unlucky for him he got signed a little more than 2 months ago

whos TSM

right now with covid and regions being pretty locked theres been no attempt for teams to import players from outside their region (besides xeta and like half of CR)
what would be some crazy imports you would like to see?

i.e
Yay to G2
Keloqz to 100T
cNed to CR
stax to KRU
crashies to VK

Completely outlandish and I don't think this will happen but:

100T move Hiko onto a Sentinel role, keep Asuna and Ethan as is, signed Koldamente and keloqz from G2 as a sova and jett respectively.
Obviously there's language barriers + covid + imports but it would be fun t osee

i thought word was hes headed to geng

battlfy link? im curious

that is correct

Happy thanksgiving btw

the content we didnt know we wanted
kinda hope we get something like this for EMEA but i doubt it

elaborate

Riot intentionally put them in the only group w/o any BR teams /s

contenders

Wait, these are PROFESSIONAL valorant players? I'm better than all of them and I'm in bronze. I purposely empty my vandal clip down to 1 bullet because I kill all my opponents with 1 tap ease. Tenz looks like he could use some lessons from me directly. I'm bronze by the way.

EU also known as "Easily Upset" is the most overhyped region at Masters 2. Since they gave up on winning the event, they are investing in speedruns. They are current world record holders in fastest map lost and Airport Any %

What the hell are both of these teams doing? I'm in bronze and I could compete better than all of the players in this tournament. I can't believe I'm being held back by my teammates this bad. Any orgs feel free to DM me.

[INSERT TEAM NAME] is fantastic, they just need to work on communication, aim, map awareness, crosshair placement, eco management, pistol aim, awp flicks, grenade spots, pop flashes, positioning, bomb plant positions, retake ability, spray, skills use, control and getting kills

other major tourneys sometimes have parts of skin sales go towards the prize pool, so that might add to the prize pool

group C freelo for crazy raccoon

The Groups for Champions has been revealed:

• A: Acend, NV, Vivo, X10
• B: Sen, KRU, Liquid, FURIA
• C: Gambit, Vikings, Secret, CR
• D: Fnatic, VS, C9, Full Sense

ScreaM is a really good sage but sage util is pretty easy to use

the game puts similar elo against similar elo. If 4 silvers and a radiant are in queue, the game will (try to) put them agaisnt another stack of 4 silvers and a radiant

the obvious problem with this is absurdly high queue times

username checks out

no i think he got an offer from Goblin

cned uses less than appreciated op skins for no apparent reason. At berlin he used silvanus, minima, and prism

sentinels logo looks like a stim beacon which is a callback to brimstone gaming, automatic #1

Germany as a whole already has pretty strict regulations for international travellers and for esports. I don't think the spike in cases would affect the restrictions unless it reached a point where the entire country would need to shut down.

Not German but I do know that much

would a trust factor system benefit or take away from matchmaking quality, and how effective would it be

For those unfamiliar, CS has a trust factor system that puts players that are frequently reported (generally for cheats) against each other, and players that are on good behavior with other players that are also on good behavior. It leads to the lower level of trust factor having a lot of hacker v hacker and a lot of toxicity, and the upper level having decent matchmaking

Obviously valorant's cheating problem is much less so it would be for people reported for toxicity, throwing games, afking, etc.

bad take. Implying any team is at the same level as crazy raccoon is wrong

C9B to Brazil. Keep the MIBR fans up at night

I am from the future and know the teams that will be at Masters 1 2022

XSET
NRG
C9B
NV
Rise
Sen
KCP
T1

I will see you all in 4 months

grudge match of the century

TenZ playing against his old team which has now followed him to the world stage
Mitch playing against the guy that used to carry the team in ignition series

Obviously theres no actual beef between any of the players but from an org standpoint it would be crazy
