people outside of brazil literally say this shit and no matter how hard people who actually knows what happened explains it, they still throwing shit and spreading misinformation because like 10k people or more were out of the stadium watching it with gaules but just because they werent into it then that means it was a bad crowd LMAO

London already have a history of VISA problem for Russia players (Team Liquid Red Bull Home Ground)
Hope won't be USA (SEA and Russian players VISA absentees).
if 2022 is all about Europe and 2023 Masters Tokyo (Asia), hope Singapore would be next (Asia time zone FTW).

The thing is, after Champions 2022, considering Singapore is one of the more iconic Asian countries, and with first world infrastructure, do you not think that it will not be a full crowd? People will fly over here, you don't need just Singaporean bro.

Singapore already has a good amount of Fans out there, also it's accessibility is somewhat similar to UAE ,hence It's arguably one of the most convenient locations in Asia

No
Europe doesnt get one this year i hope
Theyve hosted every single LAN so far, except for the one in turkey, but turkey is literally right next to europe anyway

either NA, BR, or another asia country will host

Ackshually, turkey is considered as part of Europe even though it only has a small part of it in Europe. So, literally every valorant lan has been held in Europe.

turkey is mostly in asia BUT

so basically every FUCKING LAN HAS BEEN IN EUROPE

Well actually, most part of Istanbul is not in Europe, if you wanna be technical you would have to check in which side on the Bosphorus strait the stadium was. But I’m pretty sure it was the Asian side

Ardiis isnt russian and he still aint got a visa.
Can you imagine how bad it would be for the russian players?
No more absentees in the biggest tournaments please.
So until they stop their bullshit with visas, skip the US, the UK, other eu countries that are annoying about it.
Best for everyone would be an asian country thats not being a bitch about russian professional visas.

My initial guesses are that:

Ofc Sao Paulo is the opener and M1 is Japan

So I suspect one of three options: LA, Berlin, and Soeul. Why? Because I'm assuming M2 will be in Europe and whichever region performs the best (since riot is giving regional rewards for performance, like the winner of Sao Paulo gets another M1 slot) will get Champs in their own Region Hub. At least for the first year, it kinda makes sense. Easy to set up for players, fully prepared venues and casters.

There’s only one masters this year, and waiting for Sao Paulo’s results seems risky from a logistical perspective.

Is there only one masters? Really? That would be so wack in terms of points and everything, no time for teams to recover mid season.

Reykjavík was because of covid and making it in Copenhagen was a mistake, it doesn't justify chosing a bad city again

LA, Chicago, Boston, Seoul, or somewhere in APAC are my best guesses. I really hope they dont do one in europe this year considering how many LANs so far have been in europe
LA/Seoul could be an easy choice for them since they already have venues for franchising there.

For the people who mentioned Madrid, my guess is if they wanted it here it would be in Barcelona since there's where Riot has it's offices. And honestly if it was to be in Europe I think it's pretty likely since Riot was about to do the VCT in Barcelona instead of Berlin, but teams complained since they were already established there for LEC

#45

If its in EU then its Spain likely. NA might have visa problems so I doubt they would have Masters there. "Masters 1" in South America(NA timezone as well), Masters 2 being in Japan, Asia and Champions in EU could make sense especially with potential visa problems.

But its also possible that Riot just says "fuck EMEA and Russians" and just have it in USA. Because they def want to make it big like how they invited bunch of people to Istanbul and this year is the start of Valorant esport in a way.

The list of biggest cities in the world

1 - Tokyo - Japan
2 - Delhi - India
3 - Shanghai - China
4 - São Paulo - Brazil
5 - Mexico City - Mexico

Russian players have a Visa problem for the USA, and Mexico is also NA. Masters in Japan already (Asia), Kickoff in Brazil (South America), and perhaps Mexico next as NA?

@edit

I think that India is also on the radar thinking about the Harbor agent and the next map is going to be India right?
