if they increase price pool to 2 million, it won't do anything anyway. No one is tuning in just because the price pool is larger.

Just look at league of legends, small price pool and still way more popular than Dota in viewership.

Only reason they are 'forced' to have such a big price pool compared to all other Riot event is because the FPS players are used to inflated CSGO pricepool where some event that run every other week has a price pool of 250k+

basically nuturn bad, gambit is god

got beaten by girls lmao

100T just bad LMAO

sad but I almost guarentee that he will gain some new audience of 'edgy' kids (which is pretty much a lot of ppl who play games nowadays) after this incident, and my guess he will be even more popular than before

SEN

because Sinatraa did not provide evidence (or provided false statement).
You can't come to a definitive conclusion when Jay don't talk (or lie) during investigation.

scumbag move by him, but probably what his lawyer taught him and is the right move (for him)

will never know. Unless Jay confess, or there is 3rd party witness, it is literally just 'he said, she said'.

hmmm maybe if you read the article, you will understand why it is only 6 months ban

they ban him 6 months not because of sexual abuse, but because of him providing false statement and not cooperating in investigation

yesterday, I said BR Valorant scene is not doing good in the Imperial disband thread, and I got downvoted. Today you see Pain gaming disbanded.

this was my comment yesterday: https://www.vlr.gg/post/53190/imperial-disband

family guy

no one is hating on whole Brazil lmao.

somehow when people say Brazil teams are bad, brazilian immedately think of racism.
If you say Arsenal are a bad team, I dont think you are racist, I just think that Arsenal plays poorly.

Y'all take these criticism too personally, it is meant to be a criticism of the team, not the whole country.

lmao reddit thread have better discussion than this board. It is more civilisied for sure there

funny how no one put TUR team in any of the top 5. Cant blame them though

for me top 5 EU changes every tournament, so I really dont know who is the best.

For all I know master3, it wouldn't suprise me if 'dark horses' like Vitality and NiP make it very far

losing once it matters, so they are just bad when every team is try harding, not unlucky or cursed.

I'd say SEN can beat half the team which qualified for Iceland 4v5 lol

I still think V1 win though

come to think about it, I didn't see any turk in this forum since 13-0

VS will be disbanding before end of year. I called this a few months ago

would be more funny if BR lose their first match

I wish I am an intellect like you . i wish i have a way with words like you do.

stop self projecting

they are 1st seed, of course they are favoured. BR 2nd seed on the other hand.....

These false flagger act super hostile to anyone not with the same flag, and greatly exaggerate the strength of their region to bait people to react (classic sign of false flagger)
Just generally acting unpleasant so people will dislike anyone associated with the flag (another sign of false flagger)

can mod do anything about false flagging?

According to Sacy (Sova for VKS), he said KRU is top 2 if play in BR.

that to me shows how weak BR actually is, not how strong KRU are.

FNC 2-0 KRU

that shows how weak BR are rather how strong KRU is lmao

when was EU/NA favoured? Pls explain.

EU/NA got 2 spots same as BR.

with wippie V1 is not that weak. But with the sub, I am not sure how it will play out

I'll have some of what you are smoking

i still think NA/EU will win in the first chance they face the BR team (if they won against SEA/KR). Now BR really have no excuse, I am still sure u will come up with something though ;)

for the top teams, price pool is not really their main source of income.

with lower bracket, you can still get NA vs EU final easily

either way, I am looking forward to this

no one really care about the price pool. Team not going to try less hard if there's 100,000 less cash to win.

i think they want to push the NA vs EU narrative soon, so they make sure they play each other

they really giving all the advantage BR need lol

and unless riot artificially pump up the money for Valorant salary, CSGO will always pay more in BR. There is just more brand recognition.

difference between CSGO and Valorant is that you dont see variety streamers (like Pokimane, Sykkuno etc.) playing CSGO, but they will play Valorant from time to time. The game is more catered for casual (and that's fine). This is what is needed to help the game grow. But those people are also usually the ones care less about esports side of things.

that is 13 maps, 2 years ago. he's like 17 or something, I'm sure he improved since then

well it wasn't any news that most Val pro are washed CS player. But this is a different game and it has been long time since then. These players now have a chance to redeem themselves

not sure what that means but I assume it's something funny

that point is irrelevant on what I am saying. The best BR CSGO 'talent' will always go to CSGO (as is BR 'main game'), so their Valorant scene will never get the best of the best, only ones that can't make it to top of CSGO scene

no lol, her half japanese cutie girlfriend. Although Wardell and TenZ girlfriend are both asian, so easy to confuse xDD

is his girlfriend going with him?

I agree. unless you are looking for IGL (which I think require specific skillset), the rest are not that hard to learn for a pro player. Not to mention the game is so new, and lineups are so easy (or some dont even need lineup).

yes, odd makers shift their add a bit to maximise profit basing on who they think people will bet on. But the odds they shift is only tiny amount. They won't put a favourite (or anyone they think have possiblity of winning) to super high odds (like V1/VKS currently is).

this is not talking bad about BR. I just say people in BR focus on CSGO over Valorant (which is true). Why are you so obsessed that think everytime I put BR in my sentence, you think I am talking bad about it?

rip BR scene.

CSGO is (and always will be) the focus of BR esports. Valorant is an afterthought. Good palyer will want to go to CSGO and not Valorant in BR

that's preview of NA vs EU lmao

now bet365 also have the odds for each team:

SEN 5/2
TL 7/2
FNC 4/1
V1 11/2
VKS 15/2

good odds for SEN in my opinion, but a fair bit into it myself
