This video is about Valorant Ascension, which is the Tier 2 system for Valorant in 2023. In the franchising system, which is the tier 1 and includes teams like sentinels, NRG, 100T, C9, Global Esports, Paper Rex and more, there are three international valorant leagues. In Ascension, there are more than 20 across Americas, EMEA and Pacific! These will feature teams like Disguised Toast's Valorant team, Sinatraa's new team (with Marved), The Guard, G2, Bleed, Boom and many more. It will be exciting to watch Valorant Ascension in 2023, alongside Valorant Masters and Champions!

    @@riko6831 the tier 1 teams are the top dog of the valorant eSports. They were picked by riot and will be paid good amount of money by riot to play in the league. They also won't be relegated for a while, meaning that if they didn't perform well during a year they can always try again next year for at least four years. And the tier 2 teams are teams from around the world aspiring and playing to get into the tier 1 scene. I think 🙂

    Honestly a great video, straightforward and to the point even though the system is confusing. One thing I would love to see from Riot is that they finally add a server for Africa because I always see the whole continent is included in EMEA but we have to play the game on 150-190ms. There is a place for Valorant here, and even LoL, it’s just so frustrating that after all these years we are still not included. Hopefully one day. Keep up the great work love from South Africa.

    I'm sure there are many people at Riot thinking about you guys and trying to make it happen. There must be a good reason they dont have it yet. I wish for it to happen, I have an African friend who I played a lot with and those games are just a vibe cause high pingers know they such a big disadvantage and you just play for fun. and it mostly is fun because you dont take the game too serious and laugh about the enemy losing to a high ping player, its like playing a whole different game with him, I wish they had african servers so I could join that server and experience what he is experiencing these past 2 years😂

They split into different teams when they moved over to Valo but only recently reunited. One familiar member of which is witz who played in Masters Berlin/Champions 2021. Nobody knows them but y'all will probably be hearing about them soon.
