i feel bad for the likes of leviatan and 100T who literally have international experience and did good
100T are ass now, its better if they dont qualify to save themselves from embarassment.
C9 have a good amt of LAN exp. + they're strong af so I hope they qualify
Lost of teams who would have a more entertaining run then emea
C9
SEN
KRU
GenG
Zeta
DFM
Furia
MiBr
The Guard
The Union
M80
Fusion
Team Liquid Female
Loud GC
its gonna be heretics and benjyfishy is gonna clear everyone on the server (in groups)
I think no matter what region the extra slot team will not do well
They are getting 0-2 straight to airport
nah some america's teams have experience like c9, 100T, LEV and surprisingly did good at international and pacific have secret/zeta
EMEA only have fnatic, liquid, navi and more likely they're getting another free spot
so teams with no international experience should just not be making it to internationals? thats like franchising on steroids to u work for rito games by any chance
if i work for riot i'll definitely get rid for the extra spot region winner. wasted for emea
More EMEA teams means deeper runs for Americas and APAC teams, they’ll have the warmup against those range bots in groups / first round matches
Its so cute to watch all you minor regions to come together to battle the big bad wolf EU 😸
Fnatic winning will ever so slightly increase the chance of the GOAT team karmine corp qualifying for champions and if EG wins I can remain the happy NA frog that I am. I like to look at the positives of both situations. : )
Acting like the other regions would provide much better 5 teams. For Americas I kind of get it, but Pacific wouldn't do shit with extra spot. NaVi's roster is still really good and proven. They are just going through same fiasco as they did back in 2021. If they just stick to normal comps they would be a contender team. They are on C9 type of level and arguably have higher potential. And Giants(most likely to make it as 5th) aren't terrible. Their roster is pretty good, but just bit incosistent. Saying that 5th from Americas and especially Pacific would be much better is just wrong IMO. Again for Americas maybe, but it wouldn't be massive especially when people mention teams like 100T and SEN. FUT underperformed in Tokyo and looked shaky compared to their VCT EMEA form.
