I think you don't get how certain competitive scenes grow organically.
Riot has always been embracing creative and expressive freedom around their talent. LEC and LCS is probably the shining example of this in the West, with LPL and LCK in the East. They know what they're doing.
Everyone's still learning the ropes around the broadcast of the event. We're in Year 2. New talents will come and make their mark. You're not helping.
I will have a heart attack. Or several watching this.
Weird. It was that time when I checked it in Valorant Esports. Changing it.
someone wake NIP up from their pyjamas
Because it wasn't enough time. Long term, I would like to think Rawkus would contribute nicely
You do know it's literally the stream start time, not the match start time?
Fixed, kyknya tadi g nyadar salah klik tanggal.
say that one more time.
My apologies.
something and kr1stal? The Blue Bees players? They're literally Russian
Check the JP Challengers. Literally, there are 3 players that have been playing forever.
Been having trouble with the backlog of events, sorry for the late release!
3rd place is still amazing considering the 3 months that they're together. Stop hating.
Most of them are happening for LCQ. APAC will be divided into two, APAC North (KR/JP) and APAC South (SEA/SA/OCE). Most of them are still the same.
While EMEA is a fusion of Turkey, EU and CIS Countries like Japan, Korea, Brazil have seperated Qualifiers and theres no excuse about why they do so. In EMEA we have a lot of Ping diffs too and nobody is crying because of this (anymore). Wish Masters and Champions were really designed for the best of the best but with this childish system we have we will once again have Teams at Masters that doesn't deserve it and will end up winning not a single Match once again.
EU, CIS, Turkey (and MENA) is to EMEA is what SEA is to APAC. There are too many variables to justify giving each subregion their own slots on a Masters or Champions event. It would probably work if it weren't for the fact that there would be a massive overhaul of the tournament and circuit points system for the entire competitive circuit. Added with the scene at its infancy (we're still 2 years old ffs), there'll be room for growth and improvement.
NA should be fused with Brazil and LATAM so we would see only the best ones of America and not the ones who make it because there is no real competition in their small and isolated Region that is dominated by the Rich Orgs. I doubt the Ping diffs would be harder to deal than EMEA is dealing with for 2 years now.
Do you want ping problems? That's how you get ping problems. Riot servers are built so each shard has their own servers. Learn from APAC LCQ last year where KR, JP, SA, and SEA were all together and ping was a massive issue as the tournament goes. Thankfully with mitigations and planning it wasn't too much of a hassle in the end, but it still paints a picture of what an NA/BR/LATAM unified event would be online.
Mix whole Asian scene together like KR, JP, APAC, SEA and not seperate them or make it so every Region is completely separated.
I want to laugh so bad at this. See: APAC LCQ and any inter-regional tournament. Ping difference here is garbage It's playable, but it's utter doo doo. You will get ping problems, and people will complain about it. The level of competitiveness is already different between each region, and reminder that SEA is in APAC so your statement is invalid anyway at the start. KR and JP are big enough to sustain themselves while it's true that SEA would be fine as its own region, with the inclusion of South Asia and OCE in the mix, APAC is necessary. Also SEA counts for 6 subregions. Thankfully, this year's APAC LCQ will see an APAC North (KR/JP) and an APAC South (SEA/SA/OCE) so it wouldn't be too much of a problem.
Also why Iceland again when you have so many Fans around the World and you could do this Show always in a different place so everyone gets to see something new. But nope, Riot will do Masters and Champions forever in Iceland and Berlin and this is kinda boring, even for the Viewers.
At this point, it's a surefire-safe location. It's boring, but the fact that Riot has done MSI 2021, Masters 2 2021, and Worlds 2021 (after relocation), it's clear Riot is comfortable on making Iceland a new hub for their live events if push comes to shove. Obviously this is changed sooner or later, but I can understand their reasoning.
Not unfair, just unfortunate considering the current global political and health climate. Riot may be flawed, but this is certainly not one of them.
Bren was short noticed. While it was still a week ish before the event itself, Sleepy said that the time won't be enough for them to acquire the visas needed to travel if they were given the choice.
Asian CSGO can literally be described right now as a Chinese renaissance. Of course, previously there are multiple Chinese teams that were super popular like TYLOO and ViCi Gaming. Besides those, games like Point Blank, Crossfire, all define China's FPS scene
Think Sleepy said along the lines of they weren't able to get the visas in the amount of time if they were given the choice
With this year's APAC Last Chance Qualifier being divided into two (North for JP/KR and South for SEA/SA/OCE), I'm going to go on a limb here that if Valorant will eventually get an official release, they'll be categorized in the North region. However, I'm going to expect their integration similar to Vietnam back in Stage 2 last year with a shortened stage format and lesser slotting.
Not until the NPPA froze is finished. Valorant is stuck in a limbo ever since the unfortunate timing.
Reminder that last year, Paper Rex was denied an automatic qualification to Champions because they lost their Circuit Points tiebreaker with Bren Esports (now Team Secret) due to them losing the Stage 3 SEA Playoffs to... Bren Esports. They went to LCQ and lost accordingly. Seeding matches matter.
We based it off the scheduling in the Valorant Esports' website at the time which was at the start of the playoffs, it is 3 am now.
Lol no worries was just taking it out
Say again?
Is it not the same for the vocal minorities in several other regions?
It's literally the standard procedure
If it were 30 minutes, I would've been able to pull the results
That's what they did with Masters 1 (ESL) and Stage 2 SEA Playoffs (OneUp ID) last year
As much as I want to pile the hate, I think it's getting tedious and boring. Yknow, external factors are also considered?
It's currently storming hard here. I can imagine it's happening elsewhere, and it's affecting the internet all over
But yknow, if not, I'd chalk it to typical SEA internet showing it's ugly face
Louvre + Swedes reign supreme
Skimmed that part, my bad
Vocal and toxic minority. Gotta remember that.
My heartrate on that OT, wp XIA
If ONIC is better than BOOM or PSJ, why did they underperform when it matters the most in Challengers ID even if they did well in APAC? BOOM is still an amazing team, but they're failing. They're underperforming.
BOOM is being outclassed by an amazing team with a huge amount of experience behind them. XERXIA shows why they're still SEA's best even under massive pressure. Good god, I can't wait if they're going to Iceland.
See here's the thing. You said what you want to say, but let's be truthful to the regional context here. Even at their worst, Indonesia is still the second or third best team in SEA, if not APAC. I do believe Thailand is just so well prepared, balanced, and talented that they're basically miles ahead of the other regions. You're just displaying a kneejerk reaction to a team that has international experience outclassing one of our best collection of players in a roster (with me displaying a bit of copium in that sentence).
We just can't make excuses; the teams can't make excuses. Superstars are one thing, but adaptability to competition is also as important.
Let's calm down on the Bleed hate.
