What do u guys think we are toe to toe against SEA teams
16 FOR MASTERS AND 24 FOR CHAMPIONS WILL BE FINE
20 FOR MASTERS IS JUST TOO MUCH
WE HAVE 3 MASTERS AND CHAMPIONS RIGHT?? WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? IN MY OPINION, FOUR INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENTS IN A YEAR IS FINE AND ENOUGH. COZ 5 INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENT IN A YEAR WILL BE TOO MUCH AND IT WILL REDUCE HYPE FOR TOURNAMENTS
I hope they do 3 challengers weekends where u earn points + one challengers finals where top 8 still earns points + first place goes to masters directly and 2nd/3rd go to masters by points.
those points would count for masters + champions but challengers 1 points wouldnt affect masters 2 qualification
I don't think so riot ever going to involve third party organizations in VCT circuit. I think they might become partners with third-party organizations for valorant t2 tournaments and some extra-regional tournaments but nothing much more than that.
But big events and most of the VCT circuit events are always going to be riot organized
i think SA would get demolished by most teams in Champs at least rn, but if youre saying team secret cant win against Acend of all teams which is by far the worst team in all of playoffs rn then youre just capping. If you say x10 and TS cant win against TL or Gambit or even Fnatic i would get you but Acend is playing like ass, just rename to cNed and friends at this point (imagine almost losing a 7-0 FREE lead TO A BR TEAM thats just trash actually)
DWG defeated PRX and GE vs F4Q was pretty close plus there was SAxSEA tournament recently the first ever ,the matches/maps got close but indian teams couldn’t close out. There is a reason GE was on break for a long time and the other team’s VLT (GE and VLT are pretty much on the same lvl ) main IGL is not playing due to hand injury.More SAxSEA tourneys coming in future will give a clear cut answer if SA deserves a slot or not.
Also KR > SEA in general considering this GE did pretty good against 3rd and 2nd seed of KR. This was also the first time any indian team was playing against any international team this year.
No KR is definitely not above SEA. The only reason its thought to be like that is because of Vision Strikers, other than that KR is a slightly better Japan.
Honestly its better for SA teams to scrim SEA teams first and to gauge how good they are, that way you know if its justified to get a slot in a major
what? louvre literally 2-0'd them in tec with 1 map with on mumbai. bleed vs vlt was the only match where SA won against SEA that is considered even top 8, oh yeah and they were on a brink of a roster change wtih 3 of it's players being replaced. so idk where you got them "beating sea team(s) in a dominating fashion".
i agree with you ngl SA is below SEA as of the last tourney but i think theres a lot of promise in the SA region, they just have no platform to increase their skill. Its a wonder they were able to get this good with such poor mediums to get better, worse internet than western countries, more congestion yet still able to compete with KR with much better infrastructure. Same goes for SEA but id say to less of an extent but then again the qualing teams are philipino
first of all, you guys are not toe to toe with the top SEA teams, apac lcq and tec showdown already proved that. do i think they should get a masters slot? maybe, it's a good way to grow the esport in the region and good viewership. will they get a masters slot by riot? probably not since the best SA team got demolished by prx 13-0 13-3.
