Berasa udah makin redup scene compe di indo semenjak partnership bareng soop soop itu
sampe skrng gw masih ga ngerti sih padahal SEA potensinya viwershipnya gede bgt, gw awal2 udah bayangin tuh wah seru nih keknya kalo di satuin, Imagine nih all of SEA into 1 league TH/Viet/ID/MYSG/PH kalo di satuin itu viewershipnya bisa skyrockets to the moon kalo di stream di Yutube ? yagasi ? But what do they do ? mereka malah matiin scene nya : ) dengan partner sama SOOP yg AVERAGES viewsnya aja ga nyampe 300 per match.
Riot treating Tier 2 SEA like that one plant you forgot to water for six months but still act surprised when it dies. Truly groundbreaking management :)
Dari awal udh kontradiktif, katanya mau digabung jadi satu liga biar semua region pada nonton, blom 3 bulan udh dapet exclusive sponsor sama SOOP. Belom juga kegoblokan riot gabungin vietnam sama mongolia ke satu liga, dimana masalah ping-nya jadi salah satu faktor.
Sebenarnya gua gpp pas riot announce kalau mereka mau buat jadi satu liga, kalau emang yang megang becus ajg. Yang gua tau kalau ngeliatin T2 NA gua udh tau mereka mah seneng seneng aja, karena semuanya dipegang soop + dibayar sama mereka. Yang penting duid duid duid.
Kontol.
Riot needs money to run VCT SEA since the region lacks stable viewership and income, unlike Japan, China, or Korea. Thatβs why they partnered with soop. Remember, riot runs their tours without third-party organizers, and they also laid off workers in 2024. SEA has always been a challenge for riot, even since League. And for Valorant fans, Leagueβs viewership in regions like LPL, LCK, LEC, LCS, or even their T2 leagues (CL) still doubles SEAβs Val + League numbers, Just wanted to let you guys know
Bro just straight up lie LMAO. Indo and Thai VCT viewership pre SOOP mogs KR to shit.
Also if you WANT viewership, merging SEA is a good thing because we hate each other and all matches gonna be big, viewership will SKYROCKET.
BUT WHAT DID THEY DO? KILLING IT BY GIVING EXCLUSIVITY TO SOOP
So do they want big viewership or not? They want viewership but they decided to kill all hype and and views. There are no excuses, Jake Sin is literally a mega retard (not even ableist, he literally is please test his IQ).
the region lacks stable viewership and income
Jake S0n solution : Let's give the broadcast to SOOP, and no warchparty so we turn the 20k+ views from ID and TH alone (moggs the entire KR btw) into <300 views letsgoooo we solve the viewership problem!!
Oh also no views means no sponsors means no money. Let's gooo we solve the income problems too!!
Literally 20 IQ moment, why are you even here brother you need to have an IQ check.
Blud sneke Korea to talk abt val income & views lol sybau pacific studio is max 50 ppl and that shit doesn't even full most of the time, Bro really brought up League viewership to talk about SEA Valorant like SYBAU fucking dumbass SEA doesnt play League and u comparing to korea,china like shit doesn't even relate & make sense. we playing the better game out here (Dota btw), not waking up to watch LCK drafts for 30 mins straight Ainβt nobody in SEA waking up to watch LEC or LCK dumbass.
dont mix up thing buddy, league is league val is val. And u wanna talk numbers? lmfaoo VCT Vietnam alone clears Kr Valorant viewership and guess what? Vietnam doesnβt even have an official VCT team and they STILL cooking. Thats how strong the scene is u dumbass doesn't know what u talking about so SYBAU lil bro
edit : must be the funniest joke i seen today
the region lacks stable viewership and income ππππ
if the problem was viewership, Indo, Thai, and Vietnam got lots of them. and quite stable. Thai could reach 8k ish and both indo and vietnam could reach 4-5k in regular matches. not to mention that doesn't include a lot of watchparties for different language and region.
if the problem was sponsorship, i agree that SEA should be merged as one. there are also options like not streaming sponsorless countries like MYSG, PH, HKTW(?), but i guess that is unfair for them.
but we're beyond those thing now. S00P didn't pay pacific higher ups anything, viewership are the worst ever, and teams and orgs are disbanding their val roster left and right.
you think this was a correct decision from jakesin and riot? remember, they DON'T get money from S00P.
dumbass the only reason riot partnered with soop is because they want to bring SEA viewership to soop platform. they have korean corps partnership and wants to monopoly SEA scene. It's a business policy, that's the reason why SOOP didn't pay riot, riot wants an organizers that can run stuff for them.
