Instead of giving the slot to the winner of Masters, just average out the placements of each region during the event. This way it rewards the region with the best teams who can actually place high. If this were to happen it would stop a weaker region from getting an extra slot of the backs of one team.
Thought?
widepeepofrosty [#3]watch out, shitmean dogs gonna attack you for speaking the truth
so you want riot to reward losers with extra slots?
strange_choc [#8]Yeah so we would see c9, sentinels in Champs. They choked to a team that got grouped in 0-2.
Slots are just not black and white.
True but with this it would help stop pointless posts of 1 team region while making masters placements mean more for every region
Canhoto_Imperialista [#9]Instead of giving slots to EMEA and China, we could give them to Oceania and Africa. I bet there are a lot of amazing talents out there that could surprise us even if they start out a little weak at first events!
That'd be unfair to the team who won and the region they belong to. Better yet just guarantee that the masters winners just get placed in playoffs since they deserve it and just allow more teams to participate in groups
Bizm0doe [#10]so you want riot to reward losers with extra slots?
I mean why should a region get a slot if 1 team is good while the others get grouped in the first round.
Arkentics [#13]I mean why should a region get a slot if 1 team is good while the others get grouped in the first round.
same thing would have happened if leviathan came instead of NAVI so its ok imo.

Maybe send the winner straight to playoffs, use the average placement of each region and give extra slots that way. So winner gets rewarded while the region who preforms the best can get more teams in for masters.
TmhariMummy [#16]Name 1 team that could have replaced any of the EMEA teams in the tournament and not bomb out like the EMEA team already did or maybe even harder
Choke9(Huge Maybe If They Win). But they point of this post is to find a fair way for slots so people will stop complaining about teams like FNC carrying in masters to get an extra slot.
Side Note- I don't mean to bash any region as they all of their ups and downs
Arkentics [#17]Maybe send the winner straight to playoffs, use the average placement of each region and give extra slots that way. So winner gets rewarded while the region who preforms the best can get more teams in for masters.
That's what I was thinking! Or RIOT could end this stupid franchise system and let any team in the world participate, like in CS. Instead of having only 16 teams at Champions, we could have 32! Or do something like a pre-major like CS:GO. This franchise system killed tier 2! So stupid! =/
SexualTeacher [#19]Extra slots are useless anyway, any region team ranked #4 or #5 is trash
I agree that extra slots are usless as the #1/#2 from each region are the only teams with a shot to win, but this stops slot complainers and rewards region placements at masters
Arkentics [#13]I mean why should a region get a slot if 1 team is good while the others get grouped in the first round.
you wouldn't have complained if the 5th region slot went to lev even tho they would've lost too
capital_d_colon [#2]There was no issue in the extra emea slot.
I dont know why people are downrating you. Giants and Navi were by far the best lcq teams and it would be unrealistic to think that other potential lcq teams from APAC and AM would do better.
Bizm0doe [#22]you wouldn't have complained if the 5th region slot went to lev even tho they would've lost too
I don't care what region gets what slot and Lev would have got washed if you replace them with any EU team. I just thought the whole region slot thing should just be based of performances than be off the backs of 1 team.
I would say the same thing if APAC/AMERICAS won Masters 1 while their whole region got grouped except the winner

Did we watch different versions of NaVi vs LOUD?
Keep in mind that NaVi is 5th seed and LOUD is 3rd

well fut is probs going through and giants have a decent chance 3/5 isn't that bad
but i see your point i kinda agree
Bizm0doe [#26]well fut is probs going through and giants have a decent chance 3/5 isn't that bad

Yeah FUT is most likely through unless T1 turns up. Glad that we had an open discussion with no toxicity :)
CryoZanderDerrekEnjoyer [#25]Did we watch different versions of NaVi vs LOUD?

To be fair NaVi is not a true 5 seed they just couldn't turn up when they needed to get a higher seed. This post is not about that though as its to come up with a fair way to give slots as it stops teams from carrying their region at Masters. Also to stop region baiting Ex) 1 TEAM REGION KEKW, China,Emea,Apac,etc slots

yeah idk why people are downrating I just want to have an open discussion with no region toxicity. Also their is no issue with the teams I just want a fair way for regions to get slots instead of 1 team carrying while the others at the event go 0-2 or 1-2 <3

I wouldn't be surprised if the "extra slot" just went to china.
Average placement does sound good until you start considering the weight of each placement ,the effect of seeding and the amount of teams that goes to each event.

I can't imagine that riot doesn't know how to use computers to find which region did the best with certain parameters. You can do that in an excel spread sheet if you really wanted
NioMS [#7]I mean Americas would've send Krü and Lev and both would've gotten owned and don't even bother about Pacific since we all saw what happened with their 4th seed.
Navi is the best 5th seed in the entire world without a single doubt and Giants is the best 4th seed in the entire world as well!
Americas would have sent C9 as #5 based of the placements of Masters (Even though they probably go 0-2). But why should a team like NaVi or any other potential #5 get in because of 1 team vs multiple teams doing good (Proving their region deserves the slot)
Idk just my take on the #5 slot for Masters
