VCT GC "RULES" Discussion (EVERYONE COME)

Let's discuss this case together, no hatred towards each other. This is limited to justice

This is about the existing rules (please tell me if this rule is wrong or does not exist)

In the VCT GC rules it states that the maximum number of "specific gender" players is 2, while they state that this is an open event. Why should this maximum rule be given? Why don't they accept 5 "specific gender" players in one team? By giving this maximum standard for "specific gender" players, it means that they realize that there is a gap between men and women.

In my opinion and my suggestion, for teams that have "specific gender" players, a separate tournament should be created below tier 3 which can later be promoted to tier 2 and so on, even tier 1 if possible. And create an event that is specifically for players who were born female. It's sad to see these women who have worked hard and trained, while later on they encounter things like this.

What do you think? Separate events for each gender or keep it like this.

God bless you

The one thing I'm wondering is whether people would be interested in watching trans/bi etc. events or not as there's hate toward them so if they have a separate section in the vct like game changers, the viewership will be way below Riot Games expectation and the transphobes will be spamming the chat so much that it'll be a pain for them to handle these kinds of tournaments. Also, they'll have to decide when to hold these specific events as time scheduling would be a bit complicated.

They are keeping them as game changers because people still tune in to them so idk

please bro what is the source for this i have been seeing it everywhere did i miss it in the rules because it wasnt there when i checked

The whole point is to include gender diverse ppl into the game, they wont divide the leagues even more, the final goal for Riot is for game changers to disappear in the future because hypothetically VCT is someday gonna be played by males, females and etc.

It's a lose-lose for them if there were to be a new league for trans/nonbinary players. When they play in GC, haters will call it "men beating women" and then if they play in Tier 3 (their own hypothetical league), they'll get clowned on for not being good enough for Tier 2. Viewership will be a myth and if anything, there will be a more apparent air of toxicity from stream chat haters and such. There is pretty much no time in the schedule for another tournament so understandably trans/nonbinary players are part of the GC scene.

Look, I understand you probably feel sad for teams like ZETA GC, XIPTO or FALCONS VEGA, but you got to understand that quite a few of these GC players haven't even hit radiant. They worked hard and I respect that, but there is still work to improve upon to get your mechanics up. The strats is down to the coaching and IGLing which comes with experience and scrimming.

If the whole long-term goal is to bring GC in line with Tier 2, they are gonna be playing against men, trans, nonbinary players eventually so they can't be bubble-wrapped forever. Really, it's about embracing the challenge and focusing on supporting the teams you like than hating the teams you don't like.

hot take? #VALORANTChampions

1) this is incredibly disrespectful to the sport, to the viewers, to the opponents and to the tournament organisers and should not be allowed by RIOT in the first place to jump off like that to deny a round.
Maybe it is actually not allowed and if thats the case, G2 should be fined.
But if this is actually allowed or wasnt predicted by RIOT in the first place, thats on RIOT.
I spoke about this potential problem out loud on day 1 of Abyss release.

2) i understand that this negates LEV of getting 1000 creds and 5 orbs for killing the G2 players
BUT i think this is literally trolling/throwing a round by G2. In VALORANT every round is winnable, every round is doable and you just robbed your team off that chance.
Not only that, LEV didnt have to use a single utility piece to win this round which saves shitton of cash, and didnt have to rebuy any shields.
If you wanted to troll this round, G2, at least do it properly and jump off after your opponents planted, so you would waste more time and make them use util.

i dont agree, and i think ur jumping to conclusions.

the way i interpret this rule (tbh i have never seen it myself, just ppl talk abt it) , is that it is in place to stop players not truly representing a 'marginalized gender' from competing, and i can elaborate

there was a player, who truly didnt represent as such, and played in game changers. 'keenc' was a gc player who was basically faking being non binary (the way i understood the story)
he still had to join a team with women, and the women in the team had to accept playing with him. idk much about the team dynamic, but i imagine it took some work and effort

if this rule WASNT in place, keenc could just grab some friends and they could all say they are non binary, despite them not feeling that way truly. keenc wouldnt have to find people to play with. he and his friends could just play in gc without having to put any effort, as the real transgender players do

this isnt the confirmed reason, but i do believe that this rule helps prevent people like keenc from playing in game changers, making it way more difficult to find and join a team

If cis-women cant beat Flor/SRN/Jelly how the fuck are they gonna play against Aspas/Derke/texture gc is a joke and should not exist riot should instead just force every team to add a women (trans or not.)

yzmaes, I like the way you type. Something about it reminds me of how I used to convey information on this site.

these rule sets are only for a specific off season tourney, the SPOTLIGHT Event that riot hosted

Geniune question here: why do you think there's such a gap between male and "non-male" players? I've seen some GC teams play tier 1 or 2 teams and most of the times wasn't that close. We're talking about esports, these don't involve the physical aspect of the players which, in sports, is usually the responsible factor for this said gap. Since physical capability isn't the answer, how come there's this gap?
