We are looking for one! If you know someone or are interested in being one yourself, send me a DM here or on Discord (TMosura#0412).

I'm terribly sorry as it is late and it's not that I intentionally ignore them as I deal with my other activities; I fully intend to try to update every single one of them and by no means do I treat this as a 'small tournament', but I apologize if I appear to be negligent of my efforts to do so.

missing Vietnam and HK/TW too

LMemore is on ONIC with NcSlasher.

Just stop.

And you're a literal asshole for claiming so.

Never really was hot during the JP playoffs, but they were close. They've been touted as the 3rd or 4th best team after ZETA and CR, and I'm so happy they realized their potential!

MEIY IS MY SOVA IDOL

It's not simply PRX throwing by themselves. Folks, it's the era of Korean Jett. May he rule with benevolence.

OT OT OT OT OT

Yep. D4v41 was the 'gadget'-ish jett main for PRX and he shared the role with F0rsaken before Jingg. It's not strange to see him play jett occasionally.

Don't talk shit about the casters. They're trying their best. They're suffering as we are. They're trying their best to save the stream.

Not without an outrageous reason. He's an idiot, but not more about that.

Thanks for catching it! Fixed.

And being an asshole/know-it-all about it is better?

It's still a lot better than this.

Stage 3 was fine, wdym?

Not even a third party; SEA/APAC have been working with amazing companies so far. This is what happens when you outsource the work to an unproven third party who never done a Valorant event.

Hi everyone. Due to unforeseen circumstances, stats from this match won't be available for now. We are looking into the issue as of this moment.

https://twitter.com/EliphantLtd. As far as I am aware, they have only done FGC events and SG Icon Series (Wild Rift.) No prior Valorant experience unless I'm missing something.

This is why you don't outsource to a company that has never done Valorant prod before this late into the season.

Don't use that as a reason to retaliate. You can be better than that.

Yes. To a company that to my knowledge, never done any Valorant production this late into the year.

I'm taking the personal decision to not nuke these threads for now, but please, do remind ourselves this is an international forum, and English is our preferred language of communication. While there ocassional comments of users using their native language, try to keep it civil.

Pregame live!

You missed the news by a month. Both Chinese teams won't participate due to logistical issues.

Fluked seeding game? Secret literally went through the lower bracket after got decimated by PRX (including a 13-1 Ascent humiliation) and returned the favour at the grand finals. Seeding matters. It's not a fluke. Not taking away from PRX's accomplishment, but kindly screw off with that bs.

We are still looking into it.

Per KJC Esports, this game will not be streamed due to production difficulties related to the raising of Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal #8 in Hong Kong. VODs will be uploaded in their YouTube channel.

Exactly

Basing on the teams that you've listed:

S+ - Paper Rex, X10 Esports, and Team Secret
S - Bleed eSports, ONIC G, Full Sense, BOOM Esports
A+ - Kingsmen, Louvre, Big BAAM, Foxy Araikordai, Alter Ego
A - CERBERUS, XcN, Team SMG, Morph Impact, Five Ace, CBT
A- - The Infinity Esports, Griffin Esports

My rankings:

1-3. X10 Esports/Team Secret/Paper Rex
4-8. Bleed eSports/ONIC G/Full Sense/BOOM Esports

5. Louvre
6. Kingsmen
7. Big BAAM
8. Foxy Araikordai
9. Alter Ego
10. XcN
11. Morph Impact
12. CERBERUS
    13-14. CBT/Five Ace
13. The Infinity
14. Griffin

SEA as a whole is very close. You could argue the disparities between the domestic success and their inter-regional performance, but I can't for my sake give a definitive rank for anyone in the top 8. They're so close to each other, but at the same time, there's a distinct difference between the three that is Paper Rex, X10, and Secret and the likes of Bleed, ONIC G, etc. The rest is arguable, as honestly some of them are either flash-in-the-pan gods, infamous choker bots both domestically, and the scarce inter-regional appearances.

With bias in mind, I'm looking forward to the new rosters of ONIC, BOOM, and AE. The self-destruction of the old AE created one of the craziest roster-fiesta since the end of Stage 1 and 2, and the balance might be shifted towards BOOM and ONIC now that whatever nameless faces AE is recruiting will soon be revealed.

Darkkky

It's looking like there won't be one considering the weird GF format that they've set up.

Alright let's not go there.

F0rsaken's agent pool is decent, so some have thought that he's being moved to a secondary role, testing the comp.

That's my bad. I inputted it wrong.

Each map has different agents ban. That's why Jinggg was able to play Jett on the first map, as it wasn't banned then.

Excuse me? Where in the world did you get that?

Sorry. We'll update it. We're a bit in the dark with the scheduling of the event - both from our side and our lack of local context. Hopefully we'll get a proper set up soon for Playoffs.

The TO had changed the bracket, and we updated it accordingly.

We'll put it on the homepage now but do consider that the amount of Indian/South Asian tournaments with a large enough prizepool that saturates the event page. SEA rarely got these inter-regional tournaments, and that was primarily the reason that it was prioritized. I personally apologize if TEC/Skyesports wasn't considered as high-priority, as I am the one who added Skyesports.

And to add another response I saw above: Yes, there are no Indian-based mods which detriments us on updating the match in an orderly and timely manner. But if you think you could help us, don't be afraid to reach out to me personally in Discord.

If this tweet were to be believed, it's not on the teams. https://twitter.com/dvcky_/status/1444865212679540741

It is a Bo5. I forgot to change it.

Yes, I am a moderator/staff.

Sorry for the wait, fixed. I based it off the toornament bracket.

INF wasn't able to check in on the required time allotted. ZLS receives 1 map advantage.

ZLS win Icebox by default.
Ascent: ZLS ban Sage; INF ban Killjoy

FXG ban Raze; NXG ban Killjoy
