dont expect much, it'll be yet another funky tournament with some rules or team variations making it less serious then any vct match. will be fun to watch though
no tarik literally said they are doing something in this tournament that has never been done before in val. ludwig said" riot does a lot of esports vct matches anyway throughout the year" they want to do something else with this event. which could mean many things, but i am inclined to believe that it'll somehow takeaway the competetive aspect of it. (like how agent bans work. the matches are still serious, but they cant be considered as the same as vct)
I'm not expecting much from this event but hopefully it won't be streamer showdown or something 💀
It actually looks pretty hype, I think 100t one more NA franchised team(prob c9 or EG cause SEN and NRG practice has just started) will be in a bracket vs 2 Emea teams.
But maybe that’s not true idk
Ludwig said on his podcast that they were having trouble with teams backing out and it would probably be delayed
