Filipinos Come!

Why is PPGL/Mineski so behind on tournament format?

Last year we didn't have a lower bracket but the other sub regions had a lower bracket. Now we have a lower bracket however, we have an 8 team main event compared to the others that have a 16 team main event. Are we really that small of a sub region compared to MYSG/HKTW/ID/TH/VN ?

Our local teams badly need the exposure so that the orgs that support them have a reason to continue supporting them. How do orgs justify supporting teams when people barely know who those players are and how good they are if we cant even give them the chance to be in the main event and show us what they got.

P.S. If this is something outside the control of the Tournament Organizers then I apologize. I am just someone who loves to watch Valorant being played at a high level and I want Valorant to have a sustainable system in the Philippines so that more Filipinos have the Opportunity to become a professional player for the game they love.

agreed :( with the sheer amount of orgs signing players in the Philippines I was surprised why we only had an 8 team Main Event

It would have been great for the exposure if the qualifiers were streamed.

True!!! im pretty sure some of those games would've been sick! it would've been a great marketing tool before the main event so filipinos would have a team that they could cheer for

So
we won't see NGX & Alpha Esport Pro if they both lose to APH & SBE, and vice versa?

need a confirmation

Philippines is literally behind every aspect except for an eu org going to ph for the bren.

APH and NGX is on the same side of the bracket, so only one of them can qualify in the group stage. Same goes for SBE and AEP.

But yes, if they don't qualify, we don't see them in Stage 1 streams.

to be fair if they deserved the spots they shouldn't have lost to the teams in the upper bracket

the rest of the subregion aside from SA and OCE uses the same format. It sucks that we have this kind of format

it just feels so bad that 2 of those 4 teams will be out of the VCT for months

yes that is a valid argument however if we had the same format as the rest of the region all of those teams wouldve qualified by now

that sux man, I want to see both ngx and action ph in group stage. Sadge

Just if they adapt Indo swiss round format, this top teams should've qualified.
