In case people wonder, Cyvoph will play with Joblife for the Split 3 of VCL France.

I just said that if they relocate, the problem that DVM created can weight in the balance. Doesn't mean it will but it can.

For the viewerhsip, while yes we have many streamers org, meaning that we have high viewership when we play which inflate the stats. If the orgs are all out, the viewership crash because most of them will watch only for their org. Yes, they will create some people who will watch Valo even when their team don't play, the ratio between people who will watch Valo without the org and those who will watch Valo only with org is high (somethinf like 1/100 to 5/100, while being optimist for 5/100).

Exemple : I'm a fan of Mandatory and the 1st EMEA Challengers viewership was completely carried by Mandatory. They finished 3rd so in the end, the viewvership of the 1st EMEA Challengers was not bad. But how will be the viewvership of the 2nd be. From France, there is only KCBS who could have high viewership and it will potentially be less than Mandatory. There is a possiblity that the 2nd is much less watched if KCBS and MKF don't go to the playoffs, but there is also the possibility that it become higher if both go to playoffs

What is important is that a problem happened, not that the problem was taken care off. If they choose to relocate, it will weight in the balance.

Also, the viewvership of KC and M8 should not be taken at face value. In the end, most of them only watch Valo for KC and M8, they don't watch the VCT EMEA, the Masters or Champion. While the official stream of the French T2 always has higher view than others official T2 stream would mean that it could have more public if the VCT happen in France, you would see a huge difference between the match of KC / M8 and the match they don't play

Perhaps he was a little stressed to be for the first time on a scene

He is 20. Also to clarify for Izana, he is currently 18 but he will be 19 this year

He is 18

Wrong for France. Every team, even the two 4th played at least 3 BO3 and 1 BO5 (Currently only the semi finalist MDR and DVM have played 3 BO3 and will play their obligatory BO5 this week-end). KCBS and Siko are currently the team that played most with 3 BO3 and 2 BO5 and KCBS will have their third BO5 Saturday and could have a 4th BO5 if they win.
Even then, the relegated teams enter the Up and Down bracket and will still have two matchs at minimum if they don't change how the Up and Down were done from the previous years.

It would be in the play-offs. If they rank both 1st of their group, they can only meet in the finale of play-off. If one of them finish 2nd in their group it could be in demi-finals.

Siko is probably the worst team in the league, Joblife is at minimum top 3 but is more often considered Top 1 with DVM.

Just in case, the match is at 16h not 18h.

The player they would have choosen from Mandatory would have been HyP (Initiator). But HyP is the IGL and Captain of Mandatory. There is a tweet that explain it.

It was the last match of Kadavra with DVM. He should tell soon what he will do.
