Alexiik is not the next kaajak, ur high bro

Stfu, ur team farms against ur regional and shits the bed internationally

That's sarcasm i suppose

Why is the kr team so behind??

There are 10 slots?? Damn

They literally went against the 2nd place team that everyone expected to win in bangkok for playoffs bro, for toronto they literally almost won against the winner PRX even after a bad start and a bad map pool, they couldn't qualify for EWC and came only 3rd in stage 1 cause EMEA teams had to play playoffs on tejo needed meta, an agent team liquid used to rely on for a lot of their maps , with it's nerf all their comps instantly got heavily nerfed. Their roster is pretty damn good considering its a budget roster and their management hasn't thrown infinite money to form a team

From south asia, I hope it's deecee , I really hope it's him

Well tbh soulcas leaving didn't really impact them much as he wasn't like great, penny is a good choice bro come on, u know that as well, i suppose they tried to take flor because to riot they can make it seem like we are trying to get gc players as well so good reputation for the next partnership era when teams are re evaluated. Taking batujnax was the worst ever decision like firstly the guy even with his apeks matches hasn't played enough to get a second vlr page for his matches and even the games and leagues where he played , the guy put up pretty avg numbers and not like anything special or good but even after picking him up, they decide we wanna change his role from flash initiators to recon so now he gotta learn new stuff and then later changed it to senti wow. Yeah overall pretty terrible

GE has an academy team trying to build up Indian talent and the management tbh is pretty clear in their messages and stuff, they are actually truly passionate people wanting to grow the scene, they tried Indian players for 2 years and it didn't really work

Well Indian players will be worse , to put it lightly they would be worse than furia, young indian talent rarely enters into the scene and those do are never found to be that dedicated or compassionate Abt growing the scene or putting their name up in the world why? Cause the salaries are inflated as fuck in t2 of south asia , a lot of players n t2 are like the csgo players who then shifted to valo. Only just now some promising talent exists ( 1-2 ) who could with practice go on to Become good t1 pros in like 2-3 years or more. Indian parents make the situation worse as parents don't allow gaming much ,and would prolly never give in for u to become a pro or put ur college on hold to become a pro( btw in india it's a really bad overall life decision in itself to put college on hold for pro) . T2 orgs mostly import SEA or russian talent to win, no Indian player strives to become an import in SEA so as to get better in other regions with higher competition level.

yeah

laptop is better , i soon start college and unless i get like the better hostels i prolly wont have enough space for a pc

well a really cheap pc here would cost like 400-500 dollars but it wont run much stuff tbh, a decently good enough pc that can run quite some good games will be around 800-900dollars , laptops are different and go way more expensive though provide good value for rheir expensiveness, i technically dont have a job rn but am looking to get one in near future to save money and buy a good laptop myself

went to a friends house today and got to play in his pc consecutively for like 3 hrs and saying that after playing all those games

i am actually gonna do that , that is the plan, but i have to get creative since like in india there arent as many part time jobs as there are in other places around the world and tbh the part time jobs dont pay great ( talking abt physical ones), online ones can pay good if i get the stuff right

lol yeah man, some people die of thirst while others drown

i am 7.5k with f2p , just recently joined back, not a mk player

i wanted to try that

well i havent played that much to reach that high

Yeah bro, idk why u don't, I know some times its extremely rage inducing but it's fun

Idk man, one of my brother in law had the same story and now he's an adult withan amazing pc and still enjoys gaming

I have never played it too much bro, what the fuck do u mean quit , when I say I used to play regularly, my regular was like 3 games a week

That's the plan man

I really like to play valorant but I didn't have a good enough laptop or pc, 3 years ago my dad got a laptop from his work and I was allowed to use it for study purposes and so I tried to play on it and to my suprise it actually worked wonders like not too high fps or anything but it was so playable unlike the laptop i had which used to run it on 10 fps literally though it was an expensive laptop ( I am guessing it's more for work related stuff) , but since I had my high school during that time I really couldn't play much and more like played 2-3 games per week in a lucky week and most of the times never did play. After the year was over i finally thought some free time to play valorant but guess what, just before that my dad had like various clients he used to provide his services and thus mostly he never took the laptop to work unless like once or twice a week but when my vacations happened , he got like a pretty permanent client which required him to take the laptop like every fucking day so no valorant. Finally like currently my dad got that laptop from my work permanently as the client just gave it to him, and while my dad has gotten another laptop from the permanent client which he now uses and so I get the older laptop and I was happy that I could finally play valo ohh but to my fucking suprise, riot has fucked me with their vanguard update that requires a higher version of windows no and since this laptop is enterprise I can't update it

What the fuck? Never expected this on vlr

Yessss

Says the guy with furia flare

U don't know ball, icebox and abyss surely remove them but ascent and haven are the two best designed maps of all maps and u can confirm this from any analyst out there

True that, buddy was one of the best performing players of split 1 and still got kicked

Also I think it's also because babybay is retired and stuff and so they prolly had like confirmation from leaf that he would be back before champs so why waste money on someone like demon1 for a temporary period, babybay is prolly being paid the minimum amount of t1 and he's just doing this because he likes it

I think they did have engh as coach but like they had zero facilities and money since they couldn't associate themselves with gambit this it's like they had to pool in their own money for expenses and stuff and prolly couldn't even afford a good place wherein all 5 could practice together

I am pretty sure koi has never made playoffs either

I want dfm in champs

Oh didn't read that my bad then

What happened there tho? Like not friends anymore?

It was injury man otherwise he had q decently avg year not like atrociously bad like people tell it out to be

Why no texture? Texture will be retained mate

No no no, cross platform is not the answer bro, trust me mat it's not fair competition in ranked with cross platform

Naah man, it can actually be highly popular in the east and they can create successful eSports out of it, what are u reminiscing about is the wild rift tbh ,it was made purely because riot wanted to capitalise on the mobile market and league popularity but they had close to no starting knowledge and it was so late in competition

It's officially releasing only in china on August 19 so basically global release will take like not more 6-8 months after that I suppose or maybe a year at max. What do u think Abt it's eSports tho? Surely riot will try their hand at this , I know it's gonna be super popular in the east in asia and china but not in the west since eu and Americas are more inclined towards pc and console games

She was good definitely and she is good definitely

Are u in the past or something? PRX lost that lead to liquid and then won masters , G2 are playing with a retired ex player and are already qualified prolly meaning they are pretty sure leaf will be back by champs and thus currently only wanna spend minimum salary on temporary replacement. Also fnc made finals in toronto but their map pool wasn't bad at all but it was rather good and kinda anti the map pools of other teams

Mate I highly disagree? Why ? Since firstly icebox one of fnatics top tier map is going out of pool and abyss is coming in, a map where they haven't performed well at all, their sunset still looks questionable, they are constantly banning corrode and lost confidence on their haven, even their god like ascent comp is a bit flip floppy if ur chamber has a bad game and has been exposed by a few teams , bind is also coming in - not one of the best maps for fnc

No but if u go to vct pacific stats , it's been four weeks now and if u look meiy is there at the top with the highest kd, rating, kills per round and damage per round avg, acs . Literally crazy work

Says the guy with the most fraudulent team's flair

I am sorry bro like I used to love DRX even until bangkok but like they always do this , they make it seem like they gonna do something big and then fail horribly cause that team did look good but then decide to overthink and overcook and get into their own heads, if u think Abt it and analyse there was literally no way for t1 to win that matchup for last playoffs spot unless DRX fumbled the veto themselves which they very well did

He was great split 1, split 2 has been rough for him

How many of u all are on this ? I am actually on board man, like they genuinely look good and tbh I feel they can easily beat t1 next week, meiy is frying like heavily and this isn't the jemkin or rarga ( xi lai or rrq) fraudulent tejo support fragging kinda thing , it's legit, I would be down if they make champs man rather than a choking drx that's gonna do their regular ass 5/6th position

How and why are u still stuck in Indian rep , it's over mate , there have been bright prospects and it they wanted they could have really grinded their way into t1 or atleast some foreign t2 teams but have u heard of any Indian even trying to become an import

Is there any big ocean teams? Like well known cause tho good players exist there i haven't heard q big enough org from Oceania

Lmao if GE doesn't get a contract then practically only vlt could but even their chances are slim to none? Why cause vlt tho did invest in valo scene in the start , in the recent years they have been very specific with their investment, but fact is S8ul chances are low since they haven't even been slightly in the scene for large, the only argument u could make for them is they have q big fanbase now but like 80% of that fanbase is oblivious to valorant like they don't know Abt it too much except it's game like cs. Also why does this point always come up that the management and the ceo mismanages the team and doesn't know what their doing, like u could do any better, last year they had q bad team and that's it bro, nobody was really good enough so they had to let everyone go, this year seems like some good prospects, in 2023 end texture and monyet performed well and asked higher money raises, If u closely look at ge they don't have many such sponsors or any more like, this is the general theme with Indian brands they are still very scared abt such marketing and sponsorships especially to an org that doesn't partake in bgmi, it's funded by rushi himself and some riot help which it provides to all teams thus they don't got infinite money to throw at people like vit or sen does. It's just like how F1 is , people with bigger pockets can easily put in hundreds of millions on cars and good proven drivers and succeed while teams with very limited and not so high money just have to pool their resources to get the best car they can make and get the best driver according to their budget and try their best at this
