I think you can kinda cut them some slack because they are treating it as if it was idk, a CS qualifier or a TFT one.
Usually ppl aren't that interested in watching these games, but since it is valorant and we get teams playing 12x a year, we are starving for matches.
They could have someone more in sync with the Val community to give them some pointers, but they are probably already overloaded with all the games they have to manage for EWC
Hear me out, after the disappointing result on playoff, Vitality held a reunion, here is how it was like:
Manager: Hey guys, I dont think there is a future with this team, and we need to make Champions
Faded: Hmmn, I dont know, gotta see what the players wanna do
Sayf: On my mother guys, we only sucked because we couldn't adapt to Tejo meta, we will be good.
Derke: As long as Trexx isn't here I dont even care about qualifying
Less: ...
Manager: Okay, I trust you, we will be great once Tejo is nerfed.
Spoiler
They will still suck if they dont get a proper IGL and Coach
If it makes you feel better you probably won't be able to see the match anyway lol
It is the same event
Ps: not sure if you got your name from the 1993 japanese movie but I watched it yesterday and it was great
I hope we get them, Mods love to enforce the no politics rule here :D
from the faceit page of the event
EMEA will still be afected by this week's games though

you will lose your flag but you fought the good fight
a half-Polish, half-Arab virgin in his thirties
Since Spike is still not 18, Jayp will play for them during Qualify.
I think valorant audience comes more from LoL and other games than from Cs
8 teams masters will always be mickey
Literally impossible as XLG starts in the top 8 already
This makes no sense for me because its basically saying that all EWC needs is to go through a shell company
I'm all for scamming ppl that fall for scams
o7
You will be joining me as a no-flag
May 16 - 20, matches start at 18:00 PDT
It can seem a little messy yeah, but I dont think its last minute communications, it is pretty usual for tournaments to be like this if you are used to Cs and lower tier events enviroment, its just that Riot/Valorant events usually come with a lot more info for regular ppl.
The lack of advertising of the rules etc is prob due to the fact they are organizing 30+ tournaments, not just Valorant.
Bad format is subjective, I really like it and think it should be the norm (except for playing more than once in the same day).
If they aren't broadcasted indeed its a pity.
As for the Schedule, it may feel congested for viewers, and maybe EMEA teams, but I think its fine for americas, most teams got 2-3 week breaks before it, and if it wasn't for EWC they would go 2 months+ without playing?
First matches for Americas are:
100T x Furia
Lev x NRG
2G x Cloud9
Kru x Loud
Teams can still sign up so we cant 100% confirm who is playing (Furia, NRG and Cloud9 have signed up).
For the first phase, I think ppl have to ask for broadcast rights, and if given, they would have to observe the game themselves, as there are no dedicated observers for that phase of the tournament. Teams can share their POV if they want, but I dont think they will do that.
There is a format, and there is also a loser bracket for the qualify. Try not to spread misinfornation please, lets make VLR a good space for everyone
Online Qualifiers - EMEA and Americas regions
Phase 1

Phase 2
Format
Neon, Sova, Omen, Chamber and Vyse 🗿🗿
I think most ppl don't care about the whole event. I think it will be a good Valorant Event (and we get too few of those), and whoever wins tekken doesn't influence the valorant matches at all. As for the format, I really like it, its the same as 2021 Champions or old Cs Majors (before swiss). I get why some ppl want double elim bracket for playoffs but I really appreciate the single elim because it makes games highstakes
From their rule book:
Match broadcasting
Rights
All broadcasting rights of EWC are owned by the Esports World Cup Foundation. This
includes, but is not limited to: IRC bots, shoutcast streams, video streams (e.g.
POV-streams), GOTV, replays, demos or TV broadcasts.
Waiving these rights
The Esports World Cup Foundation has the right to award broadcasting rights for one or
multiple matches to a third party or the participants themselves. In such cases the
broadcasts must have been arranged with the EWC Broadcast Distribution team before the
start of the match.
Participant responsibility
Participants cannot refuse to have their matches broadcast by EWC-authorised broadcasts,
nor can they choose in what manner the match will be broadcast. The broadcast can only be
rejected by the tournament administration. The participant agrees to make sufficient
accommodations so that the broadcasting of matches can take place.
Teams can stream/allow ppl to stream, so we might get streams from content creators of the orgs? I dont know if Val has an auto observer, or if teams are willing to do that (share their povs), but it is possible
Even if they weren't leaving, Chet and Demon1? really?
Leaving because you sold players makes no sense, you just profited?
8 teams play for 2 spots in stage 2, then those 2 teams join MIBR and EG to play for 2 spots for EWC.
It means that EG/MIBR wont have to play the first 3 games.
Teams listed above have to win 5 matches to qualify, MIBR and EG only gotta win 2
yeah, MIBR plays whoever qualify from lower Bracket, perks for being top 3
No caso da Furia teve pq era Kickoff, evento oficial da Riot, nesse como é evento de terceiros, acredito que não teria um salário minimo a ser respeitado, mas pode ser que a riot impos isso
Pega 5 cara procurando time la e paga 500 dol pra cada pra representar a Loud contra time de franquia, ctz que dava fila de gnt querendo, se por um milagre classficarem, ficar em ultimo do sauditao ja rende uma grana
