look at M8 scorecard on Split man everyone is negative and then there is marteen and it wasn't even close have we ever seen such one player demolition whole map where nobody else in his team even went positive yet it was super easy win

don't worry only NA teams have qualified for San Diego so they can win it EMEA would rather try and win Masters Santiago

I mean EMEA has banger storylines today if anything until Furia vs MIBR EMEA just has best matchups to watch over anything today ; Starxo has to back his words against BBL ; Chronicle and Derke against Fnatic .

If it's meant in comparison with current PRX yess but when PRX got that tag they played a much faster execute heavy style also the original W Gaming squad was Fancy United team from 21-23 era from Vietnam(teams scrimmed them to prepare for PRX matchup) they just never achieved much bcz they were even more unhinged than PRX to a point it was too extreme and one dimensional.

PRX won't change anything I know but if they actually want to it has to be one of something or Jingg bcz both are very inflexible players and trying to adjust both in their comfort roles messes up PRX's roles a lot case in point Breeze currently. They will need to get a duelist who can flex to any role just like Forsaken that's what Patmen also provided them he could have played anything . They can again look to PH region if they want there are 2/3 great players who fit the profile .

Nd Riot EMEA is gonna be celebrating looking at this result EMEA Clash just got a huge viewership boost ggs

It was invisible cam as far as I remember giving unfair info to the team and other team couldn't even see that cam was seeing them lol.

yess 1 slot Stallion secured it ; we know all VCL teams now except French Champions which will be decided today JL vs Mandatory

I wasn't expecting much with how weird the strats and team comp has been but was certainly expecting Top 2 disappointing for Xipto literally had best team on paper in PH now idk if they stick together till April but if they do I hope they change these wacky roles and iron out their gameplay. Azys looks good on everything except Yoru still shooting sharpest here as he was in VCL SA so I kind of would continue to support Xipto especially since none of my fav core members are even playing except him.

disastrous gameplan from the coaching staff despite having best ph team on paper picking split again and again with nothing to show for in the map , yoru jailing Azys who has never played that agent nerfing your best player.

xip split doesn't work Azys on yoru and 13rd on raze ....;)

13rd is sort of Neon crutch but he is crazy on that agent man he is also just 16 one day he will be a top player too

As I see it KellyS can play Yoru well and as long as he is in Secret they only need to replace TenTen. But Yoru is about to be nerfed soon and we dont know yet what meta will be after that so yess ideally Secret needs to have Azys first he is flexible(but that means KellyS has to go) can play duelist and sentinel and initiator while Whitecat and Zeus are pure duelists can't flex. Also whoever Secret picks I hope they use him well unlike Xipto having Azys and Ja and one jailed on sentinels and other jailed on Yoru which he cant even play properly Secret needs to make sure roles make sense to get best out of Zeus/Azys/whitecat or if they pick 2 of them then they have a good plan to use both on strong agents.

I know you rate Whitecat a lot Morikoe but tbh Zeus is better than Whitecat and if he goes to play somewhere he won't be stand in for anyone else Zeus turns 18 this april btw so he can be played in Stage 1.

I am not one of them who wants them out I am just stating what's obviously going to happen there's no comparison between S8ul and GE S8ul is 100* bigger org than GE is on every parameter that matters for things like franchising now and I have nothing to do with S8ul or any org honestly. And just to inform you they don't have any academy team they disbanded it the day VCL ended and don't plan on making it again as of now. Also the hatred you see for GE comes from immature statements made by their own management which has depleted their fanbase and angered people it's not just them not having Indians on the team which though is also a reason.

First stop writing using AI I don't feel like replying to that shit second GE was here since Dota and that's why they got the spot the points you are arguing for S8ul are all completely outdated ; they have no record in PC bcz they never had money and they had zero interest in trying they are shrewd business and they pull back moment they fail to see the profit. They are about to enter Rocket League in few months; their Apex legends team has now been with them for more than a year and is one of the best roster in the world and also has great fanbase supporting them . They had a successful CODM roster, have success in eFifa, had a COD roster for whole year and basically had 12 rosters competing in EWC and obviously maintained their Valorant team throughout the off season this year.

idk how you look at all the money EWC partnership gave S8ul and even think GE can defend their slot after what they have done so far. Riot only cares about views and fanbase everyone knew M8 were coming in when they cut KOI - simply for viewership and it's going to happen next year if there's still slot there for the country. RNTX VLT GE nobody has a chance against the S8ul org value GE got it first time bcz S8ul didn't have money back then they later tried with Bleed and their collab to but into GE's slot but Riot blocked that now money isnt an issue so if there's an Indian slot it will be theirs .

Xipto should win this easily but I still don't like roles in Xipto . Trying to play the meta in Yoru doesn't suit the strength of players of Xipto and they play stuck between structure and chaos as of now . Maybe Azys playing Raze/Jett with 13rd on Neon/waylay and then double initiator or switching Sova/Fade for Skye/Kayo to compensate for flashes allows Xipto's firepower to shine more. Also maybe more of JA on Chamber leaning into the firepower even if this kind of comp is slightly off meta should work better in short run for them..

Ping issues is your answer with VCT around as closed system Riot doesnt have money to have a LAN in break for teams around the world Pacific and Americas can't have EMEA Clash type tournament unless they just skip teams from half of the regions. And if you only keep VCT teams it will have no stakes at all bcz it will just be repeat of Stage 1/kickoff and teams won't even take it seriously and Riot will be afraid that it will drain viewers watching the same thing over and over again. You can see that in current league structure how badly Americas and EMEA's viewership has fallen apart only Pacific grows and that too due to new teams getting better and having so many sub-regions.

EMEA clash is happening this year brother it's from 19th Feb nd it's better than pointless China Evolution structure

Azys is well nd truly back diffing oasis on yoru just in his second ever official match on that agent

Not having a great day today oasis has better strats nd setplays no free picks

hmm though rn xipto def has role issues Azys has to play agents he has never played before Xip needs to shuffle a bit of duelist roles betweeen 13rd nd Azys that way we get to see 13rd on more agents and Azys will be comfortable

Ph has 3 U-18 talents on duelist rn who are all great - Zeus , Whitecat and 13rd idk who is best of 3

he had off today man chill it happens

13rd vs Zeus battle of PH's young prodigies
Azys vs Tess (teammates for years now against each other)
Absolute Banger matchup its likely a preview of grand final too.

I think Rinsat is there no he is like 16 still and he was playing on laptop more or less and that too he is busy in school mostly and still is good enough to go toe to toe with VCL SA pros(he has very high peaks he diffed Georggy and Azys in off season playing on much weaker AST). But we need to nurture and grow players like him I am happy AST keeps him signed full time on the roster since past 2 years from back when he was 14 and that's why we even get to see him. Similarly other orgs also need to sign young pros in academy team when we don't have many serious players or young pros. Deadly10 who was also considered a prodigy also flourished bcz RGE always kept him signed. And similarly Indian Valorant's original prodigy Rawfiul was from VLT Academy who signed him in first year of Valorant.

Fixed at 6 right nd we almost know most of them due to placement of eliminated teams - KC, GX ,ULF nd Navi are going to be 4/6 . Last 2 will either be 2 of Vit/M8/BBL or FUT nd PCF depending on who makes it to masters. If all 3 of Vit,M8 nd BBL make it then Fut nd pcf otherwise whoever of these 3 doesn't make it will be at EMEA clash

Overcooking a bit but will be fun regardless

I want the no practice last min sub rag tag vibe shooting all CIS roster in EMEA Clash for nostalgia so let's go NOVO get it today

GO GO GO Santiago time XLG

I can relax now let's go XLG got this Santiago time

It's shrinking every year instead of growing with results and no namer teams they generally build lol if GE can't go international this year they will end up with net negative contribution to Valorant Scene

PRX choke vs GE no consecutive wins GE curse wins unfortunately

all good Happywei wants the kill record so tactical 2 map throws today last map yesterday

I think Frost knew he was about to get anti'ed if he kept running Veto everywhere now he changes Split comp too but I feel like PRX shouldn't have gone Breeze their roles dont work as well there Split PRX has good chance bcz its mirror comp and GE is shifting to this after playing Veto Comp while this is PRX main comp

blg bringing gekko to breeze what are they cooking

why has been XLG choking since yesterday mannn

not legal anymore after new bill though not implemented yet though you won't be punished anyways payment aggragrators and betting sites will be punished

80-90% of marriages in India are arranged no other form is acceptable to majority still.

He is a great player elite player but he is always overhyped the day you stop believing the narrative that he has some other wordly aim which no other pro in the world has you won't be disappointed . He plays well and aims great too but he is not far ahead of others he is just flashier there are 20 others who aim at the same level as him and some are more consistent than him.

GE is back again looking to break Valorant's greatest curse winning 2 games in a row for first time the chance is here again.

It's not org issue they were willing its Riot and TO issue ; you just can't earn money in VCL nowadays so nobody wants to lose money organizing them for negligible views and Riot themselves don't want to host it either. But they will do find a way to do it maybe it will be rushed and shortened this year but VCL SA will happen something would be done about it .

I never thought my goats will have an off day of all today today ;)

I have never done betting but yess esports generally are easier to bet on and make some money if you don't take risks and get too greedy. There are few matches you know the results like 90% sure just bet big on them and that's it don't bet on anything else. Just to give you an example everytime Zeta and Secret were playing anyone in Pacific or Loud was playing you just had to bet against them and you would have very low odds but guaranteed money.

I mean not likely as of now XLG AG and BLG are still favoured to lock the 3 seeds they have not lost to DRG and EDG so far in kickoff

XLG 3-0 AG won't even be close

I believe it will be XLG 3-0 AG nd Lev 2-1 C9 rest I have no strong opinion on.

NV 2-0 EG; Demon1, Eggster and Keznit fight to play duelists at the start of every map they all end up instalocking whatever duelist they can anyways and run it down with zero comms and zero vibes to win the match.

you can't make this actual roster when your best 2 players are waiting to return with them ULF is a top team rn they are just decent underdogs
