valulrantefanboy [#2]APAC now have Japan and Korean teams ? I though JP/Korean teams will be in another league (with CN teams in future) ? I really think they should make APAC south and APAC east like Apex
There will be an EMEA league, an AMERICAS league (na and SA) and an Asian league (APAC+east Asia)
queueK [#6]I think Riot are shooting themselves in the foot if they don't preemptively allow a few Chinese orgs into the league, but then that leaves less space for SEA teams.
I wish there were more slots
There are most probably 12 slots and for some reason I think japan will have only 2 teams despite so good scene and orgs

NO the chinese haven't done shit in valo yet and im sure theyll add more slots later on like in league all regions don't have same slots

adding more slots later sets a weird precedent IMO

the region with bigger player base and more competition gets more slots its that simple how is it weird?

for every team in every other region that was on the brink of getting into the league, it's a massive fuck you to see organizations from a country that has done nothing during the application period to get in posthumously while they're stuck outside.
tldr: it would look like RIOT is sucking Chinese dick
which makes sense business-wise but still.

it wouldn't tho coz Chinese didn't have Valo 'officially' for 2 years and hence they exception being made for them later on
spookmeister [#13]geng apac?
they cannot announce due to non dickloser agreement being signed with riot
ufc [#14]where do we get live updates about this franchise thing?
Seulgi (iKyoto), BoDork and George Geddes are the only people constantly giving updates afaik
Astar [#17]I'm gonna hate riot so much if they decided to give more spots to JP/KR/CN more than Apac
what is the criteria?
like organizations have to prove their long term investment plans into the game of valorant?
Astar [#17]I'm gonna hate riot so much if they decided to give more spots to JP/KR/CN more than Apac
Yeah fuck them
FlyingDoggoWoweeClap2 [#20]LETS KILL VALORANT SCENE IN SEA GIVE MORE SLOTS FOR KR and JP Pog
Chill, those are the orgs that we know of, I'm sure quite a few APAC orgs also made the cut
Sprouts [#21]Chill, those are the orgs that we know of, I'm sure quite a few APAC orgs also made the cut
at this rate we (SEA) bout to get 1 slots at best LMAO
ufc [#18]what is the criteria?
like organizations have to prove their long term investment plans into the game of valorant?
probably financial matters the most (whether they can provide a steady salary), history & legacy (like whether they're estabished org and have a proper fanbase), passion for valorant (ambition of the owner towards valorant scene)
all these Korean orgs have everything in check compared to most SEA's orgs
sazanka [#22]Is it possible for a japanese org to not have a japanese roster then considering apac is counted as 1 region now?
Looking at other "franchise" thing that's possible
sazanka [#22]Is it possible for a japanese org to not have a japanese roster then considering apac is counted as 1 region now?
yes i think this can happend
they gonna import 5 players lol
Astar [#17]I'm gonna hate riot so much if they decided to give more spots to JP/KR/CN more than Apac
nah f that we've suffered long enough with no organisation support its about time we have something for once 😭
sazanka [#22]Is it possible for a japanese org to not have a japanese roster then considering apac is counted as 1 region now?
I would love to see that
gonna be interesting to see japanese pro player competing in international roster, he would be a personality
jimjam789 [#27]nah f that we've suffered long enough with no organisation support its about time we have something for once 😭
yall guys have rich enough history in esports. let apac build their own history for this time ffs
Astar [#17]I'm gonna hate riot so much if they decided to give more spots to JP/KR/CN more than Apac
JP/KR/CN (East Asia) deserve the same amount of slots as APAC imo, which would be 6 and 6. Both regions have two teams in the top four Asian teams (PRX > DRX > NTH > XIA) and Japan makes up majority of the viewership by far. If they get more than half you can be angry, but it's reasonable to split them half and half.

Agree but there for sure will be slots for OCE and SA

fairs
I'm expecting 4:4 for both SEA and East Asia
with OCE 1 and SA 1
if its 10 slots
but its very doubtful since Korean orgs are more stable

Yeah, you're right. On paper it should be just DRX and DK in the league, but I have a feeling that T1 and Gen.G are going to complicate things

imagine if Gen.G buyout the entire PRX org that would be funny

I’d like to honestly see that

Talk about LOL, every league has 10 teams except china (17). Riot will obviously allow chinese teams, tencent will force them to.
