Potentially VALORANT in EWC?

In one of the countdown's on the Saudi EWC website they had two countdowns sitting one hour next to each other, this double countdown has happened before only once with Mobile Legends having 2 events announced next to each other.

There's been apparently a leaked slide on Chinese forum that indicates 2 VALORANT entries in EWC (one normal and one GC) however it's accuracy is unclear

I mean isn't EWC during Split 2?

Yeah that is the elephant in the room here, EWC entirely run during July-August which immediately overlaps with Split 2
unless they find a way to cramp those in

Yeah, they will probably do a pause in Split 2 and do a small 8-team event in EWC, like they did for LOL this year

nrg is winning obviously

That would be cool tbh

But maybe its just me we dont need a GC EWC but i get the point of showing love to everyone and thats cool

Interesting. That would mean that (if they don't want to clash with Split 2) The Val portion of the EWC would have to be at the very start
It'd also mean teams that attend Toronto wouldn't be able to go

It's contradictory regardless but a saudi funded GC EWC would be insanely contradictory.

Sorry, but having a GC tournament in EWC in a country where women couldn't fucking drive until 2018 is incredibly tone deaf if any team chooses to go to it

the entire ewc for CS lasted 4 days..... if valorant cant find a way to make it work with stage 2 than its because they dont want to
