ai que tá, no MEG o cara tá amassando, e como disse antes, eles tão bem mais inteligentes, na minha opinião o o ponto fraco ai é o liazzi, mas devemos dar tempo pra ele

meus manos simplesmente jogaram fora um o melhor coach deles, um super novato, um duelista pica e o segundo melhor sentinela deles. dificil acreditar nesse time ae

Furia não tava com o Kon4n
mas mibr ta uma bosta mesmo

Bro, you guys lost mce, zellsis, leaf and runi.
im sorry but MCE AND ZELLSIS, BRO, MCE IS ONE OF YOU GUYS BEST COACHES, AND ZELLSIS IS GOATED.

Eu acredito na Fúria
Eu acredito no Mwzera e no Kon4n

"aIn MaS o kOy~"
Trouxeram meu mano lukzera da TBK como Assistente, tem mais comissão técnica.

Kon4n foi meu goat na TBK, e eu acredito nele hoje, a Furia tava muito mais inteligente no MEG do que a Furia antiga.
a Fúria antiga tinha mira mas nada de cerébro.
não acho que vão bater na grande LOUD, SAADHAK É SIMPLESMENTE IMPARÁVEL.
Mas essa nova Fúria vai bater na G2, C9, KRU, MiBR, NRG e EG (se perderem o Boostio e Demon1)

Kon4n is a much smarter IGL than Mazin
Havoc on MEG Invitational was just insane
Liazzi still needs to prove himself.

but i think They 2-1 C9
this Furia looked way more intelligent than 2022 Furia

but he is a celebrity in the NA valorant scene so he brings big clout with him

the roster with xand isnt bad either, but the thing is, they dont need to be, they just need to bring in people. its sort of a "celebrity" roster deal

Yall are not seeing the vision
Sentinels should NOT be a competitive team, they should continue to be a Clout Team, thats what the ORG is, which is why they should release the talent they have hostage.
The Optimal Roster for Sentinels and why is this:

Benkai
Everyone loves him, Apac's lovable funny dude, a more charismatic boaster. will get Sentinels the APAC viewership

Xand
The Insane aimer from Kru, a BR duelist and flex, he has a redemption narrative going on in Brazil right now, and he is very clouted when it comes to streaming, this would net Sentinels BR Viewership

Yay
The Washed up "Best Player of 2022", everyone on VLR seems to glaze this dude, and when he was out of franchising this year, NA fans mourned like it was a national tragedy, will enhance NA viewership

TenZ
Its Tenz, everyone heckin loves Tenz, bro gives SENtinels brand stability by just existing within it

Shahzam
The dude who gave NA their first International trophy, and who has a decent following even out of pro play. bro would consolidate the NA viewership

i know this sounds like bait, but it isnt, these players are good enough that series would feel close due to their individual highlights, but they would never achieve anything as a team.
which is ok, the profit to SEN here is in the viewership, the content, the merch, the traction. This mix would give SEN money and content, which is exactly what they want

to summarize

Xand = Initiator / Duelist
Yay = Sentinel / Duelist
Tenz = Flex
Shahzam = Sentinel / IGL
Benkai = Controller / Co - IGL

i dont think mimi-like girls are outside tho

i agree, the 7 letters sentinel rant is what inspired me to make this post

whats the female of word for Goat?

its not sexual, i just think shes neat

i think she is cool

i like mimi from platchat
i hope i find a girlfriend with mimi's personality
mimi is funny ya know, she is also weird and mildly crazy in a conspiracy kind of way
i hope mimi has a good long happy life, she deserves it imo

eles são?

facts, sen is annoying by numbers, Navi fans (we all know who we talking about) are more annoying individually

Teve um cara que comparou meu argumento a dizer que "a situação é de um médico perder o paciente pq o pais tinha um nivel literario baixo".
Sendo que pra você operar fora do seu pais tu precisa fazer 1 a 3 anos de licenciatura

Bro is mad about this post i made 3 days ago
https://www.vlr.gg/282790/br-is-not-emea

the fact you got so mad proves that my point was valid kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk also, i posted that 3 days ago?

oh yeah i do agree on that, ballon boy was the scariest part lmao

The movie is actually pretty good, you will have fun, you will get those cool; "aha i know that one!"
BUT it is not scary, its a pretty cool action movie. but it is not scary. sorry guys. still worth it to see it.

i go on vlr when im at college during classes or during work.
i dont spend free time here

His tripwire doesnt die after one player, it stays on! it also stuns way faster!
KJ has some REAL competition now babyyy

i did come across the rising number of literacy in english amongst the russian youth, but i decided to go with a conservative estimate so i wouldnt be accused of "exagerating the numbers to make a point". Since the argument still stands regardless of russian EL

Kkkkkkkkkk obrigado pelo reconhecimento mano

Never disrespect my goat widepeepofrosty again or i will ruffle your feathers boy

My point isnt to explain Sentinels mediocrity, its to explain Sacy and Pancada's difficulties in adaptation. the idea they would have anything to play for in Sentinels is dumb i agree, its not a friends team aiming high, or a pro team looking to put their name in stone.
Its a team of clout pick-ups, famous players that will create viewership but not results.
Hell, Sacy himself said he "proved himself by winning Champions", what else has he to play for other than financial stability? the franchising already gives him that, he doesnt have a reason to be at the top.

i do not deserve such high level of praise

thanks man!

LOUD is not to be underestimated

A year abroad for a cold open rookie is not enough to become fluent.

A good rule of thumb is that you can expect to be conversational in a language within 6-12 months of dedicated study and practice. This means that you'll be able to hold basic conversations and understand most of what is being said. To reach fluency, you'll likely need to dedicate at least 2-3 years to the language.

Yes he can talk, but he isnt fluent, he still likely has the mental lag learners experience.

i write scientific articles about pet health for a living. im pretty sure im outside enough

i was actually pretty surprised it was so high, anyway props to swedenn

muito obrigado parceiro, estranho mesmo

knowledge is free, someday they will learn something

ai é foda, deixo o esquema mastigado e a glr num consegue ler uma pagina mano?

cant, im a natural yapper

remain ignorant then

Pancada is insane

Too many Emea fans have been going around claiming that language barriers are not a valid argument, since "Fnatic has other nationalities".
Lets look at the stats

Swedish English Literacy = 86% ~
Finland English Literacy = 70% ~
Latvia English Literacy = 26% ~
Ukraine English Literacy = 23% ~
Turkish English Literacy = 16% ~
Russian English Literacy = 5.48%

So not only do the majority of European countries indeed have a higher familiarization with the english language overall, the only country that doesnt break 2 digits in percentage, is Russia, but if we evaluate the Valorant ecosystem specifically, what servers do we have?:

Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Warsaw, Stockholm, Paris, Istanbul

From the experiences of Youtubers, Pro-players and streamers, we can define that the majority of these servers communicate in English most of the time. Why? Because there are too many nationalities for a common experience to arise, therefore a "common" language is defined. ENGLISH
Its also important to mention that that depending on your location you can switch between these servers at will. You are Region Locked yes, but not server locked.

bUt ThAtS rAnKeD WhAt AbOuT tHe PrO sCeNe???

Well, considering that even before the EMEA Franchise League, there were still "international" leagues that granted spots at Masters/Champions, we can safely define AGAIN, that the multitude of Nationalities DEMANDS a common Language, with the exception of the French region and Turkish region, which cultivated enough talent to field a full team. However the French team in question is made, from players who were part of EMEA-Style International teams Anyway. Also the French English Literacy is 56%~.

But enough about Fraudmea, lets talk about the subjects of subjugation, LATAM and BR.
Now, lets see, what are the servers these regions have?
LATAM - Miami / Mexico City / Santiago
BR - São Paulo

But wait, 2/3 of the LATAM servers dont even reach LATAM properly? hell miami is in the US, and Mexico is Central America... which only leaves us with Santiago.
And BR only has São Paulo, are these regions Server Locked? yes, if your account was either made in Santiago or Sao Paulo, you cannot play in other servers.
Which means not only most BR and LaTAM players dont interact with english speaking countries, the languages spoken in game are the same as the country of server origin.
Hell, the LATAM and BR players barely interact, with the ocasional LATAM player with disgusting ping on a BR server.
But thats not all, lets look at events, Before VCT Americas, the Tournaments were separate, BR fought itself for a spot and LATAM fought itself for a spot. with LCQ being when these teams would face each other in a non-masters/champions event.
Now looking at Off-Season tournaments, not only are half of them either FULL BR or FULL LATAM, the other half simply Doesnt have english speaking teams.
The only one i could find is Superdome Latam 2023, THIS YEAR.
So, not only does LATAM and BR mostly only play themselves and each other, outsider teams simply did not express interest in interacting with national teams.
Most BR/LATAM teams will only interact with english speaking players ON INTERNATIONAL EVENTS AND BOOTCAMPS.
And im not even mentioning English Literacy (Average of under 3%, with Argentina being the only outliar), you can visit the biggest cities in these countries and find less than 10 people that actually speak the language of English.

In Conclusion; not only are the Ranked and Professional ecosystems COMPLETELY different, with EMEA having the requirement of english as a common language, and BR/LATAM not interacting with it at all. The Levels of literacy are also worse in the South American region, meaning the pool of players with english as a second language is incredibly smaller.
EMEA needs English, BR/LATAM doesnt.

A Helpful note is that usually EMEA players have different backgrounds, meaning, everyone communicates in a "broken english" or at the same level, there is fewer chances of power dynamics, while on a team like Sentinels, the majority of the team is fluently speaking, with 2 teammates who are learning as they go, even if not intended, the fluent players operate on a "higher placement" the Brazilians dont need to learn enough english to talk to other english speakers at the same level as them (EMEA team format), they need to learn while the other half of the team not only already knows english, they have been communicating in it since they were born, there are expressions, sounds and intonations that to a fluent english speaker are obvious, but to learning speakers are still new. You need to remember, they havent experienced the same culture you did, to expect them to think the same is asinine.
Summary of this Note: EMEA players are usually at the same "level" of english, while Sacy and Pancada are operating in a team were they are the only outsiders.

THIS IS NOT A SENTINELS SPECIFIC CASE, NZR HAD THE SAME ISSUE WHEN PLAYING WITH FURIA, HIS PERFORMANCE SKYROCKETED WHEN HE JOINED LEV, ALTHOUGH HIS DIFFICULTIES WERE NOT AT THE SAME LEVEL AS SACY AND PANCADA. SAADHAK IS AN OUTLIAR IN THIS RESEARCH

i can make that "sacrifice"

Yes, since Fnatic's mix of players, entered the scene NEEDING to speak english, while BR/LATAM players can go their entire careers not even needing to learn spanish most of the time

EMEA is not a good argument
The players HAVE to comm in english or else there is no scene, europe also has a much higher english literacy rate. while LATAM and BR dont, you can walk the streets of brazil, see a thousand different people, and only one of them will speak english at all.
EMEA and BR/LATAM are completely different places

he isnt fluent my G, his english is awful

You dont learn to be fluent in a year all while competing at the HIGHEST level of pro-play

FADE is dogshit??? she has two partial drones, a scan AND a movement denying ability

I Hope so, i want my pookiebear back

THE NA FROGS DONT VALUE YOU
WE DO, COME BACK TO US, MIBR AND FURIA ARE RIGHT THERE
HELL, ELEVATE SOME TRASH ASS TIER 2 TEAM TO ASCENSION
PLEASE MY KING, WE MISS YOU SO MUCH
JUST SAY THE WORD TO FROD AND BZKA AND THEY WILL DROP RGL AS FAST AS YOU CAN SAY SMOKE
