SAW changed the roster

idk, but in Portugal a lot of us have 3 years of French in school

yess, Tomaszy in a interview said before Ascension he already had offers

posted 7 months ago

i gonna be honest with you, make a full portuguese roster is not that easy. We cant compete with other orgs, so the best players go to spanish, french teams, etc

posted 7 months ago

I think DaviH will go to a French team, maybe Joblife 🤔

Tomaszy and Bati idk tbh

Ps: the ValorantNewsPT page is mine :))

A international event in Singapure would be cool i think. In some LATAM country woud be good too: Chile and Argentina, for example.

maybe, normaly we cant only look at rosters on paper. Players can not fit each other. But deserve a try

yes, Enzo IGL

Jamppi, nAts, Sayf, Mistic and Enzo + Staff from Apeks, this is the call, it can work

posted 8 months ago

I hope that SAW can make a 2-0

posted 9 months ago

this numbers are without watchparties

It's a known tradition in Portugal that we give the first map "for the ducks". Our Capitan Bati is from farming background, very traditional man and we do this to honor his family. Next maps you will see SAW with the fury.

LOCK//IN + MASTERS are Minors
CHAMPIONS is a Major

In my opinion this is what makes sense, so 'Fnatic won 2 Minors (MASTERS+ LOCK//IN)' or, to not cause confusion, 'Fnatic won 2 International Events'.

Yes I missed the joke :((

Im with you! But i think that EDG and ASE can surprise us with good valorant

posted 10 months ago

They are good, but not the best imo

posted 10 months ago

Which is the best team attacking and defending going to the Masters Tokyo?

EDG the best defending team - 62,3% wr
LOUD the best attacking team - 60,4% wr

We don't know yet.

Probably after the Champions or befero (some weeks), we'll know the future of Valorant esports. But probably will be like LOL :/

posted about a year ago

hello the spots was not my opinion. Riot already share that.

posted about a year ago

but if you do a double elim bracket would be many days, and we know that is not a thing :/

tbh i would like to know the players opinion

posted about a year ago

in my opinion the first stage , is the stage where you can make mistakes and comeback. But the playoffs my friends is all or nothing. The teams have to give everything

posted about a year ago

Its already a 19 days tournament and with this format, imo, a double elim bracket no make sense at all. But i like double elim brackets for cinderella runs.

posted about a year ago

Thanks for you reply,

i think it is not that hard to divide the teams in groups since it is only in two groups and is only for the first round, and they already do that with seeding in other events.

Luck is a factor that always exist. A tournament with this format, a double elimination bracket, doesn't make sense at all. And a bracket being all or nothing is always really cool to see.

posted about a year ago

I don't think I even noticed, it was my mistake. But I agree with this change.

About double elim bracket, i like it but for this format dont make sense (for me). A cinderella run is always good!

Riot usually listen the fans and players so if we give ideas or give our opinion they can change somethnig.

posted about a year ago

the number of teams I put are the ones riot shared they were going to be. If you search probably you´ll find what countrys are in APAC N and APAC S.

I agree with you, 24 teams would be great!

posted about a year ago

i agree with you, but I have no problem with the ones presented by riot

Hello guys, in this post I will share a format that I think would be good for Champions. This is only my opinion and if you have a different one share it with me, if you think some things are not right tell me.

First of all we know that 16 teams will go to Champions:

  • 2 NA
  • 1 NA LCQ
  • 1 BR
  • 1 LATAM
  • 2 SA LCQ
  • 2 EMEA
  • 1 EMEA LCQ
  • 1 KR
  • 2 SEA
  • 1 JP
  • 1 APAC N LCQ
  • 1 APAC S LCQ

In the format I thought, Champions would be divided into two phases:

  • Swiss Format (with all teams)
  • Single Elimination Bracket (8 teams)

SWISS FORMAT

One thing that a tournament like Champions can give to us is international matches, so for the first round the seeding would be randomly but teams of the same region can't face each other. In total there are 5 rounds, and if a team win 3 games they make de second phase (Playoffs).
OR
They can make 8 teams be seed#1 and the others seed#2, for example:
seed#1 - 2 NA, 1 BR, 2 EMEA, 1 KR, 1 APAC and 1 JP;
seed#2 - 1 NA (LCQ), 1 LATAM, 2 SA (LCQ), 1 EMEA (LCQ), 1 SEA , 2 APAC (LCQ APAC N and LCQ APAC S)
These seeds are only for the first round! After the first round it is the same as the previous idea.
(ALWAYS TRY TO AVOID GAMES WITH TEAMS OF THE SAME REGION)

I think that a format like this for the first stage is more interesting than 4 groups of 4 teams.

SINGLE ELIMINATION BRACKET (PLAYOFFS)

In this stage we will have 8 teams that were like this in the previous phase:

  • Team 1,2: 3-0
  • Team 3,4,5: 3-1
  • Team 6,7,8: 3-2

Teams with the same score can't face each other in the 1/4 finals, and the teams that went 3-0 go to the opposite sides of the bracket.
Like this:
#1 | Team 1 vs Team 3
#2 | Team 4 vs Team 8
#3 | Team 5 vs Team 7
#4 | Team 2 vs Team 6
#5 | Winner #1 vs Winner #2
#6 | Winner #3 vs Winner #4
#7 | Winner #5 vs Winner #6

SCHEDULE

Champions will last 19 days, and will always be the biggest tournament of the year!

Round 1/2/3 - 9 days (Swiss format)
Day 1/4/7 (3 games each day)
Day 2/5/8 (3 games each day)
Day 3/6/9 (2 games each day)

Round 4 - 2 days (Swiss format)
Day 10/11 (3 games each day)

Round 5 - 1 day (Swiss Format)
Day 12 (3 games)

After the first stage the players have a break of 3 days, and then the playoffs begin.

Quarter Finals
Day 16/17 (2 games each day)

Semi Finals
Day 18 (2 games)

Final
day 19 (1 game)

GAMES
All games would be bo3 and the final bo5 (or bo3). In total we would have 40 games.
A team to win Champions would have to play a minimiun of 6 games (if they win all games).
