WOuld be a good news, germany is the only region that isnt really represented (Maybe TH count, not sure)
We had Ascent, Icebox and Breeze in the same mapool for years, and from last year Act 1 to 3, so this was probably even worst
Yeaaah, but fak he need to define the term prpely, the definition he gives to Astra may place her higher
We need to define mommy first, if you don't then we will lack of method wish is not good
Funny enough, I call my model "place-holder-chan" because i've made it kinda fast on vroid, and I have no inspiration when it comes to visual, and I expected to change it X.X
So I think it will change one day... Maybe (And I take advice)
It's so funny to see 2/3 of you would have loose money if they would have bet real money T.T
script :
Hi vlr, today we are obvisouly gonna talk the new agent Waylaw, and I want to give 3 early thougt about her. But before starting a quick reminder of her spell in case you didn’t has read the spell yet :
First thing I want to say is that : it seems that her backdash ability is an amazing counter to trap sentinels, you can trigger all their abilities and still backdash safely. You gonna say Yoru can do that too, but thats not really true because it takes 0,5 second for Yoru to be safe, and it’s largely enough time to die, and if I understand correctly, for Wayley it’s gonna be the same casting-time as Chamber : 0,1 second before being safe, so it will be more doable in her case than in Yoru’s case.
So yeah : 1st thougt, she counter every trap sentinel, Deadlock, Vyze, Killjoy, maybe a little bit less Cypher because triggerring Cypher trap doesnt destroy them anymore. And she may be the correct answer to doble sentinel composition.
Next we’ve got Operator, i’ve seen people says that she may be a strong operator but i’m not fuly sure of that, for exemple Jett can keep a lign for long and press her dash if she hear something, she will hold the lign during the full process, always ready to kill. If you want to use operator with Waylay backdash, thats mean you can’t keep the lign at the moment you press the button, so basically you have to keep a lign, go back if you hear people, press the button and and retaking your lign, and this sounds a really bad use of the ability. But they are a 2nd way you can operator with Waylay ability, you can use your dobledash to repositionning yourself after an operator shoot, but the feasability will eavily depend on the ekip-time of the spell, and it may be too long to be efficient. If it’s 0.8 second like majority of spell it will be way too long, and you better walk out the lign, then use your dash, kinda as an Omen could do with his teleport.
So 2nd thougt : Waylay is not Jett prime, she may even not be a top agent to play operator. Using the backdah mean you can’t keep a lign the full round and you have to peak on an almost perfect good timing with a weapon that is not really good to take a peak, and using the frontdash mean you will probably have to shoot, then walk out of the lign, then dash, wish is ok but not optimal.
Finally I want to speak about ability that gives Z axis to agent, aka vercitality agent, because it’s an underated subject, among the 10 agent coming from beta, 4 of them have a spell that allow you to play on the Z axis, among thoose 4 agent, you have the most picked controler ever : Omen, and the 2 most used duelist ever Jett and Raze. After beta, Riot has never release an agent that have verticality, except one : Chamber, that just destroyed the meta. And so we arrive today with Waylay that is release and she can indeed play on Z axis. So I’m not saying she will be broken only because she can play on z axis, no it’s obviously not enough to be a good agent, but I think it’s an important point especially for duelist. Duelist are usually not that good in defense, but playing on Z-axis help you to find new position that other agent can’t take, to surprise your opponent.
So 3rd thougt : The fact Waylay can use Z-axis is a good sign of her being good, because verticality ability may be one of the key for a duelist, especially in defense where they have less impact, and you have to compensate it by surpising you opponent, by being in a spot that few agent can access.
So in conclusion maybe I’ll change my mind in 2 weeks, but my early thougt on Waylay is to think she might be strong. Having z-axis spell is a good basis, and being able to rollback if she gets trapped is a good point.
But everything will depend on the answer of the question « How you enter on site with her ? », with only dobledash ? Meaning you will not have your weapon in hand, and no landing smoke like Jett. With only backdash activated, that isnt really a diver spell. Or with both ? but they synergise poorly. We will see in the future. But for now vlr, I’m really curious to have your opinion on her, and I hope we can debate on that subjectin the comment. Byye…
Hi vlr, today I want to open the debate on Wayley, I want to know if you think she will be strong or not, here is 3 thought about Wayley :
Way(ley) too early thoughts : https://youtu.be/6pcCw_5wpjA
tldw ;
I want to know your thought about her, what are your opinion ? What she will be good at ? Bad at ? Will she be meta ? If yes on wish map ?
I don't have a lot of knowledge except 2 :
Vitality in kickoff was awfull especially in term of teamplay (We even swa teamkill), I don't think VIT is better than Sentinels for the moment (Even if I think Vit have more chance to win Champs than Sent because they have a amazing margin to progress in term of teamplay
Only chance for OCE and India to have representation in T1 is to have a franchised team. Giving 6 ascention spot in APAC will just result in having too many Korean team. We need both more franchise team that represent market that doesnt have a spot yet (OCE, VN, MENA, CIS), but also more ascention team, and less franchise team in saturated market (NA, BR, CN)
Same distance than America, and same timezone gap than APAC
That mush big ? If I look at the datas it the smallest region by far :/
Number of premier team after 6 week
Americas : 9414 premier team
Europe + TR : 9442 premier team
KR+JP+OCE : 9479 premier team
ME+SA+SEA (SEA with TW) : 3524 premier teams
CIS would need to be 5000 teams to match other regions :/
With all of them having 4 ascention team : no subergion could have more than 3 ascention teams (Or even 2 if we want to be even more restrictive),
I made a video about this but now I'm not fully agree with it, that would just make the slice smaller in America and in China, we need to find a way to add more ascention team in T1, and we need to include region that are not represented in franchise, MENA, VN, OCE, it can be threw having 16 team in every region, but that would mean reducing the slice for team that are already here in Amer and in China since (beside maybe LAN) they are no new market to conquer. Maybe the solution is just to add a 5th region between Europe and Korea
Bro, they push G2 in game 5, lets be honest the gap between the 8 team in Bangkok where almost non existant, everyone could have won Bangkok on a good day, or with a slightly better read of the meta. The player are good, they just need to work better instead of spending time on finding a scapegoat
You did it, you winned all by betting on the underdog ! T1 bring you first place
Good point, thats true we where good for 3 years, we also have to keep in mind that last year Heretics is in final twice, we are not as bad as people says, EMEA was trash at this event ? No worry, everyone can be bad at some point, next master may be too early, but we will come back stronger at champions !
Gamebreaker ! I'm curious to see if that strat will work on next event !
Final ranking :
i'm so scared about the future
Wait... I'm starting to think that non-ironically, please make me change my mind
then it's just sound as hatefull speech little girl
Fly quest sounds the org that made the most sense since it's an NA based team that doesnt have a T2 team but show interest in val since they have a GC roster
When did I act like that ? Did I say "Omg best american team is better than EMEA" or "NA is so bad they need to import more" ?
I feel Icebox is mush more no brainer than Breeze, the new change make me change my mind on the map
Import- kills a region in long term.
And acting like if EMEA hasnt made top 4 and top 6, your 2nd best team didnt even beat Liquid
Again and again : 0 team planet
If G2 is mid then it's a 0 team planet
Split APAC in 2, Pacific (KR+JP+TW+OCE) and Asia (SEA+SA+ME and either TR or CIS or both) (We keep Magrehb for ping and cultural reason)
It's a shame CIS doesnt have any spot in EMEA but sadfully it's lack some place in the franchise list
I have a hope for 2027 or 2031 :
And this 3 thing create a situation where :
Problem with this is that CIS deserve 2 spots and in that system they are only one left, meaning while in Pacific they are 1 franchise spot left (And
It's hard to say who could have the next spot but Japan have already 2 may be enough, and Korea shouldn't have 4 franchised spot especially since they probably will have 3 ascended team already so they don't need one more franchised.
I have a wet dream of the last spot is going to north korea for more hype, but it's impossible. Mongolia and maybe Hong Kong are 2 dark horse but too small for having a franchised team
If we want a TR superteam, then we might need to count TR player as an import in other EMEA team, so you dont get poached
We need a Russian Franchise, a Russian T2, and maybe even a Russian T1 if KR become a huge powerhouse and we need to split Asia and Pacific
I'm glad we pass swiss, TL and VIT did better than expected, and VIT actually show improvement compared to their horrific run in EMEA that look impressive only because everyone where horrible
She might stay in EMEA for good now
I admit we are too small compared to Jupiter
Russian need a T2 (and maybe even a T1) region
I don't understand why, they have strong argument for Ceres, more than overrated Pluto
So we are supposed to not talk about that thing that might affect val ?
Mirror is an underated concept in video games
<3 on you my bro, I though nobody would get this one T.T

It seems with a new law, trans people would have issue to get a VISA to play in the USA, because it would be consider that they commit a fraud on their birth date by the Trump administration, wish may impact a lot GCC in the near future.
