APAC counts for 8 subregions, mostly nationality based. It has been the case since the original SEA Challengers in 2021 and continued in 2022 with the addition of South Asia and Oceania.

Actually APAC Challengers does have a home region rule (3 players from the same region.) That's literally what had separated us from EMEA Challengers prior to 2023.

I honestly think Riot is emulating the ERLs from League.

ERLs in League of Legends:

Balkans
France
DACH
Poland
Spain
Northern Europe (UK/Nordics)
Baltic
Belgium
Netherlands
Czechia and Slovakia
Greece
Italy
Portugal

Compare it to what we have so far:

France and Benelux
Spain
Italy
Portugal
DACH
Northern Europe
Eastern Europe
Turkey
MENA

It's playing population, not actual population.

Yes.

Cohesion? Timeframe? First official match with the team? Could have so many reasons.

Honestly I don't know about Mongolia. North Korea? You wish.

Estonia, Latvia, Balkans, and some parts of CIS will be regrouped to Valorant Challengers East: Surge.

Oceania will have their own Challengers for 2023.

The game isn't approved in China. Trust me, once the game is approved, Riot will take care of them.

It's really fun! It's their style and Thai announcements vids are like thay

If you read the tweet posted by ZETA then, you would've known. At that time, ZETA was actively searching for a sixth. Reita was transferred over to REJECT on a one-year deal, and the announcement served as a mention of his contract expiring, and ZETA announcing his status soon within the team.

Waiting for the game released in China.

DTN is DetoNator, a different JP org. DFM is DetonatioN FocusMe, their LoL division. DNG is their stereotypical tag.

Read the actual Tweet.

Technically we do have VCT right now

I wondered what happened to famouz. Berserx/blaze/severine/famouz/nakya would be serviceable

Pretty sure I haven't seen bnTeT even going close to Valorant. Are you like... trolling us? Are you trying too hard?

Yep, most likely

Cigarette is a big Thai streamer, comparable to BOOMBURAPA and SuperBusS.

Chill

It's timely. It's rare that we got an article so late more than 48 hours or so after release. It's not an internet explorer moment. We have processes.

Lakia wouldn't really meshed with the lineup.

They didn't. Enigma made it in Qualifier 1.

So this is just an automated response because besides LF and Rossi, the rest of the Indian roster is classified as substitutes. I'll change it for this match.

There's a reason why 3/4th of OWL are filled with Koreans. The game was super popular. Before OWL, the biggest tournament was held WHERE CHALLENGERS KR IS RIGHT NOW. They have history.

Both have audiences. Both have different play styles. Shut up. Nobody will miss you. Anyone can enjoy both.

China is big enough for their own market and league. There'a a reason why League has a separate franchised circuit there alone. Riot may have the social presence there and they somewhat took the gamble with having CN teams on the EA LCQ, but as far as integrating them into the larger VCT ecosystem — that's a different story.

Putting them with APAC will be a disservice.

High risk.

The game isn't even approved there. We'll most likely see another third party circuit.

There is another

I'm just saying that there's discrepancies. I should've been a bit composed in my post.

VCT Game Changers is a new program which will supplement the competitive season by creating new opportunities and exposure for women and other marginalized genders within VALORANT esports. The competitive VALORANT community is both diverse and incredibly global, and our esport should reflect that. Through Game Changers, we hope to build towards a VALORANT Champions Tour that is more inclusive and representative of our community.

Please, please read the original announcement. I won't elaborate further.

Sorry, I can't let yall tarnish the legacy of Gotfrag. 4 stars aee prestigious.

I never say we should adopt it, I'm just saying one way or another, the reality is that teams will forgo regionalism and opt for more widespread success. Nothing wrong with representation, our region is built off the representation of our home region. But sometimes, business decisions and competitiveness will dictate if representation is always the way to go.

Welcome to the partnership life, fellas. This is what the League community (more so the Western fans) slowly come to accept as reality, and soon it'll be ours. While this isn't exactly as vile as RRQ's deceitful strategy in some capacity, be glad that Global Esports is more transparent in their recruitment and roster process than any team socially.

You're not looking at an Indian super team. This is the Pacific League. You're looking at an attempt on making a Pacific super team. It's a bit rude for me to say, but if they wanted to dominate and create an Indian super team, they should've been in Challengers South Asia, not partnered up as a Pacific League team.

What a (s)Scary sight, Seulgi. Why the fuck we stayed silent for this LMAO

I can confirm from a source either way

Udotan have posted LFT.

Disclaimer: This is DIRECTLY from the API. I'm going to figure out this mess. TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES.

We're currently trying to search for it!

The core is still there. Rain, BENECIA, Wavy

lenne. LOUD Corporation is the organizer.

Focus Me is the League team only.
