Riot must kick bots on Heretics and give this slot to north European org like NIP or Astralis
Next stage will be kicking giants and giving slot to Gambit/VP
Spain with 1 slot for KOI is more than enough

KOI has way too much clout to be kicked out imo

im not sure tho, im saying this on the basis of whole ibai vs kameto thing on twitter on the day of kc vs koi

KOI has big streamer Ibai, heretics and giants have nothing. At least one Nordic representation has to be - Astralis or NIP instead heretics, and CIS slot for Giants…

TH owner has had peaks of over 2m viewers on twitch. I wouldn't say they have "nothing"

Its not only about clout, when they were picking teams they were also looking for how long this org been in valorant and how is their management etc.

KOI merged with Rogue. So now KOI has teams in a shit tone of games in many of which are or have been world champions. Multiple time LEC winners etc. Rogue management is currently in charge of most sport related things

I think if the Russia situation didn’t happen Gambit would be in franchising

NIP and Astralis are big orgs with fanbases in Scandinavian countries. Don’t you guys think North EU must have tier 1 representation in Valorant?

Yes but Gambit hasn’t viewers either till they won Masters Berlin. Danish and Swede players are better than Spanish for sure, just look what Danes do in cs. Since NIP or Astralis win some titles they will have insane viewership. And there is zero chance KOI, heretics or Giants win masters with Spanish players.

Maybe, I have no idea, I just don't know much about the NIP scene after they left here

Considering that most of the good players are in franchises, I think it's hard for them to start a team to play ascencion now. Unless they do a miracle the same way C9 did and find a bunch of nobody and show their potential, shutting everyone up in the end. And I didn't look for it, but before the br team, had they already managed to qualify for any masters or champions?

I love to see at Brazil at this point. Remember when NA and EU were malding about BR slots on masters? BR were bad at that point, much worse than NA and EU, but Riot slightly supported region by slots knowing that Brazil has talents and potential to grow. Now Brazil owning Americas and have decent viewerships.
I just want riot do the same with Denmark and North EU as well bcz they definitely have talents (from cs), they just need some representation and time to grow. I don’t even talk about china and their slots, ffs rito, they support china but don’t support North EU

Considering what astralis has done with csgo, I'm afraid of the future. Jokes aside, I hope that riot demonstrates the representativeness you deserve, friend. Good luck on ascensions. Who knows, maybe NIP will come back with everything for valorant or Astralis will assemble a super roster. I'll keep an eye

Alright first of all, I thought we were over the fact that slots are not given based on sport performance. Who tf tells you a top 10 team this year is not a top 3 team next year?

Second of all, nordic scene in Valorant is not a thing, Copenaghen stadium was half empty being small af. Nordic countries haven't switched from CS and the Nordic league unfortunately can't pull 1k viewers. Nip intentionally left to Brazil and Astralis had been a total nightmare for Riot in LOL, so if it's a nordic org it's definitely not them. Also Riot considers UK and the nordic countries the same league so technically FNC is the nordic representation.

About GMB and VP, I'm pretty sure GMB it's not a thing anymore sadly. VP it's a good option

And then about the 3 spanish orgs. As I said sport performance should not be a factor here.
KOI has the biggest streamer in the world watchpartying every game, the roster might not be working but we all thought it was gonna work. Missing one year is not fucking drama. Also remember they just merged with Rogue and have a lot of money.
Same applies to TH, they have spent over 250k on their roster, they have tried and failed, but at the end of the say someone has to be the worst. The problem comes when that last team doesn't try. They didn't pull the expected numbers but it's definitely harder when you're last. They also just bought a LEC slot for 50 million
About Giants, they're the smallest out of probably all orgs in the league. Still they have spent again around 250k on their roster and have proven they have a great sport director. That being said if someone has to be kicked it's them, they're the smallest. Even though they're actually doing some great content
