the tournament is on patch 6.10 which is pre chamber buff. why? because of pearl changes probably and other pretty big things and not enough time to practice them pre-tourney

I think its better to just ignore players who you don't like or think are annoying. Just block them on twitter or something.

I don't think trick is by any means a like super great player/IGL in comparison to other pro competition. But keep in mind that he is still good enough to be pro in this game and that is like .000001% of the player base or something like that.

And he is kind of right. The amount of threads I have seen made when MAD play just to talk shit about Trick is unreal. He's just 1 person on this Earth.

Simply ignore him. It's not that hard. If you aren't going to like say something with some thought not just "player bad haha", just don't say it.

#LIVEEVIL with a DEMON(1) 😱😱 its a perfect pair!!!

you were never an EG fan if you had it in you to write this post...

what a hopefully happy future couple. best wishes for you two.

surely nothing bad could possibly happen.....

least impressive verno clip.

me. I expected this.

I don't think this is an NA moment. this is just this guy being socially inept

I don't think OXG are going to ever let Verno go.

If you think people would feel that way about you after your passing that is because that is most likely how they truly feel about you when the walls people put up to protect themselves from emotional harm are down.

And if thats how they would feel about you just always remember that. They probably do care, people just are really bad at actually letting their true emotions show because of fear of letting themselves be vulnerable.

Twisten was so cool.
I hope Riot does something to commemorate him in game either just like a spray on a map. Or a bundle (with a shorty of course) in like vitality yellow and black, and 100% of the proceeds go to mental health charity or something would be really nice just to show that they care

I'm just simply at a loss for words. Twisten was one of my favorite players he had such a bright and cheery personality, plus he was even a big demon slayer fan like myself.
may he find solace in what ever lies ahead.
RIP 💜💜

apparently it was steel who chose to just not keep playing for the team

you picked faze 0/8

https://twitter.com/RossyUA/status/1665512586467524614 this team is fucking trolling, and thats why they the goats #WhereisFullertonWin

I'm squirting for the squad💦💦 #SquirtleSquadWin (an org please sign this team I don't want to keep seeing add3r tweets about his work on my timeline)

welcome to the brawktagon

that was one of the best plays I have seen utilizing everything that you have. vandal, shorty, and molly all got him a kill there

i forgot about this. but i had more reasons that i wanted to add so thats why I edited

igl + role. dephh was signed as a sentinel player while zander is a smokes player.
and people like to conveniently forget that dephh was the igl of a team that went to two international LANs last year and finished 5-6th at champs. so dephh had proven himself last year as a igl that should be signed at the highest level... whether he carried that success over or not is a different story

he played for EG last year. but he was a smokes player... so I guess they just don't want to swap jawgemo back over from smokes to duelist or maybe reformed has been ultra cooking

And if someone brings up screwface for the player that should have gone, I bet he would have had the exact same issue as demon1 because of not being able to get a work visa in time to play at the event because of when he signed to the roster and his role of when he did sign.

they dont have tenz??????

all these teams trying their absolute hardest just to get destroyed by hfmi0dzjc9z7. Really quite sad. hfmi0dzjc9z7 is insane. Like so insane. He could 1v5 any team playing the game with his feet using a controller wearing a blindfold. FNATIC?? LOUD?? NRG??? DRX?? Laughable! Those teams shiver in fear at the name hfmi0dzjc9z7. He plays with inverted controls, no sound, and his nondominant hand holding the mouse sideways. He doesn't even use a weapon. He shoots people in the game with his sheer willpower and mental fortitude. hfmi0dzjc9z7 is the greatest player in the world by far and he will show people at this upcoming event...

ASE 2-0

Fuck it. T1 fighting https://twitter.com/dvjin_/status/1633314712220991488 (i like prx, ase, and nrg as well but I am only allowed only choice so...)

maybe while on the guard, but right now i would say saya is better imo than tex (who is also really good in his own right). the consistently absurd performances saya has been putting up on T1 recently are just in another dimension.
Plus for split 2 MxM and Guard were in the farming group so those two teams stats are ultra inflated. All 5 of the MxM players are in the top 13 and 4 in the top 9 and they haven't even played their playoff match yet

hes really good, but not as good as saya. . don't disrespect the marshall god

why are commenting this when the list legit has guard over mxm?

I just have this thing where I don't like teams that are just like super consistently great and beat the teams I like and make it seem almost effortless + they have like kind of annoying fans who despite knowing they have great teams still decide to make jokes of their opponents are be super confident of their greatness just because they are fans of them.

So I don't like teams like NAVI, FNC, and LOUD. I know all the players are immensely talented and work to get where they are, and for that I have respect for the individual players and would never talk bad about them. but just like I want to see the super good teams lose and have the fans shut up because you can't talk back to the annoying fans when all the team does is win. (I am like this in pretty much every sport I watch)

3 players with exactly 20 assists might be the most wild statline I have seen

the world is a sad and scary place unfortunately where there is a large number of people who are just unable to simply be tolerant of others despite their differences in relatively meaningless things such as race, gender, or sexual orientation

yeah i didn't realize his birthday passed and he his now 17, but that was just a month ago pretty much (i think from looking at his twitter)

verno is 16 I don't think it is all that surprising he looks young

saving strats for next season*

complaining about casters is just soo silly to me because like just be happy that the game is getting casted and honestly the casters, yeah they could be better, but they are for sure adding to the viewing experience. and if you don't like them talking... just mute the stream

its actually wild that there are only 2 players on this list from Americas and both are NA (leaf for neon and Ethan for breach) think that could go to show just how hard it is for one player to carry games in the America leagues

they have something. you don't need anything else

Everyone is throwing around these really high numbers that could be believable. The only thing I want to comment on is the why for the salaries being so inflated.

And that would of course be that teams realistically have very little to nothing to offer to players in ways of benefits for their talents other than just money. So if an org wants to pick up a player that is very good its just essentially a bidding war and in the end the player wins. There is no real way to discourage this type of behavior because the org with the most money gets player they want and the player gets a big paycheck.

I saw the idea of a salary cap talked about and I think that would be pretty good because not only does it benefit orgs, which are just a struggle bus of loses and non profitability, allowing them to not have to spend so much on salaries, but also it would probably help the overall health of the competitiveness of the scene as it would prevent a team (like FNATIC has currently done) from just picking up a bunch of the arguably best players in the world on their respective roles without having any real consequence.

on the bench so Txozin can start

I mean they haven't annoucned the format for LCQ but I could only imagine it would be a swiss, or just a round robin into playoffs/ maybe just playoffs based on seeding from split one.
But I don't think riot would give such an atrocity of a format as that one user made one that has been floating around (this is a prayer, I am trying to manifest an actual good bracket and not utter dogshit)

no boostio is igl

carpe is that guy. its actually scary how tremendously he has improved in such a short amount of time

all these teams trying their absolute hardest just to get destroyed by hfmi0dzjc9z7. Really quite sad. hfmi0dzjc9z7 is insane. Like so insane.

apparently some of the chinese team are actually scrimming against the pacific teams. so the chinese teams are actually able to improve from quality scims

https://www.vlr.gg/214729/coach-autumns-stream

All pacific teams are really good on scrim but the most impressive teams were EDG, PRX and JDT(Japan Challengers)
EDG is really a strong contender
When ASE's ace player is on their high's, we cannot stop them

Something = Pride of Japan 😡😡😡stop this anti-japan talk right now (we need to the viewers to keep the game relevant)

Realistically I think that LOUD, Liquid, FNATIC, PRX, NRG, EG, FUT, NAVI, DRX, T1, ASE (ASE FIGHTING ✊), and EDG all have a shot at winning this one if you ask me

Everyone recognizes LOUD's excellence (or they just lack any understanding of valorant) and will consistently have them as one of the favorites to win tournaments, but the gaps between teams are so small that its just impossible to tell. Just in the current competitive scene all the top teams and favorites for tournaments can all probably beat each other on any given day because the gap is so small, that it is hard to ever call one team the DEFINITVE best. LOUD is one of the best in the world without a doubt, but we may never know the best team in the world truly is because of how competitive the scene is right now. - - And I think that's probably good
_

Like just a few small plays here and there go the other way for each game and a different story can pretty much always be written with how close the top teams are to each other. An unfavorable timing, a missed shot or two, getting sprayed through smokes, accidently being off on swing coordination or spacing.

Even today, FNATIC, who people though were the best in world lost because they simply didn't have those type of factors going for them against Liquid.
The seemingly small stuff like this can shift in balance from game to game, map to map, round to round and that's why its just impossible to call a team or even player such set in stone terms like best in the world.

From the comments I'm reading I pretty sure people are super confused and just wrong about what the system is currently and what this guy is proposing.

Current system: Upper Ban, Upper Ban -> Upper Pick, Lower Pick, Upper Pick, Lower Pick -> Remaining Map

Proposed System: Upper Ban, Lower Ban -> Upper Pick, Upper Pick, Lower Pick, Lower Pick -> Remaining Map
