Did you saw how I impose my big boobs authority to unlock the infinite debate on china powerranking ? O.O
Men are under my foot !
I was pretty choked I admit @.@
In EMEA it's a little bit weird beacause i'm unable to see if Europe+TR+CIS are 1 market each is one market or 5+ market
What ? What logistic it require to put 5 OCE player in Seoul that it doesn't to put 5 Indo player ??
We are here ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IDLyDwrO5A
to be fair, it would be almost impossible to reduce to 6 franchise team, it would purely and simply mean the death of Valorant in some market.
We need at least :
If Riot choose to go to 6 partner team per region... That mean at least in 2031 (but preferably in 2027) we will need to split Pacific and Asia, because in long term that could mean the destruction of Val in some part of SEA, doing that would open a slot for Oceania, (3KR team, 2JP team, 1OCE team), and another spot either for Vietnam, or for MENA if we decide to put MENA in Asia to make the region bigger in term of population (Because it would be the smaller region in term of pop.
Anyway we will see if the playerpool in Korea continue to increase exponentially, because if that happen that could really choke to death the rest of APAC
I 100% support, Xolos winning would be an historic day for all valorant community and an amazing sign for every emerging market.
It would be the first time in Valorant history that a T2 with no partner team manage to qual to T1, I hope OCE, India, and even MENA would follow
Technically before timezone existed people used solar time. They create timezone to make exchange easier, and create "biggertimezone" that what we had, but they didnt dare too big timezone because it would have been too different from solar time. If timezone where made today no doubt we will have WAY more less
"Well other things is developed countries like US, EU union will just take unjust advantage of no timezones and will fuckup everything for their own good as if that's not happening. It'll be disastrous for developing nations. So even if you're thinking about something new don't just think about how it'll be benefitting you rather think how it'll benefit the world."
Can you explain please because I have no idea what you are talking about
Definitly no, timezone where made in a period where world wasnt globalized and really few people speak to people from other country, or even other village, 24 timezone is absolutely insane, and mean nothing, look at Europe most part of us are in +1 (Or +2 in summer)
Take galicia in spain they are in +2 in summer, but -1geographically, I don't think they are any problem, it's even more practical for them to have the same than France and Germany, we should have only between 3 and 6 timezone maximum
I partially agree with you, I think maybe it may be confusing for an Australian to change the day in the middle of the day, and being midnight at midday.
To me the good compromis is to have only 3 or 4 (5/6 huge max) timezone, Americas, EMEA, APAC and maybe some intermediate
Hot take : My bet is that doble controller will be more popular in champions than doble duelist (Modulo mapool I suppose)
Hi vlr… This week I really wanted to talk about demography and answer the question of the size of the playerpool in each region, but a huge information was release on twitter :
As Faria told us in Platchat, Riot want to more incentive for org to invest in T2 and they think about 2 options :
▪️ Option 1 : Reducing the number of partenered team and go from 10 teams to 6 or 8 team meaning we will go from 2 ascended team to 4 or 6 Ascension teams for each league
▪️ Option 2 : Make LCQ where Tier Two teams could qualify to Masters events
And to be honnest I think we should do both , but today we will just cover the « LCQ for T2 » part. And before starting, we have to admit that tier T2 team beaing allowed to participate to master event, would be an amazing push for organisation to invest in tier 2 team and a lot of people have cry a lot about tier 2 dying… About counter argument some people may say it might devalue tier 1 franchise, but no, I don’t see any structure abandonning Tier 1 just because Tier-2 can qualify, the only problem I can see is that… Will a player under eighteen years old will be allowed to participate to master ? If that not the case, a lot of tier 2 team will have a lot of problem if they qualify.
Anyway, Let’s look at the 3 internationnal event and see how we can change the format to qualify tier 2 teams. And as you will see, a LCQ may not even be needed.
Let’s start with kickoff, and the doble elimination format with 12 team is absolutely horrible, I’ve made already multiple video to explain why. And the best thing we can do is to make a sixteen team doble elimination bracket format, this would absolutely solve every problem, no more 12 team bracket, but also give 4 spot to Tier 2 teams to qualify to master, by only doing 8 more BO. This the perfect solution for kickoff. If this is not the definitve choice, I will be a little bit mad because with this solution you really kill 2 bird in one stone.
So who will be the 4 Tier 2 team that qualify to kickoff ? To be simple : let’s just qualify to kickoff the winner of every Tier 2 Split 3 league, by doing that we don’t even have to organise any offline event wish will make things easier, and we will give more importance to split 3, that wasnt that important last year. Let’s check region by reagion.
And let’s start with Americas, wish is the perfect exemple to illustrate what I mean. We would give 1 slot for the winner of every Tier 2 league, 1 for Brasil, 1 for NA, 1 for Latin America South, and one for Latin America North. This is my favorite solution that require no offline event and put the 4 region on an equal foot, but an alternative where NA have 2 spot and LAN and LAS share one spot would not fully be absurd.
In Apac, it’s a little bit tricky because they are 5 region, for only 4 place, sure we could make the 2 weakest region, Oceania and South Asia play each other, but if want to keep the idea of not making any qualifier and no offline event, then one of them have to play in China, cant be Japan, Korea or South east Asia because that would mean they are a chance than a T2 region have 3 splot in masters wish would not be fair… Oceania is the best choice… But yeah you gonna tell me than Oceanian player playing in China is polarbear in Arlington, but let’s face the truth, Chinarlington is aleady the biggest reserve for Oceanian polarbear on earth, and the best polar bear already all play in Arlington.
About China, yeah 3 spot is a lot, but I suppose we don’t have another choice, since they are kinda alone in their Tier-1, and also if we want to be sure that at least one Chinese team qualify to masters, because if we give 2 spot to region that isnt China, then, they are a really small chance than no chinese team manage to qualify to masters wish would be a huge loss for views.
Also let’s face it 3 spot is a lot, but can even be 4, if Riot doesnt want to make an exception to let Oceania plays in China, wish would be understandable.
In EMEA it depend on the philosophy you want. MENA is split in 2 league that can’t play each other for ping issues, so if the goal is to change nothing to the structure of Tier 2 event in EMEA and not make any offline tournament, then the most logical choice to do is : 1 slot for Levant-North Africa, 1 slot for Gulf and then 2 slot for the new Europeean tournament… But let’s face it, having the 6 best Tier 2 region compete for 2 slot while the 2 worst region have 1 direct slot is a little bit weird, especially if CIS come back and get one of the 2 European slot.
The other philosophy for EMEA would be to just take the prefranchised ERA boundaries. So 1 slot to the 5 European Tier 2, 1 slot for Turkey, 1 for MENA and slot1 for CIS… Afterall Turkey have also a bad ping on Frankfurt, so putting them all alone isn’t absurd. CIS will also need one spot when the war will be over, and MENA is really weak, and is just split in 2 for ping reason, so it’s not absurde to make an exception and make them play each other for one spot.
The only problem of that, is that it would mean Tukey would probably stop playing the combined European T2 tournament, wish may be a huge loss for both Turkey and the tournament.
Ok so covering the repartition of slot for Kickoff, was pretty long, but we still need to cover Split 1 and Split 2 before ending the video.
So for the master that comes after split 1, yeah we will probably need an LCQ. Sure the 2 finalist of Tier-1 should qualify, and the last place would be for the LCQ winner. If we want, we can even make the LCQ a 3rd looser bracket, so that not add too mush game for the team that end 3rd. If we choose to qualify 4 Tier-2 team to that LCQ, like in Kickoff, that would mean thirteen games more wish is not that mush. An alternative possibility is to NOT make an LCQ and make a small tournament with every T2 winner and the winner is allowed to play against the 3rd best Tier-1 team for the last sport.
For champion it’s really easy, we don’t even need a LCQ, the 2 finalist of split 2 are qualified, the best team in point is qualified, and the 2nd best team in point plays against the winner of ascention tournament (It may have an exception if the winner of ascention if a team that did participate to tier 1), in the case they are 3 ascended team in champions, then the final rank of champions will decide who qualify for next year. This solution is perfect because it would change nothing absolutely nothing to Tier 2 structure and just add 1 BO more.
So in conclusion if we want to give a chance to Tier-2 team to participate in international events it doesnt add too many number of game, and it might not even add a single week of tournament, and if Riot decide to not let T2 participate to masters then it will be for other reason than schedule or format. Especially since it may even solve the main issue with Kickoff format and it is really easy to do it for champions.
The only reason Riot would not do it, would be either legal reason, if it’s not possible to let play a player under eighteen on a international event. or for a marketing reason it could hurt Tier 1 to give one slot to tier 2.
To me letting Tier 2 team participate to international event is needed, either to solve some format issus but also to give incentive to organisation to continue to invest in tier 2. As always vlr i’m seeking for debate there, this is a subject that I love to think and talk about, and if you want to debate with me by writing, speaking or even publicly in twitch, I would be glad to do that. Bye.
I want to win Paris :c
To be fair I thougt Vita would progress because they have a good roster and time would allow them to improve as a team and not just reliable on firepower.
Removing Trexx just sound as scapegoat culture that will bring absolutely nothing in long term.
Such a disapointment
Hi vlr, as announced on this tweet, Riot consider allowing Tier 2 to have a chance to go in master if they win. I wanted to argument for that, but also show you what would like a world where Riot give a path to inter to T2 teams.
tldw ; T2 should have a chance to go in master, it would give more incentive to invest in T2, but also solve some format problem like the 12 team doble elimination bracket for the kickoff.
I feel i'm a psychopath sometimes
Give a little bit more time to 2G, they best player hasn't played yet, sometime life is full of suprise
They need to rename into GC Radiant, and 100% they would have done top 13 (at least)
If I had a nickel for every time a GC team devalue themself in their own name and play worst than what they could have done, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
Oh definitly not, Riot has nerfed her every year and always and she ever came stronger like in the Moe-Barney meme, but now it seems it's over for 2 reason :
She is now (only T1) 25% pickrate, but 58% NMWR (If I take T2 she is MUSH lower in PR, and slightly under 50% NMWR) so we can never know
Top 6 most by T1 (Equalized, meaning I try to not have a region that is too mush more represented than the other because the format where not the same for everyone) for each year :
2020 :
2021 :
2022
2023
2024
7/20, you need to work better on your val history, and not only rely on vague memory, but it's not catastrophic x)
Korea have declared war to pacific bear sadefully :/
Best chance is to ask Global Warming Esport to go full polar bear
Sadfully, I dont think polarbear can afford greener pasture, Arlington is perfect because they are not so many concurrences in it
Look at the number or premier team for Korea X.X
True, true, but, still, historically polar bear only play in Arlington
Well Shanghai is closer from Oceania than Seoul :X
And it's not my fault if Arlington have created a reserve of polarbear, and the best polar bear in the world comepte already in Arlington :/
The certains team would have play 3 init if it was possible :c
And making regular season useless, beside seeding (tha tmean nothing)
This format is far better of what you propose, they are no point of finish 1st except siding (that basically mean nothing, because sometime a lowerseed is better than another). With that format every place matter, so regular season matter, so thats perfect
Sometime I just wish they remove a slot of China and give them to OCE
Good for OCEmaybe they will have a chance to go in T1 if their best played stop being take by CN org
It's impossible in APAC and hard in EMEA, that would mean leaving a market behind, and that will kill the scene in this country, longtermwise it's a suicide.
But it would be good in Amer or CN that have fewer than 5 marketso they are margin.
The only way 6 would be doable for APC, would be to split in 2 with Pacific (KR+JP+OCE) and Asia (SEA+SA + maybe another thing like CIS or MENA) so SEA doesnt lost their market, and Oceania can finally have a spot in T1 (3KR, 2JP, 1 OCE)
If they get relegated and their academy team is in ascention I dont see why the academic team couldnt play ascention, they optimise their chance to stay in ascention, it's good
Every region is close in term of level, if you want to raise an alarm, raise the alarm in SEA that is getting worst every split and see the premier number diminish
You dont afraid in ranked whe will get killed before having her weapon in her hand ?
Because Kayo is better than Breach ?
