Israel was announced as part of VLR East and not MENA since the beginning. Could be a political issue I think but that's just my guess, since I'm not sure how it'd affect the Regional League since it's played online anyway

When you have Bundesliga game on Friday and Valorant Regional League on Saturday

Won't be played ig, probably someone screwed up setting up ladder and then VLR and Liquipedia followed

KK, thanks for the insight

You used past tense, so I assume the "soldados de lembo" team doesn't play under the Arctic org anymore?

posted about 2 years ago

I've seen quite a lot of people upset about the slots just given to some orgs tho, especially since 2 of them (Arctic and Bisons) don't even have a Valorant team

I'm confused, how can Dsyre play it if they don't have a single DACH player?

Most people in RL community either use twitter or reddit for it

There's octane.gg but it looks pretty bland compared to vlr or hltv

RL Liquipedia is where I look up most things, they do some good work there

Thx just found this topic

Did they get copyright striked for using someone else's flag sprites and had to change or something?

posted about 2 years ago

i know right this is so annoying

posted about 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure site admins started using different sprites since I've some more posts on the issue

EU flag looks atrocious

Pretty much any flag that has blue in it looks awful now

Did all of my browsers suddenly get cancer, or do flags look like utter crap right now?

Why change something which is not broken?

posted about 2 years ago

I agree to that. I feel like the Open Qualis (whether regional or for all EMEA teams) should seed to the EMEA Closed Qualifier, instead of having closed quali be split into Turkey/CIS/EU subregions.

posted about 2 years ago

So, what are your opinions on it?

If someone needs a quick sum up: Open Bracket, 256 slots, all team members required to be Immortal+, BO3s all the way, 3 days, 2 matches each day.

Imo it's a big step up when I compare it to how Open Qualifiers usually look in Counter Strike, even for the big events it's almost always BO1s right until QFs/Semis of Open Quals.

I welcome the change, don't get me wrong, but now we can officially say none of the members of the original G2 Valorant squad that dominated for the most part of 2020 remain.

Kind of shows Carlos doesn't seem to have an idea where to go with the Valo squad

Ignorantia iuris nocet.

According to Riot and other teams everyone was literally handed a pamphlet with forbidden things on it before the event - and glitched utility was on this list

Actually X10 got map forfeit, Giants started the next series 0-1 down (or the other way around, either way one of the teams did get DQd {for that map})

"making jokes"

You Brazilians sure do have a weird definition of a "joke".

Look under Acend's tweets. Even after a final game. Jesus, people.

So happy for Zeek and Starxo. Probably one the greatest achievements in Polish esports history ever, next to the EMS One Katowice 2014 Major for Virtus Pro and Jankos' MSI win with G2 in 2019.

Proud.

Still spamming the 0-7 copypasta. How salty can you be? Especially after Riot went with such a mild punishment lmao

Valorant is just way more comeback friendly since it's way harder to completely break someone's economy than f.e. in CS

I hope so, no way they make it a single elimination qualifier

League style as in league play, not League of Legends.

You know, round-robin schedule with everyone playing everyone and best teams qualifying for playoffs.

posted about 2 years ago

In LOL its:

  • DACH (Germany+Austria+Switzerland)
  • Northern Europe (UK + Nordics)
  • Spain
  • France
  • Poland and Baltics (formerly those 2 were separate, but starting in 2022 it's one region)
  • Balkans
  • Greece and Cyprus
  • Italy
  • Benelux
  • Czechia and Slovakia
  • Portugal

I'd assume the overall layout (or what they are aiming to achieve) will be similar, maybe with some more countries merged initially (like Spain and Portugal making up Iberian region etc.)

I like leaving the place for 3rd party tournaments.

The only thing I don't like is having just ONE open qualifier for each split. You slip up once - and you're out for the next 3 months. Wow.

posted about 2 years ago

If what you say is true than all of the 4 slots for Asia would go to the Korean teams - all they'd need to do is all place Top4 in East Asia Qualifier, then all place Top4 in APAC Finals - boom, 4 teams to go through.

EMEA with 4 slots, NA with 4 slot, SA with 4 slots, APAC with 4 slots. Nobody has any reason to complain.

posted about 2 years ago

Not exactly sure why this isn't the case already. BR and LATAM even had a joined LCQ together.

posted about 2 years ago

Riot literally runs Worlds in LOL every year with spot distribution based on how regions fared during the previous years. When EU was better than Korea on average for 2 years they transferred the 4th slot from LCK to LEC. Then EU had a crap year and the next year the 4th slot went back to the LCK since they were the 2nd highest rated league.

posted about 2 years ago

If you ask me I'd make an APAC tournament - 4 spots for East Asia, 4 spots for South-East Asia - 8 teams.

Hold APAC LAN finals (maybe in LCK studio in Korea), best 4 teams qualify for Masters. This way only the best Asian teams will come play, just as it is with North American and European teams. If Thailand, Philippines or Korea best out Japan and none of the Japanese teams qualify, so be it.

posted about 2 years ago

This simply is not true.

NA got 3. EMEA is a combination of regions (CIS + EU + Turkey) and they also only got 3 (4th is the slot Gambit got by winning Masters Berlin)

South America gets a total of 4 (2 BR, 1 LATAM + LCQ) slots.

and SEA gets 2 alone, Korea gets one separate, Japan for some unknown reason also gets one separate - and there's also an APAC LCQ with yet another spot on the line. The spot distribution doesn't make any sense at all.

posted about 2 years ago

Slot distribution is a separate issue. Currently Asia has 5, more than EMEA, NA or SA, while also looking like the weakest of the 4 (with the exception of Vision Strikers maybe).

posted about 2 years ago

I'd be fine with it only if they somehow increased the number of teams at big events and changed the format. Maybe like the play-in stage at Worlds for all the one-nation regions and lower seeds of the major ones.

posted about 2 years ago

Im still baffled by the fact APAC gets a total of 5 spots, the most out of any region if we take into the account the "big" ones (EMEA, NA, SA and APAC) - while also being seemingly the weakest one.

KRU 1-2 SEN
ACE 2-1 NV

With VCT 2022 up ahead, should Riot make changes to the regions and, if COVID situation allows it, make regional finals/main qualifiers for Master events LAN?

We already got the EMEA superregion with EU+CIS+Turkey+ME, but Brazil+LATAM and Japan+Korea+SEA are separate for no apparent reason other than ping differences.

Should we just have South America and Asia-Pacific superregions instead and have regional tourneys held out in studio enviroment, with only qualifiers to those being played in subregions (like EMEA does with EU, CIS and Turkey having separate qualifiers)? They did that in LCQs anyway.
Infrastructure shouldn't be a problem taking into the account Riot already has all of their main LOL leagues played out on LAN.

Tell me how do you "accidentally" put a camera in an exploit spot 6 times in a single match as a Cypher main, even after obviously noticing you can see through the texture.

posted about 2 years ago

If we're gonna be mostly on LAN for the next season (hopefully) I can't see why there shouldn't be an Asia-Pacific supperregion just like EMEA is. They did it for CIS, EU, Turkey and ME, but for some reason SEA, Japan and Korea are separate, even though ping differences would probably be the similar. And they did it already with the APAC LCQ

posted about 2 years ago

The only thing that this whole situation changed for me is that I wanted to see an upset from Brazillian teams, like FURIA taking down KRU and Sentinels to qualify for the playoffs.
Now it would be hard for me to cheer for any BR teams at all with how their community reacted. The second I saw Starxo dance up after the victory I know it's not gonna end well now, and surprise surprise, Acend players get the crap now. Get a grip of yourself people.
