termi has a talent for making questionable moves but making it work, so honestly just let him cook

I agree that it's possible, but there's no way yay came back to NA to gamble m80 winning ascension (no matter the odds) for a spot.

This would have to be unplanned if it were to happen

EG, C9 (again lol) maybe NRG but it's stretching it

nah, c9 are cursed no way they can cook like this

yup, my comment is directed at those people. More than 8 teams would be nice for other reasons though, but I wouldn't call it 'mickey mouse'

the best team has won each tournament, no tournament is mickey mouse full stop

I mean every champs winning team has split, most likely because of money. I'm sure if LEV win a wealthy org will sweep in and pick up aspas at the very least, even despite results (LOUD, EG, even Champs calibre teams such as OPTC)

and you win your 2nd championship, do you stay with your team or leave and try to win with another one with a different team (for the paycheck, or just to flex or whatever reason)

You should be the one writing the valorant lore

apparently t3xture licked the trophy in Shanghai... so I guess it might mean the opposite

setting him up for an ange1 cosplay 😭

same roster, sort out roles and practice. imo they are opening them selves up to overcooking if they make any changes

Valyn (IGL, smokes)
Aspas (Duelist)
Ethan (flex)
yay (sentinel)
Sacy (initiator)

do me too whenever you get the chance

hiro ain't on vitality... unless you know something i dont 😏

flair up buddy

vct has a bright future

so much untapped viewership in APAC and EMEA

the second one looks more interesting
maybe they can add/remove time from the round?

welcome to vlr

you can make a sane post, but end it with 't0nz' and be ready to get bombarded with downvotes lol

It's probably tier 2 + teams that don't make playoffs (and unlikely, but possibly teams that are eliminated from playoffs early)

bulkylettuce is funny like 1/5th of the time
amovie is just pure brainrot

maybe he's just happy like I am
yay

viper v2

W rab as always

omen

Will probably have byes for a few teams

for those who don't know

They used to exist in abundance, but I think riot started shutting them down

holy that's actually a great idea

1. Bind
2. Ascent
3. Haven
   (The maps I enjoy playing in ranked)

W (mostly, will see how they distribute championship points)

1. This didn't end up mattering considering how he played in scrims (as now confirmed)
2. It's not really reasonable for him to be able to foresee what would happen
3. It was reasonable to have him go off of chamber, considering his new position in the meta, alongside the fact that we now know he was have success in scrims
4. I don't know enough about this to comment
5. This is just speculation, even if it was because of the team, yay was only a quarter of the other players. It's very short-sighted to retire if one guy is bothering you

Sixth, Seventh and Eighth point: This is all personal drama with biased views, for each of these people there has been say atleast two people in the scene to come out and defend yays image and character. These people have a vested interest (ie clout) in bad naming a player such as yay

I think it's not nearly as bad as this year. We will have a full double elim bracket before hand

I actually can see this happening
My guess would be for Champs to be in Beijing though, since China haven't had a Champs yet
(It makes sense now imo, since the start of franchising by next year we will have had LA (AMER), Seoul (PAC) and Paris (EMEA))

single elim balls to the wall tournament is actually a really fun (and expensive) idea.
People will say it's 'mickey mouse' or whatever from a quality of gameplay standpoint, but as a viewer it was one of the most enjoyable events imo

nah, it's certainly possible. I'm just speaking on strictly next year

I think lev have a decent chance, out of all of the teams left at champs they're probably the 'newest' roster (excluding TH and subs), so to get this far is an achievement. I think they will have a good year next year

nah surely no way we get 2 EMEA events now that we have 4 regions to distribute over
I would think we will get:

Masters London
Masters Mexico
Champions Beijing

(following the pattern, either EMEA or APAC will miss out on an event)

I'm tired so maybe I'm just reading this wrong, but this is implying that there won't be an interregional game changers tournament this year right?

answer: money

leaked by a now deleted instagram post from valorant indonesia. I'm sure someones recorded it

Bro this year people were saying it's a fluke for the exact opposite reason.
I guess you can't win lol

according to a not thorough google search only 40% of French people are proficient in English, so we most likely won't be getting a Copenhagen situation where they just cast in English to the audience. I also believe riot and valorant have a large production team/office in Paris so it would most likely be in French

Singapore should defo be a champs

There was a post from the Indonesian valorant instagram account which basically leaked the 2025 season format video
(now deleted)

I was gonna put FNC for Paris but that would've been too much glazing

FPX
GENG
VIT (reaching)

In the past when they've gone to slightly bigger venues but they've been empty for less hyped/non home crowd matches. It makes sense but I wish there was a better way to deal with it than just downsizing

You my friend haven't queued London servers
(I can't even imagine what Paris servers are like)
