10 teams only?
EU and NA deserve 4 spots each which would make it total of 14 and then add 2 more from any other regions to make it 16 and we play 2 groups of 8 and everyone gets to play 7 matches letsgooooo
Playoffs
1st A and 2nd A + 1st B and 2nd B seed directly in QF
3a v 6b, 4a v 5b, 5a v 4b, 6a v 3b for other 4 spots in QF
Group stage best of 3
Playoffs best of 5 every match
Showmatch by players from losing teams on map breze before finals
greedeetv [#7]Because NA makes valorant the most money
Okay, it makes sense, but that way the NA teams would probably fight to get out of the group stage and become a punching bag for teams from stronger regions, reducing the level of competition. I believe that the way the Champions was distributed is the ideal

While that could VERY POSSIBLY be true, WE DON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE, ok? And they won't take slots away from NA just because of a PREDICTION that they will get shit on

You want to distribute spots by giving at least one per region, followed by results based spots, and maybe you can factor in playerbase as well, not just for money if you care at all about the game being a good eSport.

Well I don't agree with his point, I was just saying that in his model, NA's gonna receive more spots because of the attention and sponsorship they bring the game. That would be the main reason why.
Helix_Exton [#10]16 spots:
3 NA
5 EMEA
2 BR
2 LATAM
1 APAC
1 OCE
1 KR
1 MENA
Yeah this is pretty ideal for 16 spots. Don't know how you could do a qualifier for 3 or 5 spots though, would be a bit awkward lol

just do an NA style double elim bracket, idk why EU has the weird partial double elim groups thing, it's so funky
PrTsty [#16]Normally its 16 teams, NA 3, EMEA 4, Brazil 2, Latam 1, Japan 2, SEA 2, Korea 2, due to covid there are only 10 teams tho

This is the first valorant LAN event, how do you know whats 'normal'
