paprika and perfect blue not mentioned is criminal

edit: nvm u said action, in which case akira not being mentioned is criminal

good job keeping it real man

shanghai or tokyo had the best masters trophy imo

haters are dedicated

few know this but Talon actually invested their money into an underground secret laboratory with the goal to manufacture the best Valorant player of all time.

Primmie was experiment #3, but the lab got shut down along with Talon.

rrq is 100% jemkin

ts tuff asl

jessievash clears that bum

ok

respect varrel they played like shit but i like their players and their logo is lowkirkenuinely clean

PRX look better and better with each game

used that shit and its genuinely impossible to hit anything because its so big

people need to realise that thinking ragebaiters are representative of entire populations is low-IQ behaviour fr

according to Sungmin, the penalties are a forfeit

okay so evidently you have never been to a pacific event, or maybe even an actual vct event?

if you go frame by frame stax literally raises both of his hands to do fistbumps at the same time as he moves his mouse, and that's with the player cams probably synced to the stream delay

as for the crowd celebrating instantaneously, that's because they're literally watching the stream on a monitor within the arena lol. please attach the proof of you actually attending a vct pacific venue because otherwise you are literally the type of confidently wrong you are calling me out for. at least i have the receipts to back up my words.

as for the 5 second delay, it's nothing or something depending on what the casters are calling. but for smoke spams? it's probably not exactly reliable information.

pickleguy483 is just yapping

which event does it not work the same at? because it definitely works that way at the pacific events.

yes i never attended a vct or league event you got me!

when i visited jakarta i saw a fair few smokers. might just be my experience though

i dont even know what i just wrote either i just put some bullshit together

i say every caster should speak specifically in blackpilled incel vernacular so nobody understands what is going on

"PSL 3 Chad Cryo just BULLETMOGGED the JESTERMAXXING TWINK MIBR IGL while he was WALKGOONING and spiked his cortisol levels by 500%!"

smoking is VERY common in Asia, especially East Asia.
there may be other ways to relieve stress but smoking a ciggy is quick, convenient, and normalised.
yes there are public health awareness efforts but people who turn to the cig would never have listened to them anyway. public sentiment regarding smoking is not the best either, but people do it still.

it looks more like anti-rrq bias than kr bias after the prx incident

im surprised they only get 200fps with a 4070 though what kind of software is running on those pcs man

young people smoking is surprising in probably one of the highest stress regions for young people for a high stress job?

coach does not see opposing team's picks. we don't know how the lobby was remade - either prx could have just not picked any agents and went back to the lobby screen or they accidentally picked an agent they didnt mean to and remade the lobby

i personally don't think prx did anything shady and it really was just a mistake that happened twice somehow though

ngl i started crashing out when you still acted like you didn't think it was true after i lowkirkenuinely just told you i have been there in person my bad gang

but one purpose of the delay is also so they have control of random events ingame or out of game that may warrant a pause in the stream.

ignore the truth from someone who has literally attended vct events in person yes you are 100% correct bro my perception of reality is simply wrong and not factual and sollipsism is a confirmed truth.

this shit is also how it works in league btw.

i thought he was talking about PRX not choosing their agents and remaking the lobby twice because of it

yeah apparently neither did PRX for not locking in their agents. Twice. this is crazy

my brother i have literally been to the venues in person the shit they show on the screen at the arena is delayed from what i see on the monitors and the korean casters are literally at the same venue. you think the watchpartiers and the casters are far enough apart where one needs a delayed stream and the other shouldn't for....what reason?

lmfao i can't lie remaking the lobby TWICE and being late by 18 minutes is insane, without good reasons for these i feel bad for rrq. really treading the line here with these "honest" mistakes tbh. hope riot enforces harsher standards.

here's a link to the post-match conference: https://youtu.be/CvtV-KVcB2Q?si=Rz-mHdKAyP510qZi

the korean casters, much like everyone else including in-person watchpartiers (infamous chobra "why are the lights turning on?" moment) are viewing the stream displayed at the venue, which has a delay. i am fairly certain this is like that for literally every vct event.

holy rrq drama

at least it's not just the korean teams being exposed 😭😭😭😭

stax for sure smokes
wouldnt be surprised if buzz and munchkin also
maybe izu, i dont think meteor smokes

as for whether they were the ones jemkin saw, i have no evidence of that. maybe. either way, if it's true it should be addressed out of fairness. either everyone gets to smoke or vape or no one.

atp anything he says can be seen as excuses but riot lacking proper technical gear for their venues has been a real problem since last year when Derke and TenZ called them out for shitty PCs. nothing wrong with what he's saying.

"T1 players always smoke and vape in pee breaks and get no penalty, but anytime we do we get penalty"

this is a serious double standard and if it's true should have real consequences

pros abuse the crowd noises for sure, they also abuse hand positions across the stage, but a 5 second delay is actually longer than you think. you can check for yourself in a demo.

as for the actual issue itself of being able to hear casters, i remember in 2024 pacific suffered audio issues during the t1/geng game. so it's not the first time.

also during ascension in 2024 the audio was super loud and people couldn't hear anything during the group stage. feels like audio in general needs to be looked into for sure.

5 seconds is a lot of time, plus there's no guarantee that the observers will be on your POV

ts is so annoying bro, acting like there is no delay between the stream and the game, and that players will actively ignore what's going on in the game in front of them to favour the Korean casters who may not even be watching their POV like it's just harmful speculation.

besides, 3/5 Korean teams literally got eliminated?

it's just excuses. Korean teams got 1st and 2nd, so now everyone is saying they must have had an unfair advantage. Soundproofing 100% is impossible, no matter the venue. Meteor even mentioned on stream that the Korean casters got himself killed before back in 2024, this is not an advantage for anyone. Masters Toronto had English casters on the venue and for sure some sound was leaking. Same goes for like every event. This is just how it is for pros.

the worst part is when the Korean teams get eliminated it's Korea's downfall and they are bad, but when they win it's because they're listening to Korean casters. shit is tiring to listen to and people can't help but be sore losers.

you know there's a delay between the stream that the korean casters are commentating on and the actual game right

t3xture zekken buzz jawgemo and demon1 also should be there

i feel so bad for GE man these guys have the worst luck ever
