this match will give us good idea as to whether S8ul is in top half of these teams or is soul the bottom 4 bcz GEA has looked like the perfect in the middle team till now

no coach no salary no practice brother OG just has a bootcamp plus the slot from Orangutan and hence they are using this name

I am afraid VLT has lost the map veto here hard match for them now

its slowly all coming together Anti shot better DM is gaining form already afterall Split 1 might be RNTX

rawfiul special hopefully rntx fanbase can give him his flowers which he has deserved for 4 years now. Dm and Skrossi are rated much more than him despite him putting up equal numbers to them just bcz he never played for a team with good fanbase

I know that bro but think about it if they want an org to invest they will have to work hard and produce results rn. OG still is giving them bootcamp so they can play at their best and get a new org I am sure they will work hard to secure one for themselves

it's possible if you are at top of your game you can do it .
Highest peak by an Indian - 1014rr Rawfiul(#4 that act)
Highest peak by rank- Zephe(he has reached no. 1 multiple times by grinding at start of the season.)
other notable peakers- Skrossi,Techno,Ligtningfast.
OG players who did it in past easily- Excali, RVK,hellff,deathmaker, deadly10
future hopes- Yuvi, Jaggi,Rinsat,Yash,Ginola,Snipist won't cook, tricky, trinity, levi etc
most consistent radiants of India - Rawfiul(radiant every act since year 1 of valorant 2020-21 ), Techno( radiant every act since he hit it once almost now 2 years back)

"ast at risk" bcz they are also about to feel the spark .

won't be very one sided OG can shoot back and deal with Neon menance , longer VLT plays clearer teams will see their comps weakness and counter it

Most competitive vcl sa till date nd it will only get better watching, gameplay everything has been better than ever before.
Also all the imports are top tier players too nobody has been imported this time just for the sake of it.

He has insane reset nd spray control NGL I have been impressed Rawfiul nd Azys will also improve some aspects of their game if they learn from him plus Georggyyy will clean more heads as he learns bit from their shooting

I mean both of them are pretty similar profile yess dambi has much better neon than him yes but Patrick is slightly better on other duelists

I will not bear this Rawfiul erasure it's been 3 years now xd.
Also atm Velocity is doing better than RNTX on firepower bcz Deathmaker isn't firing much. I feel like currently it's Vlt at first nd RNTX second . But I have this weird feeling too that RNTX is not really showing their cards yet they selected 6 different maps on 2 different matches nd ran weird double duelist on pearl like ranked today.
Also Gobz has created some great setplays on every map plus RNTX is showing great discipline on man advantage(won like 37/40 rounds against GEA) nd tbh even GE Academy had great fundamentals so aRubyz is cooking too.
Other than Aura nd S8ul every team rn has insane firepower nd xfactor rn in VCLSA. S8ul will also hv theirs once kingkappa lands in India

AST might make a sub for this lets see

it's changed now brother as of now Split 2 is also for point and Split 3 also for points. The top 4 teams which have total highest points after 3 splits will play in a double elimation ascension qualifiers tournament from which 1/2 (slots for us not finalised yet) teams will qualify to represent India in Ascension.
Split 1 is just round robin, Split 2 is grp+playoff and so on Split 1 gives less points while split 3 gives highest points all you hv to do is be top 4 team after 3 splits if you arent worried abt prize money

doesnt matter Azys,georggy and Rawfiul just shot back better lets go map 2

weird comp from RNTX ngl for map 1

I think you need to ping them on discord they will do it for you dw or you can exchange paper clips with vlr users and get it done your wish

only two orgs have won VCSA Orangutan and RNTX and interestingly the core than won it for first org(OG) is now playing for the second org(RNTX) that won VCSA .
I know OG boys are going to run it down on aim let's see if RNTX reigns supreme or our 5 Indian stars do.

he is streaky bcz he plays high sens ig his peaks are really high but then he can fall off the clip completely happened at GE too he looked so good for few matches but then had disaster split 2

he is so good with it that him not doing that is nerfing himself unfortunately the moment he goes to internationals he takes pressure so much that he misses still standing people and that's been the biggest tragedy of indian valo

russ

I have nothing to do with them bro have criticised them in past for their hypocrisy too but rn they are bringing what Indian valorant needs so a bit of sacrifice has to be done on our end too. Look at the viewership rn we have already broken past the peak viewership of last 2 years nd it's just second day , putting them in open qualifiers nd risking them not qualifying when they are willing to enter isn't worth it however you see it.
Skrossi nd VLT are backbones of Indian valorant nd I was sure they will breeze past open qualifiers which they did. More slots won't matter really bcz competition is pretty weak in India still you either let everyone qualify from open or this fine one more slot wouldn't change anything.

Exactly this whole debate about slots is very unnecessary. Was the slot given to S8ul in a fair way ? No
But was there any other team who deserved it more than them ? Also no .
Skrossi nd VLT had zero rights over any slot , VLT was playing in PH , Skrossi voluntarily took a break from split 3 , Russ nd LF played in Level 5 nd lost to Dupg themselves nd RNTX later decided to go with the current core nd let Skrossi go.
Atleast S8ul will pay few months salary for 3 of DUPG guys though I hv no idea why they left out their best player Karam1l.
TR,MDL,Mogo disbanded nd with only 1 slot available they simply have given Dupg's to S8ul with bit of workaround nobody else's slot can even be questioned tbh nd no other org had a team which had any claim on slot.

+1 for splash absolute top duelist in tier 2 Asia

Welcome to vlr Dhruv you do great work with community for Rntx brother , I thought obvious no Azis "Azys" Nandang the man who has topped the stats chart in almost every tournament he has played in last 2 years. click on his name see all time stats and compare with anyone else playing in this tourney night and day man.

Ggs man Rawfiul nd Azys showed up in last 2 maps , Georgyy was insane this team is only going to get better once DM catches his form.
Also shoutout to all the RNTX fans nd S8ul fans and their streamers for bringing great watching numbers for the opener.

There's not much demand for duelist in Pacific rn, the only logical teams he can go to are GE nd TS nd he didn't participate in GE trials so they won't pick him nd TS doesn't like changing that quickly plus even jremy is good

Now that was more like Rawfiul nd Azys i know hopefully map 3 is ours

bro let main TS become better than them first plz

just bantering okay bro dont take offence

good map 1 from GE boys , great debut by georgyy on a completely new role in a new setup which is promising, Anti needs to step up that was not so good shooting and calling from him.
Even Azys and Rawfiul weren't in their top form nor was Envy2k hopefully a better map 2 from all of them

bro why does nodwin do multiple streams on 2 different channels dividing viewers everywhere . Plz simply do english on one channel and hindi on other man . We already have multiple watch parties this year .

i think too skewed but then again RNTX core has won like 4/5 splits since franchising people can hate all they want underrate them every year mock their play style it doesnt change the fact that they are the best team in India since like 2022 -all they need is a fanbase,hardwork,better plans and a peak hit together and they are best candidates to brig international results.

Also I just hope he doesn't waste too much money paying in cafe if there's lack of money right now nd he isn't signed to an org. He may try nd play with a friend for sometime maybe nd look for open tryouts to get in . I heard Asterisk is trying out for their academy so he may tryout for them nd I am sure they will pay atleast 8k for his pc

I appreciate his dedication man this doesn't show vcl sa is cooked , it shows Indian valorant has a future as long as people like Sangram exist who have genuine passion for the game nd will give their all to get a chance to play.
This is reality of our country away from that top glamour nd money with barely 10% of population. I am sure Sangram will have his moment I hope some people in scene can help him temporarily so he can concentrate on his game nd earn to be able to play properly

How do we tell him about why bleed's classic became a rare relic ?

RNTX and S8ul fans were having absolute spamfest on Insta comment section , they aren't on vlr yet though .hopefully they turn up in numbers to watch too. Afterall RntX has the final boss of Indian valorant playing for them now so supporting would be easy xd

I mean Riot has to part with money but this way they can run on current costs atleast when it comes to stipend they pay -franchised teams will still be 12 and 12 more will get chance plus regions like OCE,VIET will also find representation while regions like India, Ph who have lots of orgs will get to field 2 teams .

Tanmay bro under-rating RNTX a bit or something else going on here ?

you have to have 2 VCT Pacific first up and then have something like 6+6 or atleast 8+4 slot system in every VCT league

it's all good bro split 1 starts tmrw anyways so we can see them all.
In case you still want to see these qualifier matches Fritzz streamed them on his channel beginning from ROG acad vs VLT

Will redo after week 1 after watching them all play once -
https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/8486ed84

yess literally a better jett plus you can be much more creative with this

let our region grow it will come in due time no worries Valorant is SEA's game and success is delayed but not denied to us

They are still my fav NA team but now I don't feel the same connection bcz Koala,Johnqt, BCJ all have left

hopefully GE boys go well they have been given the hardest debut I am all in to see crazy shooting in this match Rawfiul,DM,Georrgy,Azys,Envy2k and R1sen in one match is pure destruction.

btw guys I just realised AURA flair has been added due to them qual for VCL India , how about literal Aura flair ??

the og XSET flair or Gambit flair

yep good team but I believe atm RGE,RNTX and VLT are still slightly better but lets see

Deathmaker
