Riot is literally owned by China. I mean Tencent

Korea only cares about league of legends, maybe JP for valorant I guess?

yea I agree, Valorant needs Chinese market

but sole Chinese franchise league doesn't make sense

there will be a huge backlash from other regions lol

Maybe EMEA and America start their franchise league with 12 teams and Asia start it with only 10 teams
then add 2 Chinese orgs later?

When is Valorant officially launching?

If it ever is open, then will China have a separate franchise league?

It kinda doesn't make sense when NA has to merge with SA even tho they have 100+ teams

It also doesn't make sense to join the Asian franchise league since all 10 orgs singed 4-year contract

true
If they had just a few more weeks for prac
ez Champs win

One of them will be in Asia franchising

China alone has more population than the whole EMEA and NA combined bro. Include India then, 1/2 world's population
Asia is just SO MUCH bigger

I agree with those 3 teams but Furia over M3C or TL? not sure about that

then Asia LCQ is like 3 regions combined?

If scrims mattered, DRX or Leviathan already should have won a few majors

EMEA or NA deserve more?

no hate, just pure confusion

KR and JP are only #2~#4 teams whereas CN have #1 and #2 team.
There's a huge gap between top Asian teams (PRX and DRX) and other Asian teams.
DRX destroyed Nth 13-1 or something like this

talking about players

already have seen enough

They looked only okay because they faced T3 Asian teams lol even DRX 13-1ed Nth. I don't think EDG can beat Xerxia on offline

at least they won a Masters and 100x richer

your flair doesn't even look good against random T3 Asian teams bro

KRU even beat LOUD bro..

Keznit still insane, they were just sick last masters

13-8, 21-19 against Nth? nah

They look insane now tbh

TGRD>KRU>M3C>BOOM>EDG

but none of them will make it out of groups sadly

pro players in this game just lack basic FPS fundamentals

They overpeek way too much

Optic just love lower bracket runs. that's it

They kinda didn't do anything

I'm confident an NA team will win Champs

From 12-5 to OT?

M3C matchfixing?

We all know G2 will shit on bed on global stage

Russian players are just better offline

We all know Zeta will win Champs

It's a big issue if a 4th team from so called 1 team region beat #1 CN team

no shot 5 Russians lose in FPS

If not, I want TL to win

DRX need better Oper

It's a disgrace if #1 CN team can't beat #4 KR team tbh

should be 3-0

nah NA this time

TS as well

so FS won with disadvantages or with advantages?

yea I think Bleed can sh1t on EDG hard not sure about GE tho xD

FS 13-0ed Nuturn and shit on everyone in LCQ last year

EDG barely beat Nth and they are #1 CN team when NTH are only 2nd and ONS are even 4th in KR

not that impressive

only DRX and PRX are decent teams out of Asia. Other regions are all 0 team region

inside sources, 99% confirmed

Not sure about Bleed either, TS kinda confirmed according to sources

Tier 2 is still not confirmed yet. That's why so many orgs and players are complaining rn

I'm not sure how tier 2 league will be run tho. The whole tier 2 scene might die
That means it's just an end of Valorant esports

So did Xerxia

Riot wants to keep financially stable orgs for franchising

It doesn't mean PRX roster will be gone

They will be picked up by a franchise org

Will there be an official tier 2 league run by Riot?

I'm so confused?

EMEA or NA deserve it more?

like give one to SEN to carry viewership instead?

people said SEN and TGRD

but look at them now

you wish haha
SEN is Poonatic's nightmare

love him so much

take my energy sweetie <3
