Most mobile games can detects emulator usage and can throw you into a separate queue against emulator users as well
Wild Rift (and MAC OS Valorant) currently runs something called "embed Vanguard" which closes after you close down the game so probably that
has reached 10,000,000 pre registers in just 48 hours, pretty very fast on compare with other Mobile Games having pre-regs in China.
and a built-in spectator UI like tournaments, Previous NDA test had no custom rooms so Mobile is just one step away from fully able to run tournaments at demand
After years of development, they have officially announced the Mobile version of the game
The game will be developed by TWO STUDIOS
Unlike Wild Rift where Riot develops almost entirely, this one is Half Riot and Half non-Riot
Since they got a non-Riot studio to work this basically meant different development features in the Mobile version that PC doesnt have, so far
Are the unique features of Mobile version
Beta Signups goes live first in China then Riot will look to expand outside them, China is one of the key mobile markets so they are last to get PC Version, but first to get Mobile Version
add Russians if Riot willing to re-add them so they can move on from a game called Standoff (and China if they moved on from CrossFire Mobile)
Good for you I mean people do have choices, some are more attracted to Mobile
China and SEA were more into it
(Nepal too tbh)
I'm more concern if Indian govt would strike their game with a ban again like the others
Their official weibo accidentally posted it earlier an hour ago but taken down quickly, there's a Tencent Games Showcase on Tuesday
The video reveals some footage of the Mobile version including some new contents, Mobile version would be developed together with Lightspeed, the PUBG Mobile developers with Pre-Register in China starting after the video's supposed dropping date (Either Monday or Tuesday)
the event is on April 22nd, Back in 2023 version of this showcase was also where Riot announces the Close Beta date for Chinese server of PC VALORANT as well.
That is if they get the game without Govt striking out those first, Chinese app did get banned a lot over there in the recent years due to the border tension
hope they really get to play the game
Their Douyin aka TikTok in China account got the verifed checkmark today
an account claims that the game will have its Final Test next month before launch
Just a day after the previous discovery of VALORANT Mobile's WeChat account - https://www.vlr.gg/post/4672910/val-mobile-news-recently
Today several more has been discovered.
Tencent & Riot is going at exceedingly quick pace on building up the game's announcement in China. Which is the biggest Mobile Market (while can also more than afford all the GPUs at the same time) out there
Douyin (TikTok in China)
Weibo, this display a banner that seems official
BiliBIli
Summary of accounts discovered so far
Tencent were very much quiet for the whole 2024 for comparision.
Tencent & Riot China has been quite on a pace in the past few months with preparing behind the scene things for VALORANT MOBILE
February: WeChat account has an update to refer to be accounts owned by Tencent
a Week ago: Tencent now agressively finding jobs for VALM, however "Social Manager" is recently added to job openings
Top 2 of ST1 qualifies directly, !remindme later
That sounds like BO1 ? (they would need 4 streams at same time to run 12 bo3s in a day lol)
btw if we Asian have won the last three
what would happen when the mobile version gets its own tournament series? (Tencent would love to push for one anyway)
The crossfire vibes (even better) that I wanted to see
indirectly but it does help a lot with LoL's recent marketing restart over the years, so their LoL team affects all the way to the VALORANT side locally here
incl. China numbers - Most watched masters according to Leo
So thats around 3.7M from Chinese platforms alone
while Chinese platforms uses Heat Index which factors in chat activities and giveaways on their platforms,
Companies such as Tencent/Valve can gain access to direct raw traffic numbers (which isnt used publicly by Chinese platforms)
not CN but someone following the scene often, PUBG and DOTA cause are due to declining growth in the game, PUBG has yet to get approval meant orgs cant invest much while in DOTA2 well LoL and HoK eclipsed them in every aspect
the U18 rule does affect a bit where in the past teams like to stack U18 players as academies but they seem to adapt from it fine
Last year a Viral News makes massive headlines here, you may have recognized in the past of this picture featuring a Korean Tekken player inhaling a Thai Herbal Inhaler called Hong Thai before playing a match
Much later today Riot took a step further out of that and reveals a collab with the Inhaler brand itself
wrapped in a VALORANT V25 branding, you can actually bought it at the Venue until the tournament ends.
It is, many of us here had issues on getting to optimal english (well, its not main language too) so yeah
Some wording in english may need a bit of rearrangement to get the full context in thai
thats kpop-influenced crowd for you
this is fine
its you problem
People are hungry for these kind of events, Thai has really never got a Host of a Major Global Tournament of a Major Esports title in this scsale ever since, The closest they are is always the Mobile or Korean F2P games
only the ESL ONE Bangkok that breaks this drought then Masters
My eyes are not deceiving
ok its just HUD
Probably, I think the game will announced sometime this year, people speculate it could be during the game anniversary month in June
Exactly Today, they quietly deactivates the old account and create a new one instead. Which is the first time there's been any sort of official movement of VALORANT Mobile in a pretty long while since the beta at the end of 2024, theres been radio silent since
According to their linkedIn because it hasnt been posted elsewhere yet, 3 year partnership which meant all Three games (League TFT VAL) are guaranteed to return at the 2026 and 27 EWC as well
🏆 The three-year partnership with Riot Games will bring three of the world’s most influential games to the Esports World Cup for the next three years.
but also this part
In addition, the agreement includes a global commercial partnership between EWCF and LOL Esports, the VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT), and the TFT 2025 competitive circuit. Kicking off at VCT Masters Bangkok on February 20, 2025, the collaboration will feature EWC in-broadcast activations at LoL Esports, VCT, and TFT global LAN events.
VALORANT, LoL and TFT all got announced at the same time
Format isn't announced, but for LoL last year they invited Top 2 of each league, while TFT runs as a Team Format instead
Three of the five remaining games have a countdown 1 hour from this post at 20:30 EU all ended at the same time , at this point none of Riot titles had been announced yet
Funnily enough they could land a jersey deals in future tho (given some of other Chinese league out there had Puma sponsors)
Citing the team got almost no support from Riot and the complicated pathway into the International Leagues literally only Full sense remaining at this point
Yeah that is the elephant in the room here, EWC entirely run during July-August which immediately overlaps with Split 2
unless they find a way to cramp those in
There's been apparently a leaked slide on Chinese forum that indicates 2 VALORANT entries in EWC (one normal and one GC) however it's accuracy is unclear
Since the CN API is a different one run domestically, its why both VLR (and LP) were unable to do the same depths as the usual matches. As there hasn't been a way to reach out for access of these easily (I'd assume domestic sites is easier to approach, hence the existence of Haojiao)
within the Esports section (33) theres a slot for a "FPS/TPS game" which isnt revealed yet which game they are picking.
Citing the lack of recent performance, they chose to drop out of Split 3 and rebuild for 2025
Now that's 3/4? Teams that dropped out of the additional Split 3, Several in TH due to they prefer an off//season event and this one due to poor results
To start with, SOOP is formerly AfreecaTV, the whole company decides to rebrand themselves order to take the global market
They do this by gutting the multilingual service for old AfreecaTV and creating an entirely new website with nothing carrying over since June 12th so this site is up for already Four Months
BUT they didnt do that for the Korean Version site. They just rename the old AfreecaTV site and keep everything intact so creators dont need to start building everything new, followers etc etc lol
so Global had to start fresh from 0
KR just changing name
It is the "East Asia Tri Cup" that was mentioned in the OFFSEASON announcement so this is the other offseason events for CN
a Special 8 China & Pacific Off-Season event called Asia Invitational
8 China and Pacific at Chengdu's Quantum Esports Center, the venue previously held an international PUBGM tournament featuring China, Mongolia and SEA Teams
There's a way: Host in Thailand
but have production team from Indonesian work cross-country
cuz that's what happen with ASC last year, held in Thailand
but didnt hired any Thai Prod. House to work for it.
Thailand is there just to host but they hired someone from another country to do it
That's the reason behind what happens in Day 1
