Am I the only one in this site who's actually played Professional Valorant before? Like half of the comments I've seen on this site are so obviously written by non-pros that it's almost humorous. When I was in high school (1 year pro on a tier 1 team) I would get a full-on game going and destroy the shit out of whoever i was facing. My coaches called me "Best Player in the world" as a nickname cuz I had such a nose for the Valorant and for those three year I was considered the most feared player in our region. Senior year I led my team to the Masters 1 Semifinals only to get fucked over by the TO's in the 3rd Map but that's another conversation (DM me if you're interested in hearing about it). So, yeah. I hope yall can understand why I feel like their's such a big disconnect between myself and your typical vlr user. Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels this way lol.

Lol... That's tough to hear
A lot of NA players shitting on NA orgs but they don't understand how hard is to find a decent motivated and truly eager to compete player in the region

It's not about being decent or not. It's about the tactical depth gen.g showed today. It was pretty lame.

Also, I wouldn't trust at all in a player who sacrifice the sentinel role just to pick a egotistical agent like Chamber is for the team. He barely brings any value to the team composition.

Maybe koosta should play some ranked and get some practice after all. I wouldn't contract an unmotivated player like him for my team to be honest.

Kick NaturE
Veto koosta from IGLing, it's definitely not his thing
Veto koosta from picking throw agents like Chamber at the cost of a proper and useful sentinel for the team
Try gMd as IGL, otherwise, release him as well

It looks like T1 players didn't know where to help

Holy I guess it wasn't enough with such a Chamber throw pick on Breeze 👏
Good luck with him on attack, what the hell is he thinking

Who the hell is the IGL for Gen.G?

So unbalanced :(

Aren't 4 of the top5 in group B?

I'll take it as a compliment mate, good day for you as well <3

(and not like a blatant Ad Hominem lmao)

I don't want a unicorn mate, I want a fair and well-defined rulebook ;)

I don't care if it's RIOT or any other entity which manages the rulebook. You can still disagree (or agree) with what's within a rulebook.

"G2 should have a heavier punishment imo"
It is all he said

Just following your example of a footbal match: you can still discuss about a certain rule being unfair, a certain rule being wrongly applied, a certain shit not being taken into consideration, or any other thing that would be up to debate. It doesn't really have to be that one-dimensional as "there should't be debate because RIOT decided X".

Mate, I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm trying to make you understand that there is definitely "room for opinion" on this matter. You are just trying to make this 2+2 which is kind of stupid, but you do you.

I'm not judging you. In fact, it looks like the other way around, you are judging people for thinking there should be a higher punishment. It actually saddens me you think I'm judging you.

Keep it civil, should we?

Opinions are subjective. That's cute and obvious. Great tautology.

But I would like to know if I'm unreasonable or just dumb by your way of thinking if I'm skeptical about "unmuting" during celebrations being the only offence G2 might have done during the calls. Or if I'm reasonable or unreasonable enough by thinking that pipsoN might have done something else apart from the celebrations.

Why can't you give your opinion on this matter?
Is it imposed censorship or is there an actual reason for that?

There is still something fishy behind all of this. Koldamenta's rant about pipsoN, Sayf response to pipsoNs text over the incident...

assistance disposal system

I'm kind of concerned about your comments on the website:

• Lucas rojo spanish pride 🤣🤣🤣
• kekw cheaters allowed to play 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
• kekw
• 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
• #ratzamisback 🐀🐀
• hiko fired 😭😭😭
• 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
• kekw thats what steel wants you to think, coach literally played for them, good luck playing actual 5v5 next time 😭😭😭😭
• steel in shambles 😭😭😭😭
• at least people from all regions agree that shahzam is a rat
• redgar with ''chronicle go kill with brimstone'' call, genius player

All good my friend?

I wish they did this before all this VCT NA drama and not after. We needed more transparency about this issue way sooner.

But I'm happy as it is still progress nonetheless

Look at your comments mate, reflect yourself who is the pissed one here

Who asked tho

Fix your shitty life before throwing some random hate on the internet

Bonecold isn't a weak link by any means.
He was nervous as fuck during Masters 3, but he recovered and learned a lot at Champions. He's totally necessary for Acend. It's not all about firepower, that's a rookie mistake.

Also Nivera is cracked and Soulcas is a really good versatile and flex player

He's cracked tho

My man you are saying Leo is not as consistent as Chronicle because of 4 debatable cherrypicked maps, even knowing that GUILD roster were nowhere near GAMBIT roster. When you are on a inferior roster, it is only reasonable to expect 1 or 2 maps where the stats against far superior rosters like Liquid, etc. aren't as high.

That doesn't make Leo an inconsistent player, it doesn't even make Leo more inconsistent than a T1 player like Chronicle. This just show that Leo wasn't on a T1 team at that moment.

Let's analize the 4 maps you listed:

1. BIND against Team Liquid (literally T1 team).
2. A match against GIANTS where he went -2 playing on SMOKES.
3. A map against FPX where he played Sage (well known worst performer agent stats-wise)
4. A map where he went -3 while playing Phoenix, non-meta agent.

You can literally pick whichever player you want and pick 4 random maps without barely any consistent analysis and call them inconsistent or "not as consistent as Chronicle". But that's completely bullshit, imo

Not saying anything about Chronicles
But find me a bad game from Leo lol

ty for the info mate :)

Does anybody know what happened to the Tactical Five squad? They were originally invited to VRL CIS but they suddenly disappeared from competition?

No, if you don't want to skip the next quali, then don't punish JUST your coach. That is stupid and morally debatable, in my opinion. Riot's punishment is more than enough. If you really want to punish anyone, punish everyone involved

I understand Riot's punishment.
I don't understand T1's punishment. Why punishing the coach while they left the players, analyst, etc. unpunished if they all knew what they were doing?

This is just a sad intent to try to save your org's reputation while throwing your coach's reputation to the mud

All good brother?

There is a small mistake at the team list in the end of the report:

GT3, mcdnlds shift, MLC and aAa qualified for Levant&NA while SCYTES, redCore, vSlash and 01 did for GCC&Iraq

Yes, BDS and Vitality want to be competitive, that is for sure. But it is a mistake to claim that some org is just cheap and doesn't want to go competitive solely by the fact that they picked a full french roster, or a full spanish roster, or a full "x" roster.

Easier example is in CSGO, look at Astralis, Vitality, Navi, Gambit, etc. do you think they didn't want to go competitive??
Orgs going for full french rosters doesn't mean that they don't want to be competitive, my friend. There are more benefits than just "being cheap" on the table.

Forget the "french" in french orgs then, just orgs in general

You are generalizing orgs in VRL France just because of some shitty decision made by OG dropping last international roster

Vitality, BDS, Mandatory. Not only french orgs, but orgs in general investing in french rosters for VRL as well: OG, Sector One (maybe), whichever org ends up picking Megastitut...

green what's your problem green

this but ironically

Bruh I was defending you ಥ‿ಥ
Don't you dare ratioing me like this

Ooh shit then there is 1 more invitation I guess

Ty for the info if tru

It's funny how yay is basically saying the same as comment #3 and poor guy gets downvoted lmao

Yup, CIS did pretty well

Still, I was hoping for orgs like virtus.pro or team spirit to enter the scene tho :(

I have no clue my friend

I follow coco on Twitter but I think he didn't report anything related yet :(

https://mobile.twitter.com/Coco_VLR

Domino effect from VRL Spain lmao

They cleverly didn't want to compete there since there was only 1 open spot available. So they competed in DACH, which has 8 open spots to qualify.

I think one of the players has citizenship of one of the DACH countries, that's why they are here.

Riot knows other coaches are talking behind the games. They are not stupid. They can't do anything about it.

Only the teams that make stupid mistakes get caught.

Megastitut

Wdym? There are so many fully french rosters because french orgs are investing in french players

Again it's wrong by the fact that there were barely any OPEN spot, not by the fact that there were some invitations.

Competition come from the best teams available, either through open path or through orgs investing their money into acquiring good players for their teams

Hermano, has ido de listo y has acabado padreado, ni lo intentes...

no penta tho :(

There is nothing wrong with invites to be honest (except that they exclusively invited spanish orgs)
What is really wrong is that there's only 1 open spot for teams to qualify kekw
