I hope others get helmets for LAN watch out when heads will be taken clean off before opponents will even see RNTX boys I am confident in India always have been yess they can improve few things and they should if they are serious about winning ascension but LAN is different playground you will see

Yep this deadlock comp that S8ul runs GEA runs it clearly looks like counter to them and actually better too.
They have Georgyyy and Venka who can both play deadlock too

there is none since GE Academy can't play ascension qualifiers and any other way you calculate RNTX will somehow finish atleast 4th

there's no possibility in which RNTX falls out of top 4 they are in ascension qualifiers they earned 65 points from this too

they are limit testing since they are qualified to ascension quals so in some maps not showing anything at all other testing some weird executes just trying to scrap win with as much defaulting as possible without revealing their hand too much

Mods please correct it matchups for today are Rnt vs GEA nd dot exe vs ast

Nope this is wrong vlr mods have messed it up . Asterisk vs dot exe nd RNTX vs Ge Academy is correct matchup

I think with this RGE is actually out of ascension qualifier bcz DXE will leapfrog them now nd . Unless Asterisk has something crazy to show we have our 4 teams for ascension qualifier already RNTX ,VLT ,S8ul and DXE

Ggs the 16 yo nd 19 yo mumbai server prodigies actually showed up in full form today

From today we dream again

Very interesting poster from nodwin Russ isn't registered for this split instead it's Amaterasu nd Patrickwho for VLT but I haven't seen any announcement

See ideally it should be but GEA's coach has some great ideas up his sleeve nd Karam1l is dangerous it's a huge upgrade for GEA he is a top top Indian player like easily top 10 of all time in India so if he turns up S8ul 2-1 might be more realistic

Garv(most probably ) or Yuvi both of them are good at it , Karam1l will flex may play some harder to play duelist if they have planned on it otherwise he will focus on doing what he does best lurking nd mid round calling

Three names are already visible just add Garv(former RGE) and Karam1l(former Engima, Godlike,Rge)

As I guessed Karam1l it is alongside garv too I like the changes

I don't like Envy2k being dropped rest is fine. How do they upgrade with all Indian team realistically? Is there anyone who is like a leader, great shooter nd caller available in India atm ?
Wait ig Karam1l is playing for Rog academy in premier they might be going for him that makes sense to me atleast it's an upgrade

that's true but counterpoint for a team that apparently represents India we had to trial on 60+ ping on Singapore while others got ping advantage over us

he may be carrying some sort of injury but yess it's little disappointing seeing face of Valorant eSports struggle a bit recently

I think where Nats and Serial have role clashes they may simply play Penny on duelist to keep things comfy and simpler since they have no prep time

I will never forget the twisting tiger episode

What is even happening here

I saw the clip posted on reddit today in case anyone of you wants to check out how insane it was without having to work for it to find the clip - https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/s/oOQCIwV19S

I think play in format is coming just like Americas due to uncertainty about 2 ascended teams in Boom nd NS.
I think atleast 1 from each region plus 3 from SEA will directly be qualified for grp stage with 2nd teams getting play in slots depending on how NS and Boom perform nd if they will occupy 2 slots then no play in .if any of them stays in VCT or directly gets relegated we will have play in slots.

the best split till date no doubt it's the highest level of play we have seen RNTX playing with so much patience so much teamwork is always great to see they have insane potential hope they realize it this year

Venka bringing his best when it truly matters that's what we love to see from our next gen our prodigy . Azys is honorary Indian by now he will represent both PH and us at global stages one day I know it . Rawfiul is our silent assassin was the original prodigy in 2021 and is still one of the best no matter what role you give him . Georggyyy is doing everything for the team and Anti the best team master the thread holds them all together as always . The fairytale that began at Enigma 4 years ago on the day when Rawfiul joined them continues another great chapter added.

OUTAIMING the Whole Region since 2022 5/7 splits for Anti, Rawfiul and Azys come again boys come again on LAN now we even have Venka taking your heads clean off.

Wow live feed for VCL

Ggs finally yet another episode of our international reps faltering when it truly matters

His OP is actually really really good like top tier but you have never seen it in international bcz he chokes everytime he plays there if once he op'ed like he does in India he would be a much more successful star by now

there's a very famous clip on reddit where Furia throw 1v3 one by one even after calling each other to peek together lol . Also VLT could play this better but it was more of Azys brilliance they wanted Damaara to get ace so first fight so he can go around and kill Azys but Azys had presence of mind to take out shorty and take down damaara before he could take him down. then VLT was preparing a double swing Azys anticipated and peeked himself to take one and dash to other side where he immediately had presence of mind to jett smoke himself to prevent main guy from killing him. Threw another smoke to distract Russ and peeked out from his smoke at the same time(at this point I have no idea what Russ was trying to do and why Madelyn was hiding in main) and took clean headshot and immediately adjusted to main predicting the peek , Madelyn now gave the most obvious peek instead of waiting and was instantly deleted too. You can see the util usage and positioning from Azys was perfectly auto piloting without a thought which allowed him to do that.

as I mentioned already in other match thread it should never have been scheduled like this it was already unfair to whoever lost upper final when they should be the team getting advantage but yess starting the match playing 2 maps and then shifting 3rd to next day isnt fair either to RGE. Did nodwin expect VLT to win 2-0 and took a decision based on that bcz that is shameful way of thinking . I hope we can have a bo5 tomorrow proper and RNTX gets fair time to warmup too bcz this isnt being handled well for any team

We are LAN demons since 21 VLT is really good but our LAN aimgame is better

Yep Rawfiul slept map 2 got cooked he topped the server 2 maps nd they won they need atleast 3/4 to play well to win which isn't a good thing or 2 of them to absolutely go nuclear

Just produced the best 1V5 clutch and ACE I have seen in my life you all need to see it to believe it
https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/s/oOQCIwV19S

Venka has better pool and plays niche duelists but on conventional duelist it isnt even close Azys is one of the best in whole of Asian Tier 2 . Venka is better at Neon and hence they let him play but honestly Azys plays every agent like duelist look at how he played look at his first fights so yeah they need to have more reps with this comp it isnt good enough for international yet

I mean we barely have pool of 25 players I believe we are lucky we still have 2-3 good players everytime . I still remember 2021 time Enigma competed against SEA teams lost easily but Rawfiul and Rvk looked good enough to compete obviously times change players change but problem is same 2-3 good players and even they aren't consistent

Godspeed is their coach maybe he couldnt come to LAN definitely took timeout though ig

It was Rawfiul's slight whiff at 12-11 which brought this to overtime and it was his 4k to finish it 14-12 talk about quick redemption

I don't think we are watching the same match and VLT wasn't winning for most of the match yess gamesense isn't good they don't check angles at times choke in pressure and whiff sometime and you know some of them play with ego too big unnecessarily fighting but ig they were aiming fine had some standout moments and the setplay and executes were great too coaches have definitely put prep in

hopefully RNTX shows why they have such flawless record in Indian LANs ; time for a spark

Depends on how many survive realistically you are looking at 4 permanent ones being dropped+ 2 ascension orgs to bring the number to 6 teams.
When you leave 6 orgs you only keep best of the best regardless of region -in Pacific I would say DFM, GE , Secret and one of the 3 korean org getting dropped.
In EMEA I would say Koi,Giantx, one of Bbl or Fut and possibly navi.
In Americas it's almost obvious Furia, Mibr, Evil geniuses nd then it will come down to cloud9 or Leviatan.

great igl him and marzil are only IGLs in India I have seen who can win you round just with their reads and calling , we have a serious dearth of good igls

just go for Rawfiul or Deathmaker I guess both of them are good at senti and are all time top players in India you can check it out if you want . I guess Rawfiul was highest rated Indian senti in VCL SA split 1 too not sure though.

Infact I don't think you should use jerrwin, ion2x or sacred for India it's like putting Tenz as Vietnamese or Zekken in Philippines none of them are citizen of India infact afaik they were born, raised and have spent all their lives in US only their parents were Indian . I believe Venka on duelist , Rawfiul on intiator/senti flex, Lightningfast as Controller , skrossi on sentinel/2nd duelist flex and R1sen/Psy igling as Initiator main would be best Indian team but its your wish to proceed with your original idea or use this suggestion. I am excited for your simulation results regardless given Riot is probably never making this happen in reality.

I have heard pros say that they learnt controller by seeing him play even when he was in tier 2 so I dont think that's even a question he is the best controller in EMEA

I was thinking about adjusting in 2 day here bcz I am sure cost will increase substantially if they add another day to LAN that's why suggested that format ideally I would love to have full split on LAN like we had in 2023

idk if we can even wait 1 more year for decrease in number of franchised team I think Riot should quickly create a pathway for non-VCT teams to play against VCT teams for qualification of masters and champs as early as start of next cycle

haven't had a single Indian player whole year and despite that haven't achieved anything yet, Have only had total of 2 Indian players that too playing at different times since the start of franchising and both of them already used to play for GE since like 2021. GE has tried 16 foreign players and 2 Indians since start of franchising but sure bro Indians are the problem in GE

yep no study breaks guys that's the way you switch teams in Valo without buyout issues happens a lot more than you see . Anyways he is the best duelist in all of SEA tier 2 so excited to see him in VCT CN

https://www.youtube.com/live/YBxQNCWkTS4?feature=shared - that's the best you guys can get for this match Mioken is co-owner of GE .

though I like the vibes of new team Secret but honestly Wildoreoo as primary duelist may not be the play it just doesn't seem to work on raw firepower itself
