• Absence of fan favorite teams GE and VLT from the local scene.
• Launch hype of BGMI
• GE going with 4 imports creating a disconnect with its Indian audience(they dont feel like an actual Indian rep. anymore) than when it was a predominantly Indian squad.
• SKRossi underperforming then turning heel, going on a blocking spree.

youtube revenue is shared by a single person or a few working for the channel while for esports you are talking about 100s of people working behind the production having to be paid along with the orgs that are still far from being profitable.

thats the point .. if people would rather not watch something than pay for it , then maybe it was never meant to be a legitimate industry

its not the best but for a completely free of cost thing, theres no other entertainment product that matches it.

i mean with that subscription revenue i am pretty sure they would have more moneyr to invest resulting in better productions

Been watching quite a few people talk about this being destined to happen at some point in the future if esports wants to be profitable.. What do you guys thinks? Would you pay 5-10$ a month for Tier 1 events if it were to be introduced?

trash talk before match takes balls... post win trash talks are too convenient to be taken seriously

he still let all the roster shuffles and igl changes... plus any coach would love to have Yay when their other duelist options are unproven tier 3 players.

4 roster shuffles, twice IGL change, Best player of 2022 brought in but still no results...

I have been seeing these sudden narratives that the return of PUBGM is about to kill the Valorant Scene in India so here are my two scents:

No game/esports succeeds solely because of the ban of some other game. PUBGM community did help in marketing Valorant to the indian gaming communtiy but it only sustained because people liked playing and watching it. If it was always about being a replacement until PUBGM returned then there were already other alternatives like New State which are even closer to PUBGM in terms of gameplay. The current drop in viewership has more to do with absence of fan favorites GE and VLT from the regional scene for now. These narratives that the scene is about to die is not only false but also harmful as it may rather act as a catalyst and give this negative impression to future orgs/investors/sponsors which in turn might actually kill it for real, so be responsible and stop panicking. There were these same narratives last time PUBGM returned too, did Val die then ? No. Instead more Tier 1 orgs like Orangutan and Gods Reign entered the scene.

Every region is going to have off season lmao.. the hype will come back next challengers again.

Riot themselves literally called it an exhibition tournament with more than half of the squads there playing their official matches for the first time.

Well lud could have easily picked up any of the other 2 f/a rosters instead and missed out on playoffs too. He deserves prop for his research .

Toast didn't gamble. He built this team since September last year. Ludwig took a gamble having to choose between the Breakthru, MadLions and TurtleTroops f/s cores

Looks different than the usual boring esports merch so W

"If he played well guard wins" without looking at the fact it only got that close cz sym went double negative too.

I wish 'building' a team didn't mean making roster changes every 2 days.

If they make it to ascension it's very likely they make it to Franchise

The only thing he is kicking himself for is for letting Ocean make 10 roster changes every time they lost.

People can hate Sentinels all they want.. But very few orgs would have stuck out and tried helping a player of theirs this much instead of just cutting them off weeks ago.

Can't say that without them actually facing any franchised teams. Literally 100T struggled to make it into top 6 with that roster

you get to be the first VCT EMEA League Champions .. that should be enough motivation

They got 4 other players in the roster trying to prove themselves just like demon1 was before bcj got benched. You never know who steps up when given the opportunity

M3 champions.

demon1 was supposed to be the 10th man while reformed were to be the 6th.. So they submitted the visa applications for only the previous core + reformed to Riot.

When Fnatic had to play with subs in two consecutive international events nobody had this discussion about them not deserving it by that same logic of demon1 not making it.

You don't deserve it if you don't do enough to earn it. They clearly lost lmfao.... Even if the EG win vs NRG was a fluke, what makes you think they wouldn't have lost to NRG in UB and later to EG in LB.

Only EG can beat the top 2 seed 26-7 and still have it called a fluke.

Which ones better -
A big cock or a bald head?
Then you got your answer 😎😎
BCJ clears.

Agreed, they should just withdraw and give their spot to Sentinels instead 👍

I'm kinda confused. If he really wants to save FaZe from going defunct why is he so persistent in bringing negative pr every other day.. Won't it hurt the org even more?

Like I get it, some higher ups did fuck up, but how is leaking revenues or throwing shade at their upcoming brand deals from signing of Grace (apparently) is gonna help? Like if you don't have money, you need to take up brand deals no? 💀Not to mention reducing Grace to just 1EP S. Things girl seems weird considering how much she has been consistently streaming and talked about preferring it more than acting as she had some bad experiences from some producer while casting.

TSM_Zexrow and Drone owns that fraud.

They are literally going 2-2 in their regional group games , how tf they gonna survive against good SEA teams lmfaoooo

Guard vs FaZe.. More like which org goes defunct first 💀

Didn't even find any player with the name Psynath.. Just say the name of the team lmfao

Brother in Christ, G2 can't even win against TrickAim 😭

Which team are you even talking about 😭.. I don't know the initials of every fucking random org in existence

bro's doubting the team owned by 5'4 Jesus and a YT Streamer with an English Major 😭

WHOMEGALUL

AttackTeam Esports boutta expose all the NA EMEA APAC frauds.. Barcode username guy boutta go +30 on Sova.

Fr lmao

Leviatan has the chance to do the funniest thing ever 💀

So other than the couple teams that qualify for Ascension from each region, the season is basically over for the rest within the next couple weeks and it's not even half a year 💀. How tf do you sustain as a tier 2 player till next season unless you have decent streaming numbers?

33.4% last act in ascendant.. I wish I had time to grind, maybe I could have reached Immortal then (ik hs% doesn't correlate entirely to being good overall)

Won't even cross 500K peak veiwership this time LUL.

Nah just excessive CS vs Val baits
