What exactly he did ? Why whole team is being fined ?
noxxy threw few rounds since they had to play in Mumbai server and were getting 60-70 ping (even tho SA always plays in this ping)
even tho mumbai wasnt the default server and it was a cointoss (will be veto in playoffs)
idk what did he expect since its a SA TO tourney
on the good part tho RNT won both its matches against sea
This is false news though. They never went to Thailand. Yes they were made plans but you know, the hype around them was just too much. Basically every small tweet they made became news.
They then later realised that Thailand gives you 40ms ping while in Chennai you get 35-40ms so playing from chennai was much better since you did not have to wait for visa + local country.
Most Indian orgs have infra in Mumbai from before Valorant because of the mobile scene. The scrim situation is not that big of a deal for most orgs since most Indian teams scrim each other and only a few top teams get to scrim top SEA teams. Getting 35-40 from 45-50 ping in exchange of spending thousands of dollar to move to a somewhat expensive city by Indian standards is not a good exchange for Indian orgs.
