Valorant is just becoming another CS

#1

Jivko

Franchising is gonna kill this game globally and turn it into another CS where Europe will dominate like hell.

Americas - 1 team region (EU org lol)
Pacific - 1 team region (PRX)
China - 0 team region
EMEA - 6,7 teams on a top level

No real promising talent besides 2-3 players each in both AMER and APAC Tier 2 to feed into Tier 1, while in EU there's 5-10 every year.

And since there's a limit to the spots per region in the internationals, the product will become so unwatchable that even less players will want to become pro in this game. Maybe then Riot will realize how bad franchising is. Or maybe not, if all they care about is the money.

mad just cause all ur good teams (besides TL) are so washed they are getting stomped by GX and BBL
maybe the region just fell off bro, it doesnt mean you suddenly have 6-7 winning teams

Yes, your "best" team loses anti eco to a 1v4 ninja defuse. Your competitive big booty latinas team's star duelist Iso ults after his shield expires. This is peak "competitiveness"

Where was this BBL performance all year?
Why is pipson out coaching everyone suddenly?
Lets face it, FNC have a shit map pool so they fell off. TH are just chokers. EMEA top teams fell off while the rest made changes to improve just enough to beat an out of form TH and FNC. The regional peak is lower overall. TL have always been good so they serve as the best benchmark of this regional falloff. Unless they lose to GX (they won't) my theory is all but confirmed.

too early for ragebait bro but I do agree the state of tier2 outside EMEA is depressing in terms of support from Riot and quality of talent being produced but I guess it will get better in the future

EMEA is not a 6,7 team region and right now APAC has looked the strongest region.
We'll see how it fares in champs

As much as I love GX the roster is unproven in the international stage, TL is shaky, and FNC and TH lost in the playoffs so right now they're not even doing that good

I am a Brit who was raised in Singapore, if PRX is the only top team from Pacific care to explain how EMEA hasn't won an international LAN since 2023, and how every Masters since Shanghai has been won by a Pacific team, and how every LAN since Shanghai Masters was won by an Asian team, or how NA won Champs 2023 and SEN won Masters Madrid.

I'm surprised by how balanced the regions are actually not that things can't change maybe one day one region will be dominant
