It's not as simple a situation as "LOUD has to match the salary that SEN offered Sacy and Pancada". Sacy and Pancada very clearly hold brazil dearly and they love their teammates. If LOUD had just offered a high enough salary that was higher than what they were being paid but not as high as SEN's offer I guarantee you Sacy and Pancada would've stayed with LOUD.

The issue here is that LOUD didn't evenn want to give Aspas a raise, and what's more, they prohibit him from hiring an agent to speak on his behalf. This is predatory at best and exploitative at worst

We're talking about a championship winning team that is being given free money by Riot as an official partner and which is unique among all other franchised teams in that it prohibits its players from hiring an agent to speak on their behalf. You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about.

LOUD was chosen specifically because they are not broke.

Scummy org that didnt want to compensate Sacy or pancada so they left to take SEN money; that should've been the first warning that they don't care about their players

aspas doesn't know english so no

Will you blame Aspas, Less, or LOUD as an org for not giving the best player of 2022-2023 a raise and being general scumbags regarding the entire roster's compensation?

Zest or MaKo

You won, but at what cost? what is this standard ass comp shit. you dont deserve it

I hope TL reverse sweeps

7/7

NRG winnning it all

Wait but what about my tips? Wait NAVI Why aren't you playing yoru

LETS GO NAVIIIIIIIIII

it's nont so much a 6+ mann roster though so much as an opportunity to get a place to replacements in case youi want to change things up mid season. Like think of Sentinels' situation for example

L

So apparently the rules for VCT 2024 are being changed a little to allow every VCT Partnered Team to partner up with a team in the Challengers circuit, which would allow them to use any of their players as subs throughout the entire season regardless of roster locks; in exchange, the VCT team (with its Riot money) will pay the challenger's players t2 salaries and if they do promote one as a sub they will have to pay them a franchising salary.

I actually really like this. For one, it's not mandatory, it's an option on the table for a lot of tier 2 teams who might be skeptical of the financial viability of pursuing valorant t2. It will keep a lot of teams around; especially in the case of another long off-season. Teams that are in desperate need of money will take it and teams that know their players are good enough to win the whole thing might not.

It will definitely keep a lot of teams circulating around t2 for sure. And it will also give t2 players a lot of chances to prove themselves on the big stage which is healthy for the ecosystem

People say they're doing well in scrims so im trusting that they're going to do better at Champs than they did at Tokyo

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAODONG

i think he means Marved at Reykjavik with makeup

Klaus during 2021 champs looked so good; also the glasses seal the look for him

olive

Gaia and Reaver clear

mfers thought a crimsonbeast jersey would look good :skull:

.

yeah honestly Masters and Champions feels like it has more stakes, ups and downs and the like because everyone can theoretically win it

fr the double standards on EDG for example is fucking absurd. they didnt even make that deep of a run

Champs 2022

brits wish they could afford beans this cheap

$0.89 per can. 300 calories, 9g of protein and 24g of carbs.

best food item in the game

The Guard is above Cloud9 and KRU but below NRG, EG, and LOUD (In their non troll mode)

hiiiiiiiiiiiiii

NAVI is the answer

He is the best in NA at his role. surely c9 aren't actually stupid enough to let go of him right?

Brazil vs North America. There's actual competition where both sides constantly get better and overtake the other

To be fair don't act like you've never smurfed before and gotten destroyed by a cracked gold.

It's hard to deal with people with genuinely no brain and all aim sometimes

Ty. all i spend money on is beans and gas and then play valorant; it saves me a lot of money

buying basic necessities at a supermarket =/= giving money to a millionaire streamer for nothing necessary in return

smthlikeyou11 is playing on his NA account again after all this time

...and this time he doesn't have have 180 ping

agreed; plus it's entertaining to watch

bro you're literally an NRG fan; your entire team has the ego of a blue lock character

-7in

wait i can't hear very well; what did he say?

bro have you learned nothing from who succeeds in competitive valorant these last two years.

I would pick up NiSMO and JonahP before I picked up Asuna and TenZ because they know hella flash lineups and how to set up their team better than anyone else and get the necessary info for their team to succeed.

If we're talking purely about who's a better player in this regard, Asuna fits into a tier 1 team a lot better than TenZ; he plays his role as a flash initiator incredibly well--although they both have issues with overheating. What's more, Asuna can play Kayo or skye depending on the map while TenZ can only play Kayo decently well.

ethos already thinks he on the team don't give him ideas

I looked at the Esports hub in the game launcher and under "Partnered Teams" BLG, FPX, and EDG show up. Does this mean they're officially partnered with Riot now or are they still just technical shoe-ins?

I guess Alfajer only proves your point doesn't it

Any t2 latam team hoping to make a name for themselves should be eyeing onur rn

Nah I'd go to Brazil for that one
