kekw, go tell that to trembolona
I'm not saying the amount of rounds are the determining factor, but it's a good indicator to show how close all the teams are.
oh no Zeta is only in the lower finals?? how could they shame on them
"barely won" lol Zeta has convincingly won all their wins
Loud went -4 rounds against optic, I think that's more "barely"
idk if you even know the definition of dispute, doesn't work well in this context
Brazilian's winning a Latam + Br Lcq is just free wins for Brazil, nobody from Latam has even come close to winning the LCQ. Koreans competed well in apac Lcq (which has only happened once unlike the SA Lcq which happens more frequently along with coming with benefits like skipping groups), earning many more wins than losses, it's just significantly harder for such a smaller populated nation to compete against countries with more investment and viewership with 15x more population size (this doesn't even include the 1.4 billion from India since they don't have much passion either). Brazil 2nd seed teams wouldn't stand a chance in an apac lcq where the best apac teams aren't even competing.
Quite true, Brazil got 2 guaranteed spots at each event all of last year despite being the least performing region. This doesn't include times where they had 3 representatives thanks to winning those free LCQ spots with no competition. Now they're getting another 2 representatives again despite having only one competitive team. Why should regions like Kr with more overall international successes, or regions like Jp with more viewership and investment and just as competitive teams have less spots?
it is, it just keeps proving how Brazil is a one team region and they don't need more than 1 until the rest of the competition improves
Drx won more rounds than Optic. Optic won more rounds than Loud. The top 6 teams representing 6 different regions are all neck and neck. Anyone has the potential to beat or lose to each other. Yet Brazil has gotten the privilege of getting 6 guaranteed spots alone just last year without accomplishing anything, not even including the Lcq's which basically gives them guaranteed spots. They had another 2 representatives again this tourney, despite regions like Korea who have had more international success, or regions like Japan with more viewership and investment and just as competitive teams only get 1 slot.
ikr it is, I wonder if mods can delete this thread, I'm getting so many notifications
a small region with minimal investment and no support and passion for fps games
Drx won more rounds than optic. Optic won more rounds against loud. The top 6 teams are all neck and neck and can win and lose against one other. Chad drx fans are happy enough to have a competitive team despite the little support the region has.
Every team wins and loses. True Drx fans will support their team and be happy with how far they went even though there is so little interest and support for fps games in their region.
They don’t have an insane passion for Valorant unlike Na, Eu, and more than all others, Brazilians who take things way too far and act like it’s life or death.
Also China can’t even participate in international Valorant events kekw why did you even mention them?
This one team narrative is getting old and isn’t even historically supported. Korea’s best run has been by a team that wasn’t even drx. Drx are consistently challenged within Korea and have lost plenty of bo3’s to other Kr teams. Japan has been dominated by Crazy Racoon all of last year, this is their japan’s first representation that’s not them.
the only thing I’m mad about is unfair slot distributions
not arguing which is better or not, just advocating for more fair and even slot distributions
This one team region narrative is getting old, it's not even historically supported. Kr's best international finish was by another team. Drx have been consistently challenged within Korea, dropping Bo3 to teams like f4q, Onslayers, etc.
U want to know what a one team region looks like? big hint it comes from an fps crazed region with a green and yellow flag who haven't internationally shown any success besides the one team that is looking good so far
not really, from all of Latam + Brazil, there seems to be only one competitive team currently
it's just that this forum attracted a lot of Brazilians who didn't agree with me :3
lmao Koreans haven't put huge expectations on their teams unlike some other... regions. They already came top 6, ofc I would always like to see them go further, but this is more than acceptable for me.
The fact that a region with such a significantly smaller population, 160 million less people than Brazil, almost 700 million less than Europe, 75 million less than Japan, 300 million less than NA (us + can), 620 million less than Sea, etc. who doesn't even have a passion for fps games has competitive teams that can stomp on teams from these other regions is enough for us.
It's like Brazilians winning a match of football 7-1 ;) against a much less populated nation with no passion for the game like some random pacific island nation and bragging "ahaha their top men's roster flopped so hard"
tf are you even saying? you're literally not using any logic or reasoning, just going purely off emotions.
here are the facts:
Kru did absolutely nothing before champs
Kru strung a few nice close wins in champs
Kru did absolutely nothing after champs. They couldn't win a single map. They only had one competitive map. They had a negative 21 round deferential in just 2 matches.
And wtf you even babbling about "only against EMEA and NA teams" and "make Masters 8 EMEA slots and 4 NA slots and fuck the rest of the regions"? Just this current tournament alone has shown that every region is just as strong and competitive. The top 6 teams represented 6 different regions. Tf is your logic that they lost to TL and Optic? Those teams both lost to other regions like sea, jp, br just in this tourney alone. Every team has the potential to beat any other team. Besides Kru ofc who were evidently a few steps behind the others.
"'fluke' is a bit disrespectful, you can't call fluke to their amazing run"
lmfao XD what a joke you're saying that's disrespectful, achieve absolutely nothing before champs, get a few close wins, then absolutely bomb it right after champs, sounds like a fluke to me
Like I said previously, Kru had only 1 close map, the rest were all convincing wins by their opponents, and not just because opponents played well which you're acting like is the only reason, but due to Kru's bad performance which you seem completely oblivious too
"anyone can look at some team and reference a few bad loses a well"
it's not a "few" bad losses bud, look at Kru's history, an insignificant team in the international scene besides a few wins at champs XD
who tf is this? they're taking such a big risk signing an unproven young talent
it's not a "generalized result'
on the contrary, it's a very specific analysis, idk what you're smoking by saying that's a vague thing to look at, the amount of maps they win and by how many rounds they win/lose maps by
last year's achievements? the word fluke exists for a reason. They achieved nothing both before and after champs. Even if it wasn't a fluke, this last LAN event is the most relevant piece of information to look at. Anyone can look at some team and reference a few good wins they had over some other teams sometime in the past.
well they went through roster changes :3
yes and I noticed how tsm academy were noble before being signed
https://www.vlr.gg/team/3597/noble
literally says it at the top
the stadium was small, and a lot of the seats were still not sold out
not complaining, would love to have an international Korean Lan, but in terms of revenue and interest, it's not the logical place to hold one
FPS isn't that popular there tho, doubt they would even be able to sell out all the seats
no sad emoticons <3
Latam teams will steadily improve to the point they can challenge for more than 1 international spot in the near future :)
Brazil small region, Sea small region, Na small region?
so now what, Emea is the only big region and every other region is small?
Also Drx did face teams like Optic as well. Only difference is that Kru got absolutely annihilated against them while Drx and Optic were neck and neck (drx even won more rounds).
"Drx got small regions against them u rly can't compare"
this logic makes literally no sense
They got absolutely crushed. The couldn't win a single map. They literally had only one competitive map the whole tourney, getting convincingly defeated in every other map. Pretty unacceptable regardless of who you're facing. TL wasn't even performing well, they got knocked out immediately by Loud and Zeta.
nice, which food is better Korean or Malaysian?
imagine if the academy wins (they have before)
lol yeah, he typed some Korean once but it was super weirdly written, as if he copied and pasted some text from a bad translator
... wasian boi... :D
nice to meet you :) one wasian boy to another
"now"?
so you lived in Korea before but moved to Malaysia?
tf is this? I'm talking about the region competing at Reykjavik. The Latam region (represented by Kru who is the strongest team from there) got literally 0 maps in the entire tourney.
proceeds to win literally 0 maps, let alone a bo3 in the entire tournament
