For english speaker EMEA/NA streamer to have knowledge of Pacific/China is difficult cause timezone. Sliggy would be the only candidate but he doesn't appeal to tiktok brainrot chatters that wants unmoderated stream.
Watching Season 1 there was no expectation.
Watching season 2 comes with expectation.
Expectation ruins it.
Meteor left GenG for T1 + go cry.
On paper, great players. Can't say the same about the coaching staff.
both meteor and kangkang great all year, the org performance throughout all the internationals just clouded individual performance with team performance on who's the better no1 player even tho different role. Best player should always be on the final champs winning team tho. Would be weird giving it to someone who lost at groups.
Its a classic PRX bo5 choke + 1 season wonder demon1. Only thing valid is potter good coach.
kangkang to play one good tournment and be called the best duelist of 2024
Meteor can't be best duelist of 2024, he should've won the best sentinel category.
the effort and Improvement made in Split 2 to win champs (most important prestigious tournament) should ALWAYS BE NEGLECTED by 8 teams turney and Mid season international turney with recently bias argument to discredit them and give it to other teams instead. Being the best when it matters means nothing. Masters value > champs value. Money/Production/Prestigious means jackshit.
If anything, 8 teams masters achievement should be discredited, less competition and not every team will be at best early in season.
u clearly didn't watch Chichoo stage 1 and stage 2 VCT CN then. People only say Meteor > Chichoo because they don't watch VCT CN EDG performance. Champs is 16 international teams, madrid 8 and Shanghai 12. This is why GenG dropped out, cause champs more difficult than Masters. If GenG at the very least made playoffs at champs there would be an argument there.
Despite EDG poor performance in Madrid and Shanghai, KangKang performance never been bad in those 2 internationals and in the VCT China.
#29 "Not to mention, kangkang played well all year lmao. His team flopping doesn't mean he flopped."
I don't even know much about the Valorant Lore. RIOT needs to make it more engaging and then conversation about the movie can happen.

Agreed, HSK coaching during the india off season turney wasn't great. And when GenG sign solo, immediate rapid improvement turned texture into absolute beast after all the time they spent together in damwon. Before start of 2024 season in PRX video they already tease that GenG gonna be a crazy strong team heading into 2024. VCT pacific video alecks and many pacific coaches already highlight how good of a coach solo is. Now that peri joins GenG coaching staff, GenG will be more solid after their champs exit. Peri is solo teammate during nuturn Masters 2021 Reykjavik.
I saw ardiis clip about non fraudulent coaches in VCT, he says he can't speak about solo cause he doesn't know much about him. This probably why solo didn't win the award since not many western panellists know much about solo and just voted neilzinho 1 and solo 2 instead. Being more international with western people wins the award, thats how you win vote. How else Jawgemo wins the award? The chat stream was voting on s1mon's clutch instead.
Champs is 16 International teams turney, the most prestigious, stacked, difficult turney. The difference is huge compared to measly 8 teams masters 1 turney. In plat chat we have Neilzinho winning best coach for winning 0 trophies (0 trophies wins). KangKang literally have to beat the all time bo5 record to beat TH and wins EDG champs trophy. If KangKang played average at champs then I'd agree texture deserve it more, but KangKang was heavy standout WHEN IT MATTERS. Sentinels never make Shanghai and GenG underperform at champs, u can't neglect those. EDG rapid improvement under muggle head coach and s1mon addition makes up great storyline of what it means to improve and step up. KangKang wasn't even bad at VCT China, put some value on that too.
I dont know if its EDG specifically being pushed because they want KangKang to be the next Faker
what's wrong with that? Requirement is to be a national person, EMEA too continent based, and NA's hope of next faker is gone with TenZ retirement. KangKang still only 20 and with him in EDG it would be a good long term future for valorant, China viewership will carry champs anyway, why not make china player to be next faker. A strong EDG is good for valorant.
I'd swap VIT and GenG. Vitality coaching stuff are just not that great... With solo AND recently joined peri, GenG is in good hands.
Australia would be the worst example, since CS isn't neglected there. SEA/SA/JP/KR is heavily neglected by CS with lack of "equal slots" for asia. The CS scene needs to die there to have any sort of Valorant transition. Australia is also suffering with lack of orgs to give any player support/infrastructure. T1/DRX/GenG/DPlus/Hanwha Life Esports are just SOME orgs with great facility in the country.
VCT Pacific location IS IN Korea. Local players benefit heavily by scrimming VCT teams, either from scrim or ranked. That answer the rapid improvement.
EWC is about the orgs representation I know, The Athletics e-sport is gonna be nation based, but too bad no FPS.
"World Cup" should be held in different Region/Continents every year.
T1 has never taken a map off PRX tho. Always got 2-0.
Jemkin and kr1stal also east russian. All 3 something/kr1stal/jemkin all part of Blue Bees (JP team).
Off-season Turney is not VCT, rules more lenient. Regional VCT probably have warnings, but Masters/Champs since it’s International audience is probably more strict.
Indonesia - TMosura / FrostTree187
Philippines - PandaCoco1 or have danii1 become filipino (similar flag just change colour around)
International - IonlywatchvcjXD for always updating the Jp roster moves megathread
SA already gone from Tier 1 why bring them back. 2 PH team is the future.
This aint happening , they never had wh expression when it comes to FPS
cause in other games, western regions gets extra slots in competition. Make sense to do this since valorant giving every region equal slots.

Imagine this team vs GE Academy on elimination match.
Indonesia?

GenG. But they only ever give 1 year contracts. And munchkin getting closer and closer to his military service.
Boxing day test match.
Boxing day shopping.
"It was such a great memory to get 2 wins at the GC Championship, which I had decided would be my last."
Damn, not even XQQ/TENNN streamer transition with possible comeback, but actual "last".
saw tweet couple days ago that JDG have internal issues.... actually turned out to be real.

VCT Global Contract Database - JohnQT listed as Non-Resident.
MENA solution: North Africa can go to EU, and Middle East players can become west Asia. It’s for the best of the region.
