I don't think PRX would do that from a business point of view, bc despite their lack of success and popularity in the CS scene, their clout increased exponentially when they made deep runs in international events. I think it's best that they stay in Valorant and make roster changes if necessary/there is no other option

I think u should start looking for jobs even if u don't reach 100 upvotes

G2 isn't really Tier 2, however their original core (The Guard) was in Tier 2 and won Ascension (which is a Tier 2 tournament if u think about it)

That's what I thought too. Many people here do not realize the business point of view of the franchised partner teams. I'm very surprised a business-minded person is in vlr of all sites.

I wouldn't either, but they technically came from Tier 2 (since they weren't part of the franchising partnership)

what even started this thought?

The year is 2025 and G2 has reached a grand final, indicating that Tier 2 talent is on par with the skill level of Tier 1 players. This is a good sign for the valorant esports scene, and an inspiration for many casual and competitive players to assemble a premier team and try to reach the highest level of competition in the esport.

I've never seen anyone come up with that answer before. But that's very smart to begin with!

will u give a roster enough time to start showing good results or are u going to get rid of it immediately?

I think Tejo could be good for info.

I was freaking out when I watched CGRS' shorty clutch

Поздравляю! (ik ur not russian tho)

I want DFM to make an international final tho (this is unrealistic let me live in my fantasy)

leaf isn't overrated

I would say it would be ZmjjKK rn

what in the zjos

T1
DRX
GenG
NS
Talon
DFM
RRQ
GE
TS
PRX
Zeta
Boom

this is my list

I've never seen so much people saying G2 got robbed, the stats do point out that G2 were better, but T1 also lacked international experience and just kept going with them playing so much agents, proving how diverse the meta can truly be

In my eyes, T1 deserved to win. But I'm not going to be surprised if G2 is going to be stronger for the rest of the year

iirc a fallcy is a faulty reasoning/misleading argument

NS vs SEN would also be close tho

CN teams are also getting better

Hopefully Hals and Aace are on a Tier 1 team soon (FL winning Ascension?)

I think it's the management....... roster changes aren't always approved by management of teams

he had an illness

those weren't flukes either

I would say Sylvan is a huge x-factor for T1's run

this masters was far from being a fluke. best masters event in terms of unpredictability, best grand final ever aside from LOCK//IN!

It's the same with every region, really

is it crazy to say I want one of EDG/TLN/LOUD/MIBR or KRU to win it? I like the asian and south american teams a lot, and I think they have what it takes to make a deep run in the event

better already in terms of communication, I think thyy and Killua will perform very well for the team, I think they can qualify for Masters Toronto if they do beat some of the echelon of upper mid table teams to top teams (DRX, GEN)

I don't think ur takes are............ well "perfect"......... it's more of how ur takes are............ not very agreeable

I think u have some takes that are overboard just a little bit, I think takes should just be hot and that's it. It doesn't have to be very over the top, if yk what I mean

I don't think DFM would win against SEN lol. But if that happens that would be pretty funny

do u perhaps hold a grudge against him? I think u should be a little bit nicer towards him if that is the case......

rn TH would win if that were to happen

yellow_donkey is NOT D tier tho

T1 didn't peak yet, they almost lost the Grand Final 3-1......

dear gamergirl, what even started this

I don't think it's the agent that's the problem, maybe ppl don't know how to use the agent

just play agents that can mesh with Reyna (that's what I did during the Iso buff)

I think that's a good sign that u need to take a break from val

take a break bro, tilt queueing isn't good for ur valorant skills

bc at this rate even I don't believe that Riot is going to do anything to fix these. A bit depressing to say this but it's the truth

I don't think SEN are going to win the next international event (Masters Toronto), but I think they will get Top 3

V - vacuous
L - lobotomy
R - recency bias

hey, that's a pretty good acronym!

daily reminder that a rematch is very hard to win against a team that is well prepared against all of ur strats and antics. Come on bro, the losses were very close......... the scorelines don't reflect the match at all, both matches despite EDG struggling a little bit is still fun to watch!

maybe it's because of some fans thinking that success = how good an entire region is.

keep in mind that a region consists of 10+ countries at minimum. Basically disregarding how talented these subregions are when merged into a big region

that would be pretty cool but annoying to face in ranked. Interesting to see how the new agent will be utilized in pro play

I think Mercury will shock the universe by getting a high placed finish

it won't hurt the rich orgs that much

I'm sure that peak viewership will be during the lower bracket final and the grand final
