Arguably the best episode yet. Having Leo clarify things was great and I’m super impressed with the questions and concerns you guys had prepared. Especially covering tier 2 and South American scrim scene. Well done Platchat!
Leo’s answers were great. I wanted more matches but then he kinda reminded me I don’t. I got match fatigue with cdl and owl, and only watched elimination matches.
Plat Chat Demonetizing Moment of the Stream Timer (Episode 166): 36:08 *SUCCESS* Record for 2024: 2-5 (.286) Culprit - Leo Faria (successes will NOT be included on the leaderboard) Leaderboard: 1. Balla (1) 2. Bren (1) 3. Kurt (1) 4. mCe (1) 5. Sideshow (1)
On a side note, if the Leo interview wasn’t a part of today’s podcast and we got Mimi & the guys to start, they would’ve lasted a solid 1:54 and *failed* today 1:08:29
in fairness, thats kinda his job? like the dev teams job isn't communication with the wider community, that's what a community support teams job is. They pass it along to the dev team and vice versa.
@@miffedmeff7302bacause like the first guy said those aren't their jobs to speak out about anything, it's why even Leo goes on a moment of stall trying to watch what he says cause he might get in trouble. Now imagine if a dev that doesn't have the PR job speak out about anything
"Yeah because that's their f***ing job." is the perfect summary of esports. Bravo, Leo! Chet and all those guys complaining about every small inconvenience, sheesh.
You've got to love Leo Faria, who is so transparent and thoughtful for the community. While, yes, there are certain things that need to be improved upon, seeing people calling him incompetent over those points, overlooking everything he's done for Valorant is mind-boggling.
Leo Faria made a great point especially when we think abt social media, I forgot that there were plenty of matches that I skipped because I grew bored, It can definitely be spaced out better which will happen with time, however more importantly the point he made about the social media echo chambers, some pros complained and because they complained surely some of their fans complained too regardless of their actual opinion, then when one fan complains their friends will complain etc etc. The hate that riot gets for a lot of their decisions are deserved as long as its from certain parties, like if pro players and friends and families of the guard players got upset then rightfully so, but in a matter of a few days shit blew up to where people were willing to die on this the guard hill ignoring any pre existing reasoning, the same fans probably never watched a guard game and tried to justify it by saying its about the principle, at its simplest, dont mindlessly regurgitate what you consume.
And this is exactly why any semblance of critical thinking is necessary Valorant is filled with 15 year old idiots so just don't take Twitter opinions as truth. Also Chet is just a salty baby, he complains about everything so don't even take his opinions seriously
2:21:00 i get waht mimi is saying here because while jinggg is arguably the best performing play of last year, his role on PRX is quite replaceable because they have something and f0rsakeN who are also top tier entry duelists and its not going to effect their core playstyle as a team and won't really shift the roles or the jobs of the players on prx. LOUD without aspas though is a more shaky change because aspas was THE entry for Loud and theyre now shifting their teams roles because they dropped him (also losing frod doesnt help)
The only tragic thing of all is that what could have been a potential finals for americas kickoff has to be the first match between two of the best teams
Props to Leo for coming on and giving real answers to tough questions. You can see that he's frustrated in the same way we're frustrated with how things happen and have to have to happen in eSports, it cant be perfect but their trying to make it better year on year.
DFM picking up crazy racoon is a sentinels picking up shroud strat. they're very popular in Japan, they're building a brand. maybe they'll try to have a better team in the future? who knows? but I bet their skin sales go crazy
This is so unrelated but with the gear Leo has in the room, I’d be so interested to know if he makes music, has anything public, has anything like that to show
Honestly Leo is a very good person to be the head of Esports because he knows whats the community wants but he also realises what they actually need and stands for it but is still ready to take criticism where its deserved
I feel they slept on G2 in the tier list. Its all the players originally from the guard. Back in 2022 the guard was a tier 1 team who looked amazing going into Masters. But then bombed so hard purely because of lack of experience playing at such a high level at an international tournament. Most the players were just getting out of school during that time. Now after climbing out of challengers, and winning your ascension to tier 1 spot, then right after being let go from the team you have been on from the beginning. I feel G2 has such a strong story and have shown constant growth. The latest edition of Leaf from C9 is massive.
Leo is very well spoken and provided some really good answers to tough questions, props to him for getting grilled for an entire hour lol. The point about the amount of matches and scheduling was really insightful
I’m an audio listener and VOD watcher. Whenever I hear something that I KNOW Kurt pulled up I just pull out my phone and rewind or something. Keep us audio listeners in the loop!
Kurt I beg of you either never name the tiers again or enforce that they actually rank the teams according to the tier names. This was a painful experience
It was Sideshow's idea to name them right before we went live. I thought it was good to add some spice to the tier list... HOWEVER, when they started to abide by the names completely you can hear me progressively freak out more and more in the background. I'm getting mad again typing this. Absolute trolling masterclass
@@truktruk I couldnt bring myself to finish watching the segment but I made it to the part where you tried to restore order... a valiant but futile effort lol
Imagine an A-tier team and C-tier team face of in Masters Madrid final; with the A-tier team having beaten 4/5 World Beaters and the C-tier team having beaten 2/5 World Beaters, they both go on to put on one of the best Bo5 finals with the A-tier team winning. While 3 of the world beaters don't even qualify for the tournament and the other 2 go out in the Semi-finals and Finals lower bracket of Masters... That would be crazy... So, so crazy....
I'm a zeta fan and I'm glad that zeta is so highly rated, but it lost to navi by a pretty big margin and even though it didn't have dep, it also lost to c9, so i think it's okay to be at a slightly lower tier. Hiroron and Yuran are still young, so I look forward to their future growth.
There actually isnt really much Americas bias. They have more confidence in the top of Amer vs the other regions, but there are only 4 Amer teams in he top 3 (International Events) tiers, same as EMEA and China, with Pacific having 5 because its harder to determine whos gonna go to the IEs. And if you look at the bottom, there are 14 teams in the bottom 2 (minimum matches played) tiers, and i believe Sideshow mentioned 12 teams would be playing only 12 matches this year, so thats also in line, with 2 of those teams obviously getting at least one win, but theyre not sure which. As confusing as this tier list was at times, i think this was actually a pretty good way of doing it as it mathematically works out with their tier names, its just about how accurate their opinions are :P
Genuinely enjoyed the show as always, but i especially enjoyed the interview with Leo. You guys didnt shy away from the tough questions and he answered in a way that humanized the riot corporate machine. That being said, as a fan, i would like to see more than 12 games minimum. I want to watch the qualification/championship/elimination matches AND my team/favorite players. With a full calendar year available I feel like theres got to be a viable way to get that number closer to 20-24 without creating veiwer fatigue. W episode and I hope Riot utilizes plat chat and other podcasts/video series as a means to be more transparent with the community in the future. Thanks Guys!
I think that Ascension skins could commercialize well if you make some skins for all the teams playing in Ascension but then have those skins completely removed from the market once the teams aren't in Ascension anymore, that way you'll end up with a lot of skins that could become extremely rare kind of like the Champions ones that you can never buy again, that's a huge incentive to buy because of the potential rarity and can become a great source of revenue for tier 2 orgs/players
You guys always think of aspas as the best player on LOUD and always forget about the impact that Less has on the game. In my opinion, he has much better aim and much more game wisdom. For me, he was the MVP of the championship they won and continues to be the best player.
He's very good, but kiNgg is better. Aspas being a literal raid boss makes him a big swing factor, but I agree that Loud is still a monster without him
Aspas was definitely the best player on Loud. Without Aspas, Less doesn't shine. Trust me on this, there is no raid boss anymore on Loud. Less will struggle
I feel bad that Balla got the Mimi treatment this episode. He was constantly cut off and wasn't even able to properly ask leo his last questions before wyatt and josh bantered leo out of the pod. Rip Balla
On KOIs first game they are just gonan have their 3 players come on stage but then have their coach jump into the crowd, find their fans (yeah, both of them), stash a 50 into their pockets and now they play for KOI now
My question about Shopify rebellion is if they get into challengers how does that affect MxS? That’s a major conflict of interest to have one org have at least partial control of 2 teams in the same league
I still feel like koi will pick up scream and nivera... scream trolled last season but nivera is so talented and still young... the fact he's not signed tells me he's going to koi
Yeah Loud lost aspas but they are more flexible this season in terms of role and comps. Similar to EG last season every player can play different role. Tuyz is gonna move back to duelist this season and can play controller on some maps if needed.
on the topic of matches- while I do want there to be more than 12 regular season matches throughout an entire season- I do have the next 100 Thieves match marked on my calendar and will not miss it.
35:14 I dont know what Balla is talking about here? like if a team of plats wants to play in an organized system then let them play premier at their level. They still get to experience organized play. If you aren't at least immortal then you have next to 0 chance of becoming pro. So let them climb the ranks to immortal first in order to qualify for challengers. Discussing lowering the rank requirement is a conversation to be had, but I feel like if you really do want to become pro, you'll at least be ascendant 3+.
Game changers Australia unfortunately did not have the riot spectator mode/UI, was a bit disappointing as a caster, really hoping in the future we can have the UI!
I know GE is not a good team. But they beat Furia without Benkai and subbed in a player who didn’t play in a tournament for 1.5 years so its obvious that Furia should be below GE
I kinda disagree with Balla regarding the premiere for plats in the game, it's just there for fun where you play with your friends, why are we thinking of "going pro" or "to challengers" in Plat, what are we even talking about here
Jinggg was as important for prx success as aspas was for loud’s. If you disagree you were just not watching the games. Monyet is good but I don’t think he replaces jinggg at all.
I think i get what Mimi is saying... Jinggg was important for sure (arguably the second best player of 2023, only beaten by demon1 - and even then, still quite close), but PRX fundamentals is already very strong that they'll easily shuffle things around, 3 months max for them to figure things out, even tho that 3 months playing maybe will be pure dogwater. Also to add, PRX already show they can shuffle Benkai with Something real quick, and Jing with Monyet i think will be no different. For LOUD, its a different case. LOUD while still can be chaotic, but their roles are set. Aspas (on my list, he's third best player of 2023) is their entry for as long as it ever been, simple as that. The team prob is used to Aspas entering. You can argue the fact that Sacy and Pancada leaving is the same and LOUD still going strong. I will be agreeing with you if not for the coach changing. If the coach is still Frod, maybe its debatable. But for now, Alecks still coaching in PRX, while Frod isn't in LOUD anymore.
They look at how many matches on viewers count i guess y he said view count goes down in the middle of the tournament but all tournament in eSports tournament have same problem
loud's a tier, dominated last year because >frod and sad ham innovated with harbor viper skye >aspas good skye is dead aspas is gone so is frod saadhak has no hands loud is a gnight
I think people are hyping lev and nrg way too much. Yes I know the coach is good and they look like a super teams but still its way to early to be hyped about them when we havent seen them play. Nrg i can get behind on though because their team is perfectly balanced on all fronts but lev? Naah.

Hardball questions answered with substance. One of the better gaming interviews I've ever seen to be honest
Platchat didn’t hold back, and Leo was excited to share everything he couldn’t say on Twitter. Couldn’t ask for a better combo

oh shit they actually got Leo Faria, nice
I can't wait for NRG to loose 2 times in groups to Random Chinese team #3 at Champs
I kinda disagree with Balla regarding the premiere for plats in the game, it's just there for fun where you play with your friends, why are we thinking of "going pro" or "to challengers" in Plat, what are we even talking about here
Jinggg was as important for prx success as aspas was for loud’s. If you disagree you were just not watching the games. Monyet is good but I don’t think he replaces jinggg at all.
I think i get what Mimi is saying... Jinggg was important for sure (arguably the second best player of 2023, only beaten by demon1 - and even then, still quite close), but PRX fundamentals is already very strong that they'll easily shuffle things around, 3 months max for them to figure things out, even tho that 3 months playing maybe will be pure dogwater. Also to add, PRX already show they can shuffle Benkai with Something real quick, and Jing with Monyet i think will be no different. For LOUD, its a different case. LOUD while still can be chaotic, but their roles are set. Aspas (on my list, he's third best player of 2023) is their entry for as long as it ever been, simple as that. The team prob is used to Aspas entering. You can argue the fact that Sacy and Pancada leaving is the same and LOUD still going strong. I will be agreeing with you if not for the coach changing. If the coach is still Frod, maybe its debatable. But for now, Alecks still coaching in PRX, while Frod isn't in LOUD anymore.
I appreciate Leo for the works he does
Leo should just stop tweeting and start just talking lmao. Everything is worded so much better and leaves actual room for clarification.
