Because so far JAPAN players and their fan base has been the most peaceful region showing the most respect and not starting drama every 10mintues on twitter.

They won't be able to leave the hotel without being beaten or booed to the stalk
They won't be able to play Solo Q in BR without being insulted and the team itself giving it to them to lose.
Good luck to them."

"the guys won't even leave the hotel"

"if they pass the airport"

Theres much more.

Now that the VK vs Acend is settled. lets all put everything negative behind and look forward as a community. full mental reset for everyone and enjoy the rest of the tournament.

c9 leaf would like a word with you xD

Here we go guys. ACEND will start of the match 7-0 KEKW

for the sake of VK i really hope they win again or the stuff on twitter is gonna be unreal.

G2 literally flew a plane carrying the words "F**K SENTINELS" and everyone in the scene laugh about it. now imagine G2 did it to a BR team LOL. BR fans are too soft and can't take any banter.

the call was fair. But the match should have been paused the moment that cam was used. saying that it "was not notice" is a complete joke when 2 teams has been punished in the past.

and also they had months to fix that glitch spot but were too lazy to.

absolute clowns running the VALORANT side of RIOT. killing their competitive scene speedrun any%

Good luck VK.

oh well.. its gg for RIOT.

nope. nothing. its like they completely forgotten what happend to GIANTS and X10. What a joke.

Exactly why right now its hard for me to take these matches seriously.

and yet RIOT did nothing when they saw the cam being used. no pauses, no nothing. just let it happen and hope people forgotten. How do they expect people to take VALORANT esports seriously??

glitched out cypher cams are 100x worse then a dumb jett jump but RIOT is choosing to completely ignore it. lmfao i can't take this tournament seriously anymore.

complete joke riot can't take a hour or 2 off their day to fix that exploit which is literally a texture glitch. Since the GIANTS match its been months. RIOT is a joke now

How hard is it to fix the texture on that surface or just completely remove that particular roof???? I am so confused how this is still a thing since the GIANTS match.

100% exactly the same. Maybe an NA team can get him instead.

agreed 100%. this is all on RIOT's incompetence in maintaining esports integrity. So many exploits not fixed for a long time. What a joke

That "illigal" cypher cam spot has been around for months and still not fixed, giving players something to argue about in your biggest tournament of the year.
That spot should have been fixed right after the punishment given to Giants but no, just letting it be and hope teams don't abuse it in pro play.
What a joke Riot. Enjoy the shitstorm that is about to come your way.

VK deserves this win 100%. i'm just so disappointed in RIOT's handling of competitive integrity. It's hard to take this tournament seriously.

adding CNED to another big team like G2 is the equivalent of TENZ joining Sentinels.

How ACEND is able throw unlosable rounds is beyond me.

Some big orgs please save this guy. These trolls on Acend do not deserve him. Please CNED get a new team for a better future!!! maybe G2 can buy him over.

hopefully we have a BR team in playoffs now. VK deserves it

Sacy is so cute! lmaoo

i guess he plays from the hotel practice rooms?

so its THAI>SG>??>??>??>??>??>India

Is this just factual? for now? Both Singaporean team in finals of Esports club showdown.
PRX just seem really strong and only that worthy of the global stage.

VS Rb is already radiant POG

tenz was streaming in Berlin getting consistant 140+fps. these pros are spoiled

tenz said its an improvement. maybe ENVY got the old ones lmao

who??

look at shazam/tenz insta stories. they even have gaming tables this time from secret lab. ggs

did u see the prac room? its lit af. gaming chairs and even gaming tables lmao

yeah VALORANT esports is literally 1 year old. yall gotta chill lmfao

"High speed wifi, great coffee machine, clean blankets, heater actually heats and a bum gun. I’m so happy"

lets go X10! lets go Pati!

George about to make a post on it if he is awake. im sure he got the info as well

YALL AIN'T READY BOYS! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I've inside sources and from the things i've heard, fans will be really really happy and mind blown at the production value of the event. 10 MORE DAYS!
1 trillion dollar production !!!

This post perfectly explains the NA weight problems. The food shown in that tweet is a balanced healthy breakfast.

??? that could literally be anybody.

I feel like this is a hotel thing and riot staffs there can't really control it.

SKROSSI live up to hes hype this LCQ except for that one game vs PRX. every other game SKROSSI was top fragging and clutching in all ways.

another onliner that cant perform in LAN?

lucky? coming in 2nd in iceland after an early drop to lower bracket is not luck

having all these upsets just makes everything more interesting. Rather then having predictable results. Everyone who were highly expected to perform well on LAN did perform well. TENZ,CNED,SCREAM,FORSAKEN,NATS etc etc.

or would you rather have SENTINELS win everything for the rest of time?? Boring.

HAH! SKROSSI just proved to the world this list is factual.

and that is why RIOT made the right decision to use LAN servers. now the teams still can play in the hotel room. if it was LAN servers they can't even play the match.

yes while DW was on 80 ping. and saying top 5 in korea is not an argument since you always see the same few KR teams playing lmfao

More like VS only good team in KR that can match up on global scale.

Being the best region in Overwatch. how will that translate once the pros enter Valorant?
