VK - Acend Drama

#1

DevoidDecoy

I'd like to clear this up once and for all. Riot did what they have to against the cypher cam bug abuse which was already used multiple times before, inciting similar allegations. Maybe Jhow didn't know about the bug, but punishment was necessary. I do believe a rematch would've been the better option here, but it is impossible to change riot's decision unless they forfeit the match and reschedule it. Riot should have either fixed the bug already or hand a fair punishment, but VK should have also have done research on the bug. Fans shouldn't interfere and start putting the blame on everyone who goes against their beliefs.

Valorant has topped the charts for a toxic community recently. We don't want to continue having bad reputation, especially with people who go on forums or comments intending to start drama. I hope that in the future, we begin to respect and appreciate riot employees for designing and operating the game; the pro players/creators for giving us free entertainment; most importantly, each other. It is rare nowadays to see such a community without hearing news of death threats or absolutely shameful rants every second. Instead, let this incident be a learning lesson for all parties: fans, players, and officials. Humans are designed to make mistakes; we can't make progress unless we learn from them. Take each mistake as a learning opportunity, and don't ignore or get frustrated by them.

That being said, you all should keep this close to your hearts: "It's just game why you have to be mad?"

The phrase “it’s just a game” is such a weak mindset. You are ok with what happened, losing, imperfection of a craft. When you stop getting angry after losing, you’ve lost twice.

There’s always something to learn, and always room for improvement, never settle.

No not losing. We learn from losing, even if it does tend to cause some fustration. But it isn't ok to dwell in the past over an issue we can't control. No one is "OK" after losing. Don't take it to heart, ESPECIALLY if we aren't playing. I'm not telling you to settle, I 'm telling you to look at different perspectives if you feel wronged. Everyone has opinions, and it's ok.

You missed the second part of my last quote. "why you have to be mad?" Like I said before, fans are getting so mad over an issue they have no control over. I heard some were sending death threats to Acend players, a sign of complete immaturity. I also see so many angry fans putting the blame on every single party for obscure reasons. For the pro players, it is fine to a little frustrated. For us, it is a waste of time to go argue in forums. Don't go thinking you're so right about everything and start drama with anyone who goes against you.

Whatever man, do you think keyd stars didn't know that it was an exploit when 2 teams had already received map loss due to that ?
Kinda dumb to use that

Again, benefit of the doubt. There is always a chance that they didn't know since the exploits were used in lesser-known matches. I still believe they deserve punishment, but not because they should've known about the bug.

What I think is funniest is that Acend charges VK for punishment after the cNed scandal...

to them, not us. Don't go arguing in every forum about how we feel because it's a waste of time and really won't go anywhere.

“exploit bug from Riot has not clarified that this camera was buggy, what I see is that they should have paused the game and we alerted simple!”

No it's not. It would be unfair for X10 and VGIA if they were given the option to rematch.

Hard to compromise isn't it? A whole VCT match, possibly responsible for the loss of millions of prize money. Riot did the best they could've, and I provided a more fair ruling. Just handing VK the win is what a lot of die-hard fans want, but punishment was necessary for an exploit. Look at both sides first. Fair for BOTH sides, not just one.

no it's not fair
but if the map is played again and if vk starts 0-6 then it might be fair

X10 lost their chance to qualify for Berlin because of that. Now you tell me, how's that makes them feel? An exploit is still an exploit whether it was intentional or not. It literally stated in the rule book that..

+If you find something where you are not sure if it's a bug or clever use of a mechanic, please check with the administration if it is an exploit/bug before using it in the match. Subsequent punishments may also be possible.
+Cameras: Cameras may only be placed in places where they can be seen and destroyed by the opponents.

Imo they're lucky they didn't get disqualified, Riot's decision to give the round, where the exploit was used, to Acend is the proper punishment.
