Thorin's got a banger quote on this situation that I'm surprised he didn't use: If a ruling doesn't go your way, you ultimately need to play the game around it and then figure out how to make sure it doesn't happen again afterwards.
Wow I'm glad Sideshow became a relevant figure in the ESports world. I remember him from TF2, and obviously that competitive scene is too small to support anyone or anything. Wish him the best, was always a great dude.
In 2007 Frost played on my account during my teams Main match in order for us to win to move to Invite. He then bought the team and sold the roster slots away from us. :)
I'm speculating but the Valorant code must be designed to be multi servers. League on the other hand still has a the old intricated monolith. I'm pretty sure it's impossible to match make people dynamically on servers. They may be able to do it in few years if they decide to clean the necessary legacy code.
@@disturbed1734 Europe has 2 servers as well EUW and EUNE. And EUW is way bigger than NA. I was more talking about creating another server within NA without dividing the player base. I have no insight obviously, but i think the issue in NA is a player base issue. They can't create a second server without killing the high level experience.
@@Dankness31 yep, exactly. you heard Rich apologize at the end to Josh bc they spent most of the show hard trashing the scene he's becoming involved in, and were super charged up ab it, and didn't give much room for him to speak a ton. Definitely recommend looking at the Plat Chat Valorant channel if you have any interest in the Valorant scene tho.
It's insane that janitors/shell stackers at the supermarket get their backgrounds checked while 100T just gives a job to a known scammer/con artist. How is this even a thing in 2021?
The problem I have in situations like this is , Because orgs/devs Tend not to disclose REASON for banning / fines , unless reason is already known or it looks absolutely so bad that they are FORCED to disclose what happened. I have trust issues.
Geat to see sideshow on this show and I hope to see him again when the topics are OW/Val or even other general industry issues. Monte is a very good host as usual keeping everyone in check and participating with good questions and big picture ideas. I gotta say Richard has recently become very cool-headed while maintaining his based persona and thats actually fantastic, makes watching him a lot more entertaining and not stressing lol. Thorin is as incendiary as ever, which is usually fine, but it was a bit daft of him to speak like that to Monte and Sideshow when the whole show is about professionalism...
I’m a hardcore ow fan, and while it sucks that RL thinks our fan base sucks (but tbh there are a lot of weirdos in ow) I really love hearing Thorin and RLs takes they really are some of the people in the scene the longest and there takes are real. That being said I love having sideshow in this squad, 3 brits and monte I love it
Everything aside, I think that one thing being ignored is that if frost had only postponed for 15 minutes or less he'd be in the right. The fact that he dragged it on and the statements addressed are inappropriate so he messed up. And he's a prick. But these administrators literally made back to back decisions that fucked over 100t 2 weeks in a row. So they should be called out on their inconsistencies. I'm not even a 100t fan but I think it's bs that they got screwed by ping decisions twice in a row. I think riot should also be reprimanding and working on the inconsistencies along with the probation and fines. Because his complaints are fair. But his reactions are inappropriate
no idea what a lunarcats is but wow, TSM never fails to disappoint. bruh, everyone has bad days. and even beyond that, TSM and a fast food sponsor should embrace that shit. the memes would be worth piles of free cash in marketing. but of course they never let an opportunity go by to make the dumbest decision possible.
from my pleb perspective, until there is an official governing body for each Esports title that's Independent from the developer this shit only going to get worse the more money thats involved.
I understand all the points Richard makes about Valorant but I do think this game has so much potential. I like how the game plays a lot. The way they've balanced the abilities and the pure aiming skill is really good imo. I like the graphic style and I like the overall approach to how they made the maps a lot even though I don't like all the maps. The thing I'm most excited about is that it could be as global as League and have international competitions in one game with a lot of talent from everywhere. Overwatch, Cs Go, COD, Halo have all had certain regions that heavily dominated the competition and some regions that were only marginally relevant or not present at all. I'm sure there will be a lot of challenges but looking at Korea already having a scene, EU and NA being into it I think it's worth the growing pains. If Riot caved to 100 T then I'd say we have a problem but they didn't. I feel like Richard and Thorin are so into CS that they don't even see ir aknowledge the potential upside of this game and only talk about how it's inferior to CS. Having a game where someone could not only prove that they're the best player in their game but the best shooter player in the world. Wouldn't that be hype? I think Valorant has a loymt of good aspects and I personally hope it succeeds as an esport.
I feel like because of the way Nadeshot has conducted himself, and how 100T has represented itself in the league scene a lot of league fans are privy to their bullshit but it seems like the CoD fans and Valorant fans take the brand at face value, and can’t see through all of the fake bullshit and lies.
It’s illegal in main sports in NA for this. Why isn’t it criminal offense for esports doing the same thing teams, players, referees etc have done In main sports. Pete Rose betted on his team and isn’t in the hall of fame and is an all time great. I’m just saying wrong is wrong.
Doesnt Riot have the tech to make all players have X amount of ping? Like make the lowest posible ping be 30ms for example? I belive thats what the casters of LCK said back in 2020. Not sure about this though
ping depends on proximity to servers, I don't know how acquiring/operating servers work but Riot's degree of control would be how many servers they have for a game (and I assume how close those servers are to stage match venues?) Don't know exactly what the casters had said, but Korea has a much less sparsely spread out population and much less land to cover with the reach of servers, and with esports being more established there maybe it's easier for Riot to acquire servers more conveniently located for the LCK? just guessing
@@sleepyyam5391 i think what they mean is force all players onto the same, artificially high, but standardized ping. Yes, ping is dependent on proximity to servers, but if they include an artificial delay with some kind of software solution, like using a VPN which makes unnecessary hops to increase your ping to a certain number, it may make a level playing field so that no one is at a disadvantage.
@@sleepyyam5391 The way it sounded was like they artificially added X amount of ms to a certain team like once a signal is registered a timer starts before the next step can occur on the servers side. That way a team with 10ms could experience 30ms like the opposition. Or I could have misheard something but I'm pretty sure I remember them saying that these matches were played on 30ms ping to preserve competitive integrity.
Steel was banned in CS and then had his unfair ban dog him in OW as well. I don’t see why he wouldn’t be sweating while his coach is freaking out on an admin.
in summary, people side with 100 thieves because they perceive them as the little guy fighting the big corp, one of the most basic human stories, david vs goliath
100t was definitely right to bring uo an argument 8 ping compared to 40 is a huge deal thats why frost contacted the tournament holder to try and get it resolved and it blew up from their I would assume the tournament employee probably said something that fueled the fire it really wasn't even that big of a deal they could have just look at different servers to use so pings are more balanced
Lol they didn't address that in this entire podcast. Was just listening to some grown men acting like babies for the first 20 minutes and had to turn off.
@@bluewolf4371 I thought about it too but the admins were against fnc using the boost iirc and only allowed a remake with the score before the half staying intact but maybe i misunderstood something
Can someone who watches valo answer my questions: Did Brax get kicked cause he was bad or did he leave because t1 was bad? And how can sentinals win with a sub lol is tenz better so much than sinatra to overcome chemistry or what
Brax got kicked because he wasn’t good enough. TenZ was/is considered the best mechanical player. Sentinels said that it was easy to incorporate TenZ because he is a good and smart player, also him and sinatraa had pretty similar roles in the team.
Sentinels were already the #1 team. Tenz plays really similarly to sinatraa so he fit easily and theyre just so much better than everyone else already so they just win
@@yuppie_ow6941 ok they weren't dominating but they were consistently top 2 while other teams were dropping off within weeks of beating them everytime, as seen by envy here who didn't even make finals after smacking them a while back, and prob soon with faze
I usually like this show even when their biased but the bias was too far off lol.. 100 Thieves has a pretty decent following but the age ain't close to ages 14... they can't afford "Supreme" level merch and their content creators don't attract a young fanbase. FaZe on the other hand you can tell they have a young fanbase because of the type of content creators they have and it feels like the org is ran by a bunch of frat boys.
Thoorin is just wrong about how Valorant won't be as big as CSGO. It's already on its way. Regardless of Riots failings they'll fall into success (to big to fail).
Having followed the content of every single one of the four speakers in this show for years, I would never say Richard is insufferable. All of them have their strong and weak points but that ain't it. Rich is a bit hot headed and likes to throw down but honestly, live your life a bit and you'll meet people more aggro than that and for no reason at all unlike Richard. If I were to criticize someone from this video it would be Thorin for the talking bit, and Rich already did. Essentially the qualities you dislike from Rich is what makes him such a good investigative journalist and a defender of the weak, he won't let mischief pass. Shit, looking at the esports scene, he is the closest thing you can find to a (realistic) knight in shining armor
Honestly back when i started watching CS in 2014, I hated him and Thorin, I didnt rly know them or what they did before and they were always just trash talking. Starting with the Ibuypower scandal i started to realize, how beneficial Richard is for the community. He has done so much good for the esports community not just CSGO but even other titles. I also realized that most the trash talk is just banter and its part of the show. thats what makes his videos enjoyable to watch, you never get bored doesnt matter how boring the topic may be. P.S. I like your name and profile picture, i have never seen a fellow once around here.
Richard Lewis, you might not like being banned from platforms like facebook and twitter and that is ok. However, these platforms are not a public service. They don't owe you an account. They can pick and choose who can be a user on their platform and can create arbitrary rules. This is democracy mate and private platforms can do whatever they want.
Yep, and they already do that. Social media was great in the first years, but now it's full of deranged mentally ill cunts, some of them created by this social media era, where nobodies think their feelings have to matter for people that you never met or will have any sort of personal engagement in your life. Look at what cancel culture has became ans how harmful it is to everyone
Everyone gets the argument about private platforms. The discussion though is wether or not and at what point do these companies become so big that they hold a monopoly and free market cannot solve the issue with competition, as the monopolies have the resources to shut down any startup competition. At what point is Twitter more like a public square and not just a private comoany? At what point was Police made a public good and not just security for those who can afford it? Same with fire fighting, electric grid etc. These companies are nearing the GDP of smaller countries around the world. When do we tell them to sit at the big boy table and not beat up everyone around the kids table?
@@Artesin ohh really? You need 5-6 programmers for 6 months and they can create a solid platform. Nothing is stopping you. As a private company, the big companies can't buy you out without you agreeing. There is absolutely no way of twitter stopping you from having your own platform.

Wait what ANOTHER Four Horsemen episode? See you on thursday i guess xD
who would've thought the "irregular" show about issues in esports would become a regular feature :>
doesnt dat speak 2 how much shit is going on in the esport world
Most of us, really...
at this point just call em the 4 baristas down my road coz i see them daily.
can't wait for this one.
Good God the moment where Thorin goes off on Monte for a split a second and then returns to his point is priceless.
If esports could stop fucking up for like 5 minutes.
I remember them saying this would be a monthly episode
This episode is actually the 5 Horseman, Monte, Thorin, Lewis feat. Sideshow and a Nadeshot in the chat
The 4 horseman and the squire sounds about right.
Thorin's got a banger quote on this situation that I'm surprised he didn't use: If a ruling doesn't go your way, you ultimately need to play the game around it and then figure out how to make sure it doesn't happen again afterwards.

@@ickerolig Me too. Shame Valve left it to rot with this bot situation
I don't watch any other games but LoL, but I enjoy this content and all of your takes on what's going on
Sideshow as the 4th Horseman will be interesting. Never seen him interact directly with Thorin and Richard yet
He was in some OverSight episodes when Monte and Thorin were still doing that show.
How is your comment 7 hours old when the video is 4 hours old lol
And sadly he did not interact at all in this without monte asking him to speak.
