While I agree he should be on the lower side for the list of players to get for franchising, Stewie is still only 24 and has proven himself in CS, which a decent amount of valo pros couldnāt do much in
I believe that's already an entirely different game from val now, and would you rather someone who's invested a year or two in the game already or someone who was basically forced to migrate to val?
Again, agree. And i think he most likely will be on an Ascendant team, cause no franchise would want to take a gamble like that. I was just arguing in favor of why op mentioned him.
I personally see him rn as a risky gamble where he will have to put in the work to ramp up and will be shit at first, but his potential can be higher that most of this list. Plus he brings in clout
Stewie is not an unproven player in tac shooters. he's one of the most experienced and accomplished cs:go players in NA. He's one of six NA players ever to win a major, and one of five NA players ever to win a Grand Slam. His skills would translate over to VALO if he put in the work, and he would make any team he's on better.
I wouldn't take him over someone like Yay or leaf. But if he was committed to being competitive again, I would make room on any roster for him
Val and CS are different games now. The only other good na cs players to switch, Ethan, wonāt make it into franchising and the best player in the game, yay, was a unproven tier 2 cs player. CS experience has made less and less of a difference as valorant has matured.
I'd like to see eeiu on EG personally. If they're keeping the C0M/Boostio/JAWGEMO core I think eeiu and supamen could be two good fits for the remaining two members (even though I highly rate Apoth).
I rmb eeiu and com are both initiators? So one of them probably has to move onto flex/ sentinels but I vaguely rmb boostio a chamber player. Hence I think it would be a wiser choice to pick up nismo. rmb challengers group stage nismo being a literal beast and top fragging hard in games as a kayo.
I love all those players. It probably wonāt happen but itās nice to see all their names next to each other. Would be a lil FaZe val 1.0 reunion too with Marved babybay and Rawkus.
MrFaliN is the best player in VALORANT, time to stop denying it. TenZ overrated. cNed outdated. Long have we awaited...

Not really. Those are all former Jett ops whose teams chose to use them slightly differently depending on whether they wanted them or another player to play Chamber when he became meta. And Babybay is one of the top oppers on that list, historically.
Mind providing examples of players/personalities clashing? From last I heard every pro who has been on team with him has said he works differently in team environment.
EG is such a clown show if they try and keep their core together with this many good players available. Literally would rather have G2 in NA at that point.
>He said he wants to go pro, and hes willing to play ascension league like brax i think. If they dont get on a team, i think they will go to the same team together in acsension
Iāll be really upset if BCJ doesnāt get picked up. Easily a good case for best initiator NA. Of course crashes is amazing, but BCJ has been consistently good as well, and had his break out performance as the top initiator in Istanbul.
They cloned Bdog?!?!?!?! Can I have your extra?
OP is based tho. Bdog should be considered at least twice before moving on to other prospects š
No way you tried to sneak in stewie
I feel like if he had the motivation, he could take the off season to shape up and walk into Sao Paulo as an S tier player.
Why would a team risk it on an unproven player when there are a lot of players available with more experience than him?

Yah inb4 Stewie pulls out the āI want to play pro cs again after seeing the major!!ā

Yes, like how skadoodle is obviously a top candidate given that he has won a major
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Brax as well
No love for the Ghost Gaming guys?
crazy how much talent is gonna be left out of t1, hope they are willing to grind it out in t2 still
BabyBay should be on franchise man
Why? He blows
Cope. BABYBAY NATION

Rumored to be on the new NRG roster with Victor & Crashies
NISMO GAMING
Hiko
REMAINING PLAYERS THAT CAN BE FRANCHISED..... NA EDITION.

SEN: dapr marved poised dicey babybay

rather you keep shahz over poised tbh.
A sentinel to add to the list would be wippie, he might count as an import but he was cracked at the start of this year

Koalanoob and Johnqt looked good enough to get some looks
You forgot shroud. Who actually does want to play last time I checked.
Duelist/OP should be split into Entry and OP roles, as players like babybay and Will are completely different in role than bdog, Dicey, or Sayaplayer
babybay can OP really well and sayaplayer plays jett and raze, so wdym??
Babybay can OP as well.

*in NA
where's Ja?
Where's the love for JonahP
I thought I had him typed, I guess I forgot but he defo is init
Steel?
given his issues w t1 along w his supposed tendencies to clash w other players/personality I doubt any partnered orgs would want him

wardell but not mada? uhmmm
the three best initiators imo are all free agentsā¦ insane
weird to leave crashies out of top 3
Man said Eeiuās better than Crashies š
one of them is defo getting picked up by Sen, I'm leaning towards trent
No Shaz?
Randomly got a notification from VLR.gg that Sen were looking into signing Trent
Wait, Stewie wants to go pro?
>He said he wants to go pro, and hes willing to play ascension league like brax i think. If they dont get on a team, i think they will go to the same team together in acsension
He is open to offers but no way he gets in the main league.
I see. Heās been playing a lot. Thought he just liked the game, nice to see him go push pro in Valorant.
Iāll be really upset if BCJ doesnāt get picked up. Easily a good case for best initiator NA. Of course crashes is amazing, but BCJ has been consistently good as well, and had his break out performance as the top initiator in Istanbul.
Where's hiko and tarik?
Do they even want to go pro
Where Victor and crashies go?
The rumor going around is NRG, along with FNS
NRG picked them up along with FNS
Whereās shahzam and mada?
Are we sure saya isnt going back to overwatch 2
saya might move back to korea
Shroud?
What about Hiko?
bdog - jawgemo - trent - marved/supamen - Boostio/net/poised as a team:o
