think Leo has a cool factor you are joking.
No one fucks with leo tho. Ask any silver who plays swiftplay who he is and they probably don't know him. Meanwhile everyone knows guys like TenZ.
I want vct to get more attention, but its this thing with emea that makes no one care for it.
I'm tired of that 'aura' bullshit.
Tiktok is getting to your heads guys.
nah I dont have these words in my vocabulary. but you gotta learn some of this shit to understand what ppl are saying online.
If you're gonna bring up unrelated things, then I'm gonna mention that yay owns LRU 14-0.
cant believe i'm having talks on aura but what do you mean by aura?
if you mean flashiness then yes, leo doesnt have that.
but if you mean insane confidence, calm and clear, leo has that. he is ice cold even after clutches.
What i mean is he has 0 potential to be a face of the league despite his immense talent. His lack of personality outside of the game is part of the reason for this.
not every player has to be marketable.
also emea fans are tied more to orgs than players compared to NA.
That's fair. But I was just making an observation, and the community's perspective on it was completely misguided, which is why I made this post.
sentinels is a bit different since 99% of their fanbase is from valorant and they rely upon it.
FNC, KC, TH etc have been building their fanbases through multiple esports. FNC could revamp their roster and their numbers would still be the same
maybe because you say aura? I don't think its used to represent what you mean.
For EMEA, I think Boaster will prolly be closer to the face of the league because lets be honest the guy is a performer at the core.
By your logic of lack of personality, Aspas, Zekken, Jawg will never be the face of the league. Because I dont see that big of a personality in any of them either. It would be Piggie Boostio or Zellsis, the vibes guys.
leo has aura but it isn’t “face of valorant” aura
tenz aspas kk have that aura, don’t know of anyone else who does
Yeah i guess this is the point I'm trying to push, but many people in the replies aren't seeing it.
Of course Leo isn't marketable right now... how do you expect him to be, when he's been out of it for a full year?
He was very mainstage in 2023 and prior, though. I feel like you should be aware of that already
TenZ is the best example of this. He bridged the gap between the casual playerbase and vct better than anyone. But now he's retired.
