1. Because this was never supposed to be a "who has more trophies" kind of voting, at least in my head it wasn't. It was supposed to reflect which team had the highest peaks, performances and talent throughout the VCT. So while 2025 isn't over and not every event has a winner, we have seen good, even great teams form this season.

2. I guess not memorable enough for me. Sorry :p

You don't have to take the game so seriously. There are only a handful of games you should really be trying.

Don't fight the matchmaking algorithm.

You will win 40% of the time, no matter what, due to good teammates. You will lose 40% of the time, no matter what, due to bad teammates. That 20% is where you want to conserve energy and try hard.

Hey guys,

I want to start baiting on here, it seems like fun! But the issue is, I don't want to make flor bait threads, it feels like low-hanging fruit. Too easy.

Any idea what I could say to rile the community up and get some fun interaction?

I would like to be more involved in the community and be a goober!

Fair. I'm just in awe of the tactic. It really is a generational bait.

Can't hate bait that takes effort. One of the best I've ever seen personally. Guy vod-reviewed 20 rounds of GX vs Apeks. I couldn't do more than 3 before jumping out of a window.

"Jarvis, I'm running low on interaction. Initiate flor thread on VLR"

I've seen a lot of people say this, but in my head, its not about the gameplay, it's about the talent and cohesion of the teams. At the end of the day, these are professionals and its their job to adapt to the game, and there are plenty of examples of players from 2021 who are still playing at a high level.

These older teams wouldn't just be teleported and instantly get into the current game. They'd be at their individual peaks and be familiar with the current meta.

But then again, these are all hypotheticals so think how you want.

I unfortunately can't control every factor. I'll try to do it midday and have it as balanced as I can.

POLLING CLOSED

I want to do a fun game and see the consensus of the best team in Valorant. I have a bracket created of all the top teams from each year, winners, and runners-up. I also have promising teams picked out for 2025 since the season is not finished. The seeding is completely random, and a few teams will get a bye for the first round, completely random, no bias.

Assume that each team is in full form and playing on the latest patch of the game.

The first matchup:

2021 Gambit vs 2022 LOUD

Please vote for your team down below. I will close poll in 20 minutes, any votes past that will not count.

I mean, I'm not sure why we're talking about it like she's not a kid. She literally just turned 18.

It's not about losing, and to boil it down to that single thing is braindead. We're not involved in the team conversations or what she's thinking of.

Shit I don't blame her for taking break either. She's been playing nonstop throughout her teens, competing and missing out on the chance to be a regular kid. She also just moved entire continents and left her support system behind to pursue her goals. It probably doesn't help that she gets more backlash, attention, and hatewatchers than the average player.

If I have all of these factors in my life, and every time I lose, nerds on twitter and VLR are going "haha see I told you HE wasn't Tier 1 worthy" or watching my every move and hoping I stumble, I'd leave too. That shit sounds exhausting.

ON TOP OF THAT, VCT organizers and her fans set her up by showing every highlight among losses and forcing her down viewers throats. Everything that has combined for her is not a recipe for success.
