huh
i thought they were already locked in with how many teams there should be from each region in champions
it's weird for Chinese fans and teams who were expecting China to have 4 slots

its weird for all other fans and teams over the world who have been expecting same level of competition from china's 4 teams

They clearly care about chinese fans and teams a lot (too much, you could argue)
otherwise they wouldn't have established vct cn in the first place
The only way to make them improve quickly is to make them play a ton of international events

Man they can still get the viewership with 3 seeds. Give that last spot to the region with the Shanghai winner.

they are playing around with the format, next year itll be different. I kind of liked the idea of extra slots for title winning regions for the next tournament

Don’t repeat valve mistake, the weakest region should get more slots so that teams get more experience and reduce the gap between China and other regions, look for example at cs now, all of Asia is in decline, essentially a game of one region

if we give more spots to weaker region (china in this case) we might as well throw GC teams in champs so they can also get "more experience and reduce the gap" between GC and normal league

We not even giving "more" spot, we give "same amount of spot" to every region even if some are better than other. If some region are better than other they don't need the advantage and the help of having more spots

International event should be only for best team of each region, if you are #5 you are not one of the best team of your region.

Definitely agree, slot should be one size of the market you aim to convert, not size of actual market you already have gatekeeping new market to enter. (And thats also why every T1 league should be roughly the same amount of market size)

The nightclub paradox is a bad thing ("You can enter only if you are a regular")

just to make it less obvious
3 americas
3 emea
3 apac
3 china
masters 1 winner
masters 2 winner
top 2 from play ins with 4th seed from each region

too early for riot to make valorant like league with some major regions getting more representation than others

everything until the play ins part, where would you host the play ins? international LAN for play-ins?

yeah it would be held in the same venue. basically it would be like if champs had 18 teams but there was an extra stage before groups. in league last year the na and eu 4th seeds played a bo5 on lan to decide who would "qualify", so I'm thinking something similar.

teams would never fly out their team for 1 game tho, waste of money for riot or the org, whoever pays

On league play in is one group of 5, they are 4 region so probably 1 group of 4

there's 1.4 billion people on china. more slots = more exposure = more money
