VALORANT Champions Tour EMEA

@valesports_emea

FPX just yesterday completed a clean sweep of Stage 1: EMEA Challengers after defeating Team Liquid Team Liquid Europe Unranked paTiTek Patryk Fabrowski kamyk Maks Rychlewski nAts Ayaz Akhmetshin Keiko Georgio Sanassy kamo Kamil Frąckowiak , FNATIC FNATIC Europe Unranked crashies Austin Roberts Boaster Jake Howlett kaajak Kajetan Haremski Chronicle Timofey Khromov Alfajer Emir Ali Beder , and G2 Esports G2 Esports Inactive in convincing fashion. Positioned as EMEA's first seed at Masters Reykjavik, FPX were poised to break new ground, as an appearance would have been the team's first appearance at an international LAN event following several narrow misses in 2021.

However, travel and COVID-19 restrictions have jeopardized FPX's Masters participation, the team announced. Kyrylo "ANGE1" Karasov, from Ukraine, Andrey "Shao" Kiprsky, and Dmitry "SUYGETSU" Ilyushin, from Russia, are all unable to leave their countries to Iceland due to travel restrictions. On the other hand, Ardis "ardiis" Svarenieks, who was recently missing from the servers, is currently recovering from COVID-19, leaving him unable to compete according to Riot officials.

Team Liquid finished just outside the cusp of qualification after falling to G2 in the lower bracket, but will now fill the void left by FPX's absence.

EMEA's three Masters Reykjavík representatives are now G2 Esports G2 Esports Inactive , FNATIC FNATIC Europe Unranked crashies Austin Roberts Boaster Jake Howlett kaajak Kajetan Haremski Chronicle Timofey Khromov Alfajer Emir Ali Beder , and Team Liquid Team Liquid Europe Unranked paTiTek Patryk Fabrowski kamyk Maks Rychlewski nAts Ayaz Akhmetshin Keiko Georgio Sanassy kamo Kamil Frąckowiak .

Imagine placing 4th and getting a spot at Iceland. Every other region has 1-2 spots and needs to dominate their region. Meanwhile Team Lulquid goes 2-2 in a tournament to secure a spot. Actually laughable. They practically give every EMEA team a spot these days.

Honestly, EMEA has no excuse to not win Iceland. You have 3 teams go to Iceland, and had 4. Actual cringe region.

what else do you expect? they got the spot cause FPX wasn't able to attend and to keep the format the same they have to make sure another emea team gets put in so 4th place is the obvious choice

This comment is actually dumb... technically placing 4th doesnt give you a spot to Masters, it is due to a lot of unlucky events. Also say EMEA has no excuse to not win, EMEA literaly just lost the seed 1 team representative, i think there is an excuse... still, dont worry, EMEA will win for sure anyways.

A nice org as well, I wonder if there's some internal issue that the visas weren't sorted and rushed through- what with them being a relatively small/new org. Next time I guess, we will have to wait.

~~Most likely under the current circumstances the same thing would have happened ~~

However, possibly not depending on if they are currently based in Russia, it's possible they may have been able to get visa's where FPX may not have been able to, bureaucracy especially in certain countries isn't always cut and dry.

Being a liquid fan, I still don't think they deserve this spot in iceland. M3C would have been a better choice but ig Liquid were more closer to Qualifying than M3C AND M3C players are also Russians so Riot had no other choice but to give that spot to Liquid. No hate for any team and F for FPX! I hope rito gives FPX a free spot in Masters 2 or give them enough points for Champions this year. #FPXWINS

EMEA is the favorite child💀
I don't wanna sound salty but when the same thing happened to BREN they didn't let another SEA team qual but when this happens to EMEA they do this, RITO never fails to give inconsistent decisions

Unfortunately this is not the same situation Russians aren't being allowed into Iceland were as brens management messed up their visas not getting them done in time and no other sea team had time at such short notice to get visas either hence why they left bren and joined team secret theirs no inconsistency here im afraid this is just real world politics getting in the way sorry to disagree with you but I'm just trying to be factual

Very sad for fpx, as a liquid fan. EMEA top seed as well, by quite a strong margin.

Don't be mad at liquid, no team would refuse the invite, and you know they wouldn't want to make it to Iceland under these circumstances.

And to everyone else. eSports is a microcosm in the grand scheme of this Russia Ukraine shit. Don't expect the situation to be much better by masters 2.

Hopefully riot will place less emphasis on LAN and make the event accomodate teams to play online from Europeab bootcamps if there are slot of players unable to attend.

I'm assuming you're pretty young and/or have no idea how this business works. So I won't flame you.

Riot internally know and plan many MONTHS in advance where they are going to hold an event. At this point, contracts are signed, commitments are made, money is exchanged, staff and things are allocated. Alot goes into hosting these events...

Expecting them to change the location after all of this is set in motion is unreasonable and ignorant. It's not that they're lazy. Thinking that they can just switch a location on the fly is plain silly and unfeasible dude. This business does NOT work like that.

Guys, okay, I'm an FPX fanboy. I'm very sad for the whole lineup, who took a very long time to get to their first LAN. But, I absolutely don't understand the negativity towards Riot and especially towards Liquid. Riots can't change the laws or instantly end the "special op", or spoil Ardis from covid. And Liquid really isn't Team Liquid but Team Luckers, but it's not their fault that FPX won't be on the LAN, so good luck to them and all of EMEA teams. I really hope to see Ange1, Shao, Zippan and the company at the next Masters, but for now I should thank them and wish them not to lose their form.
