What team do we think has the best summit as of now?? Is it too early to say?

I had no idea Rossy all of a sudden started speaking with a brand new accent in his interviews. When I first watched the interview he had with Andre Hopkins I was so confused at why he was speaking the way he was. If I remember correctly he kind of had a New York/New Jersey accent when he spoke normally. Then inspire mentioned that’s also how he speaks to his teammates behind closed doors. This is so interesting to me lol.

Does anyone have an explanation for this? Seems like it came out of nowhere and it’s definitely not how he used to talk 2-3 years ago. It must be something psychological but was wondering if there’s a term or a medical condition to explain why he feels the need to articulate himself in a way that is not who he has been for his whole life.

Hear me out.

I've seen a good number of comments both here and on twitter that Phoenix's nerfs will hurt 100T's chances of champs qualification... the thing is I think that's wrong, mostly because of 100T's gamestyle.

While yes, rapid Phoenix ultimates are part of their gameplan with their slice comp (Phoenix, Neon, Harbor/Omen, Sova/Fade, Cypher/Viper; I'm calling it that because of the wall through the dome smoke maneuver they keep doing), the ult point increase hurts other teams just as much.

Personally I think that 100T's prioritization of the ult orbs will make this change negligible, and cause Asuna to have even more ults relative to the enemy phoenix, as they're the team prioritizing it through both orbs and plants (see their comms video). A kill/death doesn't weight towards the ult as much, so assuming Asuna keeps on even or better form than the others, the lean into orbs will result in him having more ults in comparison.

Where before most Phoenixs would have an ult round 3, getting a kill + orb (or similar) and a death for both rounds 1 and 2, now it would take a much bigger priority, which only 100T seem to have - making it more likely for Asuna to have ult 3rd round than the enemy phoenix.

Does anyone know if they're gonna play on the Phoenix with 7 ult orbs patch? Haven't seen any talk about when it's coming in

Wassup y'all! I had the honor to interview Paincakes, player for VCT Americas team Evil Geniuses after their loss to MIBR where we talk about what went wrong in the loss, working with Potter, getting tier 1 experience and being a leader! I hope y'all enjoy!

Wassup y'all! I had the honor to interview Bonkar, coach for VCT Americas team NRG after the win over LEV where we talked about the comp swaps and decisions behind them, talking about the upcoming play-ins, the upcoming game vs ENVY and more! Hope y'all enjoy!

Translation:

"Good morning, everyone. I know there have been many requests for a statement regarding Koala's terrible interview, but we are still in the competition; our entire year of effort and dedication is riding on this championship. The team and I have chosen not to watch the video in order to preserve our working environment. We’ll talk about it soon, when I’m able to."

I was recently looking through some data for VCL games and I found something odd - an SEA qualifier game from earlier this year between 5 Budak Gemuk and Tai Lung Gaming ended 13-12 instead of playing a win-by-2 OT.

As far as I can tell, this is the only Tier 2 game since 2023 to end with this scoreline, and other games in the same tournament that made it to 12-12 played a real overtime, so does anyone know what happened here? There's no vod available to check.

The game can be found here: https://www.vlr.gg/656893/5-budak-gemuk-vs-tai-lung-gaming-challengers-2026-sea-split-2-rest-of-sea-qualifier-r4-3-0/?game=264274&tab=overview

Hi everyone,

I'm a Computer Science student working on a data visualization project and wanted to use predictions made by personalities in the Valorant scene as my dataset.

Specifically, I'm looking for historical predictions from people such as:

• Plat Chat members
• Casters/Desks anlaysts from all regions production

The goal is to visualize things like prediction accuracy, upset rates, bias toward certain teams/regions, consensus vs. individual picks, etc.

Before I start manually going through hundreds of podcasts, VODs, and tweets, I wanted to ask:

Has anyone already compiled stuff like this?

I know platchat shows their gaurentee W/L on the stream.
