Tldr Jess, Talon Manager, and Talon Social Media guy needs to be fined and apologise.

Man I wouldn't care too if It don't have to see "kr team can't win without scrim leak" on every comment/chat when Kr team plays.

Now that it has been established that the fist bump accident has nothing to do with Scrim leaking, it's time to actually call out the people INSIDE the scene who needs to be held responsible for Rumourmongering the whole DRX Scrim Leak allegations.

Full Thread can be found on X Here

Cheating allegations is something that should NEVER be thrown around so easily, which is why I'm shocked by the fact that some people inside the scene would do this without any remorse or feeling of accountability.

The Main insigator (for the english speaking community side) was Jess the Caster. Honestly it is so foul of her to try and justify the no fistbump from Frost with "there's rumours of Korean teams sharing vods" when she did it with ZERO context, ZERO evidence, and ZERO remorse.

Even when everything is straightened out, she still hasn't deleted her post or made any apology as if all the hate and bullying towards DRX (and even GenG & T1) didn't mostly stems from her tweet. I'd say this could even be ground for a fine, but with how Riot works at least give us an apology and delete that dumb tweet man.

Another one who made hard allegations towards DRX is actually Talon Social Media guy, which i found crazy cause bro how come you can't get the fact straight just from your own coach? And now that Frost said it's not scrim leaking, he just said "it's not my problem." Crazy.

On the Thai side, the main insigator was Talon Manager, but it is now been speculated that the fans might misunderstood what Talon manager said on their group chat (more detailed info on the thread above). But basically it seems like Talon manager said DRX gave info (evidence) about scrim leaking but the fans thought he said DRX is the one scrim leaking. However, i think it's malicious that the manager never corrected the misconception if it is the case that he got misunderstood. I think he still has to apologise and explain his chat.

To me these are the three that needs to actually be held accountable. There's more people that i think should apologise (u can check the X thread for more info), but what this 3 did is actually just unjustifiable.

According to this article Jingg only got effected by one tech problem (which got chrono break) while DRX got tech problems throughout the game which resulted in them tilting.

Rb is just a soloq beast… his decision making is something to learn from.

Yeah but why the hell are they allowed to play on such conditions and why does it seems like riot is hiding the fact from viewers…

But why does it feels like during the DRX vs PRX game 1, they only chrono break the tech issues that were obvious on stream? The amount tech problems that DRX was told to just play through is unacceptable. The fact that Zest’s statement on the tech issue was conveniently not translated during the post match interview is sus as f.

Idk why no one is talking about this. I’m 100% sure if another team with better english were the one who experience this it would have been more talked about.

Zest igl is not questionable at all i don’t think we watched the same match

If that so then hopefully if drx got great result here more orgs will want to invest on this…

I do think we will get more players wanting to go pro tho which is great for the scene

Don’t think that’s how it works they are already scrim partners and played each other since the beginning of Valorant.

It’s because they got so tilted by the constant bug they were facing on Haven… they kept getting alt-tabbed and Stax say he got so angry he gave up on that map after a while.

I translated Stax’s interview on my twitter but i’m not looking for any follow or anything i just want to talk about it here

What exactly do I advertise?

If it was a key bind issue I don’t think it would happen to three players at the same time… honestly i also don’t know because i’m not a tech person.

Technical problems are inevitable but to continue the match like this is just unacceptable. I feel bad for DRX man it must have been so stressful

Edit: One weird thing about this, Zest actually talked about the server problem during the post match interview, but the translator did not translate it and skipped it.

APAC LCQ is a fever dream

I always say that Korean and breeze are not a good pair. It’s gonna be ban 90% of the time.

I was catching up with the tournament and just realised this… why tf is hyeoni not on jett? I thought the whole reason they took him is his jett :O I’m honestly surprised.
