We have Gryffins Vs. Zephyr Okami as our VALORANT match of the week!
Just revert it to Project L. This name is so bad.
With last years change to the @LEC people where scared we would get meaningless finals and splits.
Although there is something to be said about that, the final we have today between @MADLionsKOI and @G2esports actually feels super hype! The undisputed kings against the rookies.

Losers queue doesn't exist
We're not intentionally putting bad players on your team to make you lose more.
(Even if we assumed that premise, wouldn't we want to give you good players so you stop losing?)
For ranked, we match you on your rating and that's all. If you've won a lot and start losing, it's because you're playing against better players and aren't at that level anymore. It's not because we matched you with all the inters and put all the smurfs on the enemy team.
For 99.9% of people reading this, even if you think you're "playing perfectly" and post a good KDA screenshot with the rest of your team "inting", I promise you that if a good player reviews your games there's 100's of things that you could have done differently that could've changed the trajectory of the game.
Sure there are games where your teammates play poorly, that's just the nature of a 5v5 game. In the long run, you're the only common factor and the only one responsible for your rating is you. If you took an "unwinnable" game and replayed it with any Challenger in your spot, it would probably result in a win.
A good non-giving up attitude (see the top post on front page reddit rn), a growth mindset, investing in a good coach/asking reputable people for advice will help make your relationship with League a lot better. There are 5 potential giver-upperers on the enemy team and only 4 on yours. Don't make it 5.
I mainly wanted to make this post because in the process of helping people debug their accounts, there's so many people who legitimately believe we're putting them in loser's queue that it's driving me crazy.
Some observations from coaching over the last 12 years:
1. Most players play too conservatively with a lead. Playing on the edge to draw pressure & waste the jungler's time, while not throwing is extremely impactful.
- Playing for KDA, so you can post a screenshot of "doing well" while your team feeds so you feel better is not going to help you get better.
2. Review every death. 95% of deaths are avoidable until you hit very high ranks. Find the root cause of why you're dying; are you managing the wave incorrectly and not getting a ward out for a common gank timing, are you overcommitting to fights when they're respawning, are you flipping it to crash a sidelane when an objective is spawning.
3. Play to your win condition, while identifying & disrupting theirs. Find which lanes are volatile and most likely to carry the game from either side and prioritize your resources there. If your top lane is some swingy matchup and you get them ahead, they're gonna create so much pressure for you that the game becomes very easy to navigate.
Don't know why but every single time I watch friends they just eviscerate the Dutch. Leaves me smiling every time. Have no clue why we get mentioned so much but warms my small -10 below sealevel heart.
(Side note get people with an actuall dutch accent please)
