EVEN if he is right and his political opinions are correct, EWC is still objectively better than VCT (more prize money, has qualifiers, has a bunch of other stuff im not trying to list for the 100th time) so it does not matter.
You can hate EWC while still admitting it is more prestigious (or better) than Masters.
me: "objectively better"
you: "can feel"
im fucking dead bro im talking to idiots
i like ewc but you cant compare it to vct, maybe like lock in (without the aura) its good but not that good
Champs Prize Pool: 2.25mil
EWC Prize Pool: 1.25mil (2025), 2mil (2026)
Masters Prize Pool: 500k (8-team), 1mil (12-team)
how can it not be compared to VCT?
the production of group stages, otherwise its good and comparable to vct, they need to ramp up Advertising
Prize pool changes nothing.
Chelsea won club world cup. More money than champions league
They even beat psg. But nobody cares
Idgaf about non-Valorant and idgaf about "nobody cares." Objectively, EWC is better than Masters. It doesn't matter if anybody cares about EWC or not (which people do btw), EWC is better than a Masters.
Esports World Cup Defense:
- The Esports World Cup is a global, S-Tier Tournament - https://liquipedia.net/valorant/S-Tier_Tournaments
- $1.25mil Prize Pool for 2025, $2mil Prize Pool for 2026 (both greater than a Masters event)
- The teams that attended the Esports World Cup 2025 qualified through VCT Stage 1 or the EWC qualifiers. There were 0 invitations (unlike RedBull and other off-seasons). The best teams of the world at the time were playing and competing for the 1.25mil prize pool. Similar EWC qualification stage for 2026.
- ALL VCT teams have EWC as a part of their schedule a year in advance (unlike other non-VCT tournaments). It is unserious to consider EWC as an irrelevant tournament. ALL teams have plans for it before the season starts.
- Objectively, EWC is a valid tournament (equal to a Masters at the minimum). Politics do not decide whether the tournament is mickey or not.
- EWC is a yearly tournament (2025 onwards until 2028 minimum). This is not a one-time tournament.
- Format:
Single-Elim Playoffs & Grand Finals (The EWC Grand Final is more fair than any VCT Grand Final because there is no 2-map ban advantage for either of the finalists)
Consolation Final (to ensure the 3rd and 4th place teams get the prize money they deserve)
Group Stage: All winner/loser/decider matches are a best of 3 (same group stage format as VCT Champions). - Rewards better-performing regions: (EMEA did the best at EWC 2025, so they get an additional slot at EWC 2026 which is taken from the worst-performing region at EWC 2025 (China)).
I was there they cheered even when the CN teams weren't playing but were shown on screen
