Look im just saying, a lot of sea fans used to blame korea about a lot of their problems. Like I said it sucks that orgs are leaving but riot too cheap to keep giving support to tier 2. SEA tier 2 is just the start, other regions tier 2 gonna die and rely on academy teams soon mark my words

drx 1 player away from contending again

Ima just sum it up for yall so u can understand better.

1. Riot aint give two fucks about tier 2 scene.
2. Koreans dont give a fuck about sea enough to “suppress” their scene
3. Riot will do anything to save money and they did by taking soop deal.
   Orgs leaving sucks but stop throwing around low iq narratives.

yea i mean soop probably did get the deal before others since they said they ll pay for it. RIOT probably didnt even think twice before accepting it. Either way, SEA should still be fine, soop deal isnt forever, and viewership might have decreased, but the whole point of academy teams is to find the right talent and nurture them into tier 1. As long as SEA academy does that well they ll be fine in tier 1.

nah but its gonna be fun to watch, pretty sure many teams will be testing stuff for stage 2. Some teams will take ewc serious too

nvm

So why they didnt offer riot to run entire tier 2 and cover operating costs? Because thats the only reason soop got the deal lmao. I mean its clearly not ideal for sea tier 2 but pretty sure soop is paying for everything. But tbh the op is probably lowkey correct about soop being a chaebol and having connections. But I doubt there is any agenda to suppress tier 2 sea scene

im talking about soop already has a presence in val scene. They already have off season tournament for last 2 years now. When will SEA organizer put in money like them? You let me know, but until then soop will be higher priority for RIOT since they already invest money in the scene

stay at prx and collect the glory and money. Or he could leave and go replace xffero. Both good choices in different directions

if drx wins champs, valorant is cooked lmfao

not everything is a conspiracy lmao, when you guys start living in reality the world starts making more sense. Its just about saving money for RIOT. SOOP said they ll pay for all the costs and even have a venue in korea. Same thing would happen if SEA organizer said they ll pay for everything.

Tbh geng is a team that gets better over time. Feel like they just crumbled hard…

hopefully one day man, need to see the gentle giant win a trophy

thats actually crazy if true

i had mfers telling me kaajak was gonna go +50 LMAOOOO. Kaajak is great, but he was shaking in his pants the last 2 maps.

ez money

geng is second best team but people arent ready for that convo yet

t3xture will win mvp at paris

Pacific winning last 3/4 tournaments is crazy. The shift has changed from west to east now

Pacifc back to back trophies 😂. Hat trick time

Respect to prx I doubted them for years but their style paid off. Asia #1

PRX winning this all good, you see kaajak aim shaky? yea its over

game over cause of him

mindfreak honorary trophy winner

dont worry eu has their own advantages. They have way more brain than average apac player or at least tac fps brain

he isnt even close to being washed. Hes just on bad team and vibes arent good anymore. Hes going to become franchise player for one of the korean teams soon

he cant speak english well and prx need high iq player not players like something. Primmie is best aimer in the world but need a lot more brain if he wants to win trophy one day.

asia is best aiming region and its not close lmao

prx won with 4v5 and lost double pistol. I think fnc is cooked lmao

hopefully geng wins champs so I can stop watching val

problem with something is if his aim isnt hitting, he doesnt have the brain to hold his performance up

id rather have rb over something right now lmao

+rb or even better +kushy

jinggg does not avoid slander, have u seen the offseason about him? poor kid was flamed for being born into a wealthy family lmfao

+stew I think he speaks solid english, + jemkin would actually be wild

they are using t1 pearl comp?

its back to pearl now all good, just keep mental strong for rest of maps and prx can bring this home

Congratz to SEA fans, first ever trophy incoming

Prx never won first map before in grand finals. They are in unknown territory now chasing trophy

Its so over for fnatic

I fear he may be washed, at this point just slap him on killjoy and cypher and see how it goes

nah but hes been on a org called cbt with kk before and that was around 2021. I think yuicaw was in that org too at some point

i dont think most people realize spring is a og name in the asia scene, eren is another guy whos gonna pop out one day

I think prx bans haven and icebox

This guy said toronto mvp. You just proved how delusional you are

this is exactly what I call emea delusion. People out here putting kaajak as untouchable god or something. Kaajak already got exposed by t3xture. Hyunmin will do the same in the future. Remember we are talking only mechanical skill

hyunmin would drop a nuke on him yall are buggin. Kaajak is good but stop acting like he is faker or something. They are def around the same level mechanically

PRX STILL GOT THIS all good

Nah geng dont deserve to be here after that bs they pulled. they ll bounce back for champs tho

looks fun to be out there, munchkin should learn a thing or two
