Basing this purely on fragging is a quick way to say you don't know much about the game. Sorry if that hurts you.

Because it's not their role. I'm guessing koldamenta isn't good because he's not a massive fragger. Neither is Enzo? By that logic, I guess 90% of other players suck too.

Gimme your top 10 EMEA fraggers, how many of them are from the same country?...

Soulcas, ardiis, L1NK, deph, Mistic, boaster

I guess none of them are good though?

Placing 1 to 4 at international events and winning EMEA (and NA) events isn't good enough.

"British and nothing else"

Loooool do you know how immigration works?

Lfg Bleed!

Damn it

11-1 curse xD

Someone is about to tell you to cope harder...

Not me. But definitely someone...

It's not in the bag.

Guild haven't won a tournament in EMEA yet and now they're contending with:

• acend who are known to just pull off freakishly good performances out of no where. The most fluky team as some of you say.

• improved m3c with jady maybe?

• improved liquid who they've traded series with for a while

EMEA lcq looks insanely tough. Not free for any team.

Lmaoooo

No offense, but I struggle to see why people have so much faith in NAVI.

Also facts

He literally tweeted for months that it was his personal decision to relocate to NA and liquid supported him.

Where are you getting the opposite from.

Respectfully, you've pulled this statement out of your ass. You have zero proof of this, it's just an idea you have.

There aren't enough viewers in the EU who give a fuck about Val streamers like that anyway. Just watch NA streamers.

We don't give that much of a fuck about streamers here. It's cool, but we don't tune in religiously like NA does.

How did that upper bracket work out for you?

Fucking weirdo, stop deeping people's flairs.

And you're wrong anyway

Supernova scout man

Muted him on Twitter months ago for cringe tweets. Wasn't aware that he was this unlikeable :X

Link pls, never seen that before

Don't talk to me like that. You're my failure of a son

Liquid losing to a Turkish team is like trump at a women's march

Lies

It's not just about player base.

And where are you guys getting player base stats from anyway? Because riot sure doesn't publish those numbers. 3x Larger population does NOT equal 3x larger player base. Lots of other factors affect this.

Because the crowd want to see players IRL.

Sure, there are some people willing to pay to look at eSports on cinema screen, but enough to justify the cost of a big venue? Probably not

Get off vlr

Get over it.

I'll probably only 2 of these through though

Not just spray pattern. Movement physics and models too.

Small indie company.
Last year's lcq LAN was a shit show. Fraud online "Lan" servers plus COVID.

EMEA

Literally feel like it could be any of the 8 teams participating

Hmmm, no judgement. Let's just let wait and see

Same guy who said Optic looked weak going into Reykjavik and they won the tournament. While his team was...oh...nevermind. bit of a clown this guy is.

Putting the L in Liberal

It's not a magic pill by any means.

If they scrim in EMEA more, they won't just magically become better. It's not like NA and EMEA Valorant styles are all that different. Optic seem to be hexed Vs European teams, but don't forget that sentinels and 100t have wins against a couple of EU teams.

Overall player quality and mental state under pressure matters boat load. You can't just fix these by playing in a "better" region.

DRX had their worst showing at an international tournament after a longer than usual bootcamp for champs.

We are all tribal and prideful, irrational yes, but it is what it is

How to keep it alive?

Reset everyone's expectations about what tier 2 eSports really is.

Part-time jobs at best. because if orgs can't make money or get any palpable and meaningful brand exposure from having a mid tier team, they have exactly zero reason to invest in it.

Prize money from the very masters is barely even worth it for mid size / large orgs.

Hello

That would make sense if that's the case here.

Ty

Big respect and epic bounce back

C-c-c-cope harder bozo.

You're a disgrace to your region

GG to both teams, fucking insane finals.

Fpx let's goooo!

Your name goes too hard

Just clowns period*. The flag doesn't matter. Clown is clown

GG to Optic. Better team won today, but they still had a hell of a tournament run. And they have an international title, which is more than most others can and will ever have.

Gratz to my EMEA gang though. Fpx were insane

1. We don't know if they will or won't yet.
2. NA orgs invest a shit load more when compared to orgs from other regions. So it's less sustainable for them.

These are the reasons why we haven't seen lots of orgs from APAC / EMEA leave valo yet.

SUYGETSU hopped off the plane late just to send FNC back on one early

Rare W by you sir.

OP is just asking to get clowned in the Optic win. dumbass
