Basically, on the old Gaussian system, in the top and last rank you have almost no team, more you go in the center, more youi have team
If you read that message, love on you Flor, you are an inspiration for a lot of us
What do you mean ? Don't hesitate to ask question about what part you didnt understood !
Lerts be honest, the only think that matter in rank below immo is aim
You wanna us vlr ur listening disc for that ?
Yeah thats sad, a lot of small and similar thread
Script
Hi vlr, this week a quick video to tell you that premier has change FOREVER and nobody knows it, and this is probably because Riot has made no annoucement about it, and I found that only by accident.
I was doing some stats about premier team in each region to estimate the playerpool in each Tier-2 and I realise that between 2024 split 6 and 2025 split 1, the repartition of premier team between the division has totally changed.
In 2024 the repartition of team form a Gaussian curve, with a peak in Contenders tier, A gaussian is a figure where in first rank an d the last rank, you will not have a lot of team, and more you go in the middle mid rank more you gonna see a huge amount of teams.
To give you an exemple, a gaussian is kinda what we have in soloQ. As I said it before they are an exception in the Gaussian curve contenders. because it was an important rank, since it qualify a team in invite division that can qualify to Tier 2, so a lot of team got a direct access to that tier.
But it seems that everything has change in 2025, the gaussian curve is over, we still have peak for contenders, because it’s still an important tier, but now it seems we have an Exponential curve. And as you can see most of the team are in the last rank, and more you approach from elite division, lesser team you will have, wish mean in lower rank an average team has loose 3 or 4 division.
For exemple, for a team that is right in the middle of the premier team, this team was in 2024 in Advanced 3, while in first split of 2025 this same team right in the middle of premier team is now Intermediate 5. So don’t worry if you have loss some division, thats pretty normal.
To add some complexity, not every region has the same number of rank, for exemple, the lowest rank avaliable for a team in South-East-Asia is open-2, while in Europe-East last split it was Advanced-2, and I think this split 2 it’s even Advanced 5.
And I kinda think this is trash, I understand some region need less divison than other because they are fewer popultion, but instead of getiting rid of every Open or Intermediate division I would have prefer that Riot remove the first and maybe the 2nd division of every tier, so it’s easier to compare 2 team in 2 different region, and at least Advanced 5 and Intermediate 5 would mean the same in every region.
So to conclude Riot is slowly reducing the number of division, and have totally changed the repartition of premier team and I don’t remember them to announce anything publicly about that. Say goodbye to the gaussian model, and say hello to the exponental model. nNd think, Dont compare the rank of your team with a team that is not in your region, because if your Eastern European friend show you his advanced 5 team, he is probabl way more worse than you even if you Indonesian team is Intermediate 5. Thanks for listening to me, and as always byyye
Hi vlr, doing my stats about premier team I've realised some change that was not announced in riot. In 2024 team repartition follows a Gaussian curve, in 2025 it's more an exponential model, if it's too complicated check the detail in video, it will help you to understand premier better.
That doest mean anything, KQ is in Berlin because thats where they play their games
How so ? Their root and history are in spain
I partially agree. I think 24 round is too mush and 8 isnt enough. 16 might be the good balance, I rather see more BO5 with 16x5 round thans BO3 with 24x3 rounds (And it's consistent with Faria not wanting to show too mush of Val)
No, thats not how that work, you can't go with 5 full TR or RU player in France, you need 3 french LTR.
What would the the point of that list if they are no impact ?
"Challengers league territory"
Challengers East : Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania,
Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia,
Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine
No Russia
Was Ukraine in peace before Russia invade Ukraine ?
Russian are counted as important in EUE league :X
You have Russian team only because they are some loopholes in the import rule, they did it in MENA, they even did it in Spain league with KPI, and they do it in EUE, but that limit a lot the way to compose rosters

We cant kick anyone in a team that work x)
Better duelist, but better kick no one
Hey ! It's not hate, I even say I hope they find identity !
GG WP, Nova improve every game, it's a good thing because it's show how important it is to com in your main language
FPX is iting picking fucking Icebox everytime
I agreee, 2 contenders for Toronto... But got FPX Icebox is bad T.T
OK they first pick Icebox, GG it's over T.T
To be fair, it's more I glaze FPX that is a regular and consistant team. II think NOVA may already have fix their identity today (I hope at least lol)
Thanks a lot thats warming my heart !
I'll say FPX slightly fav, but it's never happened in VCT history that NOVA end before FPX, so yeah, we will see tomorrow !
Faria says he considers doing so, but he is not sure yet
To be fair, he is kinda nice to assume we have budget
You are allowed to clown on me :
Wish flavor of NOVA ?
NOVA didn't won, it was EDG tha lose :c
Does that make me the budget Mimi ?
EMEA is the worst region in term of gameplan, but they compensate with firepower
What ? What is your source, what are you talking about.
Is that your source ? https://x.com/ValorINTEL/status/1897762455448658196
Source ?
They reallyt pick reducing franchise over allowing T2 to have a shot in masters ?
Thats the title, Herratics, not a typo, they alternate between doing good and horrible
You talk about result (if yes, how many games) or predictable model ?
India have so mush potential on the long run, if only GE would accept to bomb out the first years T.T
Next time I see Faria in bed, I'll ask him to never remove it anymore from the mapool
Astra and Omen are played together in 4% of composition, in comparison, Viper-Omen is 9%
It's heartbreaking me, but EMEA look like a giant TDM. Our player are absolutely craked aimwise, we probably have the best region in term of firepower, but the worst in term of gameplan.
I just hope i'm biased because my expectation are high on EMEA T.T
To me Yoru ult is always problematic and can checkmate anyone, even more consistantly than Breach ult combo
If you break 3 ult it sound normal you win the round
You are right about investment, their GC team is potentially the only thing that can save them.
But competitive performance is a own goal, I will quote the script of one of my future video :
Now the question, is : How do you select the team that would remain a partner team. And I have to talk about that because I heard a lot of argument that are litterally a score against their own team !
If some of you say, for exemple « Heretics should be a partner team because they are one the best team in Europe », this is the worst argument ever, because that mean that, if they become bad, you wouldn’t want them as a partner team. Right ? But the exact point of ascention team is precisely, to promote good team and relegate bad team.
The question you want to ask for picking your partner team is « If this team end last next year, do I still want tille them in the tier 1 », if the answer is no, then you shouldn’t partener that team, if the answer is yes, then it should be a partner team. A partner structure, is a structure you still want in the league, even if tomorrow they become the worst team ever.
Do you see any criteria where they would not be bottom 2 ?
