The live crowd problem

Live crowds this year have been absolute dogshit at international events.
Masters Madrid, Sentinels fans flooded the venue and ruined every good play made by teams against them.
Masters Shanghai, the crowd literally rooted against GENG the whole tournament and for Chinese teams for their entire duration in the bracket. (5 days.) Everyone else got pattycake cheers.
Now, in comes Champions Seoul, the biggest event of the year, will the problem be fixed?
Probably NOT.
Why?
Because so far, Sentinels look likely to qualify despite them being mid as fuck after Kickoff. Not to mention Fnatic also prone to qualifying. (The stupidity of the championship points system can be its own thread)
Both of these teams are by far the worst offenders for having the most toxic fanbase. You can argue that other teams have this problem; (For example, 100T.) however, said fanbases come nowhere near the level of toxicity they show towards their own team. These "fans" are literally just bipolar wrecks that find the smallest "mistakes" to point out (Which, most of the time, aren't actually mistakes.) when their team loses, and whenever their team wins they just glaze the fuck out of whoever had the most flashy play that round from their team.
Not only does this lead to many sick plays having crowd reactions like: "...", it also makes the online live chat utterly unusable due to how many visceral nincompoops spam the chat with unrelated garbage, or just flat out dumb shit. There are only so many times you can see "when does SEN play" and "[Insert player here] is so bad" before you wish that the chat mods would pull a 2022 VCT NA Challengers and just make the live chat emote only. Just look at yesterday's match, SEN vs 100T, and tell me the crowd wasn't dogshit.
TL:DR, The crowds & live chat for the whole 2024 VCT are absolutely botched due to toxic cringe SEN and Fnatic "fans"

I would've put LOUD in here but they haven't made jack shit soooo

allat

why

and then SEN plays and it’s just “HAHAHAH SEN” on round losses and “SEN HATERS QUIET” on round wins 😭

Rawr

if you read twitch chat you should probably be studied

okay

Don't worry, the only LOUD fans left (mostly) are the ones who genuinely want the team to succeed

yap fest I'm glad SEN fans show up to support their team, it's awesome. Keep it up ya'll.

1. there wasn't a single disrespectful sen fan when I attended masters madrid finals, and the spanish crowd cheered for Gen.G round wins.
2. oo aa ee
   get offline, talk to another human being, and stop pretending that everyone believes the same thing as you because you saw 2 other people say something similar

honestly I just accepted it

The problem has name, kids, enzos.

Loud for example, the org, has a big number of kids, thats why was so toxic.
Same as Sentinels, just kids.

????????????? having a biased crowd is cool as fuck your so miserable holy fuck

please watch ANY other sport game (soccer/football/basketball etc) understand this is a common part of sport culture and it will never change-and that it is HEALTHY for the scene.

If you still cant handle it go back and watch 2021-first half of 2022 games where there was no crowd because of covid

There will always be biased crowds depending on where the event and what people attend it. Stop complaining over something no one can change.

i mean if you have a clouted team and/or a team playing in their home country, you're going to have bias regardless. i wouldn't blame anyone in the audience for rooting for the team they like/are the same nationality as

also no one takes twitch chat seriously

this is just part of live "sporting events" in general and adds to much of the storylines in a way that many find appealing. even if this was a problem, I don't think it's something that can be fixed.
