CONGRATULATIONS PHILIPPINES!!!!!
I don't understand why the SEA servers had to go. The game right now is frustrating me mainly because of the mech, then I hear this news which affects us SEA players long term. @Epic devs do you guys have plans on bringing it back? #RemoveTheMechs #BringBackSEAServers

I've seen articles such as this: https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/11/24/19/sea-games-phisgoc-apologizes-as-travel-hotel-woes-hound-football-teams
that mention logistical errors such as taking players to the wrong hotel, or accidentally leaving certain teams at the airport for hours on end. I've even seen memes and jokes about the Philippines hosting the SEA games even though some facilities weren't finished??
When I speak to my (Filipino) family about it they claim that it's all "fake news", and that there's explanations for all of these mishaps.
Did these mishaps really happen? Is it the organizers fault? If these didn't happen and this was just bad reporting, why would rumors such as these spread?
We already know people ship thailand/vietnam, indonesia/ philippines and malaysia/ singapore a lot.
My speculations on next popular ships are
Myanmar/ laos(neighborhood love) Brunei/east timor(idk i feel like this.....a kind of prediction) And cambodia with happiness lol
Just a reminder about this truly unique sporting event. 56 sports on tap. Live-streams available in YouTube and Facebook. The goal of the games is to increase the standard of SEA sport.
