Anyone else?

Anyone else feel bad for Guild, Giants, XSET, Rise and all the other teams from NA / EMEA, who never got a taste of internatinal experience because they weren't just good enough to clinch a spot?

Imagine being them right now, you watch this circus that's happening on official Valorant stream, and you realise that your team is 100x better despite never qualifying to LAN event and never becoming famous

Nah, its like World Cup Football, diversity is needed, Esport cannot grow If only 1 or 2 regions play. Weaker regions cannot grow If they don't have chance to compete at highest level

But that would make this game like Cs . Riot is really on the mission to make this game as global as possible . Though your post is logical I'm afraid it's not reasonable . It would be a different story if there was no hype but both Br and Jp fans are contributing well to the viewership right now .

add more teams and create 2 stage like major or a play in like cologne
