Why Curitiba ? This sound random.
For BR I can only see Sao Paulo for big city, or Fortaleza for ping reason, since all the internet cable pass by there https://www.submarinecablemap.com/submarine-cable/south-america-1-sam-1 since the ping is 100ms for Sao Paulo to Miami maybe it's like... 70ms in Fortaleza
USA may be the worst country in the world to hold VCT americas x)
Damn if you are true then VCT americas really need to spot being held in USA, USA visa politics truly hurt the integrity of the competition. Does anyone know if Canada have easier visa access to BR and LATAM people ? If yes Toronto might be the good choice, if no... Well I have absolutely no idea where to go, we need a big city with enough population to have a crowd, in a country with no VISA problem, and in a stable country. I could propose France with Guadeloupe that seems to have easy access for Brasilian, but fak not enough people in there X.X
Not fully sure if Sao Paulo could make the cut, probably
And they deserve to be unfranchised to stop represent the region they were hire to represent, because long term wise this is catastrophic.
Faria said something really important : "Adding more team will make jsut the slice smaller and not make the cake biggger", the only thing that make the cake bigger is representation, you want more people buy skin ? Make everyone feel represented, give OCE a spot, and let LA and BR keep some slot. They will be always a winner of Americas that will sell more, but if tomorrow every Americas team switch to english, it will just obliterate the sense of belonging and the national rivalries and destroy the league in the long term, no team should accept to sacrifice the sake of their region for the long term in order to increase slightely their chance to win a trophy in short term. Shortermist is what destroy everything todays
Fair point, I need to be more specific. Portuguese and spanish are mutually inteligible language (Mush more than Catalan and Spanish for exemple), what matter the most for the identity of a team is a language, while you keep portuguese the identity stay strong, if BR team recruit a guys with a mother tongue who is Papiamento (Portuguese creole) it's sounds ok, because the team will focus on BR speaking people, if you start switching to EN then it open the door to recruiting some player that dont represent the region
#1 Artzin - Better Portuguese than English
#2 Aspas - Better Portuguese than English
#3 Xenom - Better Portuguese than English
#4 Cortezia - Better Portuguese than English
If the team switch to english it's a lose for the soul of the team, I could accept one import but this would open the door to every windows
South Americas team are loosing their own soul by importing NA player, Lev deserve to loose their frnachise spot after their betrayal. The team's name i Made In Brasil and not Made In US
And thats an excellent thing especially with how mush peer pressure has destroyed life and forcing people to hide who they truly are :c
Yeah, Lunar vs Heroic was peak entertaining especially since the game was so important for the playoff and the result almost settle everything
Bruh, thats as if as I was saying : "EMEA clears EDG They’ve won 0 EMEA trophies compared to our continent."
The only reliable data is that earth has NEVER won a BO in an intergalactic event
I admit the ring buff was impressive on Nats
Don't underestimate Ceres, sure sometime they are a liggle bit scramble, but they have far more potential than Pluto
Guys, is earth valorant cooked ? I swear none of this team has any chance when we gonna play the intergalactic Val game against Mars and Venus
Sometimes I feel South Korea is the most dystopian country in the world, yeah, even before 3rd world country, and maybe even North Korea (Maybe only Eritrea can do the cut), 52h sometime 64h, 0.78 child per woman, top 10 in s-rate (Abyss-jump-rate).
It's heartbreaking seing how mush potential people from this country has, so mush good idea (They writing system sound really smart), this is an amazing country that might be about to disappear if nothing change. (And I wonder if I shouldn't blame USA for what KR look like today)
I really wish the best for this country, discorver worker union, Luiging ceo, and strike merguez,
If you are some korea, i'm intrested, I want to learn more about the culture i'm considering writing a story where one of the main char is from KR
You bet only on 2 games ?
After it will be too late D:
you are allowed, it's just to be sure
You bet only on those 2 games ? After the first game is played you will not be able to bet on any other game, are you sure you dont want to be on the other one ?
No bet on next games ? Keep in mind the bet stop when the first game start :c

You are allowed to do this, no worry (But pleese bet only integer :c)
You put both VIT and G2 2nd, are you sure ?
Good change, it's good at least the 3 Americans region will have at least one slot, and the last one go to the best one. I just hope in a near future we will go to 16 teams, but for that we will need to wait feminine val develop Pacific
No bet on the other games ? And on the and 3rd place ?
After 4 years, so basically between 2026 and 2027 things will be review, a lot of things may happen, they are many possibilities that are possible :
heheh queen taking her crown back :3
Oh, basicallly the idea here, is just to keep the same point to the structure, so yeah if they are a lot of change then it may become a little bit innacurrate, but it's rare for a team that go from worst to best by just recruiting tnew player, and no system can ever be precise with that kind of change ^^
The odd where generated by an ELO system that didn't receive any reset (So last year games count), the ELO system gives a percent of chance of win in every matchup. I had to calculate every possibility (For exemple they are 36% of chance than EDG win the winner bracket and G2 and VIT meet each other in final of looser bracket.), then boom, you have the datas, The odd for G2 and VIT last place are really weird so I kinda suspect a mistake from me (I had the idea at 3am T.T)
Hi vlr, today a short topic about prediction for vlr, you know, I’ve made ELObot, and I used it for giving odd and make a little contest. Today I wanted to give you the probability of winning for the 6 last potential matchup and check every possibility and every outcome possible. It’s the occasion to make a little « Bet on odd » contest that you all can plan without putting any money
2 first games
Other potential matchup
You can bet maximum 100 on every odd. You can bet on the 6 odds, If they are a rematch, I count your bet on both game, and not only on the first matchup, so if you bet T1 win verus EDG and it occur twice, and once EDG win, and another time T1 win, then that mean you bet 200 and loose 100 on EDG win, and win 379 with T1 win, so basiccaly +279.
The other thing you can bet on is the final ranking on each team (100 max) :
EDG :
G2 :
VIT :
T1 :
GL to everyone !
5 year, when India become a little bit stronger
You are my best ally here <3
Sometimes I feel I am the Queen of midpopular opinion, i'm like +2 --> 0 --> -2 --> +1 on a lot of post XD wish sounds kinda rare
Why so, if you don't need more money to be happy, why spend it ? Personally, the only thing I would do with a lot of money is, buy a house, and maybe buy sometime fast food to not having to cook, and keep the rest of money for security in case of problem. Money is a dangerous addiction, more you spend, more you may want to spend, and you may end broke before even know it.
Keep in mind that if you :
wish is not that mush...
If I would receive 10000 times more I would hire people to make an MMO featuring the concept of smokes and rekon, with a server roleplay (I already have a ton of idea on a 20 non-ia pages)
PS : I'm a statistician, bayesian and determinism believer (And depressed), of course i'm boring T.T
Put money on side in case you have a problem in the future.
Money is made to have an appeased mind because it anticipating problems, you might need this money in the future.
Bruh... I saw TH getting destroyed by a team teamkilling themself, the level of teamplay and strat in EMEA is in the abyss, you really think GX are a "good team" ?
I agree for EMEA future, I trust in TH comeback, and I trust in everyone getting better, and we may have the most competitive region in champion, but for now... Well, I'm really not convinced.
Damn, the narrative as really shift from EU vs NA to Occident vs Orient.
To me G2 > DRX > T1 > TL, but the team are really close, anything can happen, I feel beside Trace, the 7 team could have won the tournament
Radiant it's about aim, not about having a gameplan that rely on teamplay
Nope, if they are ranked that low is because EMEA was horrible to watch at every level, every team looked kinda bad. Even VIT where doing weird move and won almost only because firepower (They almost loose against KC that was really shaky too, loosing against GX), the problem here is that a lot of EMEA team where rebuilding and not being good, and they should have rollstomp the kickoff, they didn't and get eliminated in a really humiliating way, while GEN was eliminated in a close BO against T1 that wasnt bad, MIBR shows intresting things, so yeah, they might not be the worst seed 3, but still... (Based on my ELObot they are the best team that didnt qual, but the bot doesnt care about if the win was close or not)
PS : i'm not saying EMEA will be puretrash this year, I think a lot of team have time to improve between Kickoff and Champions, Vitality especially even if they where shaky in Kickoff, will be amazing if they continue to improve during the year
Let's be honnest, if I would be coach, and my team have a plush, I would hug it at everyround, 5 lovely guys but someone share one braincell can just decide to destroy your career by doing shit at any moment, ofc I would hug the ugly cube for comfort at any moment in the game T.T
Depends of the draw, 2 seed 1 might face each other
Except now it's Tejo-Breach, things hasnt change a lot since this day
So basically an analysis of what type of composition works : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Os_TUrIpEDE
And basically the situation at this masters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1zLGoGBMN8
I'm saying the analogy doesnt work not that "it's not 1:1", nobody makes hard calculation anymore, and everybody uses calculator. If you say "look at this car flying as train" and I answer "Cars dont fly" you cant answer "It's not an analogy 1:1"
Because calculator doesnt tell you wish formula would you apply. Today i almost always use calculator when it's possible, but the real challenge is to pick the good formula to put in the calculator
The reason why your analogy doesn't work, is, to me, the reason why your reasoning is false ^^. If bot can do better than us, why shall we do it ? ^^
