Maybe in a year or 3, valorant will start hosting a World Cup for players to play. Would USA just dominate or are there other countries with chances?
I think more than that the problem of holding a World Cup tournament is that in order to do that you need each and every other country to accept e-Sports as a real sport to be able to make a team selection to represent them for their country, which is at this point still unlikely.
Meaning that the ones choosing the players to represent their countries, just like in basketball, athletism, etc... Are the countries itself. So for that to happen we would need to see countries accepting it as a sport.
Oh yeah well they could definitely do it no doubt. They did it with CS:GO iirc some years ago as well. I didn't mean to say that it's not possible to be done it's just that it wouldn't really account for an actual World Cup (regarding awarding winning countries the merit of victory) because there's no real involvement with the countries itself.
But it could definitely be done some way or the other.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think some years ago League players asked for a World Cup kinda tourney but Riot didn't do it because of this exact reason, they did Regional teams tho iirc.
I think it was something similar to this:

Tho I recall it being both Streamers and Pros from each country and not just regions. I very well just may be wrong.
