Let me show you guys the difference on devs attitude towards valorant. Watch tier1 comparison what they have in LOL and what we will have in Valo according to rumors:
League of Legends current tier1 leagues:
Korean Leauge - 10 teams
NA Leauge - 10 teams
EU Leauge - 10 teams
China Leauge - 17 teams (!!!)
Pacific Leauge - 10 teams
Vietnam Leauge - 8 teams
Brazil Leauge - 10 teams
Oceania Leauge - 8 teams
CIS Leauge - 8 teams
Japan Leauge - 8 teams
LATAM Leauge - 8 teams
Turkey league - 10 teams
Valorant according to rumors:
America's (NA+BR+LATAM) - 8 to 12 combined (!!!)
EU (EU+CIS+MENA+TR) - 8 to 12 combined (!!!)
Asia (KR+JP+OCE+APAC) - 8 to 12 combined (!!!)
guys I haven't played LOL and not even watched it but seeing what rito did for LOL competitive scene is enormous. It's like Valorant must be. However, rito treated VALORANT very bad:
America's might have 28 slots (like in LOL 3 regions combined) but we ask even only 16 LMAO
EMEA might have 28 slots (like in LOL eu+tr+cis) but we ask them at least 16 and they will not do it (!)
Asia have 3000+ teams I can't even count the actual number of teams there, gave up.
