5 to eu, 2 to cis and 2 to tr

Pretty sure Turkish fans would still watch those games even if Turkish teams were to be smashed in round 2 of open qualifiers. I would argue though that inside European competition, Turkish teams could definitely qualify for main events, not just bum out during the qualifiers. I would also argue that for the benefit of Turkish players they work better when they are a part of international rosters, rather than having wholly Turkish teams.
Sorry, I worded it wrong, ofc they would watch the round 1 and round 2 matches, send death threats to enemy teams' supporters and harass the mods for not banning anyone who disagrees with BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤.
They would not watch the latter stage matches with all TR teams eliminated tho
ok, your first bit made me laugh, so true :D
Even if BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 💚OXG💚💜BBL💛 🖤FUT🖤 would get knocked out, Turkish fans would still watch teams like Heretics or Acend, because of pAura and cNed. Arguably, also in the future with the upcoming roster shuffles in the EU scene for VCT stage 3, some Turkish players playing in EMEA qualifiers today, could end up on new EU rosters, giving more reason for Turkish fans to continue watching EU teams.
I'm just trying to say that TR community is really shooting itself in the foot wanting to have Turkey as a separate region. Sure some players get an opportunity to win 20k twice a year playing as a Turkish 5 stack, but that removes the incentive from Turkish players to practice their English and go international, where there is more competition.
Yeah, I get what you're saying, and I agree with where you are coming from.
In regards to TH and Acend - IceLAN is not the main event this year, the main major event is going to happen late in 2021. Come June and all the VCT stage 3 qualifiers will start again and I expect to have a wild shift in European scene during these coming months. While current teams are gonna be sweating in IceLAN(and thus not giving them that much time to prepare for VCT stage 3), the unqualified teams are gonna be training hard with their focus being last chance qualifiers and Valorant's first S-Tier event happening late in 2021. Heretics and Acend could well be on their way of dominating again by the time VCT stage 3 comes around, assuming that G2 roster shuffle rumours turn out to be false.
