MIBR has also played against Furia

caught them with 2 new players with very little practice together

Man is a beast on Ascent. BABYBAY IS LIVE NOW YAYY

2G has to pay at least league min which is a lot more than 2k USD

remember that they make a % of gun sales and prize money on top of salary

He's getting paid more than the minimum

No

He was top fragging on maps in tryouts. Don't underestimate Faze Babybay

Babybay

Babybay is live on Twitch. Finally a reason to watch Valorant again!

Why do you hate him so much? Haven't been this entertained by Valorant in years.

Say what you want but this is the most fun I've had watching Valorant in a long time. Can't wait to watch Babybay vs 2G on Friday. You think he'll stream this week?

Babybay was destroying in trials. The man deserves the chance.

havent been this hyped for valorant in a long time

Most T2 players don't understand the game or macro at a very high level. G2 plays an extremely advanced and fluid style. Picking up a tier 2 talent and having to train them would take months so picking up someone experienced like Babybay is the most logical move.

it's of the starting 5 players, doesn't include the coach.

Josh is a smart guy. The numbers don't include his age and are exact.

might be more surprising hahaha

You know what's funny? The entire forum has G2's 5th man wrong. You're in for a surprise

All job contracts in California are "at will" which means Lev is probably not paying him anymore. Emea contracts are guaranteed.

fearless draft makes it so exciting

They didn't bench Sayf, he asked to step down. I'm guessing Vit would have kept him in a non-IGL role if he didn't ask for a break. Seems like Cyvoph is a good player but needs a little more experience? He is still part of Vit but is on loan to Joblife. Seems like a good move for both teams and Cyvoph.

Wasn't because of management. Management has been nothing but supportive and wanting to win

JoshRT not being on peoples' lists is criminal.

Not sure why VIT gets so much hate. They were all super nice in Bangkok

T2 orgs need more incentives and / or $. Hard without gambling sponsorships or more money from Riot.

Faded is not the problem

feels like VIT deserves some love for picking up DVM and investing more into Valorant. Pretty cool move.

make champs

GE isn't bad. DRX are just good

April fools was last week buddy

It's his movement

LOL I love the dedication

You do realize that VIT has been playing non-stop since the beginning of the season and fatigue is a factor (including travel to Bangkok) while some teams sat at home and practiced for a month and a half. Still winning while getting a week of practice before split 1 and incorporating a new player is a testament to the experience of the core players and the coaching staff.

I'm not a Koalanoob fan at all but he's a pretty good player and definitely not the problem on Navi

Xeus had a big buyout and his performance during trials was up and down

He has great insight into the game, I like his casting

LOL this is a good reason

Is it a fluke if it happens every year?

The difference is that VIT put Cyvoph in a position to succeed while Gov seems to have just been thrown in.

Pretty sure it's more of a comms issue than a Saadhak problem. Hopefully they can solve their language issues over time as the team is quite talented.

No hate towards NZR but how does he keep getting picked up?

Coaching staff and players did a good job incorporating him in a week and a half. He is playing more aggressive and moving well with the team.

There were bigger issues between LEV and Aspas that the public doesn't know about. The breakup didn't happen because of NZR.

How are you a TSM fan and a Giantx fan?

I like his casting. He actually knows the game.

no, roster moves cost money

Not sure why people are making such a big deal out of testing eco strats. Teams also role swap and test a lot of different things during scrims.
