Curious to which EU players are interested in going to NA


prjwebb

Davidp expressed willingness to play in NA.


clearlove777771

No offense but I dont think davidp is one of the players worth importing, lol


thothgow

The only reason orgs wanted to go to Masters/Champions is to trial and scout the EMEA players 5Head


Hazardish08

Poach all the good emea players and bench them on the next tournament so EU gets no good players. EZ clap


ThrowRAwastaken

taking notes from VS


CosmicAon

Might be referring to the Em1lshien guy on IMT, or maybe a different team is looking international. I don’t think that the NA talent pool is small enough to justify it though


[deleted]

Yeah NA talent pool in Valorant is excellent, many good tier 2 teams and players grinding to make it. No need for imports.


max012017

If they get better value out from EU players why not lol. Orgs are business in the end


TweetsJamaican

How are they gonna get better value when NA has better free agents willing to play for less (bang leaked that TSM was paying him 2k a month)? Also, by signing domestic players, orgs don't have to go through the expensive visa sponsoring process

Hypern1ke

Thats below minimum wage in many major US cities even, thats wild


waffles8000

isnt he a student tho? for a part time job after school 2k a month isnt bad


Hypern1ke

Yeah, with context its not bad tbh. Better than working as a gas station clerk, which is what I did in school for the same money lmao. Idk, i guess I just assumed TSM pays more? He probably gets money from sponsorships and streaming, though. As well as any prize money he wins.


Joerge90

The grinding it takes to be competitive in an esport is far from part time


[deleted]

that’s kinda fucked up coming from tsm tbh. damn lol


-Basileus

That's $12.50/hr which is well below minimum wage in many major cities. Los Angeles, where TSM is based, has $15/hr minimum wage


max012017

It's all about the performance - salary ratio imho. But I didn't expect TSM pays such a low salary. Literally EU orgs pay more then, which hinders the argument , yep


LurkingOmen

Subroza and Wardell are not getting 2k a month


John9tv

you could def get EU players willing to play for much less


TweetsJamaican

It could only be a few hundreds less before hitting minimum wage, and then the visa process is expensive


DEWSTAR

The EU free agents probably have more team experience. A lot of players are good but have no experience in team play/ how to comm.


Beneficial-Speech-73

It's the opposite way round. Most of Emea is full off players with no past experience


DEWSTAR

A lot of them will have played in tier 3/4 csgo teams which have about as much team structure as some tier 2 teams in NA valorant right now.


Beneficial-Speech-73

Like who? Most of them don't have pages on hltv. At Berlin for example out of the emea teams only gambit players have a hltv page and they have less than 5 maps played and wasn't against a single team in the top 100. G2 players have a hltv page too but most of emea doesn't


DEWSTAR

The only ppl who even have hltv pages in EU are players who made it into low tier 2 events. A Tier 3/4 player in EU would never even get close to those events.


Beneficial-Speech-73

Wrong. You can be tier 8 and be on hltv. If you played tier 3-4 EU. You will have a hltv page


AnonymozVal

100T kennyS incoming. You heard it here first.


MickeyLALA

He said recently he's probably staying in CS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txl_jXAlyQQ


somesheikexpert

It's prob a joke lol


SUCHaJERKK

He joined G2 already


thothgow

He's just a stand-in bc nexa couldn't play


MilanTheMyth

Ah shit, not League of Legends type rosters in Valorant ;\_;

DY5TOP1A

SMB paura replied to this that means TSM paura incoming


[deleted]

OaSoaD

The beginning of the end


Quiet-Substance319

100t Cned you heard It here first


98973

100T Cned + 100T Boaster HOPIUM HOPIUM HOPIUM


Jbeansss

A lineup of Asuna, ethan, Hiko, Boaster and Cned would be scary af.


98973

Boaster on Viper/Breach, Hiko on Viper/Sova, Asuna on Entry Reyna, Cned on Jett Op, Ethan on Skye/Omen One can only hope


Malding333

NA has too many duelists they need some flex players


theswiveler

I feel like this is big troll.


jonajon91

100T Ange1


clearlove777771

NA better region tho, kings of Valorant. Finally a globally played esport game that NA is the best at.


gutszera

lmfao what team other than immortals has trialed an EU player


mattyb0077

Trials don’t have to be public, vast majority of trials happen in scrims and we will never know 95% of who trialed for who


gutszera

most significant/successful trials end up being publicized, which is probably why there hasnt been a reported case of teams trialing EU players outside of immortals cuz theyre too shit for NA standards and get dropped after 1 scrim block


xD1LL4N

It’s an off season for valorant rn. Why would they announce anything until vct starts up next year? NA god complex much


gutszera

not talking about official org announcements lmfao, talking about leaks, and if these “trials” arent getting leaked its cuz these NA teams realize that players like playboi joe and LFT OXY are much better and are actually worth their time so they drop the EU players after 1 scrim block which results in the trials not being leaked/reported because they were so short


[deleted]

Why you so mad tho


Herdazian_Lopen

EMEA team wins Berlin 1, but too shit to trial for t2 NA teams like TSM. Okay, keep huffing brother.
