"South Asia has not competed with other regions yet"

Yeah, that will happen when you give them slots.

"South Asia is new"

Pretty much every big CSGO pro got access to Valorant Beta and many switched from day 1 of release. There have been tournaments and fully paid professional teams since the beginning of Valorant. There is good viewership. Good participation. What else do you want?

Also, don't forget that the first year is literally the most important year of growth for any region.

There was so much interaction around Valorant in South Asia this year, seeing Riot's attitude and hardly any future for Valorant in India, atleast 3 big orgs have released their teams. South Asia is already 25% dead region at this point.

Korean Jett "Seoldam" is in Northception and not Reject.

They also do have a decent Jett player "dep" but currently he is inactive.

Edit: This post was made when I did not know about Northception joining APAC LCQ.

Looks like we might see this matchup indeed!

21 is rookie numbers. TenZ can do 30.

Dude literally nobody agrees with you here. Take your opinion and keep it to yourself.

I can find around 10 different shapes of pasta but not spaghetti.

It is only available in large supermarkets in malls, not in your normal grocery store where you normally go for pasta.
Obviously, it's not as you absolutely cannot find it if you want to obviously as DeathStroKE mentions you can order it, but it has to be one of the rarest pasta varieties (which is also common elsewhere) to find in India.

This alone makes it unaccessible for 90% of the population in India.

Delhi, Indore, Chennai, Jodhpur, and Punjab are my points of reference. (In Delhi it is kinda more accessible)

soulcas the Skye who got destroyed by vanity?

Team Liquid is literally scream and friends and maybe once in a while, Jamppi will step up.

Fnatic players are good tho.

yeah KEKW

literally farmed F4Q on breeze.

Singapore 40ms

Code Geass literally has an entire episode where they chase a cat btw.

That truly is good " script, writing and anime"

ok

Turkey is the country where tea is drunk the most in the world

Questionable statement.

Indians do drink tea without milk a lot of times though.

If you are making any tea apart from your "kadak adrak wali chai", like lemon tea, black tea, green tea, or even normal tea. At least people in my circle drink it without milk.

Good luck trying to find spaghetti pasta in India.

Legit you cannot find it unless you live next to a supermarket in a big city.

No, same level or slightly worse.

Code Geass S2 is not good. It only has arguably the most mind-fucking endings of all anime I have watched in a while.

Even Death Note after L's death was much more interesting than S2.

Thanks for the Copium.

hmm yes Mumbai to hong kong 120ms is not a big deal, sure!

Death Note level anime. Similar on many levels.

If you are not put off by the anime style you will really like it.

writing Urdu is not that tough though unlike Japanese.

I picked up spoken Japanese while working as an intern in a Japanese company but still cannot write more than 500 kanji.

However, Urdu was much easier. I studied in a school (maybe in 1st or 2nd grade) where Urdu was a minor subject and you can write Urdu decently within a few weeks even as a 7-year-old kid.

Apparently, he has a GE flair. Just a fellow Indian fake flagging maybe.

yeah sure you met Wardell when you are in Silver 3.

Did you get past the tutorial?

They haven't confirmed C9 shinobi, they just said a player who has played in a tier-1 NA org.

Watch this vid, look at his ping.

Big realization.

100ms is decent ping?

Do you have a router or a potato?

1) She is an official costream partner who can host watch parties. Anything with "official" in its name should not fall in any such controversy in the first place.

2) Dapr and sentinels are known for trash talks, she even cheers on and defends this banter, but suddenly if crashies does it to her team, he is a scrawny fuck? Real double standards and she can't tolerate loss. Don't trash talk if you can't take the heat yourself, simple. She genuinely was frustrated and malding when she said that.

Should she be cancelled? No. Should the fans realise that these streamers are not always wholesome and lovely but they are just like normal people, yes.

She is barely an adult practically still an old kid. She is new to streaming, of course, she was bout' to say something like this eventually.

Radiant strats don't work in Silver.

Sad but true.

There are no other servers in between India and KR/JP. The only server is in Hong Kong where Indian players get 100ms+ ping.

That's what I am saying maybe I got misinterpreted :(

Hindu vs Muslim opinions on vlr.gg let's go!

Kinda funny how much Riot likes to trash on South Asia.

No VCT in the first year (Literally the most important year to develop any region).

No direct slots to masters/other international LAN games.

Conducts VCC which lasts 2 months and we see a decent level of competition in the playoffs.

Gives 1 slot to a region with literally 1/5ths of the earth's population on earth and brings in decent viewership and 2 slots to a country where the game has not even been officially released yet, government is against gaming and barely has viewers.

After all this we see South Asia getting the worst seed in the tournament, no way they are going to conduct a single game on the Mumbai server, all games will be either on Singapore or Hong Kong depending on the teams playing and a quick recap of India's situation in both the games.

India vs SEA teams, Singapore server.
India vs Korean, Japanese or Chinese teams, Hong Kong server.
Indian players get 60-70ms ping in Singapore servers, SEA teams obviously get either <10ms or at most 40ms.

Hong Kong - 100ms, honestly unplayable. I have watched a stream where SKRossi really struggled to play in Hong Kong servers. Barely got kills in the first half, the second half was your average Jett player in top 100 Radiant. It was not until the next game he really got used to it somewhat and managed to get a really good game with 35 kills or something and a good impact.

I don't know how is Riot even expecting GE to do anything with such a harsh playing environment.

No surprises if Valorant just dies in South Asia. Riot really fucked this up. Few big orgs have already disbanded their teams.

It is kinda funny how Riot claims that it wants to provide each player with ping below 35ms but players might have to play in pings above 100ms in such a big international tournament.

Imagine almost losing to a no.2 seed of a new region that got 3-0ed by Bren.

Edit: Paper Rex was not even top 8 in SEA a month ago lol.
Also, this guy is just downfragging us.

With Gambit and 100T? The only other team was a brazilian team that they beat.

ZETA also did not go without a fight in arguable the easier group.

Man calm your tits down as well. Let him bark.

SMB has not lost yet.

However, Breeze is SMB's weak map and forsaken goes kinda crazy there.

PS- This post was made when PRX 1-0 SMB

It was maybe you, People always believed in PRX

If you know the answer why even create the thread? :)

It's not about good and bad days.

It's more about the fact that it seems that SMB are onliners that thrive on online competitions but not good on LAN.

Still, I agree that it's still just one game but they gotta work hard to prove their mettle on LAN.

Here is my point -

Japan and SEA are both unlucky and get extremely bad seeds.
Because of this, they cannot perform to the level they can.

Paper Rex was placed into the death group.
Bren was placed with SEN.
CR was placed with Gambit.

If you put such teams against each other, obviously they will underperform.
ZETA division's group was much more evenly matched and hence you saw them actually give a fight.

Even in Iceland, X10 was placed with Vikings and later SEN. In the lower bracket, they went against FNATIC.

Crazy Racoons went against V1 who literally upset Liquid.

You cannot judge a team's capacity by placing them in such disproportionate groups.

On the other, a Brazillian team lost even to Japan.
They fail to win matches be it against NA or Japan.
The only victory they got was against a Japanese team.

Well, technically it's still SKRossi as the other 2 are not even South Asian but just South Asian descent.

Did you watch today's match?

Before Japan gets slots taken away, take away the BR slots.

Apparently, Brazil can be beaten by Japan.

Korea has proven its worth.

Paper Rex gave a bit of competition to VS

South Asia has not been given a chance yet.

China has not even released valorant.

Asia is literally the largest continent?

SEA has a larger population than NA.

South Asia has a quarter of the world's population and china occupies another fifth.

Korea is a powerhouse in esports and deserves recognition as a separate region.

The physical distance between any two regions is so large that tournaments and games just cannot be played against each other.

EMEA on the other hand is compact and densely filled with servers. Games can be conducted with fair ping with both sides on 50 or less ping.

My bad it was another team.

Let me do you one better, they clapped the entire tournament.

Exactly which part of my argument would you call delusional?

1) I expect GE to get 4-5 positions in LCQ but SkRossi to prove his jett skills regardless.

2) A small region like Korea can produce pretty good teams like VS.

3) A large region like SEA's seed no. 2 went toe to toe against VS. Arguably one of the top 3 teams in the world. Results are results and you see them. forsaken also proved with his high ACS against VS that he was not a guy that was just "farming t3 regions" but a genuinely talented player.

You are the one who thinks that VS was "not trying" and "pugging" and "saving strats".

Secondly, you believed a troll statement made buy a troll guy that VS 24-0's PRX. Who needs some fact-checking here?

Dude, maybe you save strats in playoffs in your region. Once you are in Berlin you are on the international stage and clearly, VS was not very comfortable in the win against PRX.

Also BTW, I know that GE won't win LCQ.

But you thinking that the game will always remain between NA and EU is just dumb.

I have been watching all these regions and seeing what they are capable of.

I was supporting forsaken even before he played internationally cause you can just see the talent.

If you are still willing to blind yourself to new and upcoming players around the world, you just get what is happening to EU right now.

Korea, a region people sleep on, and called overrated more than any other region, just beat Acend. Get yourself out of the EU copium.

Honestly, if I was not stuck with JEE I would have XD.

Yeah, make the cloudbursts last 0.01 sec.

Sentinels with a couple of days with tenZ clapped Envy.

A week is still too long.
