EDG

Bro...there's no shot that EDG isn't apart of the top three teams in VCT China. In some context, EDG has single handedly been the best team in China for at least a year, toppling over every team. They just won the three acts of the Chinese tournament that happened. Back to back to back, and went to Champions 2022, LOCK//IN, Masters Tokyo AND THEN champions 2023, however, that's not enough to have them in the top three of VCT Chinese teams that have already qualified. So, lets take a look back and see what achievements FPX has in China. FPX has, wait hold on, a 13th-16th place at champions 2023? Okay, well at least it cant get worse, lets look at bilibili. Ah, see, Bilibili, top eight in Champions 2023 with no other achievements, okay, now lets look at the last team, JD gaming, surely it'll be better, right? NOTHING, F***ING NOTHING. THEYVE WON A TOTAL OF 694$, THE MATH DOESNT MATH. HOW DO YOU LET A TEAM WITH NO ACHIEVMENTS INTO VCT, THIS SOUNDS LIKE SOME NA SHIT. We all know how XSet and OpTic were robbed, we all know how FPX was robbed, so why tf does it keep happening? So, as I calm my tone, someone please help me explain why EDG being arguably the best team in China and one of the best teams in the world not have a top three spot in VCT china?

If achievements mattered OpTic would be in franchising. It's based on financial stability, fan base, good management, etc.

being the best team in china means the same thing as being the best team in somalia. absolutely nothing. bunch of awp frauds who were exposed at afreeca by the 3rd worst EU team xD

its based on three aspects.

1. How good you were at the game/esports (competitiveness)
2. Fanbase
3. Money/financially

relax 10th annouced or 1st annouced, all the same thing

Riot has already decided what the 10 teams will be but they haven't told the public yet. Most likely they will tell us three new orgs a day
