yeah, but eg´s fracture still looks better than prx´s and i still think they are the best fracture team in the world

💀

true, instead of flyuh get uhm... mada? zellsis? xxif? clear? corey?

if vic and crashies leave the fix could be brawk and flyuh or nismo and eeiu

this one is old but nuturn vs v1

also paper rex vs g2 and the guard

zeta vs drx rematch has to be there too

ah now it makes sense

but bcoz of COVID masters become international event

this doesnt even make sense at all why would riot want to make a international event when there is a pandemic if they didnt plan it before?

eg] no changes (on main roster atleast)

loud] -aspas +havoc/askia (hopefully no changes, i swear this team could be huge long-term if aspas stays but the rumours got me this time)

c9] no changes(? (maybe -runi +flyuh and -jakee +skuba/zander/supamen but i really dont think this team should make changes rn they still improving, just not progressively enough, maybe adding a assistant)

100t] mikes to assistant +taniz/happy/engh/bonkar(? -derrek +bcj/eeiu/nature/brawk(? -stellar(? +johnqt/vanity/poised (maybe swap bang and asuna for nismo and zander at most)

nrg] i was on the heat of the moment some hours ago but ipersonally think they need no changes despite of everything because opc didnt work on their first year either until they got a entire year of grind with yay and marved, but if i had to change something then -ardiis +koalanoob/bdog/oxy/sym(?/aspas(?/narrate(?

sen] GET A COACH PLS KAPLAN IS A sub-coach +engh/happy/taniz/bonkar(? -sacy - pancada +bcj/eeiu/brawk/nature(? +johnqt/flyuh/poised/vanity (maybe this gets most people mad but -tenz + yay wouldnt be bad at all imo that leaves yay flexing sentinel and chamber with main jett and zekken on flex, or even -tenz +nismo flex and zekken on duelist)

mibr] txozin back to assistant, -frz -murizz +askia/havoc/liazzi/xand(?/aspas(?, +raafa, +bezn1/bld/matheuzin(?/qck(? (there is a world where sacy and pancada leave sentinels so -jzz -rgl +sacy +pancada and if they reunite with aspas the roster would be aspas or other duelists, sacy, pancada, raafa and a sentinel of your choice or even jzz/frz on sentinel)

furia] i wont touch this roster cuz no one knows how to fix this roster LMAO, hopefully onur joins as coach ig that would make the team improve? and idk if konan or qck should stay but meh not my problem tbh, maybe they can get aspas but dgzin isnt the problem either, maybe they can win the lottery if they make mazin initiator and get raafa as igl while konan on 6th again

kru] i think they need no changes (maybe -nagz +feniz/adverso/darker/ganter) but i´ll show you a roster and tell me what you think

keznit - duelist
kingg - flex/igl(?
mazino - initiator/flex
daveeys - sentinel/flex
melser - controller + igl/2nd caller(?

lev] they need a coach because onur left so i´ll show you 2 scenarios without kingg and mazino (without taco too but because he needs to go tier 2 tbh) because i want them on kru next year

1st team:
coach - kam1kaze assistant - bassoid
shyy/virtyy - duelist
nzr - initiator
mited - flex + igl
feniz/shyy - sentinel
darker - controller

2nd team:
coach - romanilly assistant - ruzk
shyy - duelist
nzr - initiator
rubkkoide - flash initiator / flex jett
deigara - sentinel/flex + igl
david/delz1k/puleule - controller

the guard - get an assistant or coach along josh he kinda on his own rn

bro even if they dont play on nrg we need those two on the same team fr i dont mind if sacy and pancada go back to mibr or furia tbh, all of americas needs better teams rn.

i mean the team who cares if its g2 or faze who has the slot

prx wont drop a map against any team but fnc or eg

mocking

i hope leo removes that stupid rule next year imo, 16 yo was enough tbh.

yeah, im pretty sure c9 will progress next year, but roster changes for this new roster isnt what i think could help this team out, their peak was 2021 with xeta then they swapped things and every new c9 were a disaster until this new roster, i dont think changing their most successful roster so far is supposed to be their best move but fans got undewhelmed on lcq because they think kru and lev arent contenders for c9, but imo it was just more of lev and kru's merit than c9´s downfall.

the problem of c9 is that their improvement came on waves and not progressively

did you saw rukia´s bankai animated? holy shit is it beautiful

the ascension tourney will now be on september after champions too, it makes it way more entertaining to watch tbh

well what we begged for ig, but still kinda fucked up forr teams who dont make it to ascension tourney, also there is still no reply about if they are going to make the americas ascension have more slots, because 6 is a joke for developing our region´s tier 2, specially if half the matches are just seeding.

WAIT WAIT

In the same vein, we will move Challengers Ascension to September, after Champions, so it has its own moment in the spotlight. We believe Ascension is one of the most exciting moments of the year in the VCT, as it’s the culmination of a path to pro journey and has incredibly high stakes. This change will better position it in the calendar and allow it to shine even more.

holy shit thats literally what i suggested on a thread here, wtf do they read vlr? or im just overthinking it too much?

Calendar
The second challenge we saw this year was the calendar. We ultimately don’t believe that Challenger teams are getting enough reps, which hinders their ability to develop.
For the many teams that don’t qualify for Ascension tournaments, their season ends in early June. That means more than half of the year without an official tournament to compete in. I said before that I believe that a long offseason is good — it gives pros time to rest, teams time to experiment with new strategies and players, and fans the opportunity to miss the sport. But the current break is too long. We expect to have a good amount of 3rd party tournaments during the offseason, but we understand teams need a longer calendar to justify an entire operation.
An unfortunate reality is that teams in this tier come and go depending on their results and success in Challengers. But that’s the nature of developmental and access leagues in every sport, and something we don’t expect to change. VALORANT is one of the most competitive esports in the world; getting to the top is supposed to be hard. Many will take a shot at ascending, but only the best will succeed.

did they just say they dont give a fuck about teams losing early and having nothing more to do in the year? i thinkk they are making the calendar wider but idk dude it doesnt seem like they care at all, poor choice of words ngl.

if the guys who made arcane do that movie it could be great ngl

idk dude fns lives on canada yk?

technically both derke and boaster are top 9-12 so they are and arent on the top at the same time

yeah im just flexing the fact keznit is the only player on this list who didnt make it to playoffs.

tbf purp0 in wasnt the problem, purp0 is good imo but he was just not experienced with that team at all and they fucked up all the synergy doing it.

tbf its not about seeding, looking at how the teams played blg vs nrg was a clownfest and fut vs t1 too, loud vs navi and edg vs gia were more competitive and drx vs loud prx vs edg were also great matches, its just about actually watching it all tbh, maybe both prx and drx get bombed (unlikely af) but which teams are more likely to finish 8th rn? be honest man blg and fut.

nah apac is the best region rn both prx and drx got 1st seed on the 2 hardest groups

if he didnt go nuclear against zeta on bind it could´ve been 1 free map for zeta and he also carried hard on haven, somehow everyone is blaming everything on ardiis today, his day was against zeta and yet today the other 3 players dissapeared for this game too (except victor) i know yay got us used to 70 per game but its logical to think he couldnt have saved nrg dont lie to yourselves, the meta evolved on a way that yay couldnt adapt yet, maybe there is better options than ardiis on NA tier 2 rn (i genuinely think oxy koalanoob and bdog are pretty much the same ngl) but we cant blame it all on him or wish for him to get out

nah that was hard2decipher

idk you, and i can already tell you are literally a eu flag fnc flair npc bandwagoner and still dare to talk about awful takes 💀 the only respectable user of your kind is cryozanderderrekenjoyer

not really just the fact that they have flexible players because giants has 5 tbh, but also the fact their coaching staff and igls are pretty good and has adapted their gameplans pretty good on the teams

yeah, imo its just a consequence of the actual banter but on off season im pretty sure everyone will stop baiting when teams start their rostermania

they are in the middle of both, just like how russia has some places on eu and others on asia

alfajer was better on masters which was a more competitive tournament, ofc leo is close 2nd btw and 1st on terms of util.

they have the current undisputed best player itw and also along cn and kr they have the only team on champions which succeeds with 5 players from the same country (and even if they didnt succeed this year they have a shit ton of players to try out next year and try to aim higher and even try to win it all) if it wasnt because of tr and ru which arent even eu, emea would be a big region but not near as successful because they would have to rely on poland,france and some other places to find success with a lot of talented but not proven players.

just cryo dude he is like yay but on jett

som on duelist and bring marved back to nrg pls

they used to be awesome on bind even over prx sometimes wtf happened?

thats something which needs to change imo, no matter who loses and how, riot always has to interview one of the players

Giants > Kru > Leviatan > Cloud9 > Sentinels> Furia > 100T > mibr > liquid > rest of emea LMAOOOOOOOOO

atp get ec1s back bro

its his 5th most played agent ever and he has flexed since 2021 so he had to be a raze main at some point and has to be pretty good at it

the problem since the start is that they picked 5 raze mains and made them all flex, they will need atleast another regular league untill everyone gets used to their role

💀 💀 💀

ok argument ends here, its worthless

"not even that good" beated fpx on groups which were the current champions of the previous masters and even if thats not enough they beated fnatic too, and if thats not enough, 100t also beated fnc on groups once, yeah all of this literally happened on champs 2022
