PTBR: Mano

There's always people who would hate it anyway. But i honestly think most people will be pretty excited to watch them play on T2. TLBR and LOUD GC are pretty beloved by the community

VCB split 3 will have GC teams at least

they were inconsistent this last few months but they do like big games and internationals. i think they would likely be 3-4th place

SR should let Split open and ban Bind and Sunset here. If they ban Split MIBR is likely winning

SR is a superteam, they'il punish MIBR a lot

Because they don't fight for the same slots. The qualifiers are already divided. Why would they count together at the end?

Player Count is a factor but it shouldn't be a major one because a very small amount goes to proplay and historically NA and BR has the best viewership (Outside of China) and results as a region.

EMEA GC is 75-80% europe, and geographically the majority of the scene is smaller US and BR. So there's no reason to be EMEA itself, and not just divide it into EU and MENA (there's not even african orgs qualified lol)

The ideal world would be, of course, expanding GC to 12 teams, and dividing EMEA into EU and MENA. But sadly they're not doing that, so there's no reason to give 3 slots to EMEA

And that's where i disagree. Treating EMEA and Americas as a the same is completely unfair and nonsensical

And that's where i disagree. Treating EMEA and Americas as the same division is completely unfair and nonsensical when

most people think they should keep 2 slots.

because 2 slots its the normal lol

this format is absolutely dogshit

i agree the ideal would be expanding but what im saying is if they're gonna keep the same format there's absolutely no reason to give EMEA 3 slots

What? i'm asking about Game Changer EMEA not the main stage, because i know it's not only falcons lol

No you don't

You don't care about GC scene if you say that lol

It's not fair to consider AMERICAS as an entire region with 4 slots when 1. They don't fight for the same spots 2. They're geographically 10x times bigger than the EMEA scene 3. They historically have better results even as separate regions (even if G2 won, BR got top 3 with two different teams 3 times in a row)

they got smoked by "women only" teams anyway lol

even if you do consider BBL not EU its still a very small minority

80% of the EMEA GC scene could fit inside Brazil

3 spots. lol

so two out of 10?

and the one who classified to main stage got smoked 1-2?

interesting

game changers EMEA

EMEA is more than just EU

How many non-EU orgs played on game changers EMEA exactly?

You don't need to watch anything buddy

You posted "When is good valorant coming back" 20 minutes ago saying GC is shit and is still watching. Why?

There is a reason why she's hated in Brazil

bingo

can't say about the trans stuff as i don't think she's faking it, but i do think she's not a good person and the fact very few people from the BR GC scene actually interact with her says a lot

famous "where there's smoke, there's fire"

can we stop taking scrims seriously

if mibr bans split they're winning it if they don't they'il probably lose

this team has crazy firepower, individual talent, and good synergy. if they have a decent enough tactical work, they will be great. the thing is if they'il actually have that

if v1nny is a decent enough caller loud might actually pull off a pretty good year

seems like he never played an official lan so there's your answer

it is true but she was 14 and it was in 2021, and apologized both to the streamer in private and in public

i dont like her for other reasons but i think people are hypocrites and throw way too much shit on her lol

Top 1 fan. Such a charismatic player. She really deserves it

Shut the FUCK up.

Every round ending in 20 seconds lmaoooo what a fun game im loving it

aspas is a pretty funny guy

dude you can just not watch it lol no one is making you

holy shit petra sova arrow play

They need to move Americas VCT somewhere else

out of USA or out of LA?

if its out of USA there's some problems in that. english is the current universal language so it's pretty difficult to take all the teams out of there, specially when the majority of the league is NA teams. also i don't think there's enough audience on other countries to cover the costs of LANs

but - and i don't want to get too political but it should be a factor now - i feel like usa government and trump administration will get pretty rough on work immigration for the next few years, and it's already a big problem possibly getting even bigger. so i think it's pretty possible for riot to change the location or format of vct

what i do think might happen by 2026/2027 is the subdivision of leagues, kinda like what league of legends is doing right now. americas but with two conferences

kc 2023 was very funny i cant lie

in 2023 i felt like any team in the top 4 of champions (eg, prx, loud, fnatic) could win because everyone was so good that could have a great day and steal the trophy. in 2024 i felt like any team in the top 4 could win because everyone looked so bad that it felt no one really wanted to

honestly americas seem too stacked this year tbh if they had a better igl they could do well but v1nny is just icky to me

hope im wrong tho

i dont think the problem is necessarily with skye nerf but with gekko buffs, at least in the first half of the year. he's too much of an exec agent and he was too strong on almost every map, turning most of them into attack sided. so we just watched the same round over and over again, because every exec was very strong, every post plant was very strong (specially sunset) and people were just playing retake instead of holding a bomb. there was no space for creative plays and readings because the best way to play was to just stick to the manual. pearl on 2023 was kinda like that too with the harbor viper, but there was much more space for counters

on the other hand we had a lot of fun plays with him because his util is very good for solo rounds (like sacy 1v4 vs loud), but most games were just kinda boring to see.

second half was better but it was just the neon and breach fuckfestival and it went to too much chaos too quick. but it was still too exec-oriented for my tastes

that's because our coaches crumble to media pressure and always bring the superstars and big names that overlap themselves instead of building a team with chemistry a defined game plan with specific player characteristics and players who actually want to be there and make a name for themselves

like how they bring just one classic 9 striker because they just couldn't let go of another winger in the last selection

2G gobera
FUR raafa

they never played on t1 tf you mean "stay" they definetly deserve the chance lol

really disagree. while watching i felt like it was a competition of who was the less bad team, specially in americas. emea did seem a little better overall tho

2024 was the weirdest and worst valorant year ever in terms of level of play and meta (and 2023 was the best)

yeah they're one of two orgs that are not based on europe on GC EMEA this year and they got fucking smoked on main stage by a team that got 13-0'd 10 minutes ago sure they "speak for itself"

very dishonest to say that when 80% of the orgs on GC EMEA main stage this year were based on europe lol

i mean half of emea could fit in inside brazil

Zeta 13-4 13-0 lets gooo

kys

i agree but i do understand why they did that people just can't be normal

First 13-0 ever on GCC... jesus, feel bad for Zeta

Sayuri masterclass tho
