A lot of Valorant pros seem to hate the newly announced format for the VCT Last Chance Qualifier for Champs, with basically the entire 100 Thieves roster and Nadeshot speaking out against the single elimination brackets.
Riot just revealed the new brackets for the VCT Last Chance Qualifier for Valorant Champions, and the initial response from a lot of pros and nearly all of 100 Thieves was “we hate this format, change it”.
Riot has made the first two rounds of the LCQ single elimination, so all ten teams have a chance to go home and lose their shot at Valorant Champions after losing a single round. Nadeshot spoke out against this new LCQ format, calling it a head scratcher, before deleting his tweet. Other 100 Thieves members also took shots at the strange format.
100 Thieves Asuna called the LCQ format bad, nitr0 said no LAN event should ever be single elimination, and Hiko responded that he was definitely not a fan of the single elimination format. So with dozens of players and one of the best known teams in pro Valorant hating on the LCQ format, will Riot make changes like they did with Berlin Masters? If so, they only have a few days left to pull the trigger.

idk bro those AU teams would never stand a chance anyway so 🤷
just 100T? lol
Does anyone else think that Valorant just tweaks and changes the rules to their own liking? Smells of backdoor deals
this is absolute trash
I really listened this episode……Jake Lucky's speaking. He is very good! New nickname from me is One take Jake. Keep it up!
dude, what is this format lmao
I dont understand the problem? These are the best of best teams in NA this is no different from playoffs in sports for example.
everyone*
Do a video on Z how he got a modder to kill a streamer
damn riot straight fuckin up again!
Australian teams got screwed the most out of this. Such a terrible format. Should be the play in stage as single elim and everything else double elim. Every team hates this format not just 100T
Anything on Zlaner calling in a hacker to kill a player he falsely accused of stream sniping?
This is a Fake News show❗️
This dude Jake lies just like CNN.
You guys have to see BadBoy Beaman’s video on him. It’s great and catches him in a bunch of lies!
Also, he wants to call out BBB for riding coattails when that’s all this dude does. That’s all this show is. It’s the Entertainment Tonight fake people kissing trendy Hollywood butt.
It’s like the E channel talk soup.
This guy Jake has called out cheaters many of times. That’s how I know what this show is. He also always talked about Nick and Tim calling out Swagg and Symphaggy for cheating.
Hypocrite Fake News!
Yo Esports Talk, how about Jurome22 and streamers boosting?
Another sh!t take every team is
p!$$ed with this. But you are in the quid pro quo shill game
Bad title
Wow
Cover Zbag and the guys calling in Juhrome to kill people
21 days of quarantine. I'm surprised at this point Australia even lets people out of their country with how insanely controlling it is over there.
Nade definitely deleted that tweet because he said "1 map" when it's actually a bo3 at least. Best of 1, single elimination would have been insanity.
Jake jake where’s the video where a hacker helped your boy z
bro its just bull shit what fkin hiko and the other says ur fkin talking about other teams and u dont careeeeeeeee literally u wanna beat them ad qualify u dont care aabout them u just wanna qualify ur sayin that teams single elimination bc u are fkin afraid from the other teams bc the best team wins after all so lets see what will happen
i like 100t but maybe they shoulda made finals in other tourneys
Single elim is fine. You only complain if you think you can't win without luck or being able to wear others down. Bring your a game and play your best. If you lose then you aren't fit to continue.
It's a "last chance qualifiers", aside from the Australian teams I don't feel bad for the others. They had Masters 1,2,3 to get points and they shouldn't place all their hopes on the LCQ
pretty trash format honestly. they could have done something more that just a single one and done and if you lose go home, thats trash. its like round robins are not a thing or best of 3 or best of 5 and so forth like their is a lot of better options.
Great he are going to have to listen to nadeshot cry agian
OneTakeJake
I also think single elim is worse than double elim for building story narratives that'll keep the most viewers invested in watching a tourney till the end. Berlin had it's most exciting matches in groups and the grand finals just felt kind of empty compared to Iceland's Masters 2 finals where we got to watch the 2 teams that made it there go through separate journeys
Even the Challengers LAN format imo was bad.
The #1 seed has the hardest matchup lol
What's so hard about a double Elim all the way???
Just fucking copy paste the Iceland format BOOM DONE!
You already made your homework, don't remake it if it works
Esports Talk with another L showing the reaction and not discussing any possible reasons as to 'why', Looks like it was venue booking issues forcing a shorter format, which is different from the Berlin situation since they can't as easily pivot to a tangential format easily given the limited time. If you're gonna report on esports at least go beyond reading tweets and reddit posts my guy, it's so superficial and why your channel is sinking.
i live in australia but im not on a team
What's crazy is that everyone is also pissed at the format, not just 100 Thieves. And if Riot refuses to make changes, they are basically punishing them with a possible chance of best of 1, solo players only. Nonsense I know.
But in all seriousness, the way Riot is punishing everyone by a format is throwing everyone under the bus just so they can milk more money out of them. And what i wanna know is… What is Riot's motive on punishing the teams with a single elimination format?
Oof
