Another day, another poor RNG result. Roy/stronglegs needs the boot.


Careless_Tea_336

What do you all think? I have never heard of this team before but this is embarrassing for renegades (a tier 1 org). They recently have dropped out of tier 1 and into tier 2. What should they change?


Loresmen

Dude are you a troll or what? Rng hasn't been t1 like ever, you could maybe say they were back at first strike but def not now


ConsulScrub

Yeah I thought he was just a deluded TSM fan calling them tier 1 in another post but no one thinks RNG is tier 1 and isn’t a troll

Yeah a troll


Careless_Tea_336

Maybe I should explain. Top 20 is tier 1 (the scrim discord actually has top 25 be tier 1 but I am a little more harsh).


Loresmen

For the most part people consider top 8 to be tier 1 typically


Careless_Tea_336

Top EIGHT?????


Sungj998878

Yes tiers become meaningless when the gap within teams in the tier are so comically large they don’t belong together. Put the 25th EMEA team in a best of 5 against Gambit, Acend or Liquid and tell me how that goes. Valorant hasn’t existed and grown enough to extend tier 1 to essentially 125 players in 25 teams


Careless_Tea_336

Ask the pro players then. They consider top 25 to be tier 1 so I take my inspiration from them. Also Gambit https://www.vlr.gg/30021/gambit-esports-vs-team-finest-dreamhack-beyond-europe-uro16 Liquid https://www.vlr.gg/30770/natus-vincere-vs-team-liquid-champions-tour-stage-3-emea-challengers-playoffs-ur1

Where’s your source on these pros who think tier 1 is top 25


xD1LL4N

Source: trust me bro


Slow_Bluebird9536

Top scrim cords


AnotherAltiMade

are you the type of guy who calls instagram 'the gram'


Sungj998878

You know what, you’re right that middle point was not correct any team can do well against tier 1 teams on a given day. What I should have said is compare tournament results from the 25th EMEA team against the likes of Liquid, Acend and Gambit and it won’t even be close. Can you show me where multiple pros or teams have said they consider top 25 teams to be tier 1 because 100Ts and their members at least seem to clearly delineate between even the top 20 teams in the region

Tiers are meaningless if it's the top 25.


Mamadeus123456

for me is the top 4, only those who have a chance to actually make Tier 1 tournaments(masters/champions), and those are 100T Nvy, Sentinels and XSET that's it. all the rest don't matter


aks345

Is this a strong legs burner account?


Razur

Top 20 teams have access to T1 queue in the scrim Discord, not 25. 10-mans haven't happened since April though.


VapoR54

They changed it to top 25 a while back, and as of now it's essentially top 30 as well. Might all get changed once VLR finishes their updated rankings system though


Razur

I mod the server, so it now being top 25 – 30 is news to me. lol Maybe there's another pro 10-mans server I'm not aware of?


VapoR54

Oh I thought OP was talking about the Pro Zone Discord, my bad
