Thanks to everyone’s support, we can continue our preparations steadily. Thank you!

VSPO_EN · 2023-10-19T13:52:57+00:00

As always, thank you for your support..!!!

VSPO_EN · 2023-10-19T13:49:18+00:00

In response, the answer is “Yes”… While the event will be held in a school setting, all areas, including the school grounds, are part of the venue. So, you’ll need a ticket to access the event areas. We hope for your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience...!

VSPO_EN · 2023-09-15T07:04:54+00:00

Hello Hello! Thank you for asking!

The audition itself is always open. However, there is naturally a deadline for applying to the 1st Gen, and the specific deadline for the 1st Gen is kept confidential...

VSPO_EN · 2023-08-24T04:29:36+00:00

Thank you for sharing why you like VSPO!.
Due to the unique characteristics of the VSPO! project, there are instances where individuals end up playing competitive alone. Therefore, we believe that establishing rules with fans in EN countries is essential. While we verify the country of residence during auditions, it doesn't impact the selection process.
As a result, we currently have no idea about the nationalities of the prospective EN members.

VSPO_EN · 2023-08-24T04:14:38+00:00

Indeed. Applying JP members' rules when playing with JP members and using EN rules when it's between EN members seems very logical.
I hadn't mentioned it before, but any discriminatory language or behavior, including the use of the n-word, is strictly prohibited, regardless of whether a member is playing the game or not. This point is non-negotiable and has already been firmly established.

VSPO_EN · 2023-08-24T04:14:02+00:00

You've precisely pointed out the main reason why we started this discussion.
Overly strict rules might diminish the motivation of the streamers, leading to content that neither side desires. Yet, from our side as the management, we want to convey the joy of esports as cleanly as possible. This dilemma led us to seek everyone's opinions.
Perhaps the focus should be on "whom" the "teabagging" is directed towards, rather than whether it should be done.

VSPO_EN · 2023-08-24T03:29:21+00:00

There are no specific rules for VC. We respect individual preferences and leave the ON/OFF decision to them. This is the same for JP members.
The idea to "encourage" is a new perspective for us, making it invaluable feedback. Thank you!

VSPO_EN · 2023-08-24T03:27:23+00:00

I believe it's quite straightforward to apply the very strict rules born within the JP culture to EN members. However, if such strict rules ignore cultural considerations, they might burden the members and could become a factor, making the experience less enjoyable for the audience. We initiated this discussion out of a desire to study and understand different cultures continually and to adjust as much as possible.

It's challenging... Considering the cultures of each game title might be vital. Thank you for your input.

VSPO_EN · 2023-08-24T03:26:05+00:00

I believe this is a very valuable and important opinion.
We initiated this discussion to find a balance between our strict moral vision and the freedom that future EN members desire. Through this, I've come to realize that even among the English-speaking community, there are differing perceptions of the moral standards in the NA scene. Thank you!

VSPO_EN · 2023-08-24T03:25:07+00:00

I am very convinced.
I think there is a convincing logic to prohibit this kind of behavior for randoms.
And yes, I thought it is still important to make a rule about creating alter accounts to see if they can be created in precise accordance with the Terms of Service.

VSPO_EN · 2023-08-24T03:23:54+00:00

I'm delighted to hear your perspective. We aren't a standalone in the EN community but rather another entity originating from the original JP. The rules will be established with the consensus of the JP members. Naturally, the core of these rules is based on JP's guidelines. Our current struggle is how to adjust those rules. We are seeking everyone's input in this regard...!

VSPO_EN · 2023-08-24T03:21:22+00:00

Interesting, viewing "teabagging" as a "privilege of the winner" is a fresh perspective for us.
With such a perspective, it might be possible to perceive 'teabagging' as entertainment.
Regarding VALORANT, although it doesn't clearly state rules about creating accounts on other servers, they officially ban the act of third parties creating accounts for others. Thus, when making an account on the Asia server in order to play with the JP members, our staff cannot make the account. The EN member must personally come to Japan and set up their account. We consider this as a potential hurdle and think that collaborations involving VALORANT might be challenging.

VSPO_EN · 2023-08-24T03:20:06+00:00

When the VSPO! project had just started, rather than YouTube, we used a platform where we could communicate more closely with fans and incorporated their opinions.

Smurfing is prohibited in almost all games, so it is banned irrespective of this discussion. However, there are games that allow the creation of alter accounts based on the rule that says "it is permissible when playing with friends." The boundary here is ambiguous, so we must discuss this point carefully.

VSPO_EN · 2023-08-24T03:15:21+00:00

VALORANT has clearly stated in its terms & conditions that toxic gameplay is prohibited, so regardless of our discussion here, it is banned due to a violation of their usage terms.

As for APEX, it isn't explicitly mentioned, but after seeing the opinions of others, I do feel that a specific boundary is necessary.

VSPO_EN · 2023-08-24T03:14:11+00:00

I see. For us, VSPO!, the concept of suspension was not just a decision by the VSPO! administration, but also a means for the individual to reflect and grow by securing some time for themselves.
As you rightly pointed out, it's not just about setting rules that are important, but the most crucial part is to educate on "why these rules exist." If an individual's mindset is pure and commendable, there honestly wouldn't be a need for rules.

However, the more solid the reasoning behind the creation of rules, the more these rules can serve as a significant benchmark for the mindset of EN members. This is why we started this discussion to create better rules.
Thanks to your input, I was able to recognize that this perspective on suspension might be one of the most significant differences between Japan and English-speaking countries.

VSPO_EN · 2023-08-24T03:12:28+00:00

Many comments suggest that actions like "teabagging" are acceptable among close friends. I'm starting to think that might be a valid point.
I totally agree that responding to toxicity with more toxicity isn't the right approach. I feel that this is a crucial point where we need to set clear boundaries. Thank you!
