all 30 franchised teams in a tourney held in sao paolo. That tourney will break fucking records. Mark my words. Brazil fanbase will do us proud.

they start kicking eachother off until one team stays standing

well it makes sense from Riot on having plans for an event in Japan since the game is really popular there

No I believe it will be franchised teams. But I could be wrong

I agree, though I feel like Champions would be better held in Japan based off of what I got to see from that LAN. The entire event and atmosphere looked amazing already at that stage.

Edit: Plus the fanbase is pretty decent in Japan, and the feeling the crowd gave from it at that event felt more like a bigger tournament than Riots current LANS allow. I've been hoping there would be a possibility at a LAN in Japan since I watched those games.

Japan have big fanbase, big crowd but very strict VISA policy

Would love this

Yeah, this is the problem. That's why Pacific region will be held in Seoul, South Korea, not in Japan. :(

not with current jp visa restrictions it wont be possible but hopefully it happens

Guys, Japan is not open to tourism yet. Unless the masters is next year late or somewhere after that time, Japan won't be able to host an event like this.

It's opening rapidly, actually, and will have been open for a while by the the Masters roles around.

they said Riot does have plans for having an event in Japan at some point next year, still not fully confirmed yet but if there's no problem until then they will probably confirm it immediately.

If not next year, I hope to see a LAN in Japan in the future. The recent LAN they held looked amazing

No it is not opening rapidly. There are some people that are trying to halt the progress. This is why I said that unless it's next year late, it won't happen. I don't know when Masters begin but it is not possible to book an event in Japan any time now.

It will obviously happen one time in future because Valorant is popular in Japan, but not the next Masters if it's held soon, that's what I'm saying.
