THE best T2 player in the world

only played online regionals

"not his fault that he didnt classify" fair enough but he still only played online regionals you can't say someone is the best of the world if he only played online regionals
same applies to verno

"potential" is just a word to not admit that right now they're worse. we didn't see mibr and lev play yet. let's slow down

Agree with the exception i think MIBR and Furia both are tier B and C9 is tier C (dont watch that much of emea apac and china to form an opinion)

EG is not unproven. they are proven bad. Same roster that did nothing last year, with the devastating loss of Jawgemo that they replaced with Sym/Icy (both not very tier1 material and a massive downgrade, but at least icy don't compromise anything), and replacing Apoth with Yay (which is a upgrade but we'il have to see how much of it because yay haven't been good in 2 years, and if it will compensate for jawgemo's loss). Only undeniably good of this team is potter but she can't make miracles as we seen this season lol

First BR off season announced, created by streamer and ex-riot caster Tixinha. It will be the first look at franchised BR 2025, as they will go with their full roster, along with KRU who will also play it

6 Teams confirmed: Loud, MIBR, Furia, 2G, KRU, Shinden (VCLAS), and the two finalists of VCB split 3 will also be invited, with a total of 8 teams on the event. Lev was invited but they'il be at Japan for another offseason tourney (and there was a little drama about tixinha not inviting their academy team)

Happening between december 9th and 15th

khalil from furia. sometimes he just becomes prime pancada out of nowhere. most of the time he's lost on the server. i hope he find some consistency because i like him

yeah, aspas is the one where mibr has "advantage", because of course hes the GOAT. but i think nrg is above on the rest (better proven igl, more consistent support players, etc) and equal on the prospect aspect. i do think that MIBR has a lot more potential outside of aspas than people are giving them, and they could eventually be better than nrg, but rn is not insane to rate nrg above

to me is s0m, he's one of the best controllers of the world and has been carrying nrg on his back for the past two-ish years. and of course aspas is mile aboves him, but s0m is still a very great player

I mean, NRG have the same "formula" as mibr (two very good prospects, one starplayer, and two very solid players), but the difference is that the two solid players from NRG are world champions, so of course NRG will be rated higher

he wanted to leave LEV for any team who paid the buyout, it just happened to be MIBR with frod

apac was 100% his first choice is just that no one wanted to pay (only bleed but we saw how that went)

100% confident he's leaving mibr by the end of the contract but it will be fun while it lasts

nt liquid, gg stellae jogou bem, fez o dever de casa. um dia elas chegam lá

ah bem entao valido, nao sabia q era vc, genia

pegou isso do chat dele po kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

joojina discipula de xenom

justo, mas nao achei as bala dele esquisita n

so theres four things about v1nny signing:

1) individually, hes not bad. he had a good year in red canids, while they failed on split 2, they were top 2 on split 1 and he was one of the best players there. his numbers are pretty fine for a flex, and while he's not mechanically gifted, hes pretty ok and won't compromise anything on this

2) HOWEVER he was not igl on red (unless theres something i missed) and he didn't igl for over a year now, and when he did he never was really an outstanding igl in any way

3) so anyone would ask: why the fuck did loud sign him. its not that hes bad hes just... not special? there was absolutely nothing he did this year that would make anyone think "yeah this guy deserves a shot on franchising"

4) and this is answered with the fact that it was pancada's recommendation, and pancada is best friends with him. so yeah hes there because pancada wanted lol

which makes it a very weird decision overall

above mirudasso, revelação boa desse camp

they should allow teams that didn't qualify to internationals to play on b-tier tourneys tbh that would fix a lot of things

i feel like it will grow on me but rn i think is weird as shit

too many people complained i think but i also liked the astronaut quite a lot

riot accidentally leaked their new logo at the 2025 format post

what do you think? i liked the idea but didn't like the execution very much, felt more like a 6 than a G

if you're above 23 and is seriously thinking of STARTING a carreer on esports and you didn't already play for a while even in some fakes/t3/other games you should seriously give up on the idea and do something else

most mid20s players have already been playing professionally for a few years (sometimes even on other games), sometimes ever since their adolescence
just go back to some random teams on vlrgg during 2020 on any region and you're going to see a lot of recognizable names
there's a reason there's a lot of young names on the scene, the older guys already made a name for themselves playing several years ago and that's why they made it

top 2 qualifies to bangkok, right?

predicting mibr and nrg for americas because of the possible bracket

thank GOD for the update to the point system, riot W

fair enough. i do think maybe some org managers could've bitched about it, sadly BR scene is built like that lol

i mean its unfair to compare. league has 15 years of existence, valorant has not even 5

thats because saadhak is allergic to masters, pancada has the face of a masters winner, he will bring it to loud, tell everybody on stage to fuck off, go to a club and party for six months

loud will win a masters out of nowhere on a fluke run and then somehow end up out of champions it will be very funny

actually, adding to that: from the entire playoffs i think only two or three coaches (from 8) are employed, with the rest being either FA, retired, or out of valorant

currently 3 out of 4 coaches from champs 22 top 4 are FA

it was tixinha's decision, not the orgs. i do think this could've be avoided with a "one team per org" rule, but i think he want to avoid orgs sending their gc/academy last minute. either way not that serious to onur react like that

EG only in C tier while they belong in A and many more nonsensical placements

nzr tomorrow

aspas announcement probably going to be something bigger (i think sacy is envolved) so i'd say probably teaser on wednesday and full announcement on thursday/friday

it wouldn't, demon1 only came because aspas was going to leave, there was no world the two would play together, and demon1 agent pool is too limited to play with aspas as a replacement of mazino anyway

two big brain igls on the team there will be ninja tactics to compensate aspas absence

tunnel vision and killing time are both on my top 5 songs of the year rn

mibr team is going to be srn - jelly - sayuri - nzr - artzin btw

mindblowing album

yeah sadly T2 is on a whole situation rn, but its not gc's fault, things wouldnt change if gc didnt exist. riot is just a bad company at esports and made a unhealthy and unattractive format overall

not a fan of playing abyss without a sentinel tbh too many holes in that map for lurkers

hes great and frod apparently really likes him

where did i said hate lol i said you dislike it which is pretty clear to me you do

and the GC funding overall is not higher than T2 at all, the only thing they have different is an international event (which you could argue T2 should have, or at least classify to champs play-ins). GC is also a temporary league and will end in a few years so its not really comparable

and regional gc has as much viewership as challengers leagues if not more in some cases so of course is as interesting as challengers to riot

then just... don't watch it? i don't understand your point. feels like you just want to be pissed at something. it's okay to dislike it and you don't need to watch something you don't like. play a little, go outside, watch some old games, watch a movie, idc. just do something you like and want to do.

there was a rumour last year that they were considering doing a valorant movie but idk how thats going

and to think he would go back to CS2 before mibr called him lol

he's really good and he really did deserve a shot in franchising. sad that there's not space for many players in T1 and t2 is dying because brazil has really good talent
