North Korea recently publicly executed 12 kids for playing League of Legends. Obviously, fantasy has no use in a perfect socialist state.

Valorant, on the other hand, is much more useful for military training.

No. It's not ethnicity or any of that shit. Of course IRL they're very mannered people. The scope of the conversation is limited to the Val fandom. It's all about shooting bodies in this game. The Japanese fandom is obviously sensitive. And I'm saying that it's not a big deal.

I don't intend any microaggression. I used the translator a bit , so I apologize if it came across wrong.

The Japanese are probably the most sensitive people in the world when it comes to 'other people insulting them'. The opposite is not: Japanese players shoot corpses first sometimes, too, and fans just ghosts themselves it's not happened.

I know I said that in a negative tone, but they are maybe the angriest people, not the most duplicitous. In this culture of BM, duplicity is everywhere.

JonahP immediately received death threats for calling PRX a choker. PRX players have had beefs with TH and other teams, but every time they do, the internet is flooded with SEA Floods bashing their opponents and praising their own players. Needless to say, they are the worst fandom in history.

What about the West, which is "tolerant" of provocation? They are tolerant when their own team insults other teams, not the other way around. In Madrid, Munchkin also received death threats for shouting "What the fuck are you doing?" at SEN. Of course the SEN suckers laughed at Zellsis' taunting.

Mine is humor, Others are insult. This attitude is just everywhere. It's bit contradictory to tell someone to calm down because they're triggered; So just let them be angry.

They just learn. Look at the league. There are Korean players everywhere in the world - Europe, China, NA, even Brazil - and they learn the language no matter what. Koreans have little advantage in learning Japanese because the languages are similar, but that's irrelevant.

In Korea, It's quite a big business. there are agents who only work for export players and English teachers who only teach professional gamers.

aloha

Watching TEC games for Rb is mandatory.

I don't care what jing is doing, and I think it's good he's still on the team, but I can tell you that 1/2 of SK's duty cheating is faking mental illness. I have no idea what it's like in Singapore, but it's better than breaking your own leg anywhere in the world.

of course there is cheating, but the rich and famous rarely even try because the Manpower Administration tracks it like a maniac. If they did, they'd be socially buried and their careers would be over in a flash. The latest duty dodging are usually committed by low-quality people with no future, such as pimps, underground rappers, unknown YouTubers, and gangsters.

'oligarchy korea' is a complete fantasy. The problem in South Korea is that populist politicians use (manipulated)public opinion as a weapon to attack individuals and advance their own interests. The chaebols collude with the government, of course, but they are not the masters. They are supposed to be semi-submissive to elected power. Otherwise, the laws, institutions, and tax inspectors will harass them relentlessly. Remember that Lee Jae-yong, the head of Samsung, has been summoned to the National Assembly numerous times and has even been to jail. It's a dangerous but populist situation, not a dictatorship.

As for Singapore, there aren't that many “complete dictatorships” like China and North Korea. Most dictatorships have some semblance of an electoral system. They just use unreasonable laws, unfair elections, royal family-owned businesses, and direct government control of the media to stay in power permanently. Singapore is just one of them.

This kind of corruption is common in countries under dictatorships. During South Korea's dictatorship, and when it was less democratic, avoiding duty by the rich was routine. Nowadays they are so tight that no one can get away with it.

idk but Primmie thinks so, too.

He is on alternative duty and can commute to work.

He was assigned to alternative duty due to a poor medical checkup result. He is able to commute to work and often hangs out with the T1 players.

Their role is similar to that of coaches in other sports, or even politicians. They help players reach their full potential. A very good coach will have their team at 100% almost all the time. Perhaps the greatest coach of all time can get them to 105%. That's it. But there's no limit to the negative impact a bad coach can have.

All LCK teams have a chef (this became standard after the 2019 griffin incident where team 2 ate leftovers from team 1)

Most of them are aunties who are good cooks, not professional chefs who look like Culinary Institute graduates like T1, but the players satisfacion level are very high with them and especially HLE and DK's aunts are famous.

For valo, Gen.G and T1 share meals with their League teams. This is not the case for DRX VS, as their camp is quite far away from DRX HQ. I'm not sure what they eat.

He's an anime mania and his nickname comes from Izuku Midoriya, which if you're Japanese, you can probably pronounce more correctly than everyone here.

Confirmed, He will play the same role that izu played today.

3-2 zeta with T1 Vyse comp again and every watchers in vlr will die of brain cancer. never believe autumn mf

I don't really think much of T1, they've been an outrage in the first two games and then just played old DRX style in the other. I've been watching kush's Ult since the DFM game, so i just wanna say how high hit rate he is all day long.

At least Ult was incredible all day long...

I don't know he's as mechanically good as the Indonesian hype, but he uses Sova really really well, especially his Ult, which is much more impressive than Lakia, Zest, etc. When he shots, he kills.

I don't know Kush is a real aim-god, but I think he's one of the best use of Sova's skill in the world. I'm impressed that every time he uses Ult, gets a kill.

Autumn can win if he does nothing. plz just drink a beer in the stands.

You're right, but Brazil and LATAM may have fewer. They are the only Pacific teams that pay NA level salaries. Including A0t0mn's coach salary, of course.

Oh, I forgot to add APAC.

Most expensive team in tier 1 vs random tier 2 team. It's terrible.

I love Dambi, but his neon is like a cocaine overdose. He gives me an orgasm just looking at him, and sometimes it's so bad that he dies alone that it irritates me. Monyet is a little less unstable, so he's a pleasure to watch.

Monyet may not be the best neon in the world, but it's the most fun to look at. Jemkin's bit boring.

Wow, locking yourself into a long is one of the worst tactics ever.

Wow, He's also good with the Sova skill.

Kush's pre-fire timing is excellent. Whenever he catches his opponent off-guard, he's sure to score a kill.

Why not Monyet neon He's neon is the funniest neon to watch in the world. Sad.

There's no way to finish a 6-team tournament in 2 days.
Why two days, only they know.

Papichulo has recorded the second highest rating on Ascension, behind Persia, at least he's very fine.

I expected his name! of course.

Look at the publicly available Youtube cost per mille.

You're totally triggered, and I didn't ask for it, Of course you make me a racist. You're the one who started it. enjoy your league on SOOP.

Dude, esports are free to watch. Viewership, no matter how much it is, doesn't create value in and of itself. Riot only makes money from kiddos who watch and get excited and spend money on the game, not from game watchers. VP is their only income! how many SEA kids do you think are going to pay $50 for a skin?

Esports doesn't have a revenue model in the first place. Of course Korea, the only LAN league, even Japan with its fanatics, groans in the red in Tier 2. SOOP's example is actually closer to a healthier revenue model: traditional sports make money by selling broadcast rights.

I was trying to be sidetracked, but you guys demanded I say more, now do you gonna make me a racist? I just want you to stop making cringing sounds.

I can understand your frustration as your viewing platforms are limited for whatever fucking reason, But you guys are taking out your anger on Koreans right now. Don't bring conspiracy theories to a pure money issue.

Doran and On are assholes, but Rakan is the champ what makes assholes look like not-assholes. HLE give it to him for free, and now only Doran is an shit. That's why they lost.

Of course they're scared. Not Riot kr, but Riot as a whole. Do you think it's because Koreans are jealous? No. It's because Riot will never make a dime in Asia when that happened. There's no broadcast rights revenue in esports, so all Riot can make is from selling skins, which no one will buy when SEA gets cocky. Riot desperately wanted China to succeed. To sell skins. So surely they wouldn't want the opposite to happen. You're right its 100% money issue.

That's because SEA viewership has no any real value, and selling broadcasting rights for a fixed price is a good business.It went from a bottomless pit suddenly being a profitable business. Riot isnt weirdo, SOOP is. If someone asked you to buy a rock for $100, why don't you sell it?

All the stats and records in Japan are unreliable garbage, no matter who the player is, but trust Termi's eyes. he's made every signing huge success except foxy. It's unfair to take one failure and say he'll fail the next.

Rather, it's because T1 treats their players well. He hasn't healed from his wrist injury yet. While he is without a job, T1 provides him a streamer contract. If he find another team(even during the season), they will let him go instantly.

That's his choice, bro. T1 is not locking him up in a contract jail. They never do that. You can get out when you want to get out, as long as you're not a faker.

Very challenging, It's compared to Zeta, which is stable but seems unlikely to qualify intl. Meiy no longer has to play 'FK or lose'.

There's nothing there anyway, so we should watch the matches to judge. He might be Yuran, but he might not be. For example, You know Syouta's ranked stats are so terrible that it's questionable if he's even a professional gamer, but he's the most consistent farmer in tier 2.

btw Does Syouta prefer duelist? I've seen rumors that he doesn't like that much.

idk but I think it will naturally be a bit closer to XQQ's old zeta.

That's not a bad thing, but those types of duelists need someone to do the 'dirty job' for them. Like EG era Jawgemo.
Without such a player, the game can become rather stiff and slow. I think that's one of the reasons for slow tempo of tier 2 Japanese games.
