EVERYTHING IS A TOURNAMENT! right?
sigh, just sigh.
- ALL open qualifier teams start from the lower bracket.
- no communication of any of this, everything has been built on "OPEN QUALIFIERS EVERYONE CAN QUAL".
- we find out not from Riot themselves but through an invited org tweet?
- no mention of any of this in the rulebook or on social media anywhere before UCAM's tweet, designed to be a haze.
- marketing campaign built on "OPEN" qualifiers, "fairness" & "equality" isn't really correct, is it? but when were you going to tell us this? did you ever plan to tell us this?
oh also haha, NO TECH PAUSES ARE ALLOWED in open qualifiers as the rulebook states this 😭
so not only do invited teams skip open qualifiers, they get to start in the upper bracket with everyone else from open qualifiers having to start in lowers?
the marketing campaign for 2027 was built on open qualifiers & fairness. everyone has to fight for their spot, we find out now only a few days before registration ends that this is not the case but you have partnered teams & invited teams in every region who are given an advantage to everyone else.
not only this but having to start in the lower bracket for EVERY OPEN QUALIFIER TEAM? for invited teams playoffs is double elimination, for open qualifier teams it's single elimination.
well best of luck to everyone in open quals! you're fighting a constant uphill battle. not that you knew it to this degree, of course.

Un poco de piedad con los jugadores de mas de 25 años que no mantengan el nivel de LEC/VCT pero quieran seguir compitiendo y transmitiendo su experiencia a los chavales. Quizas lo que tenga que mejorar es el feedback a Riot sobre como mejorar sus ligas porque vaya tela el nivel
Lots of news about ERLs. IMO the current system needs to be more focused. Make it a real development league.
✅No imports.
✅Under 25 players only.
Whether it's region based or one league I don't know (I like the LES). The mission should be to develop the best young players in our region.
@HITBOXKING mucho valor a la hora de ganar un mapa. Lo malo es que ya sabemos que es algo que no piensan arreglar por razones que ya se han comentado numerosas veces. Y si lo anterior era malo el hecho de que no actuen en consecuencia es aun peor, menudo desastre.
@HITBOXKING A mi me preocupa que probablemente no sea Leo el unico no consciente sino varias personas las que hayan llegado a esta conclusion. Y me preocupa porque a estas alturas rodo el mundo tendria que saber que las partidas en Valorant son altamente volatiles y rondas concretas tienen
@suga_vct Yo creo que los jugadores les da menos miedo jugar con raton de bola, teclado de membrana y 60HZ y que sea igual para todos que lo que tienen ahora 💀
@kam1esports Si, no he seguido mucho China este año en parte por la bajada de nivel pero me da la sensacion de que tampoco son capaces de exprimir de la mejor manera el talento que tienen. Veremos si algun equipo consigue romper con la dinamica como hizo EDG en su dia
