3 slots to BR again is so fucking stupid

they have the smallest server population in the world after Korea, which is has 1 server which is seoul1

they never made it out of groups

their viewership is smaller than SEA, JP, TR, NA

it is not 3 slots for br, they are giving 1 guaranteed slot to latam and br, and a slot shared between them in masters. In champions the same thing happens, but with two shared slots

Turkey gets nothing while being as populated as brazil with bigger viewership

Same with Japan, they have over 20 salaried pro teams with huge viewership yet they get crumbs, still way better than turkey tho I feel bad for turkish people

and then u have BR, 3 slots to champions.

It is 3 slots for BR. Kru are far and away the only real contender in LATAM for now. Just like last time, BR will end up winning the 2 LCQ spots and having 3 uncompetitive teams in Champions who get swept again and never make it past the group stage.

well, i'm sure they didn't want to be at the receiving end of death threats either

but ignoring completely insignificant death threats am i right? who cares about that
i'm not saying it's your guys' fault, but the fact that you keep bringing up illogical arguments to justify why you deserve un-proportionally more than other regions who have performed far better, have far more investment, and have proven with far more success at international events. when someone brings up a justified and evidently backed argument why Brazil should not deserve as many slots for simply getting clapped in groups and having slim viewership, you guys flock in hordes to justify why Brazil needs more

but BR have only one server, is Sao Paulo1 too.
Why you think BR still not good right now? Simple, because you need to live in Sao Paulo to have a 3-10 ping to play decent, because in Immortal lobby everyone is from South. 3-10 ping too strong against someone 70-90 ping from North.

Online qualify really fucked some Brazilians teams to show up because 3 ping against 70 is just too much.

Yeah except that's why Korea only gets max 2 slots even tho we performed better than BR in every tournament till date

We never lost to a minor region EVER

Korea is a minor region as well, low player count, not big streamers, I never seen some korean playing Valorant with 2k+ views, but in BR or any other region people can get 30k views easily. That's what matter too, probably 2 slots will be MAX for Korea. I'm sure KR will receive one more when they change format to 24 teams, if not, KR+JP will be 2 slots.

It's 1 for BR, 2 for the LCQ that includes the whole LATAM.

So, in the end all you're trying to say is "LATAM sucks since no team other than KRU will qualify in the LCQ so there's 2 free slots to BR" without saying the rest of LATAM is worst than Brazil.

But I get your narrative, it's easier to point fingers and make the "Brazil sucks and shouldn't get slots, Bron71l sucks hahahah" posts, since they will get you the funny imaginary points on the internet.

Bro, if you share those 2 LCQ slots with any other region you wouldn't even send 2 teams to champions

It's fair, if BR had passed and won against the major teams he would be with 2 spots until now, Latam only had 1 good team so make it 1 spot.

The 2 spots from LCQ is for making competition between the scenes, if BR gets the slots is merit for BR.

Utter bs. BR are practically handed 3 slots on a silver platter. Just like last champions, they fought through blood sweat and tears through such a competitive region to win a bonus 2 lcq slots and just like last time, they will have 3 uncompetitive teams who get knocked out in group stages once again.

So, again, you're trying to shit on Brazil because you have your own bias, but you're avoinding the fact LATAM is worst than us, so it's easier to say we don't deserve 3 spots than just saying we have those 3 because the rest of the region is bad.

Brazil shouldn't be a separate region in the first place, it's dumb as fuck. If EU, CIS and TR can be one region so can BR and LATAM, hell Brazil is in LATAM.

For the competitive scene, it could be, but there's a huge discussion over it, since Brazil has better structure and better pay than the rest of the region and other points. We are in LATAM, but we don't speak Spanish and we were colonized by Portugal instead of Spain ;P

What is this screwed up logic? Look at the numbers, look at past performance, why are you so afraid to address the truth that Brazil has been performing pretty horrifically in the international stage? The amount of opportunity they are given to play on the international stage is no way justifiable, especially considering there are other regions who have consistently performed better than Brazil and are still getting less international recognition by Riot.

3 - Our viewership has an average 20-30k per stream and we barely had t1 organizations with teams in valorant and now orgs like nip, loud (who brought a huge viewership and new players) and Los grandes (again another freefire organization who were putting 20-40k in their match at closed qualifies).

Every map you showed here is a rough aproximation, it still isn't an exact map, because, again, by a mathematical statement, "perfect" maps for a 2D surface of a sphere don't exist.

And yes, Brazil is very big, but I don't understand what are you trying to say with that.

I agree that "EMEA is half of the words" is a debatable statement, but it is still massive enough in playerbase to be given only 3 spots

I don't see it as a problem, it makes competition greater and the only ones that goes to masters are the greatest teams.
Probably in BR will happen the same, with VK going or Loud. No matter wich one goes we will be well represented.

Not what heppened in the last masters where the 2° seed kinda sucked.

Even if we doesn't have big population as you guys in servers is just because we are 3rd world countrys, kinda funny asking for population when most of Brazil can't even afford a PC and puts Insane numbers of viewship in every match. Literally an Org that didn't even qualify for the Closed putted 40k+ in viewship. And Loud that played against MIBR putted 200K+ in total of views of the match in twitch.

If BR was a developed country we would probably put even Greater Numbers. But BR get nerfed as a hole for mf and idiots that are always in power.

I'm not saying anything against Brazil as a region
All I'm saying is that 2 spots is more than enough to be well represented. I mean, look at it this way: you are getting roughly the same spots (3) as Europe+CIS+TR+Africa+Middle East man

What about North Africa and Middle East "rights" to be represented? What about turkey? What about CIS? What about europe as an independent region?

Literally you answered your own question, Europe has Teams as a Hole.

We don't ask about
"What about Uruguay? What about Chile, what about Argentina, what about Mexico?"

In our region only the top Teams play, If SA were more populated even in that way wouldn't matter because the only ones that classify are the top Teams.

What question am I answering?

Europe doesn't have teams as a whole because we are sharing spots with Turkey, CIS, North Africa and Middle East! That's precisely what I'm saying!

Why 4 for BR+LATAM but not 2 for Europe, 2 for CIS, 2 for TR, 2 for North Africa or 2 for Middle East?!

You are defending YOUR spots but not the ones for other regions. All you said to me was something like: in Brazil we have worse infrastructure so we deserve every single one of the spots. Hmmkay man

I understand your frustration but this map is very misleading, greenland for being 2 million sq.km. has only 56k people living on it and apac has india and china in it. these 2 countries combines have a population of 2.5 billion. and you compete with people in an e-sport not with how big the region is geographically.

The EMEA region includes more than 100 countries, whose citizens collectively speak more than two thousand native languages. The EMEA region's total population size totals between 2.1 and 2.2 billion people. This is less than 1/3rd of the global population.

Also your map is wrong.
