According to the MSI Rules, several basic principles are prescribed:

The No. 1 seeds in EMEA and North America are in Pot 1 and are placed in two different halves

The Brazil and APAC champions are in Pot 2 and are placed in two different halves

Teams from the same region will not meet in the first round

EMEA: BBL. Queen G2. Gozen

North America: EG. GC Version1

Brazil: TL.Brazil

APAC: SMG

Latin America: KRU. Blaze

East Asia: EDG. SE

you changed flag from us to canada?

Lizhi said that she would miss GC Championship due to health issues, what a pity, but as first time a Chinese side qualifies to the championship even when it would be held in China's dawn or morning we'll take our full effort to support them as LOCK IN.

It's simply an impossible task, and it obliterates the real differences between men and women.

That means last year G2 Gozen had beat following teams that won the championship.The final was a reverse sweep. Yeah, you're really stupid. But there's a problem since G2 and Version1 had been merged.

G2 Gozen vs Team Liquid Brazil
KRU Blaze vs Evil Geniuses GC
Edward Gaming SE vs BBL Queens
Version1 vs Team SMG
How would you think about this draw?

The Chinese have already sprayed her.
But one thing must be said: in order to prevent the players from falling in love and affecting the state, the women's team is based in Shenzhen, not at the Shanghai headquarters. Lizhi played at her home in Chengdu.

Chinese forum is talking about loan yue, their former teammate who had transferred to DRX GC but then benched, as stand-in

yeah,Lizhi has a pacemaker implanted in her body, and she has to take oxygen when playing games, and it is difficult to say whether she can go to Brazil, but Blue has only practiced for 2 months

choke...

as EDG can't make Bind which Zeta played well in the tournament open

lb

bet rate seemed that there might be an upset

How EDGS would win depends on suzu's state
wait for tomorrow's bet rate

yeah,lizhi was previously a famous Apex streamer. There were many teams in China in 2021 but most of them disbanded due to frozen of import game approves and Totoro matchfixing incident, only EDG persisted on VALORANT.

American‘s view on sexes......East Asia is more conservative towards LGBT, not to mention that film and television dramas are very open, that is to win Western awards

And CCG played from 5 pm till 11 pm CST, CCG may not have time for dinner at all.

problem is that:in men's/open VCT competitions had we never see a team needs to play 2 BO3s in a day, but GC teams, which take nowhere near as much physical strength as the men's, to play 2 BO3s continuously. This is completely unfair, don't say that GC is in low attention. East Asia GC is an international tournament which can make great attention. IF the UF was Zeta versus CCG and CCG lost, it would led to great internet violence against Riot.

No. NA has also made same problem making QF and USF played in same day (but 2 QF are played at the same time for a USF). In Chinese LAN qualifying EDGS and CCG are both allocated for 2 BO3 in a row but their opponents were too weak that could not gain 10 points in a BO3.
But in today's case, CCG played a full BO3 with only 20 minutes to break, while in CS, the break shall be at one to two hours.

People in Chinese forum said that making UF following SF was a scolding decision, making two teams playing 2 BO3 in a row, only making schedule shorten by 1 day, from 6 to 5.
While making Loser Bracket playing in one day gave significant advantages towards WF losers. In China's FGC when LF's winner immediately face WF's loser for second qualifying berthes, only 3 wins, 5 lost, the winners including ASE and Gank with d3ffo.
Ideal schedule:
Day1-2: QF
Day3:SF
Day4:WF,LR1
Day5:LF(BO5)
Day6:GF(BO5)

EG's female CS squad, EG Gold, also has a Chinese player. Maybe I shall not use questionmark.

EG Female Squad needs a Chinese?

In Asia-Pacific，most players could speak English, even in China, as VALORANT was approved 2 years later than International, players then all trained in HongKong or Singapore servers.

Yeah, but in Chinese forums, ZETA and FENNEL were seemed invicible.
While the bet rate was in favor of EDG...

Nobody would predict that two Chinese teams would meet in UF.
Awesome!

Riot used resident to define players' affiliate region
First, HK,Macau and Taiwan residents are legally Chinese citizens, shall be seemed as native by Chinese law, but played in Pacific Region
Second, relieve NA, seeing LCS teams with most of them Koreans and Europeans
But GE had bought Russ, an overseas Indian, which is seemed as native player

How could festival sunk in South Korea qualifier?

El Clasico de CNFPS

TJD was the worst team of CN VALORANT

yeah, seeing GC team playing against tier 2 team was very rare.
I had written an article about Game Changers, behind the regular cliches like little athlete pool, age problem, and low viewership, there are still two big problems: first, cheating. In both GameChangers and Female CSGO you could find many professional players had cheated (GamerLegion released two female players due to cheating). Second, infighting and salaries.In China GC Qualifier, two of members of TYLOO GC refused to compete for higher salaries, forced the club to use players that only played VALORANT for 18 days!!! And they had even beat Nova GC for semifinals.

juliano returned to CSGO while mary retired to focus on study

hffo can't play due to health issues

China is also a sexist region, we don't have any series for GC through the year and only hold qualifications in September. Some teams had to withdraw due to having virtual streamers in squad. In China, female esports are synonymous with vases, indiscipline and infighting.

Nonono, EDG was besieged because the emblem was too similar to one of Japanese family crest

Ancient culture background

Renegades had disbanded

ISSAA said in stream that he had joined Chinese organization JJH when he playing with former Tyloo captain Mo

Bought by Macanese business man Mario HO, it had merged with Chinese orgnization V5 and ES.
Still remember its Brazilian squad's choke against ZETA in Rejkjavik.

Don't want an American Champions again, hope to be ASEAN or Western Europe

d3ffo had left

Tyloo player's stream

would still be in United States, this time might be Atlanta or Boston

EDG,BLG,FPX,NIP,WBG,TES,JDG,Tyloo,UP,AG

Maybe Riot do not wanna audiences call Master Champions 'World Champions'

1.Open qualifier of GameChanger China is ongoing
2.Funplus Phoenix is disbanding
3.Tyloo has confirmed VCT CN berth, from stream of Tyloo player

Rumor:FunPlus Phoenix is disbanding
TYLOO got VCT CN berth

cheat tournament
before LOCKIN we believed that 100 Thieves was the best squad of the world but only found it no worth of the fame

2021 champions berths were removed due to match fixing scandal
so China's first appearance in VCT was made by themselves, not by Riot's gift

I had viewed some videos of 2021 Berlin Masters later that year, while I firstly watched live tournaments during 2022 Reykjavik Masters.
