Group stage is bo3, playoffs are single elim, everything will be played on lan. I don't see anything in favour of EWC being mickey
EWC is not mickey

it’s okay bro, EMEA can have this one, it’s the only thing they can win anyway
shrike- [#2]it’s okay bro, EMEA can have this one, it’s the only thing they can win anyway
A trophy is a trophy bud
It’s Mickey because it’s an off season tourney placed in the middle of the year
tubelight [#3]A trophy is a trophy bud
We know bro, you can have it. EMEA can have their dinner plate, the other better regions gotta prep for champs
wawawwawawawawawa [#7]"playoffs are single elim" IS mickey.
By your logic every cs major is mickey?
trikecycle [#5]It’s Mickey because it’s an off season tourney placed in the middle of the year
So masters are mickey as well because they are played in middle of the year?
Ranger45 [#11]i like mickey mouse🥺🥰
So u don't like EWC because it's not mickey?
100% agree
everyone else here is an EMEA hater and can't stand the fact that they won a tournament and have been the best region since July 2025. they're all coping
Well one team already has a coach subbing in and we don't know which other teams are playing with subs, and the winner of the most recent masters won't be there, sounds like mickey mouse to me
tubelight [#10]So masters are mickey as well because they are played in middle of the year?
did you miss where I said it’s an off season tourney
tubelight [#10]So masters are mickey as well because they are played in middle of the year?
r u the human version of mobile game ads or what

it's funny seeing emea fans spreading ewc propaganda, only to end up with another trophy for amercias/pacific

EMEA has Zero top three placements this year.
EMEA lowkey bunzzz rn, last year they were good tho
LugiaVLR [#24]nrg's bum ahh is getting grouped that's for sure
True for sure, bigger fluke than acend
people swear they want to see more 3rd party tournaments but then say the 1 actual tournament we get is "mickey mouse"
LugiaVLR [#24]nrg's bum ahh is getting grouped that's for sure
BBL can probably win because EMEA only tries when it doesn’t matter
tubelight [#9]By your logic every cs major is mickey?
No. Your logic is flawed because you have to point to another esport to support it. This is valorant and every vct tournament has been double elim. If the tradition in CS is Single elim then go ahead but we're not talking about CS, are we?

every vct tournament has been double elim

Americas won 2 events in the time frame you’re claiming btw
tubelight [#30]every vct tournament has been double elim

Point still stands. Lock//In is the exception to the overall rule that double elims have been more or less the norm since partnership. If Lock//In was so great then why didnt Riot do it again? I'm talking about tradition here and you point out the single tournament that broke tradition but didn't happen ever again.
AhhhYuhhh [#27]people swear they want to see more 3rd party tournaments but then say the 1 actual tournament we get is "mickey mouse"
Wanting to see more 3rd party tournaments does not equate to valuing them the same as the regular circuit.
turon25 [#33]Wanting to see more 3rd party tournaments does not equate to valuing them the same as the regular circuit.
nobody is saying to act like its Masters or Champs level though.

3 tournaments a year. actual joke of an esport.

But it did happen, that's what matters and no, ur point doesn't stand when u need to make exceptions here and there
tubelight [#41]But it did happen, that's what matters and no, ur point doesn't stand when u need to make exceptions here and there
Exceptions occur in nature. But if you're gonna tell me that EWC is valid despite its format when there are more examples of Valorant tourneys being Double Elim, then idk what to tell you. The delusion from EMEA fans trying so hard to make EWC a thing when the solid consensus among the community is that it isn't is striking. Maybe you're just using it as a coping mechanism because you can't win shit in the regular circuit that you need to suck Saudi Arabia's cock to win.
wawawwawawawawawa [#7]"playoffs are single elim" IS mickey.
the world cup is mickey 😢 another L for pessi 🥀
tubelight [#9]By your logic every cs major is mickey?
if that's how they do it and how they've always done it they can feel free to keep doing it, i don't really care i don't follow cs. but double elim is objectively better for competitive integrity than single elim in every way.

Double map ban, more rest time, more footage to study ur opponents is not objectively better but sure whatever you say

oh mb that must be a bug. I only meant to send it once, much like your mother meant to send you to heaven

shrike- [#28]BBL can probably win because EMEA only tries when it doesn’t matter
trying to win a multi million dollar tournament in a sport that doesn't make a lot of money definitely matters, not everyone is funded by a country's military
tubelight [#26]True for sure, bigger fluke than acend
acend beat the 2 best teams of the year during their champs run and you’re calling it mickey
acend’s champs run is the only one that WASNT mickey
non-vct tournament = mickey tournament, its how it works in a 1st party run esport. Same thing with the league community not giving a shit about EWC bc they already have first stand, MSI and Worlds
tubelight [#26]True for sure, bigger fluke than acend
woah woah hey hey acend beat gambit envy and liquid which were arguably top 3 teams back then
shesh_ [#50]acend beat the 2 best teams of the year during their champs run and you’re calling it mickey
acend’s champs run is the only one that WASNT mickey
No no. Acend's champs win was the most fraudulent win in VCT history. They lost to Vivo Keyd

Super_Devvik7 [#53]No no. Acend's champs win was the most fraudulent win in VCT history. They lost to Vivo Keyd
"lost to Vivo Keyd"
How is it Acend's fault that JhoW didn't read the rule book?
Acend had one of the most deserving wins. Beat ENVY (which is the OPTIC 2022 roster), beat TEAM LIQUID (better than SEN and KRU 2021), beat GAMBIT (best team of 2021)
JonahPork [#31]Americas won 2 events in the time frame you’re claiming btw

is it even bait or is it having a lobotomy
It's not a mickey tournament objectively. No need to argue with idiots who don't provide any logical counter-argument. When AMERICAS wins EWC 2026, most will suddenly consider it a non-mickey tournament as they should.

They lost to Vivo Keyd. They beat a covid affected Envy (most of their team was sick). They beat a team that choked. They beat their scrim buddies.

nice ragebait attempt,try harder next time

Yea because both of those were actual 12 team masters not some fluke ass EWC tourney Saudimain377
The fact that LEV (currently the best team - Master London Winner) is not competing there is really concerning.

0dw0rd g0m0ng is going out 0-2
unlike London, EDG doesnt have 50 extra years to prep vs other teams (Riot loves rigging tournaments for China). China will be exposed at EWC.
