I got banned. Why??

That "tier 3 region" basically acts as the only lifeline for tier 2 pacific , so if J0ke s0n really cares about his job then he should

It never was, the real reason is most likely because J0ke s0n thought he would gain good reputation by making single elims to double elims.

He did not realize doing that means RAGE ( Japanese TO ) had to run around like maniacs just to find an emergency venue , because most venues are booked 1 year earlier and a double elim is a day or 2 longer than single elims, or RAGE tried to persuade riot not to turn this to double elims because they know it's futile looking for a replacement venue(the persuade theory is from my opinion) , ultimately this didn't work and J0ke s0n has to move to Jakarta

J0ke s0n is an esports manager and should stay as one tbh , he can't manage business for shit

I once made 2 or 3 remarks about jake sin been taking these viewerships for granted, and I'm proven right today.

Yeah I think that's the case tbh 😅

Imma also add that Jake sin knew that there's a loophole happening around vcj's import rules and still did nothing(tbf they did something but it's practically nothing)

or even the fact that VCJ has the most amount of korean players which is a sign of problems in VCK and VCJ and Jake sin often looked the other way.

But I think this one isn't the case, this is just Jake sin being a dumbass, he should've known that venues are scheduled a year earlier and he still chooses single elims. By the time he overturned the decision RAGE(jp TO) can't do anything to add one more days one the venues hence them leaving. Tldr: Jake sin is stupid.

And btw about your conspiracy, I've been feeling it the all this time .

Why do I feel like today's viewership felt worse than usual? I dont even think yesterday is this little😅.

Apparently gais liked his dick to be stepped on by alecks 😳

Bro is on hiatus

I guess that means riot often needs to make the right decision and either little room for error

Tbf the teams they're facing so far is with all due respect , not good. I'd say the real test starts if they managed to get a win against mongolz or the top 6 teams but yeah they deserve a higher placing going by the pace of their matches

Nah platinum diamond pearl clearsss ( nostalgic bias)

B b b ut.... T0nz 😢.

You mean he's better than most players .... NOOOOOOOO

Lol I think riot didn't do their research when someone on the board says " let's hold ascension in japan " 🤣.

Rage really became the scapegoat because of riot's indecisiveness 💀. I expect J0ke sin is currently being rinsed over the phone so badly by RAGE'S CEO rn 🤣

Jealousy is a hell of a drug or so they say

Wait so rage couldn't get an extension ( which is impossible from the condition you've just pointed out) , for an out of a sudden decision that riot made?

Yeah I think rage really had their hands tied.

Hot take, I think riot pacific is really a bad business partner for RAGE. This information if true actually says a lot more about riot than RAGE to me. If I am RAGE's CEO I'll be putting Jake sin's head on a pike right now 🤣

Assuming that all of this is true ofc

This is sad tbh 😔 I genuinely think ayuta and honeybunny
(Cute name btw 🤣)
might be the next big thing

That's kobolds , this is the mongolz and nex1sph1x is playing in mongolz

Losing against talon and sayf's spanking 💀

Idk but they are playing right now, or unless they play under a name that has no connection to zeta ( ignore the name )

Now I'm sad lol Fav just released 2 of their players and cgz basically threw away their cards ( flax DH and more importantly hyunmin). I think the competition going to advanced stage phase 1 will be much lower than sp2's advanced stage.

I'm also afraid of the implications of the mongolz playing in vcj

I think this time bc swell will definitely qualify to main stage and yowamu will finally have his redemption 🔥

One of the ways you can play in Tier 2 ( in my case is VCJ) is winning through premiers. But does a tier 1 teams' academy roster apply?

I'm saying this because " ZETA Academy A" has been killing it in Japanese premiers going 5-0 and the scores aren't close either

https://tracker.gg/valorant/premier/standings?region=AP_JAPAN

If the conditions are right they actually have a chance to earn the chance to qualify to VCJ.

I regret having born with eyes

Ask chatgpt does he beat his meat to kiriko's gyat? 💀

So the problem has to be riot's scheduling and scale. The 1 month gap is clearly not enough. But riot can't forward the schedule much more as that would make sp1 pointless(if they aren't already).

Let's be real, an indonesian or Indian getting a visa to japan will take a long time unless someone hand over bribes 😅. So in the first place , the decision to hold ascension in Tokyo is already a bad move.( counter point : prx can get the papers done going to masters berlin while bren esports couldn't , so the orgs can also be a factor when we're talking about visa
Source : https://www.vlr.gg/35778/bren-esports-unable-to-make-masters-berlin )

And also riot pacific wants to save money 😅

Tbf you don't want to hand over your private details to riot and sen , you'd hand that over to the police😅

It sounds to me like RAGE is the primary scapegoat here 😔. And I don't think the response will be that heavyhanded from other parties , they are one of the biggest TOs in japan (or the more popular ones) for a reason😅. Companies have come back unscathed from mishaps like this.

I think RAGE has no say in how riot manages their format. I mena, RAGE can make double elims in VCJ , so why can't they do that in Ascension, that alone already tells that this is purely riot's decision and RAGE have no power to change that.

RAGE has more than enough venues and facilities to meet the demands bro, the venue handles the most if not one of the most visitors in APAC. And I'd say the same about equipment to. Server has to be a riot's fault because server is one of riot's asset , for a company that's so secretive to the point of not wanting to organize a masters with a 3rd party TO, you would expect they're also being secretive about their servers right? ( I'm talking about the 1 hour technical pause).

This is not the first time RAGE has organized an offline event and clearly the incident in Grand finals is abnormal. I mean they got 1 month to fix this issue ( I believe it's already fixed , this is riot we're talking about) and riot chose to change location? Yeah I don't think the issue here is about RAGE

Hot take, I think this decision actually hurts RAGE more than Riot, because RAGE reputation has been stained by riot's false promises

Lol you can't pin this shit onto RAGE ( Japanese TO) , the format is completely riot's decision.

💀 the few moments where translating with Google translate still felt funny af

I actually think riot is to blame here.

Rage ( the japanese TO) mentioned about unable to maintain :

1. Streaming availability(?) ,Tbh i have no clue what this means. It could mean from lack of proper equipment( not likely) , to streaming rights issue (clash between soop and YouTube? But I can't see how Rage is affected by this. Etc)

2. Restrictions on tournament format ( you can cross this out, this is riot's decision)

3. "potential risk of a deterioration of the playing environment for participating teams" ( its probably visa issues)

Regarding visa issues, you also have to think about the orgs participating, maybe it could be the orgs who are unable to competently get the visa in time ( remember bren incident in masters berlin)

In short; I think riot promised to much and rage is just the half scapegoat 🤣, however the condition is too vague (either by purpose or not ) to point fingers at anyone

Bro imma be honest, I'm gonna be more surprised if he actually isn't, he knows the scene more than you think 😅

smh she peeked when mazino's beating his meat

Bro what happened ?? I can;t watch the match but how did US catch up from -20 deficit? (basketball)

Bro's spanked too hard and his aims are jittery

I can't see how tweets like this can't take him out from the scene, there's a reputation to maintain for mazino and once you lose that it's hard to regain that.

Girl wants to bring down mazino's mental for the next match 💀💀

Jokes aside should wait till the evidence comes out or else this is just another flashback

Prior to riot selling bundle, esports is just a marketing tool. But now it's just a marketing tool with extra cash cow(bundles) 🤣

All that hyping up for nothing, can we even trust the source?

I'm not getting up just to read the #1000th post about why boaster sucks or sen is shit 😭

Thank God they didn't name both group as alpha and beta 🤣🤣

60 ( 12 x 4 leagues + 16 "parts" more for those who qualed to champs) x 300k = 18M

I might be pedantic but salaries aren't just going to people who make the skins, there's a lot more people to pay , and it's not just salaries ( don't ask me what the other costs are, I did an all-nighter on my accounting and forgot them all lol). So yeah I think the cost might not be that high as I made them to be, but it's still high enough for riot to be concerned( speculation).

" " And about the orgs, they do need that money to make this profitable." "
By that point it's no longer profitable, they're just being kept afloat by riot.

Maybe riot tried to allocate that money to somewhere else, no matter how you see it investing them into orgs like mibr, eg and bleed just doesn't make sense.

Riot could be adjusting to the audience(maybe there is a downward trend?) and probably adjust the investments riot should make

at this point, I'm just stating theory as to why riot does this lol
