Master Seoul? (Nah, seoul is probably reserved for champs)
A master at an SEA country would be cool tho, jakarta, manila, kuala lumpur. Maybe give the OCE boys some love too. Just don’t host it at India (no hate but tech pause goes wild)

Who said SEA has larger viewership? , Just check the T2 numbers... India's final in 2025 got around 60k peak viewers..... South east asia one didnt even got 10k lol.... Check your facts before you blabber anything

last time i checked masters are held for tier 1 teams not tier 2

india's final got that viewership cuz the players were indian

Then why SEA didnt get viewers from SEA when players were from SEA?... Do you think these guys only watch T2 valorant?

cuz people in general don't watch the tier 2 scene, in case of india, since they have no representation in tier 1, tier 2 is the only place to watch their own players

also, all the top 5 most watched games in stage 1 were prx, whose biggest audience is sea

The most watched game was prx vs GE if im not wrong.

Because we have six concurrent regional streams. Those streams spread the viewership equally.

But still even if i include the SEA split 1, the peak viewership is still lower than Indian region.

Because you're cherry picking a 2025 Grand Final, Ascension Qualifier event compared to SEA Split 1 which is an in-season tournament.

India doesn't bring as much viewership as you think in val lol. Val isn't pubgm. Prx and then japanese teams and indo teams bring in the most viewership usually in apac.

Do you know when last time ascension was held in jakarta they messed up with dietary habits of the players? but everyone looks over that incident because players were Indians.

Seoul already got champs. It's not getting another champs for at least next 3-4 years most likely. It will be some sea country like Singapore for sure which gets a masters or champs in near future. They gotta capitalize that prx and sea fanbase there. Could return to Japan too. Masters Osaka or Kyoto. Sapporo would be cool if the crowd is as good as apex legends.

  • Could be in Jakarta, cause Jake Sin was spotted in Jakarta with ministry of tourism.
  • I’d like to see OCE get an event, but CS hasn’t killed the OCE scene like they did with Asia, OCE fans need to convert to valorant.
  • As for India, I remember seeing a content from SA creator on when India will get a masters event, Jake Sin responded if GE won a masters/champs event then he’ll make it happen. So if GE not winning any international, no masters event for India.

I doubt India would get a master event even if GE win master. A regional events like finals in HCM, maybe.

He might as well talk about possible future things in Jakarta while he was there. Why talk about 1 specific thing only?

Well idk if it would be masters/champs but definitely

  • Delhi, India
  • New York, US
  • Rome, Italy
  • Dubai, UAE
  • Houston/Dallas/(Austin?), US

It baffles me we haven't done any of these cities/countries but we'll gladly repeat Shanghai?

India won’t get Masters event directly for sure, but they will definitely get it some day. They’ll probably get a roadshow event first like HCM and then masters. India has the required infrastructure already to host a big international events it has even hosted Dreamhack in the past. I see lot of people complaining about tech pauses, it’s just VCT Pacific where tech pauses are shorter it happens everywhere else, watch VCT EMEA someday, you’ll notice lol. Jokes aside, the events you’ve seen so far were off season events and not Riot’s own production, I’ve been to a couple of masters events and I’ve noticed that for internationals they usually have their own production to deliver the same quality every time
