Real names are getting boring. Give me more AsLanM4shadoW

It's a theater crowd. They just come to watch the sport, not to support the team

you have to wait 7 games for the crowd to finally get active?

Asuna, JonahP, Genghsta, jcStani, Dicey would be close

banger match vs all-time Immortals

yea surely its not the 0-10 jett thats more problematic

HUH

what happened to V1 man

Virtuoso away always difficult

healthy only in EU yea

LOUD fan complaining about no underdogs

The Guard is more an example for franchising, then against it. A rich org coming up out of nowhere joining when franchise plans were very close to confirmed. XSET have like Swae Lee backing, so they're not small but only founded not even 2 years ago.

1 match upset is not really what i meant, the chances of them actually making groups are close to 0. Did they do that in 2020 they would've been picked up by an org, so the trend is already massively in favour for big teams.

Isn't it better for smaller teams to have teams in a franchise (ie get more money) so they can sell their players for more. It's not like we see f/a teams go far in this system or get picked up as a 5 stack anyway. That was only part of the early days of the competition.

But it would be nice if there is a way, like EMEA qualifier now where the worst performing team can get dropped & a good performer from lower level can join since the franchise won't be based high on buy in's.

Not enough good danes in valorant yet

Same, he is my favourite player. But since LCQ it's been so inconsistent. And of course thats part of the support flex role, but he used to be carrying GenG

yea contracts for venue are probably signed year in advance

Almost choked Bind up big again

Look at this man, no region comes close

Cant believe im posting this in a match thread against Lenny Time…

If you lose this are you done for the whole year?

ever since they swapped the coach its been downhill

what drugs is thief on today

ZMM with the double upset

optic>>

Yea theyre pretty good in league. But still behind T1, so seeing them less valuable was surprising

Didnt expect Gen G to be so high

better then watching another boring ranked grinder or T2 pro

I remember him from a jcStani stream last year that was so funny, good to see him blow up now

Not even bald we got scammed

0 "upsets"? Havent you followed the last 3 open quals

First good move by OG in valorant. Probably made this decision to lock in franchise spot

bo1 has so much fluke potential with 1 map. But i guess over 18 matches it evens out

oh bo1 thats kinda cringe

18 match days wtf

Org of a big streamer like KOI and Fokus

isnt that what's he is going to do anyway, not like he has a choice

Mid roster, but its French VLR so they probably have a chance to win

Rich dinosaur

Aint kroenke owner of the Guard

Its just investment. 9/10 of sporters/artists that invest in it dont care about esports. But its nice to see guys like De Gea, Demiral, Bale have their own orgs

Basically named them all

No. But expecting a 34 year old to still be the best every week is kinda dumb. 50m who cares, arab money anyways

Let me make some calls

Yea its a proven competitive (even though no relegation) concept, which is good for getting big money in a sport. And you kinda have to do that in esports, its hard to make a Bundesliga for Valorant or others when there aren't enough orgs for a full ecosystem

Controller with square smokes

its shits because of the game, Americans love franchises. All their big sports are franchised for years

Having a women and academy team is definitely plus for Riot

Time for Bobovo, the ultimate flex

With some luck and trust in jcSexy

He has been the most consistent top flex in NA for months. Only against LG had a bad game
