ROLE ANNOUNCEMENT:
i'm very happy to announce that i will be playing the voice of Carter in the game "Of Hearts and Feathers" by Lucas Immanuel! It's my first time being cast for a game so I was really excited. Thanks to Lucas and Team Azule for giving me the opportunity!
@Cheasle22@splashxo__ people complained that valorant was becoming too much like overwatch, so they started slowly destroying all the fun, creative parts of abilities until now we're at a point where people just walk around for half of a round looking for 1v1's
@SammyOW_ as an ana main i think the thing to do here is just remove the headshot perk entirely or make it only like 1.15 of the damage, not 2x, she's one of the only characters who really doesn't need it and i agree with that. i think if you left everything else alone she'd be fine
@cicazerra@elinkahy i don't understand how the bandwagon is still going, tenz has tweeted out numerous times how people need to leave kyedae tf alone, as well as shutting down the rumor that he donated anything from his own body during her treatments. like how are they not listening to him lmfao
@sinfulcynx@poppieluvtracer as if the enemy team should just ignore the mercy player for the whole game and let her fly around healing and damage boosting people for free 😅
@k1nggbass@neitswft@JustGold3n was gonna say this too, even though the teams aren't as competitive japanese viewership and support is second to none, i think the year that team bundles came out ZETA's bundle was the second most bought in vct pacific or something like that despite ZETA not doing anything at all
@Lily4head@triviasiren honestly i'll be the lesser guy here and blame derke lol, if they wanted to win derke really needed to just step up and play the neon. we obv don't know everything, but the only reason i've seen for him not playing her is that he doesn't like her and that's it. correct me if not
@PlatoonVAL to think you went from being a youtuber to an analyst to head coach to winning your first trophy on one of the biggest stages. you should be proud, man
@Sinofwrathlol@Sheep_VALORANT was the year even that good...? it was certainly better than any year they've ever had but they fumbled hard past santiago
@kwoktusii@Sheep_VALORANT i think from what i heard japan's slots have been decreased by one. meaning CR may be the only japanese representation we see next year
Dear NS RedForce Fans,
This is Evans Oh, CEO of NS Esports.
I officially share that NS RedForce has not been selected for the 2027 VCT Partnership Program.
Since joining @vctpacific in 2025, our team has continued to challenge itself, achieving a runner-up finish in VCT Pacific, third place at EWC, and finally a Masters champion in 2026. Truly a miracle run.
For this partnership application, we submitted a proposal of over 110 slides, outlining our long-term growth strategy, creative marketing plans, expansion opportunities through more than 160 RedForce PC Arenas, and the commitment of our parent company, Nongshim.
Throughout the process, Riot's evaluation team engaged with us in a thoughtful, curious, and constructive manner. We were given every opportunity to present our vision and address their questions.
The selection process was exceptionally thorough and fair. While the outcome was not what we had hoped for, we have no reason to question the integrity of the process or the decision.
And that's why We fully respect @ValorantEsports' decision and congratulate the other Korean teams selected for the partnership. I would also like to publicly thank @RiotJaker and the entire team for their sincere communication and guidance throughout the process.
Our journey will continue in 2027.
We plan to refine our roster, competitive goals, and strengthen our engagement with the global fanbase that has grown significantly this year. We also aim to deliver better content and experiences for our supporters.
We recognize the significant challenges ahead. The extra financial support and advantages in player recruitment available to partner teams will create a meaningful gap
between us.
However, NS RedForce sees the next two years as an opportunity to learn and grow. We will study what makes partner teams successful, continue improving our organization, and maintain our ambition to earn a place in the partnership program.
Finally, I want to express my deepest gratitude to our players and coaches and entire NS esports office staff, who worked tirelessly to bring us this far.
As CEO, I take the greatest responsibility for this outcome. I believe I could have done more to build NS RedForce into a stronger global brand with a broader network and influence. For my shortcomings, I sincerely apologize.
Nevertheless, we need the continued support and love of our fans more than ever as we strive to become a world-class team and continue our pursuit of VCT partnership.
Let's make it together @nsr_valorant!
Sincerely,
Evans Oh.
