yea this is true... the bias for apac and china is real on riot side... only 1 lan on NA and only 1 on EU even though they are the best regions in the game? on top of that the EU event was an 8 team mickey mouse tournament... jesus christ

We Asians thought the same thing last year,
Stop complaining, we don't cry when any event happens outside Asia, we enjoy it and it's a world league not a regional to start the match according to your comfort!
I don't give a fuck about getting negative feedback but every region deserves a chance to host.

Yeah but the thing is theres no reason to complain anyways, its a sport that will be played all over the world and you wont always be lucky enough to get picked to have the event in your region

riot has strong ties to apac and china they are respected ther both as a game company and as a ~~business~~, poiny is someones gotta get fucked, dont complain abt just enjoy it and the fact that the game is growing and going everywhere

You guys got 2 events bro!
Lock-in and Champs, events being hosted can never be mickey mouse!
I stay in India and I have to wake up at midnight and watch NRG play last year.
Events outside Asia we stay awake the whole night and watch we don't cry for that reason and I really try not to fall a sleep while watching them.

that's not how time zones works. for every event there will be a region that will have "bad times". this year it's NA. Again you can still watch VODs like the rest of the world or who have jobs

in my country, we had to watch the grand finals of vct lock in, masters and champs during
vct masters Reykjavik 1 AM
vct masters berlin 12 AM
vct champions berlin 1:30 AM

vct masters Reykjavik 1 AM
vct masters Copenhagen 11 PM
vct champions 10:10 PM

vct lock in Sao Paulo 2:30 AM
vct masters Tokyo 12:30 PM
vct champions LA 3:30 AM

vct masters Madrid 12:15 AM
vct masters Shanghai 4:15 PM

unless someone living in my country is a nightowl, the time for the matches have been pretty late, especially during 2021 and 2022

Thanks for sharing. I wonder what this kid has to refute the receipts. And these timings were just for the first game of the day. If it goes OT the 2nd game is like 3-4am, sometimes I went to sleep just as the Sun came up.

This guy is literally proving my point. Apart from champs, none of the matches started at 3 fucking AM for you guys except champs. You at least had the opportunity to watch the first game for every event without obliterating your sleep schedule kid

i did a quick google search and the time difference between my country and Washington, DC, USA is that ours is 12 hours ahead of them, so flipping the PM and AM, the time for people in Washington, DC, USA who are watching the grand finals of VCT masters lockin and champs are

vct masters Reykjavik 1 PM
vct masters berlin 12 PM
vct champions berlin 1:30 PM

vct masters Reykjavik 1 PM
vct masters Copenhagen 11 AM
vct champions 10:10 AM

vct lock in Sao Paulo 2:30 PM
vct masters Tokyo 12:30 AM
vct champions LA 3:30 PM

vct masters Madrid 12:15 PM
vct masters Shanghai 4:15 AM

yeah i get Washington, DC, USA doesn't make up the entirety of NA, but the time difference shouldn't be that big between each state, i think? maybe 1-2 hours diff. idk anything about your region or timezones so my bad if I'm making a wrong assumption.

yeah thats fair i guess. my stance on this is that the perfect time for someone can be an abysmal time for another person, even if they're from the same country or region. the game schedules can't completely satisfy everyone so it is what it is

Yeah and not everyone wants to watch the 1st match. Some of the teams played the 2nd match of the day. You also have the opportunity to watch the games after you wake up. Calling others a kid is funny because you're the one swearing and whining about timezones. It's time for bed buddy, get off the internet, get a good rest and tune in tomorrow to see whether your team won.

genuinely curious, why are some starting at X:30 instead of X:00? was this a weird timezone thing, or was it a tournament schedule thing.

i dont recall since the events were long ago but iirc they're usually listed as X:00 in vlr and gets changed later on to suit the time when the first round begins (i think). i checked the schedules in liquipedia for champs 2023, some games were said to start during X:10, X:50, etc.
