bro you know we're talking player base for each region not the freaking population
riot fucked it, there's no fucking way NA and EU have 6 slots
and APAC has 6 SLOTS
apac has 4 which is reasonable as they have the same playerbase as EU but still SA has also 4??
https://www.vlr.gg/event/1015/valorant-champions-2022 it only shows for east asia and apac, SA means south america
apac combined with oce + sea + south asia
the only one that doesnt make any sense is the east asia slots
STILL the fact that BR is separated from LATAM is more bullshit imo
my brudda thinks playerbase matter, we all know our regions are third world countries. with balance system its only a matter of time that esports will be more recognized here as unpolished gem, and more new players will be attracted. riot strategy.
p.s: same as china. its only a matter of time for player base will growing there
i would love for that to happen but rn for champs they should put into consideration the current player base
They combined East Asia and APAC LCQ last year, but this year China is joining. It's fair to give them a more manageable chance at least.
Don't know much about their level, but KR or JP will probably still get the slot.
why did ASIA get 6 slots? cuz we have China now entering the valo scene, they keep running local tournaments even though Riot doesn't support them. give them a chance bruh, u want this game die in Asia to like CS did before ? cmon bro
Area, indonesia alone is the size of whole europe. 6 slots of APAC is a combination of East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Oceania (whole other continent).
sigh, i just mentioned it doesn't matter how much area or people u have if they're not playing the game
so it's based on PLAYER BASE PLAYER BASE
PEOPLE PLAYING VALORANT NOT THE NUMBER OF BABIES AND PARENTS
Think of it this way, riot divided APAC into 2 just like Americas and give them both equal opportunity, 3 slots just like other regions except LATAM.
think of it this way riot divided EMEA into multiple regions with TURKEY( that according to 2021 stats has the 3rd biggest player base) and CIS and didn't give them any slots like unlike other regions
so how is this fair?
so what do u think matters ? big region ? EMEA/NA ? why u think ur region big region huh ? it doesn't make sense to call region minor or big region, where littery this is a new game and this game hasn't even been running for 2 years
APAC here means the entirety of Asia. You do know how large the whole region is, right ? If China starts playing this game probably, they alone will probably get 3 seeds.
huh? where are the chinese slots? do you understand what i'm talking about ? india is so fucking huge why don't they have 3 slots to themselves?
ur logic is very dumb, we're talking about the current player base not world population or 2025 expectations
where are the chinese slots? that why riot give APAC and East Asia separated for China to qualif
Listen:
all the slots were decided before masters 1 so loud performance in m1 didnt affect these slots and so this was decided prob after champs where there was emea domination
NA has 3 slots: this is good
East Asia (Japan, Korea, China) has 3 slots: this is good based on the performance of this region
APAC has 3 slots: good based on performance and population
EMEA has 3 slots: WTH, it should have 4 why does SA get the slot
SA has 4 slots: tf, like leviatan, loud, and one winner from like sa lcq (kru,nip,vivokeyd or something) is good but 2 LCQ winner slots. NAH MAN NAH
Latam & BR needs to be a combined region. the slots allocations really bs. Both regions doesn't even have any effect in pings when playing online whatsoever. Unlike APAC with SEA/OCE teams playing with 100 pings against Indians
there is an effect in ping in latam wdym, you are just talking out of your ass
way bigger difference, it might not look like it in normal maps but europe is small af, south america is huge and thats not even taking into account the fact there is north latam teams playing who would get 150+ ping against southern teams, if you dont host everything on lan then there it has to be like this because online would be impossible
its just weird for me since most other esports have BR and LATAM regions combined. and they always play online fine. example: Dota, R6, CS
because its only southern latam teams so its fine, dota is just peruvians, r6 its all brazil and maybe some argentinians if lucky and cs is just argentinians, those countries all get good ping to brazil, its different if its colombia or even latam north countries, distance from chile capital to colombia capital is 4,446 km, thats more than new delhi to singapore distance which is 4152 km, totally not acceptable conditions for vct, and dont get me strated on if a team is from chile/argentina and the other is from mexico, then its just not just bad ping but impossible
still doesnt change the fact the preferential treatment for brazil is huge from riot. just like how they've done to Korea and Japan (even the east asia lcq only have 1 spot with china included) . Separated region can only mean Brazil will have a chance to get 3 slots ALONE for champions.
Stems from the fact BR is basically the last region playing CSGO other than EU/CIS.
Riot was trying to promote it there because BR was not up to expectations last champions. They wanted to have a contender from there, judging from its hypothetical potential.
Turns out Riot doesn't have to try so much after all. Regions are quite balanced in VLR. South America, as of now, deserves 3 seeds at best imo.
dont get me strated on if a team is from chile/argentina and the other is from mexico, then its just not just bad ping but impossible
Why would anyone get you started with such a stupid take? (besides yourself I suppose) Read that again, slowly.. and remember you're talking about the continent of South America. Mexico would be in the region of their own continent.
yes, imagine a team from chile playing from santiago against a team from colombia, would be terrible and also internet is awful in south america
yes, maybe in the future if they add more servers in different countries and the region develops their internet conecction so there is more choices so for example a team from north latam and one from south latam could maybe play in a central server located in panama or something like that
44 country in Euro
2 country Turkey and Russia in Eurasia
54 country in Africa
14 country in Middle East
Total 114 Country in EMEA
Country pcs 114/206 (%54)
Population 2.200.000.000/ 7.900.000.000 (%30) "2nd after Asia"
It is has only 3 slot
12 country in South America
Population 650.000.000 (%8)
and It is has 4 slot
because they are afraid of giving europe too much slots, they dont want it to become like cs so they prefer to fuck europe and give their slots to others, the fact south america gets 4 slots at champions while europe only gets 3 is so funny
It’s because riot wants to give preference to minor regions. Emea won all the esports trophies while apac has not won a single trophy in esports. They need some assistance so they get 6 slots vs 3.
Yup, it's fucking hilarious that NA get 3 ok EU get 3 ok then south america has FOUR. How many players does SA even have
It's absurd.
You said turkey and Middle East as separate things, and almost no one in Africa plays. So it’s basically EU
SA = Loud, LEV, KRU,... ? 4th team will be trash, 3 slots was perfect
If you see playoffs, in BR Loud always win comfortably and in LATAM the only struggle is between LEV/KRU. All other BR and LATAM teams get stomped
it's ok. the game is pretty much dying in europe we can only thank riot for constantly undermining us.
I don't even know what sort of motivation do these EU teams have to compete in such a difficult league with such low viewership only for THREE teams to actually make it to LAN (the entire year). Can't wait to see all the EU orgs pull the plug on this riot cesspool.
