That's not a reasonable expectation. The difference in popularity of Valorant in the Americas vs every where else is nothing at all compared to the popularity of LoL in China/Korea vs every where else. Add on the cultural differences (in terms of esports acceptance and work ethic) and infrastructure differences (mainly in latam vs KR/CN), there is no way you can ever expect the chinese/korean domination you see in LoL to be replicated by the Americas region in valorant, even if it is 2-3 regions combined.
Tournament needs 16 teams (12 at least if they can't do more).
Combination of EG playing much better than they did here in Brazil (and not just because of keenc) and shopify playing much worse than they usually do in NA series 3 finals.
I thought the game awards wasn't until like the 5th/6th? Where this at?
This simply isn't true. Did you actually even watch the podcast? The majority of the teams in LCK are net negative currently. That's why they've chosen to start restructuring the financials of the league coming into 2024 and set salary caps/luxury taxes. Unless you're doing that stupid thing where you're referencing the overarching mother company when we're clearly just talking about the esports division/teams of said companies.
Clips/Screenshots of them sexually harassing women got posted all over twitter. Then EG had to kick them for PR reasons.
Audio and screenshots of keenc sexually harassing women.
No, they are not.

No, they are NOT. Here's the CEO of GENG talking about the LCK's economics. Don't talk about things you know nothing about.
Lol, no, they are definitely not. Don't spread misinformation. Here's literally an entire podcast talking about it, in case you dont believe me

The guest is CEO of Geng, Arnold Hur.
Probably not. Also, not too many teams that are so reliant on a single player for macro play. Usually it's a combination of jungler/support/mid-laner. In the early days(when the game was very different from now), he was just soooooo much better than anyone else in the world. Carried primarily by destroying other players in lane and went around murdering people through picks.
absolutely not
lol, that bermuda crack must hit hard
I think that in challengers, unlike partnership, you can have a regular team and a gc team (if they qualify) compete. I think I remember reading that somewhere in the past but not sure where. I'll have to look for a source on that but they should be okay if I'm not mistaken.
They definitely do not use the same rules for partnership. An org cannot have two teams in partnership.
There will be no issue and the MxS roster won't be in danger. The ex-V1 players haven't suddenly changed their agenda. They will play to get into challengers next year and if they do, their current contracts will have to contingencies to let them out OR the contracts will already be ending before challengers begin. They aren't idiots. They aren't gonna sign contracts that prevent them from going for their main goal.
Be reasonable. One player doesn't take a team from being 0-13'd to literally the best in the world. Demon1 was a huge reason of why they made their run but the entire team as a collection (and individually) improved a significant amount. Potter, C0m, Jawgemo and whatever else they throw together can't be expected to be world beaters (especially with little to no support staff which seems to be the case because EG lol) BUT, there's just no way anyone can believe they'll suddenly be an F tier team.
Top of C, low B is realistically where things should land if any imagined roster doesn't over/under-perform.
In LoL, C9 is the most historically successful NA team and one of the most popular overall since their entrance in 2013
Highest viewership ever(excluding china) inc
G2 will be good. They took a long break after ascension and only started scrimming a few days before the sentinel tournament. Just wait and see.
Is the listed time actually correct??
where is this match being streamed? linked streams are down.
I have to say, this actually made me laugh out loud. Thanks.
no, just a random kid, perhaps a descendant of mikasa, seemingly about to restart the cycle of titans
Foxy9 played with the team off and on all of 2023. Not exactly fair to call him a "tier 2 sub"
CS2 or retirement? There are literally 0 rumors about him.
The tournament being announced literally 4 days before it began didn't help
No one said anything about G2. If anything, the post implies G2 is a solid T1 team.
Nothing lol. GENG-BLG could go the other way. I really have no hope for KT/T1 though. Could be wrong of course but we'll see in a few days.
I just think BLG are strong. Obviously they didn't look the best in swiss but remember MSI? And their crazy performance in summer regular season? I expect in knockouts they'll lock it down and look significantly better. But yes, I also can't bring myself to trust GENG anymore when it comes to international tournaments.
GENG 2-3 BLG
NRG 3-1 Weibo
JDG 3-1 KT
T1 1-3 LNG
GG
Pretty sure valorant is already more popular than CS in China.
How popular is Valorant in China? How does it compare to League of Legends and Crossfire? And does it seem like it's getting more popular?
I know valorant only recently launched in China but as far as your perceptions go: will valorant actually be successful long term in china?
