Hello everyone!
With the success of our in-person event coverage during Champions 2024 with Seulgi, VLR is returning for another edition for Masters Bangkok, now with me and Seoulera at the helm!
This time, our coverage will extend the entirety of the events, starting with the Pre-Event Press Coverage on February 19.
Like last time, we're looking to create a variety of content throughout the Swiss Stage and Playoffs, including personalized questions and post-match interviews. And like before, we're open to ideas to what you folks - the community want to see!
Make sure to follow us on X and YouTube for the coverage throughout Bangkok!

They literally landed a few days ago. For all we know they're doing media day during the interval; tomorrow we have the pre-event press conference.
They have a lot of IRL activation activities (they transformed the nearest MRT station close to the venue), and teams were just landing and exploring. There's some amount of content on Valorant Esports TH's FB and IG.
Yes.
More like it hasn't been updated yet, once AE/OF is done
No, don't blame them either, we're just all busy right now. I just so happen to be awake.
I'm so so sorry, I was a bit backed behind with my schedule. I'm very sorry once again.
Sultan udh di PH, sama kayak PTC.
Free1ng wasn't even a 'rookie' in the traditional sense. He was in FIRST STRIKE. Took him a three year hiatus to slowly build up to show up in Rare Atom and decimate everyone there.
Nope, still searching if anyone's doing a watchparty
In terms of Japan, DFM is probably on the newer side and has less resources for now compared to what ZETA has done. But a good org will support its development of its players and constantly giving them opportunities where they needed it (ie Premier, maybe T3 tournaments)
Just look at the Korean academies.
TJ Sports is basically Tencent's esports arm specifically with Riot. They've been handling anything esports related for Riot since LPL and their League of Legends OPS, so it was natural for them to transfer along once VCT CN is established. This isn't a new thing.
Evolution Series was also how they've gotten the first VCT CN Ascension team (DRG), and this is a continuation of it, albeit in a different form.
I personally describe it as when a team retains equal or more than 50% of your roster coming into a season/tournament.
So you have 6 players? 3-4 players that are still active come the next tournament. 7 players? 4-5, and so on.
(It's also how we maintained core connectivity for rosters across different teams/org)
Didn't think so. It was after LNY too so probably schedule wasn't matching? But I don't think the drama affected that much considering they played even with watasink
That ain't just you, def it's misinput
They are still a business. But even that isn't the point I brought it up. Competition is still paramount, but if you kill the entirety of the CN scene (which minds you, took 3 years of underground competition and another year of limbo because VCT CN wasn't set up,) it'll be bad for both the investors and the players.
Apples and oranges when comparing the situation with Korea and APAC as a whole, but you just can't deny them of their chance.
Also, Valorant is competing with Crossfire as the hegemony of competitive FPS there.
China's player population and competitive popularity is warranted enough for them to have their own scene. It is by far the most thorough T2 and T3 system on top of their T1 league. To consolidate them is to eliminate their potential population.
Korea is reaching that level, but I assume if it does happen, it'll be down the line since remove KR, a hypothetical Japan + SEA league needs a new home and it needs time to set up. And even that is a ridiculously improbable situation.
Fellas, no bracket flip apparently. This remains Talon's match.
In this case, they're required to since they are CN reps to Masters Bangkok
Right now it's just taking the players from the team profile. We don't have the full profile for the remaining 5 players, so when they play, the profiles will be added. This is not the final starting roster.
(Falk is the only player from the starting roster who doesn't have a profile)
But they're still content with having an NA GC team. The closest Aussie org capable is either PWR, Chiefs, or Mindfreak.
Rank demon in the JP ladder, or at least high enough to caught NLights/Melof's eyes
Correct

This is Evolution Series, China's mid-split tournament so the teams won't get too rusty during the offseason and for teams to use their alternate lineups and players (for example, EDG and TE being CN reps for Bangkok must play their alternate/reserve players)

Misinput from the beginning. It was switched.
That's the backend; rankings are dynamic and WIP.
Hello, it's your local VLR mod TMo here,
I've updated the team flairs selection for: LATAM, KR, JP, CN, and APAC. The rest of the regions are WIP. Have fun!
Usually there would be problems with the external program they use for the VCT HUD, called Barracks. If that happens, nothing that they can't do except having to wait until it gets fixed from Barracks' side.
Our mistake fellas, outdated information that we got and late to change it.
free1ng is actually one of the older players out there lmao
They're playing standard valorant- GE's making them look good.
DFM is Crazy Raccoon, Crazy Raccoon is DFM.
I've been a lowkey fan ever since CR acquired DFM's Valorant assets, and even then I was still a supporter of CR.
Check CR's social media and personalities/talent. The fanbase is strong and many.
Life is the elder and will always be the elder.
A few, actually both in VCT and VCL
KOI has Movistar as their title sponsor, hence Movistar KOI
FearX in VCL KR has BNK, hence BNK FearX
Same with Dplus and KIA, hence Dplus KIA
I believe Papara used to be SuperMassive's title sponsor before they outright bought the team
I know there's probably other examples that went past me
I thought I was hallucinating when they keep switching
It's their actual name for the Valorant division (they're sponsored by one of the company under their parent org, Jingdong), hence JD Mall JDG Esports (JD = Jingdong)
It's not Riot, it's on LVP- the Challengers France stream has their HUD on.
There will be 6 act/episodes, the season will run through the entire year
