Yes Faria is the goat, they are no debate

3 KR different team have won a title, isnt that more than full EU cumulated. I think only NA did beat them

They don't wanna learn english to get better offers and potentially better chances at winning. They wanna stay in their own bubble.

Yeah thats the reason why Korean Valorant is also trash.

Wait.

No thats an horrible reason lol

Gonna be an amazing tournament to watch

555 ?! How mush percentdo you gives them both ?

Next season ? The qualifier for Tier 1 is in 2 mounth, they will not have any rostermove now. Who will be the top 2 SEA that will go to path of champions and go in T1 (and play the "playin stage")

i'm curious, can you give the repartition of chance to go to T1 for main SEA team ! (sum nee to be under 200% since 2 will qual, you can technically count OCE and IN as one team)

If you beat twice in a row the winner of the tournament, they become automatically a huge contender to winning the tournmanet.

How mush chance would you give it to them ? 20% ?

The fact it's not full trolling to bet that a Mongol team is going to qualify in Tier 1, in 2 month is insane when we think about it.

How many percent of chance do you give them to qual ?

THANKS YOU !

I fucking fight against this dumbrule since like... 10 year ? Welcome in the fight comrade.

The fight end in 2027, everything is a tournament no more group, no more tiebreaker, no more head to head

HIS FUCKING SMILE §§§

Mongolian team won Contenders premiers :v:

Top 2 go in Champ, top 2 in point go in I think

Always has been (You just now have the translation)

Yeah, top 2 is gonna be sooo hard

Will team coming from T2 (Not ascention, T2 team) will qualify to champ this year ?
And if yes, who?

It would be possible in a world free of religion, but when since main religion are supremacist, thats make things harder

Why i'm not there i'm the sole neko that make video :c

Ascention doesn't exist anymore, and some team will become partner in 2027, so if they are not partner in 2027 they will be relegated no matter what, wish mean they will play open qualifier and probably qualifing anyway.

Also I see no way G2 not being partner in 2027

me :x

Cant be a nekogirl thooseday

It's not incompatible. You can make franchise AND everything being a tournament. before Faria's annoucement it was my proposition :

• Cups with 16 teams (10 partner, 6 T2 winner)
• Open qualifier in T2, with the top 1 per T2 region (scrimpool) qualify into tier 1

I dont, I just trust you a lot !

A little bit like China, officially 1 country made of 4 country ! (Macao, Mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan)

You should do the same list for every Russian region !

Arent you 4 country ?

Depending if they win. Imagine if they took 2 slots and motiv get nothing ?

The stream start on french music I have no word XD

Sure but :

• but rest of SEA was MYSG for so looooong (And Mongolia is still not a part of SEA)
• i'm not talking about the league, i'm talking about the fact Mongolia "takes" slot that was for MYSG for so long
• Bonus point : https://www.youtube.com/@VALORANTEsportsMYSG seems game will be stream only by "MYSG yt channel"

But still thanks for the correction, I understand thats it's important to brand it well

I have a bad news for you my sister...

Team in the MYSG closed qualifier
MYSG : 3 : U5, Rival, Motiv
TW : 1 : XLB
CB : 1 : REign (I hope they will do something)
MN : 3 : Break, TLG, Trinity !

The trend is going fast I suspect they will grow hyperfast.
I really hope they have their own qualifier to closed qualifier in 2027, but in JP (or China) instead of SEA since playing on SG is hard pingwise, and it could help JP scene to grow a little, SEA is already stacked enough to add it a new goated T3 region that cant play on the main server of the T2 region, while Japan and and China are too small for a T2 and a T1.

probablement "auraaura"

You want me to do group B ?

When the game isnt close I said "GG clothes" when I loose and "GG close" when I win

Thats a graph for round robin, not really for swiss since some team dont play each other sadfully.

It's not impossible, but I never did it for swiss

I also have a huge math brain, but I never know if green is good for the team on the left or on the top, so I fastly get lost XD.

But yeah this one is extreme, more they are team more the graph is complex, at 10 team, it can sometime be amess, but for 6/8 it's kinda perfect, only 3 arrow is okayish !

Send me a more complex group and I send it back to you in the graph form !

When I was younger and working for aAa, I did like to represent the result of a tournament byu a graph that feature every result, for exemple for China thats work like that :
https://imgur.com/CZqZ9z5.png

• The White line show who beat who (If you are higher in the graph thats mean you beat team under except if they are a yellow arrow)
• Yellow arrow are upset that break the transitivity
• White circle is a situation where A > B > C > A and have same number of point

I wanted to know if you find this graph easy to understand. To me I find it easier to read than tables since it's more visual and on a blink on a aye you can see who beat who.
So I take feeback

Winning this game might give you a worse opponent. The bracket China do make the group stage almost irrelevant, they are no gap between ending in 5-0 and play a 2-3 team or end in 3-2 and play another 3-2 team.

I cant wait that everything become a tournament.

Group stageis fun when everyone play everyone at least once a year, but that not the case since 2025, we cant make 3 international event and group stage, we lack of time for that

I see no reason ofr them to stop being partner

I have so many question on the format.

What do you want guys ?

• How many team do you want in the closed qualifier (I call closed qualifier the part of the open qualifier where the partner team are)
• Do you want to keep national qualifier (Like Thai qualifier, Indo qualifier, Franch Qualifier ), plus the last chance qualifier for everyone, that lead to closed qual ?
• How many partner do you want ?
• How many team in cups do you want ? (8 ? 12 ? 16 ?)
• Is it time to go to 16 team in masters ?

To me I kinda think the "6-3-2-1" may be the best solution. both for partner and number of slot in cups

• 4 team that went to last inter are directly in cups
• 6 teams from EU/NA/SEA (About partner One thats mean +VN GAM, +OCE FQ, +NA G2, +EU Fokus)
• 3 teams from FR/KR/BR (About partner no change, FR is part of EU qualifier, but we currently have 3 partner structure, so that's technically 9 slots, it's funny we have technically x4 NA views)
• 2 teams from TR/JP/LAS (About partner no change)
• 1 teams from ME/SA/LAN (+ME Falcons, +LAN Lyon)

So 16 team in cup, 12 partner team in each league, I would like to give a direct path to OCE, LAN, Africa, CIS, since every scrimpool deserve representation, but it's sadfully not gonna happen

Same partner

Simple they are not, all of them can qual, especially if you beleive they are no chance they win !

I was listening Faria said they want they are already an ecosystem to legitimate to make one path. So I want to help undevelopped region to build a regular circuit by organising tournament there (I did Organise LoL and Valo Tournament in the past but here we are)

Are they are some Immortals-Ascendant player in :

• East Russia / Mongolia (Tokyo server)
• Oceania (Sydney server)
• Africa (Cape Server)
  That would like to participate in a tournament that would aim to reunite people to play regularly ?

kinky

Did try their noodle, "black soja", it doesnt taste good.

Is it normal ? Any cook advice ?

I disagree, more we go, more we have a clear meta. Almost everyteam have, 1 controller, 1 duelist, 1 reveal. So this 3 roles will remain.

For the last 2 roles I think we are gonna be toward def-flex (2nd controller, trap-Senti) and Off-flex (2nd duelist, playmaker-senti, flasher)

Cause Riot made a patch at a bad timing, AMER decided to start after the patch, EMEA-APAC decided to dont care, while China decided to play early since they have a longer format with less impact for group, so Chinese team decided to play almost full group on the old patch and do playoff on the new one.

Damn, I didnt knew that law ? That's make sense.

We will see at the end of the act if it's stay stable and in the next act.

I'm doing my monthly report on number of premier team for each region. And... For the first time BR is under LAS. (2056 vs 2742), this sounds unreal, is it over for BR ?

It's a loss of 800 team from last split

(Can someone double check cause this is so unreal that I feel the mistake might be on me)

No criticism I'm happy but... Why French ? XD

Do you think Neon up gave a career to the whole NS structure ?

deserve to be there

Meritocracy is a illusion, people with more opportunities will go higher. Having a bad country of origin in Valo make it almost impossible to play in T1 currently.
