I don't really think so? It's between BOOM and RRQ. And while I admit that BOOM making it in is honestly saddening, RRQ deserves it as much as BOOM does if you look into how Riot wants an org to succeed in the International Leagues. Good capita and investment sources, a diverse and widespread fanbase, and the ability to sustain themselves towards the future. Both match the criteria, both deserved it ideally.

do you seriously know the spesific reason why RRQ is chosen instead of them? i can smell politics here
Astar [#5]its not a permanent slot. dont be surprised if they will snatch it soon
...You do know how the partnership slots work right? As long as RRQ prove themselves to be competitive within the league and able to organically sustain themselves with their financials and fanbase, RRQ can stay as long as they can do those things, to be honest. BOOM has a chance to go through Ascension for now, but I won't be surprised if an expansion slot comes, BOOM is looked into again.

Well, I can only make guesses, but clearly, Riot chose them for a reason. Is it because they own OneUp and their well beyond financially stable? Internal politics will exist one way or another. It's not like we can ignore it, nor Riot ignoring the worth of RRQ's history and fanbase at the same time. Regardless, let's see what they'll do.
Faraday [#11]although I don't have a problem with what he said, a unprofessional post complaining about riot is a awful to get franchised and have a good rapport with them
riot being a dictator here. we will always never know the exact reason of their reason of choosing.
boom gave the most effort for our indonesian fanbase and they treated them like that

Riot being a dictator? HAHA! Truth may be there but please, let me indulge you in their reasoning.
The process was incredibly competitive, and we were humbled by the interest and the overwhelming number of applications we received. The selection spanned months, including a written application, in-depth interviews, and financial reviews. Ultimately, we looked for three things in our new VCT partners:
1 ./// Organizations who share our values of always putting fans first, celebrate our diverse community, and are committed to supporting pros
2 ./// Organizations who have created a strong connection with fans through engaging content, a compelling brand, and an exciting roster
3 .///Organizations who build for the long-term, with a focus on sustainability
It’s worth addressing directly that while we respect and celebrate past competitive performance, it was not a key consideration in our decision - as we instead focused on an organization’s ability to create the most compelling VCT for fans in the future.

100% agree but riot is adding more franchising slots every year or two right? So likely BOOM would get in next year if they just say nothing and suck off riot, publicly going against riot is the only way to not get in

most effort?
RRQ have wild rift division and have been put serious effort and investment with Riot games following their investment in ID and PH.

and in which category that boom dont qualify for that?

I didn't knew that 1up are owned by RRQ up until now lmao
Astar [#16]and in which category that boom dont qualify for that?
I didn't say BOOM isn't qualified (match the criteria) for the league, but I'm trying to say that BOOM not going in due to Riot being a dictator is laughable.
levia09 [#15]most effort?
RRQ have wild rift division and have been put serious effort and investment with Riot games following their investment in ID and PH.
thats literally the reason why the owner being salty and said "PC org"
acting like those mobile gaming fanbase will switch up easily into PC esports whilst boom esports always gave the most effort into PC

I mean you can do it. Cultivate an entirely new generation of fanbase, on top of your existing one organically. RRQ has already a good fanbase within Valorant; old ID fans that follow the old team, and the current PH fans with the current roster.
You can have both and have them both co-exist at the same time while creating a crossover.

in the end its all politics. its not like boom not qualified any of those categories
Astar [#16]and in which category that boom dont qualify for that?
did you read it properly? they might have failed the in-depth interviews, and financial reviews , who knows
Astar [#21]in the end its all politics. its not like boom not qualified any of those categories
Meh, get off your high horse. It's politics, but it's still one heck of an effort to get into the league. Orgs were creating 200-page proposals to make their case shown. Efforts will not be ignored by Riot. Same thing here.
Astar [#6]do you seriously know the spesific reason why RRQ is chosen instead of them? i can smell politics here
Windah basudara watch parties obv 😎
bro stop crying, literally its still an Indonesian Org, while boom had a good run on the last 2 years+, but i can see why riot picking RRQ over boom, bigger fanbase, definitely richer org, and they owned 1up which is closer connection to riot, and even tho they have putting serious effort on mobile games, we can't deny that RRQ was one of the most successful teams in indo, started with Dota 2 team, (pc game)
Astar [#19]thats literally the reason why the owner being salty and said "PC org"

you miss my point my friend.
riot doesnt care about their mobile fanbase because half of their division is not even Riot games right?
and they will not watching PC games BUT most Indonesian val fanbase will definitely watching them because of their new indonesian roster.
There are many variable that have been checklisted by Riot more than BOOM
- hosting some val comunity tournament in 2021
- owning OneUp
- wild rift ID/PH?
- val ID and move to PH
RRQ was established in 2013, they're one of the oldest and the best esports Org from SEA.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rex_Regum_Qeon)
Its founder is the son of a conglomerates in Indonesia (Midplaza Holding & Ayana Hotels) & already been in the esports/gaming ecosystem since 2011.
(https://www.midplaza.com/business/detail/qeon_interactive)
OneUp (sub-company of Qeon Holding, Parent of RRQ & OneUp) supports the Riot Ecosystem (Valorant & Wild Rift) by organizing Riot official tournaments in Indonesia since day 1.
They are also investing in both Valorant & Wild Rift ecosystem by building a team, their WIld Rift team is one of the best in the world.
They were one of the most notable DOTA 2 teams in SEA, they were the best Point Blank team in the world (FPS game that was popular in ID,TH,RU,BR).

They're consistently on the Top 10 most views team in the past 2 years, only from Competitive match, without TWITCH CREATORS. If you count their streamers view hours then ULALA they will be on that Top 3 or Top 5.

They might be a bit unknown on the international stage, because they don't have those American games, League, or CSGO titles. But if you are into Mobile Games, they're the King.
Ppl cry more about orgs man. Thats just the reality of how things work in partner or franchise. There's a lot of factors but a big org with no controversy, strong fan base, and good financials/history will always be favor. For a business standpoint it makes sense. Sure it sucks for some of the other orgs but when they enter valorant with the idea of franchising they already taking that risk.
Astar [#21]in the end its all politics. its not like boom not qualified any of those categories
BOOM probably checked all the boxes, but so did all the other teams that made it in, choices have to be made somewhere
I think it make sense for Riot to choose RRQ as Indonesia Representative. You can't deny the fact that RRQ is the most popular esports org here, eventhough they invest mostly to mobile games. But the popularity of the team means more viewership to the pacific league, and more viewership brings more money. In the end, they also want to make more revenue, let's think more realistic.
Astar [#5]its not a permanent slot. dont be surprised if they will snatch it soon
Its actually permanent slot? But u can get the slot from tier 2?
Astar [#16]and in which category that boom dont qualify for that?
Its about how u care on valorant event, ur fans, not about ur competitive, that is useless ur achieve competitive because since early the don't care about that
