huh?

Acend 2-1 Envy

as they should be >:)

You asked 'by who', did you not? I simply gave an answer. Now whether or not you want to agree with those rankings is up to you. I'm simply answering your question.

by the very same website that you're on

Whoever the regions, whatever the teams, a great game awaits us on December 12th. 🥳

Anyone know why they forfeited?

except for Group C Team Vikings vs Crazy Racoon, but we still predicted the same 2 teams to advance

fair enough

didn't Vision Strikers clap Acend?

Crazy Raccoon went 13-8 and 14-12 OT loss to Gambit in the match they got eliminated in. I think they probably deserve better than dead last at 16th place.

Hopefully he becomes a coach somewhere

Unrated's intention is to be a place to play more casually with less pressure, but I get what you're saying too and yeah salty people are everywhere

no I said that many people want to "practice and relax and have fun without the pressure of deranking in unrated" meaning these things are possible in unrated.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Lmao who tf was saying anything about trying to justify that smurfing is right? I didn't accuse you or anyone of anything. Like seriously, let's stay rational here and not assume stuff nobody has said.

Second, why is it Riot's fault if they want to create an environment similar to actual ranked games where people can practice without the pressure of deranking?

Just because it's unrated and doesn't affect your rank, doesn't really justify smurfing their too. Some people just want to practice and relax and have fun without the pressure of deranking in unrated. Heck, the prevalence of smurfs in ranked is probably another reason why many want to play unrated.

Sucks but just don't play together then. By smurfing to play with a low-ranked friend, you're prioritizing your guys' own enjoyment over the ruined experience of more players.

😞

lol I see it, but I haven't logged in or linked anything, yet I can still see mine and other profiles

I haven't even played the game in a while so I'm unranked. Yet I don't have an account on that website, am not logged in or linked with riot in any way, and can still see mine and others' accounts.

I don't think you can link your riot account to that website. It simply tracks players' stats and games.

that's actually a good idea, but this is a third-party website so it's unlikely that it would happen unfortunately

:D ty

I was also thinking perhaps a flair of your rank (gold 3, diamond 1, etc.) which you could add but that might lead to some saltiness/hostility problems.

It would be nice to be able to add a bit more personalization to your profile, things like who last viewed your profile page, short description about yourself, favorite gun icon, favorite agent icon which you can add sort of like a flair, stuff like that. (this site is still amazing tho regardless, just some ideas I had) <3

over.gg not ow.gg

DK

(rip T1 tho, they played an extremely close 3-2 semi against them)

it could be worth the price. It's relatively cheap compared to other bundles and the skins are pretty unique. if you like the skins, then i think it's decent value

Still doesn’t answer my question.

If we ignore this nonsense ‘results as a region’ thing you brought up and only Berlin results as you said, (“I already clarify to you that the criteria was Berlin placements”) why are teams who performed the same at Berlin in different pools?

upfrags :)

OK. Criteria off Berlin placements, even though you brought up this taking region as a whole logic. But in that case why is Acend in a better pool than Vision Strikers? (even disregarding the fact that VS creamed them) Did they not both achieve the same results at Berlin if we are taking only Berlin placements as criteria?

👏👏👏

Problem is, your criteria isn't concrete. You seem to have some issue with responding to #45 too. When I said Vision Strikers destroyed Acend but you put Acend in a better pool than a team they lost to, you said that you were basing it off regions and the overall performance of each region. Yet for some reason you have teams from the same region scattered around in different groups which is contradicting your claim of taking "results of a region" as a whole.

bringing up "history and results" as you said yourself

still waiting for your answer to #45

remember iceland? Kru 7-8, Nuturn 3rd.

"from history and results" as you say

also I'm waiting for your response to #45

brother, I'm simply pointing out how your pool is utter dogwater :) and how some teams that easily defeated other teams are ranked lower than the teams they beat.

not really "subjective perception". At this point its practically fact that Latam and Brazil are not that good at Valorant (no offense, but just look at past history and results) while regions like NA and EMEA are stronger. I don't think there's much "subjective perception" and room for argument there.

VS were arguably the 2nd best team at Berlin according to numbers, it was unfortunate for them that they had to face Gambit in the quarterfinals and being the only team after groups to even bring it competitive and take a map off them. If Kru was facing gambit... lulz. Kru is nowhere close to being that good.

also wtf do you even mean results as a region?

If you're taking the results of region by region (which makes no sense since there are stronger and weaker teams within each region) then all the teams from one region should be in the same pool since their region as a whole technically got the same result.

If team A got first place and team B from the same region got 16th/last place, both teams should be in the same pool somewhere around the 8th place/average mark, not scattered around in different pools since according to your logic, the whole region should be considered at one equal level.

Why is Kru in pool 2?? You're seriously saying they're the same level as VS?

Vision Strikers destroyed Acend?

lol you had reaver vandal and ion op and still bought the foresaken bundle?
