Fair point, many only BR and FR can do that kind of thing T.T

Isnt the same everywhere ? KC can do the same for exemple

what is happening ?

They are many ways, you can try post twitter, you can try building your own Premier team with other radiant (socialize and be vocal in soloQ and see with who you vibes), you can follow T2 team social media account so you will be notified when they request for tryouts

In EMEA basically everyone can win, it's as open as my mom legs
In AMER EXL is out, so TSM or ENVY, Maybe Stellea, I've loose faith in LA
In China either DRG or XLG depending on who loose champ grandfinal
In APAC they are 2 places, so Motiv, Boom, NS or SLT depending on who is in good form, I want too trust in OCE and Inidia but... Well...

Love on you my bro, I share your pain for this time x)

I just think any GC team that manage to go in Tier 2 should be automatically qualified into champs (Or at least have the same number of point of a GC split winner), and not playing GC, and focus on T2

Yup, low but not last

If Gentle M4 doesnt get partner in 2027 then nothing make sense

KOI wouldnt have been booted so that fast if wasnt for M8

I've atch the video with the subtitle and a little bit understanding of spanish, and IIRC he just said it could have been better

It's 95% for M8, where where already rumor about BBL and FUT getting booted for M8, plus the moove make absolutely no sense if it's not to save M8

Definitly, they could have JUST waited for 1 year, or ask the Faria idea "T2 got a path to inter start next year not this one", but nooooo it have to be "I want 2026 or I dont take 2027 and go to concurrences :]"

"KOI just so happens to also be the worse bundle seller by their own admission"
I dont think they have said that, I think they said they could have been better

I think they dont have a dedicated costream but they still have more cumulated view than KOI :/

I've heard only 12k~20k peak viewer, is that true ? If thats the case it does sounds really low since KC is at minimum at 50k, and I think M8 have once passed 100k

Same reason why 2GA isnt in ascention x)

Not a case Riot thougt about

Heartbreaking, eliminated by the team you bullyied all the year

"Ideally, long term you would want both GentleMates and Koi in the ecosystem."
Exactly, but Sadfully M8 put a dilamna to Riot "Either we are in VCT in 2026, either it's ciao forever", and Riot couldnt find a breach in FUT or BBL contract.

The best solution would have been to give M8 a "Provisional Guest" to M8 (Or KOI) and promote only one team in ascention, but everyone would have call the move unacceptable

1. I suppose they are other alternative like letting his friend costreaming on his own channel instead of letting him stream on a small channel, maybe he could compensate by signing a popular retired player a little bit lit TH did with Mixwell
2. I think Riot felt KOI did only half as promises, lack of cocast, lack of promotion, low classicsells, I think they where hoping that it could give KOI an electroshock for 2027, but it didnt rok.

At the end of the day I just think booting the most clouted ESP org was not a good decision, especially for a crybaby thing

It's not for performance, it's just view and sales, I'm pretty sure if M8 didnt has blackmail Riot, both team would be partner in 2027 and a team like GX would be out.
M8 gave Riot a dilemma, either you boot a team for 2026, or you lose forever the best team in term of view you ever have in VCT EMEA, in that situation, they are no good choice if you are Riot

I have no word... This is the chokest choke of the history, they where the chosen one, the first T2 team in the world coming from an unparter T2 region that have a chance to qual to T1... Only TWIS is in now...

It makes sense if you have followed the recent rumors :

• M8 being first in sales and in view
• M8 saying they will definitly leave if they are not in VCT in 2026
• Rumors saying that Riot was actively trying to find a way to boot either BBL or FUT to keep M8
• M8 owner say KOI being boot out VCT few hour before it's announced
• KOI being booted up and Ibai saying thats because of M8

Next week M8 will announce they are chosen by Riot to be in VCT

Nous sachons

Tokyo EMEA or Tokyo APAC ?

They are ruining even more BR structures

I want to die so mush...

Another reason to hate Lev.
Guys you have so many talent in LATAM do you really need that mush steal NA and BR talents ????

fact

Any team that didnt get 11 point cant complain, in every T2 league, when you win all regional split you've got 11 point and you are qualified.

Raad won every regional league and they are qualified, they are nothing unfair in that

I admit even with how it's wired it doesnt make a lot of sense

Hard to say, it can be a start, nobody would have guess that the yellow Jacket would stand for that long, and that a pallet truck would have break a ministry door

WDYM it's the PERFECT time, you will experience the real Paris, the one we are actually proud of !

(And lets be honest, any date you would pick will be during a strike)

They will have a massive strike in France the 10/09, so be carrefull it's possible we have a lot of techpauses (Maybe you will assist in live at Macrondestitution)

Probably becausem in modern Val, since a lot of team have 1 smoke, 1 reveal, 1 duel, 1 senti and 1 flash (Either a 2nd senti or duel), a lot of play need to know her since she is good to replace everyone

Sadfully nothing could save London (BEside forcing TR people to stay o their region T.T)

Alright, i'm hook, I was looking for a 16th server name, I think it will be PK. little question, if i'm not mistaken if we put a server in Lahore it will only reduce the ping by 15ms if we put it in Karachi (Karachi is theorically right in the middle of Lahore and Dubai), so is that really worth it ? Would you put it somewhere else that isnt Karachi ?

Breach isn't the best char, he currently sits under 40% NMWR :c

Valorant is that popular in PK ?? How is that possible ?
Do PK have a lot of computer ?

Wait... Bali iesnt eastern Indo no ? It's just next too Java, a Bali server would be Indonesian server -Sumatera no ?

I think the ping was good on Mumbai before the war, i'm conflicted about the PK server, is Valorant that huge there ?

What is best serv for you ? PH, OCE or SG ?

Heh, it was toooo mush time, so I stick to smaller one uwu

Wait, how Dubai is higher than Bahrain ?

Chennai sounds a better choice with how the cable are made

I've see they you have a better ping on Miami than on Bogota and Mexico, wish is a little bit weird geography speaking... Is that true ?
In Guatemala the ping is really better on Miami than Mexico ?
In Panama, the ping is better on Miami than on Bogota ?
What about most central part en central America ?
Can someone give me the ping on this 3 server ?

How mush do you have currently ? 40 on Santiago and 50 on Bogota ?
I really think we could have a development of the Peruvian scene, this scene have potential

Thanks for the Jinx my bro, can you say the same for the next map please

It seems that in Martinique they have 35

If it's too costly the move to cheaper city :x

I didnt saw this player speaking there
