100T and EG sounds as an hot take, don't you think G2, C9 and NRG, have more the trust of Riot (Or being more historic in NRG's case)
EMEA is hard, I think KOI despite being bad might be a darkhorse
APAC is Wild, 3KR team amound 6, No more PH or Indian and Indo representation wouldnt hurt the scene ?
DRG in China is an hot take, why do you think thery could stay ?

If you are coming for subsahara where they are no server close (Beside cap town for few countries in the south), can you tell us your experience of what Valorant look like there ? I'm curious

I didnt even knoiw cloudberry exist T.T

The coin has talked, TEC is gonna do 0-2

I'm curiious to see what will be Simon next win, veangeance storyline are always good in esport

What is your favorite berry ?

I have your attention ? Ok so when you debate about who is gonna be unpartenred you need precise criterias, and today I give you 5 of them :

• History
• Clout
• Reliability
• Investment
• Geographical-market
  Using "This team is good" is the worst argument ever, if the fact the team is good is your sole argument, then thats mean if the team is bad you will want them to be unpartenred and get relegated. This is the exact definition of ans Ascension team.

More detail here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRL1RtzfeSk

(The title of the topic isn't THAT false, 100T is unpartenred on lol :3)

With that criterias in mind, what do you think the list of 2027 partner team will be ?

Oh thats our today debate on vlr listening :c

I think this concept doesnt make a sense it depend on what criterias we take. It make sense when they are a obvious reason, but the 4 region are pretty close since last year, so we are good

We are doing EMEA (forgot to precise it :c)

2nd Alpha versus 3rd Omega and winner play 1st Oemga

Exactly, how they can go to Tier 1 if they are a big skill gap on their server ? Never, the gap will continue to increase, if we dont put mid Indian player in T1.

The best way is to increase India's level, is to pick 5 Indian player, put them in tier 1 team, so they can play on Korean server, improve, have experience of T1, they will be bad in the first year, (maybe a little bit less if they arrive really early to grind soloQ) but in the long term they will surely progress, and when they are dropped out of the team, their experience will help to grow Indian scene.

If we don't do this ? What is gonna happen ? Indian player will continue to play against Indian player, never improve, while Korean player will continue progressing and the gap will continue to be bigger and biggers.

Thats exactly because Inidian player doesnt have the level in tier 1 that WE HAVE TO put the best 5 of them in Tier 1 other way, the scene will never improve. Think long term, stop thinking short term

GE seems quite big to be fair

They where literally top 3 and 5 in Korea at this time...

It's the night-club paradox, Indian playuer will never be good if they have no time in tier 1 (And thats will be same for OCE if we wait long enough)

And thats the exact reason why GE need to take 5 Indians player, to break the circle, remember than in 2021 they where equal in term of level with the 3rd and 4th Korean team, and now where are we ? At the bottom of the bottom of the bottom. Gap will continue to increase if Indian player have no time in tier 1

Thats not what happenned in KC 2023, people where still hype

5 Indian player where as same level than the 3rd and 4th best Korean team in 2021, the gap is increasing because Korean player have more time in tier 1 and Indian player have no time in tier 1. India will never progress if they have no time in tier 1. You need to think about long term, not short term. The gap will continue to increase if Indian player have no time in tier 1

You know that the concept of franchising is "I want to keep this team even if they are the worst team ever ?"

"trace stomped blg"
Yeah. in a game with no stakes, thats doesnt count

Autumn would be perfect

Nope, playing against player that dont have a lot investment in it will not help to grow the team. They will continue play against unexperimented team and take really few experience.

My argument is more "If you want to not suck in 5 year, pick 5 indian player now"

Sure you can kick both but you still need AT LEAST on JP team so basically :

• 1 ID
• 1 MYSG
• 1 TH
• 1 PH
• 1 India
• 1 JP
• 1 KR (Prob 2)

An Additionnally

• 1 OCE
• 1 VN

So if it's reduced at 6 they need to split (Wish would be kinda tperfect), even if 8 would be doable

Faria said no to expanding number of team in T1 because "More team will not make the cake bigger, it will make the slice thinner"

Best they can hope is teaking RRQ spot, wish would be fair

Yup, I was saying we cant have too mush comparison because Asc have only 2 years

1 Indo, 1 "Indian", 1 MYSG, 1 Thai, 1 Phili, we cant kick any of this one without hurting the representation, It would be weird to kick DRX, T1 or GEN (Even if one of them will have to go if they are a reduction of number of partner team), We also have to keep either DFM or ZETA...

No doubt, if we reduce number of partner in APAC to 6 team, we will need to split, if not, some region will not be represented wish is a problem :/

Currently they are not enough place for OCE and VN wish is really a shame x)

You Forget Nova's core that was pure trash in 2023

Nope my bro thats not how that work ^^
But they will stay in T1 for 1 more year if they does, thats the deal

Well ascension have only 2 year so... Cant have a lot

I dont think meltdown and rant where invented by Bren and Sideshow, I was already doing that in 2020 when I was casting my own LoL tounrnament..

Complaining is great for content

Doble controller is more fun to watch cause it makes a more strategic game, but as you can see... We can have both

Aaaand now thats straight up hate

She can't play in NA because of new laws against trans x)

Team can always bounce back, if they continue rely just on firepower it's over, if they start take pleasure in a gameplan, then they gonna bounce back

Language barrier

...

Wait

Why not both ? Both ? Both is good

This is real impopular opinion :

• Deadlock is trash above Bronze
• EXL should be a partner team instead of LEV or Furia
• Postplant meta was OP since beta, proplayer just put too many time to figure out e because they are here for the aim, not to play as pussy (And you dont grind playing like that)
• Doble smoker will be meta on almost everymap, the day proplayer will understand how to midround
• Reducing the game from 24 round to 16 would be good
• Asia and Pacific are bound to split (especially if the number of partner team is reduce)
• Tier 2 should be restructured to synchronise with scrimming pool, Tier 3 should be created corresponding to language and scriumpool but being only amatory league, and we should have Tier 4 with national league like in Polaris (Denmark, GB etc...)

Isnt a farmer league a league that create talent thanks to strong grass route that getting harvested by other league ? Like France in Football ?

So basically the region with most import, so AMER or Russia

WTF you dont watch Tyloo ??

Cause the most important in tam is having your player that like each other, if you bring a superteam you bring ego that will make impossible to create alchimy

As we says in France "The important is that the Mayonnais works" [Que la mayonnaise prenne]

If the only problem is IGL then you can pick 4 LAN player and any consistent LAS (or even BR) IGL. But yeah, i'ts really goos they pick experience from the other region to improve (Because as I tend to think, if you dont have T1 team, your regioon will slack)

If i'm Lev, I would buy a LAN roster, it would be the only way to save their ass for 2027, by picking the only market / scrimpool that isnt represented (LAN), plus they are really talented player in LAN, it's now or never since EXL may take their place

Vitry : Duel
Feniz : Sent (Probably best player in Latam thoose day)
Darker : Init
King : Smoke/Flex
Lot of good choice for the last Cebando, Mited, Pompz, Redd

vlr, when EMEA isnt a 1 team region

Team fertility sounds a huge win

After football

I'm abusing postplant since beta

The classico of LAN

What is the methodology ?

Flor !

Wait she is in a T1 team ?
