BBL-Cyber Skull Esports only group match is played.
Despite this, 80k instant viewers are increasing and this is an incredible number.
Estiggma [#3]another reason to add more slots for master2, imagine losing 80k pontential viewers because bbl didn't qualify
now it has reached 90k also in the final match + 100k for sure

facts, KR and TR need another slot
Olofboost [#4]Holy shit they should consider stealing 1 SEA Champions slot and giving it to Turkey/CIS. Also increase the amount of Masters teams from 10 to 12, adding 1 to NA and 1 to Turkey/CIS.
better solution is to just add more slots and make the event bigger rather than take away existing ones
pampire [#8]Now, imagine BBL vs gamelanders or sentinels.
Russz vs. Mwzera vs. TenZ(xd)
Valorantian Standoff?
can10combr [#10]It's a predictable number. You know what is another predictable number? If BBL hits Masters 2, it will be over 200k+ only from Turkish side. Wanna see that so badly.
Issue is that BBL isn't going to Masters 2... so Riot just stifling viewership with the bad slots distribution
Salvezza [#12]Riot gave 2 slots to EMEA regions and 2 slots to Brazil, I hope you are aware of what you are losing.
Brazil deserves 2 slots. EMEA deserves more but the minimum you can give Brazil is 2.

16 is a kinda traditional number for hosting a final event of the year. You can make 4 groups per 4 teams, then 2 best from each group advance to double elim playoffs etc...
If Riot make Champions 18 or 20 teams the tournament format won't be so smooth like I mentioned before.
My solution is to reduce SEA slots from 2 to 1. Zero viewers, zero competition, zero skills yet these bots will rob some decent NA or EMEA team from attending a tourney.

True.

Masters 2 is 10 teams, not 16.
And two of the three biggest sports events in the world are 32 teams in 8 groups.

ph + indonesia + thai get lots of views
thothgow [#21]BBL can't beat forZe, let alone FPX/NIP/Heretics
OK, you already don't know anything.

Dude what's wrong with you, I said final event of the year, of course I mean Champions not Masters 2.
32 teams? It's too much. Nobody in esports makes that number.
can10combr [#23]OK, you already don't know anything.
wait, you unironically think BBL is top 2 in EMEA?
thothgow [#14]Brazil deserves 2 slots. EMEA deserves more but the minimum you can give Brazil is 2.
I did not say that Brazil did not deserve it; I stated that I found it very wrong to give 2 slots to the EMEA region while Brazil was given 2 slots. The Brazilian region is a region that has trained good players and teams for FPS games.
thothgow [#25]wait, you unironically think BBL is top 2 in EMEA?
you didn't watch any of their games, did you?
thothgow [#25]wait, you unironically think BBL is top 2 in EMEA?
1- They don't need to be top 2 to get one of that 2 spots.
2- They are not too much behind the best teams like Heretics or NiP. In scrims the games are on BBLs side according to leaks.
3- "BBL can't beat forZe" My comment was for that especailly. Did you ever watch any of both teams? Because I don't think you did. forZe can't beat any of top 4 Turkish teams with current form. Moreover, they were almost out of Masters 1. That's why I said you have no idea what you are talking about.
Still, it is very very hard to have that spot but man, you can't talk like they are some underdogs. They are one of the favorite teams I guarantee.
PussyJett [#30]turkish Valorant is going to be like turkish football. a lot of fans but bad players that doesnt deserve this much fans. :D
Top 15 3 Turkish Team,Top 40 1 German Team unlucky :(((((

supernova [#18]The truth is that the Iceland Masters should have 16 teams.
3 NA
3 EU
3 BR
2 KR
1 CIS
1 JP
1 TR
1 SEA
1 LATAM
4 EU
2 BR
2 is enough for Brazil and EU needs 4 ( you cant compare EU with Brazil atm, EU have a lot of big orgs and Brazil have only 4 good teams ) If Brazil do well at worlds RIOT can think about It.

Indonesia got almost 150 k during the finals of first strike on YT.. just because YOU didn't watch it, it doesn't mean that SEA has zero viewers, zero competition, and zero skills. 16 is enough 4 for EU 4 NA 2 BR 1 KR 1 JPN 2 SEA 2 CIS 1 AUS 1 LATAM

wdym bad players, turkish players are some of the best players out there right now.

Those numbers add up to 18 and SEA doesn't deserve 2 slots. Take 1 away from SEA, 1 from CIS and give that 1 to TR and then take away 1 from EU and then you have 16 with all the competitive regions and 16 teams for a good format. I'm not saying SEA is bad or anything but there's no reason that they should deserve 2 slots over any of the other regions that only have 1.

I looked at the ranking and couldn't see any German team or a good German player. STFU underdog country.

By its logic then there should be 4 NA teams then, since there are many more big orgs and viewers than in Europe.

I think it should be 2 slots for BR and 1 slot for AU to include all the competitive regions.
