honestly Deryeon + Kr1stal + UdoTan seem like a very nice core, I think they should try Kr1stals IGLing sine iirc PapiChulo is IGLing rn
(I know Deryeon is temp, but I hope they'll consider keeping him around)

idk why but the term 'furia apologist' is so funny 😭😭

damn, that was fast

Unfortunately Falcons would probably never be allowed in to Riot's partnership system (even through ascension) due to their rules about org ownership

but you gotta realise
if GE gets kicked, they'll more than likely be replaced by a non Indian org

actually yeah, I am overrating EMEA a bit. I will edit my original ranking

yeah I agree with #2 18 is too much

Aspas, Valyn, Verno, Ethan, yay

Liquid would benefit from a management change maybe
I would give them at least that before calling to have them cut entirely

This is a rough power ranking imo:

G2
EMEA #1 + EDG
APAC #1 + EMEA #2
AMER #2 + TE
APAC #2

holy shit I knew someone exactly like this 😭😭
last I heard about that guy was he didn't end up getting in to uni... wonder what he's up to now

😭

This thread is a rollercoaster.

Initially I thought what you did was cool, but I didn't have the time to go read through the documents.

Then people who read the documents called you out.

I thought, 'oh fair enough, maybe it's not what it seems to be at first glance, but I'll give this guy the benefit of the doubt, maybe he's just new to this and will use this as a learning opportunity'.

Then this reply where you choose to die on the hill and even accuse experienced coaches of 'jealously'', proceeding to throw away any good will I had for you. You're taking the criticism personally/emotionally and that's inherently something which makes you a bad fit for the role.

Yeah getting ghosted sucks, but that's just how it is nowadays when applying for jobs. You have to be able to admit when you're wrong, and that as I previously said is most likely a key quality to have as a coach/analyst.
To me it's horrible that multiple coaches actually did take time out of their day to read and constructively critique your document, just for you to spit all over that with this reply.

Vegans don't eat or drink things like eggs or milk (anything that comes from animals)

Vegetarians only don't eat meat

(for men)

I'm tryna see something
I'll say my height later when there's more replies (I don't wanna skew anything)

zeek and kiles vs d3ffo in 2025
(also doma is here)

2021 is so back and I'm here for it

TS RRQ not worth betting on

FUT has an ok upset chance but not worth betting on

MIBR hasn't convinced me enough to bet on them

I'm not vegan so I can't say for sure

but I think it's not that they hate meat, they hate that you have to kill animals to eat meat

god damn...

punctuation, PLEASE 🙏😭😭

dort why did you disappear when NRG were losing

🙏😭

🐐 (we need you back in tier 1)

'This is his world and we're just living in it'

I really disagree with what you say for EMEA (it's also exactly what we have rn)

EMEA is lacking: A German org, a CIS org (NAVI is less keen on picking up non Ukrainian CIS talent, so they are effectively an EU org) and a MENA org

I think a lot can be attributed to his win in 2021

NA CS was dying (some might say already long dead even) and Valorant was the first FPS game to challenge CS in a long time, so there was definitely a hole in the NA FPS esports scene.

The sinatraa controversy drew a lot of eyes to the team and org, who were still pretty successful prior, I think that initial controversy is what gave SEN that initial interest that carried on further.

Then TenZ came along, he was already decently big in the scene since he was the first Radiant in NA. He played on C9 but a lot of attention was drawn to him when he pretty much announced his retirement, only to later be picked up to SEN as a sub.

Those three things combined made SEN an interesting team to watch going in to Masters 2, Valorant's first international event.
But what really gave him (and SEN) his popularity was his insane performance at Masters 2, going undefeated without dropping a map.

Oh yeah one more thing, everyone was stuck at home indoors due to the pandemic so viewership in general was thriving, that was also definitely a factor.

I think BLG and XLG make it here

but I'm not informed enough to make an accurate pred

Honestly Mirage resembles it more to me

yup
I don't think we'll be at a level where we compete for trophies until both; A: Leo comes back, B: Kaajak has a year, maybe two of tier 1 experience

can i see his deathmatch stats too

yeah good odds, ima bet on them too
GENG looked way too shaky against RRQ for my liking

rare donk off game
he'll be back dw

no lies here

Spirit about to clap yo cheeks shush

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/a39f30c5

😭
lower bracket is about to farm my pickems
and geng drx im not as confident about anymore

hell yeah
I wish we had one of these in every region, it would be so cool

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/61ad4709

being able to enjoy things no matter how big or small is one of the 'secrets' to being happy in life

15% imo
30 if I'm generous

I was tempted by 8.0 odds too
but nah, I don't think it's worth it
I'll consider it at a lower return if they manage to win map 1

honestly I have no opinion
I'm just here to enjoy the shitshow

absolute cinema

tomorrow marks 1 week!
what an exciting milestone!

what was this about
i was asleep

yeah I think this is the case
I would've expected players to use the phone at least like once during a preround for sure

pretty alright
then nobody started smoking them

I wonder why EF didn't get picked for partnership in Val
are BBL and FUT bigger orgs overall?

It's basically WhatsApp, used a lot in eastern europe

Instagram (use it for messaging people too)
VLR
Twitter (Only use it for Val related stuff really)

I don't use the rest

man... I miss the days
(referring to both teams tbh)

brainrot

ngl I think M8 has this

but im a delusional fan so
FNC 2-1

damn, wonder if any of these guys are in CN tier 2
one was at ascension 2024 it seems
