Everyone knows it is rigged? Why no one talks about it .
I mean for most of the kick-off playoffs I could understand why they didn't because there was only two possible draws for each region (eg. Sen have to verse rather NRG or EG, because they cant play Loud from the same group). But them not doing it for Masters is pretty sus
They actually record the draws and teams can request to see the footage but for whatever reason they only make a point of showing it publicly for Champions (to make champs seem like a bigger deal)
Nah they do them but don't show em to the public
Sliggy when he was the coach of TL asked to see the draw and they showed him the draw
Sliggy said that he also thought that these draws were pre planned back when he was the coach for liquid and asked riot to show him the the draws, he said that they do draw it but idk why not on stream
They need a hot korean girl to do the draw but they couldnt find one in time, unfortunately (i work at riot)
they might do it for madrid. i dont really c a problem with doing it live. raises more question when u dont
it's not rigged, sliggy talked about it recently and also rob moore (sentinels ceo) also talked about it. Their draws are not broadcasted but you can request to go see it live in person.
didn't they do the draw for champs 2021? i might be trippin, it is 5am now
It's so obvious that they rigged the bracket. They have both loud vs gen.g and Sen vs Heratics matches later to generate maximum views.
Riot's draw had been increasingly opaque since the pandemic, more and more using their staffs instead of celebrities to make draw especially in knockout draws. But I still think the draw in Valorant is fair, as the previous draw had made teams from same regions met each other...
