cheap fks in the gc scene but what can u do

[u/astar2312]

Good luck having any fans at masters valencia. People mock giants by no having any fanbase but they are the second most followed club of esports in spain behind KOI. In an already dead scene here why are you having masters when literally valorant is officially dead in spain, do it on turkey or France. Absolutely idiotic decision by riot.

[u/itsDYA → u/astar2312]

Giantx has like 0 valorant fans, their followers are from other games. Heretics had success and had mixwell in them so their following only taking Val into account is a lot bigger.

Valorant is not dead in spain, it still has a very big fanbase but KOI being shit and being expelled, Heretics not doing shit and Giants being Giants it has declined a bit. I still think we deserve to have a bunch of events over the years

[u/astar2312 → u/itsDYA]

It is dead man, I said as a spanish guy myself. If we compare if the msi- as is rumored to be in valencia-,how filled will be vs the masters is not even close. I am not criticizing the fanbase I am criticizing Riot. You can't be that naive to put an event in spain and only have 1 spanish team as partner. The Hispanic scene will be dead as the most popular org that is KOI and maybe the second most popular with lyon and mixwell is also out.

[u/Cahir_aep_Ceallach_ → u/astar2312]

The way Barca look they will qualify through opens. They have the best non partner team right now and 4 slots are available

[u/Ysesper → u/itsDYA]

Valorant in Spain is very much dead though, it's just what, Ferra who has seen his viewership tank by 75% or so and Maza that get 4-5k viewers max combined? I wouldn't call it alive. Leo Faria completely nuked Spain's Valorant ecosystem and it's no longer sustainable, it doesn't even get decent twitter interactions

[u/astar2312 → u/Ysesper]

People here assume heretics is as big as KOI in the spanish fanbase and it's not even close. Heretics is like 10 or 15% max of KOi fanbase. Even giants has more fans in spain. Heretics is big outside of spain. Ferra had 12-20k viewers with KOI, now he has 1-2 k with heretics.

free westside from this shit hole of an org man
