Riot needs to change the franchising host city.
Cuz putting it on the US was the dumbest thing they did.
Not only is it incredibly expensive even just livable wages in LA
The teams that don't have NA players basically get fucked with visa issues and the monetary exchange rate.
Riot wants to have a financially stable scene? Change the fucking city, you will cut the maintenance costs by half.
Even Buenos Aires is a better pick right now (RIP Argentina)
if you are not willing to burn money...
then why join esports...?
also like
its so much harder for NA players to adjust to Brazil than it is for brazilian and other south american players to adjust to america
because of how internationally friendly and diverse america is.
and like, ranked would be fucked (ironically how a lot of players practice)
cause no english speaking servers
Most brazillian players know enough english to comm and shi

there is just so much wrong with your statement
you dont join e-sports (as an org) cuz you want to burn money, you join cause you want to make it, be it by brand, merchandise or trade.
Also, studies of immigration in brazil show that foreigns prefer Brazil on the majority, people who lived in "better" more "developed" countries visit Brazil and stay because they prefer the living conditions of the country.
It is factually easier to adapt to Brazil than USA
"ranked would be fucked cuz no english" what? why is it that the latam and br players need to bend over backwards for americans, but you americans cant do a lil bit of effort?
do you know what language latam teams comm? spanish, but even then there are difficulties due to dialect
do you know what language br teams comm? portuguese
"most brazilian players know how to comm in english" No they dont, they dont think in english. do you even know how hard it is for non-fluent people to communicate in other languages?? use your brain. even as a toddler, a knowledge sponge, it took you atleast 2 -3 years to learn j=how to speak your OWN LANGUAGE.
Stop thinking like the world revolves around the USA

he is fucking australian please stop calling mr. upsidedown man an american (no offense cloudy, but ur country is just desert with crazy animals)
I'd rather it in Mexico city than the US, especially rather than LA, and I'd also rather toronto/ontario somewhere in that region, but besides those and MAYBE the dominican republic (idk enough abt logistics) I'd rather it be in the US in an eastern city like Atlanta or Boston
English is the language of the future whether people like it or not, blame the UK for colonizing everything just for spices they don't use
Latam north ranked from my understanding is basically dead, they just play NA, BR, or LS but that doesn't rule out brazil or LATAM south which idk abt
Most people think badly of Lock\in's crowd, and such it tainted any chance of it being hosted in brazil, or at the very least in sao paulo, maybe it could be in rio or salvador(would be cool since that is raze's city)
At the end of the day, its not going to get moved though, because while the world doesn't perfectly revolve around the US, valorant revolves around the Riot HQ in LA
also hiiiiii cioccolat
alyve [#4]the only other cities i could see it being hosted in is seattle or st louis so pick yor poison
St Louis LMAOOOO
Has to be a joke any city would be better than St Louis

Hii Psion
Tbh moving to Canada would be a big dub since the Canadian visa is friendlier towards SA

i want it in atlanta bc it'd be hype to go to games
This issue of changing the region of country the vct americas I agree with because, there are several teams that ended up harmed after the master Madrid like Loud and Sen with the visas of four players from Loud and one from Sen and this harmed them in this second split. This next year, maybe move to Central or South America, where Riot is based in South America, maybe Brazil or Argentina

riot has offices in st louis for whatever reason
