NA teams still need to beat SA teams to use that extra slot on themselves tho.

Yeah, we actually need more English casters from different regions. It's ok for EU casters to support EU or NA casters for NA.

It's ok tho. It is only one event. Riot will not be holding events in the same country over and over again.

https://liquipedia.net/valorant/VALORANT_Champions_Tour/2021/CIS/Stage_1/Masters Here's the proof that CIS and Europe were two different regions and they are just combined to EMEA. I guess you just cannot distinguish regions of the game and Geographic regions.

In this game, Europe and CIS are two different regions and both of them are part of EMEA. For example, you can find that "Champions Tour CIS stage 3" and "Champions Tour Europe Stage 3" are two different tournaments and they take place at the same time. At least, Riot makes regions in this way.
