just stupid, you never saw new t1 play fracture
just judging based on old rosters insanely biased

talon over drx unserious

are classic skins bad too?

for ow, the ewc had worse viewership than ow normally has

weren't the cs teams given advice on what to wear and how to behave, crazy man

for cs it was just regional teams which play in the cs events, so it's just normal teams afaik

more for my adhd, now I don't have to pull out my sova dart or raze nade every second

they don't even have a penal code meaning they can just arrest you for life if you do anything against their rules
they had like a " no criticism " agreement for anyone attending ewc which in 2025 is crazy, basically human rights violation

yeah, it's a way to get the boomer audience since esports olympics is a possibility and they want saudi to be associated with esports as like its base which just sucks.

i don't think it's a world cup, it's just top tier 1 teams who participate which are invited, so it's just some invited teams like sen and fnc who are going to play, it's not like they are creating teams for every country, it's just a namesake

if we had to choose between ewc and a third party s tier tournament by like blast or esl, I'm taking blast/esl every day.

i mean, its better than invite only ewc with terrible formats and only top teams which btw doesn't matter for the season and is not associated with riot, so it's like choosing money over vct performance because it's in the middle of the year, don't know how teams are even going to play

are you saying it's like a way to gain audience, because valorant doesn't really need that since it's the fastest growing fps game currently.
ewc isn't even all that. only dota and cs had good viewership. idk i don't think ewc aligns with riot's core audience.

ayoo

jett too cool
such a cool video

if heretics win bangkok, i will put on a heretics flair for life

bump

i think we can all agree on this
ewc production was dogshit and their formats are so terrible (bo1 elimination)
riot has made a really good format this year
only pro of ewc is like the money from what I understand, which this year you get gambling sponsors so shouldn't be THAT much of a problem like it was before
there's only cons from this, it's like in the middle of the year, and it's going to be invite only which CANNOT be considered a top tier tournament
the s tier valorant tournaments are the only ones where all teams have a fair chance of qualifying, i like that valorant has a MERIT BASED system and I love the way it works
it's also a shady organisation and all those other things that sideshow made a video on

IDK, i would just prefer another masters or an international lcq kinda event which sideshow suggested

yessirrr

+1 no way b00 is ahead of a champs winner and a two time trophy winner

okay buddy

the acronyms had the equals sign "=" to signify that it was an abbreviation
the '-' was added to suggest nicknames that were attached to players
not hard to understand if you look

patitek is the one that brought it down for me, no way the least impactful player of last year is top 3 emea in any kind of role right? if yes, emea is cooked
also why miniboo top 3, surely we have someone better than miniboo like purp0 etc

we don't know, that's why it's an incredibly stupid argument which attributes all of sen's good to drewspark, nobody knows how a coaching staff contributes to the team unless you're in the team. obviously the team members know better than vlrgg user 'KCLAW' and they will be making the decision they think is good, maybe it's not a good decision but we don't know because we have no idea how coaches contribute.
maybe drew was the cause of sen's bad last year, maybe he was mediocre. WE DONT KNOW

really stupid argument please think before typing

yes, you did live with the team for every day last year, of course you would know better

i mean that's just not true is it? all splits are tier 2 so even if ascension is most competitive or the best quality, others are still considered tier 2.

major MVP vs tier 2 bottom fragger

you're saying they won't "contend" in tier 2, but they can compete in all things tier 2 except ascension

yetujey over benjyfishy
chronicle over w00t
boaster sadhaak over boo
god emea flash initiators suck

no, sen academy gets their own spot as this year riot has allowed academy teams to compete in tier 2.

idk I have no clue

pr0mm00

fire but maybe rossy doesn't want to play tier 2

W

does your neck hurt

what? obviously it's harder to win now since teams figure out the game better with time and the current players are the "real" valorant players instead of recycled cs players

i mean if we slander 2021, it's only logical to do that to 22.
the latest the better, people keep improving and figuring out the game which makes it harder to win presently.

god help him 😭😭
running 15 miles all of a sudden gotta hurt bad though

ardiis ran 15 miles today? of course he's gonna shiver, you gotta start low and then go your way up, if you eat McDonalds every day and suddenly run 15 miles, you're gonna die from suffocation

not my ascendant
people dont tp in the middle of site when the opponent literally killed your teammate from there 3 seconds ago, I have had plenty of bad teammates but not this bad 😭😭

so?? never mentioned his judge, can you read?

they get to showcase their skills, a year can change everything brother, eg players were considered tier 2 at the start of 23, now they're established.
see how getting a stage to show their skills can do wonders for players careers?

academy

and? so people should not be excited about seeing their favourite players?

reduxx is not replacing anyone, atleast not this year.
im just excited since nightz1x is a young prospect who can be developed into a superstar if done properly. what better way than to play under tier 1 pros?

reduxx said the roster will be announced this week for sure 🎉🎉
my preds-
reduxx
nightz
skuba
nismo?
tdawgg?

you don't have to say you love kyedae, but you don't have to garner unnecessary hate to her either.
anyway really excited for 100t vs sen, gonna be a fun match if it happens.

and you said you would try to be better this year

the cheater thing is currently because of christmas holiday, the game will go back to its normal state since rn a lot of stupid teenagers get money and they decide to buy cheats.
also dev holiday so, this happens every year iirc
