Velocity Gaming was rite2ace's first VALORANT org and he has never been booted off the starting 5. This seems like a move towards a better 2023 for Ascension.

It was said that Giansanity encountered "personal problems" and a statement might be released from the player in the upcoming days.

FYI: SEA Games is NOT a Riot Official Event, it is still an approved 3rd party that Riot has NO direct affiliations.
You can ban players and teams from playing future SEA Games, not VCLs.
Riot wont ban said players if they dont affect Riot. TOs cant since they cant.
Stooopid.
From IG account: @/frengky_ong (General Secretary of Indonesian Esports Executive Board/PBESI) threatens to ban Indonesian teams and players for competing in any Valorant competition who refuse to play for Indonesian national team (SEA Games) without "apparent reasons".
So, lets take this into perspective
CN teams play from approx 10-11am to about 1-2am (with about 6-7 scrim maps + theory + VOD + ranked)
SA teams do max 9hrs (except 3 teams) with 2-3 scrim maps + theory + VOD + 2-3 ranked games)
Now you wonder why most SA teams are bad 💀
We Indians have the game since its Global beta back in 2020 and our peak achivement with a team of 5 Indians is beating Damwon Gaming in APAC LCQ 2021.
The Chinese on the other hand don't even have the game released in their country and have already eliminated NaVi, T1 & LOUD.
Orgs owners and coaches, if you were to own an academy team, would you pick:
- Talents that have insane potential and have gone thru a talent development center
- Talents that fit well with everyone, is an all-rounder, but is mid in every regard?
Looking for opinions ty!
Anaadi Army has finalized its roster for the upcoming Challengers South Asia Open Qualifiers, the current roster includes:
- 🇻🇳 Kishi
- 🇧🇩 Ssami
- 🇮🇳 Kohli
- 🇮🇳 Doxzer
- 🇮🇳 DominiK
It is uncertain that the roster will remain if they qualify for Main Event or not.
Scamming a coach out of 3/4ths of their salary and forcing Nodwin to get into action because of your org's several times of delaying, refusing to pay, not paying for bootcamp costs (players getting kicked out of bootcamp) deserves getting kickedfrom VCL SA right
@LethalEsportsIn
?
Okay, so this is how I understand this
- We only need 10 orgs/continent for partnership and +1 org every year
- There can be absolutely no org in Challengers, and we couldn't care less
- Challengers is supposed to be a FEEDER CIRCUIT, and its main goal is to feed talent to
NAOS Esports has signed the following roster to their lineup for the upcoming Challengers PH

Ppl were asking me how a roster should look like:
With imports:
- 1 IGL import
- 1 carry import

Might seem too few youngsters, but historically this has been the best lineup for success in many teams

Hot take:
SEA Games is just a mickey mouse tournament that every country participating has bought into the belief that it gives "national pride" when the only thing it does is create more division amonst SEA countries due to shitheads (a lot) harassing others
Import player: *points out mistake of the team and actively tries to fix it*
Indian players: "Why are you so triggered? Take a chill pill!"
Indian players: *turns off brain in scrims and play only on gamesense*
Import player: *upset and plans to leave the team*
I can pull out the screenshots and turn ur org's reputation in Valo into dust if you want to.
Dont test me and the crew at GE. We have full proof.
Dont take a measly screenshot and try to cover up everything.
I know EVERYTHING about what happened.
HELLO DUELISTS OF THE WORLD ONCE AGAIN
I am looking for a cracked duelist main
Reqs:
- Tier 2 EMEA/NA exp, or Tier 1 APAC exp
- Must be able to relocate
Benefits:
- Big salary ($2k+)
- Flights, stay, food covered
- Salary bonuses
DM me with resume and 3 VODs
Ty for reading
Im scared for the Lethal boys today...
They might get sent a breach of contract for underperforming and get the salaries not paid and joyfully said to their lawyers!
My VCL SA tierlist:
- Potential Champions: VLT, OG
- Super Strong (way stronger than strong): GR
- Strong: TR, RGE
- Respectable: AA, Medal
- Happy to be here: GODL, MLT, LE
So, TLDR of the whole SEA Games drama currently:
- FREY used "bugged cam" (please ban the whole VCT Americas also)
- The Indo side (idk about the players, but management did) required either a rollback (SG agreed)+ sanctions on the SG team (SG no like) or replay of the map?
It is with a heavy heart that we bid goodbye to
@tesseractVLR
.
Your time with our Valorant team has been nothing short of extraordinary. We're immensely grateful for your contributions, both on and off the server.
We'll be cheering you on every step of the way!
So currently, SA VCL has:
- 2 orgs that were (still are) known for not paying contracted players
+ one of which sent a contract as the content of the email (not a file, literally copy pasted from contract)
- 1 org known for breach of contract dramas
- 2 "budget" orgs
So, honest opinion on each roster of every Challegers League every day :D
Lets start with South Asia:
- VLT: jod roster, best in the league
- GR: has the "it" factor, probs the most refined one so far
- OG: VERY good, but throws too much
- RGE: the good vanilla flavor
(1)
I am now looking for opportunities as a talent scout!
- Have scouted numerous talents in APAC
- Can contact anyone you want
- Can give unbiased assessments on players/coaches
- Actual tier 2 coaching/analytics exp :D
Prices to be discussed in DMs!
❤️ and 🔁 appreciated!
HELLO GC PLAYERS OF APAC
I AM LOOKING FOR A DUELIST PLAYER :D
Requirements:
- Prev GC exp (high placements plz ty)
- MUST RELOCATE TO INDIA
- Imm2 min, imm3+ pref
Benefits:
- SALARY (scales with performance)
- Bootcamp, food, flights covered
- LIVE WITH GALS
SEND VLR PLZ TY
Okay, orgs that dont give salaries, DONT give out contracts. NO ONE who is smart enough will EVER sign with you.
Even with your whatever backstory to try and lure them in and then contract jail them WITHOUT PAY.
I know who you are, and I WILL bring you to light if needed.
The reason the SA scene is not up to par at this point (in my humble opinion):
- Players thinking that they know so much and would be able to go against any team yet no1 knows anything (including us)
- Just weak FPS scene in general
- And mentality as always!
As Kishi and Anaadi Army cries happiness tonight, I am here to remind orgs that I am still looking for scouting opportunities!
I can find any player/coach fit for your team under any condition!
Kishi and many others that I scouted have satisfied many teams!
More info in DMs!
So, reasonings behind VLT's roster change most likely isnt something that they wanted to originally, but now have to adapt to them asap to prepare for Ascension
TLDR of TR vs VLT:
- This shit is congratulations rather than well done
- Plz never play reyna on icebox when you dont have enough oppressors (or just ever, unless you diff everyone)
- TR finally got exposed to pre good valo gameplay
- D1srupt went derp mode today
Yo, you guys remember when you were wanting Open Quals for events?

Sources: the two biggest events for VALORANT OFF//SEASON India has been cancelled
GXR (VALORANT India Invitational) and Dreamhack India will not be happening this year.
The prizepool for both events was reported to be around $140k USD.
To import players:
You are as easily replacable (qctually more) as any other player in the team :) so always try your best in your org's interest rather than trying to get as many bags as possible
:D
Thanks for a great time.
Ill miss the days when we went for chicken rice when u were trying to cut down on carbs, ill miss the times when I took you out for coffee, ill miss the many memories we had together.
Cheers for a good one. Farewell.
HELLO SOUTH ASIAN PLAYERS (or those that have nationalities in South Asia around the world)
I NOW NEED AN INITIATOR PLAYER (TEAM IN VCL)
- RADIANT peak MINIMUM
- Has to have tournament/scrim exp
- Must send me 3 scrim VODs of at least tier 3 APAC teams (wont reply if no VOD)
The reason why APAC cant have pro 10-mans:
- Players coming back to ranked after the act starts again
- Riot doesnt allow prizepools (ye rito gon do ban hammor)
- APAC doesnt have as much of a problem in ranked as NA
- Streams? Not a lot of pros do it so not much incentive...
TLDR of MLT vs GODL:
- Looks like a ranked game
- Whiffing is real
- Some1 plz pick up kxsif bhai
- venkasometimestoohot
- The battle of the bottoms (for now)
HELLO SOUTH ASIAN FREE AGENTS
SOME ORGS LOOKING FOR PLAYERS (not guaranteed to land a trial)
Please DM me:
- Tracker/VLR link (if have)
- Past teams
- A vod of your scrim that u attended (3 pref) (plz put in guguru doraivu)
THANK YOU
How SA can improve as a region:
Young players have to bring themselves to the big leagues by actually winning signed teams and making it to big tourneys, you cant really expect yourself to perform just as good as them, you HAVE to be better than them to get signed!
So apparently:
- 1 slot for league stage
- SINGLE ELIM (gawd)
- Currently still no info about the league under the main league
Yeap, kinda slow on this end here XD
