They collect coaches like Pokémon too 💀💀

They keep foxy9 but kick yoman????
From the outside looking in such a weird move.

But hey, if the Lakia of Valorant makes a triumphant return, I'll take it

The player contracts ended so they were all unrestricted free agents

HUH??
Someone explain this one for me (unless it's just them wanting to go full Chinese in comms I don't see why they'd do this)

it's clearly not about good performance of the region alone, cuz it took them 3 years to give Brazil a CHANCE at a second slot.
Also Falcons is moving to APAC I think they're gonna level up all APAC play in general ngl
It's also imo just more fair to also give a sort of Asia LCQ in general

Very cool idea but I have to wonder...
Why the hell is EMEA still getting 3 slots?
As an EMEA resident and observing occasionally for the GC EMEA broadcast, it doesn't make any sense to me why we get 3 slots.
I would much rather give our third slot to an Asia LCQ or something like that. Asia getting left out.

Liquid could do the funniest thing and eliminate both NA teams

MILAN MY EXTREMELY TALL GOAT HEAD COACH LFG

Massive L from riot holy fuck.
Don't take the blood money, especially with a tournament that doesn't make any sense scheduling wise in the VCT calendar...
Just run it like evolution series for china, an actual in between stage INTERESTING tournament.

Omega's difference between top and bottom half is crazy, Alpha looks more balanced in that aspect (apart from EDG ofc)

2025 is the year where the entire point of Game Changers as a whole is coming to fruition.
Give exposure to these players so that they can develop into actual tier 1/2 competitors.
We got flor in tier 1 now, and at least 1 entire GC roster in tier 2.
Truly changing the game...

Real ones remember F4Q bunny shitting on international competition

don't get banned again

"americans wouldn't want to move to Mexico" they most definitely will if it means they're in Tier 1
Also I was wondering the scrimming thing because what would the scrimming ping be like

Surely they win now

Another reason to not have the league run in the US, these issues WILL KEEP HAPPENING
I'm a clueless European but wouldn't issues like natural disasters, visa issues, LA being stupid expensive, SA teams can't scrim VCT, etc. be solved if the league was run in Mexico?

Same Visa issues I assume

W 🐔

Now I feel less bad for having them go out in 2

Damn we only had one year of susanto battle

Man I gotta rethink my pickem now (I had DRX going deep)

Final vlr match of 2024, makes a grown man cry

The C9 of China (moreso C9 is the JDG of NA)

:O

Please don't

well 2G is also not a financially stable org at all either, but they're competing as 2G.
Just listened to plat chat and they said Nongshim bought the entire Sin Prisa org so I assume that's the loophole 🤷‍♀️

So like did they purchase SPG as an org or did riot blatantly throw out the "buying a VCT slot is prohibited" narrative

Welcome EG cned

W fellow molsi enjoyer

We know yoman for Rare Atom and them losing the finals to DRG, but no mention of ascension whatsoever?
There's so much to say, Rare Atom, they got signed by JDG but due to import rules had to choose between their IGL yoman or superstar duelist stew.
Chose for stew blabla, c'mon this is the stuff he's known for the most

M8 gave that roster a full year to go for it and try, they failed horribly, be better and you won't get dropped

They don't need to keep anyone, the org has the slot, not the players

yes, as he "chose" APAC as his residency region

no he's an import, as per the GCD, ban is considered resident and governor is import
