wtf
rito has made a habit out of screwing our region over.
Cancelling OPL, Fucking us over in the entirety of 2021 VOT, Fucking us over in NA LCQ 2021.
and now refusing to put an OCE team into franchising. There are so many good options and you just decided to put 5 Korean Teams in contention instead.
The ONLY good thing that Riot has done for us in the past 7 years is giving us seeding into APAC, and that's it. there has been NOTHING else that Riot games has done to support our region.
The Chiefs
REIGN
Renegades
PGG
PEACE
all amazing orgs.
The LEAST that riot games could do is address the hate toward OCE. not asking them to fix it, not asking them to remedy it.
Just asking for recognition. That's All
5 kr is ridiculous. so many great regions fucked bc of that shit decision. really hoping its not confirmed yet and there is still hope. imo it should have been 3kr 2jp 3sea 1oce and 1 sa. by sea i mean a variety, like bleed, xerxia and boom or something! it would have left something looking like
DRX
another kr team that idk (maybe dwg? idk)
another kr team that idk
ZETA
CR/REJECT
XERXIA
BLEED
BOOM
GE
PWR/RENEGADES/PEACE/REIGN/WHOEVER ELSE
i think this would have satisfied everyone and gave every region a solid chance!
Yeah, well from my understanding PRX financially weren’t looking too great in terms of partnership but BLEED were and the fan base for PRX is huge, in terms of viewership PRX is surely pulling insane numbers. I think they knew regardless of what happened the fans would follow but if you don’t have to make them go anywhere why bother? Idk that’s just thought of mine.
If it’s true that KR is getting 5 slots that just seems fucking dumb no? Surely there is a better way to do slot distribution rather than saying “well, looks like KR is the only financial ones”
If they gave 1 slot to OCE it would boost the fuck outta the scene and people would actually start to take the game a lot more seriously than they do, there would be more of a path and more of a reason for these pros to continue. Too many OCE pros have given up hope of our region because it’s not sustainable long term because Riot doesn’t want to take a punt.
ORDER sucked at CS until the Renegade M&A.
The best OCE team would have been either 100T or Renegades.

It sucks that we suck :/
Oh dude rDeeW and WRONSKI are just the tip of the iceberg in OCE man, we’ve got some super talented players who are dedicated as fuck to just be recognised and would easily keep up in APAC. Hopefully better news comes, if Riot really has given 5 slots to KR I think they’ve made a huge mistake, but hey, nothings confirmed yet.
Global esports had korean teams of fortnite and overwatch,Indian pc team of overwatch and have ready to set up bootcamp in korea, they have recently entered into profit and their mobile teams also did good.So thier financials are strong, plus the audience is decent from SA in regional finals with live watching 20k for yt and and across platform being 500k for the GE vs VLT, they have also continued visiting singapore despite of constant L .As Order is in a turmoil getting franchising to a complete new org in valorant is not better than franchising an already established org with valorant team from 2020 .Basically they know a lot about playing around korea ..
