With this stupid SRB/2G match on hold, let's take a look at some other NA tier 2 prospects, NOT FROM SRB OR M80. Note I am just sorting by VLR rating and listing them.

sonofcar (Entry Duelist, 1.22 rating)
Probably the best performing prospect (non-SRB/M80) this split. Higher rating than everyone. I'm not sure what tier 1 team would want a Duelist replacement though. Possibly G2? FUR if they move koala back off entry (which I think they should)?

Derrek (Recon Init, 1.17)
Derrek put together a solid split. I still think he has clear tier 1 talent and a couple of teams (cough, c0m) could use a Recon replacement.

beeb (Recon Init/Viper, 1.17)
Joining D1 halfway through the split replacing dapr (i think), beeb actually put up solid numbers on a team with a lot of shooters (dynamic, Boomy, etc.) I think he is only this high from a small sample size, and it IS his first time in tier 2, so I don't think anything will come of this. But, he is someone to keep an eye out for.

Fair (Duelist/Flex, 1.15)
Highly touted about a year ago (iirc), Fair had quite a good split. I think it was him that was involved in Sean Gares's wintrading probe last year, or at least his team. With the ability to frag not only on Duelist but across other roles too (he has quite a couple games on Controller), he might be a sleeper pick for a roster change.

Zamal (Jett, 1.12)
Zamal has lots of games on Neon and Raze but in the last 90 days, has played 75 (!) games (95%) on Jett. I haven't really watched him and despite the numbers seeming solid, I can't imagine he's on many teams' radars.

jakee (Controller, 1.10)
Having a solid split, jakee was not spectacular statistically across the last 2 splits. Paincakes and zerona did leave halfway through the split, perhaps impacting his "usage rate" a bit in terms of impact. Despite him having tier 1 experience I don't see him really standing out to other teams.

florescent (Duelist, 1.09)
A sub for ADG, florescent only played 161 rounds (compared to 601 for SRB, for example), but still got decent impact. She clearly has the firepower to compete at this level. I'm not sure, however, that many teams will be looking for someone of her archetype here.

gMd (Controller, 1.08)
Joke's on him, he's never getting his chance in tier 1.

Now these are only stats for split 3. Over all 3 splits, are there any other players that stand out? I looked at VLR stats for VCL, Americas, and looked for players that fit the bill. Only two popped up: sorex and dark3st. Those 2, I think, should be favored over the bottom half of my list. However, dark3st is contracted to EG and I think I saw that FLY is building around sorex for 2027, so not too sure there.

Do you guys have any tier 2 players that I missed that you are keeping an eye on?

and pedophiles and assaulters get away every year
riot isn't even a criminal court like tf u expect them to do get records that they can't legally access?
if your TEAMMATES come out and say that you probably did it, then yeah. She's molescent to me, and even if it's NOT true (which it is), then we know she's a manipulative selfish egotistical player based on her time at SRG.

you mean, the person making the accusations (that had little real evidence behind them) was exposed for premeditatedly lying on her name because she had personal hatred and felt jealousy towards flor? the person that weaponised a past relationship that ended badly (without rape) because they knew they could send the internet into a dogpile and ruin her career?

just looked through your post history and you sure seem to hate leo yet you're willing to contribute to a slanderous, transphobic lie on the most prominent transgender member of the community

so now you're trying to make me seem like a leo supporter smh
no i'm hating on a manipulative toxic p.o.s. Her own TEAMMATES, the people she LIVES with, called the allegations true. In no way is it transphobic. In fact, I never mentioned the fact that she was trans once, you're insinuating that I'm being transphobic just because I don't support a horrible person. Scroll through my posts more before you start claiming sht about me.

Also it's not a lie. The text messages were ALL true, and there was just unsufficient evidence to fully hold her accountable; however, RIOT was also unable to OBTAIN that evidence, because RIOT is NOT an organization that can obtain these records legally, they would need to be the government and they are, well, not the government. So basically, RIOT was unable to properly obtain full info, so they closed the case.

The riot investigation is IRRELEVANT. Everybody who actually kept up at the time can clearly remember the google doc posted by an associate of "brick" and the person weaponising their story. Don't talk with authority when you don't know the first thing about the situation.

i clearly know more than you because there's no way to acquit besides an investigation. You said she's innocent because of a google doc posted by an associate of the victim?

I say she's guilty because of text messages published, statements from her teammates and coach, whom she lived with

i can't believe i have to defend myself from transphobia allegations because i'm criticizing a valorant player for being a manipulative, egotistical person with SA allegations and proven text messages and statements from her teammates/coaches.

just going to step in here for a second, you have to draw the line between transphobia and criticizing someone who is also trans. for the record I also think that flor did not commit sexual assault and her relationship with the other girl probably just had lots of miscommunications, but we will never know the full details of the story, and thinking otherwise certainly isn't transphobic.

the SA is unclear, but what is not unclear is that she's a bad person

Who are you to say that? You reference a statement posted by her teammates who effectively said she was mentally troubled. You don't know her at all. And, who cares if she is? That's completely irrelevant to the discussion.

It's not about "criticising somebody who is trans", anybody can do what they like. It's the hypocrisy that is the problem. Which do you think actively causes more harm to the transgender community: Making derogatory and offensive (yet ultimately not that impactful if ignored) comments during a watchparty, or supporting a false dogpile that adds to the (false) stereotype that transgender people are more likely to commit crimes of that nature. Which one of these things causes more real world harm? I know which one I choose.

in what way am i a leo supporter? I criticize leovil, i criticize molescent.
I'm criticizing standing up for a person who has proven to be in the bottom 10% of human behavior. And just to be clear, absolutely ZERO people are accusing florescent because she is trans. We criticize her for being a bad person.
her teammates said, and i quote, "screenshots and conversations from older relationships show an undeniable pattern of manipulation, including putting others in unsafe and compromised positions".
You want to stand up for that? Fine, that's your choice. But I will stand up for integrity and honor. I fully support the trans community and the GC scene, but I do not support bad people.

there is no stereotype coming out of this discussion that trans peopel are more likely to commit SA. in fact, you're the first person i've heard of to claim this based on florescent, so... think about that

I don't understnad how you can stand up for and defend someone who has put others into positions of harm and cirticized by EVERY person she lived with.

and no, it's not "mentally troubled", the statement didn't say that. You can't just chalk up every bad action to "mental trouble", her teammates didn't say that and it's not a proper defense in this case. Also I don't see her getting mental help?
