It's exactly the opposite lmfao, in case FPX win Liquid (which is most likely to happen).

FNC get either bind or icebox pretty freely, then ascent and haven are both probably 50/50 therefore 2-1 FNC #GetYourBoastees xd

What is with Lothar this game? Normally, I give the casters a pass cause casting is definitely a tough task but it really took the enjoyment out of this game for me...

I really don't think he knows what he is talking about alot of the time, also I dislike most casters if tournaments offered a secondary stream with just ingame sound and no casting I would 90% of the time rather watch that stream

Yeah, I guess some would prefer watching it that way. I do think the Pansy and Hypoc casting duo is very good though.

His analysis is fine(although a bit long-winded). But the problem is the fact that they coupled 2 analytical casters. Lothar would be totally fine with a hype-caster, like Uber carrying him in the intense moments.

A very bittersweet win for Fnatic... They have to go against FPX.

This is exactly why this type of GSL tournament structure is not appropriate for qualifiers. It's fantastic for actual tournaments. But for qualifiers in a game where antistratting and prep play a significant role, it's garbage. The only fix is a finals losers bracket, but I guess that's too many resources(?).

It's actually insane. Considering fantastic teams like Acend, Heretics & BDS got knocked on single elim and Turkey gets 3 slots.

I mean it's easy to say, that the format is fucked knowing the outcome post hoc and knowing the actual region diff, but still. If EU wins Iceland regardless of all that, there is no doubt in my mind, that EU is easily the strongest region.

Even if there was no TR slots, whole EU would have only 2 seed anyway, i dont know how people doesnt get it lul, if TR had 1 slot instead part of EU, probably everything would be okay ..

This isn't to say Turkey doesn't deserve a shot. What I am saying; is that there should've been something in the other EU challengers, for example losers brackets(like in NA) instead of single elim so the best quality EU teams would've been chosen for challengers finals. The Turkey comment is in reference to the region diff, that is apparent only after the regions vs each-other, not much Riot can do for that.

Single elim is just too brutal in such a strong region, when there are only 4 slots for EU in challengers finals. On the other hand NA gets losers brackets on EVERY challengers + challengers finals + they don't have to compete against any other region + they get the same amount of slots.

And in this GSL format, if either top 1/2 team loses for some reason, they get placed against each-other in single elim, which is what happened. And then the top 3/4 teams get placed against each-other. The outcome is poor selection.

Then i agree with you but your sentence looking like elimination of other top EU teams, is fault of TR teams .. Like you said, for some reason riot is not very interested with EMEA regions, i mean whole qualifies looking like a formality, seems like they just want to make a qualift as quick as possible and go !! Just like NA does they should keep going with this 2nd part streaming ( like nerdstreets) and lower bracket matches must come too

it's not about strength of teams. Dunno why but riot wants to keep tr, cis and eu separate for the most part which is actually genius from a marketing perspective. Allows storylines to grow and stuff.

I understand the incentive to keep the regions separate to maximize potential viewership, it's good for the scene. The only problem I have is the way the format plays out when you combine the regions & the way EU was handled in general.
