PTC planned to have a long break but uh got dragged back in

Dang, somebody had his day rough.

PRX got greedy. You can see this in their positioning and executions. Someone needed to wake them up.

LaZe just gave PRX their first MY/SG domestic loss since August last year during Stage 3 where they lost to... UwU. Another unsigned team.

LONG AMAZING ZEBRA EARS

And Styron just turned it right back!

Blink twice if you need help, ExWarrior.

Probably just missed it. Added!

I love the logo, I love the vibe around it. Team's pretty solid, just need time.

Vietnam's Riot ecosystem is already pretty legit, all things considered. I'm pretty sure other than the Philippines, they're the only SEA Riot team who hosted an Agent Takeover themselves, too.

Added upon their investment within the VCS in League, Vietnam has been quite the staple for Riot's influence in SEA. There's a reason that Vietnam is a minor region independently beyond their SEA counterparts in the PCS.

Had eyes on him for a long time.

It's Retla.

Because the fanbase does not end with the developers.

I came from TF2. My esports journey came from TF2. I legit owe my good massive multiplayer online experience due to TF2. As old as the game is, the memories I've made since 2015 brought me to where I am today. I'd never have gotten the spot at VLR if it wasn't for my experience working in competitive TF2. Lots of players here too were from TF2. It's sad to see that when I left the scene, the game was slowly forming to where it is now. I loved it. And I know the community, old or new, loved it dearly. There's a saying amongst folks in the community TF2 circle: "You never leave TF2." And that still stands today.

The game is on the brink of ruins. And the community isn't letting it happen. We survived living amongst scraps for over a decade - we're not giving it up now.

I mean there's always a contract but the situation is just muddy overall, no?

I think that's always the plan for OCE teams to bootcamp in Thailand regardless

Finally.

How about no?

As of now, still no news if Valorant will be getting a publish in China soon

No. NPPA freeze is still in play. The game is stuck in publishing limbo. The pros however can access them through Hong Kong servers.

Updated it.

HK/TW and VN pickems are up

I'll have to wait for today's matches

PH pickems are active

As far as we are informed, it's H2H > H2H round difference. Nothing confirmed.

Cannot confirm fully for now, waiting additional info

Try again

Challengers ID Pickems are up

Global needs to win against Khumbu. If Global wins the next match, even if Valor wins against Khumbu themselves, Global holds the H2H tiebreaker against Valor

same. I couldn't find any other article specifically mentioning the tiebreaker rules.

That is actually an interesting thing. I've noticed it, and I've looked into One Up's official standings as well. Should be fixed! Thanks for the heads up.

I'm fully aware of that. But nothing is confirmed either way and dated 10 May, while this is dated 9 May and coming from the official news source. Regardless, I won't be surprised if anything could be subject to change.

I honestly want to wonder where that info (about -1 VN seed) coming from. I'll ask my own source but the 2nd OCE slot as far as I know (that's confirmed) is non-existent

No reports as of now. I can confirm for now that OCE has only one slot, barring any further changes. Potential OCE, but no concrete evidence of so.

Game isn't officially out in China, due to the NPPA freeze. Only this year that from the social media side of things that they start to push for more publicity.

I'll have to say no for now. Official news post have said that OCE will get 1 slot as of now, with independent confirmation. Of course this could change, but there's no indication OCE gets two slots.

Don't look at Twitch. We suck at Twitch. Look at Youtube and Facebook for a better metric.

Around early June for APAC Playoffs

Because apparently they're not using it and opted for the Moon name for the rest of the group stage maybe?

Flaring alr signed to a team just yesterday

PRX, and only PRX. Bren (now Secret) were supposed to qualify for the event but visas were hard to acquire.

No, no. Two slots. They're right. As of this moment, the official news post stated it's two slots.

Tadi salah pencet, maaf

Aaaand fixed. Good thing I rechecked some of the later match threads.

Wtf

xccurate literally came in post-CSGO break and topfragged.

That's a Danish team
