On the first day of matches, the VCT Pacific Ascension event experienced numerous technological difficulties, and as a result, it is being ridiculed online. VCT Pacific Ascension got off to a rocky start because of numerous technical problems with the competition. The second match is still going on, and there is still one best-of-three series to play. Therefore the broadcast has been extended by more than ten hours due to the issues.
The first map of the series between XERXIA Esports and ONE Team Esports experienced a brief technical break before the problems started nearly as soon as the action got underway. However, the second map was where the tournament’s technological difficulties took a toll. The broadcast had to break away to a graphic explaining what was happening as tournament organizers attempted to fix the problem because the players’ gaming client failed during the match. We’re currently having a technical problem. The graphic promised, “We’ll be right back.”
VCT Pacific Ascension ridiculed for glitches
After a video of the players being expelled from the Valorant client was posted, some people in the Valorant Competitive subreddit made mocking remarks. One user called the commencement of the Pacific Ascension “disappointing.”
Another user commented, “The admin forgot that the stove was on.” I’m sorry, guys. Eventually, the game could continue, and XERXIA won the series 2-1. However, the problems persisted throughout the second game, which featured NAOS and Fancy United Esports. According to a statement issued by the tournament’s administrators and Riot Games, the competition’s LAN server was to blame. The game picked back up on an internet server.
Viewers and Valorant pros have used Twitter to make fun of the delays and criticize the tournament’s organizer for a bad first day of matches. In response to the switch to an online server, SCARZ coach Daulet ‘Fadezis’ Abilov tweeted a collection of happy emoticons. Some spectators laughed in response, and even the head coach of NRG Esports sent a skull emoji in return.
In addition, the competition received mockery for a procedural error. The second match’s opening map was replayed after the first three rounds of play, which the sides took to test games. “Biggest joke of the year,” one supporter remarked. Nearly 12 hours into the broadcast, the day’s final match between SCARZ and Bonkers is set to begin.
