BR was stopped being considered a minor region when they made finals back in Iceland 😭😭😭
Maybe people said "one team region" (I didn't) but no one serious said that their best team was a "minor" team
The regions for tier one valorant are EMEA, Pacific and Americas
If you want to consider T2 valorant which is being discussed here as Brazilian Ascension, Latam Ascension, NA ascension, which you should imo
the same should be applied to the VRL's thus lowering the numbers for 1.7 million to the playerbases of the VRLS
