Dallas, New York, Boston or LA Again.
All respect to china but i dont think another event should be held here ever again

sounds like cope like expecting home crowds not to cheer for home teams is wild
Not about home crowds but if riot constantly hold events in china every year it just shows they are a sell out
biggest esports scene in the world. this year seems like they just growing globally look at the locations spain, china and korea they have reallyyy big esports scene look at league and u can see it for china and korea and idk about spain but they seem big
The best locations to host Valorant events are Istanbul,Los Angeles,Paris,Tokyo,Soul,Shanghai and Sao Paulo I think
I didn’t watch Madrid so don’t really know the crowd
madrid was ok. of course they supported the EMEA and latin American teams like that's normal. there were an extraordinarily high amount of Sen fans though which was again expected cause SEn has fans in both Europe and Americas(not saying they don't have fans in APAC but not to the same extent as EU or AM)
the crowd reactions to clutches and stuff like that were pretty good and it was honestly a pretty decent crowd. the best crowd has to be tokyo though cause those dudes really hyped the game regardless of whether it was their favorites or their opponents
If there are 3 international events every year, then we won't have an event in China every year, assuming they're doing rotations.
i don’t think that, But Champs should probably be held in america over most regions. or held in Europe or some shit.
i just don’t think another event should be here 👍🏽
I agree not china again for a while personally would love a masters or champs in London next year
100% agree. It's roughly in the middle, so it works out best for timezones I think. Also has a lot of really really good host city candidates.
Trust me it does not work for timezones, 2am start of day ain't it chief
right when 30% ( most of all the regions ) i think you should somewhat center your time zone around them. the reason there’s only been 1 event in NA is because how long it takes to get a visa.
its called a visa u cunt, your immigration is dogshit if u gonna enter "legally"..There is a whole moistcritical video yapping dis
maybe london def no shangai paris or sao paulo those areas crowds are to biased
New York would be a pretty good time zone for everyone if they start the matches at 5pm EST
not really, at least if it’s in New York people in Pacific can watch in the morning (starting at like 6am in Korea/Japan). if it’s in london then you either have to start super early, which messes things up for Americas viewers, or force Pacific viewers to stay up past midnight
most people in Asia have shit to do during the week at 6-7 am so you might as well say APAC are gonna wake up super early in the morning on weekends if they wanna catch a single match
yeah that’s kinda the point. i’m assuming it’s better for them to wake up a bit early than to stay up late. and if they have to work in the morning then they probably couldn’t afford to stay up late with the london time anyway
i mean the onlyway apac gets good times for matches is if a match is hosted there tbh even london with a very centralised timezone (GMT+2:00) would end up with bas times for APAC; and when it is hosted in APAC the times are horrible for everyone else
Asia has two regions (China and APAC), which are the two largest markets for esports - every seat in Shanghai is fully booked, for example. That means everyone in these regions gets good times, as well as OCE. That's a good solution for a huge proportion of people who are not adequately represented by VLR posters.l
if it’s not In USA it’s probably going to be In Europe or Korea next year. maybe even back to tokyo
2021: EMEA
2022: EMEA
2023: AMER
2024: APAC
2025: ???
Can't imagine them holding it in APAC twice in a row
Champions London decided.
Remember: Korea host LOL MSI 2022 - LOL Worlds 2023 - Champions 2024
London host LOL MSI 2023 - LOL Worlds 2024, then Champions 2025
No, literally no, any country EXCEPT the US, your immigration system is fucked and the visas are Dogshit. Fucking nuked Argentina would be better
i’m not gonna talk politics on here but there’s literally a event being held in china rn.
I not saying americas immigration system is the best but if you’re gonna be on that typing keep the same energy for other country’s.
And that’s why i said champs gives you a whole year basically to get a visa.
nah bruh sry but we never hear bout these crazy visa issues in the other countries that have hosted and champs LA was too recent i think for there to be another champs in NA
what crazy visa issues lol. Champs LA and Tokyo were like the best 2 events to actually watch.
loud struggled to get back home to play split 1 no other teams had those problems when they had to get back home; and why u bringing up tokyo when no one was talking bout that lol
i brought up tokyo because tokyo and LA we’re last year and no one would be upset if another event was held either locations for next year even if recent.
And the situation with loud was just unfortunate, but that’s just a one time thing and dosent happen often.
That is cause those countries have proper channels for event hosting. China is not an argument because yes, it's restrictive, but because it's restrictive, this mustve been on schedule for LOOONG time. Also, Tencent is powerful IN China. Riot has no power on the USA
Sydney, London, Dallas, NYC, Paris, Rio, or Singapore could all be really cool cities for a masters/champs
You know riot is owned by tencent right a Chinese corp? They can do whatever the fuck they want. Could be looking at Champs chengdu really quickly.
please no more tournaments in china, time zone is shit, the client not having most of the good skins is shit, venue is shit, crowd is mid...
" the client not having most of the good skins is shit"
wtf? did they ban the skins or what
idk, I think most of the skins just aren't released yet on that client, like the neptune set only recently released, derke said no glitchpop vandal on the chinese client and ata kaptan + another fut player always used the reaver karambit and are now using other knifes for no reason
I think it'll be an NA master event and champs will be in south America probably
Ik this is kinda weird but having a valorant event in a legendary CS City like Katowice or colonge would be kinda sick
And imo 2026 should be held in Singapore, Jakarta or Saigon
Helsinki, Warsaw or Antalya could be good shouts for Champions, most centralized timezones and a decent fanbase, as well as having decent visas
Argentina or Chile would be cool since besides Lock/in south america didnt have any big event yet, but will suck for asia
2022 in emea(Istanbul), 2023 in amercia(LA), 2024 in the Pacific(seoul), and 2025 will most likely be in China.
no brainer it should be held in EU cause the timezone is the best for all regions
master singapore/jakarta/bangkok
master miami/LA/vegas
champion shanghai/beijing/HK/macau/guangzhou
I don't get the hate towards the APAC locations. The world isn't just EU and NA. Those guys messed their sleep schedule up for other events, so I don't see why it's so wrong to give that audience some VCT events.
i think it should be SA, the last event there was Lockin, wich would be 2.5 years before champs 2025
