Thank you so much for being a fan! This is a great question 😄. We put a lot of thought towards this, but the main goal for us is introducing all of these new things in the cleanest and simplest way possible. Traditionally, NA and EU have always lived on the main channel, so we didn't want to change that for now.

In the future we may consider creating new regional handles, but we'll keep looking at how each region's growth goes and our own data to see the best way to divvy up regional channels!

Introducing new RLCS regions is always something where we have to strike a delicate balance, because we always want to make sure when we do introduce new regions that they have enough depth in order to maintain competitiveness over the long term. So, every time we do add regions, we've looked at tons of stuff like player populations, competitive data, grassroots tournaments, and more before we make the decision to add a RLCS region.

In terms of big challenges, it's always a bit scary launching new regions. From straightforward stuff such as potential language barriers to making sure we choose the right administrators, talent, and support staff, it's a very intensive process.

Each RLCS region has its own unique challenges when managing them, and new issues and problems are bound to happen throughout the season, so we try to make sure we can help tackle those effectively as they arise.

And lastly, I, personally, think our biggest opportunity lies in making...

Thanks for playing and being a fan! I'm also trying to get better after playing for thousands of hours 😂. Good to hear that you're excited for the RLCS 2021-22 season and, honestly, our studio is stoked that we've finally kicked it all off today!

Yes.

Amazing 👏

During a Semifinal match between Spacestation Gaming and Team Envy on April 25, 2021 an admin call was made during overtime in Game 3. Initially, Spacestation Gaming players and coach reported that Caden "Sypical" Pellegrin experienced a server disconnect caused by player connectivity issues and high ping.

After further review of player game logs, match data, server logs, and replay data (i.e. input detection) we conclusively determined that Sypical experienced a controller disconnect followed immediately by a player-initiated minimization of the game client (Alt+Tab). Sypical entered a controller input (full throttle acceleration) right before the game went into overtime, and before his controller disconnected, which carried over to the start of the overtime, making it appear as if he was experiencing high ping. Based on the belief that Sypical was experiencing high ping, a call was made that the play should stand as-is, resulting in Team Envy scoring and winning the game...
