Implied that it was one of the interests offered so the SG teams would participate, but I don't know (personally) the full extent of the truth or whether or not it's actually true.

I mean I did, it's just about the servers so I thought it was a given and not talking about anything else.

With the possibility of it being a Mumbai server match, I'm just hoping that they would not be screwed over monumentally. Kinda sorry if I sounded like an asshole, though. It's a concern, and I'm just hoping TEC would maintain fairness for both teams.

Never have I ever said nor imply that. And they're in Singapore, the heck you're saying about for logistics?

And hypothetically if TE were to participate in the LCQ, they would've gone the same. I'm not searching for excuses (heck what do I gain from it,) I'm just giving you a perspective that there'll be a mid-way solution one way or another. Whether or not it's advantageous or not for each side is another topic.

LCQ happened. What do you think the logistics was for that event?

Paper Rex didn't qualify for Champions. They'll be fine.

Zesbeew only acted as a standin.

Dominant.

Just a local LAN

Actually the first-ever LAN was Vietnam in the early days of Valorant competition.

One of the oldest mix in European Valorant, HSDIRR was a notable name early.

We are looking for one! If you know someone or are interested in being one yourself, send me a DM here or on Discord (TMosura#0412).

I'm terribly sorry as it is late and it's not that I intentionally ignore them as I deal with my other activities; I fully intend to try to update every single one of them and by no means do I treat this as a 'small tournament', but I apologize if I appear to be negligent of my efforts to do so.

missing Vietnam and HK/TW too

LMemore is on ONIC with NcSlasher.

Just stop.

And you're a literal asshole for claiming so.

Never really was hot during the JP playoffs, but they were close. They've been touted as the 3rd or 4th best team after ZETA and CR, and I'm so happy they realized their potential!

MEIY IS MY SOVA IDOL

It's not simply PRX throwing by themselves. Folks, it's the era of Korean Jett. May he rule with benevolence.

OT OT OT OT OT

Yep. D4v41 was the 'gadget'-ish jett main for PRX and he shared the role with F0rsaken before Jingg. It's not strange to see him play jett occasionally.

Don't talk shit about the casters. They're trying their best. They're suffering as we are. They're trying their best to save the stream.

Not without an outrageous reason. He's an idiot, but not more about that.

Thanks for catching it! Fixed.

And being an asshole/know-it-all about it is better?

It's still a lot better than this.

Stage 3 was fine, wdym?

Not even a third party; SEA/APAC have been working with amazing companies so far. This is what happens when you outsource the work to an unproven third party who never done a Valorant event.

Hi everyone. Due to unforeseen circumstances, stats from this match won't be available for now. We are looking into the issue as of this moment.

https://twitter.com/EliphantLtd. As far as I am aware, they have only done FGC events and SG Icon Series (Wild Rift.) No prior Valorant experience unless I'm missing something.

This is why you don't outsource to a company that has never done Valorant prod before this late into the season.

Don't use that as a reason to retaliate. You can be better than that.

Yes. To a company that to my knowledge, never done any Valorant production this late into the year.

I'm taking the personal decision to not nuke these threads for now, but please, do remind ourselves this is an international forum, and English is our preferred language of communication. While there ocassional comments of users using their native language, try to keep it civil.

Pregame live!

You missed the news by a month. Both Chinese teams won't participate due to logistical issues.

Fluked seeding game? Secret literally went through the lower bracket after got decimated by PRX (including a 13-1 Ascent humiliation) and returned the favour at the grand finals. Seeding matters. It's not a fluke. Not taking away from PRX's accomplishment, but kindly screw off with that bs.

We are still looking into it.

Per KJC Esports, this game will not be streamed due to production difficulties related to the raising of Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal #8 in Hong Kong. VODs will be uploaded in their YouTube channel.

Exactly

Basing on the teams that you've listed:

S+ - Paper Rex, X10 Esports, and Team Secret
S - Bleed eSports, ONIC G, Full Sense, BOOM Esports
A+ - Kingsmen, Louvre, Big BAAM, Foxy Araikordai, Alter Ego
A - CERBERUS, XcN, Team SMG, Morph Impact, Five Ace, CBT
A- - The Infinity Esports, Griffin Esports

My rankings:

1-3. X10 Esports/Team Secret/Paper Rex
4-8. Bleed eSports/ONIC G/Full Sense/BOOM Esports

5. Louvre
6. Kingsmen
7. Big BAAM
8. Foxy Araikordai
9. Alter Ego
10. XcN
11. Morph Impact
12. CERBERUS
    13-14. CBT/Five Ace
13. The Infinity
14. Griffin

SEA as a whole is very close. You could argue the disparities between the domestic success and their inter-regional performance, but I can't for my sake give a definitive rank for anyone in the top 8. They're so close to each other, but at the same time, there's a distinct difference between the three that is Paper Rex, X10, and Secret and the likes of Bleed, ONIC G, etc. The rest is arguable, as honestly some of them are either flash-in-the-pan gods, infamous choker bots both domestically, and the scarce inter-regional appearances.

With bias in mind, I'm looking forward to the new rosters of ONIC, BOOM, and AE. The self-destruction of the old AE created one of the craziest roster-fiesta since the end of Stage 1 and 2, and the balance might be shifted towards BOOM and ONIC now that whatever nameless faces AE is recruiting will soon be revealed.

Darkkky

It's looking like there won't be one considering the weird GF format that they've set up.

Alright let's not go there.

F0rsaken's agent pool is decent, so some have thought that he's being moved to a secondary role, testing the comp.
