Idk about total fanbase but Mixwell's is the most loyal and valorant implicated. The other 3 orgs have fans combined with other games and some are just fans of the streamers, OTK is all valorant which is very unique

Yes they are, 1 game away from climbing their way from tier 4 to tier 3 to tier 2

Fair ig

I don't understand what VIT wins by picking them up then? If they don't have a contract is just giving away free money? The whole point of academy is having the player. Idk I'm not informed enough IG
If DVM came back would be crazy tho, they should be gone

1 year I mean until the end of the year, not 365 days bro. 1 months contracts are rare

I feel like if either of the 2 made their own org it would have stronger support, not more fans, but more loyal and implicated ones. The feeling of belonging for a smaller org is bigger, it feels like your support matters more

It's not a contract jail, it's a 1 year contract, 1 split is weird, but sure, maybe

Sure but I doubt he has a 1 split contract, he probably does until the end of the year. VIT won't wanna let him go for free to reinforce a rival

He's talking about Otakar, Mixwell's org, very popular. Most people have realized that recently because of this thread https://www.vlr.gg/492028/melilla-titans-vs-otakar-esports-liga-radiante-season-11-gf

Is shin FA or something? Because signing from VIT can't be easy

Because every single Mixwell fan is a Valorant fan and that is very unique in Valorant orgs. You can watch a streamer and want his team to do well but you may not actually be a fan of the game and you're not gonna follow it as much

If Tarik or Tenz made an org they would have similar pull. Not sure NA has a tier 4 and 3 circuit to make the transition like OTK or if they would just have to do VCL directly

xD
No he can't unless Stroll crashes onto the other top 10 mfs. He's way too old and he might aswell be riding a bike

Carlos has a better chances but still no. That's why I'll watch the goat Marquez instead

1 No, give me 1 reason why it would be absolutely any different from how it works in any other sport. Rookies are supposed to get special advantages so they don't fucking suck? Then maybe they're just not ready yet? You can tell when a rookie is good and when one isn't. Does Bortoleto have a good car? No. Does he suck? No. I don't see how that's an issue AT ALL.

Matter of fact I would argue the complete opposite, if there is no car development, there is no need to car testing limitations and they could put in as many hours as they wanted to get up to speed with an F1 car

2 No, it would make races 10 times more entreating and competitive, try watching any other category where cars are closer to each other, the spectacle is much much better.

F1 rn does not favor competition. Giving the best riders the best cars is like if in Tennis I look at the ATP ranking and just say, "I'm gonna have the higher seed of every game a 1-0 start in sets". Great, a sport with absolutely no upsets at all that doesn't allow you to climb organically and forces the same match ups over and over again. How amazing

3 Yes, it would def ruin innovation. And that's why I said this is optional and not necessarily the way, it would make racing 100% better, that is my argument. But it does definitely break the spirit of F1. Which is why I understand if someone doesn't want it

you would just guarantee the domination of drivers like verstappen, leclerc, hamilton and alonso

I would guarantee the better driver wins? How tf is that an issue? Getting beaten by a worse driver than you and not being able to do anything about it fucking sucks. It's also literally how every other sport in the world works, you want rookies to be winning races? If they don't deserve it why would they? Athletes at their peak are better than rookies in all sports, that's literally how it's supposed to be, not the other way around

Well there is still who has better pilots and better strategy which is still a very big part of it. Sauber ain't beating RedBull regardless of what car they're driving.

But yeah you take away the car development part which people may not like which is why I said it breaks the spirit of the competition. Either way it does have it's advantages, F1 is becoming unnecessarily over expensive, that would significantly fix that problem

You can barely tell from the car is going at 300km/h or 400km/h, I want good races not fast cars

It would ruin everything that is not related to the actual racing on the track. But it would fix the actual racing. But Ig F1 is a lot more than just racing rn. Not sure if that's good ro bad, depends who you ask Ig

yeah like they do in cycling. It's not really racing tho

There's only 1 fix and it's not with the circuits it's in the cars, they need to be smaller 100%. You can also think about having equal cars, but I understand that breaks the spirit of the competition

I doubt it would changing either of those 2 would affect as much, at the end of the day it’s a target audience you’re already covering. Bstrd had all of latam suporting them, not gonna be the case anymore

So they do shit in Split 1, decide to keep Itopata, allow him to make roster changes, you lose a qualifier 2 weeks into the new project and you bench him? Sounds like a mess

Fair enough although he's been asked that question and answered he would play for Spain (Tbf spanish people asked so maybe not the best)

But it's okay just do Saiz instead. We beat Italy at the very least

half and half according to what Seangares showed

Not really, they just need to face other chokers like PRX

toronto bro

Split 2 in July Ig xD

Their games weren't on vlr for the past couple months playing in tier 4, now that they are it's gonna be like this

Probably something like

Michel duelist
Guardy flex
Fitinho Ini
Ease/Quick IGL smokes
Kiles Senti

At our peak with 5 players at Ascension and we ain't even make it

Ik, but VIT was still paying him a bunch of money even after he left and went to TH, they promised him so much but the team flopped and they still had to pay him

Yeah that’s just how VIT works, is what they do. But surprisingly enough, for the most part their superteams tend to flop, but when they do hit you get amazing results like in Cs

But I mean when it goes wrong it goes really wrong, I don’t know if they still pay Perkz but they were literally paying him millions years after he had already left the team which is crazy for example

You could technically watch were they placed util like 1 or 2 rounds ago yeah

Cracked young rookies that choke?

Really? Then starki needs to be picked up asap, Zeek can IGL too tho, but even if not he is done more than enough merits

And he IGLs is extremely valuable. However he has always been this good, the reason he is not on tier 1 is not gameplay related. It will be a matter of what perception teams have of him now. Honestly I think he has paid he's dues and earned it already but it's risky

If Inter wins the final he definitely can. If PSG win I think Demebele's case is stronger. That being said, it's purely because of the production and results, Lamine is the best player in the world and it ain't close

EP are very toxic in scrims and stuff too apparently

brother is he your cousin or something

No Comeback Loita Larok are all the same age, just different months. If Loita was 16 now it would mean he was 15 last year and you need to be 16 to play in VCL.

Loita turns 18 the 24th of September

They weren't nearly as good as they are now. They were 16 year olds at the end of the day, a year makes a big difference

He is the biggest Spanish/latin figure in Valorant, is he insanely charismatic? Not exactly no, he's a good content creator tho. Why is Tenz the biggest figure for the English speaking? It's hard to explain Ig. Mixwell did a very good job of building his brand even while playing and it paid off.

It's a streamer org but it's a situation, it's not nearly as big as other streamer orgs like BBL KC M8 KOI etc, but it's a Valorant built fanbase. A KC fan might watch Valorant because of Kameto but doesn't have to be a Valorant fan, all Mixwell fans are Valorant fans and that is a very unique kind of fanbase

Rose is 21 Crewen 20 and the other 3 are 17 turning 18 this year. Comeback is the only one that turns 18 before split 2

I think they're just upset in general for that replayed game and honestly fair

Imo they're bellow TH/FNC and above NAVI, somewhere close to BBL/TL/KC/FUT tier

Yeah that's kind of what I was expecting. Average tier 1 firepower with top tier flexibility and comms. It turned out to be top tier firepower with top tier flexibility and comms

Not really, most of the time the VCL team is gonna win anyway, that's how it's been historically, no way in hell any of the upcoming teams beat Barça, they have a chance against KPI

what team is KPI even playing with? Same as last split or did they make changes?

Nah plenty of players with VISA issues get picked up. He didn’t try out for that many orgs, I think he wasn’t pretty close from KC the previous year but that’s it.

He wasn’t a big tier 2 name at all, if you to the post when it’s leaked by anonimotum, most people have no idea who he is

I was calling for Avez VCT when not a lot of people were last year, I really believed he was ready. However I don’t think even his biggest fan could have predicted what he’s doing. This mfs has been dropping 30 per map for a good while now it’s insane
