Arisqq [#6]man said game about to die bc EMEA has 2 at champs 💀💀

i don't understand what are u even saying bro u drunk?
trola [#4]only 3 slot for EMEA in champ? the most stacked region and only got 3? riot?
+1 for masters 2 winner (Brazil)
Arisqq [#9]i don't understand what are u even saying bro u drunk?
Bro This time Masters only has 12 teams. Not 16. Number of participants are less this time. You better be bad at maths

sry man KEKW
dignityx3 [#8]Good slots, emea doesnt deserve 3 just for 1 good tourney lol. They have 3 at masters, and 2+1 lcq at champs. its fair, but i still think they should have a masters winner auto qual
Not to burst your bubble but EMEA placed top 2 at every Masters and Champions...
Ibis [#22]Riot is desperate to damage EMEA for their favourite region NA:)
Na and Emea got demoted for apac and Brazil to get more slots
At Champions:
What the hell is this joke?
I get it, Asia is big as fuck, but 6 spots fot them and only 3 spots for a competitive scene like EMEA? Really? Also, Brazil/LATAM has 1 spot more and NA the same spots
This is... disappointing
I don't mind that EMEA has less slots than BRATAM and APAC.
People might call it a joke, but Riot is trying to market the game to other regions than EMEA and NA. Marketability and advertising are two main factors for a game's success.
If the minor regions don't get hooked into the game, then it will be bad for the game's viewership potential in the long term. But hey if y'all want the game to be like CS:GO, with the same 8 teams, and the same 2 regions, then that's all cool. I wouldn't want it tho.
Just my two cents on it.
Sprouts [#12]4 slots for SA and 6 slots for APAC while EMEA has 3, what a joke
Why count KR and JP with SEA, SA, OCE
redlight [#33]I don't mind that EMEA has less slots than BRATAM and APAC.

i dont mind other region got more slot but making slot less for EMEA, the best performance region is just not the move
ZoldyK [#13]Let it sink in that there are 115 countries in EMEA and yet they only get 3 slots despite being the best region
I get that 3 is less but 115 countries is not correct argument.
Sprouts [#12]4 slots for SA and 6 slots for APAC while EMEA has 3, what a joke
its fair APAC is a huge region
Bo0mShell [#39]I get that 3 is less but 115 countries is not correct argument.
focus on the best region
jimjam789 [#17]4 slots for BR/LATAM is the dumbest choice ever. would rather give 1 or 2 of them to eu
6 for APAC is the dumbest tho
ValdemieGC [#32]At Champions:
- 6 spots for Asia/Oceania
- 3 spots for Europe/Turkey/CIS/Middle East/North Africa
- 4 spots for Brazil/LATAM
- 3 spots for NA
What the hell is this joke?

I think SA LCQ should get 1 and EMEA LCQ should get 2.
That's the only messed up part.
Also I think we shouldn't count KR and JP with APAC S, especially now they made different LCQ for them
KiwisAreAwesome [#5]do you guys know if china is ever gonna participate? i remember they were supposed to in the LCQ last year but it looks like they arent gonna be again this one
i think that valorant it's not available in china yet, not sure about that tho
sumihiro [#44]6 for APAC is the dumbest tho
asia literally did better than SA. other than KRU, south america didnt make playoffs ONCE.
jimjam789 [#48]asia literally did better than SA. other than KRU, south america didnt make playoffs ONCE.
This is called tradition on FPS game. You should respect that. EMEA should get 6 spots instead.

yes. tradition that brazil sucks LOL
jimjam789 [#51]yes. tradition that brazil sucks LOL
Oh, I forgot about the huge tradition the mighty AUSTRALIA has on any fps game lmao Renegades couldn't even pass through the 1st stage on last CS:GO major
sumihiro [#53]Oh, I forgot about the huge tradition the mighty AUSTRALIA has on any fps game lmao Renegades couldn't even pass through the 1st stage on last CS:GO major
im not talking about my country am i LOL. im talking about asia more deserving than BR. well its all good, at least im not living in slums
jimjam789 [#57]im not talking about my country am i LOL. im talking about asia more deserving than BR. well its all good, at least im not living in slums
asia is def not more deserving than br/latam
what r u on
talking about tradition
OzyMeister [#41]its fair APAC is a huge region
Not as big as europe + cis + turkey + middle east + north africa
Gyro [#62]The only benefit of doubt I can think of is maybe Riot wants to save some spots for China prbly.
In future Champs would be 24 teams hopefully with China and increased slots for NA and EMEA
It's not even released yet.
Hermes [#46]i think that valorant it's not available in china yet, not sure about that tho
it does bro even vlr did their own ranking
Glycoroldas [#61]Why didn't Riot just simply increase the number of participating teams from 16 to 24 or something like that is beyond me. It's not like money is the problem for them...
I think they are scared of covid, too much shit to sort to be honest
shadowzin272 [#59]asia is def not more deserving than br/latam
what r u on
talking about tradition
wtf has tradition got to do with deserving LMAO. better region deserves more slots. SA dogshit region. remove KRU and and the region only has won 2 games in 3 LANs because they versed japan
jimjam789 [#57]im not talking about my country am i LOL. im talking about asia more deserving than BR. well its all good, at least im not living in slums
Asia also has no tradition. And I don't live in a slum but nice xenophobia right there, mate.
ValdemieGC [#65]I think they are scared of covid, too much shit to sort to be honest
Something tells me that even if covid was a non factor, those people would religiously stick to 16 participants tbh :D
ValdemieGC [#32]At Champions:
- 6 spots for Asia/Oceania
- 3 spots for Europe/Turkey/CIS/Middle East/North Africa

Issue here is not to remove 1 spot from BR/LATAM but why only 12 teams? :(
Dittete [#60]Not as big as europe + cis + turkey + middle east + north africa
IT is Apac is SEA+SA+OCE+JP+KR
South Asia alone is 2Billion people SEA is like 700Mil? all in all could be around 3Billion people and
YES it also has a bigger player base than EMEA not just population
ValdemieGC [#65]I think they are scared of covid, too much shit to sort to be honest
I don't know, man. CS had the Stockholm major and it feature 24 teams. The format was different, ok, and it had more stages, but I don't know why they don't do something similar
OzyMeister [#70]IT is Apac is SEA+SA+OCE+JP+KR
South Asia alone is 2Billion people SEA is like 700Mil? all in all could be around 3Billion people and

And EMEA is a 3 times better region
jimjam789 [#66]wtf has tradition got to do with deserving LMAO. better region deserves more slots. SA dogshit region. remove KRU and and the region only has won 2 games in 3 LANs because they versed japan
But now they counter argue by generalising APAC performance on JP's performance. There's no end to this dumb argument
jimjam789 [#66]wtf has tradition got to do with deserving LMAO. better region deserves more slots. SA dogshit region. remove KRU and and the region only has won 2 games in 3 LANs because they versed japan
ur mad for no reason
but u literally said on #51
but well
have a nice day salty aussie
sumihiro [#67]Asia also has no tradition. And I don't live in a slum but nice xenophobia right there, mate.
What's up with the slum comment?
And then you talk about xenophobia?
Bo0mShell [#78]What's up with the slum comment?
And then you talk about xenophobia?
Asia has no tradition on FPS esport, that's a fact. I'm not saying everyone suck, but the history isn't there, just that.
And xenophobia is because my whole country is not a giant slum how our friend is trying to paint, I don't know what you got from that?

but tradition has nothing to do with deserving a slot. ur country sucks at valorant. period. dont bring up brazils history of fps which has nothing to do with valorant itself cuz u could do the same with asia and overwatch.

im talking about valorant tradition. why tf would i talk about other fps games when im disputing valorant LOL. salty because its impossible for people to be this deluded

OVERWATCH HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
sumihiro [#82]OVERWATCH HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
RAINBOW SIX SIEGE HAHAHAHHA A GAME NOONE PLAYS HAHAHAHAH. either way brazil sucks at valorant and is the 2nd worst region who cant win a single game unless they verse japan LOL. literally has to bring in other games to delude himself from the fact that brazil is on the same level as japan

Nah bro, we are all together on this one, the whole west see us as underdeveloped = giant garbage dump
sumihiro [#72]I don't know, man. CS had the Stockholm major and it feature 24 teams. The format was different, ok, and it had more stages, but I don't know why they don't do something similar
CSGO got money for fund from steam but RITO got money from only valorant as a main fund to make tournaments ?
sumihiro [#85]Come back when your country first steps on a Valorant international stage
still bringing up shit irrelevant to brazil not deserving their slots. the funny thing is both australia and brazil have done nothing in valorant HAHAHAH.
OzyMeister [#70]IT is Apac is SEA+SA+OCE+JP+KR

Not everyone plays val, better to look at player base. In terms of that they are nearly equal but EMEA is way bigger in competition with more T1 teams, which is why the slots difference is unfair

RIOT is a multibillionaire company, you can't be serious
sumihiro [#92]RIOT is a multibillionaire company, you can't be serious
dud multibillionaire is not money but its current value of the company (stocks x price)

Any idea on when LOUD is officially announcing the roster? Can't wait to see them roll over whole NA and them calling it fluke tournament.
Bo0mShell [#95]Any idea on when LOUD is officially announcing the roster? Can't wait to see them roll over whole NA and them calling it fluke tournament.
My guess is until Feb. 1st they will annouce it. AFAIK, they're all already on LOUD gaming house and sacy even tweeted something that suggested about the announcement video here: https://twitter.com/sacylol/status/1486501034767826956
sumihiro [#44]6 for APAC is the dumbest tho
daily reminder brazil has only won 2 games in 3 international LANS. all of them against japan
