and chinese teams clearly care too much about their PR.
PR = Money
Money = What chinese teams care about (actual businesses like "amazon gaming" or "youtube gaming")
warrant a player getting dropped?
They benched him, he chose to leave himself, they were gonna let him play after toronto
why does XLG care so so much about what their public image looks like by keeping him on the team? it's clearly much more extreme in VCT China than anywhere else
Money

look its somewhere in here, I unfotunately do not have the time to look for the exact moment they said it
yep, everyone would expect it to be fpx or blg (not counting trace cuz they were only good like 10 months ago) main staples of chinese valorant and yet it was wolves a team filled with past rejects and failed opportunites
Lohan confirmed it was a utility issue in the first emea interview
Chronicle has those 3 trophies for a reason, he has been a toptier player for 4 whole years, he has proven himself across two different squads. If there was a player close to that then you can get talking but there isnt.
This is true for someone like Faker as well. If there was someone close to him, people would talk about things other than his trophies, but there isnt, so the trophy count is all you need
accused of matchfixing in previous game in the past, and lets be honest who hasn't been toxic in ranked at this point?
and they get punished. did people already forget someone like heybay got a huge paycut just for being toxic in rank? Chinese orgs will do whatever they can to not get bad rep, its just business for them, bad person = less money for them.
even though he left the team of his own accord, it does not feel like that was really the case. it almost feels like he was forced out of VCT china
How does it seem like he was forced out. if XLG wanted to remove him, they can just do it, they dont have to bench him then blackmail him to leave.
every chinese VCT team will have him blacklisted following these rumours, because it seems like the type of thing that ends careers in china
you could say that about s1mon, Heybay, You and so much more. if you fucked up, you face the consequences, this is the real world unfortunately and if you dont make an org money, they dont want you
I really believe that we deserve higher in the top 8 :( but oh well, what happened has happened cant change it now
XLG benched him for a number of reasons, matchfixing in previous games, being toxic in rank and allegedlly postin anti-china sentiments on his steam page which he denied. The reason for this is so that XLG would have no negative Rep for having a player like him.
he then decided to leave the team unhappy that he couldnt play
its not, YOU got benched for a much different reason but you arent wrong in the statement that "chinese fans insane" any big fanbase is insane, like sen fans, like chinese fans, like korean fans.
Simple Math says that more people = more insane people in general
The igl player that everyone says is important is the problem?
you could say that about americas in champs 2024 but no one cared because they didnt win
idk but you mentioned both countries Ive lived in
am I cheating by putting chichoo
bangkok chichoo was top 3 most dominant players
they added rr refunds recently
worst performance in vct history
if only they picked the right maps, ggs to them a fight was fought by them
if teams knew how to veto in 2025.
its a shame that liquid had 2 chances to make the right decision, but all good GGs to prx, nice try on the comeback, the fight was fought
tons of good teams are eco throwers
this is why a certain magical index is not getting a new season :(
ntnt and ggs
okay but hear me out, PRX vs TL grandfinals where PRX lose the final again
Liquid might genuinely be better than TH at toronto
On no ones soul but hades the match ups will be
XLG vs TL
FNC vs BLG
FNC vs SEN
G2 vs GENG
I like wolves, I just like bili more because their name is biri biri :3 which is fun to say, and based off one of my favourite anime characters so W org
Munchkin isnt close to what boaster has achieved yet, if he wins another then he would almost be there
Munchkin, Valyn
too recent bias, Valyn also hasnt even won yet with a single top 2 performance, so not enough tangible success either.
I think you still have to put FNS in there, and the 3rd pick can be whatever you want stax, munchkin, nobody, valyn, nats, saadhak, boo all depends what you value
fire ideas, not too much of a fan for the icebox comp tho
nats is always a hard player to compare because his teams normally arent good enough to qualify, but if im honest, its probably aspas right now but we will need to see the longevity of each player
so prx end as second place again?
absolute cinema
LETS GO WOLVESSSSSSSS, LETS GO CHINAAAA OFF TO PLAYOFFS
really thought he was gonna make a kamyk masterclass
has nothing to do with egos, heretics already has a perma and wolves just looked like the better team today. stop taking away from the win
