In the last few years, eSports have been getting more and more popular, and Valorant is one of the most popular games in the industry. But as it gets more popular, there are more problems, especially with the ranked system. High ELO players and streamers face a lot of trolls and win traders who throw their games for crypto bets. Tarik, on the other hand, has had enough. He just made his own server where top players and streamers can play in peace, but will it save ranked?
Why a separate server?
So, just to give you some background, players have been sabotaging the game for the past few months in order to make money through crypto gambling. These players who are trying to hurt streamers bet against them and join the streamers’ team (via queue-sniping). Once they are on the streamers’ team, they just “w-key” and kill themselves within 10 seconds of the round starting.
Exclusive Look: Inside Tarik’s Pro City Server for Elite Valorant Players
On Tarik’s Pro City server, players can avoid the drama of ranked and play at a higher level. Even though the server has only been up for a few days, pros are already using it a lot. Players are invited to join based on certain criteria, such as playing for a partner team, a Challenger’s roster, or a tier-one organization. Once the application process starts, prominent immortal streamers can also apply to join the server.
It is up to Tarik and the other members of the council, which consists of six other people, to decide who will be allowed to enter Pro City. Because no one knows who is on the council, they cannot be harassed by anyone. Everyone loves Pro City’s games, despite the fact that the system has only been holding them for a short while. It’s not too serious, so players can show up with crazy strategies, but there is a level of teamwork that helps replicate what it’s like to play in a real match.
Even though Pro City is a good solution, the question is still when Riot will fix ranked. Because ranked is so broken right now, Tarik basically just made his own version of League’s Champions queue.
In conclusion, Pro City is a great solution for top players and streamers who are sick of dealing with trolls and win traders in the ranked system. It’s a fun and exciting place where players can work together and improve their skills. But Riot’s long-term goal should be to fix ranked so that players don’t have to play on a separate server to be left alone.
