I think then riot would be working in the minus, no?

Not even in the same post tbh

The strongest Sexual Abuser of Today vs the strongest Sexual Abuser in history

go into X, click on the repost arrow, and see how close the Confirm repost button is to the repost, spoiler alert, it's directly in the same place. An accidental double click is realistic

given X's unique UI, Boo legit could have double clicked on pure accident and retweeted it

it's honestly sad when orgs just go for this neonish colour and minimalistic org and just wasting character. M80, NiP, MOUZ etc

xd

I feel like CS is more about raw skill than valorant. Less abilities, therefore more raw fights in 1v1. Donk is literally a god when it comes to equal 1v1 fights

Esports scene is the only thing going perfectly for cs. And 95% of it is without valve

Washed bums are people who sucked in tier 1, them getting signed is org suicide(like Real Madrid signing Antony instead of Mbappe). Also I am sure Angel could theoretically be a great coach, given that they fucked up with doombros

If they sign some washed bums, I am convinced they went the MIBR route and will use Riot Money to buy monesy for their CS lineup. If Angel is still there, then they run on nepotism and it's sad

Salaries? Org pays.
Relocation? Food pays.
Bootcamp? Org pays.
Newest equipment? Org pays.
Advertisment? Org pays.
Content, catering, all of this is on the org

Important factor is also if your friend studied or not for this event. If yes, -infinity aura, if no, lazy genius, some aura

Drillas are only for Shanghai major:(

It will probably

The leagues operate in a closed membership system and do not have promotion and relegation. It is organized in a way that assures the teams' continued existence in the league from year to year. On occasion a league may decide to grow by admitting a new expansion team into the league
you introducing relegation kills the entire purpose of franchising and thus makes vct just a leauge

it honestly is a tad bit boring because it is online, I liked Guardian's against Fnatic 1v5 in Katowice way more

in no way was it a throw
1st kill - no info, heroic called a fast A hit and gambit expected the guy in palace (didn't clear that position yet)
2nd kill - nafany peeks a low hp no armor player because he thought he didn't pick up the awp
3rd kill - interz literally gets wallbanged TWICE
4th kill - awp vs rifle, awp wins that 8/10 times

it's just crazy to me how people are so desperate to set clear who the goat is, yet their goat is likely to change next year :D
EDIT: I feel like the GOAT requires a strong team, a dinasty of sorts, without it he will never attain this status.

sorry to break it to you, most orgs you see operate in a minus on annual basis. I have seen some examples in other disciplines, pretty sure despite other settings in valorant, most of them are in the red.

'' if u spend good money your team will prolly make ascension''
running an org is always dealing with a minus, no matter how good you are, how big you are or how successful you are. Sentinels lost 8 million in 2022, faze had to find new owners, orgs like c9 and eg work on a budget. The fact that you suggest content creators who don't have a reliable income to spend the same as some other orgs is unsustainable for those creators

I mean I have seen some people say that it's esports winter rn, so who knows if some teams are willing to expand into other games

you talk about japanese orgs, but you can't really have all the japanese orgs take the place of GE and their copycats, who are just hanging around

still you have that 10 team limit tho

good idea, but then are you sure there will be orgs willing to enter vct?

I mean you could theoratically entertain relegation, buuuuuuuuuuut then the entire point of franchising is nullified

free rider problem is common in franchising leagues in other sports as well. Charlotte Hornets are just there, As in baseball are just there, closed league by default enables some orgs not to win or try to just earn as much as possible

I feel like navi's position is completely understandable, against war-supporting, not against people who want the war to stop. NaVi would allow their russian CS players to stay with the team as long as they wanted, they just didn't want to stick around in an english speaking roster, it was the player's decision. like imagine chronicle wants to join navi, if he is against the war in Ukraine and given that he likely lives somewhere in EU, I don't see a problem with him being in navi

of ukrainian origin

in the post, my autism prevented me from finding a fitting synonym so I just used quote.now I know that sentence makes the most sense

''If you cant perform good throughout the whole yearr, GOODBYE (d0rke)''
This quote is fucking hillarious knowing that the team retained a 9 avg kill demon

he should honestly get his bros xqc, krimbo, ohnepixel and woro2k to help himngl

I am sorry, what? War started on Feb 24th 2022, Franchising started in 2023? was the talk that early??

JL is the CS2 Major MVP, no?

C9, EG, Furia, MIBR, LOUD, is it over bros?

you can change it, not a gigantic problem tbh

who is the s1mple of the team?

How the fuck is half of Franchising American Orgs trying to run on economy????

I still remember being shocked that navi lost in katowice 2019 to fucking ence (imagine leviatan losing to trace not in the groups but in the semi final) and I still coped with the ''well at least they got more rounds'' :D https://www.hltv.org/matches/2331079/natus-vincere-vs-ence-iem-katowice-2019

Sources: MIBR's and Global Esports' VCT slots are set for reevaluation after the 2025 season. These aren't the only ones, as several other teams are also set to undergo similar reevaluations.

my favourite type of scoregami is when the winner of the series gets less rounds won than the loser

humanity landed on mars, gta 7 was released, cure to cancer was found, global warming was stopped, cs and val fans still argue in youtube shorts comments over anti cheat and replay system still missing

would be mad funny tho

Is it possible that the POVs we see during broadcast are just OBS recordings of the game :D

honestly, fuck franchising, so many talents but just not enough slots

There is some franchise drama happening, if you want more action you can watch other games as well. If you are into 5v5 fps then you can try watching EPL for CS, like 3-4 games every day I believe

Riot are allergic to a replay system. Valve are allergic to an anti cheat and the number 3

I mean in russian speaking europe people just treat Valo as just another game, like Rocket League or Fortnite. CIS has a pipeline of young talents just following one another

It's in EU/Ru

I mean it isn't sadly, navi would get fucked in Ukraine by the entire media
