It’s not a third party event like others. Riot is an official partner and they are being paid a shit time of money to allow this tournament

EMEA ends 2 weeks after every other region for no reason. They could have coordinated better. And yes it’s THEIR game, they have the responsibility of caring enough about this things to figure it out

And another thing. Tier 2 games are being played everyday at the same time as VCT. The reason it’s not allowed it’s because Riot consider this a Major event themselves

Well I already made a thread calling EWC a joke. I got for everyone

But yes, it is also Riot’s fault. This tournament is big enough and you’re the partner for you to have to worry about your game

1. They’re insane for scheduling it at the same time. That is both parties fault

2. They’re insane for not even allowing radio mode

3. They’re insane for not allowing the other regions

Nah just updating people. And I thought this tweet was hilarious

Why wouldn’t day, it’s fans they struggle with not CEOs xD

2 reasons

1. This is not an exactly an offseason event, this is a major event where Riot is partnered and they are ultimately the responsible people to facilitate things and make a good product

2. As I said you can make the argument for EMEA because of the retarded scheduling, but vetoing the other regions is retarded

EMEA you can make the case, vetoing Americas too is hilarious

Well it’s Riot who is forbidding to stream the games because they are at the same time as the playoffs. Specially forbidding it for Americas when there isn’t even schedule clash

Technically speaking they can’t, however we’re just gonna have to “trust them”

Pipson method is back

Whoever doesn't post the voicecoms.....

The schedule part is not their fault but this is hilarious. Someone sign NBS IMMEDIATELY!

Trust the teams what could go wrong

Update: Riot might be reconsidering with all the club pressure. NA orgs are asleep but when they wake up and push I imagine they will at least overturn the Americas veto

Getting kicked is troll, but the tweet says:

"When a clown moves into a palace he doesn't become a king. The palace becomes a circus"

streams are forbidden

The CEO complaining about the watch parties for EWC https://x.com/JoseGIANTX/status/1923303377842184284

Just called Riot clowns xD

Update: Lev says they will record the game and rebroadcast it after xDDDDD

#28 is what he said they told him

No Americas either btw guys

For everyone to compete in "equal content conditions" they are forbidding it aswell xDDDD

He says he can't see Americas either https://x.com/LucasRojo/status/1923347864811434359

there isn't anything Riot can do for M8 not to be relegated this year if they do not win ascension, which I think they will

not sure they're streaming Americas either. I don't know 100% tho

that game would have more viewers than the TH vs FNC

He left because they didn't offer him a HC position, only assistant, I think it was the right choice

Nope, I believe not even showing the live scoreboard

everything I said is

Riot not allowing teams to stream the Qualifier games is insane, wtf man

He is retired and still everyone remembers the way he aimed, if that ain’t cheating idk what is

Otakar trust

I’m thinking we need more than aimbot

GX already did

I know what Sean Gates was talking about. Don’t you think it’s too big of a coincidence this comes out as soon as FNS retires. He was very obviously using aimbot

Tbf Riot allowed known CS matchfixers so Ig we could have expected it xD

LATAM orgs buying NA teams is crazy work

well it's clearly not affecting his individual performance xD

Is there a specific reason for Neon to IGL or is it just to switch up for fun lmao

No way Russ ring before Boaster Champions

Ocelote's Pheonix was sharp bro

Yeah Apeks new roster is

SimonDark
Molsi
Batujnax
Avova
Tag

I think you're misunderstanding my point. You think I'm trying to say the Spanish league is underrated, I'm not. #6 is what I mean

None of them are "spanish" I'm talking about the league not the nationality. I could call it by it's actual name but if I say LVP Rising people don't know what I'm talking about xD

And those players were not picked up last year, they were picked up right now for some reason and they were all playing in the Rising

Only the serial pick has been solely on merit alone.

Where do the Tag and Simondark pickups come from then

Picking up a turk mid season is complicated for a lot of reasons I do understand that. But Spain's not the second best league either what about EAST DACH? Nobody looking there?

Well that's the funniest part, none of them are actually spanish xD

The players that do fit that category are Monster because he comes from KOI Academy and Ara/Flickless because UCAM is partnered with GX, but the rest are really random. Tag and SimonDark to Apeks is weird af. TL has an insane academy and they come to Spain instead for Serial

Yeah KOI replaced the coaching staff with simoz from DNSTY and he brought BaddyG with him. And then they promoted Monster from the academy and signed Natank from Lev.

But yeah there's connections all around

Monster and BaddyG played together in Acend
BaddyG comes from DNSTY like simoz
BaddyG played with natank in VIT
simoz played with Filu last year in DNSTY

That I actually do agree with, it's extremely deep. That's probably due to the merger with Italy and Portugal, didn't improve the top teams but the depth quality

Yeah krejz will make VCT soon too he is really good

Well we haven't proven it at all at past years in Ascension nor this year at the EMEA Challengers so I understand if people don't think so

Also kind of hard to be if anytime a player is half good he gets snatched away xD

Not saying the league deserves to be ranked up higher. And as you say is not like these players are insane or something
So tbh I'm just kind of confused which is why I'm posting it

EMEA VCT
Serial Monster BaddyG Ara Flickless Tag SimonDark from Spain
cyvoph Veqaj from France
comeback from Turkey

Even if you count not only rookies natank from France and grubinho from Spain.
Those are the 12 roster moves made after the start of the season in EMEA without counting whatever going on with BBL's stand ins
