I will say so much more when I get back to a PC but genuinely, as a worker in the esport, as a fan of the esport, as a person just getting to see so many various cool people who actually fuck with me, this very well might be the best experience of my entire life dreams came true

I get NA is going through a great reset and stuff is crazy, but just cos GenG+V1/G2 are so stacked doesnt mean every other NA team has to kneecap themselves - Col? Downgrading - SSG? If it's Jstn or Aris, downgrading - Rumored Dig/M80? Mid Only SR inspires optimism below the top

With the #RLCS major teams locked in for both North America and Europe, I find this quite interesting: For the first time ever at an RLCS LAN, USA won't be the sole most represented country in terms of starting players, as France will match them by sending 8 players to Sweden!

By my reckoning, Crr will be the first ever player to have competed in 3 different RLCS regions. And given the new rules with regions defined by server not geolocation, Crr doing so by physically being in each region may not be matched for a very long time.

The legends @RocketStreet deserve a ton of love for their coverage of MENA & SAM last weekend, providing a central stream for those regions' fans to watch the #RLCS 10+ hour streams, some with just 1 dude talking often in a 2nd language, don't let their good work go unnoticed👏

For comparison, Collegiate RL in NA gets $50,000 per season, most of the players competing arent even GC. OCE RL gets the same amount PER SEASON despite not even a year ago have a top 4 team in the fucking world. NA & EU prize pools are fine, put that Epic money to good use 🙏

For the past few seasons, OCE has received less prize money than the RLRS. NA/EU RLCS receive more than 4x the amount and LAST place in those regions receive more than the OCE Champions. If you want to take our region seriously we need more reward for effort. Help us @RLEsports

The Reciprocity trio of Ferra, Chausette and Fruity becomes only the 2nd EU trio to make 3 consecutive LANs. The other team? Gale Force/Dignitas from seasons 4-6 #RLCS And also the first EU team to top league play without Kaydop on the roster since S3

@ApparentlyJxck No format can account for your world champions getting taken to 5 games by the 16 seed, and then getting reverse swept by the 6rh seed, thus producing weird brackets and matchups

Seeing a lot of replies upset or confused at the caliber of teams being invited for a "bubble tournament" but if Im being honest, this is the way forward The best "bubble tournaments" are actually just proper big events with adequate qualifiers/opportunities for bubble teams 1/?

@DrKzx0 Seikoo's career is three times as long as Zen's rn. Longevity matters, and 1 split of RLCS while incredible, can only go so high, while Seikoo has had 2 successful seasons. With time and him likely staying good, Zen and Radosin will move up very high with their 2 RLCS LAN wins

Nearly 2 year old meme I made on reddit still as relevant as ever. Who woulda thunk the 2nd seed losing to the 9th seed and going 5 games with the 14th seed, among other various upsets, would create weird brackets 😮 (or the fact there are 9 major caliber teams in NA now 🤷)

The entire staff team and all the players at the #RLCS major have put in nearly 2 years of work to make this a reality. Super proud of the team here. 2 whole seasons, multiple format changes, new players, new casters and even new regions, its all led to this. It's showtime :D

$100,000 for 1s jesus fudging christ That's already more than an entire expansion region's RLCS prize pool per split, but then you remember it's only 1 player competing not 3, and well, this prize pool is comparable to an RLCS major... Mad

People who have been RL Esports fans for a long time, here's something to make you think. What are some examples of revisionist history in RLEsports? Things/topics that had an agreed-upon general consensus at the time yet despite no new data, have been redefined by modern fans

taken from the rlcs liquipedia page, whats the point of having a bracket if half the groups cant play each other until the grand finals. Its basically having 2 mini tournaments and making the winners of each play each other, it makes no sense #RLCS
