They will pick someone from premier. Or a VCJ tradition get a duelist and force him to play smoke the whole split then kick him out lol.

Watch as Take carries his next team lmao

Shit is driving me insane, BB actually lost premier playoff. RRX trolled, and Stellar lost by a hair.

Why did BB pick up 0sc0 anyways?

It was never that great but it definitely felt a lot worse now will increase the number of doomers here, T1 winning will make it even worse imo

The worst is yet to come... the doomers/ dickriders

RIP man...

True I think what makes Waylay and neon different are the movement. Ain't gonna lie I'm kinda annoyed at Slide+ shoot shit.

It's just not gonna happen man, at least not in the same level of League and there is valid reason for that.

No.. you haven't seen the worst.. Asian doomer/dickriders

They clearly are, but they choked on that 12 9, imo G2 would've been in a better position if Josh saved his Timeout for defense half

Still have massive faith in him tho, we could be in a conversation where I admit I was wrong about Josh being questionable.

He used his second Timeout on 4-7 he could've just saved his Timeout for next half.

What was he thinking ? Tbf to him from the match he clearly believed that they will win in the second half and he was almost right. But this is very questionable from Josh imo.

Like istg man , I think Valorant or games by riot is where things like this usually happen. You're not the last of your kind, just bear your national flag pls lol

This is why you don't bear flag of your ethnicity to "represent your heritage" , more often than not it leads to things like this

Occasionally you get a constructive criticism on how G2 plays, but more often than not it's always something outside the game that's how you know the community hates G2 for no reason

ain't gonna lie I'm slowly becoming a G2 supporter now lol

G2's insults always center around the players' looks, weights , fans etc.... Isn't this just too personal from vlr?

Cmiiw but they only dominate Tekken and its not even full domination.

"Asian century" bullshit+ League. Imo both are the root cause of this type of doomerism

I would rather people just stop complaining about crowds lol. If Tokyo is happening rn people would just complain " crowd is boring , no bias at all".

People just love to complain about everything

I
Apparently it slows down everything cmiiw

Do you actually think all Thai people looked like Lisa or have east Asian features?

Nah that's SEA

It will hurt tho, FAV and IGZIST are prime examples. SG is an exception.

There is no incentive except riot giving financial incentives at all, fans don't really care about developing talent, so there's no push for that.

Developing talents is a losing game. Why waste resources when you can just imports who are ready for tier 2 ( even this can be argued to not be the case). In fact, the way the scene works punishes you for doing that by simply making you lose towards those who signed proven talents or imports.

Incentives could work, but that assumes that all orgs have the goodwill and aligned in their self interest, clearly that's not what happen here. what VCJ really need is hard law ( as in changing the rules), which is why I'm keep pushing for reducing the import slot to 1 or just abolish that rule.

That's not a loophole, that's just what import rule is , I would love to call them a loophole tho 😂 but it's not.

Marin retired and Flora is a good shot but you have Ken on the team and I prefer not getting another korean again.

But yeah I just watched WEC history I think if they slip up and RRX keep winning from now on, they can win premier

Yeah I saw it, on the other hand Luckynana didn't play against RRX, which is a shame because I want to see how he plays against stronger opponents.

Either way, WEC and especially BB are very likely to win premier

Take leaves REJECT

GC:
R4M leaves Reignite

Yeah hope they can finally put their scouting to good use

Fr, on side tangent people have been complaining about Twitter being political or whatever, but all I'm getting is just vtuber stuff lol

It will hurt, but it's better in the long run

I still remember how orgs were replacing Chinese players with imports 1 or 2 weeks before ascension started

That or just reduce the import slot.

There's no loophole at all, except Sc0rz most orgs in vcj are not breaking any rules at all, however, compliance doesn't necessarily mean that orgs are acting on the long run interest of the community.

CGZ released Kapi and Brofeld

Delight signed :

RyinG ( analyst )
oft0nn ( coach )

I only gave my "technical" perspective on why it happened but ultimately I was detached from the conversation lol

Part of the reason why I'm told there are many imports on the scene is orgs need to stay "competitive" in order to win ascension. This is not good.

This is a problem with VCJ because all of the current teams in main stage have a decent enough resource to develop domestic talents, but most chose to not do it.

If there are 4 poor orgs and 4 rich orgs, the poor orgs will have their hands tied and having no choice but to scout domestic players while I can shit on rich orgs for being stupid in the long run 😂.

Essentially, being rich and all made most orgs in VCJ complacent and lazy

This is important because I've suggested how riot could lose japan in the long run

https://www.vlr.gg/450471/koreans-on-japanese-orgs-are-bad-business#top

( replace the word Korean with imports )

Depends on the size and well being, each region will receive different impact imo. From what I can see, VCJ has been and will be made a loser from this franchise system in the long run

More like Faker and LPL

Even if that's true, #4

I agree that Riot is a control freak, user generated content could save Riot money

It couldn't compare to the money made from Steam.

I mean it's true that Fl1pz started ragebaiting first. His insult seemed personally aimed towards tenten (iirc). Doesn't make Tenten right tho.

Something that I never saw in discussions regarding Riot vs Valve in terms of how they handle esports is
their income source.

Valve's income source comes from Steam, not CS or Dota, there wasn't any pressure for Valve to implement franchise system compared to Riot.

Riot earns money through Skins and other in game purchases, simply put League and Valorant ( to a lesser extent ) are what keeping them as big as they are. Knowing this it's easy to see why Riot implemented franchise system.

That said, I hate franchise system. I will explain why in my next thread

Solluzy and yvy left ZETA AC

Riot isn't even the problem imo, you're doing business in Asian countries where these kinds of behavior are common, that's just the "risk" of doing business here.

Idk about intentional tho, Riot are doing their activity in East Asian countries and countries like Thailand. Those countries even without Riot intentional marketing will attracts fangirls sooner or later, that's just how they are.

At the end of the day, it's the orgs themselves that choose how to market themselves. Riot only cares about the skins.

Idk abt cringe, but it would be either naive or you're just new to esports to think that other games don't attract toxic people. It's a competitive game.

you could've just said Valo attracts more female fans than male fans, but you had to say man are associated with smoking gambling and shittalking..

It's as simple as somewhere along the line, riot's marketing strategy intentional or not started to attract those kinds of people instead of the intended ones.
