Most likely, r6 viewership isn't that high.
Sentinels vs 100t in the lcq peaked higher then what rainbow six has ever.
Only chance it doesn't is if jynxzi costreams it

Duelist Americas: Aspas
Dach: YaboiLewis
Reykjavik 2022: Mako (also do you mean Reykjavik 2021? since sentinels was not at Reykjavik 2022)
Russian: Shao
Flex: Chronicle
Coach: ElmaPuddy
A south american super team without Saadhak doesn't exist.
Are they making fun of pancada?
or are they making fun of the fans for over obsessing about the decision?
Why are people acting like sentinels are making the wrong decision when they understand/know the intricacies of the decision and how it impacts the team as a whole.
You can argue that Player A is better than Player B but a team's performance is based on what the team can output as a unit, not as individuals.
Rocket League.
He joined vitality mid season and won:
Closest esports equivalent would probably be Zen.
But with the longevity of CS makes what donk doing more impressive.
France has an abundance of streamer orgs with big fanbases and big costreams.
Joblife has a strong fanbase. jltomy costreams the games.
Mandatory has ZeratoR.
DVM entered the league recently aswell, dvm_medja often costreams the games.
Most of the costreams will have thousands of viewers and almost every organisation has a costreamer tied to them.
(In the case of JLtomy its normally 10k+)
France also has a developing "ultras" scene with super invested fans generating enormous amounts of engagements.
Also the new minimum age requirement for the VCT would prevent someone donk's age from playing in tier 1.
Apeks is actually so beautiful to watch, the aim and the util usage is almost perfect.
However, Apeks playing against Polaris teams might be violating some human rights laws.
His individual level is insane.
Inhuman reaction level flick

Teams like G2 Gozen reached out to us with their headshots and gave us permission to put them on our website. We cannot upload any photos/headshots for teams unless we have explicit permission from them to do so. If they would like to have their current headshots on the site we invite them to message us and give us permission!
Bleed esports made the call.
they trying to get their moneys worth
what the fuck does West Ham United got to do with valorant
In terms of stats playing flex really dampens the overall perception of a player.
In the case of Victor he was playing a wide range of in game roles and agent roles.
NRG had Victor and Ardiis flexing around a lot, swapping roles almost on a map per map basis.
I think he's best as a entry or a second entry, like his raze performances last year were still pretty good.
Yeah he had some underperformance like at Lock//in for example but he is still very good, he performed pretty well individually at Tokyo & Champs.
He was getting slightly over rated at the end of the Americas regular season but I don't think anyone is over rating him right now.
It's pretty obvious that the flair+flag combo is in remembrance of Twisten.
Victor and Crashies have played in 8 international events together.
In only 2/8 of those events have they both had a positive rating (rating higher than 1).
In those 2 events, they reached the final (berlin 2021, Reykjavik 2022).
Seems like if you can get them both performing at the same time its a winning formula.
However, it's been a while since we've seen it (atleast internationally)
Bonkar x Potter coaching setup would move mountains
Good read and another good piece by anonimotum.
EG obviously wanted to exit esports, recouping money selling multiple franchised spots across various esports.
Riot are pretty much paying EG to stay in the league at this point (if the skins/stipends cover the costs)
Probably something to do with riot's disdain around selling slots (inadvertently or not)
Duelist: Aspas (derke criminally under rated though, insane longevity)
Controller: Mako (undisputed)
Sentinel: Less (alfajer is very close)
Initiator: Leo (probably the most contested one, most of the other initiators lack the consistent level of high performances that leo has)
Flex: Chronicle (the 3 time)
IGL: Saadhak (father of valorant, has brought numerous young players to the forefront of valorant)
Tsm did recently say
It is also our strong desire to be in VALORANT Champions Tour. We will continue to evaluate the VALORANT Challengers League viability after Open Qualifiers have ended.
but i'm not sure if T2 is sustainable enough.
Legacy was the brazilian branch of 00nation. It's now its own separate entity since they split off from 00nation.
Funny enough, they were thinking of giving the slot to the game changers roster.
However, they decided to pick up XIT instead.
So they are just rebuilding that old CR roster.
The roster that couldn't even conquer Japan T2 let alone pacific...
It's shambolic to do a change this dramatic this late in the off//season.
Yeah. He was listed as a sub for kick//off so I completely forgot about him.
A lot of the CIS talent is now spread out across the VRL and VCT leagues instead of being consolidated in one team / leagues.
Losing the CIS league really hurt the future prospects opportunities, however a few of them have managed to find success in other leagues.
For example anq & dos9 in South Asia or Vitie in Polaris.
Interestingly , Russia is actually the only nation is have a player representing them in each VCT league:
Americas: Wippie
EMEA: Chronicle, Redgar, Cloud, Sheydos, Nats, trexx
Pacific: Jemkin, Something
China: Vo0kashu.
I've heard rumours that for the first bundle (classic, player card, ), every team will have the same design except with different colours and logos.
No animation either.
They will play the losers of yfp/glazers so its pretty difficult.
Might be the worst i've seen SR play in a minute.
Oh well props to 1337, played some smart rounds.
Is this the worst we have ever had?
It feels like the icebox changes have failed to fix the core problems of icebox.
Ascent is a good map but is incredibly stale, pretty sure its the only map that has been in the pool since release.
Breeze seems to be in a pretty poor state since the changes.
I guess we will have to wait until saadhak reinvents the meta.
save us.. saadhak..
saadhak..
saadhak save us
"x ruined music" or "music is better back in the day" is a terrible opinion.
We are in the day and age where the most music is being created and the most diverse music and ideas are being explored.
If you think things are worse, you are only scratching the surface of the music industry.
Yes, certain things may have negatively impacted certain artists or songs but there are so many artists unimpacted by it.
I think the edge that zekken has over Cryo is his flexibility.
Zekken has the ability to play multiple agent roles, team roles and a deeper agent pool, which he has shown throughout his career already.
That edge was shown in full display during americas last year where we would often see an awkward cryo raze map etc.
It does feel like a rebuilding year of such.
I really like the attempts to tap into the regional markets, the use of regional ambassadors for co-streaming in their respective languages is clever.
If these attempts are fruitful it would definitely benefit the future of Polaris.
This may be the weakest the league has ever been.... and maybe that is okay.
If we look back on Polaris Split 2 2023, none of the top 4 rosters are in Polaris anymore.
With the majority of the players being exported to a higher level or more financial viable teams in other leagues. (greener pastures)
Tier list:
S: Apeks
A: HTW
B: METIZPORT / Formulation
C: Apinaorkesteri / SweetNSour / Onlyfins / Whocars
With the way riot views tier 2 as a whole, I feel like Polaris is the representation of that. (for better or for worse)
Numerous young players given opportunities this year to compete and develop, just look at apinaorkesteri as an example.
The league seems to be doing a lot better on the social media and back end side with the new organiser (mist games)
Turtle Troop kept their spot due to them winning the relegation event.

The two empty NA vcl spots?
Well we don't know if a roster will be made to obtain those spots.
To retain a spot you would need a roster made up of the core of a NA VCL 2023 team.
Okay NRG will most likely beat furia.
but that furia loss to GE was so fake, and i'm saying this a #GEBELIEIVER.
It was literally a meaningless game (literally had no effect on the tournament) in the off//season whilst most of the team had stomach issues.
You have to give props to riot for the innovation it takes to create formats that maximise viewership and minimise competitiveness.
He's hit or miss for me.
Like some songs feel like they could be a shit post whereas with other songs you can hear how it impacted the sound.
I like this one quite alot though.

I ranked the teams based mainly on achievement.
Of course a team from 2023 would beat a team from 2021, you don't really need to explain that.
