There is no H2H. Since the three-way tiebreaker are resolved between NAOS, Boom, and Rival (Map Diff -> Round Diff), we continue on to a two-way tiebreaker between Boom and Rival. And the rules only state that a tiebreaker Bo3 will be the determinant for a two-way tiebreaker
There'll be a tiebreaker Bo3 for the 2nd place slot
No, there is no H2H; there'll be a tiebreaker Bo3 if needed
This.
The problem is, Leo isn't 'wrong' in the way Riot insist in having a redraw in ordet to beat the 'rigged' allegations. It's in the hardcoded rules, nothing against it.
In short terms, integrity.
But the problem is, 5 hours is a LONG time considering like Wendler said in his reply that in those 5 hours, coaches and players might've already prepped for an entirely different team.
So Leo's decision in the eyes of the teams might've just ruined HOURS of prep time when the next game is less than 24 hours away.
No stream, like last year. For Week 1 and Week 2, last four matches of those matchweeks will be either watchparties or no coverage
I've played since closed beta if you wanna hop in

Keep an eye on this lmao
SEA bureaucracy are notorious for rather being difficult, and not to mention getting permits for: a new studio space, finding a willing EO/TO with the right budget, finding 12 new accommodations for the teams. And this also includes cities like Bangkok, Jakarta, and Ho Chi Minh.
Nope, SEA bureaucracy will be the biggest hurdle.
The death of LCO and OPL was literally before VCL got removed; it was a 'damned if you do damned if you don't.' I'm not blaming him for that one; I'm blaming Riot Pacific for abandoning Oceania esports as a whole.
Give some respect and struggle to the Oceanic folks.
Tbf I don't think we can't even blame Jake Sin for that one. Oceania have been deprioritized even in League since they killed LCO and the OPL; it's just shitty management and TOs made Riot reconsidering their strategy.
It's just shitty overall
Bangkok/SEA: Practically Pacific's second home (Ascension and Masters host). The only major issue is finding a spot to host an entire VCT Pacific circus for multiple years + team accommodations. SEA ain't cheap, despite what people said.
Japan: Fan interest and participation, as well as the viewership market. Only issue is competing against an already established domestic Tier 2 market and the same issues like a hypothetical Bangkok location
Taiwan/Taipei: Already the home of the LCP, the infrastructure is already there since the days of LMS. Venues can be shared and accommodations can be arranged. Only issue is the fanbase isn't as large as in the other subregions.
Riot isn't obligated to reveal any investigation, whether or not they actually do one. It sucks, and the best way we make them transparent is to keep pressing them.
However, your last point? I can only say this; you're vitriolic, and it's in my heart to hope that you can find more good deeds than wishing someone a bad outcome.
Whether or not he is "responsible" for his own claims is up to him and Riot. The burden on proof is on Jemkin and others who agreed with his claims, but again, it's up to Riot to investigate and clear the air if necessary.
Did Jemkin air it out in an emotional manner after a devastating loss? Yes, and it might've affected how he eventually conveyed the information. But that doesn't mean he's neither wrong nor right.
NS clarified, and not antagonized Jemkin in any way or form. They simply put out another perspective. Stop making Jemkin nor anyone involved the villain regardless.
I think you're making a mountain of hate from yourself.
Whatever Jemkin said is now on Riot's plate to investigate or dismiss. It's out of our control, and it's up to the cooperation from all parties involved to resolve the issue.
YOU making it a big deal and continue antagonizing under the disguise of "look who comments" makes things worst for everyone.
I don't like the situation, everybody doesn't, and I know including yourself for an entirely different reason.
Just let them sort their shit out, man.
My brother in Valorant they're literally hosting Stage 1 finals in Vietnam.
My dentist did gave me a retainer for me to wear every time I slept for pretty much the future after I was finished with my braces. Have been wearing them consistently around the first few months, but nowadays I kept them on and off as I saw no issues with it.
But it remains smart just to follow what your dentist told you.
Xipto last year were the 3rd best team out of PH; despite facing competition at the SEA level. They released their 2 Malaysian players for an all-Filipino lineup with pretty much proven veterans and an upcoming player in 13RD.
Hopes were def high for them to at least contend for one of the Regionals spots.
The core of NINJA TEAM actually got close to beating BOOM on several occasions
It's fine, plus technically we have three Kickoff 'champs' anyway
well, it's proof that development need time; and why don't we also look at ZETA and Northeption Youth?
....it happened again
East Asian players actually have good aim + sense tbf, that includes Japanese players.
The regeneration just started if you look closer at the VCL JP Advance Stage
UNC9 WITH 100% KAST
A second 13-0 Abyss has hit the server.
It can be either the captain or the igl. Thanks for the update tho!
I wish the ZETA Academy kids are just a year older or two (especially winter) but they've showed promise even if they didn't make it to VCL.
Also if you wanna keep an eye on a certain roster: https://www.vlr.gg/team/17882/northeption-youth
Both can be true LMAO
I think even that is a disservice to DFM considering where they are now.
Well, it's a choice- for teams that qualified for international events, they have to run their reserve/academy teams, for everyone else, it's fair game allowing their first team to compete.
??? Your team's region literally conducts one of the most thorough in-season tournament besides the main VCT circuit. EVO Series literally gave teams time to readjust and bring up academy talents while ensuring there's action in between the split.
whistles in CN Evolution Series
It's happening, teams are gathering players.
fixed, mb!
*it's account sharing. Yokam didn't actually play, someone else played an account that was originally listed under his profile.
Yokam only played in WHITE RABBIT.
Isn't this the second time in 2 years where NOBLES decided to dip and FF an entire split? Pretty sure they also did it last year.
Just featured them back, didn't realize.
Seems weird.
Being updated, didn't even get a notification that it went live, wtf. Thx
Looks like the CN version of the backend system still lists players from last year's lineup for some teams. Ty for raising the issue!
System is slightly jank! We'll get to it in a bit.
Their passion, regardless what you think of the teams' current performance is still contagious even if you don't understand the language. Sure they're critical of the performance, but they also want the players and org to do well.
I support DFM since the Crazy Raccoon takeover- and I'm a lowkey CR fan since they started. Their vibes are iconic, their personalities are fun- there's a reason why they are one of the biggest entertainment organizations in Japan. And since CR looked like they actually want to improve (despite their attempted self-sabotage before), you can't help but wanting them to do so. They might bear DFM's name, but everyone who follows them now knows that in heart, they're Crazy Raccoon.
