I think online games was only a covid thing. In esports LAN games are the norm.

brother no one can even watch their games because of timezones. and they have no marketable stars.

You're right about the Verno situation, but no one gives a damn about pacific. And not for the reasons you think. No one in the west can even watch their games because of timezones. And none of their teams have marketable stars, at least not to the extent of a TenZ for example.

This would only be a valid point if 100T were a trash team but they aren't. So who cares about his individual performance. Meanwhile the fact NRG even made the playoffs in itself is criminal.

Pacific and China have no aura. Western fans don't fw China or Pacific.

And the only accurate thing you said about Americas was Verno. The rest aren't narratives or is just false.

Real. That was the final nail in the coffin. He should have never retired.

You're unable to disprove anything I said...

nah no one really cares about that tier 10 org.

I always think of: "Suygetsu aims... The reset! Absolutely ridiculous!!"

well of course. that's what made vct so fun from 2020-2023. Also like most of the replies are saying, all the likable faces have left the scene which has deteriorated it even further.

Scarface

No storylines, rivalries, or a face of the league. Last good year was 2023 when Demon1 and Boostio gave 0 fucks. Now it's stale because riot and the community are soft as fuck and get offended by competitiveness and trash talk.

Should riot start scripting games to manufacture narratives? Thoughts?

No, riot always places you like 6 ranks lower at first.

Demon1 on brim is literally fine tho?

If they want to win again then they need to unrefire TenZ. He was the heart and soul of that team.

Marved IGL was goated

Fair, but what Vietnamese orgs are there then?

Almost fell for it

Probably no real market for Vietnamese

Genius, the team that's 5-0 isn't S tier.

Lev are about to make an absurd stage 2 comeback, mark my words.

and what's your point?

1.05 rating

nah, buying skins on an alt is a waste of money

and no im not smurfing

🧢🧢

he made vct fun. ppl mad about that are soft as fuck.

Hire Onur. Mad underrated.

nah, unc is on par with ange1

caveman era. all of these are probably extinct.

victor on brim and demon1 on raze? gee i wonder why

I think it has more to do with a lack of rivalries, storylines, or faces of the league. This year and last year have been stale as fuck.

Nah, he's underrated atp. On a losing team plagued with many issues his rating for the season is serviceable. For half the season his rating was higher than aspas and zekken before they got their stats boosted from playing trash teams.

True also c0m.

This narrative is overblown. Imo the optic team members faced a bigger downfall besides crashies.

That was when vct was the most entertaining. When boostio and demon1 gave no fucks. Now vct is mad boring I ain't gonna lie.

Proved my point

Rolex

Maybe demon1 cuz bums be spreading false narratives about him

Why are you always hating c0m. So lame man.

Because SEN are playoff risers while c9 are the opposite.

Shownu?

ENVY tryouts

Cmon we gotta give EG some credit. Surely they make it a little close.

Explanation and context?

Players like Demon1

0/5 is crazy work

Likewise man, keep up the good work.

maybe like xeppaa. whenever he plays against NRG he randomly turns into prime lebron.

i always thought it was bizarre how that team failed so miserably. the cast of talent was so stacked.

i feel like ranked performance doesn't really matter that much
