the team is not bad, the teams that beat them are just better. but when your tier 2 scene collectively doesnt want to move up to tier 1 what can you do
some of these bullies are majestic af no?
edit: im not saying buzz is majestic af 😭😭😭

ah i see, appreciate the information
i thought he had visa issues because of the russia-ukraine war though, that's why he almost didn't make tokyo?
wait i may have gotten confused. i meant dos9 and sultan. alym is not who i was thinking of
isn't he like a demon1 kinda scenario where he's basically NA but carries a different passport
i mean even if that were not the case he's still legal for furia as everyone else is an americas player
kaz/kyrg is central asia, but not far enough into asia to count as APAC i think. just based off historical import rules (dos9 and that other dude who was really good but i forgot his name were counted as imports iirc)
i can almost guarantee that many teams that don't make partner will be dropping their academy and gc teams like flies lol
EU does not mean European Union but Europe. all three have been counted as EMEA until now, so I guess they are the EU part. For Kazakh/Kyrgyz they may be MENA.
yes, it's likely incompetency from the staff. to think it's malicious and done to benefit a team is straight up retarded. i would believe you if GEN.G also didn't get their eyes blown out by the same lights.
somebody didn't like that it broke the narrative
russians count as EMEA imports even if they've played in APAC their entire lives unfortunately
vct pacific production fucked up and flashbanged all the players on stage.
to some people this means that GE got nerfed and KR teams were having an unfair advantage again somehow even though they were also flashbanged
the real villain was the staff who did not tech pause to fix the issue despite the protests from the coaches
what i'm saying is not nationalism, that would imply i think Korea is better than everyone else.
I never understood why people care so much about what people say about their country when it doesn't effect them or their family
dunno if you've seen this but there have been attacks and generalisations of Korean people in this community regarding the controversies, so yes this technically does affect Korean people, and by extension, me.
Frankly speaking I just don't understand the nationalism thing especially among Asians. You guys care a bit too much.
Asian people are proud of their culture and who they are. That's not a crime. SEA people are proud to be SEA. Chinese people are proud to be Chinese, etc. nothing wrong with that, until you start saying Chinese people are cheaters, SEA people are cheaters, etc.
but those org aren't big enough to hold a player down
yes they are. Kushy was stuck in AE jail for years. Wayne went to TL because Motiv set his buyout very high. Look at how Invy was rotting on Team Secret until PRX managed to get him for a good deal.
IF the partnered teams play the T2 teams more often they might see a talent worth buying out and they will SEE more talents regardless like a random rankers team not filled with top streamers if i am understanding this correctly
partnered teams already scrim tier 2 and chinese teams, they are well aware of upcoming tier 2 talent. the scene is more connected than you think
open qualifiers are localised to the subregion i believe, so that'll make the ping issues easier to deal with.
i assume kickoff, cup 1, and cup 2 will be LAN.
cheating has always been unavoidable outside of a LAN environment. just how it is.
Riot has held open qualifiers for Valorant before, back in 2020~2022, without too much controversy. i assume it will be a bit better now on
open qualifiers are by definition open so any rank can participate i believe, but you will be seeded based on your team's rank average i assume
yes, if people are okay with China having its own league and direct slots to internationals (the only single country to have this privilege btw), they should understand that Korea also gets attention from Riot.
However they overstep the boundaries and accuse Korea of being shady and having unfair advantages. Like literally I open twitter and people are hating on Korea because GE had blinding lights on while they were playing, even though GEN.G had the same lights shining in their face too.
SEA tier 2 did not get a massive buff from this. SEA tier 2 talents have always been there, but the orgs they play for stick them in bad contracts which makes it difficult for them to move up to good teams. That has not changed with the new format - the orgs must abandon their bad practices for SEA to get a massive buff.
i believe they will play in Kickoff/Cup1/Cup2, not Open Qualifiers.
the common narrative is that Riot is unfairly biased to Korea, this guy is implying that AGAIN
mfs will hate on Korea for literally anything and everything
since ur pacific
open qualifiers for SEA, KR, JP, SA
teams who win will go to Kickoff, Cup 1, and Cup 2 to qualify for Masters 1, Masters 2, and Champions
there will be a certain number of partnered teams within the overall region (Pacific)
you need to have at least 3 players from the subregion you're playing in, so PRX would need 3 SEA players as they're an SEA team, etc.
yeah but i would assume regions like LATAM or Brazil will also pay less than NA for example. Riot can't possibly compensate for the global economy as well no? SEA's salary is probably low because there's little investment from the country itself (i.e. their orgs, their fans, sponsors, etc.)
I can only imagine esports regions with established scenes like EU/NA/CN/KR/JP can afford to pay good salaries, that's just reality unfortunately.
And anyway, that's what the partnered teams are for. Riot will at least provide a stipend for one SEA team, so there's that.
