It is cope if you say EWC does matter. I wouldn't argue that it’s on par with a masters event. The production is shit and the actual format this year will be terrible as well.
Edit- EWC bots have found this post and working overtime upvoting and downvoting 😭😭😭
speaks for itself when you compare playing seriously in a tournament to drug trafficking
Esports and drug trafficking both are high risk high reward and no job security, ur point?
what the hally is that argument?! how tf can you even put these to examples in one sentense??
What a preposterous thing to say.
No one gives a shit about ewc money isn't everything.
2025 was a single elim 1 map matches played on 40 ping.
Idk if I'd go so far as preposterous. Sure the format in 2025 was shit and the format in 2026 is only a little better but any team that wins is going to see that as a huge victory. Money isn't "everything" but it is the most important thing to any org.
Ethics over money bud, u can go find a job if money is that important to u
Idk in what scenario winning this tournament is unethical and I have a job so I dont care to find one. If somehow a poorly orchestrated tournament increases your opinion about a host then you're an idiot anyways.
bro thinks he is morally superior to us by not watching/caring about EWC
lmaooo
2 million > 1 million
16 Teams > 12 Teams
Teams are trying = Teams are trying
Qualifiers & no invites = Qualifiers & no invites
Only for VCT teams = Only for VCT teams
EWC > Masters
"True if u are retarded". Bro's just yapping and thinks he is morally superior to everyone else by not considering EWC > Masters.
Objectively (with NUMBERS and not what comes out of your ass), EWC > Masters.
why only tier 1 teams, give some love to my indian tier 2 teams, they will 100% beat all these fraud teams
its crazy how the biggest indian scene glazer doesn't even use the flag or any of the flairs lol
everything about it is so bad, it's obviously not made with the love of esports in mind, but rather just sportswashing for govt sake.
the only redeeming thing is the money, and even that is tainted in blood.
it's just kinda sad to see an even made with so little soul
AS LONG AS THEY DONT RUN THOSE AWFUL LONG TECH PAUSES AGAIN ITS A FINE TOURNAMENT
you can always tune in for non-valorant games as well (FC 26, Tekken, Chess). Saudi the only country/region that care enough to host something like this. At least France helping out to hold this years EWC.
pre 2025 mfs were complaining about only 3 events now complaining about a 4th one 😭 get a fkin grip
every tourney is a mickey mouse tourney atp. ive seen this kinda post since 2022 😬
The Orgs can use that extra $2 million to feed their players right and buy out better players in the future.
The fact that all the players are not motivated enough to win it is in fact Mickey.
Riot propaganda going strong
mfs seriously think if it’s not hosted by riot nobody is trying and it’s mickey 😂😂. No wonder CS has a much better esport scene these people are brainwashed
Its like a lockin event teams are def trying they just arent in great positions but its still fun to watch
^
if ppl dont agree to this, they are stupid & cant see the difference between 2 million and 1 million prize pool along with many other factors
keep yapping out of ur ass.
you cant provide any argument for why EWC is lesser than a Masters
No qualifier broadcast and worse production than a tier 2 game, should have used prize money for better production
"Qualifier broadcast" - doesn't matter lmao. Me not being able to watch a huge event's qualifiers doesnt make it mickey.
"Worse production than a tier 2 game" - Both teams will have equal tech. Doesnt matter if all players are on 10000 ping or if all players are on 1 ping. The better team will win.
We've been knowing this. Still some good money for the orgs. But placement and winning it literally doesnt matter
Just a for fun tournament where the orgs get nice money, it'd be more fun if it was a serious tourney so teams tried, but it's not and that's okay
