“All of TH combined” reads as all of current TH. The current players don’t care about the previous accomplishments of the org. Only what they’ve individually achieved. Which was more than Aspas in the same year.

Ye this instantly doesn’t make any sense. Sports like bowls and chess aren’t much more athletic than esports.

Edit: and btw they would be considered athletes because it still involves mental stamina, strategic thinking and physical exertion.

More accomplished than a new team? No way bro that’s crazy 🤣

and Apeks if neither make champs

They're not an Ascension team so they don't get relegated

Everyone really making a big deal out of this, soft af

The good thing about this match too, is that if it does go the distance you’re not missing anything important with the NRG game.

Since you’re so obsessed with Trophies I swap between TH and FNC. I’m supporting TH atm because they deserve a masters trophy at least. If FNC make it to Paris I’ll be supporting them coz they deserve a Champs :)

Why you so obsessed with the past and trophies

Flair

Stay mad

KOI don’t get relegated

Bring back Robbie

G2 doesn’t count.

2G is on the same level or worse

At least he can support his own region. GE too embarrassing for u to support 🤣

Liquid didnt eliminate Trace in Bangkok, the rest is valid

I am British so, def prefer it than American. The American casters in valorant are okay, other sports I cant bear it.

which is ironic considering a lot of casters are British

damn

Not South

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (you ain’t getting it)

Erm actually 🤓👆 that’s in Scotland

Fingers crossed Heretics are back tho

Ye lets not do weird acrobatics to change facts. It was an international kickoff tournament part of the official champions tour, replacing a masters. Don't use cope to change it.

Is there any restriction on where the Russian org (without said sponsors) can sign a challengers team? So could they sign SNS for example?

Ye, and if they keep North\East it means us Brits get to play against ya 😈

Pretty sure this is the case with SNS as well. Vitie and D3ffo LTR

But my original point still stands, you can play in East and I don’t really see the reason to create a CIS region. Just add Russia to East and jobs a good’un.

This must be the case with MIR then. Kinda CIS team but no :)

Okay where does it say it only applies to tier 1. And in this case how is there teams with 3 “imports” on a team?

My first comment is all I have to say on it, nothing more :)

Because they can play in any region. The fact they are mentioned EMEA competitive Region disputes this. And no mention of them being counted as import.

I’m not agreeing with him but your example isn’t a great comparison. The majority of the world doesn’t have a problem with calling someone by their legal name and the majority of the world would agree it’s disrespectful not to use their legal name. Even in countries that don’t agree with LGBT. However not every country agrees with LGBT. And it gets even harder for non-binary people and language barriers. For example someone having They/Them pronouns just wouldn’t make sense in other languages.

So it’s not always disrespect but ofc it still happens and definitely on vlr.

Why are you asking me that?

Where does it say they are counted as import? It literally says the “EMEA Competitive Region” includes Russia

FUN FACT: If you remove the first 2 years of Valorant, it’s still tied :)

None of the “Why” is valid lol

Point is you could still have a full Russian team, even in Tier 1. They just wouldn’t be under a Russian org which i don't think would be a big deal for the players.

I mean, yes there is more Eastern Europe. But they are already in the East league. And technically it is still kinda separate because the qualifiers are divided into North and East and then they combine.

I think the only reason it got combined is because of issues with the organisers.

Okay? They can still play in it why do they need a separate one. There’s 9 Russians already, 1 team has 3 Russians in it.

2 seconds to google that there is an Eastern European league lol.

People talked about the downfall of TH, but can we talk about the downfall of LEV?

Respect for calling your team mid

Literally makes no sense after they 2-0 Navi

You can tell that from watching Tier 2 Northern Europe. It’s dominated by the UK atm. If val was as popular as CS in Nordic countries NE would be the strongest tier 2 region probably.

Nice flag and flair

Boaster was Micromanaging the team in 2023 of which he is trying to stop to improve his individual performance.

So no, your bronze ass wouldn’t have won a trophy.

This was also the year before “fragging IGLs” became a thing. Which some have said depends on the meta.

You’re in the group of people who continue to under appreciate IGLs unless they’re fragging heavy.

Like I said, depends on the meta, also depends on the style of the team, and the style of the IGL. If the 4 other players have complete trust in an IGL, their leadership and calls. You can essentially win a “4v5”. But it’s only a 4v5 in your eyes because you look at frags.

Edit: btw can you compare Boaster and Valyn’s kick off performances please. Think it just proves my point lol.

Doubt it

It doesn’t say edited on the post my guy. Holy cope.
