ESL PRO LEAGUE VALORANT

Imagine a ESL PRO LEAGUE VALORANT:

24 TEAMS.
Swiss-system tournament

NA: 3 Teams
EMEA: 4 Teams
CIS: 2 Teams
Turkey: 2 Teams
MENA: 1 Team
Korea: 2 Teams
Japan: 2 Teams
SA: 3 Teams
LAS: 1 Team
LAN: 1 Team
Brazil: 3 Teams

24 Teams in total

4 Groups with 6, only the top of 2 classifying to playoffs.

Playoffs with lower bracket and Grand-Finals at the end.
500K Prize Pool. It would define the real world champion of Valorant.

Actually a nono, because LAS and LAN would already have 2 teams representing them. I would actually support a 32 Teams format when China enters VAL, + giving more spots to Asian Teams.

And EU would praticably have 8 teams, MENA + CIS + EMEA + Turkey

but brazil hasnt proved they deserve 3 spots, at least they should win it against lan and las

They already won. NIP actually destroyed LEV.
Together with Super VIvo Keyd in the future BR would desearve a third spot because they would be really well represented.
Loud + VK + NIP are actually good representants.

but that depends on the future and i'm obviously totally bias.

but i mean internationally they have proved nothing, that's why they got one shared spot this year. I think brazil dereves 3 spots but they have not given us reasons to give them

32 teams is too much imo but could work depending on format

'real world champion' not really, epl is prestigious only because its a grand slam event
real events are the majors, katowice and cologne

EPL are actually way stronger than actual majors, this swiss-system type of tournament is amazing because basically the top teams of the entire world are playing together in a lot of matches. And i don't actually like Champions/Master seed bonus type of thing.

Like, if Loud win three matches they are in Grand-Finals, wtf... that's not even that fair.

That's why EPL are way stronger.

im ok with brazil 3 teams because there are 24 teams in total, but in comparison to other regions 3 brazil seeds is kinda off considering the achievements

3 looks kinda ok. In the future with CN could actually have even more teams from each reagion so 3 wouldn't be so much.

Like 3 for CN + 2 for LAS + 2 for LAN. So SAmerica would have 5 teams in total and NAmerica would have 5 teams also.

If you think as ASIA as a hole Brazil doesn't even have many spots.

Tech issues are mostly Riot Fault. And ESL would love to gain money in VAL.
