no

No, that doesn't make sense. You can't objectively say "FPX would've beat/lost to Sentinels or 100T would've crushed Fnatic" because you haven't watched them play each other.

World ranking won't be consistent enough to formulate a ranking among teams. Maybe we'll rank the regions, but to have a consistent elo system between regions would require SO much more international play, which Riot might not do(see league)

Especially with how volatile the scene now(Version1, KRU, Sharks might not qualify) it doesn't make sense for there to be a ranking with 20 teams that don't play at every international event that only happens once every quarter.

I eat rice

In total, Riot's definition for EMEA(EU, Russia, Turkey) is only 800 million(which is still big compared to NA) but not 1.7 billion lol

that's including africa
what are you smoking

poiz is kicked, xeppaa replacing poiz, tenz remains under contract with cloud9 and plays with Sentinels

This. If Sinatraa isn't convicted(ew), Sentinels could afford to loan TenZ until the end of Stage 3, and then have TenZ go back to C9.

I don't think Sentinels have the resources to pay for TenZ's buyout, nor would they want to.

C9 easily could qualify for Last Chance or Berlin, and if they qualify for Champions, TenZ and the rest of Cloud9 would be in contention for the best in the world.

Keep in mind, Xeppaa's still on Cloud9. Would love to see how that works out, or if Cloud9 forms some kind of developmental program.

As they would say, the ball is in Cloud9's court. They get to make the next move that defines NA.

Sentinels are tops confirmed

Mechanics is a good step. Once players are comfortable, make the game harder overall, increasing the possible level of competition and increasing the tier1 and tier 2 gap - "What makes a good player?"
Riot already tried(and kinda failed) to support Korean region. They need to combine with other regions to stay alive. Playerbase won't increase in Korea w/ PC Bangs not being able to play VALORANT
CIS scene: While there are loads of skilled players, Riot needs to help improve viewership there. There simply isn't that much interest in Russia rn about VALORANT.

Berlin and Champions will be the same format. 16 teams no play-in, potential formats include 16DE, GSL 8SE, RR 8SE(the last one is slightly less likely as Riot has said it's a double-elimination tournament)

ez for SN ON and SN huanfeng

O PLANO washed
FURIA carried by American
paIN lost to Liquid
BRCS washed as hell

Dude, you want to play on 70 ping? xD, riot has already split LATAM between BR, LAN and LAS. Riot had to bribe the Chilean government to allow cross-regional play between LAN + LAS

wait how does combined Challengers work for EMEA though? Circuit points are given for teams that qualify for combined EMEA Challengers, and that'll be the case next year with LANs returning

And? VCT India is releasing soon. Just chill.

Riot will do something and Riot will combine Asia for LCQ

No, what? Why do you want to decrease Brazilian representation? just have 2 BR 1 LA
Also combining Asia would be horrible for the ping. EMEA is fine, but other than that I'm not sure combining regions is the best thing.

No, this is a horrible idea. Whoever made this has no sense of how international travel and interregional competition works. When China releases, Riot will definitely make it its own region. Combining 3 separate languages doesn't work. SEA is so big already with 6 different regions, and adding India isn't a good idea. Just make it a new region South Asia like the LCQ outlines. Australia connected to NA is stupid. Asking teams to travel between regions is idiotic for qualifiers.

europoors KEKW
their teeth are yellow and their val teams are trash

TenZ-10 kills on Derke
Derke-9 kills on TenZ

FNC could lose to TL again, I really don't want to see an NA v NA final, and I don't think that'll happen thankfully.
Either Riot hires the scriptwriters or Version1 just outright loses UBF against Sentinels(quite likely) or UBSF against Nuturn(slightly less lightly).

beb0p RIP
3-5-21 -> 5-26-21

wrong site... have fun in mm with 40% loss

NA > EU > KR > BR = LATAM = SEA > JP

BR “Bad Region" is known as the most overrated region to arrive at Reykjavik. Since they were praised by "Plat Chat", they have had a negative record in Iceland, and look to exit Iceland in the last place of the 2-slot regions.
