Ideal 2025 VCT Locations

I want Riot to get a little funky with the locations next year. This year we had/will have Madrid, Shanghai, and Seoul.

Masters 1: Want this in APAC that doesn't include Korea.
-Masters Singapore would be cool. Would be my #1 choice
-Masters in Australia, ideally in Sydney. Host it at the same IEM Sydney event for CS.
-Masters Jakarta?

Masters 2: I want this to be in NA for sure. By this point, it'd be 4 events in a row without an event in NA, and we've only held 1 so far (LA Champs)
-Masters New York City (Madison Square Garden would be nuts)
-Masters Chicago
-Masters Toronto (imo, the best place to hold an event in Canada)
-Masters Mexico City for Mexico

Champs 2025:
-Maybe South America? Doesn't have to be Brazil. Argentina would be neat. Buenos Aires perhaps?
-Not opposed to Europe either. Think the best location would be Paris, France as Riot has a good track record with events held there.

Masters London pls

I'd actually be really down for a Champs in London.

reason I'm not opposed to more events in Europe is because of time zones.

they need to use south america wayyyyyyyy more

i agree with Champions Buenos Aires
Champions Montevideo

SA has amazing time zone and passionate fans, only problem is their valorant teams are usually weak but with kru looking more solid it can be good

also more western asia/eastern europe would be good

reason im opposed is
masters reykjavik
masters berlin
champs berlin
masters reykjavik
masters copenhagen
champs istanbul

europe can wait until 2026 for another event they had 2 straight years of exclusive hosting

I know there's been an insane amount of events held in Europe, but there's a good reason for that.

Can switch Masters 1 and 2 locations tbh.

Where do you imagine they have the infrastructure to host an esports event in Cancun? It’s relatively removed from the major population centers in Mexico, it’s mainly for tourists. In person attendance would be dismal. Did you just base it off the name alone?

Funny enough, I based it off that 1 CS:GO event held there, but now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure that event had no crowd, or a really small one. Mexico City would probably be a better choice.

masters 2 atlanta

if you're a broke boy just say so...
im a broke boy

I felt like for the sake of viewership and fans, they would have Masters and Champions next year somewhere in Europe and NA. Honestly, I would love it is somewhere in Asia due to the timezones but nah this year is already a blessing

???

if they can get madison square garden holy fuck

Masters New York I will be there no matter what if it happens

envyz [#26]

if they can get madison square garden holy fuck

Riot has held Worlds at MSG already. They can definitely do it again

cloudberry [#25]

???

i can't visit reykjavik i got no money

MASTERS MONGOLIA PLEEEASE RIOT

Japan because w crowd

My personal opinion I would do Vancouver over Toronto imo, LoL already had a event go through Vancouver. I think the West Coast has the chances of being a good spot to host a Masters event.

nobody___100 [#29]

i can't visit reykjavik i got no money

Ah... well, there are surprisingly cheap flights there, believe it or not. If not, then just fly to Keflavík and take transport there

masters singapore
masters toronto
champs london/paris

orqn [#34]

masters singapore
masters toronto
champs london/paris

I fuck with this a lot

anything else than NA and im happy

I will actually go no doubt

one needs to go to canada either toronto or van

nobody___100 [#19]

if your lan attendance requires people to take a vacation to not look empty, consider hosting elsewhere.

bronnyjames_ [#38]

one needs to go to canada either toronto or van

True. I think Canada as the better NA choice atm considering the cancer that is US Visas

laeDLaer [#5]

masters 1 new york
master 2 berlin
champs minsk

we don’t need berlin anymore it’s been used twice in 2021

I’d say it should be Masters 1: Singapore Masters 2: New York Champions: Paris nothing in China ever again

anywhere but brazil, fans will send death threats if their team gets shat on

Minsk

lmao

Champs Pyongyang the year after 😹😹

masters manila will go hard crowd wise + this will put a lot of pressure to team secret

vancouver > toronto and i live in toronto

i would fw masters nyc heavy

Ballsamolee [#15]

most

pyongyang, ashgabat, kinshasa 🗿

I'm down for a Filipino event

Champs Buenos Aires would be crazy tbh. But i think that Santiago will be better, at this point cs is more popular than valorant in argentina and valo is more popular in chile. But i think Masters Santiago will be great because champs will be better in other place like any country in southeast asia

BrotherMan [#46]

vancouver > toronto and i live in toronto

Toronto would be a better time zone though no?

Masters Paris would be sick. A chamber themed masters event would go hard.

thats NA behaviour, you are confused

FireII [#49]

pyongyang, ashgabat, kinshasa 🗿

🤫 🧏

Champions Curitiba (Way safer than RIO and Sao Paulo)

Masters Santiago (Give Chile some Love)

Masters Buenos Aires (Saadhak home country)

Toronto would be a better time zone though no?

If you want beautiful shots to open the streams with do Vancouver. Plus way more options for the media/hype packages. Then do Vancouver.
