So I'm guessing we're gonna rotate the Champions location among the 4 regions. 2024 - Seoul (APAC) 2025 - Paris (EMEA) 2026 - China 2027 - Americas 2028 - back to APAC again, and so on I like this idea Riot, big W.
@@nono-yd8ijyeah true, that shits so frustrating. Like you’d imagine that players that good would actually be impacted by that though, even if it is a tiny difference between reactions in ms.
suggestion, there should be another ascension s-tier tournament like winner of each ascension region (4 teams from each region) will compete together in single short series(like semis and final) and winner of that series will face VCT champions of that same year, just like UEFA super cup which played between UCL and UEL winner.
Lol it's gonna be coughing baby versus hydrogen bomb. You're essentially asking T2 players to versus the best team in the world. Other than g2 (I mean the guard was alr top seeds last time) literally all the t2 teams were so shit. Best other t2 team was drg lmao
@@yuze3047 Lmao, a lot of T2 teams are better than T1, and this isn't just any T2 team, They will be the winner of the ascension, who will anyway play the T1 team in the league phase following promotion, so it will be fair to both teams. They can manage to crush T1.
@@twitch7657 What, literally other than G2, what EMEA and NA Ascension teams are gonna keep up with winners of VCT Champs? GentleM8s, Apeks, Bleed? No chance... They cant even keep up in regular season
@@twitch7657 you realise that T2 teams dont even have the resources to compete with T1 teams over an year long season rt? Ur Idea of a Super Cup can be best implemented by just putting together the winners of the masters and champions tournaments together in a group and kicking off the new season with this tournament.Otherwise the idea isnt very practical
Many good changes but I hope SO MUCH that you implement the playoff seeding which TMV suggests. Otherwise there will be ao many irrelevant games later in the split
Now all I care about is them using SWISS format instead of double elimination. Hopefully we see this somewhere. It’s more interesting to never see the same 2 teams fighting twice
The only thing that isnt clear to me is “refreshing” the classic skins. Is it that hard to just give us a Ghost if youre not willing to do a rifle? Classic skins only really sucks for anyone who bought one this year as obviously they cant equip both.
Resetting match records for stage 2 is I think a straight counter to those frauds at kru who honestly didn’t deserve to be at this champions. Their good stage 1 record was the only reason they qualified for champs which was bs imo.
Why are there no lock-in style tournaments anymore? Just genuinely curious because it sounds like a good thing for international viewers to watch teams of all skill levels and regions go head to head.
I know its fairly recent, but is there going to be a console pro scene, premier, or challengers in any kinda way? So that the console community can also be involved in a more professional way
Love everything but having Phase 1 act as a sort of “practice” before Phase 2 sucks. But they’re expanding and making as much room possible for more teams to compete and I love to see it. ps. WATCH GAME CHANGERS! IT’S THE BEST FEMALE ESPORTS EVENT CURRENTLY!

great i wanted to go to champions paris thinking that it would be when i have summer break and now im actually crying cause i wont be able to go cause i will be in school, thanks riot
The Game Changers scene still proves to just be a league to showcase talent instead of promoting those players to teams in tier 1 or tier 2. Game Changers is nice in theory, but I RARELY hear of games or events. Rework Game Changers or merge it to collaborate with tier 2. So many good players, not a good way to relegate them properly.
Shortening the off-season is actually W
Yep, it prolly made a lot of pros happy
shouldve been like this to begin with, half a year off-season for everyone but the 3 champs teams is insane
What is "W"?

It's also like that for LoL Worlds 👍🏻
they literally did the same thing to league of legends but worse because they only host events in major countries
They do the same thing for league worlds
2028 could be in the UAE
U should counting from 2023 dude. So we go back to america in 2027
Wait these ideas are actually good. Someone’s been cooking over at Riot.
If KC qualifies to Paris then it's gonna be a good one I think
@@chroma79yeah, the hype would be crazy fr

All extremely positive changes, Riot cooked with this one
holy shit they actually listened to feedback on the format, LETS GO
They always did, VCT just preps everything around 2 years in advance, so all this has been in the works since 2023 really
@@ConsolePlayr I mean... the agent balancing is pretty bad tbh
Yeah man its not fun they nerfed like that @@Bluetorch_
@@Bluetorch_ not really
hi, sorry I'm new to this game and don't play it but I just enjoy watching it, why is this a big improvement on the format?
Nah records no longer carrying over from Stage 1 is a banger move.
Frankly this entire video is filled with banger moves.
W
There are so many bangers because of the many Ls in this year's VCT
finally, but i think the placements in stage 1 will still matter for points. correct me if im wrong.
except new classic skins, why not a diff gun :/
@@xdShazakcus the classic is pretty cheap
Well, this year's format is confusing for newer fans (like Stage 2 Ranking is like overall instead to Alpha/Omega + Overall combined)
MASTERS TORONTO IN JUNE LETS GOOOOOOO WHERE MY TORONTO HOMIES AT!

Bangkok supremacy!!! Let's goooo
LETS GO CANADA!!!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Awesome!!! Looking forward to getting to Paris!
Excited to watch in Bangkok ❤️❤️❤️
Ultra Stoked that a Valorant LAN is coming to Toronto, Canada! Talk about the true meaning of #boostthenorth for the #Valorant community in Canada!
reel it in bro
#boostthenorth daddy
Let's go!! Academic teams is now on!!!! GL
Was really hoping they would scrap the kickoff event and do a "normal" Masters after each split and then an LCQ for Champs
MASTERS TORONTO!!!!! LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
I saw SK rossi ❤🇮🇳
Ew
😢😢.
Big W. TenZ Home event in Toronto!!!!!!
Masters London when?
Based on what seems like the 4 region rotation, not until at least 2029, assuming Valorant esports live that long (it almost definitely will).
@@BrowningAstilo cs esports has lived for like 20 years and keeps getting stronger so im guessing it will be the same for val unless they mess up
Irl knife fights
@@BrowningAstiloprobably sooner. Masters locations tend to be more random than champs
im sure we can just cross the channel for champs at paris
1:13 dos9 king
Many good changes but I hope SO MUCH that you implement the playoff seeding which TMV suggests.
Otherwise there will be ao many irrelevant games later in the split
Next season will be really interesting but i hope they will upgrade pc in internationals
Im waiting for the esport hub to have also gc teams
Just heard the news, me and the boys are already planning to go to Paris in October.
Can’t miss out if it’s close enough!
For PRX
Bros come to sea when I leave sea☠️
Planning to travel from US to Toronto for Masters. Thanks for bringing one of the tournaments to Americas ❤
Really hope next year’s vandal is amazing!
Honestly all these changes are good, good job Riot! But what about a Masters event in Vancouver in the future? (pleaseeee)
Overall great changes, would love masters/champs London one day
Thank you for listening to the community and continuing to evolve, great work team.
Now all I care about is them using SWISS format instead of double elimination. Hopefully we see this somewhere. It’s more interesting to never see the same 2 teams fighting twice
Still waiting for a masters manila
not developed enough for a masters probably
champs manila, Philippine Arena lets gooooo! 💀
The only thing that isnt clear to me is “refreshing” the classic skins. Is it that hard to just give us a Ghost if youre not willing to do a rifle? Classic skins only really sucks for anyone who bought one this year as obviously they cant equip both.
It's kinda cool, seems like they're making it all bigger which gives the teams more chances, audiences more to watch, and the events more money lol
YES!!!! Champipns in Paris. I might go there, since its in Europe.
Yooooo more competitions? They are cooking something amazing here
Resetting match records for stage 2 is I think a straight counter to those frauds at kru who honestly didn’t deserve to be at this champions. Their good stage 1 record was the only reason they qualified for champs which was bs imo.

That lock in is only for opening franchise era
Thinking we'll have an event in Vegas in the coming years for sure
I know its fairly recent, but is there going to be a console pro scene, premier, or challengers in any kinda way? So that the console community can also be involved in a more professional way
cant wait to see vct live in toronto next year! im so excited

Replay system reveal for 5th anniversary. Let's go!
Paris... Might actually have to go there in person this time
I live in Toronto. Very excited for the next year's master
Lil bro mentioned
SK Rossi ❤
Now just have more games a day at masters/champs and it is close to perfection
i have to say riot is so good at always expanding their esports its so cool
Lets go thank you for champions Paris ❤❤❤ also w format you coooked this year
Toronto mentioned🗣🗣, I CAN FINALLY WATCH A PRO MATCH LIVE WWWW
Damn i was hoping it would be in Singapore/Indonesia when SEA is mentioned 😭
The mouth sound are intense. Having a bite of an apple can help reduce the speakers wet mouth sounds
THANK YOU!
Masters should ALWAYS be worth more points then a stage win like masters should be worth 5 points while a stage win should be 3
Finally an event on EST so I don’t have to pull an all-nighter just to watch the matches 😭
Riot Deserved the 3m+ views. Then they gave us this. MORE POWER TO RIOT!!!! GOTY!!!
tbf these changes are acc good, i think maybe increasing the teams that can qualify to the events
Hope the plans you have proposed will go smoothly👍

VALORANT Champions Tour, nice content keep it up bro
When will VCT come to the East Coast of the US. Masters in Miami, Atlanta, or Boston would be cool
This looks promising. However again only 2 teams for the first masters event is a bit weird but its fine atleast the kickoff format is much better
still holding out for skins made for the Champions winners like in LOL but team specific knives will suffice
A preview of the Valorant Champions Chongqing 2026:
The slogan of the competition is "Master, Prentice, Together, Clutch!".
The MV of the theme song is the story of a player who sended "Recruiting Prentices" and really recruited a prentice, and finally the prentice entered the Valorant Champions under his careful education.
The 2026 champions skins has two main guns:
Vandal, means "master"
Odin, means "Pretence"
Both main guns have obvious neo-Chinese and kung Fu elements
The melee is a nunchakus. Yes, nunchakus
After reaching level 2, the tap action and view are very cool, and the Heave hit is a Kick! A literal kick!
The important thing is that holding the nunchakus and pressing it twice can make a fist salute, and this view has a third person perspective!
[A real master will only look at the word "Recruiting Prentices" literally]
love u Valorant !
Actually awesome changes can’t wait to watch in Bangkok

cool now add replay system
Teams that wins Masters should be automatically qualify to Champions no?
So when will Co-Ed teams take the big stage?
when they qualify and win ascension
When they are good enough
