12 in a row absolute domination let's go boys

I never claimed anything contrary brother you are tangled in your own discussion now that's all I have been saying we aren't good enough just like JP players aren't either none of them has ever been singed by Non-JP team btw just like our guys yet they have slowly been improving have produced a talent like Meiy due to great VCL and both JP teams playing with alteast 3 of them every year even if they go 0-12 or things like that. When your region is weak that's the only way to improve play and lose against the best until you catch up. With VCT Indian players have been denied that chance I hope you get my point I never said they are world class and aren't gettin chances but yess surely if an org was picked to represent my region and everyone else got shut out of the system I expect them to give chance to 4-5 of our guys before giving up on us but no they played a 4 import +1 indian roster right away in 2023. And everyone knows old GE core wouldn't do much but surely GE could have given Rawfiul, RVK, Deathmaker etc one shot before giving up on them instead of just playing Skrossi and LF who were their own players and everyone knows are perennial chokers in International high pressure situations and whole region is judged bcz of that one player forever.

brother I wasn't talking about Indians getting picked anyways but still your argument here is wrong so I will just put that out. GE already had LF and rest of the roster was just former Mad Lions players mixed with VCT players without trials. RRQ and PRX had no space , Talon wasnt going to import Indian players Secret was playing full PH and Bleed had won ascension and imported Yay. Idk where 24 slots were available for Indians or anyone here.

XLG will show levels of this game to EDG

They don't get trials brother every team in Pacific more or less wants to pick from their own country there's just no scope of even getting trials outside of PRX who barely make changes and GE who dont trust VCL India players and when they do get trial its on unfair 60 ping against others on much lower but even then leave that VCT being unfranchised didnt bridge the gap but it atleast allowed them to keep trying to bridge the gap but bcz of VCT the whole structure is collapsing we dont know yet if VCL India will even happen this year no sponsors nothing yet would never reach here if not for Franchising and artificial Tiers and promotion.

watch their whole VCT history you will see another pattern - you will never see 2 green boxes next to each other at all in VCT stretching all the way back to 23 lol

that's probably the most famous copypasta don't fall for it bro he didnt even bother replacing regular season and last few days in it lol

They did whether you like it or not the reasons you mentioned can only be bridged with time and this franchising took away the chance from Indian teams to play against the best and improve ; Valorant is like the first big PC game of India we needed few years of popularity and support to produce something but now we are stuck in limbo again with VCT local popularity and chances both went away. I mean if you want to do such talent comparisons then VCL India talents haven't even been given a chance by anyone and whoever got chance have all done great Persia,Autumn and Dos9 is our contribution as of now . Others havent gotten their chance yet you do realise it helps to have 2 JP +3 permanent Korean teams which only play with players from their own region ?
There's no team that has space for VCL India talents its just random trials and pickups GE was supposed to be that space but they have not given chance to a single talent whether import or Indian.

I thought you were talking about viewership and structure and investment not results but tbh VLT getting better result has nothing to do with changes it just happened bcz other regions are getting weaker too due to all the changes. Also that OG roster was bottom but took maps off the finalists and put up a good fight against both Scarz and Bleed despite their best player Azys never coming online that tournament. Also RNT won 1 match is 2024 they were better than that but Skrossi chokes internationally can't do much about it I guess if he plays like he plays in India would have miles better results.

It is comparable before GE and Riot threw the region to dogs with their antics we were only behind JP in viewership still give 2nd best salary and honestly have always had better imports than JP does bcz in our region you just need to speak English while you need to learn Japanese to play in VCL JP and JP fans hated only English speaking roster in Scarz which btw was their most successful roster Kr1stal and Jemkin played for them .

Lol but actually it probably will get broken in the lower bracket GE should be able to find 2 weak teams in a row now before getting eliminated as 6/7th place team

looks like the curse will live on one more week in their 4th year

if GE wins today(looks likely) it will end of one of the biggest curses in VCT; GE is only VCT team to have never won 2 matches back to back in their 3 year history.

I mean yess when no league is happening, nobody represents the country it will absolutely go downhill right but hopefully after changes in 2027 it will get better like past again. Also Deadly10 never really was big streamer even at best I have seen him get few hundred views that's it though he is a fun streamer.

This is the Patmen I used to see in VCL PH PRX Patmen was good but I always felt he is better than just that and now at GE it's full potential Patmen

They can look at SEA Tier 2 quals its full of returning former tier 1 pros this year making their own FA teams just because they can play in Tier 1 again and go to champs too if they can win and prove themselves. But Demon1 and JonahP had a spot in VCT last year itself so they are less likely to do it.

I mean if I go by VCL and Ascension then ULF was actually the best team to me this year nobody played as clean as them one of those perfect valorant teams so I am still very high on them I believe once they have all 5 in stage 1 they will surprise everyone , Audaz has already started showing up and he is their 3rd best player their best 2 are better than him and are waiting for stage 1 to bring the firepower and synergy.

obviously AG they are scrapping by somehow till now and DRG has a chance in rematch so does Tyloo to take them down obviously EDG and XLG will beat them

The RUN starts here

nope it's not why will I be biased for RRQ lol if anyone is biased here it's you trying to equate 2 very different things . Zekken joined Mibr and has played twice that's it. Boom's streak you mentioned was a one time one month thing which lasted just 5 matches . RRQ with Crazyguy has now played for one whole year two whole stages and lots of others tournaments like Masters, EWC etc . How has PRX done better regionally?(we aren't talking international don't forget).
PRX in same time frame - Winners of Stage 2 , 3rd in Stage 1 last year 1-1 in kickoff rn
RRQ in same time frame - Winners of Stage 1, 2nd in Stage 2 , demolished PRX today in Kickoff and just keep watching they will take 1st seed of kickoff too .
And it's better we dont argue this ahead bcz you aren't arguing in good faith anymore you are arguing just to not be proven wrong after not initially not getting the premise of what I said .

https://www.vlr.gg/595639/paper-rex-vs-rex-regum-qeon-vct-2026-pacific-kickoff-ur3 - not exact name but #87 in this thread is close to it

I dont know what about 'right now' you dont understand and are bringing up this year that year. Ever since Crazyguy joined RRQ as IGL RRQ won 1 stage, Runners up 2nd stage and are on their way to confirming TOP 4 in their 3rd tournament with this roster. There's no other roster which has done better since then I hope you get it now .

there's nothing to fall for here look at last year results and it's given RRQ will go to Santiago too in all probability as first seed . Jemkin literally can win whole maps by himself against good teams its not that crazy when Kushy plays in this form they become the best team in Pacific.

Just don't choke man it's obvious to anyone who understands the game well that while it is close regionally RRQ is now the no.1 team in Pacific great coaching staff, have the league's best player in Jemkin, great flex in Monyet, Kushy and Xeffro are great at what they do and Crazyguy is good caller who can pull out clutches too.

other than Pacific viewership is falling every year in regionals anyways EMEA is almost half this year from last year so far and Americas is struggling too

even before that in ghost gaming

you know this is same core as team secret this Bren became Team Secret later getting picked up by them

Idk how people reach that opinion highest rated player in all of vct for the overall year he is just the most consistent player in the world. Nd cab play so many roles to perfection it's insane

We are all in and ready for it !!

Happy Birthday hopefully LEV makes that run as Neon and you both have reached 18 and gives you a nice birthday gift .

I may not always agree with your views on GE but you are a true fan and member of community so I always appreciate you.

currently yess but very few players have Buzz like longevity in the scene he is one of 3-4 duelist still going strong at topmost level since 2021

You should you should that's great I am here since 2021 era na so for me I chose Engima back then so can't truly support GE and VLT as primary team xd my primary support has always been wherever Rawfiul,Anti,Azys and Rvk play unfortunately they won't exist this year so rn I am just supporting teams match by match basis sometimes GE, sometimes Furia sometimes BBL pcfic you know.

nope he actually does have Indian flag on twitter so it's not like he doesnt acknowledge the country him and GE are basically same thing they represent us in a way and they also don't truly represent us

I don't think other than FUSaitama any other Indian on this website is exclusively supporting GE as their primary team but if they keep doing well should get more global supporters

come let's support Koalagoat nd Furia until then they play today against G2

He does but I am sure when this team was built it was their Korean coach Meow who built it then for some reason just before the season began they kicked him off the team . And TBH the players RBTX has coached in his life are either retired; or are already in VCT(Xavi8k and KellyS) or have had their chance for Secret and now dont play as actively( 2GE ,wildoree,nexi,draxi etc). The only guys who haven't got a chance yet and are still good who were playing under him in past are Georggy and Aplycs so lets see if he goes for them for stage 1.

they aren't under 18 anymore only whitecat is under 18 and even then you dont need to take unproven upcomers they have enough experienced players who are just as good if Secret can find a good coach

idk brother only VL knows who is igling but cinder last match fragged like an IGL and this match its oozmlp doing so lol

nope still oozmlp last match casters said so

Are the higher-ups she mentioned in the room with us ? Every Valorant team I know closely has their roster made by Coach and Org Manager. Or Alternatively they hire an agency who creates the roster according to budget and then the org signs them. The only thing that happens is in some team there's a guy usually IGL who has more inputs in team formation so he does the trials , recommendation of players and even coach to sign and in other teams coach has more say he is signed first or is there from before and he forms the team. Secret has already thrown coach Meow out who probably had input in signing Koreans in TenTen and Slyvan so I have no idea if YamYam and JC aren't the one deciding who else is even deciding.

I guess its better to tell me why instead of leaving it at that or come up with a better system yourself

I don't get this hatred for them I haven't seen anything as of now either in Apex or Valo and yess our region needs one of S8ul or Godlike and their fanbase if Valorant has to get out of the bubble where its locked rn in India.

Ahh anything more that 6 permanent teams will be useless and they should do away with country rep when they go down to 6 teams just choose 6 best high quality orgs and define player and import rules . Invite them directly to regional qualifiers and rest of the time let them play third party tournaments . Meanwhile rest can go back to old system VCL will again become important as qualifiers and we can have 6 teams representing all VCLs to come and compete alongside 6 franchised teams in regional qualifiers just like old times. Different teams and players will get chances and regionals will feel high stakes again instead of repeating chore of whole year. Keep high prize moneys so orgs are motivated to win and reach regionals and can justify investment that's it. As for my 6 permanent Franchised teams -

1. PRX(Self-explanatory biggest fanbase in the world)
2. Zeta(Again fanbase and permanent JP rep they can pick DFM players not that much of an issue they are stronger of two as org)

3.Geng/DRX( 2 korean reps to make up for their talentpool bcz we cant give them more than 1 regional slot anyways)

4. T1(2nd perma korean slot they can field strong roster big fanbase reputed org cant leave out)

5.RRQ( Indo fanbase is great but they rep whole of SEA here big org)

6.S8ul/Fancy United/PH org maybe ? ( honestly the whole point of this slot is representing rest of big fanbases but weak regions whoever is here should be instructed to pick from India/OCE/VIETNAM/PH/Malaysia/Mongolia etc basically rest of regions)

As for 6 VCL Slots to Regional league - KR-1 , JP-1 , India/OCE-1 ,SEA-3.

yess hard agree n1cf for someone new to website won't even make sense it felt much better when I got to read number1cnedFan and number2cnedFan ; he should go back to that name

He did it for years in Oasis gaming and Naos nothing new for him

I think putting Azys on perma Yoru isnt a good idea he is better on every duelist and even sentinels than Yoru if whitecat is in team him playing waylayand yoru while Azys playing raze jett and neon works better rest its a good team idk about Mindfreak igling though Tesseract can IGL better so let him do it

r/ValorantCompetitive play of the year winner needs to be in VCT man so the world can see many more insane aces from him Secret get Azys in man he won't let PH down I have watched him play for 4 years for my fav T2 team.

Vision Strikers win streak record was legendary and will never ever be broken . Zest was an integral part of it and his story just like VS itself has been of near misses but still a great and unforgettable part of Valorant eSports.

Yess Neon is returning atleast that's what I have heard he turned 18 yesterday
