Problem with EMEA

#1

Ibis

A Team like FNATIC are getting knocked out in EU before the EMEA main event that is possibly better than all Turkish or cis teams qualifiying:/

But Fnatic threw a lot in Breeze. They deserved to lose. It just shows that Seangares was right about Eu not sending their best teams to Iceland. Just want to see Gambit, Guild, FPX, Acend or G2 make it to Berlin and not Liquid. Even VGIA would be good. Just want to see some different teams from different regions

Not really. It was acend. Or even heretics (which were problematic).

Fnatic definitely deserved their spot in Iceland. Liquid kinda squeaked their way through the bracket. This is coming from a heretics fan during that time.

Fnatic had their shot in masters 2. other regions deserve some chances too otherwise the scene won't grow equally

I know but the ping is still shit and there is no reason to do that and kill regions like turkey. Judt look at how riot did it with league of legends having 4 major regions and 6 small regions. Thats how you keep the audience up and the regions stay healthy

EU deserves 2 slots more..and just take one from CIS and TR..cause Fnatic and Team BDS are obviosly better than teams like Navi,Gambit,Oxygen,Superrmasive Blaze etc.

Fnatic honeymoon wore off + they slacked with their preparation for masters 3 after finishing the LAN in Reykjavik + Other teams in EMEA had an additional month to watch Fnatic demos and analyze their playstyle + Fnatic were unsuccessful at adopting a different playstyle to counter the antistrats created specifically against them by other EU teams.

Fnatic deserve to have failed to qualify for Berlin, now they have time to work hard for LCQ.

There is a quite big possibility in which Fnatic still gets to Champions without having to grind LCQ lol.
Example:
Acend wins Berlin, gets a straight spot at LA.
G2 and Blaze place top-3/4 at Berlin, still can't get past Fnatic in EMEA run (325 < 350).
Gambit places top-8 at Berlin, overtakes Fnatic in EMEA run (145 + 275 > 350).

Woooops! Free 2nd circuit spot for Boaster & co. while not doing anything since Iceland, and it's just one example, there are much more.

meh, that's even better for them then. Regardless, they are not missing much. Of course it's shit for other EMEA teams, but it is what it is, unfortunately.

Basically Iceland ruined this entire VCT year because there were only 2 of our teams + retarded single elim format which rewarded Lulquid so much

Maybe if Masters 2 had 4 EMEA teams like it was meant to be, FPX / Gambit / Acend / Guild would qual too and the gap in points wouldn't be so Fnatic-sided right now

But we know that 99% of Valorant viewers are dumb kids who only want HYPE and LANS even if it only has 10 teams instead of initial 16, nobody cares about circuit problems which are caused by different Stage formats

Yeah I agree with you, but there is a commercial aspect in all of this, which trumps everything from Riot's perspective. Unlucky really, hopefully Gambit/G2/Acend can overcome all this circuit bs by showing top form in Berlin and then subsequently LCQ.

If this were true, the NA region would have 10 slots.
