If riot wanted, they could have done better they could've kept the the VCL to champs slot of south asia in contention with japnese and oceania teams, putting in the 2nd and 3rd seed of SEA in SA's slot just kills indian val

yeah, so DH could have played in place of exa, as DH was also picked from T1 academy, and he saved their ass against DRG, but it is good to see that others are out of T1 academy, now they can directly compete for the champs spot in stage 2, according to the new VCL format

after the sylvan incident, T1 fell off

dude, if he gets an offer to play at tier 1 with GE, he will keep his studies aside, he has tweeted about retirement like 3-4 times before(dont take his tweets seriously), still his las tweet was LFT, so dont push him out of the picture until he actually goes, currently raw aim wise imo he is the best in india, has 60%+hs on the vandal on tracker

Yo, tell me more about where texture said LF was lazy

Cloy?

Dude, venka n techno have more skill ceiling, as they are just 19 n 20yr olds, skrossi at 28 is way past his prime

bruh, if not for DH's amazing performance, T1 would have lost to DRG with demon1, and DH also came from T1 academy,
DH literally carried them on lotus https://www.vlr.gg/542212/dragon-ranger-gaming-vs-t1-valorant-champions-2025-opening-d/?game=233445&tab=overview,
also with vookashu DRG>T1

:\

fyi, slt isnt even the best korean T2 team, they always fall behind T1 academy, https://www.vlr.gg/528179/t1-academy-vs-slt-seongnam-challengers-2025-korea-wdg-stage-3-gf

true, zeta atleast represents their region unlike GE with all imports

the actual T1 academy team 3-0ed and 2-0ed this ascension champion team twice, at this point, T1 should swap their main roaster for academy roaster https://www.vlr.gg/528179/t1-academy-vs-slt-seongnam-challengers-2025-korea-wdg-stage-3-gf

atp t1 acad should be promoted to T1 as it is, they beat slt, the ascension champions

Dude, indian valorant player base is wayy bigger than japanese, they just don’t watch esports, cuz there are no indian teams in T1, if viewership is what riot cares about, then this is dumb

Bruh, they can also get viewers from south asia, currently Indians dont watch val, cuz there are no indian teams in VCT, and also, about japan, their best team Riddle Order got eliminated by Velocity which is from South Asia,
KR and SEA do deserve their slot, but japan😒

LoL, indian teams working together was a goddamn conspriracy😂, infact OR and TSM were like arch enemies, look it would still be all over YT, and indian teams improved from 2019 to 2020, and as you can see, entity was still in top 5, which is decent, and about soul, they always played trash at internationals, they were never meant for it, IGLs like mavi was always successful at internationals, (Indian Tigers) did not get visa for berlin, hence played from india, at 150-200ms ping, and still came #6 in pmco spring 2019 prelims, had they been on lan, they would have been atleast top 3 fs https://liquipedia.net/pubgmobile/PUBG_Mobile_Club_Open/2019/Spring,

.

well, indian pubgm esports was still way better than indian valo esports before the ban, even though BTR won that PMWL, as a region, india was on par with SEA teams,
https://liquipedia.net/pubgmobile/PUBG_Mobile_World_League/2020/East/Finals
see, TS had uHigh and was regareded as a great team, still ended up #15, IND MGS SGE finished above KOG and RejectS, TSM ent placed better than T1 and VAL, OR was playing there first tournament with that newly formed lineup, still placed #4 with a substitue(Viru), above SEA teams like RRQ BOX ULU, hence as a complete region SA was on par with SEA in 2020, but things changed after the ban, and yeah, these nepali, bangladeshi, pakistani teams were only able to flourish in SA because the game got banned in india, before the ban, they always used to at the bottom of the table, when playing in indian lobbies

and EDG, lol, they didnt even win a single international game without simon after he left

udotan, kristal, venka, techno, golu/some other import

If they wanna win, make sacy unretire, and get pancada saadhak less

+38🛐

well, look at his history of last 5 games, he won flawless with PRX, he was not the problem, it was the teams mindset, once they locked in, they also won 5 games with mf https://www.vlr.gg/player/matches/9800/mindfreak

What did they think🤡 they could win without sylvan?
Carpe tried and failed, even DH could not perform under pressure

This is what happens when ego comes in esports, deserved loss for benching simon

Wasn’t coach the reason simon got benched

Its basically main team vs academy team

GE next pls, for not representing SA properly

FYI he if you look at his match history on vlr he won his last 5 matches to make PRX qualify for EWC, he was never the problem, it was just PRX's mentality, sad that EWC qualifiers were not streamed, so people did not see PRX win with mindfreak in the end

The kickoff roaster

They were dumb already to swap beyn out for estrella, kickoff roaster was their best chance at champs, Drx deserves to loose for these dumb ass decisions

Felt this from the very beginning, swapping beyn for estrella was a dumb move, kickoff roaster was their best chance at champs

their team was already great in kickoff with beyn and flashback, and mako was calling good, why was there any need to bring estrella, and now that flashback is back, they should have stick to the kickoff team

Just like the shanghai winning geng had 4 Kims out of 5

And people think Americas or Emea is better😂

😭😂

get ma boi BeYN back, he was playing better than estrella, and mako was good on IGL,
these shit ass decisions are the reason DRX never do good internationally,
hence DRX only deserves their top 6 as always

get beyn back inplace of estrella, kickofff team was better

Venka was good though, until anti retired and left the team without an igl

Honestly, should’ve just continued with the kick off team, changing players wont do any good, flashback was playing secondary duelist in stage 1

Not without s1mon

I guess he retired again now

Hvoya the indian pride

They need s1mon back, he was the key to their international success

s8ul dumb af, should have signed venka, when he was so willing to join, generally he is better than miz

nah, mako was doing good already, why gamble with flicker at such a crucial time

Make georgyy the igl, or import another igl in his place, and get dm back inplace of anti,
Ek baar ye anti ke saath india me jeet jayege, but ascension me, anti would become like skillz
