BBL PCFIC (BCF) are BBL's affiliate team. BBL and PCF have a partnership as orgs which is BCF

btw Academy team ≠ Affiliate team

What LoL does so well is build profiles for their players. The fanbase knows the personality of the top players, the orgs (and even Riot) support it by showing personal storylines and doing content which really resonates with people.
As for Val I think it's quite rare unless you're at the very top (and even then there's some players you don't know much about)

Think of Chronicle for example, he's the most accomplished player so far, yet people know pretty much nothing about him or his personality.
It's regional too, outside of Turkey not many people know much about cNed, or Aspas outside of Brazil. Sure you know who they are as a player, but not as a person, which is super important in creating a 'faker status' imo.

If you look at it from a results standpoint I think winning multiple Champs is much, much harder in Val, maybe it will get easier as the game gets older but right now the meta is changing too fast

now you know 👍

all roads

'Look guys, this is our so called talent and future of Indian Valorant... It's very bright, so bright that you can't see anything'

tbh im surprised more big companies don't have esports teams. It'd be a great way to advertise to young people
maybe the ROI is just too low

never played a game of league in my life but ts is entertaining af
if the tickets weren't so expensive maybe I'd even go watch it live

I saw on the spreadsheet your discord was ari.aim and that rung a bell somewhere
so I checked Refraction's discord server eventually after realising and yeah, there you were

I think marved has still got it (maybe Victor too)
(maybe I'm just coping)

yay's getting his chance on EG so I'm happy
I think FNS has said 2025 will be his last year competing (as you mentioned now that I read it)

yeah for sure, add me Aayan#2005. (I'll accept in the afternoon, on my laptop rn)

oh wow that's cool.
If I can make playoffs sometime in my degree I'll be happy (It's currently my first year)

ah, I remember against QUB I just ran it down mid every round on omen and it worked somehow

If I see we're against your team I'll be locked in for sure (I will go 2/24)

Depends on where in the EU/Europe
I've lived in non European countries with American influence before and there's some benefits but I prefer Europe

oh damn cool
was your friend from Portsmouth?
they had 2 GC players on their team and we got smoked
they also talked shit the whole way through and after the game 😭😭

I play in both, hbu?

get my french diamond teamates queuing london servers who tilt 0.1ms after anyone makes a minor mistake in round 1 on here

agree mostly except overdrive. I bought it, used it like twice and realised it was way too distracting and clunky and never touched it again
(it is subjective tbf)

Imperium is sick though I use it pretty frequently, I don't think I've seen many people use it either. The red and white variants go well with the VCT spark buddy too

I was just about to go sleep after being up since 6am (24 hours now) and I'm finding out DRX and FPX have a match in 10 minutes 😭😭

holy shit you're dankness

like is he picking 4/4 of the other players? and even the coach?
Or is he only getting to pick like 1 or 2 players? What do we know so far

my condolences

whats krus roster?

to me pepsi max tastes super super sweet (to a point at which I don't like it), but it also tastes really artificial (I think they use aspartame).
But yeah I agree if I'm having takeout I prefer coke. (But sometimes I'd like regular pepsi, especially with spicy food for some reason)
I think in general all fizzy drinks are becoming sweeter and sweeter as the general taste palete changes (I like to call it tongue rot)

this is the most random ass thing to get pressed about for no reason 😭😭

still water ☠️☠️☠️

(water clears but I still want to know)

roughly 10% of the way to nexus nomad

yay

oh I had no idea they had an office in Dublin. Was it switfplay? that's what most people tell me to play if I actually want to try and ''grind'' for one.

its the last thing I need 😭😭😭
I could rock the vandal like derke and then put the VCT buddy on the red recon phantom and life would be perfect

What servers, I'm like level nearly level 400 and I don't think I've encountered one (I've heard they can hide their name but I've never seen it on tracker after either)

supamen
sym
yay
derrek
nature

seems like the roster

idk much about the region but this roster seems really good on paper with my limited insight, the only player I haven't heard of is raafa
edit: oh wait he was on the union I just didn't remember

navi I think

give me the money so I can spend it all on skins manage it effectively

AUUUUUUUUU 🇲🇳🇲🇳🇲🇳🇲🇳🇲🇳🇲🇳🇲🇳 ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎

Honestly props to TH (and Boo presumably) for letting that go in to the video. Teams normally shy away from showing tense moments

I change what I'm using a lot but this is what I'm using rn

It's unlikely unless he's willing to play for cheap (and at that point he'd just be going to mibr anyways since they've promised him to let him build his own team).
Derke was dropped allegedly because of financial issues.

nice try

Lime, Anguist (UK bias)
Skuba
Sultan
and idk for CN

hell yeah

ok I didn't live up to it but I don't regret it

now I'm going to queue and bottom frag

edit: unfortunately I was correct 😭😭😭

add former C9 and Bleed star, yay

Dawg out of all of his achievements 😭😭

😭😭unlucky
I pretty much never play Skye and I don't think I have in ranked in at least a year so it defo wasn't me

well then why did you list him as a standout player for us 😭😭😭😭

keiko is in liquid jail 😭
idek if ardiis is gonna get on a team this year but he's a fair shout

please man😭😭
I need someone to prove our country isn't just coaches igls and benjyfishy 😭😭

(imo)
If you don't match MVP every game that means you deserve your rank (it sounds kind of obvious, but it's sort of reassuring to think about) I made an account a few years back and I hadn't played on it. I ended up playing on it a few months ago and I was top fragging in high plat lobbies consistently, so at that point I actually had confidence I wasn't a fraud diamond

my tracker is almost perfect not playing another game again
