But what exactly was out of their control in the situation a mentioned? I know they have nothing to do with the VISAS, but It was a round robin tournament. Are you 100% sure there was no way they could postpone one match? If so, they should work to make their schedules more flexible, there was a freaking 6 months off-season last year, they had time.

Im not saying the solution is to move Riot HQ, im saying that they made an easy choice of making the VCT Americas in Los Angeles, but the problem lies in the fact that they dont make any efforts to compensate the disadvantages the gave to the other regions in >AMERICAS<. Postponing matches could be a way of compensation even if its little, but they should be prepared for these issues and have a rearrangement of schedules as a plan B prepared for these situations. (sorry for any english mistakes, not my first language)

I know its hard to find a solution especially for this Kickoff playoff format, but the situation really sucks. In VCT every match matters, one loss could be enough to ruin the whole team's year. And its not like its the first time this happens, but Riot always just goes: "it is what it is". Its a lot dreams on the line you feel me?

I think it should be feasible, especially in extreme occasions like this LOUD one that occurred right after Masters Madrid and they had enough time to rearrange the schedule for 1 game, these issues give advantages to one side and disadvantages to the other sides, harming competitive integrity. They should work to find a way to compensate the disadvantages, since they are probably not moving VCT Americas away from USA

but riot could do something else to compensate the permanent advantage they give to NA.

For example, when LOUD was stuck in north ireland with no PC's to play the game, not even a LAN house, and only came back a few hours before their game against NRG in Stage 1, riot didnt even postpone the match, it was not even a playoff match or an international event, it was just the first game of regional and LOUD had to play the match. They just came out of the airplane and went straight to the match after not touching a mouse and keyboard for a month. It cant be that hard to postpone 1 singular regular season match.

Vitality signed Derke and Less and somehow drained all their aura alway just to stay as an auraless team

said that with an England flag where people get stabbed in the streets for no reason 😂😂😂

You are the reason shampoo bottles come with instructions

geng getting grouped at champions erased the tiktok short memory of some people

its so ugly that it looks cool ingame

this baldo was malding in vlr, -10000 aura

why did they choose bonkar over a world champion coach?

icy stocks if G2 flops this year:📈📈📈

Real VARdrid 😂😂😂

LOUD Haven 2023 was also really good, im pretty sure they won all havens that year with the Harbor Viper comp, and in 2022 they lost like 2 havens max

I had in my memory that Chronicle won Champions for some reason but he did not, but this guy Kiles bottom fragged ALL 5 maps of a grand final and WON Champions lmao. Old VCT was something else

I was looking some old vct matches, and its so funny that nAts lost the trophy going +31 and Kiles became a World Champion going -31

the streets are saying its Erick Santos

They do have something like this in league, its just not global awards, instead they have awards in the regions. The LCK is the Korean league and they have a ceremony to awards the best players in LCK. Here in Brazil we have the "CBLOL", its the brazilian league, and even tho its a minor region, we also have an award show at the end of the season.

In CS they only started in 2022 i think, and its easier for them to make those cuz all the best players and teams are in Europe anyways. In Valorant it would be harder to schedule an event like that with the best players and teams being all over the world

The international leagues awards the best players of the season in their own regions, but they just make a post online saying who was voted to be the best and send the award to the players. They could do a whole show about it in their VCT Arenas and make a cool ceremony/party/celebration event with all teams and Valorant related people at the end of every season with those awards in all 4 regions.

The awards are like this right now:

when they dont go 3/14 in my team (very weird behavior!) 😍😍😍

Tuyz went 4/8 in the attack half with aspas going 21/7, and on defense he went 6/12, with aspas being the only one positive, i dont know how some people consider him to be even close to pANcada

what prac ?😂 we're going full blind play some ranked games in kickoff and see what happens, its so over

you underestimate the difficulties of traveling around the world as a brazilian

saadhak gets the pass

In an emotional act of empathy for FURIA all teams should just give up on the tourney and auto qualify FURIA to masters ☝️

!!!

why not

If FURIA doesnt get to make it in time for the match, or just dont get their VISAS at all, what happens?

I hate that they turned latam's second spot at VCT into just another NA team, last year atleast 3 out of the 5 players were latin american, now its only kingg. Not even the coaching staff is latin american

"1.35-1.50 like any other pro"

and there is Demon1 with 1.08 KD, peak immortal 3 with 120 games played

im pretty sure that was an act that Less reached rank 1 radiant playing in a 60hz monitor 🐐

most of them were Aspas - Less - Saadhak - Sacy - Pancada fans. Now its just a shadow of what it was, the org made some really bad decisions managing the team, especially with the aspas departure in 2023

hes top 2 all time, right now top 5 i think

LOUD was a superteam for the brazilian scene, when they were just the absolute best 5 players in the region, internationally most people didnt really follow the BR scene and a lot of people trash talked BR as one of the worst regions in the game, LOUD became a superteam internationally when they started beating everyone outside of brazil too and only lost to 2 teams the entire year. They went from "worst region in the game" to World Champions, but initially very few people in the international community was paying attention to LOUD when it was first announced

I know, but Tuyz achievements happened in the same 2 years of Yay's fall off, i dont think a few off season maps just erases that. (not saying LOUD is good rn or will win, but i think the perception of Yay>Tuyz in big 2025 is just wrong as of right now)

how is Yay > Tuyz with Yay being embarassed for 2 years straight in the biggest fall off of all time and Tuyz being Americas Champions, top 2 lockin, top 3 Champions, kickoff finalist and top 4 madrid?

"KOI 17 - 6 KC"

someone tell saadhak to stop with the schizo phoenix and also get him off the neon

the thing is they both lost those games 😭

both scared of KK's and Aspas aura

and hes probably never hitting his potential playing for t0l0n

but they still jumped off the map

y0y

"Ethan" 😂😂😂

1 - Fracture
2 - Sunset
3 - Abyss
4 - Split
5 - Bind

thank you for your efforts o7

i respect that you are Furia pilled, but you must remember that "Furia when it matters" and "Furia when it does not matter" are two different teams, we also have to pray that Khalil is in the verge of getting fired so he can turn into prime pANcada too
