oh yes, thats a good one

that was one of the reasons why zombs vs brazil became a thing, so yea deserved

nahhhhhh

Excited to see this riot prototype, the supremely built well trained PR machine from riot. he'll come publicly and answer all the tier 2 questions and it'll suddenly feel like the tier 2 problem was never big

how is something above derke when he hasnt even played on international lan yet? and even when he has played in pacific, his performances were definitely not solid enough to put him above derke ie derke performed as good as him if not better

aint every champions knife literally the same thing? same animation, different skin

thoughts? looks like a mix of 2021 vandal with 2022 phatom

optic core won one singular match in the entirety of 2021 and 2022 against an emea team(liquid with scream igl while on phoenix LUL). thats all i'll say.

prx fans stop thinking something is the second coming of messi, he's good might become the best, but he alone aint breaking records. keep your expectations from a "player" within limits

Champions 2021: Zombs vs the country of Brazil

Champions 2022: FPX with their 6th man timmy the turret

Champions 2023: ...........

what will happen this time?

and derke is 20

why arent you passionate about coding? it is actually quite fun.(considering you still consider doing bachelors in CS as an option)

you have web dev if you want to do something creative

you have normal data structures for normal software dev job

then there is ML and data science for a guy like you (good at maths)

honestly you can do bachelors and then go for masters in some IT related field, thats not a bad option either

alive

3,216,015 people and still 0 trophies

OMEGALUL

lmao

wut

how long is it? is it a week or month or a day?

yep keep t2 at a sustainable level. i honestly dont see how riot can do more for tier 2 in "NA" specifically. like the formatting and other stuff is obvious, but that has little to do with money, but more to do with their vision.

what needs support is emea and some other regions in apac, but seeing NA pros crying after they got all that viewership, money, org support etc etc is so weird to me. especially when seeing people comment about how champs prize pool being increased to 2m+ is a waste and should rather be used to support t2. like no, i want t1 to be bigger and better each year.

till when are we gonna pretend we care about t2?

i watched quite a lot of it, and its honestly boring unless it is the last final match of ascension.
its a good system to bring in a new team every year, but i cba to watch it the same way i watch tier 1.

have seen enough crying threads about t2 beign left out, but honestly i couldnt care less. i want the best of the best things to happen in the tier 1 scene, bigger prize pool, more teams, better casts, better arenas, larger crowds, better gameplay.

NA vs BR 💀💀
"yea babe can you put on tarik's stream, its mibr vs c9 today"

no they werent. asuna showed up in one international tournament ever and so did tenz, they both were shit outside of that + played against significantly weaker competition

ikr

just get him off the team

fixed it

you dont know shit about fnatic then.

alfa was brought into fnatic as the sentinel guy, it isnt some decision that was taken this year. he was always the main sentinel before fnatic and even in fnatic as long as chamber was not needed

hes been practicing it lately

i really hate such comments. like what do you think this proves? a t1 salaried pro practices ? omg? like this piece of argument some fans give is so pointless

i think he still does prefer playing normal roles, but being out their as an igl guarantees that he'll get a franchised slot

There's a saying, winner's celebrate, losers explain

haha

yes exactly. i honestly dont know why someone would watch tier 2, when a guy can watch the 3 different leagues. t2 should always be their to nurture new talent, but you just cant expect riot to treat every team in t2 like its t1

they already do much better by giving every champs team 50% of the money from the champions skin bundle. its so much better and sustainable for the orgs

literally the only streamer player to come out of NA and be actually consistently good.

tenz couldnt
asuna couldnt
subroza couldnt

werent people literally complaining last year and this year eearlier in the season about how the prize pool isnt enough for a big game like valorant. and now since the prize pool got announced everyone still is mad at them for increasing the prize pool???????

like yes t2 needs more support, but that has very less to do with what riot does for tier 1. and its quite obvious that if the tier 1 is lucarative enough more orgs will want to invest in t2.
should riot do more in every part of t2 ? yes
but does that have anything major to do with what they do with t1? no

august 31st? champs is over before that lil bro

just like your takes

xie xie

We(assuming most of us watch the english stream) havent had the chance to watch the games being live casted in english in the arena.

Turkish casters @ Champions 22
Portuguese casters @ Lock In
Japanese casters @ Masters Tokyo

we basically have only seen english casted lans once @ copenhagen

I just remember how hype the matches were at denmark. LA is gonna be really fun if we take this into account.

or tencent pulls the string can be equated to how qatar made fifa wc happen in their country? are you dumb? his ppoint was obviously not directed in the same direction. he said tencent was like qatar, while tencent has the power and money of qatar while have a playerbase with the potential like that of brazil (in football). wc happened in both brazil and qatar, but for different reasons

when will indonesia's pc market get as big as china? probably then we'll see riot's instant interest.

you'll get a tournament next year bud, no need to be sad. only thing china can do for valorant is make it more popular more big.

coz valorant is a global game. CS frogs can keep crying

not berlin. paris or madrid is the one

champions has to be in spain or france.

masters 1 can be london (not very likely), or like SEA or korea

ngl angel jett is miles more dangerous than keith chamber OMEGALUL

why americans always outdo themselves when it comes to being dumb?? the breaks are to have a clear break in between groups and playoffs and then the final one coz they have to move the entire fucktin production to another arena. well how will the double digit iq americans understand that

cry is free

istg these analysts somehow forgot how shit t1 are

no games that day

yea i genuinely think this one's gonna be better than die for you. bbno$ voice is so good

we got grabbitz again (WWWWWWWWW) with the lalalala guy, this ones going to be a banger

NAVI

(not make playoffs)

g2 can stop playing the game from today until the day gc starts, and still body NA and any team that comes from that shit region

KC with all that shittery came 7th in emea, comparing them with dfm is a disgrace, KC are better than C9
