End Valorant Americas
This bullshit of visas cannot be happenning every year.
If not, VCT Americas should be in Brazil or Mexico that are a much better country for hosting an e-sports scene called "Americas"
I would fw Toronto heavy
EST would make global viewership higher fs
it aligns with South America and makes watching from Europe easier, the west coast can still watch pretty easily
Canada also has less bureaucracy with visas (they still have some, but in my personal experience it's less than the US)
its not really riots fault. LA is literally where Riot's HQ is so it makes the most sense to try to host an event that is close to where their headquartered. Visa problems happen all the time and its up to the orgs to try to get them resolved as soon as possible. its genuinely unfortunate and unlucky though
