Economic development is a thing, and it's better to be the early birds rather than be late.
It is incredibly stupid for riot to pull out of Indian market.
But I agree GE should be replaced by an Indian org that cares more about their fans
That definitely happened, everytime I looked at pro's tweets there's always lots of bots
Idk what are you guys doing but all I'm getting is valorant stuff and mostly vtuber stuff. Maybe don't find that kind of topic on tiwtter, seems like you guy's problems are self conflicted ones.
OGs will remember him carrying cbt comeback against AE on ascent with jett
Nvm OGs will remember his name as Yuanger๐ฅ
I think CGN will be crazy considering they came all the way from play ins
IonlywatchvcjXD's glazing list:
Absol(my goat in my throat)
Muto ( another player needed to be picked up)
Xdll ( about time he go to tier 1)
CLZ ( managed to igl all his way to sp1 1st and sp2 2nd despite joxjo leaving the team)
GON ( what can I say, ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ต ๐ด๐จ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฌ...)
Syouta ( been carrying his team since cgz)
BRIAN ( reject academy's golden boy)
Hals ( having to juggle between sentinels and duelist and still manages to look good)
Akame ( good duelist and igl)
Gangpin ( massive glow up after leaving igzist)
NOBITA ( fragging consistently since something and vici era)
Satoshi ( the next meiy, watch out for him in sp3)
Yuuta( he needed help)
Hands ( Fav academy's fruit alongside fukuken)
Fukuken
Minty (crazy duelist after he took the duelist role from tenten)
Bazz ( he's good idk why)
Chay ( another player to watch in sp3)
Tenzou ( the only time I thank scarz for is making me aware of this guy)
Yowamu ( glow up of the century)
Yatsuka ( goated zeta academy's investment alongside caedye and aace)
Caedye
Aace
Seoldam ( The Korean Jett)
Joxjo( goated igl 3x champion on 3 completely different iterations)
Frxeez ( both popogachi and him need help)
Popogachi
And ofc all of them are playing or from the glorious region of VCJ
Can't believe we actually agreed on something
Might add that never works for any sports
Ideally, that's how it should go but in reality not everyone has this kind of goodwill.
The prize pool looked so sad compared to what prizepool TI can pull
Does that mean DFM is going to win pacific now, because they are rumoured to be dropping the whole roster except meiy ๐
Sure bud ๐
I have this severe disease called laziness ๐๐
Also posting this as a thread allows for discussions so two fold for me
Not really cooked tbh, it's just Jinboong's performance against Fennel on lower bracket actually left me with not so good impression.
i know nothing why jp player are so bad at killjoy
My tin foil hat alter ego tells me that Japanese players have adhd brain and cannot stay within KJ's range ๐๐
Unless Meiy and Xdll (possibly) speak Korean, I think they will settle for Koreans who speak Japanese
Idk how old Sacrifice is but I know that Only1 is in T1 AC
I found them on liquidpedia which I assume they got it from the website themselves
https://liquipedia.net/valorant/Red_Bull/Home_Ground/5/Qualifier/Japan/1
They explained how phase 1 and 2 works and Play-ins as well, but not phase 3 so I had to make an educated guess
welp Jinboong is primarily sentinels, unless we're getting Derialy or poach Yatsuka I see that Hals is the only alternative ( unless there are better players but have lower stats that idk of .. I'm silver after all ๐)
Currently we are in phase 2. The winners of earlier brackets are from phase 1. As the phase progresses the competitors become harder and harder.
Phase 1 are high schoolers
phase 2 are GC teams , AC teams and teams with high ranks
phase 3 should be teams like Scarz and Igzist alongside New Zealand represantative(don't worry I'm just as confused as you are as of how random this is ๐)
Winner of phase 3 will play in APAC play-ins where ZETA DFM and T1 are
That's phase 1, not phase 2 ๐
I find Jinboong coming to dfm the most questionable tho , I can understand why they'll pick LOB and Akame but clearly not Jinboong.
Pls pick Hals, there's still time ๐ญ
https://www.vlr.gg/401064/dfm-2025-roster-jp-leak
It's from this leak
I know that which is why I'm trying to look for where they are streaming ๐.
I think Scarz division will join in phase 3 just like other t2 orgs.
But what surprises me is that the 2 team that qualify from phase 1 (high schoolers) actually won and will play against Scarz youth and RIG GC
Ooooooh I thought you dm'ed the guy ๐๐
Wait you can ask neilzinho just like that?
Leaks and rumours: I hate this.. DFM Jinboong Akame and LOB .
guess japanese players will another year rotting in Tier 2 while imports are being prioritized again
Fr bro, at this point I'll be happy if dfm just settles for the standard 3 japanese 2 koreans and actually get good japanese players like Hals Brian or yatsuka
Frfr bro, guess we'll be having another year of japanese talents being disrespected again... no disrespect to jinboong but his performance clearly falters in sp2 compared to sp1...
It's ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ต ๐ด๐จ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฌโฆ. ๐
Ikr, FAV started to gain steam the moment they let go off tenten and let Minty play duelist.
Have no idea about sylvan tho
T1 leaks shows it's going to be tenten and sylvan
Who is the second japanese, xdll?
I kinda knew that Lob will be included because of his tweets.
The same goes with akame.
But jinboong? Bro how hard is it to get Brian or Hals?
Apparently that's fake news, but I sure as hell hope that they actually do it lol
i fw this, but they don't need a venue upgrade tho
WAIT NVM ITS ABOUT PC LOL , I thought by Venue they meant making the venue bigger or something lol
Instead of upgrading the venue maybe they can actually use the money to keep the T2 alive...
at the cost of competitiveness
This can be fixed by riot actually telling orgs to clean up their mess tbh
Zeta really is goated, unlike some other orgs, once in francshising they instead go so far to field 10 academy players and are announcing for 2025 application
Lol this one was actually funny , I remembered Bren or Sideshow commentating on how Derialy went 3 18 on map 1 and then praising him when he went 20 13 on map 2 ๐. Both are on a joking manner ofc
GE going in last is the least of Riot's concern when it's so hard to get any of these orgs to be proactive...
Also relegation is out of the question unless you want teams to leave the partnership

Academic team won't be relegated is actually super unfair, Riot is holding T1 orgs' hand all the way to T2๐๐
The problem is not everyone is like Tarik.๐
Update: are AlphaD getting rid of kokuya?
Why are they announcing looking for initiator?
https://x.com/AlphaD_Official/status/1830583956879876532?t=JW9ryDzZ2TgWxXmicFMvBA&s=19
Yeah, shame that we can't make this happen ๐
Idk about others but I'm kinda convinced that japanese orgs are willing to, these mfs are so proactive , academy team in tier2 sounds crazy considering the fact that it took riot having to change academy team rules just so Talon and ( possibly) DFM to actually start forming academy teams.
I think regardless of their financial performance, I think japanese orgs make a better partner for riot rather than some T1 orgs.
My gut says relegate many teams
I'm thinking of handing the power back to riot, riot can just cut spending on teams that are not willing to cooperate or can't make the effort to earn money.
Relegation is great for competitive integrity but we can't have zeta relegated(hypothetically) because they are riot's top earner.
