I will agree with you that Lev imo should focus on at least having a majority latam team considering their purpose "should" be to represent South America , But I think some of NA orgs should also try bringing in some latam players (obv the ones that speak english well at least) to truly be considered an "Americas" league it cant just be a one sided affair were all the SA orgs just end up getting NA players especially when there is clear talent in latam that can compete in Americas compared to some NA players that are still on the leage based on Nepotism ( fuck C9)

IMO the issue is really with C9 and EG not bringing up good t2 players specifically this year (like idk how Apoth ended up in the league). These two teams are obviously paying very low salaries compared to the other NA orgs + Lev. The fact that none of Oxygen, MxS, M80 players ended up in These two teams last year was criminal.

I can agree wit your China point but Pacific was by far the worst region during champs and wit Gen G core splitting up as well as PRX and DRX being mid at best it isnt looking that good.

Where is my goat Cauanzin going?

Gekko: N4rrate
Viper: Bang
Brim: zellsis
Fade: Johnqt
Raze: Zekken
imo based on RBH event Johnqt was playing fade and sova so I think hes just gonna flex the most.

Has C9 ever done anything wrong besides the low salary arguments (which imo as ong as their paying on time and doing the minimum at least there should be no reason to remove them)

if anything in the future C9 will likely just end up being a likely option for many T2 players who just want to be in T1 (regardless of salary) while the other T1 orgs are just gonnna pay more for top tier current talent and the absolute best of T2.

I mean based on my perspective Derke and N4rrate is a better trade compared to Saadhak and Less (currently)

Obviously the potential benefit of Saadhaks igling can fix many of KC’s issues but the rest of the pieces need to be announced.

Less could be problematic, I’m worried This Vitality “super team” will have internal issues and they just seem like their too serious.

So let me get this straight Americas has essentially lost all its current Brazilian Star talent:

Tuyz and Less potentially going to EMEA
Cauanzin idk what his situation is but I don’t know where he can go in Americas rn.
Saadhak (he’s basically Brazilian at this point ) moving to EMEA
Aspas (pacific?)
Sacy (retired)
Heat potentially won’t have a team (if I understood this post correctly since it seems Kru don’t want to keep him and Furia can’t afford buyout so I don’t know where bro gonna end up.

I thought he was still learning english so I didnt think he would join any team outside of Brazil atm.

Tenz is the Face of Global valorant, it doesnt matter if KK is more popular in China, What matters is the overall recognizability of players by the global audience in valorant as well as outside Valorant in other games not just one massive country. Most people who have never touched valorant will name Tenz over KK.

Imo the league should at least move to 14 teams, increasing the partners to 12 and still having 2 slots for ascension.

• One Brazil org (There is lots talent in Brazil (lukxo and sato my goats specifically, they just need to be given more opportunities but bc of current nepotism and poor talent scouting it makes the situation look worse)
  -One latam org (deserved imo based on results of Kru and Lev)
  -G2 replace EG

I would also like the league to occasionally hold an Americas event in BR (like all the teams travel for one month BR to compete for stage 2 kinda thing, I just need to see some lans be held in other countries at least once a year)

and we are back

This aint even funny no more

TSM deserve to lose this for how criminally they have played but somehow AK don’t fw winning

Yes they qualify if they win

Their not bad individually but the decision making is bottom of NA.

about that

We gotta keep coming back to this thread for every TSM throw (AKA every round)

s0m, nzr, Aspas, Less, King, Mazino, Kaplan

Lukxo and Sato are getting robbed bro put them on an actual team.

The ascent merchants are cooked when teams ban ascent? Who would have thought.

If icebox is picked I think Lev default win.

NA > EMEA
EMEA > Americas

The team that placed higher in champs will stay in the league while the other one is relegated to ascension.

I swear teams have no awareness at all of their opponents strong maps and just troll the veto completely.

Surely we understand it’s better to ban Ascent or Bind instead of Abyse and Haven.

Chill out lil bro we haven’t even seen the first and second seeds of Americas play yet (both favored to win their groups / At least make it out of them)

I do think Kru should beat BLG (but it’s kru in champs so I could see them lose)

Sen based of what I’ve seen are getting cooked by FPX.

They are obsessed with deadlock?

10 days to remove this bs of a comp and sen didn’t do shit. Gen G literally just running it down at B and the deadlock util is not doing anything.

Its so frustating that they had months to cook up a good comp and they came up with this deadlock bs
Literally they would have been better off just going back to default comps with Vipe in most maps
The team is lost like its insane how much value Leaf and Boostio got flanking cuz nobody is watching shit
Zekken is getting cooked bc of the new map pool
Abyse and Haven are Jett heavy maps and He's getting owned.

if you ignore madrid ya sure "EMEA best region"

So based on this power ranking G2 are winning Stage 2 according to you.

They need to win at least 3 of their remaining 4 games to to have a solid chance for playoffs, winning all 4 will guarantee them basiclaly.

Sorry bud this is the real script

It generally depends on which game is more popular in the region; Apex is a good example where NA completely stomps EU cuz the comp scene is better developed for that region, Cod and Halo are also good examples where EU is just not that well developed compared to NA. Dota and CS are obvious examples of EU dominating simply cause the games are not that popular in NA and the comp scene isnt as developed. There are exceptions of course to the popularity aspect but mostly its consistent.
