Do not rage bait let's just have productive conversations discussing Valorant
I am not gonna write an article on this but I think everyone should know this but Moroccan player NoXuS has tragically passed away. He was a consistent contender in MENA competing for a few teams since 2022, most recently, xProjekt.
Close Friend of His
Statement From His Current Team
Valorant Arabia
NoXuS Liquipedia Page
Liquipedia Announces Passing
*By the way I am not sure how he passed away
Glitch pop classic or prime classic
Idk man regardless its gonna be a close game TBD could win but also TBD I just support TBD cuz they align with my values and are recently doing good
Although TBD has been pretty dominant this year imo TBD is better at this tournament so I think they are gonna and I support TBD so lets see
Yeah I agree GC and VCT are 2 different competitions that should not be compared
The current meta is double initiator as older maps that have been out for a while that didn't previously have double initiator like pearl now have double initiator so wouldn't be suprised if Split follows
Hey ion2x
Bind
Viper
Brimstone
Gekko
Astra
Fade
Yameii Online/Deko
Unimportant
Midnight Tokyo
joyboy99
MF Doom
Figaro
Belize
Please I beg you touch some grass get off vlr or you will be lost forever
Also I hear some people say
But regardless every team should try their best to participate in one
South North America? do they cancel out each other so just america? so america is delusional? how?
Until Ascendant agents don't really matter just play something you are comfortable with, that is self sufficient and doesn't require much coordination with your team. Viper is one of the worst for solo queue in my opinion and you can only play in high elo. Sova and fade can work.
Been going on for a week. New format? endurance Valorant esports fr. Longest overtime happening LIVE.
Its not official yet thats why I wrote unknown because I am not sure whats the situation with him
W article or nah?
My brother has like a flipped keyboard where the keys are flipped, its really weird but cool probably costs more but may be worth it
Just an open tournament that my team should be playing in soon
Not real probably, most teams usually don't reveal how much they pay for players directly like that
JiJieHao (formerly Bonkers) has reportedly acquired IKANA during their current Challengers Oceania run. He is replacing punda who seems like will be moving away from the main active roster although still playing in LPL Pathfinder Season 3.
Earlier this year, JiJieHao bought out the entire free agent roster, Bonkers, after their memorable 2023 Pacific Ascension run ahead of the next challenger season. In 2024 they would prove this roster is still strong by winning Challengers Oceania Stage 1. Unfortunately they would fall just short of ascensions after losing to Arena Internet Cafe and FOCUSGG. Following missing out on ascension they would make a few roster roster changes ahead of stage 3. They currently have a record of 3-1 in stage 3 and are on track to qualify for playoffs.
IKANA is fresh out of Justice for Tomorrow following the team disbanding after a respectable run at 2024 Pacific Ascensions. He has been a top performer in Oceania consistently putting out decent performances for his role as initiator while as a team they would be fairly dominant winning Challengers Stage 2 to go to ascensions and winning LPL Pathfinder Season 2. He joins JiJieHao with their Bonkers core and look to use the ascensions experiences to win in Oceania.
JiJieHao is now:
IKANA - Initiator
Minimise - Flex Initiator (Captain)
Dragon - Sentinel
LEW - Duelist
Tixx - Controller
Punda - Initiator (Unknown)
They are cool and all but I don't really resonate with them that much and they are not a team that looks extraordinary appealing to me. I have neutral opinions on them
Thanks man 😃 and also Talon had been considered
Hes not the worst and there are still other reasons to like Heretics
When I first got into val esports they were a team I watched a lot and they astonished me I just really like them just maybe not on an international level but if they were still as good as before and were willing to change then maybe but I understand why they don't want to change
Earlier I posted about my search for a new team that I can support in tier 1 (New Favourite Tier 1 Team) and after careful consideration here are the results:
*Look at the original post I linked for requirements and what I look at so I won't explain my decisions. If you guys have any questions comment below
International:
1-Heretics
2-Karmine Corp
3-100T
4-5...6...cont
AMER
1-100T
T-2-NRG
T-2-EG
4-Kru
EMEA
1-Heretics
2-Karmine Corp
T-3-Gentlemates
T-3-FUT
T-5-NAVI (If rumours are true)
T-5-KOI
APAC
1-Paper Rex
2-RRQ
T-3-Team Secret
T-3-Talon
T-5-ZETA
T-5-DFM
CN
T-1-EDG
T-1-XLG
T-3-BLG
T-3-DRG
If a team is not listed here then that means I have neutral opinions or I dislike them. All teams mentioned here I like. If you have any questions about my decisions or want to contest it comment below, I am still open to discussion and it may change but it is basically done unless there is drastic roster moves or something I expect didn't happen (Like Koalanoob to NAVI).
I do agree this is not acceptable but lets not go nuts over 1 map idk that's my opinion
its not that deep it's just an off season tournament they could be having a bad day or sum and its still 2nd map maybe weak map
Oh yeah definitely I think this is a good time for him to develop that experience so we might see him in the future in tier 1
yeah could be, language tends to be a problem in APAC due to no somewhat standard language like at least in EMEA a lot of people speak english and they can somewhat comm while APAC it is not as apparent and their english fluency is a lot lower compared to EMEA. Although Yuran wasn't that good at Zeta that doesn't mean he is a bad player and he could probably use his new tier 1 skills at Sengoku and help them out
Sengoku Gaming have announced that they have picked up Yuran, this comes following Impact's departure the day prior.
Sengoku have been testing out different roster combinations and new players recently at off-season tournaments such as Red Bull Home Ground and Predator League Japan following a respectable third place finish at Challengers Japan after losing at the hands of ZETA's Fennel and the eventual champions Riddle Order. Impact was signed to replace Jinboong but that lasted temporarily as they would later announce his contract expiry suggesting he was there just for the off season.
Yuran was previously on ZETA Division for one season and another couple of months on their academy team before that. His time at ZETA would be particularly uneventful as they would finish 8th in the standings with 3 wins, their most eventful win being against Talon Esports. He most recently played a flash initiator role at ZETA occasionally flexing onto other roles although during his earlier days at ZETA he played Viper only. Yuran is replacing Impact who played sentinel at Sengoku which Yuran doesn't have much professional experience with so it is unsure at this time what role he will be filling.
Sengoku Gaming is now:
Gwangboong - Duelist
Kippei - Controller
NOBITA - Recon Initiator
Misaya - Flash Initiator
Yuran - Unknown (Probably Sentinel)
meltdown - Head Coach
Relife - Coach
*Authors Note - I can't read Japanese so I am unsure what the posters say and I am going off the translated description. I am also not the most educated on Challengers Japan so if you think I should add or remove anything comment below
