Feel like BCJ should be played instead he's really good but I trust potters descions.
lol wrote that a little wrong, still belive in them for 1st, but gj on at least 2nd!
demon1, also no one has been able to win back to back!
I still have hope held out for you on this, but nonetheless, good job getting 2nd! #iloveEG
2nd time I have stayed up till 11 for this, they better win.
AMERICAS: EG NRG LOUD C9 100T MIBR
But it was 6 minutes apart and a simple Google search! Can't believe an EG fan would be so feeble-minded!
No have the first game at 5-8 PM and the second one at 8-11 PM. Hopefully, this clears things up!
I just think the company should think about trying to appease all there viewers. This change is so simple and helps so many more people, even the Asian viewers say these timeslots could be better. 71.8% of people in china work so I don't understand why we can't just make the timeslots 6-7 for the first game and 9-10 for the last game. Would help all regions.
I agree, let's start it at 5-6 local time. But you're inflating these numbers. The longest BO3 in playoffs yet was 3 hours (https://www.vlr.gg/220443/team-liquid-vs-edward-gaming-champions-tour-2023-masters-tokyo-ubqf/?game=132700&tab=overview) Let's suppose we get 2 in a row that 6 hours, your off by 1-2 hours. If we start at 6 local time it will be 7:00AM for EST. Much better than 2:30AM and the Asian viewers wont be at work or school! Hopefully this clears it up!
The 'dead regions' part of the initial thread was bait. I have no problem with events being hosted in APAC/ASIA I just think the timeslots are terrible. For one the viewers in China have school and work at 2:30 PM so they will be forced to miss a game and a majority of NA/Europeans won't stay up till 2:30 AM-4:00 AM for Valorant. Thus I think there should be games from 5-6 PM and 8-9 PM. Thus incorporating all of the regions makes it a lot more inclusive for the majority of the people.
A 7-hour BO3 Valorant game? I agree though that pushing it back to something like 5-6 PM would be better. Good thing we can all work out arguments and find timeslots that work for the most popular regions whilst also integrating new regions into the space. All I'm saying is these times are not well thought out. Why have the games at 2:30 APAC time when most APAC/Asian watchers are at work or school? Why not just have it at 5-6 PM where they are likely off school and where Americans can watch before going to work or school?
I guess you right. I was just saying that time slot would work for me as I work at 9AM, however after some research, it appears 6-7 PM would be better as the average American goes to work at 7:45 AM. My point still stands. The timeslots could use some work
I think 6-7PM for the first game and
8-9PM for the second game would be the best for all regions.
People on this thread are jobless and dumb. Most functioning people cant watch the games at 2:30-3:30 pm (for most Asian countries) because of work and school. Yet I recommend a way better time slot 9 PM where most people are off school/work and can easily tune in whilst also being a lot easier to watch for westerns they just downvote. Literally less than 50IQ in this thread.
These times don't favor functioning members of society for APAC viewers as well. You might not have a job, but other APAC and Asian viewers do. Not only can a lot of Asian viewers not watch it because of jobs, but western viewers also cant either. Just make the time at 9 PM Tokyo time. That way people are off work and westerners can watch at 8 AM.
Say that to the 50% of viewers that stopped watching, I'm sure they'll start to tune back in.
I agree, the comments made were just bait. I'm really just asking them to make the timeslots more watchable for the main consumer (western countires). Refer to this thread I made earlier:
"Agreed. 9 PM Tokyo time would be beneficial to US and Europe. I don't see why that wasn't plausible. These time slots are just so badly thought out. It's not the problem of regions (baited) it's the problem that Riot cant time slot them better. As if players and viewers in APAC/ASIA cant watch the game at 9 PM."
I suggest that they should host at 9 PM Tokyo time so viewers in the West can watch at 6-8 AM rather than 2 AM.
The stats are still in favor of Masters 2022. Seeing as the game's average player count went up by 500,000 and the view count between each tournament has risen every time (except for this time). I can say that these time slots do not favor viewers.
Here is the viewer stat page: https://twitchtracker.com/valorant/statistics

That's why LOCK/IN is there. The game has grown a lot since Masters 2022, it wouldn't be a fair comparison. However LOCK/IN vs Masters is very fair, if not in favor of Masters.
Every time I bring statistics up in one of these threads, everyone disregards it. They are devoid of intellect, it's necessary. If there's anything that I need to clear up I will. LMK

Look at the difference in viewership. This is crazy. Riot please don't host in these dead regions where your viewers cant enjoy it. ~50% of the viewers are just gone. Just go back to good regions, please.
*EDIT: SORRY FOR SAYING CHAMPIONS 2023 MEANT MASTERS 2023
6-7 PM vs 5 AM
You're argument is still flawed.
Agreed.
Host it in a more centralized location like Europe where the timezones are more easily achievable by the majority of the viewers.
Nope:) Sadly the first game was at 3-5 AM for the Europeans. Quiet rough timeslots for well over 50% of the fanbase.
So more like 1/2 of the viewers are good.
I'll clear this up for you. Demon1 got there on Jun 7 (https://twitter.com/Demon1___/status/1666436527579189248) and it takes 5-7 days to adjust to a timezone (https://www.today.com/health/daylight-saving-time-begins-sunday-here-are-4-ways-help-t210756#:~:text=We%20sometimes%20naturally%20wake%20up,adjust%20to%20daylight%20saving%20time.). They have already played games. Your argument makes some sense but still doesn't disprove my argument. They were worse for the players and the fanbase. :)
Sorry, I was wrong it's probably more like 35% with the United States, All South American countries, and Canada.
Either way, the Americas have the majority of the player base which is why the time slots are placed very badly.
These time slots do not favor the players. For the European teams, it feels like 10-12AM for the North American players it feels like 3-5AM. That is half the players and more than half the fanbase basically being left out. The decision to host this tournament in Tokyo was bad. The decision to make these timeslots like this was also a bad one.
You're missing the point. The majority of people who watch Valorant are from North America. Using these timeslots cut viewership in half. Although I can't prove that the majority of VALORANT Twitch channel viewers are from North America. I can make an educated guess based on the player count of the game being 23.53% North American.
Agreed, more importantly, is that Potter is a top 2 coach. But people are probably not ready for that conversation yet either.
1.) EG
2.) NRG
3.) LOUD
4.) FNATIC
5.) TL
6.) NAVI
7.) PRX
8.) DRX
9.) FUT
10.) T1
It's a good schedule for a minority of watchers. A majority of VALORANT viewers are from North America.
Tell me you don't watch EG without telling me you don't watch EG:
Demon1
Ethan
Boostio
Com
Jawegemo
They're all close but Ethan is their most solid player and is the glue to this team. Demon1 has been crazy at getting impact rounds and has really created the team. Boostio is really good but gets carried by the GOAT potter, he is a decent IGL and an above-average player. Com is fairly solid and Jawgemo is fairly inconsistent and his agent pool and game sense on the agents are fairly low. He does make some hero plays though.
EG - Intellectual
The scheduling for these games is extremely ass. It's currently 4:00 AM, and I have school tomorrow. But this particular game was worth it. Witnessing the highly overrated teams (DRX and Fnatic) being outplayed by the GOAT Potter is worth it.
If your an EG fan you can get it done in a few hours of training. It comes with intellegence.
Potter has a plan, trust me. #EGwin!

Christine Chi is the best coach in Valorant currently. #girlpower
The EG banner symbolizes the union of high IQ and intellectual prowess. It brings together a community of individuals who value critical thinking and knowledge. Within this community, ideas flourish, intellectual growth is nurtured, and collaboration thrives. 🤝
My love for EG knows no bounds; it is a profound affection that sets me apart from everyone else. When it comes to adoring EG, I stand alone in my unwavering devotion. Regardless of whether EG boasts a fanbase of a million enthusiastic supporters or a mere handful of dedicated fans, I remain steadfast as the epitome of love and admiration. In a world where EG's popularity soars, attracting a staggering one million fans, I proudly join the ranks of that vast multitude. Together with fellow enthusiasts, I bask in the collective joy of appreciating EG's remarkable talents and contributions. The shared passion within this thriving community reinforces my deep connection and strengthens the bond I have with EG.However, even in scenarios where EG's fanbase becomes more modest, with only a hundred fervent followers or even dwindling to a solitary supporter, I remain unyielding in my devotion. Numbers do not define the intensity of my love. My commitment remains resolute, and I continue to champion EG's creativity and achievements, cherishing every aspect that makes them extraordinary. But what if the unthinkable were to happen, and EG found themselves devoid of any fans? In such a distressing situation, I would stand as the lone guardian of unwavering support. A testament to the power of my connection, I would tirelessly express my love for EG, ensuring that their brilliance does not go unnoticed or fade away into obscurity.In these hypothetical circumstances, where EG's fanbase wanes or even dissipates completely, my heart would ache with a sense of loss. The absence of a vibrant community to share in the joy of EG's work would leave an undeniable void within me. Their artistry and impact have become an integral part of my identity, and the prospect of their greatness going unrecognized would be deeply disheartening.
EG's resilience in managing their economy was impressive. They won 4 out of 5 rounds with limited funds, making the most of what they had and not letting a tight budget hold them back. Boostio and Demon1 from EG really stood out with their kill performance. They consistently made an impact, getting the job done and contributing positively to their team. Their kill-to-death ratios were impressive, showing their ability to make things happen on the battlefield. EG had some incredible multikills throughout the game. Boostio pulled off a 4k, while Demon1 secured impressive 3k rounds. These moments shifted the momentum and gave EG a real fighting chance. What impressed me even more was EG's ability to manage their economy effectively. They made smart spending decisions, always ensuring they had a decent buy even in tough situations. This strategic approach kept them competitive and unfazed by NRG's pressure. EG showed their adaptability by countering NRG's strategies. They read the game well and made changes on the fly, proving their tactical flexibility and determination to stay in the fight. Overall, EG will win this GG
