"The process is completely random" "That doesnt explain"

Franchising is important to bring financial stability to the whole system. It helps to bring on sponsors and to solidify fanbases

I dont think the price is increased tbh. They would spend a lot less by having half of the teams play in Brazil, the players minimum wage that is basic paid by riot would be lower, and the infrastructure is already there.

Split Americas into 2 leagues for 2026

North League

100T
EG
Sentinels
NRG
G2
Cloud9
A Latam North team
An Ascension team

South League

Loud
Furia
Mibr
2G
Kru
Lev
A latam south Ascension tean
A Br Ascension team

If they want to keep same number of teams attending masters

1st place of each for Masters 1
1st place of each + 2nd place of the region that did better on first master for the second one
1st and 2nd of each region for Champions.

Which problems would arise if this was to happen? Anyone would be unhappy?

If things stay the way they are I think latam + br viewership and players will eventually get alienated from the Americas League, which they already find difficult to see as theirs.

They will hire a full NA roster to play the first match. Probably a team that has been practicing and doesnt have an org, makes it easier for legal reasons. My guess is Okeanos and Screwface's team Ambrosia.

Its not like M80 didnt know who they were playing lol

Furia very likely wont play the kickoff

I thought it started with Hzmf because of how a streamer that I watch say his name. He always says the equivalent of HZMFuck this

You scored 135/244 = 55%

5 players I remembered but couldnt type, including alphabet bro ofc

No, because teams hardly innovate as the stakes are too high. If we had more crossplay between like t1 and tier3 teams, the latter might try something different to surprise them, but as the format is, I think its really doubtfull.

This is my list from maps that need duelists the least to the ones that need it the most.

1. Icebox
2. Sunset
3. Fracture
4. Pearl
5. Breeze
6. Abyss
7. Haven
8. Lotus
9. Bind
10. Split
11. Ascent

I think that contract bot posted that the magnum was terminated yesterday

Yoru, Sova, Astra, Viper, Killjoy

Is Saw coming back to Valorant? And is Vorwenn still at Barça?

We go Lowers run

Wait and see

I got 50% so far.

No one cares about handegg anyway

not sure if he knows how to write

Unlucky

I have faith, lets go Tyloo

I would upvote you if I could

Furia will go to internationals this year

I wish I was watching more VCT when Hiko was still playing

If you stop posting, people will soon forget how to

Counting on you

wish they would actually inform why they are banning you, and the consequences of each act, feels random and arbitrary

I think Sacy will be a much needed good Portuguese stream. He will talk more about the game, prob be similar to a FNS stream, right now, most BR streams, and all of the big ones rely on screaming and making jokes for toddlers.

Portuguese
English
Spanish
French

:(

Gimme back my ability to use flags and upvote/downvote comments or else...

you'll lose one of the best members you've ever had

Its the same everywhere

Furia needs to get there first. Their Visa havent been approved yet.

Bro really said Supamen = Pancada

Bought MIBR last year, aint buying any this year I think. Maybe Tyloo.

I always had a soft spot for Vitality, not sure why, and loved seeing Twisten play during Lock/In because he was using the shorty before most ppl really got into it

not boring at all and I can respect TenZ's gameplay although im not a fan of his streams/personality

Furia

Disregarding streams, teams, even personality, just focusing on the player ingame. Who do you like to watch the most?

Mine is Less

I thought about not adding them to the list, they are the most likely. But idk the team fumbled by letting Aspas go and I feel like they got no identity at all, but maybe they can surprise me. A lot harder to win titles in Americas also

when was that?

Not hating, just stating facts

These teams will never add another one:

Evil Geniuses
Loud
Team Liquid
Leviathan

Respect Tyloo

I wanna be able to fake flag again

If Mimi did EMEA she would have Apeks top 6

I blame Zeta

Bangkok: Furia
Toronto: NRG
Paris: VItality

I will be banned

Less moved to Europe for a reason

I think there is still a good amount of people playing it
