With the Twitch Rivals Valorant Series 2 tournament well underway, top Twitch content creators are competing alongside some top players in a total of eight teams. In one of these teams (Team Sydeon) is Imane “Pokimane” Anys<\/a>, and it appears she is not very happy about the balancing of the teams in the Twitch Rivals Valorant Series 2 tournament, going as far as to say the teams are imbalanced, and calling it “messed up and unfair”.<\/p>\n

In a recent stream, Pokimane explained how the tournament is supposed to feature only two Immortal ranked Valorant players as a team. However, she notes how some teams have three, and “even looks like they have four.<\/p>\n

Imane calls the Twitch Rivals Valorant Series 2 tournament “really, really messed up and unfair and not balanced”.<\/p>\n

She further slams Twitch Rivals and Riot Games for these stacked teams going unnoticed: “I don’t understand how this got past the Rivals team and the Riot team. But it just feels like the teams are soooo imbalanced that it is going to make for a bad streamer experience, as well as perhaps a bad viewer experience. And it makes me sad because this was kinda pitched as a fun, casual tournament of sorts.”<\/p>\n

Despite the “imbalance”, Pokimane’s team did manage to qualify for the playoffs, which is taking place on 30th June starting at roughly 23:00 CET. Pokimane also explained that she thinks the most-stacked teams are Team Bnans, Team Ploo and Team itsHafu. However, the latter has been eliminated, so take that piece of information as you like.<\/p>\n
