not bad.
BR is pretty invested in GC with big orgs like liquid and Loud making good rosters.
hopefully the venue being in riot studios will mean they can actual fix the errors that happened in lock//in.

The "L" is the gc format.
Only 8 teams again... only 1 international event for the circuit?
cmon riot atleast up it to 12 teams..

I think it's about time to expand from a 8-team format. So many talented teams playing an entire year for 1 or 2 spots is rough.

riot are prioritizing equality and feminism, they want these teams to compete with others teams and not have a special privileged league for them. their talent should be shown at masters. making game changers equal to masters will demotivate these teams from competing further.

I think it's too early to have an organized franchise GC teams, maybe 2 years from now things might be better in female scene.

Riot: forces the franchise's 30 teams to have a women's team (In addition to the teams that are not franchised and still have a women's team)
Also riot: only gives 8 spots for the most important female event

Does anyone know how the attendance for the first GC championship was? I remember watching some games and it looked pretty empty, but I don't know if that was because of a lack of interest in going, or just how small the amount of seating was for that event.

It was in the LEC Studio, which houses a max of 174 people. Meaning taking this event to the CBLOL Arena is a downgrade.

Somewhat disappointed to see the same format with small venue, small crowd, and limited slots, especially after what most of the players said last year when a similar format was announced. This year, after averaging over 100k viewers last year, (even when most of NA was unable to watch live due to time difference) I think players expected a larger event, especially when this is the only Game Changers international all year, outside of NA bringing in some LATAM teams in third party tournaments.

Br is gonna insta lose and there's not going to be crowd on 16 round lmaooo

dont get me wrong, SP is a nice place and nice location to vlog and farm subs, the issue is the crowd, who thinks that they teams are the main character and they are winning everything

if you payed an entrance to watch valorant, even if your team loses, go watch and enjoy it bro.

Com todo respeito, mas NUNCA que a Daiki é melhor que a Bstrdd. A Bstrdd é a melhor jogadora da América do Sul desde 2020. Se bobear, a Daiki não é nem a segunda melhor jogadora do time agora que entrou a Isaa/Joojina/Bizerra.

We should think that Riot is using this to reuse its experience in League of Legends everywhere. LoL has been declining.
