i agree for steam b was ass but for steam a was goood you cant lie about that
plus ewc is not just hosting valorant you dumbfucks
its all games
and next year i think
the format and the schedule will be better cuz riot will sponser it
U just cant call it a real event when the schedule and production is that ass. Sorry
whats wrong with the schedule and production? From all the Bo1s i watched yesterday there was 1 delay and 1 glitch in the stream with a few minor issues with UI
Replay is bad, the casting isnt that good bo1s arent that good and the schedule makes it a disadvantages to go
Replay is pretty bad sure, casting is fine its just not sideshow or pansy, the schedule is the schedule of any other esports, these arent valid reasons to say it isnt a "real" event when clearly these teams are actually trying so far aside from G2
What was so bad about it? They had a tech issue which delayed them. Everything besides was fine and fnc still got 2nd
2nd are you high on smth
delayed for fking whole week
and they were playing online for the group stages
and playoffs ended the last for emea casuing teams to have no time to prep for ewc or masters toronto
2nd are you high on smth

the tech issues werent the reason they were delayed, they were gonna take a full week break anyway before the playoffs
its 16 teams event and not 32 teams swiss format so theres literally ZERO reason d=to do bo1s
-
Qual format and anticheating measures were terrible
-
Some teams changing roster right before or during the quals. Some teams didnt even play due to that.
-
Format bad. (Bo1s)
-
Incredibly tight schedule from quals to now.
-
So many tech issues and delays.

Playing on online servers
This event could become something eventually but this first iteration hat a lot of flaws.
mickey mouse tournament means outside the main tournament( idk why these people disagree with the term lol)
No Mickey Mouse means it isnt prestigious, no one rates the tournament highly because its filled with bad teams. Outside the main circuit would mean half of all the biggest events in every esports is a mickey mouse tourney which is undeniable cope
No mickey mouse means you got a lucky win. I think since thats how its used in fortnite (lol)
stage 1 emea was online and was pretty bad ping too at that, so that was also mickey mouse? By that logic every tier 1 event was mickey mouse pre masters 2 2021
The qualifiers were mickey mouse back then. Masters were played on lan except for some games where players didnt have visa or smth
brother you got proven by everybody that this is a real event
you are just asore loser whose team didnt make it so he calls the event mickey mouse lmao
brother absolutely yes EMEA stage 1 groups tech pause simulator was a mickey. Thankfully playoffs were fixed.
And yes, prefranchising is kinda mickey here and there. Look at Ascend win LOL
Emea played online 2-3 weeks before they fixed it. Ewc will be full online...
partly because there's no way teams prepare for this event the same way they might prepare for masters due to scheduling of the tournament as a whole within the valorant calendar (only like a week or two out of toronto and stage 2 starts straight after) and also the scheduling of the tournament itself with the matches being this compressed - means the overall level of play is probably lower than it would be at a masters or champions
most teams that went deep in Toronto took like a week break after Toronto (or else they might burn out given they'd have to then play back to back to back) - so they've probably only had a few days of practice (if even) since Toronto where they would have shown most of their strats (and have had no time to cook new strats since)
i would perhaps expect the non-Toronto teams to perform better since they've had a lot of time off to cook - but perhaps they also don't want to show everything given Stage 2 is coming (although you could argue with the new maps coming in, they have nothing to lose on maps going out)
online
scheduling nightmare
inconsistent and badly designed formats
tons of teams playing without full rosters + multiple teams using it to trial players
different patch to the ones teams are scrimming on
not part of vct
Basically the only reason you get to claim this is on the same level of VCT is if you also consider Red Bull Home Ground to be worth a masters.
bro the prizepool offsets this heavy and
only two teams are with subs xlg and g2
prizepool does not matter whatsoever to make a good event
"Youre a horrible person"
"Who cares, look at my car!"
and did you watch the qualifiers? youre only sliiiiiightly off with 2 teams
bro all pros at the end of the day are playing for money wdym prizepool doesnt not matter
also who are are other teams playing with subs?
i touch more grass than you lil boi
and its fucking 50 C here
cant go out
Teams with Subs/Trials that didnt end up getting signed
I excluded players which were playing on rosters before they were announced. Ya can do that work yourself if you care.

What about scheduling for china and apac? Chinese teams had games in china 3-5 days before this event and along with prepping for stage 2 matches they had to directly travel again for this. And apac has stage 2 matches in like 2 days after this event which are very important for making champs.
Another problem is it's not a part of official eSports cycle for valorant. It doesn't have any champs points or circuit points. and it's qualifiers were equally ass too like just before ewc for 3rd see teams of Toronto which was very unfair. And format with bo1 and single elimination playoffs is just not it for valorant.
And finally yes money makes this event quite important but it's just not as prestigious as masters.
People call it mickey mouse in the sense that it's not as big or as prestigious as official val events especially masters. Let's not even talk about champs.
Yep just not as prestigious as masters let alone champs. How will it be as prestigious as masters with that ass schedule and format? People already call lock in an official event a mickey mouse just cause of the single elimination format. Let's not even talk about ewc
Who are the “tons of teams playing without full rosters” and who are “using it to trial players” ?
Maybe your definition of the word “tons” means something differently.
no, if its to be on the level of a vct event (or for my comparison RBHG) then the quals matter
If Riot just decided to invite 10 of the 16 teams at champs it would be a micky mouse event
as such looking at how the teams got there is essential for determining if it is a good format
Quals directly impact the legitimacy of the event...
If it doesnt matter we could give lottery tickets to my premier team to participate right?
off topic, but I just realised that the Valorant viewership of ewc outside china is absolutely abysmal. even furia vs 2g in vct americas would be watched more than half of these ewc matches
Also, the fact that BO1s are making people think it is a single elim tourney is baffling to me. The group stage format is the same as champs. they made openers bo1s to make sure they finish before the start of stage 2. Honestly, people should cry after seeing the tournament details and the time that is available and not be reactive to any miniscule info they get
brother the playoffs are single elim, who cares if groups work same as champs (if you ignore BO1s) that's not the point.
at least know what you're talking about before you yap
Yeah bro so true
- Fair & square qualifications. ✅️
- Amazing Format. ✅️
- The best schedules. ✅️
- The Production is top notch. ✅️
