Why NA deserves 6 spots

#1

Icysoda57

We produce the best content, draw the most views, have the most clouted personalities in Valorant, and that’s the truth.

I saw a Brazilian before say “wait till FURIA fuck all of NA teams” I think he’s forgotten FURIA has yet to beat a single NA team…

Doesn’t matter when Riot looks at financials, content, and views.

I mean look at Acend, they’re the previous Champions 2021 winners and I don’t think they’ll be accepted into franchising. Riot doesn’t care how many times you’ve attended their events or even if you have attended their events. It’s all based on if your org is worth putting into their ecosystem.

Yeah, but your region wants 7 or 8 spots. 5 is the best

my point is "strong teams" isnt what Riot cares abt. even Optic the best team of the year probably wont make it. they give zero fucks abt "strong teams"

But it is very likely that some of the teams already have negotiations with this optic line. About ORGS, I assure you that FURIA and LOUD are one of the biggest in the world. We still have NIP, Gamelanders, MIBR.

And probably NIP won't make it, according to the news
Gamelanders has as much financial power as a possible sixth NA org

ok just dont talk about "strong teams" shit then. thats all.

It's actually an equation between the financial and the project (staff, players)

If I am a billionaire and say that my team will be 5 bronze, I will not be accepted. So yes, in-game is important in the decision.

but if you are a trillionaire and gets 1mil views every game you can get away with 5 bronzes

You are totally fantasizing. Yes, riot is thinking about investing, after all, this is a franchise. But it's not so literal, to the point of only importing the money and whatever the team. Obviously in this situation that you assumed, they would not be accepted.

Obviously the situation you said "5 bronze" would never happen either. And I wasnt literal when I said "they dont care abt teams being strong". Not to the point where they accept bronze players. I just exaggerated to prove ur point wrong just like you did.

Admit it or not, NA orgs are the most reliable options for RIOT so I would be surprised if NA doesn't get 6 spots then one of the NA orgs can go pick up a SA roster or a mixed roster. That would be the best outcome for viewership and competition.

NA deserves 6- only reasoning here is T1 basically takes one away giving NA 4 real spots. T1 should be a part of KR (5 slots, way more than they should get imo).

Bom no NA só um time se destacou neste ano que foi a OPTIC. E na Champions o "NA" teve 3 times (OPTIC, XSET e 100T) enquanto na região BR teve apenas a LOUD (sem contar com o LATAM). 100T não passou da fase de grupos. XSET foi eliminada na Lower Round e a OPTIC foi eliminada pela LOUD. De acordo com o ano sim a OPTIC conseguiu melhores colocações em campeonatos, mas a loud foi superior no champions conseguiu a sua revanche contra a optic e só perdeu contra a kru. Eu não acho que o NA merece 6 vagas mas apenas 3, 3, 3 para ser mais justo. Pois o LATAM é muito forte (KRU, LEVIATAM + outro),
BRASIL (LOUD, FURIA, MIBR OU NIP) E NA (OPTIC, THE GUARD, SENTILES).

Well in NA, only one team stood out this year and that was OPTIC. And in Champions the "NA" had 3 teams (OPTIC, XSET and 100T) while in the BR region there was only LOUD (not counting the LATAM). 100T didn't make it past the group stage. XSET was dropped in the Lower Round and OPTIC was dropped by LOUD. According to the year yes, OPTIC got better places in championships, but loud was superior in champions got their rematch against optic and only lost against kru. I don't think NA deserves 6 spots but only 3, 3, 3 to be fair. For the LATAM is very strong (KRU, LEVIATAM + another),
BRASIL (LOUD, FURIA, MIBR OR NIP) AND NA (OPTIC, THE GUARD, SENTILES**).

stop crying boy
you will have the same number of teams as Brazil and Latam combined, plus your teams will have better scrims than ours, which is a clear advantage when it talks about Ascension
