Why would you want Acend to win if you can have TL win. It's just better for the scene, and yes also for the viewers very few people rooted for Acend

There is gonna be 4 non partnered in a 14 team league which is not that far away from those 6

There is no viewer perspective without an org perspective. if there's no orgs there's no scene

1st I would like to see Scarz play MAD Lions and see how big that difference actually is
2nd Dropping 138 is also harder than 27

I think franchising is perfectly fine, the only real problem is the long off season, but wtf does franchising have to do with that, that’s just poor planning. Same with tier 2, franchising is not the issue, it’s the circuit

People just uses franchising to as an excuse to blame on all of Valorant problems, when in reality franchising is the only thing giving some stability to this game which as you guys know are going through a a crisis due to the esports bubble exploding. The amount of huge orgs financially unstable is insane, franchising is a great way to give those orgs a guarantee when they invest

Something had way worse teamates

2021 is gotta be a GMB player for sure imo, 2 finals. Probably Chronicle

Yeah, 19 next month
Dryad's 23

I just can't support LOUD because NA is gonna claim the victory

If It’s not an EU team I hope it is EDG or PRX

He desperately needs to be put back into Initiator

Mazino Initiator instead of Klaus, that's his prime and he is a much better player

Yeah, several Lev players date some of the LATAM casting team

Shy is her boyfriend I believe, just as a random fact xD

He is not leaving Giants in a long long time

But actually fun fact judging by where he is from he probably also speaks a very decent Portuguese, might not be completely fluent but he has had to study Galician in school his whole life

Just trying to make fun cause those mf ranked them 15th and 14th on their power rankings

Nah why do you think they had him on raze on Split for a while and then switched again. Because Fiti has a better Raze? Definitely not Nukkye's Raze is far superior, it's because even with kayo, Fiti had to be the one entering the site

Org expectations by the start of the season were "making playoffs". Even qualifying to champs was seen as a major victory and extra achievement, but not the main one.

Ty man

Strongly disagree, Jingg is a pure entry, enters and kills everybody. Nukkye baits his teammates into entering and then kills everybody. Different

Sentinel is the perfect role for Nukkye, literally it could not fit him more. Selfish player that loves to play for himself, alone, focus on his crosshair and play the maximum amount of clutches possible

Hoody specifically wanted to be the sentinel and that's what he asked for when he was signed but with the time the team realized Nukkye is much more fit for it

The problem of those teams is not role clash. At least not in Giants case

Some people still say aspas is better than Less

Not too sure about the "cheaper"
Whole FPX core (4 players and coach) costed NAVI about the same as C9 paid for yay's leg

Well if FUT groups doesn't count then EG's group doesn't either sod that means NA doesn't have teams in playoffs?

Worse Champions NRG
Worse Year probably NAVI, if we count both events the same. If we consider Champions more important then also NRG

Me and my friends have never lost to FNC twice in a row either

Guess it varies but for sure 31 is not a retirement age

You're right Lw need to be younger, but I'd say 26 to 30 should be the prime of most field players career

Nowadays good players can very well retire at 34/35

Neymar is 31, Ronaldo is 38
Not the same at all, 31 should be the prime of your career

Giants didn’t get owned either. Won a game unlike LCQ teams from other regions and gave a great fight to EDG in the first game

Well he couldn’t even save DSG from demotion, imagine if he is supposed to save NRG lmao

1 “FUT made it out of a weak group with FPX and T1”
What group do you think EG was in lol

2 “How does a region with 5 seeds only have 2 go to playoffs”
NA #2 didn’t manage to qualify, are you suggesting if C9 Sen and 100T were here they would have made it???? Lool

3 Despite EMEA having 5 slots, EMEA is the only region not to have a single team leave without winning a game, what does that say about our depth?

Sure lol

1 India does not play esports
2 Riot is Chinese
3 There is millions of Chinese viewers

If you think China won't have its own VCT you're delusional. China has more people than Americas and EU

You getting 4 region vs region matchups don't even doubt it

At least that is good for valorant, pretty even

Not the case, Fiti is Giants flag, he would have to go 0-100 a whole season to bench him. He was crying because he let his teammates and fanbase down and was disappointed with himself

Bili bili is the Chinese twitch if i'm now wrong, like if twitch had a team

First of all you attacked me first, second of all is as easy as typing "deserve earthquakes" on the forum search bar

China will 100% have a VCT league next year that's no doubt

I'm saying more teams at champs = more teams at playoffs. It's like if you send me to represent EMEA, you can't send 10 random dudes and say EMEA had 10 slots more dogs hit region

https://www.vlr.gg/174229/na-dont-worry
Oh yeah sure, idk what's worse if saying it or then hiding

You literally said Turkey deserved earthquakes idk how are you even still on the fucking site

So if you bring 10 teams we count 100T and MIBR not making playoffs? I don't think that's how it works

Yeah what? We didn't have an team go 2-0

Having 10 teams is not gonna make it more likely that you get more into playoffs, doesn't work like that

Yeah he went to the picks and bans but are we sure? Like he doesn't seem to be talking much

And also Riot always puts the IGL in the middle of the hud, always, so it's kinda weird

No way, is it whzy???????

BiliBili probably has more fans than NRG overall as an org
