will it give one more event slot in August? So One inFebruary , 2nd in June, 3rd in August, 4th in October? CS also switches its structure, majors are now ending the season, not in the middle of it, no more franchising so invites are given via how good teams are, not how much their Orgs pay, more TOs and more regional events as well

I know that it will change in CS, but I dunno if any changes are coming to valorant

if that's cs, then cs is better because it has more events and the level of competiton is higher

regionals are more important despite being less hype. Same problem as with RMRs in CS, a meaningless event gets the invite to bigger events and so you have to sweat

emea is disappointing, china is better than in other FPS, APAC shat the bed this year, so yeah, I would argue America is the best region. Problem is, salary is a bit inflated there

valorant lacks a tier 2 scene and more events wouldn't be a problem imo. While every game is worth more, it can lead to some teams having 10 games in a year. CS scene is just more natural tbf, and in 2025 it will get even better.
In my Opinion, Riot could add one cross-region event between Americas and emea and another one between China and APAC with all the teams. Name it VCT Rivals or whatever, just add more rivalry. As a prize you can have the teams from the winning region get one slot over their rivals. ( region which loses gets 3 slots only, regions which wins gets 5)

True, I have been on a pay check from G2 just to hate on Sentinels. I am not actually from Ukraine, i am from Somalia (Ocelote found me in a cave), all of my tribe were given an instruction of "FUCK SENTINELS". Our goal is to spiral ThongZ into a depression.

Wouldn't it be funnier if they got top 3, lost their shit, developed insane hopium only to lose two straight and get top 3?

The only CS tier 1 events where valorant clears are events hosted in Abu Dhabi and Malta (small crowd). CS pretty much has set tournaments in set locations, Cologne hosts for 10 years straight, same for Katowice, Copenhagen has hosted Fall Finals since 2017, Rio, Sydney, Dallas. Valorant just has less tier 1 events (btw, super retarded) and so they rotate them all the time

2025: The great Chinese People's Liberation Army arrives at champs with 4 teams praised by the great leader Xi. They proceed to shit stomp every single relevant team from every other region. They bring utter destruction to their enemies. Tenz is so traumatised that he is sucking on Kyedae's tits 24/7. Botster joined a tiktok kpop dance group by the name of '0.5 k/d talents ". The only pro left who got his respect form China is the funny fat man who now got his Chinese citizenship for "Unbreakable resilient respect to the nation of China"

I don't think there was a patch improving it, but afaik their number sank a bit

the only thing saving this game are streamers and a new gimmic, shit is ass

I would like valorant to have dynamic invites to champs. Make 2 a default number for every region ( as low as it can possibly get) and any other slot depends on how many playoff teams a region has. So it's 2 + number of playoff teams, imo it would actually make champs the competition with actual best teams, not charity slots for fucking 4th place bums for 2 team regions

also give america 5 slots next champs instead of 4, APAC deserves 3.

10 average kills with 0.72 k/d is actually wild. Like actual props to him, sucking so much and still not getting the boot requires insane politics, Boaster for UK Prime Minister after retirement, political affairs are in his blood

I don't know but Boaster is a bum who has now used his technique of ''me feel bad, me play bad, me cry, people feel sorry'' however now his paychecks are under risk of being taken away. Nihao Boaster, Welcome to Titan Esports Club

will he be excused if he cries again?

sweden ain't rawdogging anyone in cs rn :D

I am an idiot because a core which has won two international events last year now can't do shit when it matters most? Oh maybe I have to admire them for just being there, Wins aren't important, appearances are

true, but I ve thought real fans would hold the standards for their team relatively high. Them beating their region rival and not being banished to lower bracket in the first round doesn't seem unrealistic, it seems like what people want to see from a title contender. AS I was waiting for my message to be posted, hiro falls off the map, this shit is not what title contenders are supposed to do

number 1 seed happy that their 0-2 loss wasn't a complete blowout, actual loser mentality

it's not about being iconic, it's about the story, it connects you to some pros you didn't know a lot about. It is not something crucial to know, but it's a cool niche thing to find out, like for example Phil Foden ( footballer) wearing number 47 because his grandad died at 47. Just little things which make you appreciate people behind the screens

cs has a problem that tier 2 could only break into tier 1 thru the major, other parts of the year they would just grind closed qualifiers ( random most of the time) and CCT and league events. Thankfully, volvo have actually fixed that and shut down franchising, now tier 1 events invite top ranking teams, not those who pay money

Honestly it was obvious that a script had something to do with APAC winning a trophy, the world elite has finally figured out that the best way to turn teens into slave is a sentinels win

As someone who follows valorant from a far, I can tell you that this shit is straight up embarrassing. 5v5 FPS shooters is given to every european gamer together with mama's breast milk, shit is essential to europeans, just like racism to our neighbours. These CS rejects were supposed to dominate this game as well, but they lose to americas, china and apac. That's just honestly a new level of cringe. They didn't bring structure, they didn't bring anti stratting, they are just fodder to other regions

Give me freedom
Give me fire
Give me CIS Talent to carry me or I retire

VCT could work without any region, technically, except for Americas I guess, the problem it raises is where do you set the line between equality of regions and fair competitive scene. Americas is the most stacked region, yet the number of slots is the same as with APAC and EMEA which are not so stacked.

Wouldn't that just kill the development of the scene?
