too early for ragebait bro but I do agree the state of tier2 outside EMEA is depressing in terms of support from Riot and quality of talent being produced but I guess it will get better in the future

normal polish behaviour but its kinda dumb for riot to punish him when he was already banned in game for it and it would be dumb to punish him in vct for something he said in a ranked game 3 years ago when he wasnt even in the league, surely that shit prescribed already? its up to BBL for me if they wanna punish him

or they just dont care, its an american word so americans will be more sensible to it but from my experience we understand its a bad word but since we are not american we just rip it regardless between us (never used to seriously insult a black guy), I understand the context behind it but since I am not american I am not sensible to it or care to the point of thinking its an evil word that shouldnt even be said in any situation (thats an american thing, outside america I think we can all agree its not okay to use certain insults directly to those people but thinking saying the word without it even being aimed at someone is evil is dumb), I dont think its a matter or growing or not since not everyone is as sensible to certain things

ofc its france vs emea, Riot so biased towards France in league and val

chaos is what typically happens when two coinflipping teams play each other in a game like valorant, u are so delusional if u think u will see high level games where it looks like chess like in CS when teams like PRX who cant run a default are winning tournaments

how are they not? they stomp PRX every time and they have the highest peak in APAC, the other 3 apart that arent PRX arent serious

FORZA BBL, TOMORROW WE GO CHAMPS, I HAVE SAID WORSE THINGS IN RANKED AND I HAVE INSULTED ATATURK TOO, ITS NOT PERSONAL ITS JUST RAGEBAIT

just look at EWC, they are just mentally fragile but when they have good energy they are insane

FUT fans trying to destabilize BBL before a historic match for them tomorrow hahaha, u think anyone cares about what he said in ranked almost 4 years ago

Navi are looking solid but they would have struggled to even get out of groups while Heretics if they feel like it they can win the tournament and stomp teams

pretty much, there is way more rng than league, cs or dota

you are so delusional hahahaha, China looks straight ass without a strong EDG, G2 is dominating your region without their best player and a caster as a stand in while the best team in APAC is not going to champs and the other 3 teams look wank

apac fans are the same when they are glazing their region and players (some even dared to say Jemkin and Rarga were top5 duelists hahaha) and they just call it ragebait because they live in their yellow bubble

who doesnt throw in this game? lmfao, happens every single game in which top tier players go against top tier players, this game is about knowing how to move in the chaos, its also the way BBL play its just a coinflip if it works out they look insane if it doesnt they look like idiots but these two teams look pretty good compared to the dogshit gameplay from china, americas and 3/4 pacific teams

thats valorant for u, every high level game is a shitshow this is not cs, u can kill while running with a vandal its full rng

happens in every high level valorant game but flair checks out

If you watched this match and the conclusion you drawn is that it wasnt a super high level game then u are clueless, insane individual skill on display, agressiveness and teamplay

depends on team tbf, I feel like last 2 years we are seeing more teams be agressive, BBL and TL are 1st and 3rd in terms of spike plant time wordwide (not counting CN), Heretics also play quite agressive

nats is clearly an outlier, it raises the bar slightly just like munchkin or even jamppi but lets not expect every igl to be as good as those two, Boaster and Ange1 have improved a lot this year so they are clearly feeling the pressure

after that 1v1 vs prx bro said never again, lowered his sens (finally) and has been playing like a beast for the whole stage, his aim looks so much more stable

rumour in the spanish scene is that he is planning to return next season and he is already on the ranked grind...

you guys are morons, they are just trolling, even Ibai is commenting under every player out there

they are doing this for every player out there, its just content they are the king of offseason

All just individual play, not like calling or comms or vibes or whatever.

B O A S T E R

Cant watch this without giving the government data about what my twitter account is. Thanks EU!! Road to becoming China

oh, mb G! I agree then his aiming/movement style would be pretty good at senti if he takes the the time to learn how to actually play the role from a macro perspective, xeus isnt bad even he doesnt use it that much imo

xeus is not washed at all tho, just stuck on a dead team and its kinda unlucky for him because he was farming in kickoff/stage1, wo0t is on his prime now but he also had a bad period of form earlier in the year so I think its normal for rookies, xeus just needs time and the right team around him instead of that mess of FUT coached by one of the worst coaches in history

if they get jamppi yea

ofc

rumours in the scene, basically the org has big fanbase but the its shit internally and no money, who knows tho its just rumours, also it doesnt matter only in 2027, a team with players that made champs are obviously not gonna waste another year in an org that will be out of franchise after next year (if that rumour is true) so I think they would rather take offers now that they are their peak

Direccion deportiva no es simplemente saber del juego si no tambien delegar, obviamente seran Yaba y Thinki los que scouteen jugadores y monten el equipo, Reset y los demas de Movistar Riders se encargaran de estrategia del club, proyecto y manejo de la seccion en un nivel mas dirigencial y general pero esq lo de la antigua direccion metia miedo, imponian coaches y jugadores sin tener ni idea del juego por recomendacion de amigos o fichaban a sus amigos directamente

Brother, Monster is 110% guaranteed to stay hahahahaha, everyone from Yaba, Sergio Ferra and the fans love him, he is insane player

hell nah

Sergio Ferra is close friends with Yaba and has been vouching for him to get promoted (they talk every day about things happening inside the team and plans for next year) and from what he has said "he" would like to see "he" wants an experienced IGL and another experienced player and then the other three roles get filled by either rookies or VCT players that become available in the transfer market. If I had to guess I think they will go for Unfake, yaba is close friends to zeek from his time in gonext so maybe he could be picked up but the one that seems most likely to me is Unfake given that they worked together for 2 years in Team Queso and he has proven that he can perform individually in VCT and call at a decent level with room to improve. As for pika I think he will stay in the academy to develop, he is still young and it takes times for an IGL and specially a leader to develop, I havent seen young rookie IGLs with one year of exp in the role get picked up for t1 teams in neither cs or val and that working out in my life

He is not locked but its just very likely if the whole team gets dismantled given that he and Yaba are best friends and KOI wanted to have both together before thinki got picked up by BBL. This info all comes from Sergio Ferra stream who is the KOI costreamer and kaquka who is in the watchparties at times, nothing is set in stone but its just all very likely to happen since I doubt BBL care about keeping an assistant coach, obviously if BBL somehow manage to keep Jamppi and PAL who are the heart of the team then they will keep everyone most likely.

For those who dont speak spanish and are unaware of whats happening in KOI.

• First year in VCT the roster was built by Rogue after they had a fusion with KOI (who still owe content creators like Sergio Ferra thousands of euros from unpaid salaries), very important that the original KOI VCT players like sheydos ands starxo were on huge contracts with no clauses to have those reduced if they were benched (thanks Rogue) so they had to "tank" them.

• Second year in VCT they were caught in the middle of splitting with Rogue and having a triple fusion with Movistar Riders and Overactive Media (Mad Lions) so they couldnt invest much in the team and had bad timings because the fusion was done in the offseason so they had to tank that year which is why they invested in young talent like kamo and grubinho.

• This year the roster was built by the old Madlions/Overactive media management who are not spanish and are completely out of touch with the club and its spanish part (Movistar Riders), thanks to the LEC team calling these people out and all the bad things they had done (u can go check all that drama if u want but its crazy and too long to explain) so they have gotten fired and the spanish part of Movistar Riders (same ones who built the historic Movistar Riders CS lineups or the KOI LEC team) are now in charge of the VCT team.

• As for KOI VCT 2026 its pretty straight forward, in spanish community its an open secret that Yaba (academy coach and one of the best coaches in all of european t2 for years) will be promoted and have thinki (current BBL assistant coach) as his assistant (for those who dont know its rumoured from people in VCT that BBL will disband and jamppi/pal go to vitality with minny, its pretty unlikely that BBL manage to keep that roster together or even stay in VCT since Riot are not happy with how they have been running things internally, probably has to do with berlin offices investment etc), Olizera very likely to comeback to KOI since he will this week in the KOI live costream of the VCL final four at LAN in Spain, Globex very likely to be promoted and then they will probably invest big in getting the right duelist/IGL and 2-3 players to complete the roster while they continue to invest in their academy project.

es lo que han hecho echando a todos los guiris del antiguo mad lions, ahora la direccion deportiva esta en manos de reset y la gente de movistar riders

dont get me wrong, wackie and anguist are not bad players by any means but there are much more interesting players out there in t1 or t2 that BBL could look for tbf, its just from experience playing against most of these players I feel like u should only replace this version of Magnum (who has a lot of experience, better firepower and more flexibility/ideas than he used to have) for a clear upgrade like chiwa, minny, westside or players of that calibre. As for sentinels in t2 I like rextonned ngl, he is one teams should look at for next year considering he will never get promoted for obvious reasons

battle of MID

Respectfully you have some really bad takes about which players are good from EMEA t2, also 0 chance Pacific can afford having a team in franchise let alone pick up Comeback. Comeback, lar0k and loita will go to good franchise teams, I dont think any of them stays to waste a year fighting relegation specially Comeback who wont be cheap and clearly doesnt seem very keen on playing with those guys after the things he said after joining Gentlemates and leaving mid season

delusional, miniboo is direspect af by the fact that u put him at the level of those players, elite has been good for the last couple months and at his peak he is one of the best sentinels in emea, marteen even at his peak is bang average

can they even change players mid split? I dont think so unless its academy players, also Engh will be the death of KC in valorant if he doesnt get kicked asap and they let Saadhak take the reins, that guy has a marteen fetish when he is among the worst duelists in the league

Kr1stal is not a good igl as of now, sh1n is mediocre at best there are like 10 better smoke players in t2 emea alone and cyvoph is mediocre too, the biggest problem with cyvoph is that he is a retard and he doesnt get along with sayonara so there is 0 chance a team with those two together works out. Kicks is not a phenomenon but he does his role well, has good aim and sacrifices for the team to work, he is really good friends with less and I feel like u will need a teamplayer like kicks once sayonara comes in since he is a bit more individualistic just like less. When you build teams its not just getting good players and it will work out like its fifa career mode, just because u get a bunch of good names together doesnt it will work out.
Unfake, Derke, Less, Sayonara and Kicks is a good place to start from since u could make changes mid season if needed, is Kr1stal better individually than Unfake? Not by much and Vitality dont lack firepower, what Vitality need is an IGL/coaching staff and team players, Sayonara and Less play a lot for themselves and they do bait a little so its already a risk to have them both together in the same team so u need to compensate heavily with the other three players unless Sayonara wants to play smokes and be on more of an agressive role

asked

awful and clueless team, sayo playing with cyvoph hahaha keep dreaming with kr1stal as igl who cant win a game all year and his former team is looking good even without him, all vitality needs to do is get a good coaching staff the players believe in and -kovaq +sayonara, u wont get a better igl than unfake realistically, maybe u could consider kicking kicks but he has chemistry with less and derke + he is a bitch player that just does anything for the team and is solid individually, I think Vitality need to learn from their mistakes and build a team instead of a collection of individuals and this takes time so just keep building on this with a better staff, I dont feel like they are playing awfully rn but they just havent had the time to build anything with getting a new igl mid season and constant changes

is it mandatory for americans to be retarded?

one of the worst duelists in the league

get new eyes if u genuily think this, btw gentlemates are good individually but they have choked every single match

holy mid

He will go back to KOI now that he is a free agent, they let him leave to Apeks because they knew they would get relegated so it would be good for him to get one stage of experience in VCT before he goes back to KOI once Yaba becomes the headcoach and Reset becomes the sporting director now that Till and all his paycheck stealer friends have been fired, for those who dont know all the former directors/staff from the Overactive Media (parent company of Mad Lions who merged with KOI and Movistar Riders a year ago) have been fired and the directors/staff from the spanish part of KOI (former Movistar Riders) will take over the VCT/LEC teams which is a huge W, they are some of the most competent people in all of European esports, they were the ones who reached an IEM Cologne semifinal a couple years ago with a fully spanish roster which was something unthinkable for anyone who knows spanish CS and they are the ones who gave a chance to Sunpayus (HLTV top6 2023) and always put up a fight with that Movisar Riders CS team by qualifying to big events even if spanish cs is dead, also the same people who scouted all of the spanish KOI LEC players so they def know what they are doing. Sucks for simoz and baddyg because they have proven themselves but I think its inevitable that KOI promote yaba, move monster back to smokes, sign back Olizera and potentially promote other players or spend big for proven t1 stars, for those who dont speak spanish Ibai said KOI as an org are trying to make a financial effort by benching players who are on huge contracts/sign new players because turning things around in their VCT section is a big priority for them so I think with the new staff, their academy team and the org willing to invest money we could see them become a serious team next year
