Nothing, the region is killed because of Riot Games inexplicable hatred towards EMEA in this game
We should promote Japan instead
It is?
DRX and ESC are the only half-decent teams and even they would lose to anyone from EMEA in their current form, they improve very slowly since the rest of APAC is bad
Don't even say anything about Damwon, those guys are horrible
Of course they can't, because Riot literally tells Turkish teams "you won't qualify to Masters, we don't allow you, we only give 3 slots to the best region with biggest playerbase and biggest fps history"
Meanwhile other mickey mouse regions with tier2 gameplay:
Japan+Korea = 3 Champions, 2 Masters
SEA+SA+OCE = 3 Champions, 2 Masters
Brazil+Latam = 4 Champions, 3 Masters
Hahahahahahahahaha
In CSGO Majors EMEA has 16/24 teams and THAT would be in Valorant as well, if teams were sent to LANs by skill and not by fucking diversity
If you want good teams you should stop watching VCT NA
TR do deserve separate slot more than Japan, Brazil or (past year) SEA
SMB or BBL would own anyone from your entire region be it PH ID or SA
Sadly they are forced to play in EMEA and Riot heckin love to give slots to Asia / South America trash
That guy is calling all asian-americans "asians" because of their ancestry
Meanwhile assuming that white americans are "true americans" though they're basically brits and germans by genes
That is fucking weird
You either mark all americans american or mark nobody american
Your comparison makes no sense, literally everybody who lives in NA except for native americans (who barely exist anymore) has his heritage from another continent.
You can call dapr, sick, zombs, vanity, leaf, mitch, crashies, yay.. europeans because ethnically their ancestors come from UK, Germany, Italy, France etc.
Going off this logic Sentinels is an EU team? 3/5 are of european descent.
1 promotion spot NO WAY THEY'RE CARRYING ARCTIC AND BISONS TO NEXT STAGE
Are you sure because here it shows 2 qualified, i.e. 2 who come from Liga Radiante will advance
Unironically upper 4 of VRL Nordics are better than half of NA VCT teams
Nordics has everything - 4 teams all of whom could qualify through promotion (Alliance, Tundra, Excel, Tenstar), good Bo3 format and normal double elim playoffs
East I like because of diversity (literally 6 countries participating, with Poland having 3 teams), and all of these except KTRL deserved to be there, it's not like they're bad and invited just because of country (KTRL is the only exception), and also relegation (6-7th to another phase, 8th directly out)
Turkey good average quality of teams with FF and FUT being there, this league is the most stacked if we consider average strength
Spain bad Bo1 round robin and Bo5 playoffs (?????), no 19esports, trash Bisons / Arctic, don't get me started, though other teams in Spain are pretty solid
France, DACH cringe Bo2 system with often having no winner in a match which is stupid, but DACH prevails because in France playoffs are single elim
MENA double round robin is pretty nice (everyone plays twice more than in other VRLs), but MENA is still far behind by their gameplay quality
CIS is literally ruined at this point because of Russia/Ukraine, some matches are postponed until unknown date, shit might even get cancelled if Russia shuts down global internet for their citizens (there were rumors)
By strength:
By viewership (Aris for you):
Yeah but at least CSGO teams don't play 10 matches per season and don't have 3-month breaks without anything
EMEA doesn't have future, because they will give all our slots to Japan and Brazil
At the same time nobody wants to be that guy who gets killed on such riot against Putin, ideas are ideas but if you lost your life it was all meaningless, you don't exist anymore and you can't experience the "new world"
Because peacefully you won't make anyone do anything, over 100 died during Maidan protests
I don't know if you're religious and believe in heaven, but I think that every creature (human, cattle, fish, whatever) has one life, one time on earth, and it's important to not lose it in such stupid way like fucking protest, because when you die there is nothing but void
20-24 best NA teams who didn't qualify for VCT (half - invited by results, half - open quals)
Swiss format (10-12 rounds Bo3, teams play against those who have similar score, no set schedule)
5 weeks, Monday-Thursday (4 days every week), in total 20 game days, more than enough time to do all these swiss matches
Best games are broadcasted on NSG caster-less streams
Top-8 from this mickey mouse league advance to playoffs, 1st goes to next split VCT, 2nd-5th and bottom-4 of VCT play against each other to determine top-3 who also go to next split VCT
I wonder why they didn't do this
Now orgs leave and they are like "WHY???"
My city is relatively close to Russia and it's being shelled hard as it's one of their main targets, I "escaped" and currently residing in a small town in another district where things are quiet
Nobody knows when shit's gonna end, but it's clear that Ukraine will win the war, it's just a matter of whether Putin will end it quick with not so many casualties, or go crazy and murder even more poor citizens who did nothing
As someone who lives in Ukraine:
There are a lot of men in queues who wish to be mobilized but there aren't enough guns and equipment to provide them with
Nobody forces anyone to join military, because there are more than enough people available anyway
In fact Russia already lost the war - they didn't take a single big city, they don't have any fuel / food / reinforcements since the whole operation was planned to be finished within 7-14 days, their soldiers are demoralized and don't want to fight themselves, now it's just about how many more ukrainian citizens will die
Korea with dogshit formats strikes again
Why would you do 4x4 GSL with the most random seeds, when you can make double elim and have 8 as strong teams as possible qualify for the league
Those clowns didn't learn from last year did they
So what?
There are a lot of good smoke players out there who can get more kills than zombs does in every series
"Best utility" my ass the only thing he has to do is activate stars when teammates call for it, it's not like he kills 20 with shock darts per game
There must be at least 500 immortal/radiant controller players in NA who have better aiming skills than zombs
Given that 6 organizations were pre-determined and already seeded between A and B (VKS HL GL VK FUR SHK) - groups are very good
LOUD > NiP (1st qual), LOUD goes to easy group, NiP goes to death, balanced
TBK > Ingaming (2nd qual), TBK goes to easy group, Ingaming goes to death, balanced
It could have been much worse, again considering that initial 6 teams can't be swapped
In Valorant economy is dogshit and the series are always random, it's just about who wins a pistol or a lucky clutch
They should either make more rounds or give more money after a team loses a round
Or do like I said, anything else is unacceptable
You just don't realize how many storylines from past year's VCT would change if some team won pistol at some moment
Pro play should be every round 5000 creds, no pistols, no ecos, evebody on vandals / phantoms / ops, so we watch the actual gameplay and not some team winning because of dumb momentum while the opposite side just shit-buys every 2nd round and can't break the streak
Many will disagree but this would make the games a lot more entertaining, right now if you take both pistols you basically won, random shit

Shit's so fucking random, MVP is the guy who played for Infinity and ended up on 4th place, Mazino is originally initiator but is the highest rated Viper / Killjoy there, does that mean people would earn points for picking Mazino as controller / sentinel and wouldn't earn anything otherwise???
G2 got eliminated too... They eliminated themselves and came back in 2nd closed qualifier starting from Ro256, as if they didn't even participate in 1st.
If T1 proceed to NA Challengers should they also have 3 points reduced according to you?

Also the highest average ACS player might not even make it to playoffs, let's say he played 5 groups matches vs weaker teams and didn't play afterwards, hence he will overcome the likes of ScreaM and cNed as a result of not participating in playoffs against tougher EMEA teams
Why wouldn't he?
Valarante system so bad that pros play 10 games a year, excluding the seeding matches and the open qualifier matches vs immortal mixes
Of course he's nostalgic about the days when he used to play a tier1 CS LAN event every 1-2 months
I'd suggest rewarding top-25 and not only top-10, as well as the points difference between 1st / 2nd / 3rd / etc. should be lower, like:
25
22
20
18
16
14
13
12
11
10
9
8

The "Formula 1" system you selected is not that great IMO, when the number of participants will be likely over 200, and some guy gets 25 while 190+ others get 0, the predictions will be way too close to create such a monstrous gap between specific users
But it's up to you to decide of course
Also what's the tiebreaker?
VRL Spain: Rising occupied three countries: Portugal, Spain and Italy.
I don't see how France shat the bed
3 biggest organizations (Vita, BDS, OG) all deserving and top-8 FR for sure (even OG, love them or hate them)
Mandatory consists of players who at some point played for very solid FR teams, we don't know how they will perform as a 5 but they're definitely not randoms
Sector One - to help the Benelux scene, definitely necessary and it's something VRL Spain didn't do for ITA and PT
Ex-Megastitut core as a 6th invite, organization is unknown but probably someone from LoL LFL, Mega were among the best in FR all year long so they deserve it
2 qualifier slots taken by the best orgless teams (bref, Valar), they dominated the competition since the very first round except Valar struggled a bit in Ro8
CIS VRL also has the best playoffs, 1st - 2nd/3rd - 4th/5th start from different stages depending on their placement, look it up on Liquipedia
In other VRLs there are 4 teams and a simple double elim, 1st place by season results doesn't get any advantage which is stupid, you can secure 4th halfway through the split and then just save strats
Yeah, Bisons roster looks great!
You don't know maybe T1 coach was using chat ever since Ro128, maybe they wouldn't even advance enough to play against TSM if things were fair
Xenophobic fuck, "I'm not reading your arguments because you're from Ukraine and I think UA people are all like that"
You're not better than the transphobe ones who beat up people on streets because of appearance
You lack common sense don't you
Saying "trans" about someone is forbidden now? Though there was absolutely no hate going on, just calling a spade a spade
There is a difference between hating and stating information
He said facts he is transphobe!!! Omg he said Bob is originally a man which is indeed true! Cancel that moron!
This western society is something else
50% of present EMEA organizations will leave by 2024
The game will prosper in Brazil and APAC though, because of how much Riot licks their asses
VRL Spain cucked them and every Iberian/Italian team except the "golden 9", so they survive in any way they can
I think there should be a region called "West" and share 3 slots to Champions, all matches played online on Atlantic Ocean servers
The other 13 must go to APAC - 2 Thailand, 2 Indonesia, 2 Philippines, 2 Vietnam, 2 Korea...
I feel like APAC deserves more slots, they looked incredible at all international events and surely the potential is much bigger than anywhere else
Wow you're proud because you speak excellent English and he doesn't, though it's the only language you know being born in English-speaking environment?
What's your German level bro? Calypso surely knows German.
And it's obvious that some ill kid was trying to make him look bad in front of every other user by spamming nonsense.
Case, 19 >> all teams except Rebels, KOI
:(

Nigma Galaxy is currently in the lower bracket (beaten by nonamers) and they will have to win only 6 more rounds to qualify for VCT PH
Seriously stop overrating Nigma Galaxy, they're not good, I don't watch APAC at all but just looking at results...
There is no best team in the world, Valarante as an esport is so random that if you will both pistols in a map your chance to take it is already 80% as long as you're not complete noob, lucky clutches can save your economy / momentum which will in the future save you from losing the game / getting eliminated, right call can give you the victory and wrong call will knock you out, only 13 rounds to win which increases the randomness of Valorant even more...
Acend - Gambit - Liquid - KRU - even Sentinels, all can beat each other on any day, Acend were just a little bit more blessed in some game moments, doesn't mean they didn't deserve the trophy

Navi sucks do you even watch the games
They play on the same level as say Finest or Queso from Europe
LDN, BIG, FPX >> Navi unless the latter kick all the bots who hold them back
Gambit, Liquid, LDN UTD
Acend, Guild, G2
