the look on his face 💀

cleanest skye player atm imo

“role issues”

-jakee
-Runi
-zellsis

cloud9 should try to get some players from challengers who have good raw aim. mCe can definitely make these players top level players. imo this is who they should pick and what their new lineup should look like

Leaf - duelist
Xeppaa - secondary initiator (Skye, kayo, breach) and raze
Flyuh - primary initiator, viper and IGL
Skuba - controller
Aproto - sentinel

they could also get other alternative tier 2 players like Verno or brawk or they could go with the M80 players approach.

KRU will win this so easily. Before it looked like C9 could put up a good fight but they are 2-2 against LEVIATAN right now. Considering how they did the regular season, they should have steam rolled through LCQ as they did good in the season and hardly missed Tokyo. Also leviatan aren’t played out their mind or anything right now either.

KRU except -NagZ because he’s hit or miss and +kiNgg because he’s by far the best player on Leviatan.
So the roster would be
keznit (duelist)
Daveeys (sentinel/flex)
Melser (controller)
Klaus (initiator)
kiNgg (flex/secondary controller)

Russia actually has way too much talent. They have enough players for at least 10 tier 1 Russian players for 2 full Russian tier 1 rosters.

Imagine if RIOT opened CIS challengers back up again, that region would be poppin and the talent coming from there would be insane for both ascension and franchising.

he will most likely retire in the next couple years fs because he’s getting older now but he would be a GODLY coach. I could fs see him becoming an assistant coach to Chet on NRG or they could both be co-head coaches. Also if FNS wanted to be a head coach of his own team on a diff franchised team, that team would be so much more elevated.

People are saying that going into next year, BBL will fs keep someone like QutionerX or Turko but ngl I don’t think anyone on BBL or maybe even FUT not including qw1 and atakaptan has a confirmed chance of staying in franchising. Turkey has got to be the region with the most variety of tier 2 talents and especially aimers so I wouldn’t be surprised if they both get some of those players.

the worse part is that they are in franchising so they will quite literally never leave valorant, so at least 5 players and 1-3 coaches will always be cursed every season, no matter how good they are.

He only has that high ACS because he only played 577 rounds. As opposed to the 800-1000 rounds that players like koalanoob played. Because he played less rounds, there was a smaller sample size, meaning that if he did play the full amount of rounds, there is a great chance that he wouldn’t be number 1

Johnqt will fs go to either 100t or SEN

he quite literally is the definition of a mid player. Honestly will was better then him on mad lions. bro even got relegated from challengers 💀

Yay is a possibility but I feel like he could get a bigger bag somewhere else. Also johnqt and koalanoob could come as some kind of package deal.

-pancada(prob will go back to loud as controller)
-sacy(maybe to Furia or MIBR rebuild)
-TenZ(content creator for Sentinels)
-Marved as IGL, stays as controller

New roster:
Zekken (Raze/secondary duelist/flex)
Marved (Controller)
Koalanoob (Jett/chamber/flex)
Flyuh (initiator/viper) IGL?
Johnqt(sentinel) IGL?

Either one of flyuh or johnqt could igl or they could co-igl together. I didn’t include eeiu because I’m assuming he will be scooped up by 100T to replace derrek.

Isn’t many good new Latin American talents so this is the best possible new roster.

-axeddy
NagZ->6th man
+Adverso ->initiator
Klaus ->sentinel

Kru had their most success when klaus was on sentinel and he was very good on it. Adverso was a very good initiator back on leviatan. Adverso and Klaus could co-igl similar to AYRIN and dephh on XSET or they can decide on one.

Askia - Duelist
RgLmeister - Controller
Sacy - initiator
Pancada - sentinel
Havoc - flex (he has played kayo, Skye, breach, sage before)
bzkA - Head Coach
peu - Assistant Coach

Might need to reconsider for a repost 🧐

this is considering Apeks win ascension and Enzo stays on Apeks. Logan wouldn’t fit the controller role as he never played it, he played sentinel. Wailers did play controller and it wouldn’t make sense to get rid of nivera for Logan.

I only put TakaS on duelist bc he def deserves franchising and this would be the only team that would make sense. And scream is decent on flex with kayo and Skye and the secondary duelist.

EG will fall off in champs and get max 5-6. Top 4 in no particular order will be FNC, PRX, LOUD, and EDG. And yes LOUD will recover from their one bad tournament.

Tomaszy is def franchising worthy but if he joins a shit team like koi or heretics, his potential won’t be shown. I think he should join Giants. Giants is pretty decent and their major weak link is def fit1nho. So I think he has to go and they bring in tomaszy. I could see them being top 4 or 5 with this roster. Thoughts?

sentinels should make him the f0rsaken of Americas. Make him
ultra flexible and just be good on so many agents and retain that crisp aim.

I know some of these agents are agents that these players haven’t really played yet, but the point of this break was to learn these new agents and to make these players more flexible.

The UK only has a couple of good players like boaster, Mistic, Soulcas but they have so many coaches and analysts. In the EMEA league at least half of the teams have some kind of British person in their coaching staff. Like vitality has 4 British coaches out of their 6. Even tier 2 teams like Apeks have British coaching staff. Why is this?

Starxo played a lot of controller when he won champions so he’s good at it too

starxo was helping with calls on ascend so he could def become full time igl

-Wolfen
-koldamenta
-BARBARR
+Tomaszy
+kiles
+Nbs

New team with fixed roles:
Tomaszy/duelist
Kiles/Sentinel
Sheydos/flex
Trexx/initiator
Starxo/controller

Nbs/Head Coach
goked/Analyst
Bambino/Assistant Coach

IGLing could be learned by anyone on the team besides trexx and tomaszy. Also with this roster, they have a competent duelist and fixed roles. Thoughts?

EDIT: this is considering Apeks make franchising so their players won’t be available.

if Navi make it through LCQ and if FPX beat Tyloo to qualify to champs, then there is a possibility that we can see a NAVI vs FPX matchup in champs.

These are players from each role who had an incredible performance on that role in their peak. This list won’t just necessarily have tournament winners, it will have the the most impactful players and the tournament they peaked in.

TenZ/Masters Reykjavik 2021
cNed/Champions 2021

this is the reality for so many NA players bc EMEA has so many unnecessary teams and players in franchising.

edit: NA has the biggest problem because na only has 5 teams with 25 players rn and to be honest, the players on NRG, EG, and C9 are almost unchanageable because they are very worthy of franchising. So challengers players will either have to hope that SEN or 100T will pick them up or have them go all the way through ascension. Many M80 players are going to be screwed by this.

Btw I just want to point out, if can have a separate leagues for china, Korea and Brazil in league of legends, I think 5 reasonable leagues in valorant is very viable. Especially with how popular the game has become globally.

Americas has way too much talent to be limited to just 10 teams and 50 players. Americas should be divided into 2 separate leagues.
North America - 10 Teams
South America - 10 Teams
-6 brazil teams
-2 Latin America North teams
-2 Latin America South teams

Emea should stay the same, just maybe change out one of the Spanish teams because we don’t need 3 and replace them with a MENA team like Team Falcons or RA’AD.

Pacific could also be divided into 2 leagues. East Asia and APAC.

East Asia - 10 Teams
-4 China Teams
-3 Korea Teams
-2 Japan Teams
-1 Hong Kong/Taiwan Team
APAC - 10 Teams
-1 Vietnam Team
-1 India Team
-1 Thailand Team
-2 Philippines Team
-1 Oceania Team
-2 MY/SG Team
-2 Indonesia Team

Thoughts?

The guard prob won’t get any of them bc they just won ascension. NRG, and EG have already very good rosters so I don’t see them making any changes. C9 could make changes but probably won’t. Sentinels and 100 thieves are the most likely to get the m80 guys, but who will get who and who leaves franchising?

I don’t think MIBR can pick up any of the Furia, loud players or sacy and pancada. This should be their new roster:

Askia (duelist)
Havoc (flex)
Raafa (initiator)
GuhRVN (sentinel)
RgLMeister (controller)

bzkA (Head Coach)
peu (Assistant Coach)
TxoziN (Analyst/Sub)

Could be a decent roster?

I think it terms of NA franchised teams, NRG, C9, and EG probably won’t make any changes for 2024 season. 100T and SEN definitely will tho. If the guard lose ascension, 3 will go to Sen and 2 will go to 100T replacing derrek and stellar. If M80 lose ascension, 3 will go to Sen and 2 will go to 100T replacing derrek and stellar.

fl1pzjder - sentinel
TenTen - duelist
pancc - controller (should be easy for him to flex to controller because he’s good at flexing to underage from overage)
ntk - initiator
sinatraa - flex

coach: rob-wiz
analyst: XSET Ayrin’s killjoy turret
Org owner: Carlos Rodriguez (ex g2)

banger roster right?

btw this is based off of entertainment so that can include anything from pro gameplay to actual humor.

For me it’s Ardiis and it’s not even close. Actual funniest man alive.

I know none of the emea lcq are gonna win shit in champs but this is the ranking for the lcq

1. NAVI
2. GIANTS
3. BBL
4. TEAM HERETICS
   5-6. KC and KOI

chamber is clearly very good on bind as we have seen, but I think The Guard have the right agents on the wrong people. Trent is a decent raze but I think tex is a much much better raze. So I think the comp should be:
Tex: raze
Trent: Skye
Valyn: brimstone
neT: viper
JonahP: chamber

JonahP is pretty solid chamber as he almost only played chamber during 2022 LCQ in which he stood strong against other chamber mains during that meta. Thoughts?

add now pls vlr admins/mods

c9 proceed to make a deep run in champions 2023 but then drop their entire roster besides jakee and Runi in 2024 due to “role issues”. They proceed to pick up 3 players from the ex mad lions roster which leads to them not winning a single best of 3 in the entire season.

#36

you will get to ascension final and then throw by going -40 on deadlock

after sentinels get the valorant grand slam by winning both Americas splits, both masters, and champions, people are still saying yay clears TenZ.
