Ok AND? WHAT IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM WITH A DIFFERENT ORG BUYING OUT PLAYERS WHO MAKE TIER 1? I do not give a fuck about what team name or org is used. I don't care what shitty brand is involved. I want to see the best players, that's it. The Guard roster won Ascension, they were the best tier 2 team and now that roster deserves to be in tier 1. I do not give a fuck what team they call themselves. I do not care if some dogshit team buys them up and moves up to tier 1. NOBODY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THE ORGS IT'S JUST THE PLAYERS.

The rule you had to keep 60% of the roster expired after Split 1. It is not my job to educate you on what has already happened so please stfu

Fuck the orgs. Orgs don't win games or create tactics. The wins and trophies belong to the players. If some team like OPTC or more likely G2 has the cash and the desire to sign The Guard roster that is the best solution. "all orgs trying to ascend this year" is just a pointless line of thought. The Guard roster should be looking for new orgs to play under, RIOT should just fuck off and let them find an org.

Bruh it works that way for tier 2. If you and 4 friends win Open or Closed Quals, you have that spot. It should work the exact same for tier 1. The spot belongs to the players who won. Your I-phone red-herring is laughable. You sir have zero braincells

M80 CEO and Goober fans calling for them to ascend instead of The Guard. Sure it's better than 10 teams, but it doesn't address the problem whatsoever. The Guard roster should be allowed to stay in tier 1, orgs should be competing with each other to sign this roster and enter tier 1. Any solution that doesn't involve The Guard Players and Coach being allowed to compete for a new org in tier 1 is a bad solution. No hate to M80, tbh if they just won ascension this would all be wayyyyy more simple. It would be awesome to see that team in tier one, but moving them up in place of the roster that actually won Ascension is idiotic.

Riot you cannot fucking convince me there are no orgs that want to adopt The Guard roster and move up. I know technically ascension spot goes to the org not the players, but that was a dumbass way to do it from the start. Every single Tier 2 partner org from last year would jump at the chance; FaZe, G2, SR, TSM (Prob not M80 but who knows). Even content creator orgs or orgs not even in Valorant at the moment would compete for this opportunity. This is completely unfair to the players and coach at The Guard. Riot literally makes the rules up as we go and they can't find a way to keep one team in tier 1? It's also unfair to every single tier 2 team in NA, BR, or LATAM. The Union and M80 were both solid teams that could have gotten this spot, and every other team worked so hard to place well in Challengers and try to make it to Ascension. If Riot wants to kill tier 2 can they just pull the fucking plug already? There's no fucking point in watching Challengers and Ascension if this is the end result. FUCK THE GUARD ORG AND FUCK RIOT. FIX YOUR SHIT.

I love the competition and rivalry between NA and SA teams but you are right. Both regions need their own path to quals and their own tier 2 path to ascension. o7 Loud, MIBR, Furia, Leviatan, Kru.

Bro said it with his chest 💀. The fine gotta be nasty for that, Zellsis did the two hands in Americas league and got -5k. This tournament has waaay more viewers, -50k incoming. o7

NRG is a pendulum team. They play like absolute dogshit against teams they should win against and they play amazing against teams that are better than them. NRG the kind of team to almost lose to BLG one game then upset FNATIC the next. Please let this be truthium and not copium

Nice, need to retire now

I swear I'm gonna buy the champs bundle plz

thank you king

First half of the album is painfully mid with forced samples that are only slightly redeemed by Travis's verses. Second half of the album is a masterpiece Parasail - Til Further Notice is amazing. OP Topia Twins might be the worst song on the album lmao

Do we actually have any power? Lots of complaints about tier 2 schedule, tier 2 incentives, tier 1 schedule, gc schedule, gc incentives, partner program. Plus Leo Faria referring to The Guard as a new team is just the cherry on top. Does Rito read this site? Do they know how bad and out of touch they are? Please for my sanity let ANYONE ELSE make the schedule next year.

ZELLSIS DADDY

Sliggy cursed them no way Leviathan win :(

They are both really great IGLS :)

Pearl, Lotus, and Fracture are wild.

bonkers and North Korea flairs = 10/10 troll. Good luck fishing

Steel was IGL for the first game of Split 2 vs OXG

Bring back icebox and breeze remove bind and lotus

Which DSG players have we collectively decided to throw under the bus?

MIBR I love you

OOO SHIT OUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY NOT JUST BE LIMITED TO MYSELF? OH SHIT IF I DO SOMETHING WRONG THAT COULD HAVE IMPLICATIONS FOR OTHERS?????? NO WAY! Don't reply to this koromast I'm done trying to explain ethics to you

Not once I have I said raafa, askia, or guhrvn did anything. Idk if this is a translation issue or if you are just dumb

YOU DO WHAT TO THE KIDS???? KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Nobody cares about the other players, they seem fine and they play good. This is completely about Riot, The Union Org, as well as NTK and Pancc making bad choices. If The Union got kicked out of Ascension cause of Pancc that would suck for the other players, but doing nothing is equally as wild.

Oh no our actions have consequences??? HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?

Here is your medal for discovering Pancc was a bad person earlier than everyone else 🥇

W take remove this goofball

I wasn't watching BR 2 months ago bozo. The most important thing any of these SA t2 teams have done is play against M80 and The Guard. NPC discovers that with a larger audience there is more backlash for past mistakes.

WAAAAAYYYYY too many Brazil flairs trying to justify this.

Bruh u annoying fr

It will be a FNATIC era until they get bored or decide to chase the bag. I can see Sentinels or some NA team offering Derke or Leo a bazillion dollars to play for them. I think they stay together as a squad for a few years though.

2/5 troll lost me at Faze

Are we really just going to ignore the fact that EG with it's current roster is #2 in the world? Everyone saying drop C0M is clueless, he's not having his best game against the undisputed best team in the world. Chill out.

Yeah pick order is wrong but the maps will probably be the same. Pearl and Fracture banned, FNC pick Lotus, EG pick Split, FNC pick Bind, EG pick Ascent, Haven decider.

China's teams are not all that bad what is everyone complaining about? 2/3 Teams are probably going to be EDG and ASE. EDG made it to playoffs plus kang kang is so fun to watch. ASE got grouped but they took a map off of FUT. The final team will probably be similar or equal quality to ASE. Not that bad can maybe 2-1 your favorite team with some luck.

I Was Crazy Once. They Locked Me In A Room. A Rubber Room. A Rubber Room With Rats. And Rats Make Me Crazy.

I think the LCQ should be reworked next year. Get rid of extra slots for your region from winning lock in/masters. Maybe have all regions compete in one LCQ tournament. Anything but this please Riot.

Was about to reply this. SA has a for sure spot in the Upper Finals but so does NA. The only mistake I see is putting Lev ahead of Furia. Furia has beat Lev twice and they had the same place finish in playoffs. Furia and C9 should be the teams with the priority.

Yeah not to EMEA one team region cope, because EMEA isn't a one team region. However the competition is a lot better in Pacific and Americas. The 5th-10th place teams in these regions are closer to the top 4 than the 5th-10th place EMEA teams. I just can't think of a 5th EMEA team that I want at Champions ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Not the first Americas team I would have picked but that story would be hype.

THE CURSE WORKED. WKWKWKWKWK GO PRX!

Bro just check the stats from the TL vs EDG game. EDG lose but Kang Kang dropped 68 kills.

Riot needs a new script. Also rewarding random ass teams for wins from FNATIC makes no sense. I want whatever Riot was smoking when they made this format.

Assuming NRG beat PRX, Americas and EMEA are grand final. 1 team from each region makes it from LCQ beside EMEA or Americas, but which team (any region) really deserves the final spot?
