I think Riot are shooting themselves in the foot if they don't preemptively allow a few Chinese orgs into the league, but then that leaves less space for SEA teams.

I wish there were more slots

they do this for LoL Worlds. I think they've done it for Valorant before too, but I don't think it was live.

i keep forgetting NA viewership went down from previous events lol

he played well online though! who would you pick to replace him?

:(

Americas currently has the highest viewership I think, since NA is the most viewed region and BR is 3rd (when LOUD is playing).

but if PRX wins I think it's inevitable that the game grows a lot in APAC. Combined with the absolutely unreal Japanese viewership the Asian league might be the most viewed

EMEA feels doomed to be 3rd no matter what. Even with KOI, KC, and G2 playing it's simply not enough.

No JP / BR

Arguably the most popular regions outside NA.

Still the grand finals should hit 800k and a mil if it's a close 3-2.

i think you may need to seek professional help if your sandwiches are speaking

this tournament for sure. Yay actually managed to bounce back.

I still believe that Derke is absolutely the best player in the world, he just stumbled this time.

gutted to not see a peak form Derke vs Yay this masters either.

derke's had a rough tournament. last time I remember him performing as inconsistent as he is right now would be way back around the berlin qualifiers. coincidentally they would've been around the same time now, but last year.

I still have faith in the squad though. They just need to learn to lose, to come back stronger next time.

For the rest of the tournament, I'm going cheer for my favorite region, APAC.

this guy is a fucking monster. his impact is reminiscent of Berlin's nAts.

he's just been having a rough time this event so I sadly lost faith in his ability to win duels when he was 7-10 at round 10. Then he spray transferred 2 on ropes and I never doubted again lmfao

oxygen diff

team that is investing way more than possible while staying sustainable leaves the scene in hope of getting financial stability through franchising, leaves after getting the news they're not in franchsing.

how surprising.

it sucks, but these rosters likely would've never been salaried in the first place if the prospect of franchsing didn't exist.

what did xset do at this event

same

there were 10k people at the event. The 20k number comes from a tweet that goes something along the lines of "20k over 2 days". They filled the stadium's 2nd largest format, there actually is another setup that allows for 10k more people to attend (the one used in professional wrestling matches).

The stadium itself is the largest indoor one in the country.

I love every single match PRX has ever played. They're the only team in the world that makes stomping fun.

KRU vs Sentinels
KRU vs Fnatic
V1 vs Liquid
M3C vs Fnatic

L

what else is it, a sandwich?

I FUCKING LOVE DERKE IM SORRY FOR DOUBTING

STAY MAD COPE HARDER

it's the 1% that does this NPC shit in both communities.

unsurprisingly EU crowd likes EU team

• this game is way closer

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO

HOLY FUCK YOU BALD SEXY MOTHERFUCKER

them being able to speak english fluently helps a lot too!

they had 50% of the vote on the official VCT twitter's poll before the match to win the whole tournament

the franchsing will finally give a lot of SEA players the ability to pursue Valorant as a true job since it will come with high minimum salaries and strict regulation

no more X10 bullshit or people playing on pennies.

he's undeniably a beast

prayge he has a day or two

I want to see the whole squad lift the trophy together if they win.

im so used to using APAC in place of SEA in this game lol

been watching this squad since the Berlin qualifiers, they've really done so much.

+Jinggg is easily top 5 player transfers of all time

PAPER REX in the Grand FInal

W for all of APAC, no for all of Asia

Every single player stepped up in this series!

d4vai has shown the fuck up this event

benkai's util and clutch factor has always been so fucking great and people underrated it for ages now.

Optic got railed 2-0 by EMEA's now knocked out 3rd seed

even worse

delete this post and seek help

i can't count a team like PRX out ever

i wish they just GIGACHAD played Yoru anyways and won

i want him to stay in APAC so the region stays strong but if he wants to go outside he definitely has to get the BAG

Jinggg will have to leave eventually for mandatory military service for a year and uni after that,so Forsaken wants to go to another region when that happens

yeah lmfao

wasn't there another rumour about PRX being paid pretty low? I don't think it's very true since Benkai said he gets paid enough to live well in SG but still.

he kills everyone so it's impossible for him to trade his teammates

if they win this event!?

if the rumors are real and he's going to NA/EU next year how much would a team be paying him considering his talent? I think it's gotta be at the very minimum a mil since he also has a 7-15k stream (which will only grow if they win)

i fucked the title I meant to type "floated" bind

pepelaugh they're going to get FARMED by the forsakenyu

i like balla!

8/8

idk if this is racist, braindead, or all of the above

is it me or is yay a bit of a boring player

like u see it at the end of the game "oh wow yay has 32 kills" but u can never remember them.

can u remember a single yay kill ?

but try mindfreak...u can see the flick i remember a mindfreak flick.
