riot small indie company

people complaining about the lack of hype or bad casters but even the formats were so ass and inconsistent

Pacific had an amazing groupstage followed by a shitty playoff format
Americas had a shitty groupstage format ever followed by the best playoffs format
EMEA had an alright groupstage/playoffs but got to enjoy a play-in

why can't every region just have the EMEA play-in, the Pacific groupstage, and the Americas playoffs format? why are all the formats so inconsistent and bad? i swear riot should be given an award for coming up with the worst possible formats.

+1
riot is braindead

Pacific format was so ass

emea hasnt had a single lan game yet

coz the number of sub regions are different accross all three leagues, tier 2 can't have same structure accross as travel restriction and regional logistics and envrionments differ. for example pacific, its easy to reach thailand from SEA, SA, Korea, Japan etc and for Americas the number sub region is just 4 i guess so to add more games making event longer and make seeding more logical they had different GS. GS matches were good.

Well if you want to explore more about T2 scenario, i guess theres a interview of Leo faria on platchat or something, and for me his statements did make sense tho i think they have a lot of room to improve. but for first season i loved all the 3 T2 region games.

valorant is just a big social experiment
