they're in for next year i would think, since there's ascension too, and i think they're overhauling the whole system for 2027

id be so down, i think i can go by train from london so i might be able to go to it

I think if Fnatic were to do Yoru Waylay like DRX, you’ll get better overall performance with Chron Yoru Kaajak Waylay, even if Kaajak individually is amazing at Yoru

But again it’s hard to say without seeing anything, and it’s too late to do much about it now probably

Chronicle might make a good yoru but it’s probably a bit late to experiment

Pray for me

😳

gg
nrg played really well

Champions 2022 has been topped

how do you even manage to get your twitch account fully banned

i think itll be 16 from what i see in the video, but im not 100% sure

!!

top challengers teams will be able to participate in stage 2 playoffs, im not sure on how they will qualify and manage the different sub regions

definitely, i think it going back down to 10 teams regionally helps with that but im still considering whether i like what they've done to ascension

itll be interesting to see, especially since both masters have the same number of teams now, it would be weird to have it for masters 2 but not masters 1

Masters Santiago
Masters London
Champions Shanghai

MASTERS 1 WILL BE 12 TEAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TIER 2 TEAMS AT CHAMPS (No more ascension and visitor slots in tier 1 though)

Kickoff is triple elimination

All 4 international league stage 2 playoffs will be roadshows, China is having roadshows year round

'more bracket play throughout the year'

hes doing something valorant related rn if anyone wants to watch

I think smoking is easier by a small margin on astra

but using the blind is much easier than stuns/sucks

so overall I'd say omen is easier

every game remaining

he gets way more hate than he deserves
sometimes it takes a while, but he does listen to the community

so many people don't understand what it takes to be in a high managerial position

Based on what?? 💀

Oman is up there

its the closest we have tbh

nah he cooked you

i WILL be watching

nah, in valorant its way more important compared to something like league where worlds is the ultimate title

he's certainly not the only good one but I do think he gaps whoever is #2

its a chrome webstore extension

yukkysvlr

ive got them disabled i think they look ugly ngl

talk ab rent free

I think a cool way to do it would be to use the new regional power rankings, the stronger overall regions get higher priority for example (admittedly they’re not perfect, but they’re better than random imo)

😭😭😭

Obviously I would've liked it way more if FNC won, but to discredit PRX is wrong to me on principle.

I would much rather lose to a team which deserved to win over a team that's 'fluked'.

Sometimes you get matched against teams which have a stylistic advantage over you, it's just a part of competition, yeah it was particularly unlucky, but it's the exact same as getting placed in a group of death.

If you can't adapt can you really be called the best team at the tournament?

edit: meant to reply to #2

You can talk about how its a good or bad rule, and whether it should continue to be used over some other alternative.
But lets be clear,

it does NOT make PRX's win a fluke, having a well rounded map pool is one of the several factors a trophy winning team should have.

im down to talk about ewc but i think this convo should be vct only

1. FNC I've been watching Boaster (and doma on and off) since 2020, have been a fan of the team for almost 5 years

2. NRG would like s0m to lift a trophy, as he is someone who clearly has passion for pro play (he could make plenty of money by simply committing to streaming, but he chooses to play on the stage)

3. DRX about time MaKo gets a trophy, been following him since 2021

4. TH roster of young talent which has come so close to winning twice so far

5. PRX they beat us in a grand final already 😔

6. MIBR absolutely biased but I can't have aspas gain more ground the goat debate, would be pretty cool for Verno though
