Why does every baiter use the laughing cat emoji? Almost seems synonymous with baiting at this point
joui_jouki [#6]VCT EMEA crowd is probably the most boring out of all regions, is it in Germany?
Berlin, literally no fans
Spain/France/Turkey would be much better for crowd
I would fw this heavy
we actually have TR teams too so there's real home crowd support
I'm guessing for players that get paid in euros cost of living would be much better than in Berlin too
Only other location which I think would be cool is maybe Paris, it's better than Berlin but still has a high cost + visa issues
Mortadelo [#12]Renting an arena for an event does not mean Riot has the infrastructure. Pretty sure Riot owns the Berlin Arena full time, it’s not that simple.
if they can rent in pacific they can rent emea too
baconbrian [#10]nah Istanbul aint safe for players and riot
Riot has headquarters in Istanbul you idiot. Istanbul is actually safer in terms of violent crimes than Paris and London

league of legends is also very big here and afaik riot has its own arena in istanbul
KOMPOSTO [#17]nah speaking as a turk living in the west, dont force anyone to live in istanbul
our people dont know what civilization is and live like animals. you cant even walk a crosswalk without waiting for 50 cars to stop
a masters/champs in istanbul? sure but living in turkey for 9 months is torture
ankara clears shitstanbul

Have you ever wondered that it is the same person
Dort, Assmolestia
Have you seen these NRG/EG/Optic fans ever argue amongst each other

That is definitely a problem in Istanbul but the richer areas especially in european side is much better with the salaries these players have they wouldn’t have a problem living in Istanbul

Even tho apeks didnt make this official, Oderus is prob the 6th man for the squad
Also hes officially signed to apeks which makes him an import
KClaw [#33]Well then isn't the same possible with france as well, they also have a tremendous number of people watching vct?
#7, I'm cool with France or Spain too. But still i want it to be in Istanbul so i can go to watch some games occasionally :p

Paris is a sht hole and also expensive aswell (more than Berlin)
i dont understand the sentiment against germany, the Visa issue is not german exclusive, its for all european countries aswell as the cost of living is relatively mediocre for a capital city, housing wise Paris, Madrid, Munich and Cologne are way more expensive. Also it is kinda in the centre of europe, if u want to watch a game in spain u need to fly w a plane if ur from eastern europe or scandinavia or baltic the same as if u want to watch a game in warsaw or Prag or London, yeah there are less fans in Germany itself but also the Arena isnt build for thousands of ppl and also Riot has made investments alr so it would make no sense to move somewhere else again and why renting a different arena when u alr own one?
Huitzilopochtli [#38]Paris is a sht hole and also expensive aswell (more than Berlin)
I mean for VCT, not in general no need to get all patriotic
Aayan [#42]I mean for VCT, not in general no need to get all patriotic
i havent lost a word on germany lmao im only hating on Paris also read #40 why i think it should stay in berlin lmao
gamergirl [#16]it should be in paris or madrid tbh, germ0ny has too many visa issues
visa issues in Paris and Spain would be the same lmao
Jivko [#47]Might be controversial but I'd say Bulgaria will be a great option. Our capital has the perfect arena with 10k seats that I'm sure can be easily filled up, + great internet + it's cheap to live there + the weather is nice
flor wouldnt survive a day lmao
kirito5133 [#13]if they can rent in pacific they can rent emea too
If you already have an arena, moving away just to rent another one is quite literally like flushing the money down the toilet

he actually the assistant so he an import anyways, not a player import so there is no restriction applied tho but an import nonetheless
