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.
It's just a placeholder date so we can set the event early.
Er, no.
The Jan 2 date is just an approximation, not a hardset date. We just put it there just in case.
Academy are supposed to nurture talents. And when you argue bias, who do you intend that dig towards?
When you force Academies to be the only teams that are allowed to pick 18 y/o talents when the other VCL teams can't, isn't that just going to create a rift?
Edit: I see where you're coming from with the age restriction, again complying with local labor laws—but having only Academy teams be the sole perpetrators taht could recruit them?
The affiliate system is being revised in 2026, so Riot defo got their pants pulled and said not again for next season
Where do you see this? Riot so far only specifies the exemption for anyone above 16 (as per VCL roster rules), and even then it's only for the Path to Champions. And the age requirement at min. 18 y/o is only for VCT Partnered Teams, as they are by far technically working all year round and as a result are required to comply with local labor laws.
give me telecom wars or give me death
Mau ga mau, kita buka era baru aja sih, mungkin udh telat, tapi bukan berarti ga bisa resurgence. Ini ada banyak tim yang regenerasi dan kompetitif, apalagi buat nanti Regional Indonesia tahun depan.
Siapa tahu kan dengan ini, momentumnya naik lagi?
