Kinda want PRX to win Masters so we can get all players across every region arguing with their IGLs + Coaches about how they should run double Duelist instead of playing double Initiator because they saw f0rsaken and Jinggg press W in LAN. #VCT.

No Astra, no dog/heal from Skye, no knife from KAYO, no Chamber slow + op. Latest agent on the list is Killjoy (Aug 4, 2020). Imagine thinking a comp that's practically 80% BASE AGENTS FROM RELEASE is a 'cringe comp'. Can't anti-strat a comp from Ignition Series? XDDDD. #VCT

I love how APAC twitter is just so fucking tired of being underestimated all the time that when we finally win and the victory is undermined, everyone just goes full blast on the timeline. I fucking love how talented, dedicated, and passionate my region is. #VCT.

Unpopular opinion: I think players should be allowed to talk their shit (tbag, bm by shooting bodies, cam faces/middle fingers, twitter beef, "ggez", etc.) and orgs/fans/community shouldn't reprimand them for it. AS LONG AS it stays in the server. Trashtalk is banter. #VCT.

@mordred_dll People acting as if this shit wasn't a top-tier fight/action scene. Done with little to no effects. Smooth animation + good choreography + fitting OST. Agree with your take 100%. There's more to fight scenes than flashy lights and special fx.

1 slot APAC.2 slots NA. how many countries are in NA vs. how many countries are in APAC again?. 🤔. you'd think they'd have learned from last year (and this year) that APAC is a Top 4 region with multiple countries competing and investing. 2 slots APAC, that's all I'm asking.

Fans nowadays are so delusional. All 3 leagues are more competitive this year and it's been so fun to watch every game. GE played 3 Bo3s and didn't even finish last but with the fan sentiment you would think they just went 0-11 in regular season or 0-13 since 2022. So insane.

@SidXD7725 His point was GE should spend resources developing Tier2 Indian talent. I shared 3 orgs that were never deeply involved in developing Tier2 talent (but were involved in developing players they had AND scouting them). I think YOU didn't understand what he or I was saying.

@nemory_0o This is a stupid take. So you're saying it's fine for GE if they were winning? That is just such piss-poor results-based analysis. Also irrelevant to the original post because it was only arguing in the context of "develop Indian Tier 2 talent" and not whether or not they win.

@Sanchovies @IWDominateLoL I think it's more for the fact that the org decided to use it as a form of content. Yes, orgs can be strict and cutthroat when it comes to making roster decisions, but don't use it as a form of "entertainment" to gain views because that's just disrespectful to the players.

Across a multitude of esports, we've proven that time and time again, APAC is just as talented (and in some, even better than) most major regions out there. Our biggest weakness is infrastructure and resources. Yet, we're still always able to 'make more with less'.

@PomuRainpuff It's an enchantment level. If you enchant your GMT with special stones, they get +1 added to them. It gives more stats once enchanted. I think you can enchant till +13 but from +10 onwards there's a chance it'll break. Hope my answer was helpful Pomu.

@RossyUA Before I say this, I just want to say that I'm a fan of yours just to prevent any animosity. With that said, you can give the enemy team credit without shitting on your own players. It doesn't necessarily have to be one or the other. It could be something like:

I don't know how many times I have to say this but for any org owners or people looking to expand their business:. Esports is a money sink. This has been proven to be true over decades and decades in the scene. So please STOP LOOKING FOR TEAMS AS A MEANS TO EARN MONEY.

The open qualifiers for the final stage of #VCT 2022 starts today in PH. There are over 151 teams signed up for Week 1 but only 16 will make it to next week. Most of these teams or players, not many fans know or care about to know. So, this weekend, give them a reason to.

League of Legends, Dota2, PUBG (PC + Mobile), Hearthstone, Wildrift, CSGO, and now VALORANT. There're probably a bunch more that I missed out there, but APAC has always been a breeding ground for talent. Just waiting for a dozen more international orgs to recognize this fact.

@nemory_0o How the fuck are org owners supposed to magically find out they would lose their matches before their players played?. Should these teams just instantly throw in the towel and assume they're going to get shit on for the first 2 years?. Partner teams invest on being able to win.

As a coach, Gambit are SO SCARY to face man. It just feels like when this team loses rounds, they easily come analyze what happened, when exactly did they lose, why did they lose, and what they'll do after. Like a robot that reads each input on the server. #VALORANTMasters.

Wait, can someone explain what happened to the alarmbot here?. How is it not reacting to the Viper literally sitting on top of it. It's not asleep. The only thing I can think of is the old alarmbot bug where it gets disabled if an 'item' is directly on top of it (accidentally).

If it backfires, then players should be allowed to own up to it and face the consequences of their own actions. If it riles you up and you perform better, then clapback after. At the end of the day, it's all part of the sport and entertainment. None of it should be personal.

Seeing a lot of Chamber being played in NA and a bit on SEA lately but I feel like people don't really understand the agent's kit aside from knowing his 'gimmick' that he can 'op'. You don't play Chamber as a replacement for Jett. You still need your 'space-creating' duelists.

Let's not forget the cadiaN and glaive/Astralis online beef in CS and the fact that dapr and SEN themselves were pretty notorious for tbagging/bm'ing. If you get offended or have problems with trashtalk, then prove it on the server. Win and shut them up. Win and talk your shit.

Would anyone care to read at all if I explained why the "9-3 curse" exists?. I've said it months ago in private talks but the 9-3 and 10-2 scorelines in VALORANT are the MOST MISLEADING scorelines, similar to the 11-4 scoreline in CS. It's a logical but pr long explanation tho.

I just realized how insane the storyline is. Both teams started from the Open Qualifiers in Stage 2. Now both of them will represent PH in APAC. What a run especially from RRQ. From missing out on Stage 1 to playing in the opens against 100+ teams to Group Stage to APAC. #VCT

In light of an increase in double Controller play across a variety of VCT + VCL regions, I propose that we take it a step further and make the new meta be triple Controller with Viper + Astra + Harbor. The main goal is to crash your opponent's PCs during live matches.
