A Question

Please, can anyone tell me why are there 2 spots for China in the Asian last chance qualifier?
I thought the game wasn't even released in China yet.
Thank You!

Edit: Looks like no one is getting my question. I am asking how are there Chineses teams gonna qualify for the Last chance qualifier. I havent seen a single Chinese match yet(maybe I missed it), also the game isnt even out China... how?????
I am not asking WHY are there Chinese teams, I am asking HOW are there Chinese teams?
I thought China will get into the competitive scene when the game will released there.....

cos Riot idk

cos Riot idk

Wow looks like no one rn got any idea lol

Because they are a new superpower

they have potential to be the biggest and strongest region, just like in LoL

Probably because tencent is riot parent company and they want their game to be big in their own region

China will dominate this game for sure

China will dominate this game for sure

it's not LoL so i doubt that

Thats not what I asked....

Nah they most probably will if the competitive scene gets big there...

Valorant will become bigger than CS:GO in China of course cuz rito game maybe we see them become as good as the other main regions like EU/NA and they might play as well as they did in Overwatch

I thought there's only one spot left and it's not officially confirmed who that slot is for yet? People r assuming that it's for China.

prob because the game will release later this year in China

guys hes asking that if the game is not even released in china how are there teams competing and tournaments happening in china

Vlr says 2 spots which are labelled as China.
Also, so you are saying thats its just an assumption?

That doesn't make any sense at all. Then how are they even gonna compete with other teams if they play when it has just been released? The Asia LCQ is in october, only few months left...

JustEnjoying [#10]

Thats not what I asked....

well phrase you sentence better next time lol
anyways china alread had some tournaments this year its just not officially out I think they play it over VPN. but i didnt hear about a circuit to qualify yet so thats still in question

they already play the game since its out just not on chinese servers. u can see there is a decent amount of chinese tournaments already been held

Ok so nothing is official yet. Thats so sad that we couldn't see how they play and stuff. Guess we gotta check it out in the Asian LCQ...

fyi, there's no slot for china on liquipedia or playvalorant.com, there is some sort of info mismatch here
