It can't

Ok so everyone who didn't qualify to Masters or Champions, everyone who got eliminated in open quals, should wait 2-3 months until the next stage begins? Is that okay?

Valorant and LoL tournament formats are the worst formats in the world. However Riot kids are so happy

Okay enjoy watching nothing until 2023, amazing 6 month offseason Valorant esport scene is

Yep, great esport, players get paid for scrimming, killed CSGO for sure

I almost fell for it

Yes it's most viewed, so what? Does it make things any better? Aside from allowing you to brag about "viewers"?

Who cares irrelevant boring esport, 2 international tournaments a year with the worst formats possible, what a fucking joke LoL is

I meant in CS

European crowd is just as good

Sadly Valorant beta crowd will never reach the level, the hype, the insanity of CSGO crowd

What's man to woman Valorant ranked playerbase ratio? Let's say 5 to 1. Quite realistic. In tier1, tier2 pro scene, there's not a single girl, and hundreds of men - thus the ratio is crazy, 150 to 1, 200 to 1, something like that.

It says something, doesn't it?

Mtf must be banned from competing in female esports

LoL would be just as popular if not more popular, if it wasn't franchised and had same open circuit system

The only reason LoL is successful is because Riot gave a lot of attention to Asia, which Valve didn't do

OW is also franchised, how it's doing?

Valorant didn't surpass shit lmao

Good luck surpassing anything with garbage franchise system, garbage formats, and only 30 teams per world

"Misgendered players" there's only 2 genders

Everyone does that, there's a lot of born males in GC

Fucking transphobe!!1!!

Based. But I'd deny trans in their tournaments too. They must play with men

Wdym no backup plan, you're saying they're giving him salary every month just because they pity him?

Cned is overrated, are you suggesting Molsi is not a good signing?

It's because he doesn't feel pressure in those games, just like in scrims
In big games he underperforms

I meant RRQ org

It is their fault. Riot gave RRQ franchise slot thinking it would sign all-Indonesian roster. Just like Riot gave Secret slot to field 6 filipinos, and Talon to field 6 thais. RRQ broke the promise.

So what? Does that justify whole 2 PH teams in franchise? No, it doesn't. Because, apart from Secret, no one from PH was ever good

Don't ask Riot to create good formats, their brains are incapable of such thing

Another PH player lmfao

What is this? How can you explain this extraordinary love for Philippines? This region hasn't even done shit in Valorant, yet already has 12 players in franchise? Compared to <5 from each of ID, TH, MYSG, HKTW, VN, CN?

That's Riot for you. Dogshit esport, dogshit organizer. They couldn't even provide the strongest SEA country with a team

Secret is also international Asia team
But Secret has full PH roster as well

Isn't it, a bit, you know, unfair?

Why so obsessed with PH players? PH region is literally garbage, they haven't achieved anything at all in 2022. If not even Indonesia, why go only for PH? Thailand, Vietnam, China players also exist. I don't understand.

No way you said that

Leaks said they won't get rid of magnum

No idea why magnum is so special, judging by stats (never watched a single game) he's just as bad as the rest

You literally haven't even compared the differences
"They look pretty similar" something what a guy who played 10 hours of CS would say

There's a reason why t4 csgo rejects are now gods in valorant, on the same level as t1 csgo players

Just proves that in Valorant all players are equal, despite them being very much different in CS
Low skill game

No, it just means Valorant has lower skill ceiling, that in Valorant s1mple / Chronicle will be equally good players, though in CS one is god and another is random t3 pugger

Targets in CS are smaller and they move faster. Try yourself. I mean even newbies know that CS aiming requires much more precise skills

What a stupid comparison. Of course CS is harder. Harder to aim, specifically. Less abilities means aim is also more important.

Why only french? So dumb

Riot have been shooting themselves in their feet since day 1 of valorant esports

KRU is really gonna make every international event?

All valorant teams are fluke, this game is not consistent

Then they wouldn't even be half as popular as they are currently

Because it's a Riot game. In LoL asians or people of asian descent make up 80-90% of playerbase too

Even when you look at LCS, around 70% of american players are asian amecans, which is weird because there's just 8% of them in USA, the proportion is crazy

Yes. To be good you need to have all 5 players performing. I'm sure other teams will build better rosters.
Also do you know how on earth magnum is so overrated? Like dude gets opportunities left and right, although his crazy shaky aim is the worst aim I've ever seen.

Looks like the worst team in Emea
Aside from trexx

EMEA has tougher competition than either Masters or Champions, on average

Why T1 and Gen.G only koreans? Korean (and Japanese) scene is so dead, maybe it's worth picking up some players from the rest of APAC?

Fnatic will never be top-1 with boaster and mini

doma and magnum were frauds and deserved to be kicked
neither were even top-5 in EMEA on their roles

There is no plan
