They should add the masters/champs logo to any team's classic skin that has won a international LAN before. That would be a extremely cool idea and would bring more revenue for teams so it would encourage them to win more.

b0tster had to snake someone who had extremely high potential before he got dropped knowing no one would call him a snake because his gf has his back.

You know someone pissed you off HARD when you have to make a full post committed to calling them out.

mostly anything from Undertale, Omori, Deltarune

yay = demon1
FNS < boostio
FNS > boostio (calling)
crashies > c0m
Marved > Jawgemo (smokes)
victor < Jawgemo (Raze)
victor < Ethan

This is comparing their primes, depending on the meta OPTIC dominate if its Chamber but have a hard time if it was 2023 meta.

for best IGL bro what are you smoking, Haodong lead his team to win 7 regional grand finals, made playoffs at a LAN 2 times, where BerLin hasn't done anything and has only led his team to get grouped and no regional grand finals win.

I would be butt hurt too let the man wear his pajama pants!!!!

Wait I just realized that they bout to have 5/8 teams being EMEA. Does Valorant really want EMEA to win a meaningless trophy that badly that they would sacrifice viewrate?

MrSavage
Benjyfishy
Veno
Peterbot (import)
Mongraal

This team wins at least one tourney

zekken should be here over d0rke

How does that matter lmao, just because they weren't allowed to attend doesn't negate what Americas did that year and how they were better. Sure its unlucky that these things happened but we are using actual evidence and placements not "what ifs".

2022:

Top 3 Iceland, 1 APAC 2 Americas, Americas Winners
Top 3 Copenhagen, 1 APAC 1 Americas 1 EMEA, EMEA Winners
Top 3 Istanbul, 1 APAC 2 Americas, Americas Winners

The EMEA cope is kind of crazy

Probably all of them can't lie, EDG and SEN have no problem with cash, and GenG and TH have too much team chem + other Korean teams don't exactly need them rn. Only thing that I could see happening is players from GenG moving over to T1 but we already know Karon won't move, t3xture is already comfortable, and Munchkin dislikes Autumn. They wouldn't need Lakia because they have Stax and wouldn't sacrifice their current IGL for meteor.

Probably not, the only reason why the previous teams have had roster changes is because of higher offers from other teams, EDG is probably one of if not the richest ORG in VCT right now so there would be no reason to go to different teams just for money. Not only that but these guys have been together since 2022 (excluding s1mon) so their team chem is already top notch.

If smoggy, kang kang, and chichoo are all running around like demons then EDG 100%, if GenG figure out a way to shut them down then GenG.

Best Senti - Benjy
Best Event - Shanghai/Seoul (both were good)
Biggest Frauds - bl00d

Damn after EDG won champs I haven't seen mass hate posts from EDG fans calling other teams shit (at least to my knowledge), good to know that the fanbase hasn't been corrupted like others and hopefully it stays that way. Been rooting for them ever since Istanbul LESSS GO EDG.

I feel like it would be like 70% players and 30% org, and then the 70% of the players money needs to be divided up into 7 different players (chichoo, kang kang, smoggy, s1mon, haodong, muggle, and nobody) some people probably got paid more due to their role (e.g nobody prob got more cuz he's the IGL) but its around that. So all the players probably got around 100k unless the org took more.

Not exactly, FPX vs PRX was basically FPX waiting for PRX to overheat and push while this match looks more disciplined on both sides even with the poor scorelines in these two maps.

he gets a lot of hate for not being able to frag as well as the rest of his team but honestly is he not the best support player in the world right now? everytime I look at the EDG games bro always has so many assists that its actually crazy.

isn't that the same team who won a championship only because the other team's coach got disqualified for practically no reason? that was very entertaining watching as G2.G almost lost the grand finals to a team that had no support from their coaching staff!

so many people were shitting on him for not being the best duelist in the world and forgot he was one of TH's best players before and during Madrid, literally the only reason they made it was because he went nuclear in playoffs to even qualify. He was getting so much unnecessary hate because he wasn't wo0t but now he's popping off, good for him and TH he finally found his footing.

Wo0t for flex so they can have a raze??????

I cooked but then SEN threw 😔

Idk who you are but good thing we agree

How do you try and justify any of your wins keke team was never the best.

LOCK//IN:
Did not play against a single team that reached playoffs except Furia (KEKE and almost lost to them). Played n0vi (got cleared hella hard the rest of the year). And almost lost to LOUD when they lost two of their super star and most rated players from the previous year.

On top of this horrible single elim format and newly formed teams.

Tokyo:
Got free skip to playoffs AFTER LOSING TO LULQUID. Beat NRG where Ardiis dropped possibly the worst rating/stats that I’ve ever seen, PRX with a PUBG streamer, almost lost to EG when their star player wasnt even guaranteed to play, and then played them again.

Champs:
Played against ZETA (kekw) and then played against a shaky BLG to qualify for group stage. Got cooked by LOUD, beat FUT (these guys basically got a free pass into playoffs), almost got cooked by DRX (5th-6th place curse was way too strong plus they looked off after the first map), and then they got cooked by LOUD again.

Didn’t make Madrid yet keeping the same team (keke), bombed out of Shanghai, and had an easy road in champs since BLG and KRU were basically free and G2 was off.

“Other teams caught up to them” - Fraudnatic Fan
No they didn’t teams just realized how to get their visa issues solved and could maintain a team that wasn’t made with little prep. Fraudnatic cannot win with b0tster on the team even if chronicle and derke are trying their best.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

These are just a few of what my brain could come up with if there are better options lemme know

Classic: FengF (at least for this champs couldn’t think of anyone else)
Shorty: Twisten
Frenzy: TenZ
Ghost: idk
Sheriff: Meteor

Stinger: idk
Spectre: idk
Bucky: Jawgemo
Judge: Whzy
Bulldog: idk
Guardian: Munchkin/Demon1
Phantom: idk
Vandal: Scream
Marshal: Yay
Outlaw: idk
OP: Kangkang/cNed/Yay
Ares: Sinatraa
Odin: Forsaken/Leo

Wait if you think about it, riot has many probability mechanics in the game that affect how you play and pulls you in. Sounds like something a lot of people love, casinos! Now what do casinos want out of you? To waste all of your money and to spend all of your time there. Sounds like valorant no?

Now what happens if riot is secretly just rigging everything so that you are stuck in the game. Always getting bad teammates or have horrible first bullet accuracy but can’t quit? How about having good teammates and having really lucky fba? These all keep you in the game, if you won one you keep playing, if you keep losing you try and get another win so you keep playing.

Riot is RIGGING the games to keep you attracted with all of this probability nonsense and whenever they release a new bundle people will go spend more money, even if they don’t have that much. This just proves that riot is basically a casino where the odds to win big are slight to none.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DONT RETIRE

Not even trying to hate or anything but FNC did indeed got worse. Most of their games are bailed out by 1-2 players going nuclear which usually wins them the game. The calling is much worse than in 2023 and nothing can excuse that.

Very high chance that TH win but the game could go either way, but rito needs the bag so SEN is more likely to win.

Trace being that low but kru/prx being that high is just criminal. Kru’s only feat is beating nervous Billy Billy and prx’s only feat is beating fut.

Humiliated them and has a 100% win rate against americas, if he played against one in playoffs they would’ve won a series.

They aren’t paying me enough over here

I may be a prophet

I might be him

It’s still always possible but it’s not looking too great rn

We did get a fnc rematch tho

Wait I cooked again wtf

1. Aspas (was scary throughout 3 champions, pretty self explanatory)
2. Sacy (dominated champs 2022 and is doing extremely well in 2024)
3. Chronicle (has been doing amazing any time he plays champs, basically carries all of fnc’s aura alongside Leo when he plays)
4. Biank (made playoffs everytime he has played champs on two completely different teams and has done so pretty well. Also Billy Billy aura is still within him, only can destroy top Americas team)
5. Idk y’all decide

Wait I cooked today

WHZYYYYYYY 👻👻👻👻👻👻👻

🫵🏻🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Would be really funny, Shanghai all Chinese teams basically bombed out, Seoul basically all Pacific teams bombed out.

For the most hype.

EDG beats SEN
LEV beats TH

Aspas rematch against EDG
EDG rematch against the last remaining member of EG (c0m)

SEN beats FNC again in a do or die match
TH beats DRX to average their Shanghai GF

EDG beats LEV
SEN beats TH

SEN vs LEV rematch to redeeem SEN of their loss or so LEV can prove that their win wasn’t a fluke

This doesn’t come down to a moderation issue it’s a user issue, moderation doesn’t need to handle hate to a player since that’s part of the game you should expect to see hate if you do poorly. The problem is the users on vlr, they just brain dead so can’t blame most of them.

Depends on dominancy, if the team wasn’t dominate in their runs then possibly no, but them being consistent adds a lot.

Before

No hate to TH but they shouldn’t be that high, they almost lost to GenG when 3 of their players were having an off game, texture included. Putting them 3-4 ranks above sentinels who basically dog walked them is criminal.

How much money would you make based on your vlr posts (in the ranks below)

This is US BASED mb to other countries

0-20 posts (you probably have an actual job making ~60k irl)
21-500 posts (10k, you probably have a life just make a few posts every so often)
501 - 1000 posts (25k)
1001 - 2500 posts (50k)
2501 - 5000 posts (60k)
5001 to 10000 posts (85k)
10000+ posts (120k, people who think their jobs are vlr thread makers)

Edit: oops it’s in general discussion mb
