Real thom???

Thanks, this should be in the article as without this info it doesn't seem to make any sense at all

apparently his contract with Acend still stands and KOI is waiting until it expires soon.
That's why they've announced 4 players not 5

He still has it, check his Twitter
It's G2 LFT OXY now

Factual statement

Isn't the whole point of the tournament that it boasts the "home ground" format for quarter/semi/grands?
As in if you are 2-0 up (so you won your and your opponents map pick ("home ground") you win, but if it's 1-1 it becomes a BO5?
That's at least how it was last year

Unfortunately Skye is doomed for EP 6 as they're taking away her two actual viable maps, bind and breeze

fair enough, thanks for clarifying!
I'd understand a fine or smth but suspended for the finals is just sad tbh :(

For anyone asking what he did, it's just a middle finger towards C9...
Literally what Derke, Boaster, Nukkye and so many others did before without any consequence

thanks everyone for the clarification :)

Can anyone tell me what "Godsquad" stands for with GE?
I saw it earlier in other tournaments too but never knew what it meant.
I guess it's to describe what players from the roster will play?
If so who is playing?

BCJ WWWWW

Interested to see how this roster meshes with the all-french speaking players!

Idk if the article got edited, but it literally says Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia.
Also Team Spirit never has been punished like Virtus.Pro and Gambit have, idk why but there's probs a good reason for it. Anyways it would make sense for Spirit to join now with the 2023 season

they said they will get more staff in their announcement video, just hasn't been announced yet who that will be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhnP2b12pHQ&t=319s

Expect the expected I guess 😹

Why does everyone think Sacy was IGL for Loud? He wasn't, saadhak was.

is wronski a OCE resident now? I thought he was from Laos

fair enough. ig we'll never know for sure unless someone actually leaks it (like an org or riot employee)

we don't really know for sure, but according to dot esports leviatan actually took G2's spot

Started during the first week of closed beta (the moment I got my hands on a key)
Don't remember what I placed at, but the earliest footage I found was in Gold (still beta), and ended plat in beta. never dropped below that, current Asc3

Sickkkkkkk

Trinity Trials Fall Split mentioned W

oh didn't know, thanks for clearing that up, still seems like a goated coach though

not sure tbh he left kru which was the best at the time (btw coach diff he joins lev and they're insta super good I love it)

So so well deserved. I hope Brazilian teams can learn from the composure and how well LOUD plays together (and rare overheats).
As it stands Brazil is still a one team region but I want that to be different next year!
GGWP LOUD and Brazil! Very deserved!
Again not hating, it's just y'know second Brazil seed gets last place and first seed wins the tourney y'know, same with Korea is also one team region I wanna see more competition from the regions internally!

Nobody, leave him in the dark

Paura back to heretics? Feels like 2020 all over again sheesh

I believe the roster lock for franchising teams is already in less than a month so yeah it's happening

Zyppan saved Riot's bums by carrying OT fr

???

I like what you did there

W fun facts

yes but navi is doing what they think helps for their own moral, as a ukrainian I think you understand that right?

Yeah the reason they don't want Russian players is because the tax money from their contract would go to Russia, indirectly fueling the war.
If they relocate to somewhere else, the tax money doesn't go to Russia.

PICKEMS GOING STRONG RN

You do realise valorant's franchising is not called franchising for a reason right.
Instead of having to buy the slot, Riot gives the orgs money along with the slot.
It's more about what the org can offer the T1 scene, which won't be enough for V1 compared to other NA orgs

an
era
:(

ok thanks

Gaming

legitimate question: how are you supposed to pronounce zmjjkk

rent-free

Of

I don't think that'll happen until nats is done with uni

The

same idk why ppl are downvoting solsolid, they've done it so many times before...
kru is inconsistent but when they have a good day, they're an incredible upset team

They put Kru against FPX though

W

The amount of damage is based off of the base damage of the gun, f.a. 40 for a vandal.
After that the headshot/legshot multiplier is added among other things like falloff distance etc.
The legshot multiplier is 0.85, so with the base damage of for example Jett ult being 50, that means you'll do 42.5 (probably rounded off to 43) damage if you hit them in the legs instead of 50 before this update.
