I mean just imagine
yes but explain it with more details bro, Gambit donated a lot of guns + equipments to russian army so that Russians could invade ukraine and get into Na'Vi HQ. and kidnap ANGE1 so their roster would've been the best (best at being last).
Has nothing to do with the players though, they shouldn't be blamed for it.
It's not just politics but also money all country's against Russia don't want to be associated with potentially funding Russia ie. Russian team wins champs gets the prize money and gets taxed by the russian government which effectively funds their war I agree politics shouldn't have any part in games but if the reason is to not be associated with funding a war that I do agree
hmm maybe, but then even riot gets taxed and that money goes into wars right
Your not wrong but that goes into the Americans pockets so they don't mind so much I guess kinda stupid really isn't it lol

You can get an Armenian org Virtus.pro and a Serbian org Spirit to the league but unluko we have irrelevant teams like KOI/APEKS/M8/GIA
I get what you're saying and I agree that war should not be funded, but, if that was the reason, the whole VCT CN wouldn't exist. Ultimately, for the orgs it's about not being seen as war funders rather than actually funding or not funding the war.
And after typing allat I just realised I basically said what you said lol
politics run the world lmao. when its a game at home yeah but when ur organizing events on a global scale it all matters
Learn your history Europe didn't start the world war Hitler started ww2 and gaveilo princep started ww1 yes they happened in Europe but Europe didn't declare war on the world it became a world war when pretty much every one got involved and politics were hostile for ww1, ww2 was a German war against the world when they tried invading Europe, I get what your trying to say but maybe use a different way of phrasing it for an argument
Ps. I was only trying to explain why Russia most likely have been banned from being able to host or have russian orgs in valorant I'm against war my self
I wouldn't think so only 3 of the 5 are still in tier 1, one has been in tier 2 since leaving gambit and the other has in the last year got let go by giants org and I don't think has resurfaced since but would be pretty cool if they did
VISA, and russian global organizations getting sanctioned are all contributing factors of russia not having an own team
nah, a lot of russian orgs have moved to serbia/armenia for operations
it's just that there's no league for them to play in (assuming they think tier 2 valorant is a good investment in the first place)
its on riot for not having a cis league over politics
They used to have one called Gambit. But because of how close they are to the government. They got banned in most esports, so they disbanded.
The rest just doesn't have a val team.
No Russian orgs but there's Russian players all over the scene anyways.
XLG coach is Russian and said in his qualifying interview he's playing for Russia and China.🤷♂️ What's Riot going to do.
russia getting shafted, otherwise the russians would have made the god roster
A russian team would absolutely dominate valorant, Riot is using the war as an excuse to prevent them from taking over
