you're telling me the max slots KR can have is 3? and T1 is also one of those slots...

the region that had 6/8 teams in playoffs now get 3 teams max. whole region about to go back to 2023 lock in form wow

only way to get people to watch that evil ass game

dawg what are you even saying. 3 trophies from one country is definitely overperforming

it's like Loud signing Laz and stax, then adding Jinggg as a coach and forcing them all to speak english

tenz, crashies, buzz, stax, izu, sacy (coach)

probably a little better but they still have the overinflated salary issue like japan

pacific have complete wastes of slots with GAM/CR/ZETA and china suck ass meanwhile you learn about a new emea/americas superteam every week. reminds me of 2023 valorant before lockin

FNC win Seoul, SEN win Valencia, M8 win Austin. gg fricking ez

enzyme stuff

honestly ochem is overhated, gen chem was worse imo

calc 2 was bad but calc 3 was light

genuinely what do u like about it im curious

most of the time I’d agree but I’d honestly kill to write an essay instead of memorize ts

genuinely might be the most evil class ever conceived

bipo, starxo, and nAts in any igl role

cause oda forgot how to write post time skip

off topic but wtf is that logo, do the fans even think it looks good?

makes sense riot love that org. rip filipino fans tho guess the family business ruined them

JP does not deserve as many slots as KR. one has 3 masters while the other has the longest loss streak of any partnered team. 2 JP slots is a handout

Americas 8.5/10 - KRU didn't deserve partnership
EMEA 9/10 - predictably boring team selections but nothing bad
Pacific 6/10 - no DRX is crazy, FS/RRQ are mid orgs to represent SEA again, and 2 JP slots is underserved. glad to see CR back and TS gone though
China 9.5/10 - would have preferred Wolves over TE but the rest are great choices especially XLG

honestly not bad considering riot's track record

ludwig x tarik invitational

if I had to guess I’d say along with FNC, BBL, and TH they select VIT, TL, M8, and KC. the last slot goes to either FKS for a DACH rep, FUT for another TR rep, or Falcons for a MENA rep depending how they want to pivot

they don’t but they’ve got popularity and already got invited to RBHG which only has partnered teams

doubt it, I think it’ll be 2 KR, 2 JP, and 4 SEA. GENG is too big a brand for an org like FS to get in over them

I think it’ll be: T1, GENG, CR, ZETA, PRX, RRQ, FS, and TS

just making sure his nephew Asuna still has a job in this economy ❤️

mfs wanted to run it back with skadoodle and brax lol

they're my favorite lol team so that's fake news bud

only org that I could realistically see getting a slot over DRX/NS. probably just going to be 2 JP teams and 4 SEA teams though

shocking news

it’s still slots being wasted

they have to rely on orgs like FS and RRQ to actually scout T2 talent while DRX/NS sit out

it’ll be like 2023 all over again where half the Pacific teams are just filler cause the orgs suck

face of Asian Valorant along with PRX

-2nd best Asian team all time
-GC investment
-Academy team investment
-Consistently scout T2 to make competitive rosters unlike half of Pacific

guess they just wanted Termi’s bumass gone

Who gonna tell him

FS
RRQ
PRX
TS
DRX
GENG
T1
ZETA

think this is a pretty safe bet, I’d be surprised to see anything else cause riot are lame asf

100T, G2, MIBR, FNC, and FS are all in. possibly FKS too but not sure on the source

that’s why their least likely. I just remembered them having a team at one point

pretty much locks: LYON, C9, FaZe, SR

other orgs I could see investing from most to least likely: M80, FLY, NV, FUR, EG, TSM, LG, XSET, OPTC, DIG

any other notable orgs I’m missing that could invest?

and yet they’ve achieved more, KRU honestly hasn’t been relevant since 2021

I’m just glad S8UL got rejected that logo is atrocious

deadass the C9 of South America that sometimes steals a champs slot

MIBR better not have died for this

the new open quals + less meta changes + bringing back a focus on individual regions could save vct

3rd time these two teams have played each other this event and yet I feel no hype
we don’t have rivalries, storylines, or interesting personalities anymore, it’s just a bunch of “likable” no personality rookies.

hate players like shahzam, boostio, and wardell all you want but they actually made this game interesting to watch

Chronicle getting flamed for having ethics and playing an agent fairly instead of running it down brainlessly with a shotgun like a console player just goes to show how much the balancing of this games sucks

you guys are the most braindead fanbase behind PRX acting like it’s not a bo5. I know a VIT 3-1 when I see it

come back when Chronicle match MVPs

he plays neon fairly*

NS was just the start, now we got teams like 100T fully meta abusing. makes me sick to my stomach

emea get punished for playing true valorant with actual strats per usual

no point in learning about a player i dont even think is good now

loud are genuinely not even a good team, it's just a bunch of meh players peaking at the same time just like NS

not to mention they suspiciously have riot on their side because they bring viewership...

sucks that we have to watch an na slop match, any recommendations for what to watch instead?

looking for some quality entertainment

kr lowkey deserves 3 slots. too much talent between geng/t1/drx/ns/vl/ons to donate a slot to ts
