need London,Warsaw,Rome,Amsterdam
honestly if russia wasnt controverstial, Moscow would be very good
knowing riot , they will probably just go to manila,Jakarta,Beijing,Somewhere in USA
to me it was, i mean were else in europe would it be held? it's somewhere where there hasn't been a tournament yet, that's a good developed country/convenient location to travel to, and where there's gonna be representation among players(boaster, benjy, keiko)
how exactly would that change? i doubt the top teams would suddenly change players, meaning the teams that actually have good chances of qualifying to the masters tournament (liquid, fnatic, heretics). a one italian bipo in gentlemates or some other team wouldnt really do shit to change anything.
so true. I wish they had an event in bucharest as well so I can watch it live
M1-Hartford CT (so I can go while at Uni)
M2-Providence RI (so I can go while at work during the summer)
Champs-Boston, MA (so I can go while at home)
Bro's gonna go to Trinity during the day and then watch EDG beat DRX at night
boston Champs would be so peak bro, imagine grands in the fucking garden, and you have like 7 gazillion good colleges filled with nerds who like valorant who will show up + all the college hockey arenas you could use for your non-grands matches
london might be too expensive to host a VCT tournament in. idk if valorant is big enough for that yet. idk how much riot spent for champions paris but it must be a hefty amount but i still think that a tournament in london would cost more because the stadiums and locations in london and everything else that goes into running a tournament on that scale is generally astronomically expensive in london.
THIS IS WHAT YOU ASKED FOR HEAVY IS THE CROWN FIRE IN THE SUNRISE ASHES RAINING DOWN
context please? i have been a grass toucher for the last week and i havent been following VCT information.
Masters 1 - London, UK
Masters 2 - Manila, Phillipines
Champions 2026 - Chengdu, China (already mentioned)
Think Londons too much of a popular location for just a masters. The venue prices would be insane
they could pull a tokyo and host it an hour away and still call it masters london
Shouldn't it be the other way round? More expensive should mean less matches which is basically what the first Masters is
Is Manila really that bad, or is it just you shitting on your hometown for fun lol
There have been major Esports events that took place in Manila, so I thought it wouldn't be a bad decision to host a Masters there. Also would be great for the Filipino Valorant fanbase, and maybe TS will take some motivation from it and actually play good to qualify for it
the city of Manila and Metro Manila (the region) are different. the city of Manila itself is terrible, awful traffic, all around dirty, etc. There are good places in Metro Manila. My concern is simply that internet speeds are lackluster, the traffic and transport options are terrible. I have a few guesses for which place they can host a valorant tourney there and they're all within super high density, high traffic areas.
Champs in china is guaranteed, right?
Masters1: Chile
Masters2: Britain
Champs: China
i don't think they will do a tourney in EMEA since they get Champs this year but idk since we had Seoul and Bangkok back to back with Shanghai before that
China champs is pretty much confirmed the other locations are not
They are due a master's in LATAM and then the other master's can be anywhere maybe in Australia or eastern Europe
Yes, China Champs is already confirmed. No clue about other tournaments though
Masters Katowice would be fucking cinema, especially because IEM are moving to Krakow
Would be sick to get something in South America (just not Brazil because unless MIBR or Loud are there there will be NO ONE in the arena)
Champs is already confirmed in China, I reckon Shanghai would probably be the best option
champ 2026 is the same as 2024 msi and s15 in chengdu, as champ 2025 is same as 2023 msi and s14 in paris
Give us Masters Delhi 💔🙏 i would 100% go watch and I know many indian fans would watch too
M1:Amsterdam
M2:Istanbul (very cheap option to organize a tournament)
Champions:London
well chengdu is confirmed, no way beijing, as the champ 2026 should be the same place as 2024 msi and s15.
didnt think they'd go the berlin route and give the same city a masters and champs in such a short timespan
fair enough those were weird times, according to a leak champs 2021 was originally supposed to be in la but then covid
yeah, regardless I had hear rumors of masters santiago online and kind of went with it. Also knew masters 2 was in EMEA so kinda guessed one out of the many cities they havent gone to (madrid, berlin, copenhagen, reyjkavik, paris, Istanbul were all done so the next biggest one that comes straight to mind is London). Last one ofc beijing is the capital so I chose that (ended up getting this wrong)
nah imagine in New Zealand bro. if it can be in iceland then surely new zealand
my realistic picks
london, jakarta, manilla, rome, stockholm, buenos aries, bucharest (though less likely with ukraine war)
unrealistic
warsaw, seattle, lima, cairo, hanoi, taipei, sydney
masters warsaw
masters montreal (i want to go to another one)
champs hong kong
am i cooking?
I don't agree with Miami its kind of overrated and there are so many better cities on the gulf/east coast.
