Well it's just one of the main factor tho, I was about to use sengoku misaya, gatorada and nobita's performance as an example but when they became a full japanese team their performance stayed relatively the same ( misaya and gatorada still not that great and nobita still having to carry). So it's not an absolute factor 😅

It's not surprising tbh , he has a decent following on twitch , he definitely wanted to build his brand around CR

UPDATE: ZETA FINALLY MAKES A MOVE
Tennn goes back to streaming(zeta) after playing for fennel .
Crow moves from playing coach to streamer
Junior moves from assistant coach to coach for zeta academy
Shoushi no longer coaches murash
Varrel players' contract has expired along with coaches as well

Meiy prolongs his contract till 2027

I think meiy wanted to secure his job as a streamer 🤣.

Zeta as an org is leaning more towards esports side, while CR leans towards content.

Lol that's crazy.

Meiy is enjoying life with CR for sure.

The thing with japanese players in general is their English isn't good enough for comms ( sure exceptions like tenzou exist, but I can guarantee you that anyone else will see a huge drop in performance), so him ended up in dfm again is inevitable hence not surprising to me.

Wait I'm uninformed about this , who are "they"?

That doesn't change anything that I said tho.

High stakes or not, if you want your region to survive then you better watch that shit or else riot bout to merge the region into oblivion.

If we are comparing Yamal's earning with how much pros earn in tier 1 people would have called out riot for commiting child labor kekw

I'll get flame for this lol

Say what you want about his other opinions , but he has a point about this community. You wanted to incentivize tier 2 but don't want to watch tier2 , this is like feminist asking for equal paycheck between wnba and nba players but never watches any of the wnba games.

JAPAN
DUE - Meiy
SEN - Hiroronn
CON - SugarZ3ro
INI - Laz
FLE - CLZ ((IGL)

I think this works better

Can't ignore the side effects of having a baby bro.

That bum genghsta must be punching the air rn

November? That's when vcj sp3 begins , what is red bull thinking 😡

What kind of rework?

I'm starting to think that the rules are loose on purpose with Russian players in mind 😅

They have but it's very loose rule tho, suppose that you are an import , if you play in for example Spain for 2 splits at the third split you are considered local.

Wait I thought most medals currently goes to USA?

Bro I'm just looking at Zeta Hatto's( academy player) tweet and I saw this lol

https://x.com/o_ohatto_o/status/1817801042026975616?t=Pl5yi_kRiLxm6L_4cqPv9Q&s=19

What is yessirski doing 🤣

I'll die on my hill as a vcj glazer, forever or never 🔥🔥🗣🗣🇯🇵🇯🇵💪💪🤣🤣

Has to be the latter , to get someone like primmie or meiy you need a miracle, you can't rely on miracle to win you games all the time .

Add zeras too

Add padangrice , bro was hungry when deciding ign

Bro is thirsty for discord mod. c4lypso clears

leaf is no 2 tho

Charlemagne bout to have some serious discussion with the pope frfr

I'm mad too bro, instead of white particles it should have been white jizz spurting out of the smoke .I'm ok with 😺juice to

No Carthage and Carolingian is crazyyy

Now that I think about it maybe his last map against Murash really does something to my head 💀💀💀.

Ain't gonna lie I have a huge bias against scarz tho

It's ok bro just like your bias with Tixx I'm completely biased with my choices here😂. Heck, Bom alpha didn't even qualify to sp2 he's currently trialing(?) with FAV gaming. The same goes with Yowamu ( Killing it on BC Swell)

I think Tixx is better suited outside when there's no restrain on the roster tho.

I need to watch Absol's new clip lmao

Bro I had my account on alr but it doesn't show me anythingggggg

Update: This has to be the roster moves of all time Ate went from Murash to Rental FA to Fennel and then back to FA with Murash. (or I'm just misunderstanding things)

Just witnessed some drama type shih
posted in Off Topic
Lmao bro just witnessed some drama shih! So basically I was in bus stop and there was this girl in yukata (probably in high school) in bus stop. Her mom chased him and shouted at her from across the street. “MF IF YOU RIDE THAT BUS DON’T COME HOME AGAIN!! 🤬🤬” and she didn’t ride the bus. Luckily there was a red light and I could witness some more juicy family drama, so she chased her daughter and took her key from her and the daughter threw something at her. Unlucky that the light turned green and I couldn’t witness the rest 😞 now idk the ending, did they had fist fight or slapping contest or some wrestling type shih? I’ll never know. Everyone in the bus was watching that shih unfold. Just some funny experience xd

I enjoy vcj gc too ( onni is the future btw) , but only a small minority watches gc (except for jp) , max gc viewership is champions gc and it's not even 1/5 of champions😔

How did you guys do it lol , is archery that widespread in Korea?

If parents know the reality of esports then they ain't letting their child touch that shit 🤣

Sometimes the better solution is stick your money to where your money's at . I hate it as much as you guys, but riot is a business after all.

It is becoming global, but at the cost of sustainability. You can merge SEA region for their proximity, but how do you hedge losses from south asia or oce? The reason regions are merging in apac and emea is probably because riot can't sustain this type of environment at all.

Also riot probably never does marketing or sucks at attracting investors.

If they stuck to major regions like then yes, but riot tried to market this game to the world along with its val esports , this is unsustainable, so riot will have to make unpopular decisions like merging sea or handing streaming rights to SOOP

I think they are too idealistic

That soop money better feed vcl for 5 years bro if they're willing to let viewership tank this much.

I'm not so sure about that , the views prior to SOOP, to me isn't that impressive considering the region.

Anyone has the stats on VCL Thai in Youtube and Twitch vs SOOP? Understanding this might justify (ALTHOUGH just a little) the decision to stream in SOOP

sry I misread your post, Riot probably struck a deal with SOOP with contract😅

A huge factor of Jake sin's actions has to stem from low viewership. SEA enjoyers why do you guys barely watch T2?

Ok this is so stupid tbh , as if exclusive stream at soop isn't short sighted enough. Even if they do get SOOP's money , they just make it inaccessible for many viewers out there, and to make it worse they choose to waste this money on purely offline event??? What is riot thinking.

The money that SOOP pays better feed vcl SEA for 5 years or else the scene is fucked

I queued in placement and got myself silver 1

Oh i see , I know the region is good but I need to know where will they end up ( hopefully not vcj , we have too many imports )

What are they winning( what do they get by winning the bracket?)

Ikr, it's pretty sad to see but at least their local players get to taste tier 1 which is a plus depending on how you see them , however bringing imports is a different issue tbh

Since we're talking abt the mongolz anyone have any idea who won japan premier episode 8 act 3 ? Val tracker doesn't have the record

Playing in Hktw could potentially ruin the scene imo

Which server did they play?
