Hi! Updated. We were using the original original schedule provided by the TOs.
Wrong roster btw
Because the two are completely separate situations.
VAL, in OCE, are perpetually hampered by inept TOs and a regional office structure that does NOT help them in developing. There are LEGITIMATELY good players in OCE, but like I said before, either they've been slide tackled by inept organizations, tournament operators, or geographical distance and server infrastructure that the Mariana Trench couldn't even gap.
It's solely happening in Riot titles, as well- since League in OCE have also been in a downturn.
Dual-nationalities, a Moroccan-Algerian lineup
I'm cleaning the flairs up so gimme a bit
(also it would help if I can get my hands on the logos LMAO)
Just melofovia. I still believe in Northernlights just because his time with Astell showed he cam be the coach DFM-CR needed, not just with the subpar support from melo
Aace is with fennel- just announced at midnight, which is understandable with his contract.
Hi! Sorry, it was an honest mistake and the twitter announcement had said "imgrq" instead of the registered "iamgrq", so a misunderstanding happened when checked the first time.
8 years.
one working (me) and one just starting to get into college.
things are interesting.
My assumption more than anything is either Korean orgs aren't willing to gamble on a transitional year (2026 being the last year of this current partnership model) and wanting to see the development coming into the 2027 model
Varrel has stable teams on several other esports titles, their parent company is CELLORB, and the CEO of cellorb is the founder of the LJL and director of the Japan Esports Union.
They've fielded teams in League via LJL and probably already familiar in Riot's ecosystem.
Was it out of left field? In a sense, yeah- in some ways, no.
They actually have came back, you might've missed it: https://x.com/MiTHeSports https://www.facebook.com/MiTHTeam
They only have a PUBG team for now, and they're slowly rebuilding with a new investor
MiTH returned didn't they? And I think there might be other Thai orgs that might be interested
K
where will my whimsy and hype casting with funny team names live?
Unintended pun there lol
(But seriously Wave OCE has a better run team than LPL so why not them I swear)
Genuinely bonkers.
Wave OCE can do better than LPL.
January 2 dates are estimates. It's not a set time.
Technically it has another name called the Beijing Smart Esports Center but the announcement refers it as JDG's HQ since JDG's homebase is also there
I blanked, fixed
Both teams are new to the big stage. Falcons losing meant there's hope for the regeneration of GC talents in Pacific. a lot of these players are relatively young, too.
Both are very new to the big stage since Pacific was dominated by the previous Xipto/Falcon core, so these two teams are the new 'regeneration' of Pacific that is tasting the competition for the first time. It happens, and Ninetails were the standout during GC Pacific, so this wasn't a surprise for GC Pacific watchers.
Yes, he's been spotted trialing for a month before this at least
In a world where a lack of safe and representative space for women and marginalized gender in esports, where even the CS2 counterpart's biggest tournament is being removed due to menial reasons, GC being the prevalent platform meant a lot for a people that has massive aspirations, but never had the chance nor the avenue.
Maybe you're too materialistic and close minded that you can't see it beyond pure gameplay and financials. Very basic of you.
It's their ideal goal, but it doesn't mean it's their only goal. From that tweet we can also see Riot committing on supporting the players in any path they're taking either way.
Yeah no I'm blaming SOOP on this one because the last time they updated it just a few days before it was 16.00
It's a layover because he did play in both qualifiers. It'll update.
Fancy is potentially playing three Bo3's back to back today. Their endurance is being tested.
It doesn't help that Fancy is playing three Bo3's back-to-back today.
Probably because the team is directly supported by Seongnam City, plus what I assume is SLT/Rio Company wishing to focus still on the talent development aspect
Kinda fell apart in the VN Regional Qualifiers last year and the Promo/Relo stuff
It's NKT fellas, mb. Motiv is playing Sharper tomorrow
I need to keep reminding folks that if a team has 6 players active, the matchpage system just picks 5 random starters from the 6. It does not reflect anything at all, it's just the system.
Just to keep that in mind.
WAIT MY BAD
(don't juggle 3 games at once fellas)
They are, but even VCL JP teams are also recruiting- some of these organizations have enough money to rival ZETA and DFM in terms of spending power and retaining their players.
