what your favorite valorant streamers think about three (ft. @tarik & @Shanks_TTV )
full/hd in replies, any support greatly appreciated, i love you all <3
anyone who would speak against this move from Luk xo/Erde doesn’t have a competitive bone in their body
best South American team ever proposed, they’d have to be moronic to not take the opportunity. be thankful they brought another championship to Loud and wish them goodluck 🤷🏼♂️
Oi pessoal, Luk aqui
Passando para esclarecer alguns pontos importantes:
1. Antes de tudo, sei que muitos estão chateados com a minha decisão, e vocês têm todo o direito de se sentir assim. Não quero medir essa dor de vcs mesmo tendo lido muito, muito comentário que queria me afetar diretamente.
2. Queria muito ter vindo falar com vocês antes e dar toda a visibilidade possível sobre tudo, mas por contrato não podia. Acabei de receber esse OK e vim de coração aberto aqui (O vídeo ate ja estava gravado)
3. Sobre a decisão, é algo que como jogador profissional acredito muito nos nomes que vou jogar junto. Minha meta é ser um dos maiores desse jogo e a decisão lógica era seguir para esse time ao invés de manter sem a certeza de quem ficaria. Com esse time espero classificar para o máximo de internacionais e poder ajudar ainda mais minha família que depende de mim.
Pode dar errado, competitivo é e uma aposta. Nosso time no começo era quando estavamos perdendo e ganhamos o mundial
4. Nunca quis dar uma falsa esperança para vocês em live, estava sob contrato entao n podia falar nada. Poderia ter reagido um pouco melhor, peço desculpas se nao fiz, eu nunca tinha passado por isso ainda
Espero que isso clareie um pouco a mente de vocês e quero que saibam que sigo torcendo daqui independente de tudo de ruim que li esses dias
Agradeço de coração a LOUD, ao Jean e todos vocês que criticaram e apoiaram, ainda gosto muito de voces e isso nao vai mudar 💚
Até qualquer dia pessoal
@drownindespair_ this post also applies to you, idk if you’re just illiterate or your brain has rotted from all the anime porn you repost; probably both
@Kaizo_18 this isn’t worth continuing to argue because clearly your brain cannot fathom the obvious issue at hand; you should apply to work at riot, your mental capacity would be adequate clearly!
arguably biggest tier 2 scene org pours money into valorant, plays in challengers, creates content, fosters players who eventually became tier 1 champions
in return Riot Games gives them the biggest clown of a tournament to qualify for a week in tier 1 + denies them partnership
@drownindespair_ you’re not understanding the point; there could be an infinite amount of talent in T2 (SUCH AS THE SR PLAYERS), but with this system no org without billions of dollars to burn is going to commit financial suicide to field a roster of said talents.
@drownindespair_ how was the risk higher in 2022 when franchising didn’t exist 😭 it will be near impossible to field a competitive T2 roster considering the best players will A. already be on a T1 team or B. be poached by a T1 team. if you don’t understand how the system works, 🤐
@drownindespair_ read this and put yourself in the shoes of an org owner
would you commit financial suicide to enter the tier 2 scene? if you genuinely say yes, then there’s a prime reason you don’t have the ability to do so
Everything @LudwigAhgren is saying here is 100% fair and accurate. Let's do the math:
1. To support a Valorant challengers team like the 2026 M80 roster which won NA would be approximately $500k annually give or take. That's 5 players, 1 HC and 1 AC/Analyst on monthly salaries + travel etc.
For us to take this roster into the new ecosystem and compete we would have to make EVERY Cup + at least ONE Masters event to just break EVEN on the investment into the game. If we miss even 1 cup we are down six figures. If we miss a Masters its an even bigger hole.
Most teams cannot afford to take this risk for so little return. It's financial suicide.
We could just look to drastically reduce salaries but then you are just in a race to the bottom. Playing T1 Valorant is a full time job and you have to be able to pay people full time wages. I would rather go do something else than pay players a fraction of what their time is worth. It's sad because there are many t1 Valorant players in North America who will miss out on opportunities to have a career.
Sucks to even write that to be honest.
2. Competitive Integrity. This will be an 8 team league in Americas and there should be no doubt about that.
Any non-partnered team that has an inch of success or develops an amazing talent will lose those players at the first break in the season to partnered teams and have to start building chemistry over. Agents will insist on their players being moved to partner teams and if you try to retain them you will be holding them back. This is fair as the best salaries and financial opportunities will only come from partner teams.
This, even more so that the financial picture, is the real reason M80 will not compete in Valorant in 2027. It's just a completely unlevel playing field and that's not something we are interested in.
I got into esports because of Valorant. We launched M80 with a Valorant roster announcement. It breaks my heart to leave.
We love the game and the community and would love to return in an instant when things make more sense. I look forward to that day.
@Kaizo_18 this isn’t worth continuing to argue because clearly your brain cannot fathom the obvious issue at hand; you should apply to work at riot, your mental capacity would be adequate clearly!
@Kaizo_18 no one is saying NS aren’t talented; they obviously are as previous masters winners. what your bias isn’t allowing you to see is that SR is/can be just as talented and deserved the chance to compete as well.
@Kaizo_18 not to mention the fact NS was partnered since the inception of franchising; they HAD the opportunity to play and compete in t1 and did wonderfully; it sucks they weren’t selected, but SR NEVER had that opportunity. the only time they got close, they got the shittiest tourney OAT
@Kaizo_18 we get it bro you’re from apac
nongshim choosing to stay and continue to sink hundreds of thousands of dollars into a hopeless scene is their choice; it doesn’t take away from the fact that SR was shafted in the LCQ tourney which is the main point of my tweet moron
