Just want to see Signed & Swerl vs Maple & Pl1xx at this point.

The OCE bros aside, I believe RNG has the superior remaining roster (CN players).
yeah I didn't wanna say anything just because NWG has veteran Chinese players soooooooo
East Asia LCQ? Qualifying for Champions on China's FIRST ever chance to appear internationally - not to mention they sweeped all JP & KR favourites, without dropping a single map, causing huge upsets.
What about OCE?
APAC 1 - Lost in groups
APAC 2 - Lost in groups
APAC LCQ - 5th place
Hoping both regions develop ngl, but you can't be saying that when you've been given more chances but can't make it to an international..
damn you didnt had to go this hard on him }
well i mean you had but it still is a destruction
australia has 26 million people. I hope China would qualify when they have 1.4 billion people living there. Our region has no org support either so not surprised my region has done nothing. But saying oce is trash of 1 game when they had maybe 3 days of scrims and they had to play from an internet cafe is just plain stupid. Meanwhile pl1xx and maple are farming the chinese region so is oce really that bad?
About the population - 39% is rural, of which 21% are under 18 (so 3hr games weekly) and 27% have no access to internet. That leaves us with ~500 mil people. Now considering the game hasnt even RELEASED in China, the playerbase is incredibly small. They are 3 years behind the rest of the world. Dont forget there's no young-talent for CN because of the video game ban. In the end, don't think of it as a region farming another region, it's more like lvl 200+ radiants farming lvl 50- diamonds. The teams they're beating are WEEKS old.
EDG managed to qualify using VPNs, playing off a TW val client and using KR/JP servers. OCE has had it far better, not sure how the org isn't giving you support, but at least the government ain't fucking you up. Remember that these are only the qualifiers too, let's see how WBG do in the playoffs against some more experienced CN players and teams.
yeah man u have 500m oh noo what are you going to do. OCE has 0 teams in pacific league. OCE can only scrim oce teams and there are no good oce team so how are oce supposed to improve? and if you're going to use the age and rural excuse. then it would leave us with 13m people. OCE is farming your region stay mad lil bro, they had barely any scrims and still beating ur dogshit region.
Bro imagine if TenZ was put in a Tier C EMEA tourny where everyone there only had Val exist for 2 months. Him farming the rest doesn't mean NA > EMEA?? Its a 3 year difference in experience, how is that so hard to understand. Also these are just open qualifiers rn, almost all of these teams are WEEKS old, they haven't scrimmed either - do you think WBG is gonna win the playoffs? They went 13-11 twice against DYG yesterday, that's pretty damn close. Do you think they're gonna win against actual teams with experience?
So what about now? WBG already lost twice. Val hasnt even released officially in China yet LMAO. Talk about a small playerbase. You gonna blame the CN teammates now? Just look at how Maple & pl1xx performed on Lotus..
https://www.vlr.gg/186414/weibo-gaming-vs-funplus-phoenix-fgc-valorant-invitational-2023-act-1-d3/?game=121391&tab=overview pretty sure an australian top fragged both games. oce farming your bum ass region plus where tf did they play lotus check ur eyes lil bro. oce carrying china region.
Also CN has scrimmed APAC teams which are actually closer to Australia so I'm not sure how you can't scrim them, CN is always playing on high ping anyway. And you admitted there are no good OCE teams? There is def at least 1 good CN team (EDG and maybe KONE).
china has good internet. We get 120ping to singapore and you get packet loss and shit on top of that because internet is awful here and we're still farming ur dogshit region.
Australia moment, reminds me of the overwatch game where both OCE teams were just dcing
Top OCE teams used to scrim EDG on the regular... I won't comment on the results though😉
Unfortunate for Swerl & Signed who have had 0 scrims and practice with the teams while also playing from a netcafe because they are stuck in Hong Kong...
I'd like to see how others perform when they have a 32" 144Hz monitor while having to 3x their sensitivity to account for space and almost no sound because of Cantonese swearing next to your ears...
Man I really feel bad for OCE. Mfs are cursed in valorant I swear. And I don't even think we'd be seeing Wronski play anytime soon either. I hope we see the rest OCE players perform and do sumn for the region
they kinda got fucked over.
RNG pushed the panic button after not qualifying in the first 4 quals.
their first scrim was 1 hour before their first official.
they were playing in a gaming cafe...
if you compare this to how weibo has approached it.. its night and day.
ahh saw swerl tweet "the odds were stacked against us" and was kinda wondering what that was about
