Riot doesn t care about results Valorant community in shock as FPX fails to secure VCT EMEA partnership

By Amitesh Dhar Modified 22 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share FPX won't be seen in the upcoming VCT 2023 tournament (Image via Riot Games) FunPlus Phoenix (FPX), a popular team from the EMEA region, wasn't selected for the Valorant partnership, to the dismay of their entire fanbase. Riot Games finally announced the names of the teams participating in the VCT 2023 tournament. Out of the 30 teams, 10 will represent the EMEA region in the tournament. As a team, despite a lot of obstacles, FPX managed to put up a stellar performance throughout 2022. The team won the Masters Stage 2: Copenhagen as well. While some popular teams bagged a spot, many lost out, upsetting respective fanbases. Disgruntled fans flocked to Twitter to express their disappointment about FPX not making the cut.

Fans are confused about FPX being left out of the VCT EMEA partnership

They further stated that they would focus on taking care of their players shortly. They further went on to express their gratitude for all the love and support that they've received from the community over the years. The community responded in kind, showing solidarity towards the organization.

They were somewhat concerned about the image and popularity of the team. Other fans also pointed out that their results were better when compared to some of the other teams that were picked.

Prathades@Nevillenathana1@FPX_Esports What people don't get is.

Riot doesn't really care about the merits of the player since they can just get picked up by the org that do make it. However, some fans were still concerned about the fate of popular teams like OpTic Gaming, who didn't cut either. While players can be picked and transferred, the team's fate remains in question. Many also expressed their displeasure with the show of esports politics at such a high level. Danggg@SilverGrinderr@FPX_Esports So teams like optic and fpx,... They can't compete in valorant anymore? What will happen to the players and orgs?@FPX_Esports So teams like optic and fpx,... They can't compete in valorant anymore? What will happen to the players and orgs? Oli Adams@imperial_potts@FPX_Esports Sad to see esports politics at this level. Sorry to hear this news!13@FPX_Esports Sad to see esports politics at this level. Sorry to hear this news! Some individuals called the overall ruling a disgrace because, according to the community, FPX was the best team in the EMEA region, and they deserved a spot in the VCT 2023 tournament. staticz@staticzthegod@Aon1r @FPX_Esports there is orgs that havent even qualifed for prev LANs that are accepted its mad26@Aon1r @FPX_Esports there is orgs that havent even qualifed for prev LANs that are accepted its mad Jeanettan@Jeanettan4@FPX_Esports So ...its not about how good palyers or team you have? Its how good ? Rich? The org behind is ?

I dont get it.

These guys practically manage everyting bythemselves without a huge staff surronding them ( unfortunatley)
This is one of the worlds best teams.

Indeed, FPX has given the community some insane matches in the previous tournaments. The team won two tournaments this year, the VCT EMEA Stage 1 Challengers and the VCT Stage 2 Masters. It is slightly odd that Riot Games chose to keep FPX out of the upcoming seasons. There's still a chance that the fans might be able to see their favorite players in action, provided some other teams acquire the players from the roster for the upcoming season. What happens from here on is very unclear, and fans will have to wait and watch how things pan out. The transfer window is supposed to begin in October, so it will be interesting to see if there are any major changes to the rosters of the qualified teams.
