I had a hot take and got downvotes tf out of :(
okay but is there anything for me to fix
oh :(
i wanted to try
glad u fixed it!!
Can you press the code icon and send it again
Nah coach is the most important in ranked trust
agreed, everyone agrees its bad but still does it
Omen is objectively a better duelist than jett on attack
:3
TOTAL SCORE: 4.4/8
----------------CURRENT LEADERBOARD----------------
Yea fair point
Imo top 4 could be interchangeable depending on what you value
Tbf most people say NV/Optic/NRG
They also had Chet so 4 core members
there is enough talent in NA+SA to make good teams imho
not really tbh. I know the Tier 2 scene in brazil is worse than NA, and I can confidently say NA tier 2 talent pool is strong, but I am not confident in 25 players over the age of 18 being Tier 1 worthy.
if players know they have a path to T1 they are more willing to grind and be better and it's more attractive to talent.
this can be true but there's not really any data to back it up. A lot of players just grind because of passion tbh, but it is true that more people would attempt to go pro if the scene was more stable and viable. That being said, this isn't meaning players would get paid more; assuming investment in the scene stays at a similar level, better tier players would get paid less or (if league minimum wasn't a thing) new players would get paid close to nothing, meaning the average salary would drop and the scene would be even less stable.
I also want to add in here that I believe this would disincentive investment into the esport, which should be 100% priority over this. Currently, you are competing against 47 other teams for an international title, but with this change, you would be competing against 59 other teams increasing competition. If competition goes up, profitable and investment goes down.
ESPECIALLY for Brazil + LATAM. FURIA, LOUD, MiBR are established so that's 15 slots only for players. 2g is ascended and an option but iffy.
You gotta remember all of brazil was dead last at the end of last season. A lower amount of teams increases the short term performance of a region by condensing top talent, and if brazil struggles with this currently this would just make brazil suffer much much more than if top talent spreads out. (I will say there is potential for it to incentivize future talent to grow, however I believe spreading out the talent by 3x would outdo the potential talent growth. Anyways, Tier 1 shouldn't be a place for talent growth, a better solution is to better invest and manage Tier 2).
LEV is almost fully american now
I think this just proves my earlier point, NA is stronger currently and it made sense for LEV to use an NA roster. We shouldn't give more slots to a weaker region.
5 is an odd number sure but they could still make it work and honestly
No. We'd have swiss stages at every international, 5 groups at champs, it'd be a whole mess. Unless you have a REALLY strong way around it we're just gonna have 2024 kickoff again at every international. This and the increased competition for investors are the 2 biggest problems with it
playerbase ≠ talent pool 30-40% of valorant players are women (old ahh study ik) but there is only 1 player who identifies as a woman in tier 1. External factors need to be considered like social barriers, cultural acceptance of esports, and disposable income. Looking at talent pool is way better than looking at playerbase metrics
Okay but 5 is an odd number and idk if there is enough talent for that
Twitter and Reddit do NOT speak for us
2nd most upvoted comment here was ch0t
Fresh off the boat, from reddit, kid? heh I remember when I was just like you. Braindead. Lemme give you a tip so you can make it in this cyber sanctuary: never make jokes like that. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on VLR by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox reddit friends would upvote. This ain't reddit, kid. This is VLR. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with.
Thank god a post titled reduxx actually talking about him
Who was saying M80 was gonna improve because if this?
They do not speak for us
also can't do shit when your duelist is not performing
I mean to be fair he put his duelist on waylay
Everyone plays at their own place, some people have busy jobs and can only play once a month and others don’t find joy in improving and find their own version of success by having fun at their current skill level
At the end of the day, it’s just a game and you shouldn’t let someone tell you how to find your enjoyment from video games ❤️
Shhhh if we keep hating on demon1 there a possibility he goes to eg
Also fun fact average Rating2.0 is 1.05 btw iirc
For 2026:
Demon1 - no shot any other Tier 1 team is gonna want him (if he keeps up this performance)
Ethan - NRG is going to do a bad bad and prob kick him
Boostio - Nadeshot gonna get pissed and kick him
Zikz - Nadeshot gonna get pissed and kick him
+2 tier 2 talent or current roster. I’d go with Bob and kess for bobs duelist flexibility (can be main duelist but swap off for Jett demon1) and Kess for main recon
You litteraly made ur account before mine </3
if anything ur the old gen
