Pretty much, the ruling basically is that one org can't have multiple teams competing in vct (with an exclusion for team with a male and female team). As China is not yet integrated into the vct system they are perfectly fine both having a Chinese team and an emea team

I believe aswell in emea Rix had rCk for a while and some angry titans players like phatt, Epzz, Jona, brussen and Afoxx. Some brazil guys like addicted and coach mowzassa. Gambit coach engh was a player team winstrike in overwatch. Tviq who played for OG. Bromas on heretics. Lateks coach of giants. And probably more Apac players but the ones I can remember are samuraiD, Persia, signed.
And some other ones just looking down the players list on liquipedia; sharyk, grego, buds, leodeddz dafran.
So yeah quite a few tbh

Shout out to Pati. The move back to Overwatch seems to be going pretty well for him, just took home his 1st stage title with the Gladiators.

Just to add on I believe they also have a similar operational deal with the Seattle surge in CDL to manage that team. Which honestly with big orgs getting behind franchising is probably a very profitable and much less risky way of running an esports organisation

Another prominent reason for this move is the financial situation regarding LG and their parents company. They are pretty in the hole right now from a financial stand point are are likely looking to cut costs where possible and focus there resources on other ventuers (e.g. the role the have managing the operation of the Vancouver titans in OWL where they don't pay the wages instead they're payed to manage the franchise). It's highly likely in an unstable new market like valorant with a consistently middling team the risk to reward ratio wasn't in a place worth justifying the amount the roster contributed to there falling financial situation

I mean, sign a short term contract to have them play under your org for LCQ is probably not the worst. Gives you a free entry to arguably the most important NA event of the year (assuming they try again for lan) with very little commitment or investment. Honestly for some orgs it's probably not the worst decision they could make if they want to get a slice of valorant hype before franchising hits

Geez mate, your really going to make me narrow it down.

There's the divinity of a Bunning snag
The flavour explosion of fairy bread
The greatest combo of a chocky oak and a servo pie
But I reckon it has to go to the solution to all of lifes problems. A KFC zinger box

Right now, kind of torn between my love for cone and my love for watching whz just farm stats, guy has an average all time acs of like 280. Would love to see him on a proper stage.

Riot need to hurry up and release the game in China tbh

I mean the underground Chinese valorant scene does have some stuff to work on. Mainly getting the game released there tbh

You gotta shout out gumba though, single best esports tallent scout going around. The number of gems he discovered for immortals (and I guess his history of excellent coaching in OW) his name has to go in the ring

Volvo, it's a Swedish word meaning unbreakable and a synonym for tank

Hmmm if only there was a Nordic team unsigned, perhaps some players from denmark. But I guess who cars at the end of the day 😉

Babybay went +44. Easily babybay

Just babybay things

To be fair, Fpx did qualify and also pretty handedly ran over the rest of EMEA

EZ for bonkers

Fair effort from zeta, their improvement from the start to end of the event really should be commemorated

You aint out here trying to say no one knew sayaplayer, kid was a fucking star player and well known for being a hard carry hitscan player for Florida Mayhem and huge impact with Meta Athena.

Saya was absolutely not a no name

This really is the 100 thieves problem. It's a roster with a bunch of really good players. Problem is they have a bunch of good tallent. Issue is 3 of them probably fit best on the flex role. At some point you gotta pick favourites and if you had to build around one of them asuna is probably the best option (because the asuna Jett is good enough to keep you going in NA but the asuna flex is certifiably able to hang with the best in the world)

Sadge, it's gone :.(

They better not drop the flair, bonkers till the day I die

It aint vegemite that's for sure

Though with a Finnish passport he should be fine to get a visa

Derke has joint citizenship between Finland and Russia

Believe in Bazzi

The momentum is building guys

Can't wait to see sayaplayer the last hope for American valorant

Run it back

EZ for overwatch players Zumba and Bazzi. Time for an off-tank diff

Yo no Astra and the return of faze, what a good day this is

Ok but bazzi

OCE number one, Bonkers win worlds

Bonkers about to diff all of apac

No one ever asks, How cars :,(

Idk, got you boys thinking and posting about them. Probs good for the old hoodie sales

I find it highly unlikely that hyeoni plays tbh

And that's the joke....
honestly the English cricket team should hire him as a batting coach. Took us 3 weeks to send him home. We had the poms out in just a few innings

Idk, Novak didn't really perform that well at the 2022 Australian Open. Not sure if I'd call him the best ever

We only need one, Bonkers are going to win masters 1

One day, one day Davidp will find a team he can play for long term

SadAussieNoises

Yeah Ethan was great when he played smokes for them, also running asuna on jett is strait up a waste of asuna as a player. Why would you want to run him on jett, where he is at best top 5 NA when you could run him secondary duelest where he just strait up is number 1 NA. It's actually kind of wild that the asuna jett has lasted as long as it has is he serviceable for a top team, yes. Is he an absolutely cracked top jett player, not really.

At least 30 seconds of playtime

Godkar himself, yonk to win champs

Mate, his got an Aussie accent. It's legit the cheat code to pulling girls aboard. Man doesn't need to sleep with his sister

Thats the idea, they want a cut of that faze money

Hello sir, can I interest you in rural Vic. Everything you love about Melbourne without all the things you hate about Melbourne. My to recommendation would probably be Ballarat, doesn't have the traffic issues of Geelong while still being a developing area that has a lot more of the comfort items unlike Bendigo, warnabool and Horsham. Weather is good and doesn't have the issue of massive seasonal tourism like wang and most places east of Melbourne.
A short hour or so from the surf coast and (if your so inclined) Melbourne.
Also cost of living is pretty fucking cheap, fuel significantly less than Melbourne, rent is a lot less than Melbourne (so is buying). Aswell great work opportunities along side a current big movement to work remotely.

Easy just stay in Aus

New Bren esports > Old Bren esports

Good to see a new game be introduced to the casting brilliance of Uncle Egg and the Brenowmaker. You actually just love to see it

I could see that in terms of halo given it's huge console presence which is really where I could see the optic brand being worth more (that and cod but their cdl spot it already locked) moving the Val team over would be weirder given envy is such a strong brand in pc fps (granted one of those is through the Dallas fuel) guess only time will tell really

Yeah the last couple monthes, at least for the faze roster I think it's timeline is probably still in weeks, you can see it in how they play. With half the team moving to different roles, I think the team just got put together to late for them to look good in vct qually
