r/VALORANT on Reddit: Consolation bracket Winner? Yeah you get nothing. [Premier Beta]
May 22, 2023 -

Technically the consolation bracket winners are third to the champions and the other team that lost to the winners in the final. So to justify a prize for consolation bracket winners you would have to give a prize to the second place ppl as well. At that point giving 3 prizes to 3/8 teams seems like it devalues the reward.

Yes ong. we didnt get a team for the first game so we got moved straight to the second game where which one of my teammates ran to give someone something but ended up going into their house even though they said theyd be right back and losing us the game(9-13 which would have easily been winnable with the extra player). he was back for consolation which we ended up winning. and after all that. we were all tilted at the teammate which brought our mental and team moral down, skipped dinner and fought our hearts of in the consolation and for what. NOTHING.

Consolation Prize by Tyler Robert Sheldon
Tyler Sheldon’s Consolation Prize shifts the prism of language to a modality of lyric vignettes. He tells tales of mortality, like that of his twin who died at birth. He celebrates beauty of rain and survival. About scars he writes, “some stretch to fit / the holes we make / in our hearts.” This poet pulls readers into a richly textured alternative reality that refracts wisdom.
