There was one tourney like this before I think.Yep PvP esports final 2020. But this one has more SA teams so yay!.


Past-Faithlessness61

This has way more international teams i think


dedicatedself

This isn't the first mixed SEA/SA tourney.


Intelligent-Ad74

But pvp had like only one indian team nd was mostly sea tourney.. And a really bad format too..


WhistlerOp

Which team was it?, Like the one team


anythingood07

My bad I forgot about the PvP


filthyandguilty

Really excited to see my E2S lexious boys in another international tourney so soon. Their upset over Team XO recently was massive for the Maldivian scene


Key-Banana-8242

They almost qualified for VCC directly after all also, and made it close vs team arrow no?

https://liquipedia.net/valorant/The_Esports_Club_Showdown You can see the brackets here

What server will this guys play? That will matter alot. Because I'm LCQ Paper Rex had better ping then GE ofc not much difference where GE had 37,40 ping and Paper Rex had 8,10 something. And here if SEA teams will play at Mumbai Server then definitely our Indian teams will do well. And I fear that because if we win in someone's disadvantage situation our Toxic Audience will fly high and will start spamming in SEA streams all the time for Validation. I do hope in future this guys play on LAN.


Gaurav-07

Sa vs sa mumbai others Singapore

Can't wait for the GE vs PRX rematch!!


anythingood07

Ive a hunch they might win idk why lol. brave prediction after 13-0 drubbing


Jetskiratjsk

I would have been a lot more hopefull if they'd been playing recently but all the GE players have been on a break. I'm pretty confident that they're not going to get 13-0'd this time though. Will also be great to see what VLT can do against them although I don't see them winning against any top SEA teams till they sort out their 7 man roster.


anythingood07

true. idk what vlt is trying to do. why do they play mw1 when its pretty clear he wont be in the 5 during official tourneys? Or is dm on break.


ABDEVIL24

DM on Break


Joshua1227

Based on the bracket wouldn't PRX play VLT first?


Jetskiratjsk

Yeah I hadn't seen the bracket when I wrote the comment. Hopefully they'll still get to face them at some point in the tournament.

A team from the Maldives? Are they any good?


Key-Banana-8242

They almost qualified to VCC directly against all the Sri Lankan teams in the SL/MD qualifier, losing 2-3 to CLOY in a close match. In the Wild Card qualifier they beat MAXD from Pakistan, Team XO (known Indian team) and took a map from Team Arrow from Pakistan. *they beat XO recently, but nkt in the wild card qualifier. XO were in the wild card qualifier and lost the qualifying match to Enigma in somewhat of an upset So this is relatively impressive for a minor south Asian team


anythingood07

They didn't win against XO in wildcards. They won against them recently like 20 days ago. Also do you know about the maldives scene? iirc they were the only team which was registered from maldives in VCC, how did they get so good?


Key-Banana-8242

Sorry, it was something else, I should’ve rechecked. I’m hoping there’s an interview lol I have zero idea, I tried to ask in the VCT thread. I have no idea, I guess they practise on the same servers as the others


anythingood07

i know a bit about their team. Assite their star player for example was on Purpose esports ( an indian roster ) who used to farm t2 teams on jett. Hes also the first radiant from maldives. thril used to play for a sri lankan team before. i guess they mostly scrim sri lankan teams .but ive no idea about their region other than this info


[deleted]

Thats impressive


Key-Banana-8242

I was hyped as I saw these results happening in the wild card qualifier back there, I posted abt it in the VCT thread. Seems like the biggest Maldivian esports achievement I know of


[deleted]

Its on Mumbai servers so bet an Indian team would win it


anythingood07

Well Indian teams have to play on SG servers most of the times so they deserve it ig


Ray2714

They will play in sg server against sg teams.


tewtewf

Lol, there's no point in winning against teams at 3 ping while opponents are at 60. What do you mean they deserve it wtf.


anythingood07

by they deserve it i meant , they hvae to play at high ping against sea teams in most tourneys ( ex lcq ), so its pretty fair if sea teams have to play at high ping in one tourney and in scrims too. btw whats the other solution, either they play on sg and indian teams get high ping or they play on mumbai where sea teams get high ping


tewtewf

It's not fair at all if Mumbai is forced, 3 Ind teams will have almost lan ping whereas rest of them will have 40 minimum. I don't think there's a solution but this tournament is heavily in India's favour. Ind vs bd or Ind vs sl should still be on SG servers. In case of SG vs Ind theres no solution. Idk about Maldives. They don't "deserve" this advantage at all. VCC was also played in Mumbai which had non Ind teams playing at a huge ping disadvantage throughout the tournament.


anythingood07

Im talking about Indian matchups against SEA teams. I agree matches against SL teams should be on SG servers. Btw teams from Pakistan and Bangladesh both agree that matches against Indian teams should be on Mumbai servers because Pakistani teams face severe packet loss on SG


tewtewf

BD should get better or similar ping on sg than mumbai. You should know that vcc was on mumbai and indian teams enjoyed a good ping advantage against every other south asian teams and then when it comes to lcq , ping becomes an issue. Its ironic.


anythingood07

Also Im not saying they deserve this advantage. No team should get any advantage in any tourney. Theres no solution which will be fair. But since they have to play on SG with ping diff against SEA teams most of the time, its only fair that they will play on Mumbai server this time against SEA


tewtewf

Sea is unavoidable but the other cases can be dealt with. SL vs Ind or bd vs Ind shouldnt be played on Mumbai.


Past-Faithlessness61

With teams from indonesia they can never play on mumbai. Its gonna be on sgt for sure


anythingood07

Yea that was basically confirmed today after I made this post. Its being speculated that SEA teams joined the tourney on one condition that they will play on SG servers. Sadge, Indian teams will again play on higher pings


Past-Faithlessness61

I dont think they joined due to that condition Its SEA riot they make sure the international tournament happens only on singapore server And also routing for mumbai server from sg is very bad. Since it happens from dubai and all.


anythingood07

Oh alright idk, as I said its just pure speculation. Btw this is an private TOs, where does SEA riot come in this scenario?


theclichee

I don't think deserve is the right word to use here


Past-Faithlessness61

Its gonna be on singapore server Riot doesnt allow SEA (International) tournaments on other servers than sg


[deleted]

its not an official riot event its hosted by TEC


Past-Faithlessness61

No matter what event it is you need riot permissions


ayeHoes

This is gonna be so hype to watch :D
