Are you mad? At the very least before BOOM fell off a cliff-showed their peak; NS showed that they can hung out with the best of the best and they at least survive to compete in Ascension. NEVER SHITTALK OUR TIER 2 EVER.
Good night, sweet prince.
The API lookup was bugged. Now fixed.
Nope, their points are still below the qualification threshold. Most likely they'll have to confirm Top 2 regardless
Free entry, there will be a registration detail announced soon.
For now the deal will continue for next year, although it's not clear if the exclusivity will continue. The reason why SEA ran on YT for Split 3 is that there were considerable pushback from the Indonesian community to have SOOP loosen it. We're seeing it crack, bit by bit even if it only starts with the ID stream.
I'm tired.

You're mad. Vietnam, without having any team or not, have a good chunk of fans in the region. See their previous VCL Vietnam events, even their grassroot tournaments.
They never had an interregional event in their turf because people always pushed them aside. And now they have their chance to show their passion.
People will show up. Learn your history.
Because both teams (RRQ and Talon) have 3 points from the regular season, and 3rd place gets 4 points regardless.
Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau players are a two-way street, they can both play in Pacific and China. Mongolia plays in the Pacific region thanks to Kobolds' and The Mongolz' eligibilty last year.
Seconded Taiwan. The LCP (LoL Pacific League) studio is there, and they've hosted Riot events before. My second recommendation outside of Korea would be Japan, then Thailand (practically PAC's second home), and Vietnam.
TW/HK is probably the smallest out of the subregions and other than the fact at any time, they can also participate in CN events meant their teams are spread out between two circuits.
There had been a lot of Taiwanese teams that are Asia-Pacific capable (2021-2023) like ONE Team, and Five Ace Esports back then, but they've since pulled out.
Funnily enough, their collegiate scene are actually healthy.
They still can, they just need top 2 either way
TW/HK was always part of Pacific/SEA since the League days.
It happened before, in League. It was called the LCS Academy. It was honestly, not good.
You're comparing the different cultural values and upbringing between two vastly different regions. Yes, that doesn't excuse the willingness to learn and etc, but the societal values are way different between us both.
Not saying it's the same for all Japanese, but still.
I mean I'm surprised they JUST kept Melo because Astell did have something up so he had to leave iirc. If anything I thought they would've brought a third mind to help NLights because it's clear the ideas were there, but execution is horrible.
I don't mind if they had kept NLights
all good tho you're angry at the staff and I'm kinda too
NorthernLights is a carryover from CR. He was with Astell, and not because of Melo. If anything, get Melofovia out bc NLights needs a better support for him because he's so young.
Because it's compensating for the original 6 (now 5 thanks to flexible slots) regions that got combined.
ID
PH
VN
TH
MY/SG
PH
So basically a Play-In scenario happens when only one team from Americas gets relegated to Ascension or out of it entirely (in this case, 2G). In this case, the #3 seed from LATAM, NA, and Brazil gets invited to play in a single round robin group.
If there's only one Ascension team, then only the winner of Play-In moves on to the Swiss Stage. If there's no Ascension teams, then the top 2 moves on.

Certain words, especially for someone that's bilingual can always jumble someone's perception of the language.
Mixing languages and words aren't a novel thing, especially when there's a lot of borrowed words and someone using it in a second or third language.
Ah right, keep forgetting they're South teams.
LEV and KRU would count as LATAM teams and potentially go to the hypothetical North division like how LATAM teams are in LTA.
yall are doomposting. I just forgot to set it to featured. Move on.
Offseason during Chengdu, then it's just a matter whether or not they could maintain their momentum.
Like I said on my own post; I agree about representation, but is it worth it when there is one more year until the first partnership cycle is finished and the evaluation begins?
50/50 chance either they stay or get reconsidered. Representation isn't enough when they're already far too deep into it. If they continue on post-2027 then by all means.
I'd like them to go bold either way.
It's not a matter of money either. Their best bet in Thailand (practically Pacific's second home) or Vietnam.
The problem primarily if you wish to move the league to SEA can be boiled down to:
I think it can be boiled down to how the majority of Asia (that includes regions like SEA) that heavily value national representation due to how a lack of representation of them on the international stage, especially in a global PC esports scene like Valorant (and insert other national sports teams here).
When we heavily pride ourselves of being from that region in particular, naturally we would want to see homegrown talents from said region to be seen on a global stage. Representation comes first, performance second.
That's the true Achilles Heel of our regional mindset as a whole. When people want their country to be seen, is it worth the potential drop or rise in performance? SA is already troubled with pings and an isolation in scrims since the inception of the Conquerers Championship all the way in 2021. I've seen the amount of good talents there, it's just the matter of getting the talent out of the bubble.
Er, no, they're an affiliate team. They're allowed to participate because they're not an official academy team, they just carry the name of BBL via partnership. Once they're onto Ascension, they should be participating under PCIFIC again.
ASCENSION TEAMS RISE
SLOWLY AGENDA WILL RISE
SWORD9 CALLING TO CHAMPS
YOYO BEST PICKUP
Slowly agenda will rise.
Unc Sword9 will stunt.
Sir this is the playoffs.
You do realize it's being played in another city, where venue setup, logistics setup, as well as travelling across the country which also will ultimately result in a bootcamping situation affects the dark days in between?
It's accounting if Boom or NS both get relegated into playing Ascension, so that's why there's two flexible slots.
Put some respect on Z1yan too because he stuck it as much as stew has in JDG besides the long members
oh my god.
Yes, if both BOOM and NS don't get relegated to Ascension, the slot will be given to SEA.
If you ask if that's a lot, it's not.
It's the compensation for the six dissolved region: TW/HK, MY/SG, TH, VN, PH, and ID.
It gives flexibility for both SEA and the current Ascended teams.
Yeah, but it means more towards Reject since I think if Riddle wins, RC auto qualifies over QTD, but if RID lost RC will be tied in points
Rushia is a no-brainer for China. If you haven't seen the kid played, he's just cerebral
Yes to the first one
They just need either qualify for playoffs or stay in Top 8 of Champ Points in order to have the Ascension safety net
Link is fixed! You can properly access it now.
Bigtime's British??? There's also Komodo???
