How does it fully work? And what is it based on?

Is it as simple as a team is only allowed 1 import no matter when they got imported? Or is it like if you imported a player during the 23/24 season, would you be allowed to import another player during the 24/25 season? Also. If another team imported a player, then that said player was dropped at the end of the season. would that player still be classified as an import or not? (e.g. Would Team Vitality be able to pick up saadhak if KC let him go? Whilst having Less on the team?)

ofc it is? its a post about potential team upgrades. I basically revamped every team in EMEA which is unrealisitic.

Graveyard Keeper

I mean dont get me wrong. I think Boaster is the GOAT igl, but hes currently lowest rated player in EMEA, been playing for a long time, and could possibly retire if they fail to win champs. Even if they win champs id have it 60/40 on Boaster retiring. nAts obviously role wise wouldn't work rn, but like you said itd be possible to change each players roles. Especially if you have Alfajer and Chronicle 2 insane Flex players. You could definitely make it work.

(Also I have boaster before nats "Boaster/Nats" which means id rather have boaster over nats atm)

thats why i put him 2nd after Ara

Fnatic:
-Kaajak
-Chronicle
-Alfajer
-Boaster/Nats
-Crashies/Riens

Team Liquid:
-nAts (GOAT)
-Trexx
-Keiko
-Patitek/Woot/Flickless
-Kamo/Comeback
(tbh TL could stay together)

Team Heretics:
-Benjyfishy
-Woot
-Reins
-Minny (Takeover Boo's Role)
-Comeback/Alexiiik (Promising, former teammates)

Navi:
-Ruxic
-Hiro
-Alexiiik/Comeback
-UNFAKE/Cloud
-Patitek/Flickless (Had no idea what to do here)

Karmine Corp:
-Marteen (would be 2nd duelist & 2nd smokes)
-Suygetsu
-Cloud/Redgar (IGL)
-Magnum/Rexxtoned
-Alexiiik? (KC is truly cooked. idk who to pick)

Team Vitality:
-Less (saw a tweet saying he was staying till end of contract) (senti/2nd smoke)
-Sayonara (Flex? or support instead of recon)
-Derke (duelist)
-UNFAKE (recon/igl)
-Suygetsu/Sayf (main smokes. Sayf works better for double duelist meta)

BBL:
-Jamppi
-LewN
-Magnum
-Profek/Loita?
-Kamyk/Batujnax/Yetujey? (dont know if yetujey is possible tbh)

Giantx:
-Cloud
-Flickless
-Ara/Miniboo
-Monsteerr
-Suygetsu/BaddyG/Profek

FUT:
-Xeus/Comeback
-Yetujey
-qRaxs/Batujnax (I dont get FUT. Individually good, but are bad... I just gave up. You could put Woot or alfa but thats just unrealisitic and no BBL PCIFIC player would come surely.)
-cNed
-MrFaliN

KOI:
-Monsteerr
-Ara/Filu
-Boo/Profek/Grubinho
-Veqaj/Molsi
-KovaQ/Batujnax

Tried to only use t1 players, as I couldn't be bothered looking through all the EMEA T2 circuits for players. Ended up using some t2 players I knew already. I was so cooked that I had done upgrades for both Apeks & M8 who were relegated.

used to use razer cortex when i had a deathadder, which showed it, i had like 1.5k in 2023 but on val tracker my total game time is like 1.2 or 1.5k i think.

surely 950hrs since 2020 aint that insane, got like 1.2-1.5k in val since 2021

yeah, ive got like 1k in total

not really. ive spent 15hrs on it once. that might be because ive got adhd though.

Rimworld

First thing I ever watched about valorant was the grand final of Reykjavik 2021. Saw how close it was and that they were EMEA so I started supporting them, but they didnt make Berlin and so i became a gambit enjoyer after watching Sheydos vs 100T, then saw nAts vs G2 icebox (also the comeback against VKS was insane). M3C eventually disbanded and chronicle went to FNC so I became a FNC enjoyer again.

Leo might be gone sadge

I've somehow went 4/5 in every single week of EMEA so far... How are your guys pickems

i reckon scotland

im not disagreeing with ur point about donk rather im disagreeing with ur point about cs being a much more demanding game. Thats just straight wrong. You cant compete against a BR that constantly changes.

how the hell is a game that doesnt change majorly unless its a map rotation more demanding than a BR that relies on RNG?

if it wasnt for potter and boostio currently not on a team id keep NaturE

youre telling me demon1 who literally stood on a table after winning went from that to being pretty ass hasnt gotten a reality check? Same could be said about boostio, who literally was trash talking majority teams in vct then ended up losing to them.

same could be said about boostio and demon1 tbh. both looking for redemption, probably wont be asking for too much cause they've not proved that they are worth it and EG can just grab some t2 talent for much cheaper.

-supamen
-NaturE
-icy

+Demon1
+Verno
+Boostio

ill take a nAts 2025 world champion

i think something has to be in the team tbh. looking amazing rn.

you wouldnt really need redgar though. nats is doing a good job at IGLing allowing for more firepower on the team.

shao and chronicle could be a bit awkward cause they are basically the same player, so just mentioned trexx for recon purposes. but chronicle could easily play recon instead of support and allow shao to be support

nAts
Suygetsu
Something
Shao
Chronicle

could go trexx instead of shao

Americas fans no doubt

How the hell did a 1000 people choose APEKS to win

sheydos

Here. We. Go!

Fuck it. alfa on smokes do a tenz

Check twitter

Do you guys reckon Leo gets to play at EWC to ease back in?

KEKW

This is looking exactly like EG's run in 2023. FNC winning champs baby. GG's PRX.

icebox -
ascent -
sunset + (PRX) 13-8 prx
split + (FNC) 16-14 fnc
lotus + (PRX) 14-12 prx
haven + (FNC) 13-10 fnc
pearl (remains) 14-12 fnc

3-2 FNC

(I think its obvious prx ban haven instead of icebox, but would be very funny to see them choose into haven as fnc looked meh on it)

then in off season we got beat 13 2 by that same team on bind? obviously without crashies, but still if they were so good at bind they wouldnt be perma banning it in kick off and losing 13 2 in off season.

historically being a key word. recently we've been shit.

fnc were perma banning bind so wouldnt be confident that their bind is good.

depends on veto tbh, both teams perma ban haven, so either it gets played or 1 team bans it and the other bans the others best map.

i mean its fnc and g2s permabans, so most likely they will be banned.

fnc have dominated lotus throughout stage 1 except the loss against heretics. plus g2 has looked scrappy on lotus in the past. also no way fnc dont play icebox, i feel like that map has to be played. (also think that g2 will allow sunset through cause how bad fnc has looked on it, plus fnc dont even know what g2 will play comp wise)

i would say its average

European, and an NRG fan. It completely matches them.

fnc BAN Pearl, g2 BAN Lotus, fnc PICK Icebox, g2 PICK Haven, fnc BAN Sunset, g2 BAN Ascent, Split remains

edit: probably would switch ascent and lotus or g2 bans sunset first instead of fnc.

3/4 had TH over PRX

It was just an idea that I came up with based on a hypothetical scenario that hasn't even happened yet? Put Sheydos on a good team and put him back on his roles, and also put him with an IGL hes played with before. Most likely he would do good on that team.

There is most definitely a chance. BBL aren't that bad. I don't think they will do good in an international. But they are more than capable to make it to one. Liquid coming off a loss like that destroys morale, and it also causes pressure to build up.

I actually wonder how Serial got picked. I liked him in T2, but his roles were literally just the same as nats, whereas other players in TL academy were actually good throughout T2 played the roles that serial was swapped to :/
