Zunba showed on stream Esperanza scrimming with Damwon, t3xture also most likely will stay on the team based off the party
They had 6 players so they’re also trialing a fifth (IGL?) to replace Secret, maybe Astell?
Damwon might look like this next year:
Yep, be ready everyone :)
Can’t say anything, but its a huge announcement
Get ready, big announcement coming January 7th regarding Vision Strikers (the k1ng announcement wasnt even the major one)
Can’t say anything yet but… its surprising if what’s rumored is true
no, hes likely going to damwon if eugene is announced that hes released
Peri/10X and Hyeoni will likely be their last 2
Definitely near superteam caliber
How good is Oasis Gaming? They recently lost a tournament to a team of 5 Korean amateur players 0-2
https://liquipedia.net/valorant/ZOTAC_CUP_Valorant_Community_Tournament/12, probably doesn't matter too much but I just wanna hear some insight from those aware of the scene, esp since they went to SEA playoffs
VS i feel benefits heavily from controlling the tempo, and struggle when they cant (compare VS/ACE to VS/FNC)
At times you can tell the lack of fps experience even though theyre all experienced in csgo, especially with their mid-round struggles which has been present since mvp.pk
Let VS learn from their losses, each loss has made them stronger even if results dont reflect that :)
personally it feels similar to cis; lots of skilled players but rely mostly on amateur teams with one or two dominant orgs stunting growth with low viewership
with the fa's korea has right now, a vs caliber team can definitely be made (nuturn went from 2 veterans and 3 rookies coming from other games to taking down vs at one point)
my bad i used the wrong word :( meant influx
i think relegation for challengers 1 vietnam?
G203 pro, using it since 2019 and works fine
considering he outperformed two known duelists in trials and held up with hyeoni when playing against dfr, i think itll be a good signing
if peri and 10x rumors are true theres a lot of potential here
No significant showing of HLE interest in valorant, will likely stick just to LCK
Zest might just stay as a benchwarmer, considering that he knows everything about VS’ ethic
Decent players, decent tactics but the scene is heavily amateur based
Even in VS games, you can still see that somewhat of a lack of tac FPS experience even if theyre ex CS pros
Not sure who to compare them to but Peri is similar to hazed, old player (hes 32) but consistent as a smoke
None that I currently know of, Rb has played with the team core for years so I doubt they’ll let him go so easily
Lakia, or how VS will look in general we know nothing about.
Unless a big time org (Talon, SBXG, DK, etc) puts big money to VS, doubt Lakia will be let go and i feel they’ll do the same with Zest as well
hermes will likely be their 5th, luz was gonna be their sentinel but fell out in trials and he outperformed chibab and lawrence
https://twitter.com/officialescvlrt/status/1474667992353247237 (Account private, cant see atm)
BBQ Olivers or Esports Connected have signed GodDead (former F4Q) and Moothie (former C9 Korea)
Peri and 10X, both ex-NUTURN players are also rumored to sign with the coach being former TNL coach fAwn, Hermes will be their duelist, Chibab, Lawrence, and LuZ were trialing for the team aswell
Spear Gaming, TUBEPLE Gaming, GoNGo Prince, ex-F4Q, Maru Gaming, KGA Esports, and SGA Esports are also set to join Korea for Challengers 2022, Talon and Sandbox have shown interest
Persia and F4Q Locomotive have supposedly been signed by a mystery org currently
Esports Connected, or BBQ Olivers
They’re an LCK org, meaning we’ll get our first look at LOL orgs in Korean valorant
Peri and 10X are also set to join ESC, former TNL coach fAwn will be their coach
5th currently unknown
seems like peri wont join, apparently him and 10x are set to join bbq olivers
that is still an option, jeong hi was a duelist before joining damwon
im just unsure of anyone who can match his firepower and utility
yes, but adding seoldam with t3xture is like adding hyeoni with allow
too much overlap with two star jetts that may not be able to flex properly
i only see seoldam joining a big korean org with good salaries, like sandbox or talon
is jeong hi really that inconsistent? stage 3 and lcq he looked strong besides a map or two
i cant really think of any f/a controllers that could take his spot
very big maybe on peri, but who else is there? gana from rio? zunba if he cancels his service? joxjo?
i think kia will look like this next year:
expected, excited to see the new pickups
eugene is also likely gone, do you think jeong hi is staying?
x10 is merged with crit who is sponsored by the bruneian government (who is rich as fuck in oil)
besides that v1 is pretty good where theyre at but they just need firepower
hes not bad at all, but theres likely better talent in korea compared to him and thats what rumor has
tnl isnt being signed, just their former coach fawn
unsure about ghibli but thats what rumor has, same goes with talon
namu has a lot of stuff and some other korean forums, plus occasionally people like fivek will talk about vct korea on stream
oh theres big stuff coming, multiple pubg and various other esport teams are already entering val
sandbox has already shown some interest and even lck teams are picking up on valorant (bbq olivers set to sign tnl fawn)
felix is a nice shout, id say sk9na could take up the role too
and the obvious (lakia) but i feel thered be a bid war over him if orgs like sandbox wanted to join
their “first name” is their last name because of how korean names work
its (last name) (first name) in korea
find a replacement for secret and eugene and thisll be a good competitor to vs
excited for kr :)
imagine sandbox/afreeca with a roster like this who has the money to buy out contracts:
is newgen better than what stats show? on wgs he didnt look very good on skye or jett, but maybe its having to play in korea on lan?
eugene will likely be dropped so they will need a sova, unsure about secret but he probably will too at some point
nothing is known about what vs plans to do with lakia, especially considering he has their stratbook
i think all masters participants are invited, atleast thats what they did for brazil
2 lets say? nothing official yet on slots for apac
its 1 oce team, lpl confirmed it
lpl said 1 oceania team qualifies every split
but 2 sea is probably more likely, i just took the stage 3 format
Make a potential stage 1 playoffs for apac, if invited teams will look like this for a 10 team playoffs
who sponsored bleed for that much if you dont mind? i was wondering how such a new org has this much money
let munchkin igl, climax on sentinel
jeong hi (if released) or gana on smoke
yep!
bbq olivers is set to sign tnl coach fawn (lck org)
nuturn most likely over
sandbox is interested in val, sga esports and kga esports joining val
damwon and esperanza trial rumor likely fell through
as a heads up, northeption isnt disbanding from val completely
theyre finding a new 2022 roster and are currently looking for korean players
not sure, newgen did not look impressive when playing for wgs unfortunately :(
vct korea website, says korea gets 1 slot to masters
also korean val isnt doing as bad anymore, theres a bunch of new orgs coming in and trialing players currently for 2022
