tbf it is rare riot actually makes a W

remember fpx vs xset replay drama?

should we talk abt the dumpster fire that GC is? Drama, unclear about whos allowed to participate, loopholes

or should we talk abt old beef like them banning sinatraa despite riot themselves having bad sexual assault internal shit going on (i believe?)

Except riot has taken many Ws in terms of the game itself. They have listened to the community, made frequent patches and have kept the hame, guns and agents fairly balanced. I would say riot has taken more Ws than we would think.

Yea Riot has had issues with Sexual Misconduct which is pretty fucked up but does that mean Sinatraa is in the clear or something??XD
They would just try harder to fix their image by completing shunning anyone even remotely related to misogyny or sexual conduct (Carlos,Sinatraa)

Wonder what's gonna happen now with all the Russian talent scattered in the different leagues. Maybe we'll see an org like spirit make a super team.

I still don't think this league will include Russia. Im guessing this will be all the other countries in CIS

Idk if the article got edited, but it literally says Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia.
Also Team Spirit never has been punished like Virtus.Pro and Gambit have, idk why but there's probs a good reason for it. Anyways it would make sense for Spirit to join now with the 2023 season

It's because spirit isn't tied directly to the Russian government like gambit and vp were. That's the reason I mentioned them and not another cis org like vp

This is so good, scene needs to grow asap, Rusia is already a top 3 country in the world and the game is nothing like what CS is there

Just give it time, games are not eternal, we do not know what can will happen.

Still, as long as it is a quarter of what CS is it’s more than enough

dont get me wrong, im happy for cis players
but if the reason it was cancelled in the first place was the conflict, do we take it as there is no conflict anymore?

I guess the conflict is between Russia- Belarus and Ukraine, rito solved it by putting Ukraine on eastern Europe, other countries are still in CIS region. No conflicts anymore. Sports and esports must be without politics!

whether we like it or not, politics affect everything. there is still conflict? m3c had to rename for appearance purposes so they dont look like theyre representing a russian org, so this time rito is now good with russian orgs or would they ask them to rename again? or do they not allow russian orgs but ok with players? tbf they have always been ok with russian players

I don't think riot will allow Gambit, VP and other close to government organizations represent cis regional league because they might win ascention and get EMEA slot. Then rivalry between Navi vs Gambit will be more political than just simple competition and no one wants it in Riot.

I do assume Riot might demand from Russian orgs independandcy and hq relocation to Armenia, Kazakhstan etc. But I also can't imagine how Russian players will play Valorant when poots doing militarization, because of that all cybersport people (even tier 3) left Russia for Sebian citizenship.

VP does not have close government ties that I can find. The current CEO of the org is Armenian and they are based in lithuania, the main holding company, ESforce is where the problem is. I couldn't find any solid sanctions or governmental ties affecting ESforce so I wonder why ESL banned VP.

falltw, b1sk, vo0kashu and many others are good enough for tier 1 and if they get a good coaching staff they will go from talent to solid tier 1s in a few months

Finally. The region where new M3C, FPX and Navi(old) type of team will form. Its just really sad, we didnt see enough teams like that when it got cancelled. There were some solid teams like KPI with B1SK in particular a standout player.

Poutine is a very good food, do not insult it like that
It was stopped (definitely due to the war) but more because of general uncertainties regarding mobilization on both sides, payment sanctions, internet cutoff. Now that things have ~generally~ stabilised, I think rito is comfortable going ahead with a CIS league minus Ukraine who will instead be moved over to the EMEA league.
