There will be three acts all with points that will qualify teams to said Ascension

No, they probably got a reprimand behind closed doors. You'd be surprised how far it goes.
It doesn't show in the image, but in the video, it's shown the 3rd Split of Challengers in 2024 is actually the Season 2025 start! So Challengers in 2024 will still have two splits!
I want to introduce you to a player called Ray4C.
Wording is important; framing is important. Even if a sentence or a word isn't meant for ill intent, the context it is used within the overall argument will affect its meaning.
The "guest slot" complaints is basically that. Even if it's technically a correct term– the context, the situation, and where the sentence fits into the argument; it paints the tone of the entire story.
And that's the most damaging part. It framed his argument as if he saw the Ascension teams' effort is worth barely anything.
An argument with originally no ill intent turned upside down just because of a singular word that is used in the most inopportune moment.
Nothing wrong with calling it a guest spot, but surely there's better wording for it?
Ascension slots, Promotion slots...
Calling it just a "guest" slot makes it look like it wasn't an achievement at all to get it and undermining the effort.
I had tournament on the backlog for the past two weeks, don't worry! The problem is we still don't have access to Tencent servers and there are no VODs that we can backtrack, so it's a bit of a problem for now.
.....Kraif is still the head coach. She coaches two teams now.
THESE MATCHES ARE NOT SAFE FOR HEARTS ANYWHERE
Next year for nephh- unknown for deryeon
No, most CN esports broadcasts for shooters also do that. It's the norm.
The tournament client is private/CN client/Tencent so we don't have access to the API for now.
Not that easy. The VCT residency rules only applies for VCT dual citizens, which I doubt Jemkin and Kr1stal are (and considering they haven't played in any of the Americas, EMEA, and Pacific teams)
They will have to drop one if they win Ascension most likely according to the rules.
You are spreading misinformation as you speak.
OFF//SEASON is the end program of every competitive year.
Ascension is the Challengers end event of every season.
Ascension is every year. It's basically the Challengers version of Champions/Masters.
It's literally Australian casters casting Australian team lol
Welcome to the Chinese way of playing FPS: Raw aim aggression lol
(also add the fact TE is one of the more experienced team vs 4AM which is a low-mid tier team)
Hi, please refer to my latest post here for further clarification:
Correct, he forgot to mention this, as also missing the fact that this is for Dual Citizens, which Jemkin and Kr1stal certainly aren't. This is the VCT Roster Construction Rule, not Challengers. That means it's only in effect for Pacific, EMEA, and Americas.
Article 2.2.4 says that if a Dual Citizen wishes to change its home country/region, they need to play at least 50% of the average regular season matches played by all participating teams in the respective league.
Bottom line: They will have to ditch either Kr1stal or Jemkin if they make it to Pacific.
Riot typically has what is known as 'residency rules' — basically play in a region long enough and you'll count as a home region player rather than an import. The proponent of this is the LCS and the VCT rulebook does mention this, but not how a player would count as a resident (Valorant context). Jemkin and Kr1stal have been in Japan for more than 2 Challengers Splits, right? I need to dig a bit more either way to confirm
In the original case of Haven (XIA/ONE), it was them suddenly being kicked out of the server and returned back to the lobby mid-game.
In this one, it looks like the server DC'd.
...You still need a game client application to play the actual game, right. Even when it's LAN?
It's not just OneUp that solely hosts the event; they're just handling any of the external operations. Riot Pacific are on site as well to help, guide, and/or assist if necessary while handling anything force majeure related to internal game/tournament client, servers, etc (and some aspects of the opertions.)
Honestly, I blame the client itself. Or if anything, at this point, I have no clue. It's such a shitty situation for both the TO and the participants.
This is not on the production.... this is purely from the clientside.
You wanna fact check that statement?

Fact check.
It was. People really try their hardest to scapegoat, huh.
And of course, the players are the one that chose the agents in the game client.
BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL TAKE THE CHANCE TO BLINDLY SCAPEGOAT THE TO.

I have confirmation from the TOs that it is a tournament client issue and not a production issue. Now, let's stop blaming the TOs like people somehow always do and wait.
Right now, we just have to wait. The TOs will have an obligation to explain if this continues on and a potential postponement or other measures, but as a viewer, we just have to wait.
Complaining won't help. Being a smart ass won't help. The TOs are certainly working hard to fix the issue, but having smartasses who think they can do better won't help.
I got at confirmation from the TO that it was a tournament client issue, not a production issue. Now stop blaming the TOs.
Fella, it's not from the TO- the tournament client fucking kicked everyone out. That's out of their control.
You.... do know they are the ones who organized Challengers Indonesia for the past few years, right? The LAN in Taman Anggrek? The hype event?
The problem right now it's not from the TO per se, but a force majeure external factor which the tournament client dying on everyone. You can do 1000 rehearsals, but something will go wrong.
Glad it's still a unifying factor for all APAC fans haha
Client apparently kicked everyone mid match? Lmao
Stereotypical SEA chat lamo
It's from the game iirc
Hi! There were clarifications such as this exact paragraph:
While the format is yet to be announced, the playoffs will be held from July 3-16 in Shanghai, China, marking the first offline event for the region. Amongst the 12 teams, four had already qualified for the playoffs earlier based on the results of FGC Valorant Invitational: Act 1 and 2, while the rest of the participants played through a preliminary Swiss stage one month earlier in June.
And I know technically this was super late, but considering the Playoffs were coming up and it was right during the build up to Tokyo, figured an accompaniment to the official announcement from TJ Sports themselves would be better.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
