This GXR event is embarrassing for the Indian esports scene. You'd think if you were organizing a 100K prizepool event you'd be semicompetent but unfortunately that's not the case.
Thread on how they've messed up:
- lack of timeliness. Waiting 1-2 hours between each BO1 is dumb

SCS Valo Casters:
- say player names wrong (

- don't know meta and even agent abilities
- read the killfeed with no energy
- are horribly biased towards established teams

I really wish Valorant casters, especially in India, focus on things other than kills. Like it's a tactical game, someone might be bottom fragging but having the most impact in-game through assists, IGL-ing, or just great utility use. (1/2)

- The organizers apparently didn't pay the power bill so the power was cut but apparently it's cause players wanted a lunch break.
- GXR only invited their own creators. Others came on their own/teams dime.
- lack of marketing, leading to awful turnout.

- fake meet and greets: peddled to the audience but actually behind a paywall. You don't spend 6.7k for a VIP pass, you don't meet the teams they promise you can meet...
- unless of course you ambush them between the hotel and arena cause they can't arrange transport for players.

- no comms team: people who wanted media/press passes got no response.
I could go on and on but this is enough to showcase how GXR have messed up.
I hope that in the future, international teams don't shy away from Indian events because of TOs like this.

Some more:
- horrible scheduling: paper rex had their last game at like 1/2 am on day one, then had the next at 10/11 am the next day.
- Why have group stage best of ones for such teams instead of a double elimination bracket?
- they couldn't even hand the trophies to PRX :(

@RyanCentral_
It's not Russ entirely, it's more that GE have been doing a lot of baiting farming, and people are (understandably) pissed. Also, a lot of people don't understand the experience Russ gained over the last year in Polaris, and how tier 2 EMEA>tier 1 South Asia :/

There's a reason why KDA and even ADR don't tell the whole story. When a caster focuses on just these, they can lose sight of the value of different kills and the narrative of a round. It hurts to see a beautifully complex execute broken down to "OMG JETT GOT A 3K uWu!" (2/2)

I love C9 white but they've been very disrespectful througout. They've been brushing off players during walkouts, and they've been shittalking. I think that it was a huge moment for SR and frustration/elation caused this. Its rude but if you dish it out, get ready to receive.

Depends on the info. If it's exploiting players/staff or directly having an adverse effect on the community ofc it should be brought out. If it's some gossip about some person within that isn't related to the orgs goals, probably not worth it.

I just did the math, I've casted 25 maps in 48 hours for three events.

This is weird man. Like yeah EG aren't the greatest team in the league but they aren't the worst either and while winning and losing is something that the coach contributes to it isn't entirely their domain? Just spewing hate about Potter when there are so many factors is icky.
