Hey everyone, firstly I just want to say thank you so much for the support on this video. I am truly stunned and speechless from the result and thank you for 200 subs, really appreciated. Secondly after more research from the entries I was either stuck on or didn't have a lot of information about here are the entries I got more information about, which hopefully would give the entries a more thoroughly understanding for all of you watching the video. So if I said anything about I don't know what this means or the answer I gave wasn't clear enough or doesn't even answer the entry, then most likely the answer would be here. So here it goes. 1. OpTic partnership application: Basically Optic screwed up their partnership application which resulted in them not getting into the franchise league. 2. Focus on your bombsite: It was not Mel at Masters Tokyo who said that, it was actually Yay when he was on DSG in 2023, he was not happy with his teammates and got pretty annoyed at them on multiple occasions. You can probably find it on UA-cam. 3. RRQ warning: Refers to RRQ getting several warnings by Riot during the off season due to them having applied as an Indonesian representative only to announce they would re-sign their entire Filipino roster (pretty dumb idea) before being forced to increase their budget and sign Flipzjder, tebotoL and Lmemore as the Indonesian representative. 4. EG trial process: Refers to EG saying how they found Demon1 and other players in the roster. But it was a fake way to get the players. A former EG employee GamerDoc tweeted about "how" they found Demon1. However, when I was trying to find the tweet, it looks like it was deleted so here is Demon1's response to the tweet. (twitter.com/demon1___/status/1662258826320461824?s=46&t=rVi2bXhUkkH1LDoYuVqA1g) 5. Masters 2 bathroom: Contrary to popular belief it NOT related to any player getting blacklisted just people who are very close to the VCT scene at the event opening the bathroom at the masters 2 venue to see something they are scarred for life about. So it could be anything cursed or disturbing. 6. GUILD Masters Copenhagen: GUILD had an entire shuttle for themselves as they had an entire film crew with them to the event only to never post any of the footage onto their social media, which leads me to question. What's the point of the entire shuttle. 7. São Paulo venue drama: refers NOT the GameChangers venue but the complaints coming from Brazilian fans during LOCK//IN about the venue. 8. Marved "Who said that": refers to in a press conference where journalist @LeaderGrev asked Marved about his matchfixing accusations in CS. Obviously Marved was pretty upset and this would make more sense then my George Geddes guess about him going to Sentinels in 2023. (twitter.com/LeaderGrev) 9. Polaris cutting 1 broadcast day: refers to the TO of Promod overspending and screwing up their own budget resulting in two teams who were close to signing getting dropped last minute. 10. ZmjjKK stuck in bathroom: refers to ZmjjKK being stuck in a bathroom cause the door was jammed during LOCK//IN. Not Masters Tokyo or Champs 2022 and 2023. So I guess always check if the door is not jammed while in the bathroom. 11. Gunba20 sensitivity training: refers to Gunba sending players to sensitivity training when they performed badly, which does not make sense to me at all. 12. EU Challengers 2021 Stage 3 Challengers 2 Lower Round 3: This is actually a reference to BIG vs Finest not the Fnatic vs TenStar match which is to date the most suspicious match in VALORANT history and people believe there was matchfixing involved, however it was never confirmed by either side. Considering the first two maps were pretty close (13-9 on both Bind and Icebox) but on Ascent it was 13-2 to BIG. (www.vlr.gg/28215/big-vs-team-finest-champions-tour-europe-stage-3-challengers-2-lr3/?game=45154&tab=overview) 13. F4U: refers to the entire company as a whole and how badly they tend to treat employees and how many times they mess up. Which will get into later. 14. Franchise team trailing players through deathmatch: refers to RRQ NOT EG having deathmatch as part of their trial process. Which once again does not make sense at all. At least I said RRQ as a possibility but EG was still a good shout. 15. KC Off-season adventure: This entry was kind of correct but it also had a lot of other stuff involved which made the off season extremely funny. An example of this is Scream and Nivera were so expensive they couldn't afford other players. So even if Newzera left early on, the team couldn't afford anyone. Luckily the team is looking to build a much better roster for 2024. 16. Blacklisted EMEA players: refers to a list of players who are considered brand risks for teams. The most common player on the list is DavidP which I was correct about. He is with 3DMAX as of the 10/12/2023. So let's see how long that goes for. 17. Yakuza funded roster: Surprisingly it is more than one organization which applied for partnership, it was revealed to be funded by a yakuza family. I was not expecting to see more than one org in the running for partnership. 18. Sick Sao Paulo adventure: The adventure Sick had is worse than anyone would think but we need to wait until more information gets released to the public. 19. Casters bought trophy: refers to NOT the Polaris region but the DACH region, more specifically split 1 where the casters bought a trophy for playoffs as F4U did not want to buy one, for some reason. Another reason to hate F4U. 20. LOUD getting fucked over: From people saying TSM, The Guard or Faze Clan. It was actually the scummest org in the world Immortals, who offered to help LOUD with a facility in LA but then ghosted them out of nowhere. Once again anothe reason to hate Immortals to go along with the BLM situation. Once again thank you so much for the support and I hope all of you enjoy my upcoming videos on this channel.
Some interesting extra info on the Wyatt and Spyder entries. Wyatt had actually been in contact with nadeshot for months leading to him not appearing on plat chat for a long time. He was almost guaranteed the position of GM for 100t together with mikes as the coach, but when sgares and ddk were let go by the vct broadcasting team, nadeshot found them to desirable and signed ddk as the gm and moved mikeshd to an assistant coach role. Wyatt in a now seemingly lost previous broadcast shared that the team he had worked with mikeshd to create was Stellar, Derek, Bang, Asuna and bdog. With the Spyder situation, he was actually forced to change his name by the t1 org as they found the name Sayaplayer to not be marketable enough. I'm also pretty sure I remember some leaks about him being mistreated by the rest of the team, but I can't fully remember what happened.
I think focus "focus on your own bombsite" refers to when yay was playing for dsg and he said this in a match to one of the dsg members iirc. Great video btw bro ❤
Marved's "Who said that" entry was during an Envy press conference they got asked about the match fixing thing and Marved asked which reporter asked that question. Video title is "Team Envy Press Conference | 2021 VCT Stage 3 Masters: Berlin" @ 3:00
49:15 Refers to the fact that EG made a whole twitter post about how they were just doing open trials after they got accepted into partnership I believe.
Cool video! Was gonna only comment the ShahZ thing but I'm just gonna add some more stuff as I watch lol btw if you need help with some video-editing stuff I'm down to help, Pro Tip: if your chroma-key isn't playing well with shadows no matter how much you fiddle with it, add another key for the shadows 30:17 Actually iirc there was a tech issue on the Furia side that caused the tech pause. Since it was very long ShahZ asked if he could use the bathroom during the tech-pause during the break and Riot allowed it. The bathroom break wasn't the actual reason - but I think people ended up thinking that because SEN players made jokes about it. ^ or at least that's how ShahZ explained it on stream at the time. 36:59 The rumor iirc is Skuba's buy-out was $250K, so not that C9 (and other teams like 100T considering him) couldn't afford it - but it was pretty unreasonable given Skuba's lack of brand. Classic contract jail :( The C9-SEN TenZ million dollar deal really didn't help :/ (btw for 100T who also considered TenZ, C9 asked for 1.5-2 Mil which Nadeshot talked about on stream) The earlier point of T1 Spyder being put on smokes - obviously he was a goated widow, but Skadoodle was a renowned AWP-er in CS and was part of the NA's only major win. Saya still got cucked regardless, but there was a decent reason at the time for putting Ska on Jett-op instead of Saya + NA clout coming into factor since Jetts really were the stars. Oh and the V1 Zellsis stuff. Could've just been weird phrasing but during the JasonrR vs Tarik debacle when Zellsis spoke-up he talked about it being for remarks deemed "sexist AND racist". Could just be him mis-stating the Riot statement (where it was vague and said "or" if iirc), but yeah that's the only other info we have :p 44:34 iirc Wyatt actually suggested Will and Stellar - who 100T would go-on to pick-up. sgares and DDK were both f/a after they weren't picked for Masters Rejk 2022. sgares got the coach job and talked highly of DDK, who 100T ended up going with b/c they figured the two would have better chemistry given their history as a casting duo. 46:28 Bren esports situation was wild. Wasn't mentioned but also Bren Esports dropped out of Masters Berlin 2021 because of visa issues. Iirc they were meant to play in the group w/ SEN, G2, and F4Q - which is why SEN and G2 played each other twice. 49:13 idk about the EG thing either lol, but if it's about Demon1 like in your comment - he was trialled by EG after he shit on them in a scrim whilst trialing with DSG (Toast talked about it on stream). 1:03:08 Esporkolik reported that Riot would allow gambling sponsors in the future - it was on reddit, geddes wrote an article about it, etc. Immediately there was huge community backlash. Later that same day Purest/Geddes got a statement from a Riot official that there weren't any changes. So people joked that Riot "accidentally" leaked their plans to see how the community would react, and walked-back on their plans.
I think the eg trial process thing might have been because they originally had open tryouts (with hundreds of applicants) for the whole 10 man roster where they did some wacky stuff with personality tests and aimlab tests. Iirc they got in hot water at one point because whoever was running it said that demon1 came from that process and then he personally went and said that wasn’t true or something like that. I vaguely remember it from the reddit.
For the record, the Mistic flash wasn't Mistic's fault. He commed the flash to Doma and Doma either wasn't listening or didn't react in time. Kind of unfortunate it gets pinned on him. Good video though! It's fun reminiscing about all the stuff you forget like this lmao.
What happend with the guard and franchising was the fact that The guard just didn't reply to Valorant saying they wanna be franchised, but Riot let the roster itself go through under another org which is why G2 now has them and is in franchising. Its also rumoured that they wouldn't get the same benefits as a normal franchised team which is why they didn't want to be in it.
Scream calling out Newzera was about Scream trying to justify completely ruining KC by being the IGL and very oppressive. Newzera leaving was the only reason KC even won a single match
There was also that time that his dms got leaked and he was calling girls mommy and barking at them. Kinda wild. The iceberg is probably more referring to his judge use though.

Another update on an entry. Here is the video of the Rhyme Blast Cam entry (ua-cam.com/video/TETjhvcw7oY/v-deo.html)
Some interesting extra info on the Wyatt and Spyder entries. Wyatt had actually been in contact with nadeshot for months leading to him not appearing on plat chat for a long time.

Huh didn’t know any of that, thanks for sharing this
I think focus "focus on your own bombsite" refers to when yay was playing for dsg and he said this in a match to one of the dsg members iirc. Great video btw bro ❤
Thanks, yeah that was a mistake on my part
man, that was quite a research huh. thank you for your video, you deserve 1000x more views and interactions!
Thank you so much, the research was a lot for this video. But that's what icebergs video do to people
i love iceberg vids so much, this did not disappoint
Marved's "Who said that" entry was during an Envy press conference they got asked about the match fixing thing and Marved asked which reporter asked that question. Video title is "Team Envy Press Conference | 2021 VCT Stage 3 Masters: Berlin" @ 3:00

The C9-SEN TenZ million dollar deal really didn't help :/ (btw for 100T who also considered TenZ, C9 asked for 1.5-2 Mil which Nadeshot talked about on stream)
The earlier point of T1 Spyder being put on smokes - obviously he was a goated widow, but Skadoodle was a renowned AWP-er in CS and was part of the NA's only major win. Saya still got cucked regardless, but there was a decent reason at the time for putting Ska on Jett-op instead of Saya + NA clout coming into factor since Jetts really were the stars.
Oh and the V1 Zellsis stuff. Could've just been weird phrasing but during the JasonrR vs Tarik debacle when Zellsis spoke-up he talked about it being for remarks deemed "sexist AND racist".

Later that same day Purest/Geddes got a statement from a Riot official that there weren't any changes. So people joked that Riot "accidentally" leaked their plans to see how the community would react, and walked-back on their plans.
Thanks for the added information, I'll see what I can do with the chroma-key.
I think the eg trial process thing might have been because they originally had open tryouts (with hundreds of applicants) for the whole 10 man roster where they did some wacky stuff with personality tests and aimlab tests. Iirc they got in hot water at one point because whoever was running it said that demon1 came from that process and then he personally went and said that wasn’t true or something like that.

I was here, what a video! (skipped to end, sorry)
lol don't be sorry its okay
For the record, the Mistic flash wasn't Mistic's fault. He commed the flash to Doma and Doma either wasn't listening or didn't react in time. Kind of unfortunate it gets pinned on him. Good video though! It's fun reminiscing about all the stuff you forget like this lmao.

Its also rumoured that they wouldn't get the same benefits as a normal franchised team which is why they didn't want to be in it.
this shit gonna blows up, good job bro
49:10 the score esports recently made a video about it actually

Scream calling out Newzera was about Scream trying to justify completely ruining KC by being the IGL and very oppressive. Newzera leaving was the only reason KC even won a single match

There was also that time that his dms got leaked and he was calling girls mommy and barking at them. Kinda wild. The iceberg is probably more referring to his judge use though.
