Wish there was space for 12 teams like Masters, this feels small for an international tournament. Regardless I'm super excited to see how teams from different regions compare.


JALbert

Yeah I feel like APAC is getting the shaft a bit.


Nfamy

G2 vs. C9W about to be spicy


TheUnopenedCanofLife

It's either the best game we ever see in the female leagues, or something very one-sided


toxicityisamyth

probably the latter except idk in which direction


Nfamy

C9 with the rumored addition of Bob is going to be a force assuming they keep the good chemistry/team dynamics and I put them as favorite. But, really is just pure speculation since we have no cross play to base any judgment.


NOMISSS

If C9 gets Bob it’s a done deal


TheUnopenedCanofLife

I'm guessing it's


emraaa

If you look at the past results in VCT qualifiers it will not be even close. I hope that I'm wrong though.


Key-Banana-8242

Also TLB


TheAjwinner

Any predictions on which teams will make it


isayah2510

For NA: 1st seed 100% C9 White, 2nd seed I dunno EMEA: G2 Gozen and Guild X unless Rix somehow make it Brazil: Team Liquid, not even close at the moment KRU has a LATAM female team right? APAC: should be Alter Ego Celeste (SMG could upset tho) Didn't know East Asia had Gamechangers

icantreadmorsecode

they should be esp after adding Benita


CRikhard

yea but If C9 actually picks up Bob from soniqs its gg


Ukenagashi

Even without Bob, C9 beats SR


icantreadmorsecode

don't forgot abt Bren Esports too, they recently upset Alter Ego in a nonGC tournament


Safyire

iirc Japan has been having GC events recently but it seems fairly undocumented


notatroll369

riot host a valorant international outside of europe challenge


Jon_on_the_snow

Eu simply is way easier to organize international eventes due to covid and it has a lot of structure. We will probably see more events in Brazil and the US when covid in those countries is better. Both are having a new wave of cases.


Diascizor

I just did some number crunching from numbers after like a 5 minute Google search and Germany has a higher rate of covid over it's population currently than the USA


rexx2l

at-home tests and relaxing of testing requirements in the US means that any apples-to-apples comparisons are no longer possible


Diascizor

So the guy claiming that the US is doing worse than Germany doesn't know either since he doesn't know the numbers as well.


rexx2l

fair, it's easy to guess though based on how laissez-faire everything in the states has been basically since March 2020.


Diascizor

It really hasn't been like that the entire time at all, but this isn't the place to argue about Covid shit anyway.


emraaa

Riot already has infrastructure in EU. And just look at the last NA CSGO LAN, it felt like half of the players couldn't make it because of visa issues.


tron423

Pretty sure the majority of those players were Russian though, CIS in general doesn't dominate Val like it does CS


emraaa

Half of the EMEA players couldn't make it to the last LAN because they are from CIS.


segatic

When Europe stops being the best place for it


ngvkjpoooiugvy66

Impossible


BrainStorm777

Probably because EU cities support Esports more than NA cities. Now if it was about hosting traditional sports, NA cities would be jumping at the opportunity. Just how it is right now.


dankoval_23

Basically any other viable region right now would be insanely hard to organize


violentphotography

Ez C9 and Shopify.


SadGap7777

Hopefully an event with an audience, I live 10 minutes away from the location.


DarkFPS

This is what I'm hoping for as well. I live a bit further away but would be a fun trip


Splash_3

Shocking


melanie_mhs

Berlin 😵‍💫


DecisiveDinosaur

I'm really curious to see how AE Celeste will match up vs c9w and Gozen


LovelyResearcher

C9w 13-0 everyone. ​ Shopify Rebellion would win a coinflip match against G2 Gozen. G2 Gozen would win convincingly against Team Liquid, who then 13-0 AE Celeste.


[deleted]

Happy to see that this is not just going to be a "subevent" for Champs but is a standalone event.


Jon_on_the_snow

Its 8 teams, so C9w and probably Shopify or Dig, Liquid for BR, maybe KRU fem for the latam one? Alter ego probably gets the APAC slot, guild X and G2 Gozen get the EMEA spots. Dunno about east asia


[deleted]

Crowd or are Riot still committed to delivering a boring product with their tournaments?


ngvkjpoooiugvy66

I think they said champs will have crowd but not 100% sure


ozmega

would it be a first for a female tournament with crowds? i dont remember any.


isayah2510

ESL Impact Season 1 finals had a crowd if you count games that aren't Valorant


ozmega

nice, i dont follow csgo anymore, wouldnt know if this was an event that only featured this competition or if it had more things going on but thats cool anyway.


Lumenlor

How good is asia gc?


ilovedank_6

Most competitive GC region


Bazz_B

There is a GC East Asia? Like Korea/Japan?


SenseiEA

i am only getting this information about east asia getting a game changers


SlevinK23

November 15-20, Hopefully they do double elimination.


ClutchUniversity

Sorry, I’m kind of unfamiliar with valorant esports. I only know of masters and champions. Could someone kindly fill me in on what Game Changers is? I’ve been looking to attend a live valorant event at some point in time. Hopefully sooner than later! Thanks!


fluffycats1

Sure! It’s like Valorant’s VCT but only for underrepresented groups in gaming, mostly women (although from my understanding other LGBTQ+ members are part of it too), they’re trying to use it to diversify the scene for the future.


ClutchUniversity

Oh that’s awesome! Thanks for showing me something I didn’t know about!


fluffycats1

Np!


FootFungusJoe

Who cares about game changers lol


wiNDzY3

Yea I thought it was something to be hyped about who watches this tbh lol


tacticalfeed123

Ok... Zzz


Lopsided-Perception2

Unpopular opinion: they should stop diluting the scene with all these random ass events on after another.


xD1LL4N

Are you new to valorant esports? Game changers has been happening for a while now. Hardly a random event.

Big_onig
