in 2023 every team had a jett abuser so calling specifically demon1 a jett abuser is just incorrect. In 2024 and so far this year he has not played many jett games at all and so there is way u can know that the reason why demon1 isnt doing is because he isnt playing much jett as when he plays jett on jett maps he still performs mediocre.

Also there is no way u can know that demon1 makes his teammates uncomfortable, looking at the player cams it suggests the opposite.

I wouldnt say it sucks as its nice to see new players and new teams do well and I woiuld say the reason there are no legacies is because the meta changes all the time and the game is new so new strats and ways to play the game are still being refined and developed.

wasnt just one tournament but the whole year he was insane every tournament in 2023 demon1 was the best player on EG and remember he placed 1st champs 2nd tokyo and 3rd reg season

bro what? both duelists in this game can play multiple duelist agents?

agent pool is def not the reason why demon1 is failing atm

reread ur post

lev are goated, they would destroy talon easily

bbl run ends here

bro my flair got taken away wtf

it says I got JFT flair on nahh

just changed, u happy now bud

the flair says it all

thread unlocked lets go

this message only applies to henbaby aand bronzil enjoyer

its been 1 game just wait until kickoff is over to make important judgements on teams

eg story would still clear

们新年快

oh hell nah

exposed, u gotta back into hiding now

100t is still ghosting m4, very disappointing

he should try out for an analyst role on vitality im sure they would appreciate his skills a lot more

bro take ur meds

what reasoning do you need for these people 😭

I would think the opposite. Who would spend many many hours writing a 100 page report just for it to be used for a bait that might have picked up 0 attention

if u made it then send the spreadsheet link but if u took it from somewhere just send us the original source link.

I assume the original image doesnt look this small so you could also just put it in a google doc or something.

There are so many otherways of showing us this spreadsheet.

can u make it smaller and harder to read please

u got yessirskiii?

0/8 no way u think exo is top 3

primordium, prelude and rgx

one of these could be replaced with gaia as well

im being deadass. only went back to normal once the game ended

it also says 0-0 for me as well

i mean statistically its quite the opposite but u do u

1. Asuna is the primary duelist and cryo has played more games on smokes than on duelist.
2. Being an integral and good player doesnt mean u have to have premier aim. I think he has insane aim either way.
3. Enlighten me on who is a better pickup, you mention penny but that guy hasnt played in tier 1 since mid 2021 on version 1. More recently he played for YFP in tier 2 but his team got delegated after they placed bottom 2 in tier 2 and in yfps most recent tier 2 challengers tournament he had a negative kd with a negative rating. Even during 2023 he had like a 0.8 rating and a 0.8kd. This doesnst sound like a player who is better than cryo who last year and in 2023 went positive on kd and rating in every tournament (in tier 1 and not tier 2 btw)

g2 vs lev

g2 wins

0/8. dropping cryo makes no sense

I mean 100t were pretty good last year, they were bad at the start but they won americas stage 1 and came 4 at masters. Yes they lost to sen and didnt make it to champions but being the best americas team for a third of the season and probably overall the 3rd-4th best americas team for that year is not a "shitty" performance.

nah they gonna drop him, trust. Its clown9

they'll drop zander and boostio and get rossy and a good senti like neT.

27 kills

"It won't kill the scene, because the scene will die by old age lol. Assuming what you said is true ( future talents harder to come by), the scene will be stale, while other games offers something new everyday. Thus, slowly or quickly Valorant will lose their playerbase to competitors"

I still feel like it will be fresh since there will still be pretty but the same amount of new talent coming in and out of tier 1 with or without a tier 2 ecosystem. This is mainly just due to the older players retiring so obviously newer players will need to take their place. My point is more so that the skill of new tier 1 players wont be higher than if there was a tier 2 ecosystem

I agree with your last 2 points tho. I recon there will be like 3-4 orgs for each region that would pay full time salaries, especially bc of the new relegation rules. There will prob be 2 new teams each season for each region until 2028 or whatever where the org amount reaches the limit at 14-16 each region or however many it was. This is a decent incentive for orgs to invest as if they get a 30%-40% chance for ascending with a salaried roster then I would imagine a fair few orgs would take this opportunity.

I would like to point out that in the 2024 bracket all the group stage games were practically done all in a week whereas this year we have had 0 elimination games so far.

I feel like if we compare the elim games then it will be much closer. Americas wont be as big as last year even with more core vct viewers, simply bc of the sen and loud run last year.

any justification for this claim? I highly doubt vct will shut down in the next 5-6 years if the tier 2 ecosystem isnt supported.

Imagine valorant without tier 2. Players will just be picked up from ranked, premier or pug teams. Barely anybody even watches tier 2 so its not like people actually care the gameplay in tier 2, people just care that highly skilled players can hone their skills in tier 2, we can see many new highly skilled players with tier 2 salaries as they can then afford to spend lots of time on valorant and compete with tier 1 players, etc...

So valorant without tier 2 will still feel like the same game for 90% of viewers, the only real difference being that future talent may be harder to come by. This however is not enough to kill an entire esports scene.

wdym exactly? there was never any intention for pacific to be on today.

Not sure if this is what u mean, yes there is a 4 day break between the first half and the second half of emea, and pacific. Its annoying for the viewer but teams need time to prepare and it would be unfair if a team played a match then only had a day or 2 for the next and then lost and then they are out for around 2 months. In regular season teams get 1 week of preparation for each match and its pretty much the same for kickoff here.

15 dollars is crazy even when u take into account the indian sweatshops

What I learned today and every other day:

Off season doesnt matter

good idea but the last part would never happen bc of logistics, these skins take like 8-12+ months to make and making a whole skin and releasing it a year late wouldnt work very well. And so instead if rito makes a skin for every single team and just release the one depending on which team won champs would also be bad as it would cost a ton of money to make all of them and at that point they may as well release a vandal capsule set for every team instead.
