Its sad to see that EMEA won't be able to send Guild or M3C and fluke teams like Xset and Guard gonna make it
Marty [#3]why cant they send m3c? There still lcq no? I agree on xset not being good, but the guard aint winning lcq im telling you that
Guild or M3C will be out coz only 1 gonna make it
SavageTruth [#6]Guild or M3C will be out coz only 1 gonna make it
oh i get it now. probably guild tbh, russ not cutting it and m3c might get jady which would be big
SavageTruth [#6]Guild or M3C will be out coz only 1 gonna make it
or even both could be out if Liquid or G2 have a fluke run
Marty [#7]oh i get it now. probably guild tbh, russ not cutting it and m3c might get jady which would be big
thats why NA shouldn't have 2 slots + LCQ
EMEA 3 slots + LCQ is the right decision since Optic is the only one that can provide some challenge to the rest of the world.
Heyheyehyehyehyrhyr [#8]or even both could be out if Liquid or G2 have a fluke run
PLZ GOD DON'T ALLOW THIS
NG1nS [#12]the slot distribution is insanely bad APAC 6 and BR or LATAM could have 3 slots like NA and EMEA
just complete madness
NA sucks, so they deserve less
sad_gambit_fan [#14]fnc = made both lans , had shit iceland cuz of subs , top 4 in this
fpx = would have won last lan or atleast top 3 , and top 2 in this
xset = didnt make stage 1 , 0-2 in playoffs ,would have gotten grouped by kru/ loud
optic = won last event , top 3 this event (deserved)xDDD nice one riot
NA 1 team region?
SavageTruth [#15]NA 1 team region?
na is a 1 team region ,
im not saying dont give na 2 slots
but giving only 2 slots to emea is just stupid
SavageTruth [#9]thats why NA shouldn't have 2 slots + LCQ
EMEA 3 slots + LCQ is the right decision since Optic is the only one that can provide some challenge to the rest of the world.
It's a bit disingenuous to argue against NA's third seed. They have won a few Masters thus far, and is clearly a frontrunner. Even APAC has 3 seeds.
The obvious place to cut 1 seed from is LATAM/BR LCQ. There's no reason why South America should have 4 seeds in total (other than Riot wanting to pander).

NA isn't the problem, it's APAC having 6 slots

wdym apac has six?
dont they have 2 and 1 lcq?

You dumb bro. Eu is sending 3 to champs, same as NA
X_ae_A_12 [#26]You dumb bro. Eu is sending 3 to champs, same as NA
Clearly shouldn't be the same since only Optic can do something nowadays

LOUD, KRU and Leviathan did more than any other NA teams besides Optic. Even Nip won a match, but Xset and Guard just got 0-2'ed

Keep sucking NA dick. Maybe they accept you

Oh you already sucking their dick irl? I'm so happy that they accepted you.

Just a matter of form. Previously, you can argue the same for APAC, yet they are getting to finals this time.
SA also flopped Master 2 Berlin last year, every single NA seed placed better than them.
The real reason is that Riot thought BR has the potential to produce a contender, due to their FPS foundations in CSGO. Turns out Riot doesn't have to pander so hard after all, regions are very balanced in this game.
BR/Latam has less than 1/3 the playerbase of EMEA, even putting the NA question aside, they don't deserve more seeds than EMEA, period.

Shut up dog let the kid support whoever he wants

TL is coming with massive surprise new player and a W coach just w8
I've seen very few more stupid comments like this
There is a reason why there are different regions, the NA teams you mentioned are the ones that competed in a different region and deserved to come to Istanbul, and the other teams are the teams that are not even in the top 2 in their own regions.
I think there should have been 16 EMEA teams in Champions xD
SavageTruth [#30]LOUD, KRU and Leviathan did more than any other NA teams besides Optic. Even Nip won a match, but Xset and Guard just got 0-2'ed
XSET got beat by Optic which is their own region, and Levitan when they clearly threw the last 2 maps countless times.
XSET is clearly at Leviathans level if you watched that match and Optic has struggles in their own region so I think NA is deserving of having that spot.
LOUD, KRU, LEVIATHAN, and NIP are only teams in those regions. There is no competitive play at all, will be same teams always.
NA and EU always have different representatives cause they are the biggest with 7 competitive teams in each at least.
qwertyiop [#2]guard wont make it, SEN will
how is SEN making it.
How do they have so many points?
or you just assuming they gonna win LCQ lol
