reason I'm not opposed to more events in Europe is because of time zones.

I'd actually be really down for a Champs in London.

I really hope you're joking lmao

I want Riot to get a little funky with the locations next year. This year we had/will have Madrid, Shanghai, and Seoul.

Masters 1: Want this in APAC that doesn't include Korea.
-Masters Singapore would be cool. Would be my #1 choice
-Masters in Australia, ideally in Sydney. Host it at the same IEM Sydney event for CS.
-Masters Jakarta?

Masters 2: I want this to be in NA for sure. By this point, it'd be 4 events in a row without an event in NA, and we've only held 1 so far (LA Champs)
-Masters New York City (Madison Square Garden would be nuts)
-Masters Chicago
-Masters Toronto (imo, the best place to hold an event in Canada)
-Masters Mexico City for Mexico

Champs 2025:
-Maybe South America? Doesn't have to be Brazil. Argentina would be neat. Buenos Aires perhaps?
-Not opposed to Europe either. Think the best location would be Paris, France as Riot has a good track record with events held there.

Yeah I blame that on the Chinese more than anything. Their favorite teams are shitting the bed, then the whole place turns into a library.

Are you retarded? They're in the smaller studio crowd until Top 3 playoffs. Last 3 days are played at Mercedes-Benz Arena. though tbf, we don't know how good the larger Chinese crowd will be like.

I still think PRX are an insane team. They underestimated G2 heavily, but I think they steamroll EDG here. 2-0 PRX

I think GenG's experience at Madrid can bring them a long way here

You should add some more >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> between EMEA and China because China is truly some dogwater atm

Wow you had no faith in PRX lmao

2/4. Could've gotten 3/4, but I switched Fnatic and GenG last minute https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/1a1c3b15

Damn you're right. Split them up and give SA 1-2 spots or something

Meanwhile NA and SA have to fucking share

They can still have spots, but they don't deserve the SAME amount as the stronger regions. Let them have 3 spots at Champs and give the region with the winner of this tournament the extra spot.

Might be TH's revenge match, but I won't underestimate G2 again. For me, this is a coinflip match 50/50

This is why we need events at neutral locations like Australia. Those mfers in CS just cheer for anyone

They, at the least, deserve -1. Give that 1 spot to the region with the previous international winner

It's time to let go of VIT. It's not happening blud

Verno turned 18 in late April. He's probably sticking to OXY since they seem to be the favorites for Ascension.

They really shouldn't be importing. Plenty of Tier 2 NA players to choose from. Pati has options in EMEA

He for sure gets picked up.

G2 players have some insane mental. Swear sometimes they have terrible halves or maps, but they bounce back effortlessly.

There's just no way man

Relax my friend. The map just started

You may have jinxed it blud

nvm G2 threw lmao

Please stop choking

There's no way it can be any worse than FUT vs 100T right?

That's fucking hilarious. What a king

https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxyhzl8qEa2cD27INrePl1gA6W2gXQC2r4?si=jDKb_CXYypgRUvSU Shit had me dying

Nah that goes to Cryo murdering Boostio with Brim ult while he's Gekko ulting

That has to be the worst Raze ult of all time

And I thought TenZ had a terrible immune system

Their only wins were against Chinese teams. They literally lost to G2.

Very mature of you

CS:GO and League of Legends. Messed around with Rainbow6 for a bit as well

Good luck G2, you're gonna need it lol
2-0 PRX

TH are some lucky motherfuckers getting their 3rd Chinese team draw in the span of 4 games.

Blud nearly tossed it

Life bout to get anti'd SUPER hard.

Not because it would be funny if EMEA was sent packing (though that is 1 good reason). The main reason is because 100T picking FPX would be 10x more interesting than them picking G2.

100T simply because it would be funny if Boostio won in China. Otherwise, PRX

1. Default

DRG could do something funny here

PauseChamp

Well at least with TH, they have a decent excuse if they lose

This match up depends on one thing; are PRX coming from the upper or lower bracket?

I'd say DRX are historically pretty big chokers. They're known for doing extremely well in group stages and first round playoffs, but then falling apart in 2nd rounds and then falling apart in lowers. 5-6th at so many damn events.

It would honestly be so fucking funny if China wins a trophy first over Pacific. APAC would be in shambles. Would be more embarrassing than if Americas or EMEA won another trophy.

wtf is this post lmao
