Actually, barring 0bi's shenanigans, X10C took XERXIA into double OT during their first map of the playoffs. They're a sleeper, and may as well go toe-to-toe with XERXIA.
Hong Kong/Taiwan. There's a reason it's separated. Riot has been separating the region into its own, considering the differences with the game (Valorant) not officially being released in mainland China. It started with League's now-defunct LMS (merged with SEA Tour into PCS), continues to Challengers HK/TW, and the WCS Masters in Wild Rift. It's their own thing.
*Hong Kong/Taiwan. Chinese Valorant is a different beast altogether. I've always had some reservations about HK/TW. From my observation, they barely have any consistency in their roster, especially during last year. Seems like they're slowly fixing it, but it's always been known that HK/TW is practically the weakest amongst SEA.
Correct. For Stage 2, Nodwin isn't the one who's organizing South Asia's Challengers. This time, it's Skyesports. Hence the different name.
The reason why we chose to show the Ro16 is the importance and competitiveness of the teams participating. If we chose to show from Ro162, it will have to justify the amount of manpower and how competitive South Asia is in regard to APAC. It's common practice, not restricted to this event.
I'm following what was shown in the broadcast.
Note: Due to BONK not being able to field a full roster for Map 1 (Split), the map is given to ORDER.
Anything to be toxic, huh?
He tried playing in Valorant but went back to CS:GO. Now he's taking an extended break - no clue if he's deciding anything soon.
You do know the map scores don't tell the entire story?
That's just the previous core system. This Academy roster has no previous tie to ex-Noble (well somewhat)
With MSI 2022 in Busan + crowd, I'd expect this year Riot to be more adventurous in their location scouting. I'd have a suspicion Iceland was a quick pick due to the ease and familiarity added with the time constraint compared to MSI which is like... still weeks away.
Pretty sure they stated Agent bans won't come until the Agents count around 30+ ish?
Honestly, I prefer it if there were Regional Leagues in SEA, it's going to be for T2 below. Each subregional Challengers are already an upgraded 'Regional League' on its own.
I think you missed quite a lot of stuff. PRX and BLEED aren't the only international roster that is or had existed in the past for APAC. For example, Alter Ego has a Malaysian playing for them, 3nable. Same with Morph Impact, hzm (since moved back to MY/SG). In the Philippines, Nigma Galaxy has Crazyguy and ZeesbeW as part of their roster. In Vietnam, Team OK has a Thai and a Filipino part of the roster. In Thailand, Attack All Around has a Finn playing. I do believe at some point, more cross-country rosters will pop up one way or another in APAC (SEA in particular), but with the regional roster limits 3 members having from the home region, for now, it'll be more beneficial for them to stick to a single region roster. PRX's roster is the way it is because it transferred over from CS:GO where both f0rsakeN and mindfreak were a part of it. BLEED has a lot of money.
APAC North is already announced as per the start of the year announcement by Riot. APAC will be divided into two: APAC North (JP, KR, and CN potentially) and APAC South (SA, OCE, SEA.) Each LCQ will grant one slot.
A separate lower bracket series
I mean I respect the hustle but it's 3 am over here and I'm still replying so spare some thoughts for those who replied to you
He's surf. Crws said it himself. He's not trying to fill Pati's shoes, he's trying to be himself. Do you know that prior to 2022, he never played in a professional team? This is his first major international LAN. Something we ourselves could only dream about, especially as a 18 y/o.
I call it as a win as they will still be classified as APAC in the LCQ Kekw
I'm here. All I could say is my joyous whimsy survive until now.
Really? That's what you want to call them? Whether or not Riot dropped the ball on DDK and Sean is a topic for another time. But the talents won't be everyone's cup of cake. Each has their own specialties. I know Bren and Sideshow through OW and TF2 so I'm delighted to have them here. JessGOAT I recognize her from Siege. Kaquka, Doug, Yinsu, Jacki, Doug, Mitch, Tombizz, Balla, all are making their own mark within the broadcast with their own set of knowledge and skills in relation to Valorant. And again, I understand not everyone's taste. But calling them clueless and lame? I take offense to that.
We try. WE all try. I will say sorry personally for disappointing you all. It's a tight rope to walk on to.
Yeah, I'm just going to stop you on that first point. That's a fucking cheap excuse. The talents are amazing and knowledgeable in their own business, and you want to point out their race?
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.
