praying for everyone but some of these pass% look scary
gopo is a 49% pass
ush is a 50%
human geo is a 54%
pass% looks high, if youre confident you should be good gl in the morning
to any gopo and ush takers i wish you the best of luck in the morning theres a 50% pass rate for the 2022 exams
wtf i just looked at the score% for 2022, 46% fail rate?? holy good luck
wishing you all the best for tomorrow morning
scores are up 7am est tomorrow, dont wake up early. the site is most likely gonna be down so wake up at your regular times
also drop your aps below so we can all suffer together
site will probably be down honestly just wait until you regularly wake up
any ap worlders? praying for you all the mcq was ass
has to be the full trembolona approved list
heat? not good with raze
aspas? not good with raze
xand? not good with raze

tbf zest is more of a lanimal, plus his igl factor
drx’s success relies on stax and rb’s mentality
said it wrong, in rl its seperated as eu and mena so geographically yes but in rl terms no
Falcons just made top 3 in the RLCS major after beating SSG, making them the first non NA/EU team to make the podium in RL
If a minor region with a dominant team like Falcons can do it in another game after all the hype, then is it finally time for DRX to make a podium finish?? this is probably hopium but one can dream
map 3
13-6 who cars
whoever got more points in stage 2 entirety
if thats a tie, its head to head
assume from there its who placed higher in vct emea
because thats not how it works
the seeding takes the region final results from the previous event and puts them together regardless of who the team that placed there is
in this case, the order is probably
na1
latam/br1 (latam1)
apac1
emea1
br1
jp1
kr1
na2
apac2
eu2
latam2
eu3
which is probably how we got the groups we have, it kinda? makes more sense since jp1 and kr1 are also against eachother
no one who watches kr scene knows to not have hype for drx we just hope they make it out of groups at the very least after champs
always everyone else thats not apac/kr who wants to overhype drx until the very end
the glowup on meteor, went from playing on a team called i need girlfriend, to making it on tnl, and now qualifying for an international
Bo also agrees that BLD has a much higher chance than PRX to make franchising
Yes, it’s true Riot is the ones giving the money. However, they’re looking for the orgs that are stable and reputable enough in terms of operations.
There’s no doubt Bleed outmatches PRX, as I and other APAC insighters can most likely agree on. Bleed’s founder himself said f0rsaken is paid “pennies” compared to what other players of his caliber get. Benkai also talked about past struggles that the org had financially (back when they were PRX CSGO) and that brings them down in stability/reputability.
In short Riot wants the biggest names who have the most tenure/positive repetoire to themselves. Bleed alone is raising 30 million dollars in investments, does Riot not look at that in a positive light for such a new org? That alone is similar to that of orgs like 100T who are raising 50 million in investment funds, and that’s in a much more stable region
from what i know, heres some changes id make to your list based off what ive been told
S: DRX, DK, ZETA, BLD, TS, XIA (SBXG/KT)
Orgs supporting Val from the beginning/large commitment, reputable names and overall biggest orgs in Asia. Most likely of these are very likely to make it.
+LCK orgs have been approached by Riot in regards to franchising (as is with all League regions likely) and SBX + KT have shown the most interest in Valorant as of now.
A: CR, PSJ, ORDER, EDG, RNG, TLN, IG
Many of these orgs are pretty big in their own right (especially PSJ) but for the most part the reason for them not making it is mostly due to either not being enough slots or some other factors. Most likely of these imo are CR and PSJ, ORDER if OCE is getting a slot. EDG, IG, and RNG are complicated as god knows when China is getting approved for VAL, and who knows what their plan is as of now
A-: BOOM, ONIC, RRQ, NGX
Other massive orgs in their own right but as goes with the A tier teams, it’d be a small chance for them to make it over other preestablished names
B: MITH, DGW, ONS, RIG, other big-name SEA/JP/KR orgs
Low chance already but could have a small chance if they stand out well enough. Highest chance out of these is MITH especially with FPSThailand under their belt
No: X10C, PRX
Anything below this is a no unless some miracle happens. Most notably Paper Rex, who is in a veryyyy very tight situation right now as its a near no chance PRX on their own makes franchising. Would have to take either a buyout (roster/org) or big partnership or even just a miracle acceptance for them to make it. PRX is a small org as much as it hurts to say and theyve faced massive issues in the past with financials etc.
South Asia would also have to take a miracle for them to be accepted. Despite how big orgs are such as S8ul, GE, VLT, etc. the region alone simply isnt developed/stable enough for them to make it. Godlike alone is hurting SA due to their poaching scandal against TSM. Highest likely org to make it out of SA is Orangutan or someone like S8ul etc and to be quite honest there’s no clue whether they have a shot or not.
you can see it in either his face or his play when he starts to overheat, same with rb
true but https://twitter.com/ValorantEsports/status/1515012291229413377?t=PopQhezeG9NBLFRs0rFoeQ&s=19 cant deny hes cute af
masters buenos aires/rio
masters la
champions tokyo
lowkey these would be crazy lan locations for next year
imo a good mix of high viewership, support, playerbase, results is what id consider a major region to be
while we're here do yall think japan is a major region yet or nah?
Rb finally turns up and drx win 3-0 vs PRX in finals taking down kru nip xset fnatic loud, prx lose 13-0 13-3 13-2
to think tnl had exy, meteor and bail alongside hate eko fawn and so many other talents
not to mention that gongo prince had kobra luke and joxjo
korea has so much talent
didnt ntk/heat basically carry vk to masters 3 after the sharks loss?
genuine question, ik ntk was dropped for his sexual assault and conviction and im not condoning him as a player or his actions but how would he be on modern vk? genuinely curious and i dont endorse him in the slightest
a maru upset would be fucking insane but its so unlikely i doubt they might even take a map
wix had the game of his fucking life holy WP MARU
while you guys are here, heres a tweet by riot leader of global events when seeing the japanese crowds :) https://twitter.com/tacti_bear/status/1523060403579674627?s=21&t=W7Q53r7b0EbpH4vbGb0chQ
i assume ons approached drx first to loan him out, lakia was set to be benched following, then most likely zest made his comeback official
Korean fans come, today is a sad day.
Today the goat, k1Ng steps down from On Sla2ers for the duration of LCQ and possibly Champions :(
