VALORANT CHAMPIONS BERLIN (DEC. 1–12)
You watched challengers rise and masters fall. Now 16 teams will compete in an international double-elimination tournament, and it’s all to become the VALORANT World Champions.
I swear if there are no groups and they make a 16 team bracket off the getgo it would be so stupid
Origin [#2]no that is bad 16 team double elim just isnt it just fucking do the iem cologne bracket works the best
If im not wrong, wasnt the IEM cologne bracket for 24 teams not 16?
Trykan [#4]If im not wrong, wasnt the IEM cologne bracket for 24 teams not 16?
It would start with the group stage. 2 groups of 8 (double elim), 3 teams move on from groups. Top seed of each group goes straight to semis
Trykan [#4]If im not wrong, wasnt the IEM cologne bracket for 24 teams not 16?

yeah but i mean without the play in stage there is just 16

meh, there is better formats then the IEM cologne, the major one is also better than IEM cologone
yungbasel [#10]If in the wildest of realities it was just a 16 team double elim tournamentl; you heard it here first that Riot themselves have already deemed valorant a failed experiment and that this game is dying before CSGO does lol.
At the absolute LEAST the format should be the same as Berlin Masters 3
good bait no cap
feaN [#12]They should make it like pgl 21 major
rito doesn’t like running 2 streams at once because it gives lesser exposure to smaller regions so Swiss stage isn’t happening, I wish it did though
