Because it will cut down competition in these regions, also EMEA quals are wonderful to watch pls riot just increase the EMEA slots to 6 or 8. This will be a better solution.
YES GREAT IDEA LETS KILL EVERY OTHER REGION. man the top 5 of NA and EMEA is enough, the 6th of emea or na isnt gonna do much damage anyways and probably barely place top 8. its a waste of audience and diversity.
24 teams of wich 5/6 are NA and 5/6 EMEA
and give the rest 12 to 14 teams the slots.
u dont realize that one slot for a region is very bad (if its a big one) and that there is gonna be many regions in valorant. in vct 2022 we might have 10 regions instead of 7 with oceania, india and india joining
Riot should just merge other standalone regions, particularly BR with LATAM, KR and JP and SEA, include Mexico into NA, to basically have more equivalents of EMEA. Intra-local-regional games before going interational adds spice and rivalry that might not necessarily exist during Champions or Masters. Also gives bigger exposure to local teams who will not qualify internationally, but can qualify for intra-local-regional competition.
