It has not been done, not at all tier 1 level like this and not by an organization by Barça. I don’t think people truly realize the difference between a top team like a Liverpool or a Bayern and an actual global rucking movement like Barça. The only sport team with similar pull is Madrid. Any other team is just not the same

This being said, I think we don’t agree. But I’m gonna try to make my point a little more clear.

1 I’m not saying football fans will start watching Valorant because Barça has a team. That’s just not realistic

2 I’m not saying they would have a bigger fanbase than Gentlemates, BBL or KOI. I’m saying the average Gentlemates and BBL fan would rather watch Barça than KOI. I’m saying the average BBL and KOI fan would rather watch Barça than Gentlemates. And the average Valorant fan would rather watch Barça than 90% of other Valorant teams that they’re not a fan of

They wouldn’t have a 100k viewer stream like Kameto, but people in general would care more, bigger engagement overall. Specially if they were somewhat decent

Well can’t say I didn’t call it xD

I was screaming for purpo flex all off season but there didn't seem to be any actual good duelists they could get. Should have just got a random turk

Idc what their results are, I refuse to think they were that bad, their roster is so much more than they showed

(This being said they're about to throw)

His Neon was insane in tier 2

Shit I've been way too disconnected lol. In my defense it hasn't been on VCL

Either way, he didn't get a chance when he was at his peak at KPI I don't think now is the time

Bisk is not playing rn

I mean soulcas did win Ascension, it wasn't just stats. I do not think Olizera would be better, I have a soft spot for Guardy but I'm not sure he is objectively better either.

My moves would honestly be Monster IGL in place of flyuh, and just fucking pray. (At least for next split if Monster has finished school)
Maybe ZachKappa in place of Filu or Guardy for soulcas, but idk

But either way, 2 of those changes at most at a time

ty

Is DVM out from Split 2? Or kicked out in general? Is the roster disbanding? What a way to throw the season

I agree not having a clear transition can be an issue. But from what I understand and at least in theory, the management is not only solid, it's very proven one with all the success MAD and MRS have had

Eh, I think you underestimate the gap between tier 1 and 2. Filu and soulcas were frying everyone on tier 2 last year and look at them. It's not that simple

That's because they are on a smaller stage. Many valorant fans probably don't even know it exists.

But think about it this way, if you're a neutral fan from APAC, Americas or even EMEA and you tune in on an EMEA game and you see Barça, you're likely a 1000 times more invested on what happens than if your see 80% of any other current EMEA org. Either to support or to hate, free narrative and engagement

Sure, they wouldn't have a solid fanbase to go to the arena and shit because they lack the esport tradition. But it would def attract more viewers than GX or Apeks or many many other orgs

I agree, although it's sad for Filu because he's not doing that bad

I fucking wish

They ain't even better than Koi Fenix brother

1 That is not how it works
2 Their management is already new and very good

Barça bundle would most sold skin ever. That's like the main benefit xD

Ties Fc?

Unfortunately he is the most likely to be replaced imo. Not because of his performance but because the academy duelist ZachKappa in the academy is kicking the door down

ex player law

It's crazy, they like play well until suddenly for no reason at all, they don't

That don't work against whatever black magic spell Madrid mfs use

They should close down DVM as a whole and give Sayonara back, thanks

They did just get 13-0d

Brother Trexx is NOT a mid rounder

Considering purpo was the bets player on that team, GX

your goat ain't getting picked up again any time soon

He’s already getting a huge bag, that’s why he isn’t already back

They replaced him for Magnum, so never

No, mods remove the stars

I agree but GX wanted a duelist, purpo hadn't played duelist in a while. Imagine you being a top tier 2 duelist and when someone is looking to replace theirs they choose your teammate to play your role. Must have been tough

I think purpo was the better choice because of the flexibility but I'm not sure Bisk would have been a worse duelist, I don't think so

Why does keznit look homeless

It's you who don't understand what I said. I'm saying you've already got 2 retired duelists, the 5th can be a retired something else, not necessarily a duelist because you already got 2 people that could do that

you're describing why they need to retire

Insert duelist player who needs to retire

you already got 2 of those no need for a third

His biggest chance passed when GX chose Purp0 over him

I like GE, I think they've done things well, I hope they do well

KOI looking real solid, might be the best team in Spain rn

You can argue if a change was needed or not, but once you made the choice, Serial is the right pick

If we're comparing him to kamyk? Is he better? Probably not rn, this is his 3rd month in a professional environment ever, give him time. That being said Serial's celling is way way higher. So I guess it depends on what TL wanted

calm, Serial is good

I do not think what I've seen from Jesse and D3mur was nowhere near tier1 level

no please don't, thanks

Brother we must not be watching the same game. That's literally his biggest strength

Avova is playing really well so far

Assist farming is crazy

Cap

Probably not if we're being realistic

KOI has one of the biggest fanbases in EMEA, Spanish people just don't use vlr. You won't find many TH or GX fans on here either

If they wanted fans in the arena they wouldn't have put it in Berlin and then not given slots to German teams. And even less put it on a weekday

It's not a ticket price issue. Fans have to travel to a different country on regular working day
