this is rage bait

c9 is managed better than whatever is happening over at NRG

v1c and oxy are what this team needs to build around for the future, i think they should pickup another young talent and fill the other 2 spots with veteran leadership

that last round they lost because of some bad fights, im not sure they wouldve won in OT but it was a good showing

peak vlr content

ppl are saying that his performances have been so bad that after this season he may not get another offer from a team after this year

NRG SHITTERS

C9 2-0

Bourbon Pecan, Vanilla Bean, or Cotton Candy

thats exactly the point, we live in a time of great instability in this industry. My argument isn't that riot is the perfect company, but that they do more than many others esports focused companies. The value behind have leo faria talk 3-6 times a year gives people like us a guy to listen to and be transparent with us. its not perfect but its better than nothing

Fair, I don't know much about CS I just like vitality lol

France fell off? Vitality just won Kato and the Woo is goated

Riot Games MABP Presentation

Imagine if you will, if your favorite sports team was struggling financially
Not putting up the results
Poor player management

Now imagine, a company came into the space and just started doling out money because they believe in the team and the space they inhabit. That company for me is Riot Games, throughout this presentation, we are going to talk about the 3 main factors behind Riot’s Success and what the company has done for me on a personal level
Focus on 3 main things: Accessibility, Sustainability, and Transparency

Accessibility:
Game Changers
Tier 2 & Ascension

Sustainability:
Partnership Program
Team support Stipends with a minimum + ability to increase the stipend through certain steps (600k base stipend yearly with ability to increase up to 1.5 million)
Global Revenue Share system through digital goods sales (2024: 70 Million in global digital goods sales, 44 Million shared across all partnership teams) (incentivizes teams to get better because they better they do the more money they get from digital goods sales)
Played a major part in increasing the global valuation of esports across the globe (early valuations in 2025 put global value at 1.86 billion, but modern day value puts it closer to 3.25 billion)

Transparency:
Articles updating the community on changes within the system and updates to the game
Global head of esports Leo Faria being transparent on twitter and constantly interacting with the community
Sharing viewership and financial data with the community

Personal story:
Without Valorant and esports in general I would have had nothing to do during quarantine
Opened me up to an awesome community to people that I never would have met under any other circumstances

This is pretty heavily biased and doesn't talk about the numerous negatives of Riot, but that whole point is to gas them up. This also isn't done just gathering some general feedback

When I am done I will post the presentation outline and maybe my research document so you guys can see what I chose to do

half joke half serious inquiry, I do a lot of esports stuff for my studies because its kinda unique and my professors ask me questions about it

I did choose it, mainly just because esports is something I know a lot about so I figured it would be easier to focus mainly on the TO side of it. I was going to bring up the social impact fund, game changers, the economic stimulus of masters/international events across all their esports. There is also a personal side to it

guys im giving a presentation about why riot is the most admirable business for my business presentations class, what should i talk about

is zeek still playing? the zeek from acend not the other one

the words "jinggg" and "high ceiling on any role" do not belong in the same sentence

I dont agree with the idea but its kinda similar to TenZ in a way. strong duelist/entry player transitioning into a more supportive role just playing it in a more aggressive way. It would take a lot of pressure off of something if he had an equal, more supportive entry.

patmen is just a sub idk why we are jumping to conclusions so quickly about what they are gonna do

Imagine being netted, tejo mollies, vyse flash, yoru ult + flash, and waylay ult dashing on top of you

This is actually the dumbest shit ive ever posted

Deadlock, Tejo, Yoru, Vyse, waylay?

Hmm ok, The tickets in LA were between like 150-300 but we also bought a few of them in the aftermarket, I don't expect it to be a huge increase from the LA prices even though its Toronto.

Current Asuna easy choice, Prime Leo ass smh

ppl who went to bangkok/tried to go what were the average prices of the tickets for the last 3 days. I went to champs 2023 and those were expensive but im curious if masters tickets may be cheaper.

I think his consistency and util is what makes him a top 10 player

He lowkey reminds me of faker, they have the same brand of endearingly awkward

Literally no way this is true

What team is Verno signing with? MIBR?

I want to make my case to my uni to transition the esports club to a fully fledged program with scholarships. I'm curious as to what talking points you guys would think would be important

Having no specific group/cast could be cool, maybe some main people but having randoms on like me would be super cool

put me in coach, ill brainrot harder than those guys have ever brainrotted

Podcast to rival the brain rot of platchat

9/10 DRX slams T1

They beat them 7 times in a row before that game

T1 over DRX is WILD

This is exactly the logic behind what doublelift said when China joined the league esports community and look at how successful china has been. Obviously Korea has greater and more accolades but China is still #2

Its not recorded in the response

EDG is beating everyone idc I will buy a jersey if they win

He fell of as a duelist because he isn't getting any support on his entry like last year when he had TenZ who was willing to go in with him. Either they need to change roles or Bang needs to be more aggressive. Also John needs to go back to playing Sentinel and put Narrate on Tejo duty

Its actually insane how people can turn what is a net positive into the scene into something bad. Really goes to show how gatekeepy our community can be.

I am dumb

Id say he's one of the goats but not in a competitive sense, he brought a lot of people to the game and still continues to be one of guys that people know even if they don't play valorant

EDG 2-0 T1

Perfect idea to feed the Valorant Kpopification, we need more!

Tex is a baiter

The only reason I had the T1 flair was because I really liked Stax
