nobody___100 [#3]fr, china should only have 2 spots, the level of play is so mid
riot dont gaf about the level of play of chinese teams, they just want those sweet sweet chinese viewership numbers
nooomy [#5]riot dont gaf about the level of play of chinese teams, they just want those sweet sweet chinese viewership numbers
Man they can still get the viewership with 3 seeds. Give that last spot to the region with the Shanghai winner.

china originally had ZERO slots lmao wdym "change it now" 😂😂
BananaBezos [#11]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
lmao lets just have 15 gc teams and one non-gc team at champs then how does that sound
horse69 [#12]lmao lets just have 15 gc teams and one non-gc team at champs then how does that sound
what is bro yapping abt
StalwartTiger_35 [#13]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 regiontoo 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?
horse69 [#10]china originally had ZERO slots lmao wdym "change it now" 😂😂
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

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

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")

On league play in is one group of 5, they are 4 region so probably 1 group of 4
OkOkay [#14]what is bro yapping abt
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
bladaaa [#17]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
horse69 [#22]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.
horse69 [#24]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
