Harbor is always in a weird spot, to me he sounds a little bit bad, he got full smoike in his kit and not be able to solosmoke is a huge redflag.

I dont see Astra getting replaced, it was her historic map, and swamp comp did die,

We might need to stop think into class.

Every team have at least, on Diver, one Smoker, one Reveal (Thoose 3 role are without a doubt for Astra, Jett, Sova, maybe Gekko and Neon have their chance... but meh), and then it's pretty open for either a Sentinel, a Flasher or a 2nd Controller.
Viper can't be the smoker

Pretty obvious : Jett, Astra, Sova 100% Then probably KJ and Viper/Pheonix

Wrong, ponytail

gl

Awwww so cute

I think beside the 2nd point I check them all

As we say in my country "Cheh"

I feel time is ticking, more time pass and more CIS will stay on CS in the long term

CIS could be soooo strong, historically they probably need 3 team in the top 12

Should I go iron in the next act ?

Hmmm... I see what you mean, the main problem here is that Riot never make a Premier to a region if they are no server, thats why LNA doesnt have a server yet. plus, Premier is kinda pointless if they are no T2 to qualify on :/

They don't, same for CIS, and same for Levant-North Africa

Merging was an obligation, 6 league in SEA wasnt sustainable. I still think it would be better to have 2 or 3 league, depending on how many team you want per league.
If everyone go to 16 team in every region, then 2 region is good, one per server, if its 8, then we should just go do to 3 regions, Malay, MSEA, PH-TW-MN. Region with only 40m people (beside KR), isnt sustainable.

The first thing is that each comp (in the current meta) MUST have 1 of each of these things

• A duelist-diver
• A initator-reveal
• A controller-smoker

Then the 2 last spot are open for the 3 last role a team usually have (You need to pick 2 and drop 1) :

• A sentinel
• A flasher
• A second controller
  Usually you have to drop one of this, but thanks to Vyze you can hall all of 3 and sacrifce nothing, a little bit like at Skye prime where you have a excellent recon and an excellent flasher (Maybe even better, because you can have a dedicated agent to reveal, and have an agent that is split in the 2 minor roles)

If you want some datas about split 2 :

• 0 Diver composition is 3% PR (And have a horrible NMWR 45%)
• 0 Reveal comp is 4% PR (And have a horrible NMWR 44%)
• 0 Controller comp is 0% PR (Literrally)
  Then about the 2 minors spellroles + soloCtrl
• 0 Flash comp : 14% and 55% NMWR
• 0 Sentinel comp : 14% 54% NMWR
  It's hard to calculate the 1 ctrl comp, its gonna be imprecise
• 1 Controller comp : 64% less than 48% NMWR (I does count Sage as a ctrl, but not as a smoker, because she fit the definitions of ctrl and not the sent)

With Vyze you half sacrifce the the 2 worst role, you can fill with an agent that do the job 100% of the 3 main spellroles, then you can take a 2nd controller (Viper, Sage, or maybe even Astra), and then you fill the 2 less efficient roles with an agent that make 50% of the role.

She is not broken but she perfectly the "6 roles needed" meta by half sacrificing the 2 worst roles

Edit : I forgot instead oof writing a lot I should just have link this vid : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrYtWrxIO1Y (I'm not that fluid in this one... I'm better today :c)

Bad algorithm :c

But Dos and Sultan are gud :c

Kazakhstan can't be a T2 all alone, with rest of central Asia, it's hard to know if they are enough to be a separate from CIS, my 2 sent is that the best would be to be a splitted league like MENA and LATAM, but in that optic it would make sense that if eastern Russia have a better ping on Central Asia, then they should be allowed to play in Central Asia

You cant compare active and passive vision, if Yoru break the wall/passiveVision you have no intresting info, they may go on another site and you whole setup are defuse. Breaking active vision give opponent an information usefull to prepare an entry because you get a position that will be usfull in the next 10s

Maybe, but isn't the end of your point if we think few step further ? What is the point of playing a defensive agent if their defending tool are defused ?

With Vyze it's sound kinda hard, but if you say is true, then proteam should stop playing Sentinel, because thats her own utility.

Also, 0sentinel composition got 14% Pick Rate and a Non mIrror Winrate of 54%, so maybe you are right and proplayer should stop play sentinel

She have best firepower in attack, and her trap are as deadly as other sentinel in defense

I think doble sentinel are kinda weak, doble sentinel make you attack really hard to play

It's antistrat, they are no point to pick Yoru today, but if a team pick Vyze everytime on the same map, it's better to just pick Yoru to counter her

They are already a server in south Africa, but western africa don't have a decent ping, we really need a Lagos server ASAP, same for Middle East, Hawais is unrealistic.

I tend to agree for Kazakh, but I've check with a Kazakh friend and it seem their ping is the same in Hong Kong than in Kazakhstan, they even may prefer staying in SEA than joining central Asia

I think the fact her trap can be triggerred by Yoru's clones, turn her from best senintel, to useless sentinel in proplay.

All her kit in defense revolve around setup a deathly trap and Yoru can just antistrat it with one spell making her useless when she should be strong. So a proplay team shouldn't play her because if thats happen their opponent will play Yoru after a couple of game and just antistrat her whole kit with a spell.

Hard counter shouldn't exist in Valorant because they are no draft and no swap

I think they can go to champions

Jett + Pheonix/Yoru + Sova + Killjoy + Astra

Here is why https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJk2T8jK_Qw

Wasnt already the subject of my last video ? :c

Ah... Transition phase are always a problem Look at France 19 century

None, everyone should be loved

Riot doesn't organize SEA no ?i Rot did outsource T2 to tournament organization

And thats what happen when you announce schedule date 1 month in advance. Tournament organization are bad, and maybe T2 should be ruled by Riot and Faria.

Did you guys have saw the thread of Sultanvlr ? https://x.com/sultanvlr/status/1847948099206967543
He was kinda concerned about the Valorant situation in Central Asia and more over in Kazakhstan, so I usual I think for solution and this is the text i've right (obviously that I read because you cant guys I know you.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1wWqL0QKWw

What do you think guys, do you think a Central Asia server and T2 could be viable ?

AHAHAHAHAHHA fun, but true

It's always me T.T

Riot specify clearly it wasnt possible, thats what caused TGRD drama

You can only buy team if they are orgless.

And no big team will ever success doing that, because changing structure mean destabilize a roster

I'm leftist. I never saw anyone become more leftist after being cancelled. Cancelling people is just linking cancelled together and pushing them to become even more dumb. I rather put a racist in the middle of full leftist people that all know he is racist, making fun of him for not being normal, than just cancelling him, and putting him with other racist that are just like him

Not same model, you don't have national league that you want to make sustainable

they don't big org can go out everytime they want if they think they can't milk the cow. Small org are here because they want, not because of money, small org are more stable than big one

Unpopular opinion : I think Riot is saving T2, T2 will never be sustainable, putting to mush money in T2 will just create an isolationist bubble and give money to an unsustainable team, that is bad for long term. Only small org and maybe mid org will take the T2 place and they will probably have saner account and not making the bubble explode thinking that have to pour money in it to go to ascension. it will be especially hard for NA that can't understand this logic because all their country were based on the contrary on that philosophy, but it's necessary. Anyone that want to "save T2" is just about to defend an isolationist bubble and unsolvent org. Only org with the love if this game remain, team that qwill be here to make money will be out, and thats perfect.

Only problem Riot have with T2 is bad Tournament Organisator, maybe it's time for Riot to stop use TO and organize everything themself

The Schrödinger take ^-^

"no politics/religion" is the worst rule you can ever made on a Valorant forum, and many point are heavily tied between politics and videogames

To play in bigger arena ? Not fully sure, it depend of a lot of factors, thats why I'm in the "maybe" but i'm listening to what you could give as an argument

Leo Faria is the best person anyone had at the head of an esport ever. He have amazing out the box idea (Only hybrid esport league allowing franchise for stability and ascension for merit) and he is listening to community without being unrealistic about some things fan want, he does mistakes but everyone does (Starting with crossgroup before intragroup)

1/ This isn't fixing, this is destroying it
2/ Go to 14/16 team and have 2 ascended more team
3/ Maybe
4/ Maybe
5/ I agree

2/ But I'm caring about tier 3 ._.

1/ This not how internet cable works, https://wondernetwork.com/pings/Sao%20Paulo you will have a better ping in Miami than in Mexico (or even in Columbia)
2/ Restructure MENA+SA+CA and making them one region could be only a T1 region with how many people you put in there

Same than from LAN/LAS, you make a NA-West Premier, and an NA-East premier (like we have last year), everyone is allowed to play everywhere, but west got the standard server based in Califoronia server , and east got the standard server based in WashintonDC server. Sure team can still negociate to change the server, but if no agreement are found this are the 2 server people play on, that would dramatically reduce the ping in the most populated place in America, and de-facto split the playerpool in two. My only concenr is that west will have less people than East, and thats one of the reason I would like to have a 3rd splitted league with Southern being here, that correspond to a well know geographical region
