Unless the whole tournament is a DO bracket, then the schedule doesn't work out for a DO Playoffs

no, fuck, please no

1. breeze
2. haven
3. bind
4. (tied) split
5. (tied) ascent
6. icebox

10 matches just to eliminate a single team? Also the schedule doesn't work out for a DO bracket

It's pretty much confirmed that there will also be Bronze Match as 3rd and 4th place award a different amount of points

nt eSuba

thank you devs!!!!!

Also both EU teams are coached by britons, mini and sliggy and V1's coach immi is a briton as well

Stop my penis can only get so erect

what?

while I agree that cs's schedule is crammed af, but having only 4 proper touraments a year still seems like a much worse idea to me

yeah well they don't have a personality with a cult-like following like Scream, TenZ or mwzera.

so is the game going to start today?

they do (bigger or smaller) events in almost any esport u can imagine

why could they not do this in English as there's no other vct going on rn? they did English streams for Korea, and I know me and a lot of other people that don't speak Portugese but want to watch these matches would apperciate if there was an English stream.

Which, when (and if) 3rd party TOs do you see making regional, macroregional or global LANs, if Riot would ever allow that? Maybe ESL or NSG? Or maybe some of the Ignition Series TOs like Blast, Flashpoint, WePlay, Allied or LVL?
I personally would love to see some sort of Valorant IEM or ESL One with most of the spots based on invites, where half of the teams wouldn't be from SEA, Japan and LATAM

v1 being a darkhorse? sure. fnc however I think are major favorites for the title

pls pls pls pls

ikr

I mean look at Champions - 16 teams, yet they still decided to give 4 to LATAM+BR while only 3 to EMEA (also 1 from Masters 3 which is probably going to go to NA or EMEA, but still), and 5 to Asia with only 1 or 2 of them going to Korea

they won't. the corona issues would be concerning only LATAM South, and the organizers have stated that if the winner of LATAM South can't travel to Mexico for the LAN match, then they will send the LATAM North winner as a representative for the whole of LATAM

nice

also I'm pretty sure there will be heating inside the building

There's not any "upset" possible in LATAM as LAN and LAS teams haven't played against eachother so far, so there's no favorite

And I don't think we'l be seeing any major upset in BR, as I think 2 of GL, Furia, Sharks and Vikings will qualify

yeah these guys seemed pretty confident...

don't forget about sliggy's, mini's and boaster's gigantic brains and mistic's cracked viper

mistic on the viper tho 😳😳😳

yeah, theres regions with multiple server in it, and if youre for example in EU, u cant play on NA servers

there are:
EU
NA
LATAM
BR
Asia and OCE (together)
KR

nah, way too long a playoff and also just one win shouldn't award playoffs. make it the format ESL or DH use in CS:
QF1: 2A vs 3B
QF2: 2B vs 3A

SF1: 1A vs QF2
SF:2 1B vs QF1

GF: SF1 vs SF2

maybe add a 3rd place match

i don't think so as even open qualifiers are bo3

idc as long as pansy and yinsu are there

NA, EU and a bit of OCE

I think it's fine

the only way I can see CIS as A tier would be counting FPX

After fish123, G2, Team Heretics, Acend and FunPlus Phoenix, get ready Europe, get ready to crown your new Champions

upfrag if u agree

Commonwealth of Independent States aka former USSR states except Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, so basically mainly Russia

well that's what predicitions are about

jp below sea? interesting

never said that..

wrong thread?

thanks <3

thank you, I appreciate it coming from you

jp so high? interesting take

This is just my opinion, feel free to post urs below:
(I'm putting all of EMEA's regions, but not for SEA, MENA and LATAM)

S Tier: NA, EU

A Tier: BR, KR, CIS

B Tier: TR, JP, OCE

C Tier: LATAM, SEA

D Tier: MENA

edit: if u agree don't forget to upfrag the post and/or comment #36
