50% of present EMEA organizations will leave by 2024

The game will prosper in Brazil and APAC though, because of how much Riot licks their asses

EMEA orgs can always invest in other regions

YES, they can.
but in emea there are a lot of very good players and that would not be fair

I don't think they want to go the CsGo route though yes EMEA is the best region but if you give them more and more slots weaker regions and their valo scene will die inevitably just like it happened in CsGo

I mean, the game will do well but as an esport, European orgs might leave
On a side note, I guess VP and Spirit already had insider info about these slots so they decided to not pick up teams

until they stop listening to the community at all. The game won't survive if they don't care about what we want to be added/fixed in the game.

this year's Champions' slots are already decided and we can't do anything about it, we'll have to wait until the next year to see some changes. If this decision goes poorly and they do nothing about it (which would be weird) the game will eventually lose viewership. It won't die thanks to a big part of the community not caring about every aspect of the game, just as CS.

Dude I never said they didn't listen to the community, only in this case specifically, i said that if they do nothing about this decision the game will lose a lot of viewership.

actually otherwise since BR and asia is bringing in SHIT ton of views so expanding their slots to other regions would grow the game internationally. not that i agree ofc still a shit decision IMO lol

Yeah ofc they bring a lot of views but if the regions keep playing at the same level they played the last year that viewership won't last long. Most people, specially new viewers, stop watching the events when their teams lose.

according to ur logic if shit team keeps losing, people will stop watching them. but that means another team is winning which would make more people watch the good team.

But if the better team is from a bigger region eg: NA or EMEA the viewership will stay the same for them, while for the other team it will decrease.

but thats not the case. BR and JP were both terrible all year but viewership is still increasing

how could you know if the viewership from those regions will increase if the most probable thing is that it could decrease? Viewership in those regions is increasing RIGHT NOW just bc there's new orgs with good players, but if none of them qualifies for masters/champs and leave the events early it's most likely to decrease

mate thats already happened. valorant is in its 3rd year its not a new game. 'new orgs with good players' this kind of phase has already happened. these 'new orgs' are no longer new. everyone is BR and JP know their region is the worst and will continue to be the worst yet the numbers are increasing. why? because as long as they like and play the actual game itself, they will always watch the esport

Look at League of Legends it's still going and it doesn't look like it's stopping, so Valorant still has a long time

U mean in EU the game and players keep rotating between Fnatic, G2 and Mad Lions only? Other orgs otherthan Vitality not invest at all? In NA it is always Cloud9, TSM and 100T? T1 always wininng worlds?
