I think Riot mentioned that the regional leagues would be coming to EMEA first and then to other regions later. I hope its soon for the others.

IDK. I just started understanding this years VCT.

Yep its all an issue. Poiz could go to a team like Xset but he is stuck on an Academy team. If C9 lets poiz go there is a chance that Xset beat C9 with Poiz on their Roster (The Tenz Effect).

Can anyone compare ec1s to steel? I haven't seen anything about ec1s.

No, there are very few opportunities in CS for NA professionals atm. Its pretty much just TL

I know, but I would still like to see them play more than we saw them this year. I hope these new events and tournaments will evolve more of these Tier 2 teams.

I'm pretty sure TL is still going to be one of the only top NA orgs in CS (not including Brazilian teams like Fur). So, I think its more likely that more NA CS players will move to Valorant because of more opportunities.

I would shift c9, NV, and FNC down 1 place. Good list.

Me too, I love watching VCT but I want to see other teams like TSM, T1, and FPX more.

True! I was just thinking the same thing. They would be a nutty duo. However, I think its more likely for Asuna to go to C9.

I believe that chart is showing that masters is just going to happen in that month at some point rather than it spanning the total length of that time period.

24 team champions would be sick!

Its way more than just game-changers in that time span. there will be tournaments for teams that are rebuilding and new teams kinda like the ignition series in 2020.

I like the inclusion of the after champions tournaments. Stoked for this.

Scream honorable mention but he was only OK against Kru and Sen. (It seems those were both good teams though)

LATAM > NA let it be said. Kru deserve it!

I agree with fuck Zombs, but why Fuck NA?

North LATAM*

lol

Vamos Kru!

Everywhere that isn't in EMEA is a form of NA including LATAM (South NA), Brazil (Also south NA), SEA (South East NA), KR and JP (West NA).

Is it against vlrs rules to post threads in other languages?

Cmon, LouBag didn't call LATAM a shit region.

Even though they eliminated teams from NA and Brazil.

Vamos Kru!! LATAM > EMEA Hopium

Listen, the Fat Burgers have nothing to do with NA losing. However, the grease on the keyboard, mouse and monitors does make it hard to play sometimes.

Dude! Don't start the food debate again that got out of hand last time! lol

I agree, especially with what you said about consoles. I think there is a similarity with Japan in that aspect.

IDK. Even though the populations for the two region are comparable I believe that in NA console gaming takes away more of the potential player base. But still. It could be the culture and stigmas around PC gaming in NA. In NA PC gamers are generally thought of as the nerds and "uncool" people.

If leaf plays well it will be good match, if not its a better luck next year NA.

I think the NA teams tilt really easy allowing comebacks. A lot of those games should have been done with. Ace and Gambit have/had similar issues.

Clever

NA in shambles true.

NA in shambles.

lol changed his tag to Gen G. Cringe

Mitch's oping was really good

RIP GG C9B

Lol

He tested positive because he had it a few weeks ago and there are still traces of the virus in his system. He is already recovered but he tested positive so he still has to quarantine unfortunately.

You haven't lived until you have been bated by Netero. I remember once he asked why Mixwell spoke Spanish if he was from EU. That one fucking got me.

No Buzz will Champions!

No Plat Chat Balla defs had a secret convo with Stax in the urinals. Not speculation at all.

Lol why is this getting so many dislikes? Must be because you called curt fat.

Id say that people are overhyping VK a little. I hope they do well, but predicting them to beat Ace is a bit nuts.

Edit: Predicting an upset over Ace is completely reasonable though.

People seem to think its ok to call him a rapist, which is not ok and really messed up.

Oh they would for sure. If this was Dapr VLR.gg would be burning down rn

I see a lot more than liquid fans putting them up there. If Jamppi, Scream, and Nivera all play well like they have been, their form has been insane lately, they are going to be really hard to beat.

Doesn't that mean in this hypothetical a NA team lost at some point to TL for them to get to the finals?

I would avoid calling him a rapist if it isn't what he did. Not only is it defaming it is ignorant to the people who were actually raped. Its not a term you throw around.

Insulting zombs is like punching a hornets nest. haha

Melee crowds are always on top.
