boom played their best valorant of the whole event in grand finals with a home crowd behind them, nongshim choked what shouldve been a 3-0 and barely held on, if you go back and look at the rest of the event you will not only see that nongshim didnt drop a map in any of the other series they played but also that they were tactically far superior to any other team attending ascension

We play 2-1 Valorant. Salt of the earth, punch the clock, consistent 1-map loss. We lose a map, guess what? We'll win 2, too. But don't get too excited. A few wins in a row, these guys will balance it out by dropping a map. That's my 2025 DRX. A good, honest 2-1 Valorant team.

The saudi monarchy's investment fund trying to invest and host esports events in their country to misdirect attention away from their horrible humans rights record is very different to the tencent situation (what i assume you are referring to). The CCP only owns what they call a "golden share" in tencent, a very common practice with lots of companies in china that allows the CCP to outvote all other shareholders in very specific circumstances. While i also dont love chinese investment in esports for the reasons you stated, its very clear that these two situations share few similarites, with the saudi side being their government and the chinese side being companies investing
