You really did put BOOM and EDG. Guys at BOOM had regular jobs and didn't even take the game seriously at that time and in CN game is not even released yet. Indo Challengers had 2k$ prize pool and Kr had 90k$ prize pool.

The time you are talking about was not even stone age for SEA and f4q was beating teams made up of F/A high school students . SEA is much more developed now and teams have gotten much better. Talk about current times brother or just keep coping.

So what they going to KR to only scrim DRX and DWG which lets be honest are the only decent team. And for JP teams they can scrim against them in HK servers and both parties will get 40 ping which is low. But yes you made the cost point right because SG will be really expensive if they wanna bootcamp there compared to Korea.

yes you are right going to Korea will give me better ping to KR,JP and CN teams. What what about SEA teams?? You will get much higher ping to SG servers and HK servers while being in Korea because net infra there favors jp and cn not SEA countries.

Its not about being geographically closer. SG has better connectivity to all SEA countries just because of the inet infra there. Also SG teams often scrim against JP teams on HK server and they both have the same ~40 ping. And also SG- Korea ping is less compared to the other way around.

Why go to Korea when Singapore is literally the centre of APAC right now and you all get the best ping possible from SG and also all its even possible to scrim against KR, JP and Chinese teams with a fairly low ping but ig they have different plans.
SG- SG (5 Ping) , SG- HK(~45) , SG - Mumbai (~52), SG - Tokyo (~65).

Vietnam is important for Riot as a sub region so i dont think. VN teams are really good actually in League and riot wants that with Valorant as well.

Why so much hate towards indian teams?? They are really not that bad and if anything we have learnt in this game from Masters and everywhere else anything is possible and i can see the possibility of indian teams making huge upsets in apac.

Yeah the production is really bad and i think everyone can agree on this but the matches itself are really hype . India really needs riot to hold a tournament themselves instead of giving it to others.

Nah dont compare tesseract with any SEA player, Hes just really good among the best there are.

.

In Zeta game it was 90k on twitch and 50k on youtube

Game will release in 2-3 months in China. Everyone say.

yeah that makes sense they would follow an official circuit from 2023

Thank you for the information. I found the article. I'll post it in case anyone wants to have a read.

Yeah i've noticed Riot TO's are easier to follow and more structured and easier for the casual audience to follow. I was having problems keeping up with PPGL when they took it last year . And did RIOT say they opening offices in India?

RIOT official event will always be better and more organized and easier to follow for a casual player. I tried watching the oceania tour and it was way more organized and easy to follow and their matches are being streamed on twitch.

Are there any reasons why there isnt any official riot circuit of India and why its being held by another company? I swear whenever i open vlr there is some India tourney/matches going on but no official VCT matches.

Persia also request Korea flag but they deny

There are no comms there i dont think its better than SG. In SG there are atleast some comms and it isnt toxic at i2+

It was apac till last year
For now only ranked playerbase of JP in APAC

Not just SEA its all of APAC + oce except Korea
Both of them fuck us everyday in ranked now they doing it in VCT.

This is old news but I think valorant will get approved in 2-3 months here. Maybe it will get approved early but for now only very few people know about this game.

Jing isn't the Top 1 in SEA but whole APAC. I don't think you realize the difference.
