do you know how every sport ever works

the crowd cheers for the home team

esports will never be as big as regular sports bc of soft twinks who cry when people have bias (normal human emotion)

I get it, but maintaining the point of the whole thing is that the players perform for the fans, not the other way around

People should be upset with politicians not the fans/players who have 0 involvement with the military or the government

The Chinese fans are the one who choose to brings politics into sports. They're the politicians themselves and deserved all the hate.

then stfu the crowd literally doesnt affect anyone lol

imagine crying because your favorite boys making 6 figures playing video games have to deal with some toxic fans for a few days a year omg the HORROR

fans pay to go, if you disagree, you pay to go and cheer yourself

Sports have always been deeply related to politics, religion, patriotism etc

Dont see why E-sports wouldn't, since they mimic sports

They have but the majority of val fanbase is younger so some lack a lot of historical context to why sports are the way they are

The thing is politics is inherently tied to nationalism. Whilst I wouldn't go as far as saying crowds are 'Nationalistic' it is similar to the 'home team' concept. The issue with VCT in this context is that riot themselves try and police what is right and wrong.

I'm not defending salty Chinese netizens who disrespect players n all
but politics is just such an impactful thing, GenG as a gaming org shouldn't really touch on these sensitive topics if they want to maintain a reputation and give their players the best experience
