difference between a sponsorship and ownership.
they were never gonna be partnered to begin with. Riot doesn't like their government affiliation
That's a dumb reason, it absolutely kills any momentum the tournament had.
because he couldn't even play on the main team, they've already gotten confirmation he can next year.
son Gen.G is not letting Xiesta go.
masters has 12 teams while champs has 16
this doesn't actually change how many matches teams need to win to win the tournament though
theres no first seed advantages in champs
It would make more sense if this is where the advantage was, since its supposed to be the culmination of the whole year, right?
higher prize pool
prize pools are completely irrelevant
most teams need to win the exact same number of matches to win each tournament.
Salaries have come down quite a bit over the last year or 2 according to basically everybody. I doubt very many people are actually making $20k or higher anymore.
He said it last year, it wasn't just Kaplan's idea to put him on initiator so much. Also you didn't even answer my initial question of what does zekken even play on that roster.
sure he can, but he's said in the past that he doesn't WANT to.
johnqt doesn't like IGLing from senti, also what does zekken even play on that roster?
Envy got all that stipend and bundle money from Riot and immediately decided to ditch Valorant to buy a new CS team lmao. I can see why Riot is getting rid of Ascension.
Winning Ascension is worth so much more then qualifying to a few Cups, also most did so to look good for partnership applications.
I have a feeling a few will pop up at first but the vast majority of non partnered orgs will be gone in a year.
He's literally the best NA duelist?
There was no leak. It was a rumor that several others claimed was falsee because nothing had been decided yet.
Streets were saying Valencia instead of Barcelona and Austin instead of New York
Considering LYON would probably be a LATAM North team he'd probably want to get the actual best NA player to try and help him drag that bum ass region.
yes they are. Champs 2024 was 3/4 regionals.
yeah, there were higher seeded teams coming into the tournament
Only gotten worse being back in EMEA
after 2023 that is. EG are the last real Champs winners.
EWC had less Chinese teams therefore less mickey mouse by default
guy who thinks $500k is the reason why Champs production sucks.
After 4 matches of casting Chinese teams they get back to back bangers
Yes it is unfair, that's the point. Riot doesn't actually want teams they don't hand select competing, this is just them trying to shut all the complaining up. There is not a world where Riot wants M80 qualifying to Masters or Champs over SEN or NRG.
tbf n4rrate was the only one on SEN even trying against Liquid in Bangkok or FNC in Toronto.
It's a 2 day long tournament tbf, I'd be more fair to compare it to the Grand Final
Yeah man shit quality online qualifiers are totally gonna get people watching more then consistent LAN matches. LMAO
in 2024 SEN also brought back a player who had previously been playing for them, SEN Zekken 2027 + Masters 1 winners confirmed.
"unfairly treated" brother they are 1-12 at Champs over the last 2 years, they very clearly can not compete with the other regions.
what? 2023 was just 1 less spot to China and 1 extra for the Masters winners. This would be completely acceptable now, nobody wants to see XLG instead of Lev.
2026 is over and we still talking bout some "zekken smokes" bro wrap it up.
It's also such bullshit cope because we are watching the region get worse relative to the others as each event passes.
He could've been referring to physically moving. I'd be surprised if most NA teams don't move to Texas for the online tournaments next year.
That's code for "they've been partnered but we can't say it yet"
Riot lowkey missed the perfect opportunity to make the team bundles this year Bandit skins.
I really don't think you can expect much better with a Latam North core TBH.
The article says its pending their acceptance, they could still not get in, in which case the Valyn deal doesn't go through.
Ah yes, they're picking up a Brazilian and Chilean to compete in EU.
surely you take saadhak over mazino? both play the same roles just one of them is a more experienced igl.
sen invests in the scene way to much and has too large of a fanbase to get cut, especially for flyquest of all teams.
Ends 2028, but no way C9 gets partnered.
If last year's GCC is anything to go by it's.
