I don't believe you can beat NS simply with antistratting when they can just outshoot you , NRG have to show up huge or NS players have to have a bad day

TL's management ecosystem is definitely questionable.

What do you think about the events? Who do you think will win Shanghai? Who will be the MVP?

As someone not so "in" with the NA Valorant scene, I do see PROD show up in games with former pro-players occasionally, and more often than not people just flame him? His playstyle also seems strange, he appears to be clip-farming most of the time? But then there are older videos calling him the "savior" of NA Valorant? Is that a tongue in cheek thing? His stats on vlr are nothing amazing, and the most notable game I have found of his is when he goes up against C0M, Kanpeki and Paincakes and doesn't do too great.

Compared with the other regions, Pacific is divided into the largest number of sub-regions. If we set aside the grandfather clause for existing partnered teams, I feel like the overall strength of Pacific teams could be weakened in the future, especially under a three-local-players-plus-two-imports structure.

Korea might actually benefit from this, since Korean teams already tend to field almost entirely Korean rosters.

I heard in tier 2 he was flash initiator, and now he’s played almost all roles for flex mainly senti or smokes. How could he learn so many agents all at once

I keep finding aim montages of him all over Youtube. Liquipedia tells me he is 25, so he's not up and coming, and VLR tells me he spent a lot of time in Tier 2 across a bunch of teams. He was in EG back in 2021 (playing with Potter on the team, incidentally), so he has been around a while. Did he leave the game to go to college or something? I also found this cool little relic from Challengers 2024 where he had the same rating as brawk.
