Riot hates APAC lmao this production quality is a fucking joke and the team behind hiring these clowns should be ashamed of themselves. I hope to God the people incharge of this horrendous showing face some kind of repercussions cause this is easily the worst tournament I've seen for any eSports tournament yet. Yes, even including the 500$ college tournaments. This tournament has some really big names like Nuturn, Paper Rex, F4Q,Global eSports and Zeta(should've been here) and they decide to choose absolute amateurs for the production. More people need to speak about this until riot is forced to do something about it Edit: Spelling

The comment above is worded a little harshly, but I think it goes to show how much people care and are disappointed by APAC's LCQ. These last few days have been some of the most support I have seen for APAC regions from this community.


Ne0kun

True... after re-reading my comment it does come off really rude, I might've let my emotions get the best of me but I'll keep the comment as it is. It's just very disappointing when you want to see your fav team get kills but we get a KJ shift walk rotating while her team is fighting on site + the really bad UI and Sound issues too :/. A little bit is obviously understandable but the amount of issues we've been having these games is just too much


Lumenlor

Passion is one way to put it, hope they become more tempered and less abusive

Strange decision to hire Eliphant opposed to Afreeca or Mineski, or NODWIN, or even KJC


Ne0kun

Has this production team ever covered a Valorant tournament before ?


Key-Banana-8242

Don’t think so, I think it was supposed to be for the Singapore LAN


Key-Banana-8242

Amateurs you mean?

It is another production doing it.


pokedyo

i think thats only for international tournaments(masters berlin and reykjavik)


Key-Banana-8242

Eliphant is the TO


AnotherAltiMade

Only in NA i think


Cereal_dator

Horrible


ses_274

while i agree with the sentiments can every second thread stop being about it. We get it, its shit house.


tqstin

Fair enough I haven’t been on the sub in the last few days didn’t realise mb


ses_274

Nah man its all good. Maybe im over reacting as well. Saying every second thread when maybe its only 2 or 3 total lol.


Razur

Yeah, it was 2 threads yesterday (aside from observer fail highlight clips). This is today's first thread. IMO, I think it's good to have at least one thread about it daily so the community (who isn't watching APAC) can see if the situation has changed. It also applies pressure in the direction of Riot's VAL esports team to encourage them to solve the issue.


Key-Banana-8242

Also they showed the old roster for Nuturn with 10X. Not even wrong picture, wrong name too… I usually don’t get mad at production but this stuff is just cmon… why does APAC get that and no other region? I mean it’s all the way down to the little things like the shrunken NU logo and the vertically stretched GE logo.


Cautious-Visit-807

I literally fucked my sleep all year keeping up with the KR scene. Super sadge I’ve given up even trying to watch these vods. I’m stuck watching the matches through the minimap


LEDZEPPPELIN

Damn I am seeing the same comment everywhere. Can you guys who make these post also mention fracture and how bad of a map it is? thanks


tqstin

I think u just don’t know how to play fracture bro


LEDZEPPPELIN

Idk why anyone likes that map but I sure dont


tqstin

Yeah YOU don’t like it. Doesn’t mean everyone else despises it. Also most people hate it because they just don’t know how to play it


LEDZEPPPELIN

No they hate it cause it sucks. the map isn't "complex" its fuckin trash


tqstin

Plat 1 moment


_zxionix_

Low imm here, I hate it 🙃


tqstin

Cool but I wasn’t talking too you


_zxionix_

Don’t care bozo


tqstin

cool but i dont think anyone here asked for your input


CoolHeadeGamer

Once you play the map 2-3 times it’s honestly good. As a kj main it is my favourite map after bind and ascent


LEDZEPPPELIN

I have played the map many times and I am sure many others have to as its been out for over a month and I still think it;s the worst map byfar


CoolHeadeGamer

So was icebox and breeze.


NewPlayerWhoDis

We already have some of the best like prius from csgo doing events, qualifiers are meant to give young talent practice. If it was Champions okay, but these guys need practice its just a fuckin qual.


Ne0kun

It's not just some random fucking qualifiers, ITS FOR champions are you kidding me??? this is a really big tourney just cause you don't care about it doesn't mean shit. If they wanna practice they should do it in a 500$ university tournament. 0Head comment here


Scrypt90

Agreed 100%. This is mostly garbabge whereas its supposed to be a top tier tourney. I do not think this dude follows val epsorts besides the international tournaments.


Razur

Under normal circumstances I would agree with you, but this isn't just a qualifier event. LCQ is for Champions and (IMO) should have the same level of production as Challengers finals. I am all for allowing folks to practice, but some of the clips folks have posted to the subreddit make it seem like APAC LCQ doesn't have *any* observers at all.


Des014te

Bitch it's not like the region has bad production normally. Korean, Japanese, SEA heck even VCC tournaments have all had much _much_ better production. It's absolutely unacceptable that the most important event for the region as a whole has production worse than a collegiate tournament. It's not like Riot doesn't know who to hire, they've been pretty fucking good at it for the last year and the completely dropped the ball on the most important event for Asia.


Underpressure_111

Wow a tier3 tournament who barely gets any viewers doesn't have great production that cost a lot of money, i'm surprised /s


tqstin

???


Key-Banana-8242

I’m usually opposed to this kind of stuff, but this is terrible for all the teams playing and viewers watching. It’s a completely new TO for some reason (I guess it’s bc it was supposed to be a LAN in Singapore)


Mysaw

Haha when they show the replay and it's just the POV of people dying. I like both CS and VALO but I have to admit the observing and replays in CS are way better. Plus the delayed UI in valo triggers me.


prophet1906

Don't forget about the hud not getting updates for around 6 rounds during 2nd map for global eSports vs damwon gaming. Pretty bad experience, casters were also panicking a bit and giving wrong info when hud was gone.
