maybe not so unpopular esport opinions

1 I wish we had off season events where I could see faker,mira ,bugha and donk in the same room, maybe it's hard to schedule it because different games have off season at different times idk. it would be fun to see :3

2 rito needs to burn money in tier2, I dont care what excuse they give, if gc can get 500k prize pool why can't tier2 get the same. they clearly have the money so what's the problem. they want tier2 to die so badly and I don't understand why.

3 Why can't ppl be normal</3
I think zander is handsome but that doesn't mean I need to tweet bullshit, why can't those kpop girls just say johnqt is handsome instead of sexualising a Muslim man, very strange, and then they wonder why ppl don't like them in the esport space.

4 rossy tweet where he said" in esport we have ppl with different religion, political opinions, but trans is where we draw the line" I think that's bullshit, any opinion that isn't left leaning( I'm a leftist too) gets hated on and called a bigot. I don't hate flor but I dont relate to flor and never will, I dont think its transphobic for me to wanna see a biological girl killing it in gc and vct one day. flor is not inspiring to me cus she has lived most of her life as a boy but I'm not allowed to say that cus then I'm a fake leftist and not accepting.
I know vlr isn't as black and white but valorant community on twitter is like that so it feels like you're not allowed to say anything on there.

For the flor point she's not inspiring to you but defo inspiring to other trans people out there no? I would also love to see more girls killing it in vct too, starting with flor is hopefully gonna show it's possible

Flor has been openly trans since 14 or earlier idk so I wouldn't say she lived as a boy

I doubt you're a leftist

Those twitter people should be chill more

I hate mcdonald's

Well, I mean. Starting with Flor, we can now see it's possible for them (women and marginalised genders) to enter T1 teams and it's exciting! I hope more will enter T1 teams in the upcoming future VCTs.

Regarding point 1, the best chance is probably Esports World cup, if valo gets there, cuz it basically has all the big games there in roughly the same time, they basically play from same venues but at different times

1. Agree
2. Agree
3. Hard agree
4. I get what you're saying, you think it would be better or more impressive if a cis woman made it to vct over a trans woman, and I do probably agree with you, a woman would experience marginalization over more years than a trans woman would especially when it comes to playing video games. The issue I have is that it feels like you're discounting the issues that flor deals with and how impressive it is that she did make it.
   Also as a leftist, I do agree that this obviously doesn't make you not a leftist, leftism is about economic philosophy, not social. You can be transphobic and racist, but if you're a socialist you're a leftist (not saying you are btw). People on the left just love infighting, which I'm sure you understand lol

1. Just like you said, scheduling is very hard. Not only that, the cost to get these sorts of names featuring on stage that's not their main eSport or perhaps just a social event is probably on the high side and seen as superfluous in most respects. In simple terms, organisers just see this as expensive for little gain since a lot of the audiences are already overlapping in these games.

2. Agree that Riot need to preserve their tier 2. There are still legit orgs in the Tier 2 ecosystem so don't worry too much about it fully dying. I believe there is a plan for more teams to have Academy Rosters like T1 Academy, etc. But the prize pool needs to incentivise these orgs to really push their teams to the best of their capacity so we don't lose talent.

3. I am not too sure where KPOP girls/stans are in Valorant's community, but I agree that making uncomfortable comments to any member of the community whether they're pro, a streamer or a casual is wrong and should stop. The only bit of devil's advocate I will say is if JohnQT hasn't openly said he's not happy with how he is viewed, don't worry so much about it. These pro players are adults with platforms that can say for the most part what they feel.

4. I'm gonna be completely honest with you. If you have a problem with trans people being conveniently good at Valorant when there are plenty of other trans/nonbinary players who get beat by all cis-women teams, it is in some sense transphobia or bigotry. Now that isn't to say I'm here to shut you down and invalidate your feelings about women being recognised in pro Valorant. I also wanna see a cis-woman reach Tier 1 and I think there are some good aimers who could eventually reach that. But the state of GC is still not competitive enough to get there and Florescent is an anomaly player because she has extremely good mechanics and proven competitive experience now. She may not inspire you and that's fine. But she inspires other trans players. Not everything is supposed to appeal to everyone. I don't think you should be labelled as transphobic unless you're actively calling her "just a guy pretending to be a girl" which I have seen plenty of people do mindlessly.

I had never even considered a multi-sport tournament with LoL/CS/Val until you said it, but now I want it too.
