We knew later after this incident. I re-watch their match again in the group (Bleed vs Boom). They did the same thing. If Bleed knew it was a bug, they should've complained back then so that it did not become a drama like this, no?
So. there are only two possibilities: they didn't care because they won in the end, or they didn't know it was a bug at the time.

I dont think thats a known bug. I just know from this match that it was a bug. Even most of us know that was a bug because of this incident (seeing no one complaints when they used it in group)...I mean if Bleed won from the start, no one ever know that was a bug and there will be no complaints..

chill man...its bo1 and its a fun tournament. they even bench forsaken for their 6th player...

Right now yes absolutely.
But whole carrier. Nah, he still need to prove it....

Watch twitch nats if you want to see TL, or mixwell for Heretic match...

since every franchised team should have a female team. I think it will continue next year....

sheeeshhh....accurate guess...

what happened with #1 Guild?

Odder that they were invited directly, not passed from the qualifier, while GE (as a franchised team) on the other side must qualify first to participate on the tournament...

In EU or Brazil maybe still need more time (it could be never bigger there). But in Asia and NA, Val is already bigger than CS...

wow he get 0 kill? lul...

I disagree for this...Valorant is more competitive than CS since all the region can compete together at the highest level, and the gap is not too high. While CS is really dominated by EU...

NA : ShahZaM
EMEA : Zeek
APAC : Dubstep

Us, as an audience did not know whether they were indians or not. Facts that they spam the chats were really annoying. I even did not know who is skrossi before those spam. So I believe this is one reason why he get many hate rn, although I believe some of the hate actually is not the hate towards him but for his fans.

lmao...why did you use google translate...its become weird the translate

its the fans bro. I remember when in the early days of Valorant, his/Indian fans always rioted in the comments column for Valorant matches anywhere (NA, EMEA, or APAC) by spamming his names, and disturbing other fans.

Nah its unreasonable when you said someone is better than the other one just because one of them did not have any chance to prove in LAN...we should just stick to the fact that Leaf is still better than Zekken (based on the stats rn) until they meet in LAN....

I never see Zekken stand out againts Leaf in any match XSET vs C9. and in overall this year if we see the stats of tournament VCT stage 1 and 2 where they compete in the same tournament, Leaf is still better than zekken...

One of the best teams in a category of conpetitive VALORANT -Game Changer, Alter EGo Celeste
has one of the best players in APAC in that category - Eneriii

At the end of the day, esports career is short. So he make a really good decision...

Dude, Zellsis played Kay/O almost 10x more than he played neon. Even he played KJ and sage much more than he plays neon. Zellsis is mainly a flex player not a duelist. He can switch the role with Xeppa.
Leaf also can play Skye and viper in some occasion.
Vanity probably will stay on smoker and yay in full time chamber.
So technically 3/5 players can really change the role depend on the map/situation.
The thing that i agree with you, they dont have a proper sova player, but i believe any other C9 roaster, except yay can learn this agent.

I know they may change the role. But still signed 3 duelist (Wronski, bazzi, and t3xture) is a little bit weird...

Nah without sscary... he was like the last boss for other SEA orgs before....

Wll....you made a really wrong comparison. right comparison for you
Fnatic come 2nd, DID NOT QUALIFY to Berlin
PRX come 2nd, QUALIFY TO Champs

Tried to make a equivalent comparison
ENVY/OPTIC (2nd Master Berlin - GET GROUPED in Champs 2021 - Won Reykjavík 2022)
LOUD (2nd Reykjavík - GET GROUPED in Copenhagen - Won the Champs 2022)

Actually they are..in one of podcast, the CEO of RRQ said that Riot asked them to represented which country: Ph (their current rosters) or Indonesia. And their CEO chose to represent Indonesia. thats also one of the reason why RRQ now being hate in their own country, because they represent Indonesia but chose 5 rosters from PH.
However in international level (like Champions), they will represent their league (Pasific, America, or EMEA)....

Ow...so the news merger with GE and that ongoing merger is different case?

as far as I knew Bleed want to merge with GE for the franchising but maybe failed and they did not applied. Even though if they applied they have to compete with PRX as representative for SG/MY...RRQ is picked, I believe because they chose to represent Indonesia.

not sure..but definitely a good adding after the warning...he is a good IGL and fragger....

right after that warning rumor, they posted to recruit more player

Riot mentioned 3 thing:
Fan Love & Culture - putting VALORANT fans first is at the forefront of everything VCT. For this reason, we ensured that all teams chosen are well-loved across the region and this has undoubtedly been the most important factor throughout the process.
Sustainability & Collaboration - we ensured that every team joining us were in this for the long haul and willing to work with us to best deliver on the future of VALORANT esports.
Motivation & Values - we want to work with teams that share our values and vision for the future of VALORANT.

They have actually tons and loyal fans. They are also stable in term of financial. Riot maybe considered that. beside also there is a possibility of their previous relationship in the wild rift...

But in the end they become a public enemy for the valorant community in Indonesia, which probably make riot not happy.

Yeah...probably he/they hated GE but then he/they hated RRQ more than GE rn....

It should be any Indonesian team or maybe Vietnam team since that they are the only countries that compete regularly in Apac but does not have any representative rn in APAC...

I think its possible...
They posted it
https://twitter.com/teamrrqofficial/status/1580943437033254912?cxt=HHwWgMDR5cDr0fArAAAA

Then their CEO ig story also said "similar"...

RRQ make a promise to the community that will be min 3 Indonesian Rosters. But then, in the end they only picked 1 Indonesian roster and keep the current roster (which are majority tier 2 rosters). Basically they feel betrayed by that then will support any team that against RRQ, including GE..

From what I heard they tried to merge with GE, but did not know whether they applied for them self or not...

Basically when they applied to Riot they chose to Represent Indonesia. Further their CEO make a promise that there will be min 3 Indonesia rosters in a mix INA-PH team. they trial 6 Indonesian rosters together with 6 current roster (ph) + 1 other ph roster. In the end they picked majority current roster with 1 Indonesian roster. Become a problem because the rosters they picked cant even compete in APAC scene. They compete 1 time in VCT 2 to be destroyed in a group stage with only win against GE and destroyed by Xerxia and 3rd team of Indonesia (Alter Ego).

bleed was not selected because SG/MY has already PRX imo. From what I see every SEA team represent different country. So if RRQ kicked by RIOT the replacement probably will be from Indonesia or even Vietnam not from SG/MY.

I believe Riot see the country representative. SG/MY is already represented by PRX. dont know if BLEED could get the spot even if RRQ get kicked. RRQ imo get picked because they choose Indonesia instead of Philippines. If they choose the latter, I believe they wont got the spot since there is TS.

so many bad rumor about contract in the beginning. But it could also be mibr.

or MiBr?

if internal problem. Could also be LOUD?

Jawgemo played impressive on the stage 2 and LCQ. Boostio also played quite good. Only c0m that I think that is not a franchised player...

Nah...its the same year, only 4 months diff...you just making excuse for your nonsense comparison...
also you forgot, before NTH win 3-1, they lost 2-0 in upper bracket from ZETA.
by head to head ZETA still win 3-2 from NTH.

btw idc about prediction, I only stated the fact by using your logic...

dude think valo is math...
then with the same logic (from international tournament perspective)
EDG get kicked from the tournament by Team Liquid (0-2), while Zeta kicked Team Liquid from the tournament (2-1)

in a way Zeta is stronger than EDG until they meet

APAC:
Duelist : enerii (AEC)
initiator: Jinny (X10)
Smoke : Poly (X10) /Alluka (AEC)
Sentinel : Kohaibi (SMG)
Flex : Alexy (BREN)

I may agree when they picked Shroud and Tarik...but the last 2 videos (Zekken and tenz) were meh....

lmao....he knew 1 detained but threw 2 smoke for no reasons, then picked the OP...

definition of good aim but no brain due to many mistakes in decision making....
He is probably the best valorant player in India, but nowhere near top 10 in APAC. he has talent tho.

dude its Russia..

ofc. if we see the result, ORDER def better than RRQ and old Fancy has +1 round diff than RRQ.
