Without visibility, sponsors disappear.
Without local pride, fans disconnect.
And without support, teams die — one by one

I wish there would be a cs league in sea

Alter Ego just disbanded their Valorant roster.
One of the most iconic teams in Indonesia. And honestly, this might just be the beginning.
Tier 2 Valorant in SEA is dying.
Not because of bad players, not because of no audience — but because of Riot and Jake Sin's decisions that make zero sense.
They killed all the local leagues — VCL ID, PH, TH, MYSG — and forced everyone into VCSEA.
Now everything is centralized, less slots, harder competition, and way less exposure for local teams.
And on top of that?

They removed official broadcasts from YouTube and Twitch.
Now we’re forced to watch on SOOP — a random Korean platform that nobody here uses or cares about

What Riot is doing right now is not “streamlining” — it’s erasing local identity.
Jake Sin only seems to care about KR and JP. SEA feels like an afterthought.

Without visibility, sponsors disappear.
Without local pride, fans disconnect.
And without support, teams die — one by one.

Don’t be surprised if more Tier 2 teams disband in the coming months.
Alter Ego might be the first, but they won’t be the last.

In stage 1 they beat Gen.G in their first match in Stage 1, it gave them their confidence back. They've already been sharp since Tier 2, and now with confidence, they can definitely win the Pacific
