@BebeAutoChess @Kenobi_TFT what kind of proof would you accept?

@Kenobi_TFT You are 100% welcome, to prove it :D Do you even know what they do?

Okay, I’ve researched enough on this subject to know whats going on Riot Games is WASTING MONEY for NO Reason on Teamfight Tactics, which is EASILY AVOIDABLE, and I’m going to write in the article below. Right now, TFT is well funded, but they’re being very inefficient with its usage and starting to waste. And I think its important to discuss and TALK about this. This Article will be VERY LONG, and VERY BRUTAL. This article is Offensive. I am sorry. It is. But I don’t want Riot to STOP FUNDING TFT. So here we start. #1 What is this article About This article is to discuss whether or not the TFT Balancing Team, is just a complete waste of money, that provides no value whatsoever to the gameplay experience in TFT, And Even worse, since they patch it biasedly towards their own preferences and not based on the Majority*, ruining the gameplay experience causing a lot less players to be interactive with TFT. è The Balancing Team in TFT, if Balancing is all they do, then they are a waste of money. This article will also discuss the money wasted in the Tournament scene in Korea. Majority of Korean Influencers are Youtubers that don’t play TFT, most Casual Korean TFT players, that buy eggs, do not even know there is a tournament due to VERY POOR marketing. The tournaments in Korea, is just a charity, towards game addicts that have an average salary of less than 2,000$ a month, driving for school kids. (Real case Example) It does not make the game more popular whatsoever. è Tournaments in Korea, does not provide any Marketing Value whatsoever, so they are a waste of money. #2 Why are we writing this Article. Because I am very realistic Person. Right now, Business is well for TFT, Good playerbase, a LOT of people buying eggs, decent profit considering we didn’t expect much from it in the first place. And what happens to EVERY empire or individual that gets rich? They get inefficient. There becomes a lot of Unneeded fat stacking, And eventually that starts BLOCKING ARTERIES. These small inefficiencies are going to STACK, and once business goes bad, it won’t look so small anymore. Twitch Ran out of Korea, and I am terrified that Riot Games will stop Funding TFT due to these inefficiencies. Riot games is a BUSINESS, not a Charity owner. And I don’t want be the one PUNISHED for someone else’s mistakes. And I am going to make sure I prevent that here. #3. Credentials For those who don’t know me, My name is Bebe872, from South Korea I have been Rank 1 in All Major Autochess Game Genres such as, and have over 20,000 Hours of gameplay experience, due to my work ethic of 70~90+ Hrs a week. Rank 1 Global Dota Underlords Rank 1 Asia Pacific Hearthstone Battlegrounds (Asia) Rank 1 Korea, North America, Europe West, and Global TFT Season 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 Diamond 1 Season 4 League of Legends Korea Server Legend in Hearthstone Rank 7 Global in Cyphers The University I graduated is Ranked #9, in Business Management within my Country GPA 4.2, with a Full Grade Scholarship for 3 years. Vice School President During High School, ROK NAVY and a Participant of the Somalian Expedition Son of a Economics Professor, who Graduated the Equivalent to Harvard Law School in prestige, in South Korea. I come from a good background, and I am very passionate about games. #4. TFT Balancing Team -> Is it a Waste of Money? A. I do not see any value to the balancing team, if their job is ONLY balancing and nothing else. B. The balancing has been receiving bad feedback for YEARS, not just a day or two. And a lot of people just GAVE UP, because they seem hopeless. C. TFT Balancing does not Cater to SKILLED players NOR Casual Players. Meaning its NEITHER FUN or Competitive. D. The Balance Patches they do are VERY SHORT, and probably something most workers can do on a daily basis. But they do it in two weeks. Meaning that they barely do any work in the first place. And Many more but the MOST IMPORTANT Factor is C. TFT Balancing IS NEITHER FOR SKILLED PLAYERS NOR CASUALS. NOBODY WINS HERE. #5 TFT Balancing is Neither Skilled for Competitive players NOR FUN for Casuals. TFT Fundamentally cannot be a Skill Game nor Competitive. This is because FAIRNESS is a core part of competition, and if TWO PEOPLE start the same game, and are offered different resources not on their abilities but by pure luck, such a game is NOT COMPETITIVE. Even if TFT was Perfectly Balanced in Comp distribution, it still wouldn’t solve the fairness issue, so it can’t EVER CATER to Competitive Players Theoretically. At best it can Balance out comps, to give more Viable strats, to reward Deck Knowledge. That’s it. So making the game FUN should ALWAYS be the priority, But TFT Set 10 took a really WEIRD TURN. They TRIED to make it “more competitive” I think for the Las Vegas event? But they didn’t make it more competitive to ALL players, The feedback Teamfight Tactics got, was from the majority of NA players that are in Master+ Online. And their Major Playstyle is Level 8 into 4 Cost Value. IT HAS BEEN LIKE THAT SINCE SET 3. MAYBE EVEN LONGER. That is their CULTURE, THEIR PERSONAL PREFERENCE, and it may seem like the majority, since the culture there is unified on the subject and are very vocal, but they are a VERY SMALL MARKET of people that does not represent the entirety of TFT. Which is the reason why TFT, has been focusing on Buffing 4 Cost Metas for a LONG TIME, by FORCE when they don’t even have to. In Set 10. Which explains the most recent B-Patch. #6 Casual Players The Next three Opinions have been popular with Casual Players A. I LOVE REROLL DECKS XDD B. I don’t really care about the patch, don’t even read them :D C. I like TFT, because of the various strategies it provides, but I hate forcing something. My Friend, who is a casual player spent over a Thousand Dollars by herself. Just because she wanted the Kaisa Legend. She is a good representation of the Silent Majority, who loves TFT casually as a full time worker. And these are the type of players we NEED TO FOCUS ON, to increase the marketability of TFT. I am seriously Concerned how much TFT Balancing has Deviated away from this route. Okay the Article is Way too long, I want to talk about the money riot is wasting in Korea too, but this is it for now. I want TFT’s Balancing Team to Explain as to why they keep making bad balancing decisions nearly every single patch, in very thorough detail. Because it Affects me. It affects everybody that loves TFT. And wants it to thrive longer. And I am sorry for being Toxic, But I strongly feel this is an issue we NEED TO TALK ABOUT.

@AllenbyHarry That's good to clarify, but it doesn't at all change the parts of your tweet that I find hilarious

@RamboCast She wasnt denied trials. She was given trials and didnt get offered a spot due to not being the right fit, or for her buyout being too high. I posted this prior to slashers clarification of his statement due to not believeing that was the case

My favourite part about this is the direct implication that these teams value this "brotherhood" dynamic so highly they will deny a woman a trial outright, even though that "camaradarie" is apparently so flimsy that it will crumble the moment a woman so much as enters the room

@sullycasts @AllenbyHarry What is "money" about this take to you?

Women have completely different personalities than men. A team is built on camaraderie and ‘brotherhood’. Not saying a girl cant partake in that (see potter w/ eg), but it certainly alters the environment. MeL has the ability to be on a tier1 team for sure, doesn’t mean she deserves to be (nobody deserves anything in life), and I definitely do not think she wants to be on a t1 team just for the fact she is a girl, she wants to earn her spot. Its very disingenuous for these articles to pop up with this head title. No pro will respond bc their answer will be taken out of context if it even slightly differs from this narrative. Sure some pros are sexist, but i dont think the majority are. Classic case of the people whove never taken a sport or game seriously in their life having a Virtue signal fest on a topic the people impacted by it cant speak out about. Open to discussion, not trying to attack anyone here, just offering an opposing view.

@AllenbyHarry @x0tek Everyone is different from each other socially. What specific differences between men and women do you think would justify not giving a woman a tryout for a team?

How is women having different personalities than men bullshit? I didnt once say women were unsuccessful in a team environment either, so I don't see how that has anything to do with this. I simply stated that men and women are different socially and it could be a reason why they arent being given an opportunity to join a team. I am not shaming women,nor am I saying they cant compete at the tier 1 level. The main point is that the people involved in this topic most likely will not respond nor talk about this due to the fact that the moment an opposing view is posted, nobody wants to have a conversation, instead they just attack. People are talking out about sexism, almost demanding "MEL NEEDS TO BE IN A TIER1 TEAM" like she needs their help. She definitely is more than capable of being on a tier 1 team, but clearly there is something more to this than "she is a woman and nobody wants to play with a woman", I just can't believe that, which is why I am offering a potential reason as to why. Maybe I am wrong tho, and maybe slasher will bring the evidence or meL or one of the teams will speak out on it.

@im_b_rad_ttv A take like this is probably best accompanied with some kind of explanation or justification for it

Esports hot take Casters are the least important part of a broadcast and should be paid like it. Admins, observers and production are more essential to a broadcast.

More high school Valorant at the Stride Esports League, and at long last I get to cast with @marks_wong ! Come check it out, these kids are C R A C K E D twitch.tv/stride_esports…

@Boopasaurusrex Check out a YouTube channel called Sarah Z. She has some exceptional video essays about various Fandoms and fandom categories, it's fascinating stuff.

Has someone done a dissertation on toxic fandoms across media? Don't know whats gotten into 2023 but its by far the worst I've seen across all my interests. Everyone just hates everything.

for everyone that’s out of the Challengers circuit, come to collegiate. get that degree, there are so many scholarships out there and already so many great players and a growing scene. your career isn’t over get an education and compete.

@Boopasaurusrex I have lost to krugs like 20 times in this set, I have a chronic 1 cost reroll addiction

How many games has it been since you lost to krugs?

@ZephyrCasts I've done only a few Apex events, just enough that I'm dying to do more. Would love to be considered for this :)

I'm also going to be utilizing this event to give inexperienced talent the opportunity to cast. If you're interested in covering some Apex alongside myself, APPLY BELOW. Who's someone you know can KICK THE SHIT out of an Apex cast, but just hasn't had the opportunity. Tag them!!

I think they finally found Fullerton Bangers only today for the Finals on @nerdstreet

@qpert999 @Kal_ult Good lookin out dude, means a lot to read something like this from a player. Can't wait to cast yall again today, glhf

@Kal_ult They have been great to us , it's just that games yesterday continued into today so TO wanted to give some time off for casters and observers so had to sacrifice streaming one bo3. I prefer them treating casters and observers like proper workers than one bo3 even tho it was crazy

It's so fun playing officials of any kind Last bo3 was absolutely beautiful so sad it wasn't streamed :/

Starting 2023 off with @nerdstreet VALORANT Lockdown at Localhost Fullerton! Joined with me on the mic is @RamboCast First match of the day is JimBois 🆚Evolution Gaming 📺 twitch.tv/nerdstreet

@spaceghost @kendricklamar Not fair to let Kendrick play TFT, someone who never misses? Stands to reason he would always hit

APEX FRIDAYYYYY This team RULES <3

@sierradawnx3 I glanced at this and thought it was about @AshCasts at first

If Ash’s journey ends with him growing up and saying goodbye to his kids as they head out on their Pokémon adventure, I will never emotionally recover

@gompersx Valorizz

I have so much valorant rizz

@TheCallonetta Haven't seen @Giniiiro in the replies yet but she is an honourary North American and an excellent caster and host

hey everyone! - I have a ton of cool esports people on twitter and im on the hunt for CSGO/VALORANT casters- while any suggestions are welcome, I would LOVE if you could suggest women in this thread please reach out to me (my dms are open), comment or tag here! RT's appreciated!

OG CASTING DUO IS BACK, this time with Apex @GamingStadiumCS So excited to cast some bangers on the new map
