i swear to god the only reason why china was made into a region is because they have huge viewership but its so friggin bad that chinese teams would never qualify for any lan if they competed in pacific its not even fun watching the same shit every international chinese teams going instantly 0-2 and WE KNOW IT WILL BE THE SAME EVERY YEAR THATS WHY NOBODY WATCHES VCT CHINA OUTSIDE OF CHINA seriously it makes 0 sense turkey has more right to be its own region
relegate china

money talks bro, esports revenue is insane in china
Also Tencent is Chinese so that makes sense too
on top of the fact that it's dogshit everywhere else there's no financial incentive for riot to relegate china anytime soon
if anything they're only getting more slots
Why are we comparing CN to APAC, Janitor vs 47 cruise missiles ahh comparison
turkey has more right to be its own region
Highkey turkey would end up being the exact same as china in literally every way you could think of
turkey would have 200x worse performance and 1/1000th of the viewership and profit
APAC used to be where china is today
couldnt win, only 1-2 good teams every international in DRX PRX
look at APAC now
CN just needs time to catch up
they should just have 1 slot and give the other two to apac and americas.
let the stage winner be the solo cn representative
if you give 1 slot to china they will never catch up to other regions
riot is planning for a future where CN gets good (pretty much inevitable imo)
it will be the year 2667 and valorant is long dead but you know china still gonna be asss
same 3 slots with 3 deadbeat teams that will go 0-2 in groups and playoffs as usual
The argument there is that you want to give as much Chinese teams international experience so they become vets and hopefully become better; hard to do that if you’re gated from getting said experience in the first place.
its always the same story for 3 years now tho
" cn is good they just need time to catch up"
"they look primed up for internationals this time"
"they learned from their mistakes"
"we have a superstar that's been frying here in regionals"
always the same story, same excuse, and yet no change in results
they're doing the opposite of catching up literally edg was carrying this sorry ass region at the start and now not even that
they don't even seem like they know what they are doing to be fair, they just look like actual paycheck collectors
i mean if the pay is that good then i'd embarass myself in front of the world as well
Leo faria said in Platchat that they dont want to end up like CS and League where one region dominates, so they want to give equal slots
In CS, brazil/south america gives tough competition to EU
Mongolz also a tier1 team and they won the last EWC of CS
It's just the player base and popularity of CS in EU/russia is too fkin big that other regions can't compete but I would say EU in CS is not as dominant as it was few years ago, CS is full of international mixed teams and not national/regional teams like in Valorant
then china desevers its spot too, edg won 2024champs and top3 in bangkok, wolves came top3 in toronto
This esports would die in upcoming years without China. Riot needs China money to sustain this esports.
without china the game dies and they already won a international once the region has open quals next year the teams will be a lot better the biggest issue was how fast they went into franchising because many frauds kept jobs for too long
