Does this tournament count as a Champions?

#1

It has even more teams than Champions, does it count as one?

Or is in the same level as Masters, or maybe something completely different?

But can we say that the Lock:In winner is the world Champion?

format removes the legitimacy of placement

one of fnatic and sen will basically take last place in this tourney due to format, and one of FUT/RRQ will be higher

how does that make sense

The format takes away so much of the competitive integrity when compared to champions

The format is similar to champion 2021, isn't it?

Its similar but champions 2021 still had the group stage so the really good teams were less likely to get upset.
Also acend was a mickey mouse team and gambit deserved to win

good teams win and worse teams lose, so yes it's just as any other international tournament

But any other interenational tournament is not a Champions. There is only 2 world champions, Acend and Loud

it's simple, if my region wins it it counts, if my region didn't win it then it doesn't count

this is an s-tier lan that’s all that matters. winner will be legit since they have to go single elim for 5 rounds to win. valorant will have more tourneys per year HOPEFULLY so the old masters vs champions will be outdated.
