The best team from Japan Crazy Racoon was the worst team in Iceland, they qualified again for Berlin and even this time Japan has 2 slots..again they won just 2 rounds in 2 maps yesterday vs Gambit, so the second best team Zeta is much worse than Crazy Racoon..and we dont get to see teams like Liquid,FPX,Fnatic,Cloud9,Nuturn,Vikings etc in this Tournament and these teams are much much better than CRacoon

Take the slots away from Japan, and give it to EU or NA or even Brazil idk but it doesnt make fun that you know CR already lost the match before it started

They already were worst in Iceland so 6rounds in 2 maps max 10 would be good for them imo

"Take a slot away from Japan give it to EMEA / NA / BRAZIL"
NO, DON'T MAKE IT LIKE CS. GIVE EQUAL SLOTS TO EVERY REGION. and just keep these many slots for EMEA / NA

Major regions 3/4 slots
Mid regions 2/3
Minor regions 1/2

Zeta>>>>>>CR
Also, Japan gets huge viewership. There's no way Riot takes their slots.

agreed, that definitely will help the underperforming region improve over the year. Just like league

turkey gets a lot more viewership compared to any region but NA but we still don't have any slots. so its definitely not viewership they are looking for when they pick slot regions

People get to rep their region and that's so good. Like Benkai even said that this is one thing riot is doing better than CS. Just because a region "isn't that good" compared to others doesn't mean you should give it to other regions.

Vikings was shit btw. Also if u want the best teams u will only have 3 regions. Pls just stfu and go to csgo, we want GLOBAL competition, what is the point in sending 8 emea teams when 4 is enough to represent NA/EMEA and secure the masters title when they are on top. Sure group games arent the best teams pöaying each other but thats why there is playoffs.
Riot can make a 24 team tournamenr aswell and give lower regions play-in slots. Would make the main event higher competition and the tournament overall more interesting with more regions.

no japan government are supporting online games and even investing that's why they have 2 slots in 1-word politics

it's not directly viewership but Riot wants to be inclusive. The watch permits had people who don't even play Valorant that much, but riot wants more communities in the game. So cutting off Japan means no Japanese teams in international LANs and so less Japanese viewers or players.
Also kicking out a region which pulls 100,000 viewers?
And maybe #11 too that I didn't know about.

Eu and NA get enough slots. Its not like 5th best eu team would win the tournament, although the matches may be a bit closer.

I would rather use that slot to help expand Valorant as a global esport.

Japan should be merged with korea and China as a region IMO.

most watched matches from turkey https://escharts.com/tournaments/valorant/valorant-champions-tour-2021-emea-stage-2-challengers-finals

Its highest because of Liquid. Liquid has a huge fan base and every VCT, Liquid matches are the most watched.

I don't agree with japan having no slots. They should have 1

Korea has shown competency as a region. What's the issue?
