To be fair, TH is the only SEA country that manage to send 2 team in an international event

Who dosen't want to be treated like that ?

Hmmm, in that case 48 teams might be doable, what format would you do exactly ? (With 64 teams it's pretty easy, with 24 it's also easy, but 48 may be a little bit too hard)

The problem is that kickoff and lockin is the same goal : Opening event

4 international event, would be too mush, redundant ans too expansive, both format got the same goal : qualify team with the lowest amount of games possible to have the first final as mush as possible as the start of the season. Doing a lock in with a looser bracket may be too long and too expansive, thats why kickoff is an excellent compromise, it pays less team a ticket for an international event

To give you an idea you can make a swiss round with 64 teams and eliminating every team that have 2 looses, after 7 rounds, you would have 7 teams still qualified (One with no loose in semi-final, and 6 with 1 loose in quarter)
Another exemple of swiss round with 48 team, after 4 round and still qualify only team with 1 and 0 loose you would still have 15 teams

How to replace kickoff by locking would improve the number of minimal game ? In both KO and LI it's 2 games min (Assuming you make a swiss or a looser bracket in LI)

posted 4 months ago

Thats why go to 16 teams was necessary, 4 games more for everyone, not a full split more, more game for bad teams, no weird format in kickoff, more ascended team to give more carrots, keep shortplayoff (4 team in winner, 4 team in looser), you can even add an LCQ that is play during the stage 2 playoffs (that count as a triple looser bracket) and we are good

I was analysing the internet network in EMEA, and I fond something weird
Based on this site : https://wondernetwork.com/pings/Beirut : your best ping is in... LONDON ?! Is that true ? What are your ping on different EMEA servers ?

I can understand Marseille is one of the best city for North Africa and Israel Server, but how London could be the best ? T.T

That doesnt sound healthy if this system make them a "de facto" academic team with another flag. I rather have real academy system that these weird system x)

So basically they give money to UCAM to compensate the fact they can, without losing any money, steal their player ? I rather have an aca system than a partener system that make them de-facto an-academy team with another flag.

Fact is Partnered team is a recent feature, and it's hard to estimate if it's worth or not for both T1 and T2

posted 4 months ago

If you have a team in T1 you cant have an academic roster in T2 if you dont have 3 girl in it.
The only other solution is to play with the border of the law by creating a structure with a different name, make them affiliate, and put your 5 academic player in it and say "No it's not our team !", but in the eyes of Riot that will not be an aca team (It's just a weird way to do it "allegally", not illegally because it's legal, but "allegally" because Riot forbid academic roster in T2, and you created a pseudo-aca roster)

posted 4 months ago

Doesn't that make Furious totally dependent of Lev and making their roster season in the middle of a split even if the team got some good result ?

posted 4 months ago

Partnered team isn't a T2 academics teams, it's another structures that have their own goal that differ with the T1 team they have partnered team, T1 team can't be fully in control that the decision of the team, if player in UCAM can be hire by GX with GX not having to pay anything to UCAM (Making the player not a 2 way player but a fully GX player) thats not a win-win in the longterm, and Ucam will probably retire. If UCAM still got some control to be sure their player can stay if they want, you kinda loose the benefit of an academics team

posted 4 months ago

May be possible, but if you are a T2 org you might avoid having player that you can loose at any time.
Also I wonder if you can buy 5 player, create a new org make them play inside and if Riot will say it's ok, that would be really weird

posted 4 months ago

No, no, T1 team cant have a team in T2 right now :/, (Well in 2025 they can only if they have 3 girl in it https://x.com/ValorantEsports/status/1803119797598822501 )

Sure, but how can you keep your talent if they aren't allowed to play in T2 ?

No, no this year ! 2024 ! I was saying that with how it's framed, it's nearly impossible to have a good academics roster :

Some team already have, Riddle is made of 3 players from ZETA aca.
Also it is useful, for example KC in LoL have scouted good talent thanks to their academy team in LoL, when you want to think about long term, having an aca team is important, scouting is important but scouting become pointless if you don't have an academy team

Don't worry, we have also our big problem and I hate twice mush Germany than I have the USA (Germany is just the Vampire of EU), heart on both USian people and german people still

Not really the same, affiliate team create a weird situation where you kinda subcontract the detection of talent of a structure that don't have the same goal as you. The T2 team probably don't want to lose their good player if they are really good in T2, and it might really expansive to buy them (And if they dont need to buy to force the T2 team to give them the player, then the affiliate programm may be bad for T2 team that sign it)

It's not a race reason, it's something more cultural ! Every American people in a good environment are able ! It's just that statistically they have more chance to end into a bad environment

I tend to agree with that, I think if Riot didn't allow it, it was because they where afraid that it would make things unfair for other T2 teams

Isn't that a way to show that it's impossible in S4 to have a academic roster ?

Shall we allow T1 team to have an academy team in T2 ?
If yes, should they be allowed to compete in Ascension and get ascended ?
If yes, shall we let the team choose if they can compete in ascension and lose their player in case they got ascended or refuse to go to ascension and let their place for the next team. Or shall the player choose if they want to go to asc ?

With what happen to Riddle that are basically ex Zeta-Academy, I start to think about it.
And my conclusion is that I feel that not allowing T1 team to have a team in T2 is a bad thing, when you are a T1 team, you have to detect talents, and you have to keep them to promote them when you need them, but imagine you are a T2 talent with T1 potential, why would you stay in an academics team that cant compete in T2, if you aim T1 you have to play in T2, and if you are a young talent you will find a T2 team and leave the academy team. So that mean if you are a T1 team, you can't keep talents if you don't put them in a team that will have objective and you can't give them objectives if they cant go to T2 because thats the main objective of a non-T1 team, the next step before going to T1.

We have also to take in account the new rule that allow a T1 team to have a "mixed gender team" in T2, with this new rule KCGC can go to French T2 if they are good enough, and they can even have 2 male in that team (note that another new rule is that a team that qual to GCC go to T2 promo-relo), this rule is kinda weird, because it creates a weird optimal situation :
Imagine you want to detect new player, and you want to find a way to keep them : Main solution is to create a mixed roster with 2 young talent and 3 girls, but if you hire 3 girl just to play premier and hope to qual, it make sense to hire 2 girl more to play GC. So you end with 12 player (5 main roster, 3 girl in GC-T3, and 2girl and 2 males that will rotate with the 3 mains gilrs)
And this raise so mush more questions :

  • Can you create a competitive T3 strong enough with 3 girls ? (They are girl that can qual to T2 in BR and G2G, but it's so hard to find if you want to create a new team)
  • Can you create a 7 human roster with 2 men and 5 girl that isn't to mush disorganize ?
  • Is that solution enough to keep talents ?
  • If the GC roster qualifies to champions, does that qualify the T3 roster because they are 3 girl in common with the roster that go to GCC ?

What are you thought guys ?

tldr, If you are a T1 competitive team wanting a T2 academy team you need :

  • 5 male player that play in T1
  • 2 girl (Or NB) player that play in GC only
  • 3 girl player that will play in both GC and in T3 to qual to T2
  • 2 boy player that will play in T3 to qual with T2 with 3 girls.
    And that's a weird situation, because you have to disorganize your T3GC roster in order to qual to T2.

Whow, the 3 Japanese player are from Zeta Academy ! (And the fact the 2 other player are from DFM is funny)
Does that mean ZETA has made a mistake if they didn't promote them ? What will happen if Riddle win ? Zeta will take their player back ? Or it's dead ?

I hate the fact T1 team cant have an academy team in T2 (That obviously cant qualify for ascention)

Data after 2 week

Repartition of the 26 first team in T3 SEA :

  • Indonesia 8 teams (12-9 57%)
  • Thailand 7 teams (8-17 36%)
  • Mongolia 4 teams (8-6 57%)
  • Philippines 4 teams (6-5 55%)
  • Cambodia 1 team (2-0 100%)
  • Malaysia 1 team (0-1 0%)
  • Singapore 1 team (0-1 0%)
  • Viet Nam 0 team (0-0 %)
  • Taiwan 0 team (0-0 %)
  • Hong Kong (0-0 %)

To me the perfect split of T2/T3 would be :

  • HK server (VN-TW-HK-PH-MN) : 8 teams
  • Indo-Malay language (ID-MY-SG) : 10 teams
  • Mainland SEA in SG serv (TH-CB-LA-MM) : 8 teams
    (MYSG is debatable, to me the 2 language are close enough to stay group together, but since MSEA don't have VN for ping reason, the place might lack of population.)

Mongolia : If SEA have to be reunited in only 1 big T2 regions, the main server will obviously be Singapore (Since the 2 biggest subregion is ID and TH that are both optimal in SG). In Mongolia, Tokyo ping is slightly better than Singapore, and with the expansion of JP T2 teams and the contraction of SEA T2 teams it would make sense if Mongolia is group with Japan.

TW and HK : The fact TWHK player can play in CN without being count as an import while T2 SEA is now too competitive with the merge, TWHK T3 in SEA may potentially disappear in a near future, TWKH talent will probably pick CN.

Viet Nam : VN situation is concerning, they are really late compared to other subregion, if they are no rule preventing that a subregion to disappear completely to T2 that might happen really soon.

Idonesia : Best T2 region, they have less money but a bigger talent pool, since their population is almost half of Asean they may truly become the SEA powerfull in the future.

Thailand : That the country where the population decrease fast, but they are really good right now, historically TH is the best TH region (it's the only region that once send 2 team in an international event)

SG and MY : Small population, small number of team, lot of money, see how thing will go.

Philippines : Mid region, the population is the one that increase the fastest, maybe a bright future.

Cambodia : What if it was the first time a CB team go to T2 ? Sounds possible right now !
