Valorant: Controversy with the next competitive season due to a Riot and LVP decision

Fans of the competitive scene of Valorant received very good news regarding the future of the professional environment of the Tactical Shooter of Riot Games. Those in charge of the ESPORTS section have prepared important changes to the format that have been very well-received by the community and that they promised to do much more interesting the course of next year. However, one of the great novelties about the regional leagues has ended up being disappointing due to a strange decision taken by Riot Games and LAP, who will organize the joint league that will group Spain, Italy and Portugal.

Riot and LAP close the door to the sporting merit in Valorant

The problem with respect to this new competition organized by the LAP is that Nine of the ten teams that will participate in it will do so thanks to a direct invitation after having been selected from their professional ecosystem. In this way, the sporting merit will only decide the last club that will complete the list of participants. A hole that will force those interested to exceed an open classification and subsequently be measured at four sets also preselected to participate directly at the closed stage of the tournament to acquire the position.

In addition to this information, some professionals in the sector have confirmed that the invited clubs would have an immense majority of Spanish sets. A situation that, knowing that the league should also include Portuguese and Italian teams, does not seem too understandable. Tiago Mombasa Rodrigues, VALORANT coach of the Saw team (one of the most important in Portugal) has also confirmed the situation by answering the initial complaint of Lucas Red. The EX of G2 ESPORTS was even a step further ensuring that he would be furious in case of being seen to be harmed as they, in reference to the clubs of the other League countries.

The competitive disadvantage when being placed in the long term will become practically assumable for non-guest clubs close the incorporation of great players. This is added the fact that there will be a maximum of a decrease that will depend on the results of the radiant league clubs, second national category of the competitive system of Valorant. A start that does not look like the fans would have desired and that it turns a gray that seems to be the year of consecration of the professional scene.
