Losing decisively to GE twice means they’re nothing more than a bottom-tier team now. 2026 marks the downfall of Korean teams.
P.S. - Bro, forgive me. I’m not insulting NS—they just kind of slipped my mind, haha

Sorry, but today we’re going to give N4RRATE, who ran back from America, a harsh dose of reality.
The prestigious clubs of Europe aren’t so forgiving🐴
This is from a VOD by content creator from SCARZ (JP Tier 2).
He was invited by Riot to a public viewing party for MIKS in Japan, where he had the chance to interact with upper management from Riot JP.
During that, he directly asked them to “do something about Neon’s current state.”
Riot JP’s leadership responded, "We’ve been voicing our opinions as well, but those opinions aren’t getting approved.”
He also spoke with other Riot employees, and apparently everyone internally agrees that “the current state of Neon isn’t good.”
So it seems likely that something is preventing changes or adjustments to Neon.
Trexx is scary because, unlike other toxic players, you can’t really tell on camera or on social media.
But other pro players and teams are all clearly afraid of him. It makes you wonder what he’s actually doing behind scenes
On Twitch, ads are playing as if nothing has happened, but in reality, will it actually be possible to hold the event? (Non-political topic.)
In the controversial DFM match, he was pretty normal on Abyss, but after they dropped the map and moved to Pearl, he revealed his true form LMAO
It’s said that the investment in LEC does not match its current situation.
LEC There are reports from multiple sources that while they will relocate their offline venue from Riot Arena Berlin next year, most of their matches are expected to be played online.
As for VCT, which shares the same facility, nothing is known at this point.
It seems tha LEC will be held online (according to an LCK analyst).
I’m worried about what might happen to VCT EMEA.
from the perspective of viewers in Pacific user. this Masters event felt rather underwhelming.
I think international tournaments are exciting because of the pride battles and the drama between regions.
There may have been some matchups with a high level of strategic play, but honestly, there were very few moments throughout the tournament that truly made me feel excited.
It was fortunate that crowd in Chile wasn’t as bad as the one in São Paulo.
Hopefully London will have more closely contested matches.
880K viewers.
Could this be one of the lower-viewed tournaments in its history?

They must have felt sick because of this
What happened to mada
Has anyone played it?
Apparently Tencent has stopped funding it, so the service is going to end.
The hole he jumped into led to the 100T office building.
Since it’s unfair that Chinese teams and non-Chinese teams end up with the same rating calculations, I think a special coefficient should be applied to them.
One of the teams that wanted to change the matchup transferred money into Leo Faria’s bank account
TL is the king of lower bracket, and kamo will get 100 kills and defeat the annoying Fnatic to secure a ticket to San Diego.
For now, compared to their predecessors, it feels more like a personnel replacement than a real upgrade to the team’s strength.
The ban news sent shockwaves through the competitive scene😮
Let’s take another careful look at all troll clips and report them to Riot!!!!

They have been expelled from LCP and completely excluded from RIOT’s competitions.
TLN has fallen into bankruptcy, and some of players even had to pay their own expenses to attend Worlds.
team expected to face a lawsuit from players.

G2 might have committed a major fraud
Honestly, I don’t really know what exactly triggered this to be noticed by KR fans and cause an uproar.
I just noticed it because the latest video on meiy’s YouTube channel was full of hateful comments about this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eCYgsLQru0
It seems that during a stream, meiy spoke about his dissatisfaction and struggles with staying in Korea,
and that VOD has been circulated within KR community,
resulting in many Korean fans attacking him with hateful comments.

There are many reasons why he finds life in Korea difficult (including issues related to a chronic lung condition he has), but part where he said,
"Something good about staying in Korea? Nothing. Seriously, nothing at all (lol)." was clipped and spread, causing some KR fans to dislike and attack him.
Indeed, regarding this comment by meiy, when you watch VOD, meiy speaks in a thoughtless tone, so it’s understandable that it drew backlash from people living in Korea.

weak that even their opponents showed consideration and hesitated to taunt them.
Even enthusiastic VCJ fans give up on cheering

As of today, Gen.G’s contracts with 't3xture' Nara Kim, 'Munchkin' Sangbeom Byun, 'Karon' Wontae Kim, and 'Lakia' Jongmin Kim have come to an end. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the four players for their dedication and contributions throughout the 2025 season, and we wish them continued success in the next chapter of their careers.
Lost every game? Don't worry about it —
You're guaranteed at least one win.
Because we're here.
hahaha
Given S1mon's impressive performance in Ascension, it's no surprise that he's being re-evaluated.
Also, staff members at EDG who were responsible fo conflict have been let go.
So while it might seem unlikely, the possibility of a return isn't entirely out of the question.
There’s leak on a Chinese VCT forum claiming that S1mon has multiple Tier1 offers, and that EDG is trying to bring him comeback.
If it’s true, it’s honestly kind of hilarious.

If a brawl broke out at a LAN tournament, which pro player do you think would come out on top?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
what is this clip, RIOT?
Are there any standout rookies or up-and-coming talents in EMEA Tier 2 scene who look like they could really pop off in 2026 VCT?
Lar0k has already been making waves — even in Asia community, people are talking about how cracked he is. But I’d love to hear about other names too.
Who are the breakout stars, hidden gems, or young guns that you think will dominate this next season?
Any players showing insane mechanics, smart plays, or just that “it” factor?
He trained constantly in 1v9 situations in Japan's Tier 3 — a classic example of traditional Japanese training methods.
While RRQ maintained consistent results throughout season Pacific region, they were almost completely outclassed in all three international tournaments they qualified for.
What do you think is the reason behind this?
If we look purely at results, teams like SEN and Liquid have had similar issues.
But in Liquid case, we've seen frequent moments of clear confusion in crucial round, and for SEN, discussions have already been had about some of their a weak link.
I'd like to hear more opinions on RRQ specifically.
Jaccob… Max… Kangkang… He has obtained the cursed ring that is given to greatest player in VCT
Thanks for the info,Cryo is often called Kirito, based on the origin of his name lmao
Edit:While dep was active as a PUBG pro a Japanese caster once referred to him as "The Child of God"(神の子) during a match. Since then, some users have used it as a nickname for him.
(However, it is said that he himself doesn’t like this nickname.)
As title suggests, I'm wondering if any pro players who play on the global stage have nicknames that are only used in your country.
For example, Japanese Valorant community, Alfajer is commonly called "新人" (shin-zin = newcomer). Almost every user refers to him this way.
reason is simple: the name "Alfajer" is both difficult to pronounce and unfamiliar to JP user.
When he joined Fnatic, JP community didn’t know who he was, so they just referred to him as "新人" to make things easier.
There's no need to explain how much of an impact he's had on Fnatic since then.
But the nickname "新人" stuck because it's easy to read, and now, even in 2025—despite being the second-longest standing member on the team—people still call him "新人".
"Fnaticは新人だけのチームだな" → "Fnatic might as well be a one-man team, Alfa carrying whole thing."
"新人が今日もクラッチした！" → "Alfa clutched again today!"
...Something like that.
If you know of any other interesting or local nicknames, I'd love to hear them!
crashies... there's no more room for excuses.
The difference in performance is obvious.
