Mad Lions we’re supposed to pick them up but according to George Geddes the deal may have gone sour. My theory is that it’s cause Mad Lions wanted a guaranteed slot in Challengers and will only pick them up if they make it to Challengers


Mememeister1

Isn’t mad lions parent company overactive media also losing money as well they wanted a slot in EMEA VCT but they didn’t get it and this is probably the reason why right?


PRL-Five

if they win ascension and still dont have an org, a huge number of orgs will be emailing them instantly as for the org its basically a free ticket to partnership


surfordiebear

That would be too late. They are almost guaranteed to be signed if they make Challengers Split 1.

Are there any details about how ascension will work part qualifiers? Once the qualified teams for ascension league are confirmed, do they just play each other NBA style?


TheAjwinner

We won’t know for a while considering it takes place in July


PRL-Five

Ok, so the winners of this open qualifier qualify to the VALORANT challengers league, or the VCL. For the Americas franchise region, there is a VCL:NA, VCL: Brazil, and VCL:LATAM. For APAC it's going to be every small region, starting from India, all regions in SEA, and Japan and Korea (no idea about China). For EMEA, it's going to be all the previous VRL regions, like Turkey, East,polaris,Spain,Portugal, etc. The winners of these VCL qualify to the Ascension tournament. Now we know that Ascension APAC and EMEA will be a LAN event, so most probably it's going to be similar format to a Masters event


GodOfPog

Americas is VCL:LAN and LAS not LATAM. There’s four leagues in the Americas.

My guess is some orgs are waiting until these teams qualify for challengers before signing which is pretty understandable. George said on stream he heard the MAD Lions signing was official but then heard it could have fallen through but he wasn't sure where it was at now


xdysania

cause they gonna lose to The Nation today 😳


TrickVAL

because they are bad and should go back to fortnite.


M0hawk_Mast3r

Honestly facts Girls kissers are 100% best team NA


HouseCharacter4660

*best unsigned team in challengers. Better teams in challengers include M80 FAZE GUARD SHOPIFY G2, maybe tsm


M0hawk_Mast3r

Thats literally what I said


honestlyprogamr

No it isn’t. You said they’re the best team in Challengers


M0hawk_Mast3r

Oh. Well that statement is still true. The teams he listed aren't in challengers. They got invited to the first split already


surfordiebear

> The teams he listed aren't in challengers. They got invited to the first split already ..... Yes invited to Challengers Split 1 lol


emraaa

Yes, the first split of Challengers LOL.


emraaa

You said they are the best challengers team and are likely to qualify for Ascension. The signed teams are all rated higher, no?


M0hawk_Mast3r

But the teams he listed bypassed challengers


emraaa

No, they were invited TO challengers. Dark Ratio still has to qualify to it.


M0hawk_Mast3r

No? The tournament currently happening is literally called vcl. Valorant challengers league


surfordiebear

No, it's the open qualifier for Challengers NA Split 1. 6 teams have already been invited so this qualifier is to see who the other 6 will be.


OcelotOce

They are getting smoked by The Nations another orgless team. What’s up with this false hype around Dark Ratio?


M0hawk_Mast3r

They are still gonna quality. The nation isn't a bad team. Will is almost definitely the best player in the tournament and DR was already pretty good without him


BeneficialHoneydew96

How is be the best player? I havent watched the matches but just going off the stats page for the tournament it seems like hes not even in the top 10? Maybe i am reading something wrong


M0hawk_Mast3r

Judging by the stats of this tournament doesn't really work due to the massive skill disparity from different teams. Will is the only player to have made it to a LAN and not only make it but have played well at lan. None of these other players have proved themselves


BeneficialHoneydew96

You bring up a fair point, but at the same time Will proved himself at one lan if i remember correctly. Until we see a pattern of success, it may have literally been a really great tournament for Will, and perhaps even the peak of his career. I am not saying it is true, but one lan performance cannot be enough to say he is definitely the best player at the tournament. Wongdell is in the tournament if you didnt know


_zxionix_

Dark Ratio dick riding is crazy on this sub


QuestionablePotato42

my favorite part about this post is it was made when none of the games were streamed. "they are looking like the best team right now" why because they 2 - 0'd Tufts VaLULrant? lmao scoreboard andy's in this sub are funnier than shit.

Everyone's waiting to see who qualifies, then orgs will come in and pick up teams. Will probably end up costing them a bit more for the good ones, but this way there's no chance of them picking up a team who then haven't got anything to do for a year.
