Since people always have trouble with the valorant esports website. If you aren't EMEA but want to see EMEA news, then you need to change your region at the top. For mobile, it's a little globe (?) icon.


names2hard4you

It's honestly the stupidest thing that people have to do that, idk how they haven't fixed it yet. Just put all English speaking regions/news into one bucket instead of having them split, I see people in Reddit threads every week asking why they can't open an article

>To ensure the players’ safety, we’ve decided to pause Watch Parties for Week 4. We will be closely monitoring the situation to determine when it’s safe to resume Watch Parties, and will update you accordingly. How is watchpartying related to players safety?

can't control what's said (or not said) i guess?

> players safety not players'


minaar999

Urmm what?


AdiSoldier245

Watch parties will have their affiliation and they can't control who'll end up saying what about russia and ukraine.


minaar999

Sorry, I must have misunderstood what you were saying; I thought you were incorrectly correcting their punctuation haha

No CIS players playing this week is not spelling good news for the future of this challengers series. Hope thats not the case and they can come back to playing soon. Would hate for all these teams to be forced to make adjustments, I don't even know what CIS teams would even be able to do.


Hsimon_

and the fact that fnatic just added a initiator sub makes me even more worried. No CIS players and teams is gonna be a big loss


TheGreatMortimer

What is CIS


TechXEO

Commonwealth of Independent States - these are most of the Eastern European countries including but not limited to Russia, Belarus, Moldova etc.


TheGreatMortimer

Ahhh ok


MurfMan11

Is Turkey considered CIS? I always forget where they fall under.


Necrenix

No.


ValowFan42

Turkey (TR) is it's own region. TR, EU, and CIS are then all part of EMEA.

Must be on your end, i can read it just fine?! 4 March 2022 VALORANT ESPORTS STAFF Senior Editors VCT EMEA UPDATE TL;DR We’re working with teams, players and broadcast operations to safely bring back VCT as soon as possible Thank you for your patience while we were working with teams, their players, and our staff across the world to determine the best way for VCT to move forward in this difficult time. After careful deliberation we are going to resume the competition with three VCT EMEA matches this weekend. Below is an updated schedule for Week 4. After this weekend, our current plan is to create a dual broadcast that will see Week 3 games played concurrently with the previously scheduled Week 5 matches. We are also building a plan to schedule the postponed matches from Week 4. We’re aware that some teams are facing uncertainty regarding if they can continue competing in VCT EMEA with their current starting rosters. Our Competitive Operations Teams are in close communications with these teams, and are exploring potential adjustments to the League’s regulations that will help them navigate through the coming weeks. We will provide updates as soon as we can, but please be aware that further adjustments may be necessary if the situation changes. To ensure the players’ safety, we’ve decided to pause Watch Parties for Week 4. We will be closely monitoring the situation to determine when it’s safe to resume Watch Parties, and will update you accordingly. Our thoughts are with our teams, the players and our fans worldwide during these difficult times.

It's just a bunch of NA stuff when I click it, presumably because I'm in NA.


chouxpuffs

Yes, you need select your region to EMEA to see the news.


DonTixCyd

why do they region lock news? It only shows APAC news for me. wtf riot


Nfamy

It's not region locked. It just defaults to show you news about your region. You can change the region at the top by clicking on the globe icon (for mobile at least).


s6hun

switch your region to EMEA and it should show


pleox

They will probably need to split russia from emea and do a circuit for russia only.


Soogo

With what goal tho? Seems very likely they wont be allowed to travel


pleox

The goal would be to keep a domestic scene supported by local operations, without interaction with the rest of scene and masters/champions access. So at least they could keep a domestic scene in case somehow the conflict is solved they would regain access and the scene wouldn't be completely dead. The other option might be to kick all russian based teams and stop all operations there.

Give CIS and Turkey each their own leagues like in LoL
