it's good for if you want a general understanding of what's going on in in valorant for people that don't watch every game but they never really go super in depth about anything other than general surface level analysis in their show. It is a very funny show tho
a team making a roster change in the middle of masters is insanely stupid you just wasted months of practice and developing chemistry for what a slightly better player?
as long as its in a decent timezone people in NA and EMEA will probably watch but from what I've seen Japanese fans are wayyyy more willing to watch in unfavorable time zones than Korean fans
that's kind of the problem with being an isolated region like South Asia is, some type of thing happens to OCE players, they are virtually blackballed from T1 scrims because nobody would want to play 100+ ping scrims against T2 teams when there's equal or better comp closer by with better ping. It's one of the massive problems that people had with the International Leagues, where teams from locations faraway from the IL centers would be fucked over for scrim partners. It hasn't really happened yet for South America because they have a very strong esports/fps culture but for countries like India that have a much weaker presence in the fps scene, this lack of competition and development is very bad for them
Indonesia has a lot of talented players and no disrespect to India but they aren't the most talent-rich region in the world
I need TenZ balls deep in me fr
his one redeeming quality was that he used to have a top tier raze in NA but now its just mediocre at best
Saying this as a former Asuna believer, we need to have an honest discussion about Asuna atp. He's just not the star that he was in the First Strike/VCT 2021 days and it was probably his time to be off the team in the offseason, but he's too clouted in the valorant community and he's just barely good enough to justify a place in the team. If he had 1/10th of the twitter followers he has rn he would be a T2 grinder rn.
D0rke glazing in big 2024 I thought we were past this already
maybe with time it'll get better, it was a recent addition so there's possibly some chemistry issues that need to be ironed out
one of my favorites is Blue Period, there's an anime to it but I heard it was shit and the manga is way better
there's a romance manga called Blue Box, it's getting adapted into an anime soon
another one of my favorites is We Shall Now Begin Ethics, no anime adaptation yet as far as I know
it better be better than last year we picked up boostio didn't we
I haven't touched the pro scene since the end of champions, can someone explain how the new 100t roster stacks up in Americas
westjett's whole thing is just making edgy unfunny jokes and then claiming that it was ok because it was "ironic"
eg core needs to be on a different org, fuck EG
100T without boostio still top 3?
he made like 4 20-40 minute long videos about KC at the beginning of the season
It just makes sense that a person from some city like vladivostok should be in the pacific region, they are infinitely closer to servers in APAC than they are to servers in EMEA, and probably play more with APAC players. Having Eastern Russians fill an import slot just because they were born in a location that's a bit weird geographically for valorant punishes teams for trying to pick up talented players from the area for no real reason
Germans stop bringing up a single world cup match when they haven't done shit internationally in 10 years challenge (impossible)
Pacific is equally as bad as Americas is in terms of location, and the only reason EMEA isn't worse is bc they have a central location in Berlin and don't have any players from MENA or Subsaharan Africa playing
football is an incredibly boring ass sport to watch guys, especially for casual fans.
people can act feminine without being gay
the gulf is too big right now because they don't have the EXPERIENCE nor the PRACTICE that men's teams have. There's no natural talent gap between men and women that exists to stop women from competing. The reason why women's team are shit is because barely any women play the game at a competitive level so the talent pool is obviously smaller, and they don't have the same experience or infrastructure in place to help them to get to those same spots. Esports in its short history is a wildly sexist and misogynistic place, if you can't realize that you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. It's logical to reason that women would have been turned off in the past because it's not fun to be surrounded by all this negativity because of something you can't control. Valorant and other esports are narrowing the gap by giving women and other marginalized people to give them the opportunity to get the experience they were denied in the past. You just have shit reading comprehension and can't understand text that's longer than 2 sentences long you dumbfuck.
I think the highest placing teams that aren't already accepted into the VCT circuit are put into ascension
The first thing that has to change is the coach, they are far too predictable and think they can still get away with running their 2021 ass strats when the game has evolved past the reliance on set plays and more on a flexible play style that doesn't need the precise timing windows and exact utility combos DRX uses. I'm not really too deep in the Korean T2 scene to say anybody that could be picked up to help this team but something has to change
women and non-binary people have historically not had a space in the wider gaming sphere in the past, game changers is that new niche that they can have to hone their skills against others that haven't had the same opportunity. If we just threw GC teams into the main circuit they'd get ripped apart and tbh they'd learn very little. It's been widely studied that the best way to learn is to be with people who are slightly better than you so you can have an attainable goal to constantly strive towards. It's known by basically everyone that the gulf between GC teams and the main circuit teams, even the T2 teams, is massive, so the GC circuit is the best way to get these people the experience and resources they lacked in the past. It's really not hard to figure out dude just use ur brain a lil.
vlr mfs love misrepresenting a group of people with a strawman argument it's hilarious
I disagree VERY heavily with your second point. The reason C9 and EG are running budget rosters is because their financial situation is pretty shit, what they're doing is pretty bad but it's being done in the name of sustainability. Rewarding teams for investing stupid amounts of money just makes rich teams who have the money to throw around that much richer, and those orgs that don't have the clout of teams like Karmine Corp or Sentinels can't compete
Dude went crazy for NUTURN and then does fuck all for the rest of his career
The first tournament I ever watched was the NA FaZe Clan Invitational Grand Finals
He definitely raises their floor, going from one of the worst duelist players in the world to possibly the best in Americas is gonna be massive for this team. I expect them to be competing for deeper tourney runs
Hot take, but Leviatan will be a team in VCT Americas next year
Tennis is not the same as valorant bro, there's no massive inherent advantage in valorant like there is in tennis or in any sport for that matter.
Before any nerds bring up the reaction time studies, reaction time is a very small part of FPS games, and other than reaction time (which is already a very small difference) there's nothing stopping a woman from being on par with men. This is wildly different than mens and womens sports. In the video posted, Serena literally talks about how men serve harder and run faster than women do, and this is because there's biological differences between men and women that cause these differences. Physically, men are far stronger than women, we see this is weightlifting too. In valorant, you have to factor in game sense, utility timing, crosshair placement, map knowledge, and so many other things that don't have any limiting factors for women. A woman isn't able to compete in the men's ATP tour because she will never be as fast or strong as the men, but what's there to stop a woman from competing in franchising?
There's only a small handful of players I'd trust to be consistent even in T2, and an even smaller group I'd think could even make the bench of a T1 team. That's kinda the reason GC exists in the first place tho so idk why this is a debate
