Talk about paranoia, jeez. Y'all are overreacting.
Literally Talon had announced that they will rep TH. Chill.
Literal translation is bottled tea. Tehbotol is also a brand of, funnily enough, boxed/bottled tea!
Kayak CSGO spray tapi sakitnya lebih mendalam wkwkwkwkwkwk
Mixed gpp tapi harus ada support staff yang bener. Full Indo ideal.
PRX kan... fluent dalam Inggris. Mereka g reliant sm Alecks untuk nge comms.
Ya kali Indo/PH g bisa bahasa inggris. Kadang butuh waktu tapi ya g mungkin terlalu susah.
Honestly I won't comment on that since I heard it live as well but I just let out a small chuckle and a disappointed sigh. If AP got all three after they go UFA is where I'll laugh lol
You know what? I'm contempt with the decision. Is this ideal for the Indonesian fanbase/ecosystem? No. But consider that RRQ PH just won a decent local LAN and looking like one of the best teams in PH, I think the decision to honor their players is commendable.
I think the language barrier for a 3-2 ID/PH roster won't be too much, hopefully. If the technical staff makes the effort to maximize the performance from all the players, then I'm all for it.
Lynch me.
Yes, we added that immediately. Please check the list.
Riot has more than a few years' worth of running franchised leagues. Spanning from North America to the Pacific regions, they've managed to coordinate with their regional offices to maintain the competitiveness and the interest of each league. Were their decisions always perfect? No. I have a few gripes, but as far as I'm concerned, it wasn't as catastrophic.
But with OWL? The entire idea of a city-based league were doomed to begin with. It's not that it wasn't viable — it was too damn risky to run its original plan of a offline home/away game on every city base. They've managed, sure, but goddamn their business decision were the catalyst in the state they are in right now. They also flubbed their handling over their Tier 2 and lower competitions at the start.

It explains the criteria Riot had laid out for the partnership teams. Competitiveness isn't everything and not the endgame. Does this mean your favourite team has the chance to implode? Yes. But when one door close, another open.
It's really up to the orgs/teams/players. If we don't have permission, we won't use them.
Orang pada di IG ada yg mulai hashtag boikot Pacific League
G bisa dipastikan fix atau ngga, bestnya kita liat aja dulu
Probably. I won't be surprised if there's going to be another FGC Tournament Circuit for 2023. I hope there's more Chinese tournaments in the offseason too.
Fanbase isn't everything. Financials, the ability to sustain those finances and maintaining the fanbase's interest is ALSO AS IMPORTANT. BOOM has the most PC fanbase? Great! Can they sustain it? Do they have the funds to match? You could make the case that they do deserve it, but come on. RRQ having that much capita makes it more valuable than BOOM.
Meh, get off your high horse. It's politics, but it's still one heck of an effort to get into the league. Orgs were creating 200-page proposals to make their case shown. Efforts will not be ignored by Riot. Same thing here.
As much as it hurts to remember, he has a point. The region parity is not as big as you think.
I mean you can do it. Cultivate an entirely new generation of fanbase, on top of your existing one organically. RRQ has already a good fanbase within Valorant; old ID fans that follow the old team, and the current PH fans with the current roster.
You can have both and have them both co-exist at the same time while creating a crossover.
I didn't say BOOM isn't qualified (match the criteria) for the league, but I'm trying to say that BOOM not going in due to Riot being a dictator is laughable.
Riot being a dictator? HAHA! Truth may be there but please, let me indulge you in their reasoning.
The process was incredibly competitive, and we were humbled by the interest and the overwhelming number of applications we received. The selection spanned months, including a written application, in-depth interviews, and financial reviews. Ultimately, we looked for three things in our new VCT partners:
1 ./// Organizations who share our values of always putting fans first, celebrate our diverse community, and are committed to supporting pros
2 ./// Organizations who have created a strong connection with fans through engaging content, a compelling brand, and an exciting roster
3 .///Organizations who build for the long-term, with a focus on sustainability
It’s worth addressing directly that while we respect and celebrate past competitive performance, it was not a key consideration in our decision - as we instead focused on an organization’s ability to create the most compelling VCT for fans in the future.
Do you know that originally, the rumors suggested it was going to be 5 KOREAN TEAMS? Jesus christ, all were LCK orgs, and 2 out of 5 teams didn't have a Valorant team. Now? 5 from the APAC region (including South Asia), 3 from Korea, and 2 from JP. Yes, Korea has one of the best rapport for Riot events in the Pacific. But that doesn't exactly mean favouritism.
DetonatioN is a Japanese org. They've had historically (with other teams from other games) go for rosters around the KR/JP region. Their LJL team? KR and JP players. Their current Valorant team? The same. Does this mean they will go for the same? Who knows, but it doesn't rule out the possibility of doing so.
They do deserve it. Do you know that APAC was Gen.G and T1's secondary option? They both encapsulate as the Korean org to follow. Internationally proven with fanbases all across the globe.
Well, I can only make guesses, but clearly, Riot chose them for a reason. Is it because they own OneUp and their well beyond financially stable? Internal politics will exist one way or another. It's not like we can ignore it, nor Riot ignoring the worth of RRQ's history and fanbase at the same time. Regardless, let's see what they'll do.
...You do know how the partnership slots work right? As long as RRQ prove themselves to be competitive within the league and able to organically sustain themselves with their financials and fanbase, RRQ can stay as long as they can do those things, to be honest. BOOM has a chance to go through Ascension for now, but I won't be surprised if an expansion slot comes, BOOM is looked into again.
I don't really think so? It's between BOOM and RRQ. And while I admit that BOOM making it in is honestly saddening, RRQ deserves it as much as BOOM does if you look into how Riot wants an org to succeed in the International Leagues. Good capita and investment sources, a diverse and widespread fanbase, and the ability to sustain themselves towards the future. Both match the criteria, both deserved it ideally.
Korea, by far, has the best infrastructure to support an offline league with a proven record by Riot's standards. Either they use the Sangnam Colosseum where Challengers Korea had their matches or potentially move to LoL Park where the current LCK is held and First Strike was done there.
Dude, chill. It was his dream. Don't knock on it.
Be respectful. Jaga sikap. Ga perlu dibilang dua kali.
Ratio'd by the grace of BoDork and myself
Still part of the EMEA ecosystem even with the differential
Dude he did well during his VCT run prior to his quick return to CSGO
Xccurate *reintroduced to Valorant. He already participated in VCT evenrs in the past
Oh, I wasn't able to open the link because my data couldn't handle it — you meant the Orchestral theme! Honestly, I see with the upcoming season a chance for Riot to step up the songs, but the fact that the leitmotif for the Valorant main theme is interwoven into each song is good enough for now!
Also I swear Challengers had a theme song before
...you do know the theme was already released right? We had Champions theme song for 2021 and 2022.
Tell that to those who made millions playing PUBG Mobile. It's one of the most profitable esports in Southeast Asia.
I'm talking in faith that I recognize VLR forums are in a bad state; but I know some of you have the conscience to not make it extra worse.
Sure, sure. My apologies. I'm just trying to not take sides.
I slept at 2 am my time, and woke up to see this. I had to read back and watch. It's 7 am.
It serves no purpose to assume and point fingers. Right now, there's a lot of information coming through and there is little to none way to discern what is the 100% truth. Wait for more information.
Assume, and you're going to slowly turn the narrative.
Hey, I know not everyone in VLR is a mindless parrot.
