your stat will be purer if you count:
quantity of players from the country in VCT EMEA
divided by
quantity of players from the country in Valorant on EU servers

Still your figure of Lithuania will be higher than Russia has, but at least it will be more fair index

P.S. in your calculations it should be 39 Russian players for 1 Lithuanian player to be at the same level. Right?

???

Besides Russian players, only 1 player has no organisations from his home Sub-region in VCT EMEA. It's tomaszy from Portugal.

Lithuanian players have no problems to play in EMEA and play on bootcamps unlike Russian players. Don't tell me that it's not a big problems for tier-1 teams.
As well right now there are 0 orgs from CIS region in EMEA, but East Europe (what Lithuania is par of) has 1 team. It's a good improvement for the whole region.
In such situation it's even bigger surprise that we have more than 0 or 1 players from CIS region in VCT EMEA

FFs can speak Portuguese for sure, for you

Is this a potential first place matchup?

aaaaa, i missread
I typed: "W Spanish region. L Spanish mods"

KEKW!

I expected what they ban me on twitch channel. just 10 minutes luckily. But respect to Spanish region and organizations what signing players. but disrespect to such mods what make the chat dead

bo1? again? what a joke

LETS GO BOYS!

valo

Russia: something
all other guys are good and excellent, but he's great

all of them playing in cs2. there should be reasons to play in Valo. there is no even tier2 scene for them)

2021-no. 2022-yes. 2023-yes.

thanks to Mickey Mouse, tier-3 and tier-2 tournaments. at least we have something to watch

hopium. Navi never signs players with Russian passport ever again. They signed Suy and Shao cuz they were in the full team

any problems?

I think no one should protest against it. Neither them nor others. For them - it's a huge bonus. For others - why not.
I just envy as a Russian-speaking fan)))

have own T2 league and also are residence of another big region. Envy them))

because look there. what organizations got the slots. Have you seen them in top 8 in the past 3 events? Half of them - no. Obviously they will pick up the strongest players from these teams. if they want to be strong and competitive

I'm sure all 15 players from top-3 teams will be in VCT

It's a good question. If Riot counts Jemkin or Kr1stal or Something as imports then they might count Wippie as an import too

ofc they should. but I think they won't do anything. as they do nothing with the whole Ru-speaking league in Valorant and LoL respectively. For them that region doesn't exist

w/o tryouts?

This post like a real fat trolling. isn't it?

Something told that on his stream once, that tryouts in EMEA or NA it's kind of dangerous for Asian players (geographically). They can't tryout with ping 150-200 from their homes. They need to fly to European part to potential Serbia by 2-4 plans with their equipment, and probably get a rejection after all. Then fly back home. And all of it for their own money from their pockets. During such a huge and expensive travelling they could have tryouts in Asian teams

Is this place for meme "learn Chinese bro"?
hahaha

GL Maksim!

Does he have unlimited Schengen? Wow!

17))))))) kekw

1) potential visa issues
2) problems with bootcamps due to 1)
3) problems with LAN due to 1)

beyond all of the advices here (most of them really useful)
you should have a real reason to learn this language, then you can get good results in it

top flair (GMB)

CIS>ALL

Why don't you consider the first 2 tournaments of the year(even Lock In was Mickey Mouse tournament but still Top-1 and Top-2 were well deserved there, than other places). Then Champions GC #3 was G2 Gozen (EMEA). In your topic it's wrong. Why do you separate Brazil and NA? When it's part of Americas region. Etc

I tried to understand honestly. But WHAT A HELL IS GOING ON in this topic????

Everything

let's see

just won it in advance?

Nastya! Nastya! Nastya!

Good opponents for KPI and Dobeg

then you should add IG in the context of the strong organizations too

Congrats, you have won a ticket to the GRAND GRAND FINAL
against Russian team: Nats Redgar Chronicle Sheydos Something
(Substitutes: Cloud, Shao, SUYGETSU, trexx, B1sk, Purpo, D3ffo, Jemkin, Kr1stal, Vici, Vo0kashu, Wippie)
Coaches: Engh, Pipson, Fadezis, esavgabiN

maybe Riots/Tencents will say: RA is too small organisation for us. We let LNG our slot (team has 25 points for 3 tournaments) and players will look for a new "house" etc. Or maybe Them to force LNG to buyout roster of RA. Names were taken spontaneously as an example
It all will depend on the rules and agreements

FNC, PRX, Maxim's NA team, NAVI

Is it about orgs or about players?
If it's about players, then 7-9 are jokes.
If it's about orgs then all "wishes" can be irrelevant, except for EDG, BLG, FPX, RNG, IG, LGD and maybe RA, ASE, NIP, TYLOO

people will forget it. People remember Winners and the Finals only. Not everyone remember that M5 gave a tougher fight than Azubu Frost against TPA in 2012. But everyone remember only TPA (and maybe Azubu)

LGD coach worked in Reckoning in India last season (Top-2 of India). Lost to Orangutan in the finals
