Revise EWC.
New idea: Make it so that we take the BEST players from each Regions, create 3-4 teams each region, and create an All-Star World Cup Tournament.
More viewership + more hype + more exciting & entertainment. Similar to ENC but mix of regional best players playing against other regional best players/teams. It'd be more fun for both players and viewers.
Think about it. Someone make it happen.
This was a waste of time for PRX and you know it. https://www.vlr.gg/event/2952/esports-world-cup-2026
They played with no ambition or just got burned out.
how will the players get selected for these so called teams?
who will manage the players?
do orgs just allow this to happen? what benefit do they get?
u just proposed smth without actually solving any of the issues or explaining how it would work
Thats the job of the Riot Valorant organizers. This would be more fun to watch instead of Mickey Disneycup EWC.
u just can’t decide on who gets in what team and what the balance between the 4teams in each region. players will always want to be included. orgs want to be compensated, and which players get to play with who. There are too many problems to just say “oh let riot figure it out.”
If they got the time and money to plan out events such as EWC AND ENC, they can do the same with this idea and also improve it. ENC is fun and a great idea, EWC is just repetitive and unnecessary since all Esports have their own circuit/curriculum(VCT, etc) throughout the year.
They did this for league a while back (2013-2020) and it was all fan voted and done during the off season.
It was a treat to always vote for our favourite players (although some regions were biased ie T1 sending basically their whole team)
Definitely doable but Riot hasn't brought it back for league for some reason so I doubt they will do it for Valorant
only thing I will change in this EWC is the group stage. Change it to swiss stage so that there are no rematches early on.
