If Riot is going to expand next year for 2022 and have a 24 team tournament, what do you think the slot distribution should be like? I split EMEA into EU/CIS/TR since that is what is rumored. IMO:
NA: 4
EU: 3
CIS: 2
TR: 1
BR: 2
LATAM: 2
SEA: 3
JP: 1
KR: 2
SA: 1 (new)
OCE/AUS: 2 (new)
CN: 1 (new)

Middle East, Africa, TR: 2
EMEA Last Chance: 1
BR: 1

South America Last Chance: 2
SEA: 2
South Asian: 1
SEA+SA Last Chance: 1
JP: 1
KR: 1
China: 1
North Asian Last Chance: 1
OCE/AUS: 1
EDIT: I think latam & br last chance should get 2 spot (better competition) so
br 1 spot, latam 1, and SA last chance 2
As much as I want SA to be represented , we still aren't even close to beating CR which was the last placed team at Champions this year. We need more practice with better teams before we get a direct Champions slot. Maybe integrate us into the SEA VCT so that we get regular practice with SEA teams.
I'm not saying we shouldn't absolutely get a slot but integration into SEA should be number 1 priority.
If a team is actually good enough they can qualify through SEA and if we show consistently good results give us a direct slot.
it will be bad for indian scene if there is no indian seat
no sponsors will sponsor a sea integrated circuit
but if a indian circuit was developed the sponsors will help players and region grow so much rather than being a second hand to sea
teams like enigma are also catching up to ge and vlt and if region grows more improvement
and the ones more hungry to win will end up winning
lul they can beat team like cr if they can beat team like DAMWON Gaming and do please don't consider online tourney performance against sg team where indian play 60-70 ping and sg team on 10 ping even teams like secret lost to team like lvr and other sg teams in online tourneys and SA cant be integrated into sea first sea it self has many countries and ping difference between SA and SEA . If SA doesn't get direct slot in master next year or gets integrated in SEA the game will Dead like CS and dota in india as we didnt had any exposure to other regions in that games .
Not agreed if GE can give competition to teams like LVR, DAMWON, F4Q we can surely beat beat CR. VLT also dominated Bleed.We are surely not very far away even though we rarely get to play international matches. If riot wants our region to improve international exposure is surely needed. I dont get the idea of we dont deserve slot and all, we havent even got a chance to prove ourselves.
Personally I agree with the 24 slot idea, especially because it will make these events feel more grand than just a couple day stint. I don't think splitting the highly competitive regions into smaller regions would help with the games progression though. EMEA have proven in the last couple months that it is better to combine more regions into one. NA deserve more spots as it will drive the viewership up and they need more international events so NA can understand the meta. Korea have shown that they are a one team region, but maybe by allowing more of these teams to make it through they could be real competitors. OCE/AUS have not yet gotten a chance and I think giving them 2 slots for next years VCT is a good way of balancing that out. Japan, although having high viewership numbers, is not that great of a region. If LATAM win this champions, I think they would be given 4 in favour of removing smaller regions like SA which could just be thrown into the Korean or Japanese circuits occasionally.
NA: 4
EMEA: 4
BR: 2
LATAM: 2
SEA: 3
JP: 1
KR: 3
OCE/AUS: 2
CN: 1
LATAM 2 SLOTS and -JP slot and put JP to APAC qualifer slot
JP need to earn it to get into here instead of relaxing and getting destroyed like every other lan
after seeing KRU i wanna see how this region have more than 1 slot and we know EU is so good and too good but KRU managed to defeat one of the best EU team so yeah
Everybody wanting to take Brazil slots away
The brazilian scene hasn't develop itself yet. Most part of the teams havn't entered in the scene yet.
Since always a country known for being on of the greates in tactical FPS, and you want to give them just 1 slot?
While NA, that has never done anything relevant to FPSs will stay with 3 and four.
LATAM has one pretty good team, but the other teams don't come close to it, considering that they couldn't even win the LCQ
I honestly think it's to early to take this decisions. In CS, Brazil neede some time before they became world champions, and the same goes for valorant
I think it's important to more or less suck Chinese dick because that viewership is too good to give up. And, if they do get interested in the game it's almost a certainty that there will shortly be a world champ contender team created.
For 2022 it might make sense to give KR another slot, but I think the CN 2 slot thing makes more sense in the long term.
Masters, 16 teams:
3 EMEA (with MENA)
3 OCENA (OCE + NA)
1 BR
2 LATAM
2 KR
1 CN
1 JP
2 SEA
1 SA
Champions, 24 teams, (12 main event, 12 play-in)
main event
2 EMEA
2 OCENA
1 LATAM
1 BR
1 KR
1 JP
1 CN
1 SEA
1 SA
1 Masters 2 Winner
Play-in:
2 EMEA
2 OCENA
1 LATAM
1 KR
1 SEA
1 LCQ EMEA
1 LCQ OCENA
1 LCQ LATAM (with BR)
1 LCQ APAC NORTH (KR, JP and CN)
1 LCQ APAC SOUTH (SEA and SA)
the same here, but with this differences:
4 Emea.
2 or 3 Na.
2 latam.
Cuz the VCT 2022 will be bassed in the performance of the regions, and Emea have their 4 teams in the top of champs, NA need to improve their performance, cuz their performance in champs are not good. Also LATAM was improving since the first lan, taking top 8 in the world in Masters 3 and top 4 in the champs.
