bro has 1 vct trophy and its from kickoff.

unofficials dont count

termi is never winning an international then

termi will find a way to get 5-6 at ascension trust me

i wanna see if termi can win an international event (ascension)

there is a nonzero chance at least one of the randos in that lobby is having a quick game during their lunch break and they queued into 7 tier 1 members

close but no cigar :sob:
they should have closed out their second and third chances, the team has talent for sure

endoist is next up, talented player

it's no problem!

great piece but no lyrics :(

all good jesper kyd pulled some bangers

great shout persona has some bangers

messi clears not even a debate especially atp

The song has to have lyrics otherwise Minecraft would sweep this shit

I vote:
Never Fade Away - Cyberpunk 2077
Simple and Clean - Kingdom Hearts
To the Wilder - Death Stranding 2 (specifically this version with the sick ass electric guitars: https://youtu.be/lUUI-6qFfrk?si=mV9grM_73z-usagQ) ((also the last part goes hard))

you're forgetting the team secret fans calling out ts on their nepotism bullshit since day 1, respect the real heroes here buddy

strongest race are martians

say otherwise and enigma will ban ur ass

every team from Korea to Singapore gets basically 40-ish ping to hong kong and besides, Pacific teams scrim CN teams.

yeah bring messi back and he would wipe these bums

messi clears

They fucked over SEA, yes. Them treating KR/JP properly does not constitute preferential treatment. For example, if I were to hit you and only you out of 100 people, I am not giving the other 99 people preferential treatment, I am just mistreating you.

this team would win pacific every year until the end of time

masters ho chi minh would go crazy

where did u get this information mr pork

6 now can we make it 7

bro has 3 upfrags

no you should ask the Japanese players because they literally have no stake in any of this

timmy tim bout 30

ong they need to investigate termi

yes its me

you're right, riot did mishandle SEA tier 2, no doubt about it. that's a fact. you are however also saying "theres been a preferential treatment to tier2 kr/jp.", which is not a fact. at least, it's not a proven fact yet.

wait, so you think Riot intentionally fucked over SEA for the benefit of Korea and Japan? They willingly shut down a market just so Korea and Japan had a chance to perform better?

just to clarify, jemkin said that if RRQ were to do it they would be penalised, not that they have been penalised

prepare to get framemogged and keep your girl close

that would not be ideal

some people just want to believe

the lore is

tldr
some people think vct pacific is rigged for korea to do well because jemkin complained that he could hear the korean casters, that nongshim were late and didnt receive any penalties, t1 were smoking in the bathroom and if rrq were to try it theyd be penalised, and prx didnt unlock veto twice and didnt get any penalties
frost said the draw was rigged and thats why t1 got a good group
and frost said last year the korean teams were scrimsharing
akame and izu basically said they couldnt hear anything on stream

my post kind of addresses most of these and gives context tho

Riot Pacific have mishandled the SEA tier 2 scene but I fail to see how that relates to Korean bias. You genuinely believe that Riot wanted to cripple the SEA scene to favour Korea and not because they just wanted to cheap out and save money by outsourcing things to SOOP?

If I’m misinterpreting you then my bad, but if I’m not that is a crazy take.

no clue, it’s also (unrelated) kinda weird that you can’t smoke in a bo3 but can in a bo5, maybe time constraints? idk

yeah i think if anything it’s a bias to strong teams or popular teams. GEN.G, DRX, NS, VARREL haven’t appeared to have received preferential treatment - the only teams suspected of it are T1 and PRX.

geng aint winning shit with lakia calling hits into 4 man sites bro 😭😭😭😭they need meteor and munchkin back

actually the smoking thing is pretty big because it is illegal to smoke in the bathroom in Korea, so Jemkin actually should have reported this to legal authorities instead of spilling the beans on broadcast LMFAO

GE fighting bro

Ascension 24, Ascension 25, Shanghai, Bangkok

Kickoff 24, Stage 2 24, Kickoff 25

There is no real Kickoff winner in 2026 in my opinion, because they just qualify to Santiago and don’t face each other.

okay based fuck it if everyones cheating no one is

competitive integrity should be enforced at the highest level in all regions

First off I want to state two things:

1. It is suspicious that certain Korean players have had their headsets on improperly, and if they are actually cheating using this method they should be punished.
2. It may be true that at least one Korean team is receiving preferential treatment, and if so they should be punished.

I’m not trying to defend anyone here but I want to set the narrative straight and also offer context and things to think about.

We all know Jemkin exposed T1 and Nongshim for receiving preferential treatment, but everyone seems to have forgotten he exposed PRX for this treatment too.
If VCT Pacific was truly biased towards Koreans, why would they give PRX preferential treatment when nobody on their team or org is Korean?
Additionally, Nongshim’s coach Sungmin clarified on Twitter that they weren’t even given preferential treatment and Jemkin simply didn’t know what was going on.

FrosT claims that the draw was rigged, and maybe it was rigged, but for Koreans? There are like 3 or 4 Korean teams that got fucked over because of this draw. There’s only one team who seems to have gotten a good draw, and that’s T1.
So how is this rigged in favour of Koreans?

As for the headset issues, it’s clear that Lakia and Sylvan are possibly two of many players to wear their headsets improperly, and they should be investigated and Riot should do something to enforce proper soundproofing. They should also make sure that all random draws are certifiably random, either by drawing lots instead of balls, having players or coaches pick random balls, or whatever.

As for Koreans and cheating, if the Korean teams really were as fraudulent and reliant on rigging to succeed as some people are claiming, how come they have the best international performances in the region? Surely the GEN.G and T1 players didn’t receive preferential treatment at Madrid, Shanghai, or Bangkok. Nor could they have shared scrims at those events either.
And surely SPG didn’t receive preferential treatment at Jakarta, nor did NS and SLT at Ascension 2025.

It’s important to note that Korea has actually won more international trophies than VCT Pacific trophies.

This shit has gotten completely warped in favour of some weird narrative that people want to push to confirm their own biases. I want to restate that there is a high possibility of preferential treatment and cheating, and if so those parties should be punished. But don’t leave out important context for the sake of fueling your own personal narrative.

this narrative is so dumb. people just always leave out the fact that jemkin said prx also got preferential treatment for the sake of confirming bias. nobody talks about the fact that jemkin only spilled dirt on the 3 teams rrq lost to, one of which was proven false.

vouch

LMFAO

if i were him and i was innocent and i basically got flamed for shit i didnt do two years in a row id have a generational crashout
