I guess since VRS is now officially dead as Valve do not care for it, we can just get back to the partnership leagues.

This is totally wrong btw. The HLTV ranking includes points from events that have not finished - which Valve explicitly stopped.
Who authorised this????
Just so it doesnt look like this went unanswered, we have already discussed this privately. In short, we received authorization to use the rankings from:
hltv.org/valve-ranking/teams…
This is to avoid putting the teams in a difficult situation, given that the tournament starts in less than two days.

Seeing a lot of confusion and comments about our forfeit last night, so hopefully this clears up some of the comments.
The region "Asia" is where we are forced to play, based on our nationalities. The region includes Australia as well as all the Asian countries.
The qualifier for Beijing and others is online. They use only Asian Servers No Australian Servers are in the Server Pool. 80% of Australia live on the east coast (Sydney, Melbourne etc).
The ping from these Eastern Cities to the closest Asia Server (Singapore) is about 110ms. It's 8hrs by plane.
This is why historically we dont play the qualifiers, its very hard to beat Tyloo/Lynn Vision etc on fair conditions, impossible to beat them on 110ms. With VRS on the line, its crazy to accept.
However there is 1 city in Australia where we can play on a reasonable ping (50ms). This is Perth. This is on the other side of Australia. We took flights of 4-6hrs to fly to Perth. Yes we fly 4-6hrs to play an Online Qual (Further than flying LA to Miami or flying London to Moscow) and still get 50ms when we arrive.
We found a venue that has very good internet, both in speed/redundancy/routing.
We were playing the qual from Perth on 50ms. Tyloo had 55ms - so this should of been nearly perfect (50 vs 55) and a great game for the fans to see.
However the physical connection from Perth to Asia breaks.
Flying 7 people, renting the venue and accommodating 7 people isn't free. It will cost us around 15k USD to play an online qual on 50ms.
If we dont pay, we dont play and miss the events. All the other Asia teams can play from Home.
This was our choice, we wanted to give it a go, as i said we usually decline all invites because of the cost/risk.
This ended with us forfeiting the cost, the VRS and the chance to qualify.
It is what it is, maybe we will try again next year!

After my time with 100 Thieves came to an end, I took a couple of months off to reset and figure out what I want for the next chapter of my career.
I learned a lot during my time there, both in and out of the server, and I’m very thankful to everyone behind the team who gave me the opportunity and supported me along the way.
I’ve been a free agent for a while now, and I’m looking forward to finding a new project from here on out and getting back to competing.
For business inquiries, please contact my agent: dv@uncore.gg
RTs appreciated. ❤️

If we recall the last time the players tried to agree on a player break
After yesterday’s defeat, flameZ suggested that the Counter-Strike scene is missing a players’ association
He said:
🗣️“I think what we're missing in CS is a players association. A lot of organizers make events on the player break. It's tough as a player right now because you have an event, to an event, to an event, to an event, maybe like 18 days off, or 17 days off, and then you get back into a very heavy season.
If there was a players association, these kind of things would help a lot and minimize organizers clashing with each other, because the player break almost does not exist.”
Do you agree with flameZ’s point?🤔

These should be real tournament matches not Micky mouse qualifiers in south America. Copa America and World Cup main tournament matches.
Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes has been given a 10-match ban after appearing to grab Spain defender Eric Garcia by the throat and then throwing midfielder Gavi to the ground.
Argentina defender Nahuel Molina has been suspended for seven games after he appeared to strike Spain midfielder Rodri in the stomach as he ran on to the pitch to celebrate his side’s success.
Both Paredes and Molina have also been fined $90,000.
Argentina attacking midfielder Thiago Almada has been given a one-match ban, while team official Roberto Ayala has been suspended for three matches, and the pair have also been fined $30,000 each.

Watching everything we built get so completely mismanaged and end with players left unpaid is so saddening.
As Passion UA crumbles, players and staff are owed significant sums hltv.org/news/45269/as-passi…

In case anyone was wondering what the sound was like during the EWC LCQ. Airhorns, drums, screaming from other CS teams, this event had it all!
