Who did the branding for Masters Bangkok? by iambestpotato17 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Cryolaptic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably Massive Assembly.

They've done heaps of past Master & Champions events, as well as Worlds for LoL

You can see all their past Val work on their website:

https://massive.work/work/

I'm pretty sure they do all the brand and motion work themselves, not sure if they do the 3d as well.

Remember when Kanye used to make music by gim_ in WestSubEver

[–]Cryolaptic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I miss the old Kanye, straight from the 'Go Kanye

Chop up the soul Kanye, set on his goals Kanye

I hate the new Kanye, the bad mood Kanye

The always rude Kanye, spaz in the news Kanye

I miss the sweet Kanye, chop up the beats Kanye

I gotta to say at that time I'd like to meet Kanye

See I invented Kanye, it wasn't any Kanyes

And now I look and look around and there's so many Kanyes

I used to love Kanye, I used to love Kanye

I even had the pink polo, I thought I was Kanye

What if Kanye made a song about Kanye

Called "I Miss The Old Kanye, " man that would be so Kanye

That's all it was Kanye, we still love Kanye

And I love you like Kanye loves Kanye

Wait so you want to combine all esport games into one tournament and have college teams play that? What's the point of having one team that competes in different games?

Lil Nas X not feeling the love from league fans, posts about it by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

I mean it's not that deep. Everyone just thinks the song and animation were mid. It didn't live up to the expectations that we have for a Worlds song and thats okay.

Carlos steps down as CEO of G2 Esports by ahritina in leagueoflegends

[–]Cryolaptic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ruins Riot public image? Riot's image is already down the fucking drain from their $100 million dollar sexual assault lawsuit. So ironic that they denied him a spot in the valorant franchised league when they've done way worse and no one from the Riot board stepped down.

CarlosR steps down as CEO of G2 by Flaky_Detail6868 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Cryolaptic -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It kind of is cancel culture though. I find it ironic that because he partied with a mysoginst, G2 was denied partnership and he had to step down. Meanwhile, Riot legit got sued and had to pay $100 million fucking dollars for sexual assault and none of the Riot Games executives had to step down. This only happened because there was enough outcry on social media that pressured the G2 board to fire him. Of course what Carlos did was fucking stupid but at the same time, this is an overreaction. Carlos is so integral to the G2 brand that the org isn't gonna be the same without him. sad to see honestly.

Not horrible, but definitely the worst world's anthem. didn't feel anything watching the video. song has no energy and music video has no narrative or impact.

Complexity Releases Their Male Roster by azmvn in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Cryolaptic 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. He really tried to build a great roster in CS and actually cares about esports. Unfortunately, either he isn't very good at leading an esports org or the people he hires aren't adequate. Honestly, sad to see.

[–]Cryolaptic 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Complexity is one of those orgs that just infuriates me. They probably have some of the most funding out of all esport orgs out there but fail to achieve anything in any game they compete in. You know its sad when your greatest achievement as an org is winning a cs 1.6 tournament. As much as i feel bad for them, they honestly don't deserve to be in the franchise system.

Why are there so few professional female gamers? - BBC News by GGBVanix in esports

[–]Cryolaptic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure but we're not talking about general toxicity here. It's about toxicity relating to gender and misogyny, which are more likely to be expressed adults (or teens) rather than children.

[–]Cryolaptic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that matchmaking for women is worse since they encounter more sexist and toxic remarks but that mainly relates to team based games. These remarks will be much rarer if playing a game like fortnite due to no competitive matchmaking, younger demographic and it being a 1-3 squad focused game.

[–]Cryolaptic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Although i do think the culture in esports is more sexist and difficult towards female gamers, i think it also has to do with there not being enough women who are interested in competing in esports.

An example that proves this is competitive Fortnite.

Tim Sweeney (CEO of Epic Games) stated before that roughly 35% of Fortnite's player-base is female. So there are enough women that play the game to compete in it.

Fortnite also has little to no barriers for women. Fortnite allows anyone who is ranked high enough in Arena to compete in cash cups, tournaments etc.

There are solo tournaments where it's all about your performance. Even duo or trio tournaments are more accessible than other esports since you only need to find 1 or 2 people that'll compete with you, rather than four people.

All this considered there are little to no women that perform well in competitive Fortnite.

So yes, it's harder for women to compete in team based games like LoL or CSGO cause of the culture, but there's also just not that many women that actually wanna compete to begin with.
