went from simping for PRX to beating them
must be feeling really good rn
redgar needs to be on a russian speaking team to be good
Enzo > Redgar
Sayf > Keiko (but not really by much, Keiko is still really good)
2024 chemistry > 2023 chemistry
this roster is probably gonna be 2nd in the league and a contender at internationals
cant be caught liking an EMEA team
cope my aussie friend, Liquid going far under his leadership
NGL gonna silently root for this guy going forward
would it just be any 5 players or would they be role locked, or can someone just pick Derke, Demon1, Something, Aspas, Jinggg
how does a fantasy league work? I could maybe make something work
she was in tier 1 technically back in 2021
do this without .
./changenicknamevlrgg0(username:(your riot username) password:(your riot password) Simp4t0nz
you are welcome
wat i thought nadeshot was ceo of gentlem8s
at this point I wouldn't be surprised if the government of Rwanda sponsored their own esports team
they were good in champs but like I was expecting a lot more from them. they looked inches away from being the best team in the world at lock-in, in a whole different league than everyone else alongside fnatic
I mean it still took EG a little bit before taking off. Even with Demon1 they lost to LOUD and NRG in Americas playoffs
but i see your point tho
A. Dominate the early season and look unstoppable, but fall off during the latter half of the year; i.e. Cloud9 and LOUD
B. Play like shit during the early season but stomp during the latter half of the year; i.e. EG and PRX
ngl you lost me after the 9th "limit"
there isn't any north african teams in VCT bro riot scammed us EMEA is still basically EU.
Typical Spaniards, taking those spots for themselves
AGAINST CIRCUMSTANCE, MEL DID IT!!!!
Challengers next!!!
With female/other player-bases, moving towards a co-ed t1 ecosystem requires riot to address one prevailing issue:
There's significantly fewer female/other players attempting to go pro in valorant than men
(For the simplicity of statistics, I'll only refer to Men and Women for now)
If, out of an average of 100 players trying to go pro, 50 were men and 50 were women, then there would already be co-ed teams in tier 2 and tier 1, just from climbing up the ladder through conventional means. Assuming only 2 of those 100 people even manage to scratch the surface of pro-play, then on average 1 would be a guy and 1 would be a girl.
However, that is not the case, and if you imagine the real ratio of men to women trying to go pro, then it's not surprising to find out that men are overwhelmingly more likely to become pros as a result; i.e. out of those 100 players, assuming a 90/10 split, then that's a <1% chance of either of those two players who break into pro-play being women.
GC serves two purposes:
To promote esports among the existing female/other playerbases by providing them a stable ecosystem to play for a living. Esports in general is not exactly the most stable career choice to begin with; many women among other marginalized genders are reluctant to pursue Esports because not only is there no precedent of someone like them making it to the top, but even among the top there's barely any financial stability. By making them salaried professionals, GC allows female/other players to have hope of being paid to play video games one day aside from VCT. As a result, this ends up producing more female/other players in general that attempt to grind through the ranks to achieve that, thereby increasing the amount of women/others trying to go pro, and in turn moving that magical ratio to the ideal 50/50 split of men to women aspiring to be pro players.
Develop existing talent to artificially boost the chances of a female/other player making it into tier 2 or VCT; it acts as a safety net that provides female/other players with more chances to prove themselves in professional environments whereas in the conventional tier 3 ladder they may have screwed up their only chance (tier 2 open qualifiers) or been dropped by their team for bad performance and never given an chance to improve. It's not like they're mutually exclusive either, V1/SR is always playing in Tier 3 whenever possible, from Knights weeklies to NACL open qualifiers. They aren't "stuck" in GC or "not trying to get out of the kiddie pool"
the existence of a kiddie pool does not make one incapable of learning to swim in a deeper pool
the existence of a pool does not make one incapable of learning to swim in a lake
the existence of a lake does not make one incapable of learning to swim in the sea.
Gradual development only makes the process easier.
that would legitimately be a pretty funny stat to put out there
bro the type to think dumping a baby into the ocean is the best way to teach it to swim
I won't say who, but one of you with a French flag is secretly German.
played frankfurt unrated with him its true
play yoru in the grand finals
you know you want to
Yoru is a good replacement for jett on ascent
ill never forget what he did to FNS on match point at Lockin
2023 PRX is 2021 Dplus and you can't tell me otherwise
ok bro that's enough ohnepixel vods for you
why is it that in every esport there's always one mfer called Zeus
why is this such a common IGN
Sadly BLEED's oil money is too strong
I will say, Governor is a really solid duelist even among NA prospects. He'll definitely surprise with his performance, but it won't be enough to really justify picking him over other prospects in KR.
For reference, he got kicked out of his team for the NA open qualifiers to the challengers league, joined a completely new F/A team with no practice with them and qualified them.
TTR was keeping up with the upper echelon of NA Challengers despite not having an org or a coach to guide them.
In terms of Duelists I'd give him an A to A+ rating
I hope Asia and NA rise to the top and the cocky Europeans get left behind
is stew basically the valorant version of Khan?
