I'm all for it tbh. The only region that's actually investing a lot in developing their talent. It's like 9 out of 12 teams that have an acad team.
deranker [#2]exact reason why Asia (Pacific and CN) are dominating Valorant soon
Yeah I think so too. Korea and China will rule Valorant soon enough
trikecycle [#4]EG won champs using a 10 man roster and this is the modern equivalent now that academy teams are an option. Such a great opportunity for these teams and it’s a waste that other regions aren’t taking advantage of it
it baffled me that EG didn’t pick up another academy (but ig they are still kinda run by a skeleton crew)

maybe next year
nrg, furia, vitality, gentle mates are all better than the best asia team
t1 and edg might be top 5
Warlordwibz [#6]Regional asia level salary come in clutch.
Definitely a big factor considering 4 out of 5 of the Americas teams with an academy or LATAM or BR
Though that does make me wonder why some more EU teams dont set up with a focus on Turkish and Eastern European talent (free CIS pls), I imagine those salaries would be about on par with expenditure from KR and JP
Also interesting BBL Pcific doesn't officially count as an academy lol

dont think they can afford another 5 players when they barely have the money for the 5 they have rn

It's an Affiliate team
capital_d_colon [#12]Yeah i'm a big fan of academy teams although I feel bad for the tier 2 orgs in SEA.
Their league had already been condensed and the added academy rosters will squeeze them even more.
If SEA split 1 has 12 teams, there will be only 9 tier 2 orgs.
Even in vcj I do think that we don't need zeta and dfm yet because we might be missing out orgs like sengoku and scarz.

this cocky and arrogant attitude that is common not just among the americas region fans but the paycheck stealers too will be the downfall of the americas region.

cause in other games, western regions gets extra slots in competition. Make sense to do this since valorant giving every region equal slots.

EU and NA , SA almost never has and still manage to win , i can only see them dominating in maybe 5 years when this game get filled with agents , but CIS still exist

if they somehow dont then its a testament to the strength of the other regions
