The rules are pretty clear that the round shouldn't have been replayed. The people who are "agreeing" probably don't speak English as a first language (like @daniels_lsp) and are therefore likely not properly interpreting the nuance of the rules (or just ignoring them to confirm personal bias)

Copied from a comment I left on a different thread:

Point #3 is the important point here. Point #5 is irrelevant because it describes a round where the outcome was confirmed (SEN was NOT saving) and the round could not be continued (server did not crash - one player did).

You're wrong for the previous thread

Point 3 is the important point here. Point #5 is irrelevant because it describes a round where the outcome was confirmed (SEN was NOT saving) and the round could not be continued (server did not crash - one player did). Another important thing to note for anyone wondering why XSET vs FPX was replayed a while back - there is separately defined criteria for bugs. Section 9.1.2 of the same document notes the following:

"A bug that significantly impacts a Player’s ability to compete in the game,
significantly alters game stats or gameplay mechanics, and has no reasonable
mitigation steps. The determination of impact will be at the sole discretion of
Tournament Officials."

The outcome of the round was not obvious. Marved was attempting to retake and the round could be continued. The server did not crash, one player disconnected. Point #3 is much more applicable here

I wasn't watching that game. I'm curious to know what the decision making there was (or if there are revised rules I'm unaware of). It seems pretty cut-and-dry based on the documentation I can find

Duplicate comment

There's separate criteria for bugs than there is for crashes. See #19 for crashes. Section 9.1.2 notes the following for bugs:

"A bug that significantly impacts a Player’s ability to compete in the game,
significantly alters game stats or gameplay mechanics, and has no reasonable
mitigation steps. The determination of impact will be at the sole discretion of
Tournament Officials."

There's an obvious distinction here between the two where one is concrete that its not to be replayed unless the damage was rules insignificant and the other is at the discretion of tournament officials

I don't think the round should be replayed based on the above defined criteria, but I can't really say for sure. I'm not making any decisions here

From VCT 2022 stage 2 rules (cant find anything for VCL 2023 rules) section 8.3:

"If the issue takes place during a round and after the damage has been made and
the outcome of the round can still be determined (e.g. a single player has
dropped but others remain), then the round will not be replayed or restored. The
round will continue to be played and will count. Special exceptions can be made
if the damage dealt was ruled insignificant e.g. accidental teammate damage
dealt at the start of the round or damage dealt to the opposing side by the team
that was affected by the crash."

Based on that. I don't think it should be replayed. Keep in mind, there is completely separately defined criteria for bugs than there is for crashes.

This is obviously coming from a person who has nothing going in their life beyond Valorant

Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. The point is that you're going to have a hard time proving it

You shouldn't use fluke in general to try and prove a point. Its completely subjective. Subjectivity does not a strong argument make

I ain't reading allat. Next time come with a more substantial argument than "fluke"

fluke,leviatan beats them 2-0 with more prac

BBL has won a single map in EMEA league so far. WTF are you talking about?

Brother, this is post coming from a braindead shitposter. I wouldn't put too much thought into their choices

No you don't. This is a terrible take

When was the last time a Russian team won an international tournament? Pretty sure it was Sep 2021. Seems like a while ago

Obviously you lack reading comprehension. I wasn't contentious until he was disrespectful to me personally (see "calm yourself boy"). Your whole paragraph is a based on a false premise. What's the point in even continuing this?

Ya - I guess saying "You clearly didn't read the comment you're responding to" is me acting like he cursed someone's family. You can always tell someone's braindead when they start whipping out the skull emoji

Ya - my point is that no one is talking to individuals directly here. You're the one who mentioned you weren't talking to me. You high? Might want to keep up. Also, responding to someone by laughing at them IS toxic. Good lord you have 0 social skills

Is responding to someone by laughing wrong? IDK - seems kind of disrespectful. Not surprising given the "calm yourself boy". I guess we'll just chalk it up to you having poor tact. Also, I'm pretty sure Moiraine wasn't talking to you either

Not sure whats so funny given that Loud have a 95% win rate on ascent. Was it a nervous laugh?

You clearly didn't read the comment you're responding to

No - they'd need to win champions again

Garnishment of wages is a thing

Doesn't change the fact that 2/3 of your comments are obtuse and vitriolic

Might as well just say you're a kid and don't have a job

12 comments in the last ~hour. You might be on the clock, but you're not working

This guys comment history tells you all you need to know about him. Spends all day spewing vitriol over a video game. Big yikes from me

Considering EMEA has 2x the spots that NA has, it doesn't matter what OP said - its not a legitimate comparison. Only 2 teams have qualified so far, and one is from the Americas. Unfortunate your brain can't keep up - expected from the average EMEA enjoyer, though

Hopefully you have the same energy when people make inflammatory remarks about other groups of people. Like, for example, calling Americans "fat Americans" or "Burgers". I doubt it, though

You're the one who comes across as a little kid here

0/8. I'd say nt but it wasn't

Does it hurt your neck to constantly sit with your head all the way up your ass? You know your saying some braindead shit when RickyIndian is ratioing you

If you didn't care you wouldn't have responded. Maybe its time to head back to HLTV?

Keep huffing the copium. If you squint your eyes really tightly while watching lower finals, you might see DRX as FPX. Hopefully that helps with the delusions

Ya - proved they deserved their spots by seizing control of the lower bracket. Smells like copium

EU where?

Aged like milk lol

CS is not the father of FPS - this is plain wrong. Also, CS wasn't even the first shooter to have competition, there were Doom tournaments before CS even existed as a mod for Half Life. If Doom wasn't so popular, CS probably wouldn't even exist. What a bad argument to make

Alright. No point in either of us continuing further - we both perceive the intended recipient of his tweet differently - my perception being that hes addressing those fans who sent death threats, yours being that hes addressing all Brazilians in the world. Just for the record - I don't condone Xenophobia. Rather, I just think a lot of people are misinterpreting his choice of wording

If you were being sarcastic the comment makes even less sense. When you say "boys stop sending me death threats" you're addressing ~50.5% of the global population?

You literally just contradicted your own argument. I'd go into more detail, but its becoming a bit evident that my explanation would go in one ear and out the other

Sure. Whatever you say. When I say "what's up boys" to my friends, I'm definitely referring to all boys in the world. Same logic applies here

Great, so we've come to an agreement that his comments literally cannot meet the criteria for racism. I'm not going to bother getting into an argument of whether his comments are xenophobic, because its somewhat subjective and the hive mind has clearly come to its own conclusion - not really worth the time

Given that Brazilian nationality is neither a racial nor ethnic group, I think you're the one who needs to read it back

no need to respond then you mongler kekw

Look at this guys comment history. He's either baiting or has brain rot. Either way, not worth responding to with legitimate arguments

I'd suggest taking a break from this site. You clearly have some issues you need to work on and coming at me with that weak ass shit isn't going to solve them
