NA only got 3 slots on Berlin?

Why do North America only got 3 slots in Masters Berlin whilst EMEA got 4? is it becase Europe are the host? wasnt NA won the Reykjavik?

They were predetermined at the start of VCT, so it's difficult for them to change it based on region performance this year since it forces tournament organizers to rethink their format on the fly (at least this is what I think)

Na would only have 2 slots if SEN wouldn't have won.
Also, EMEA contains more like (Europe, Middle East and Africa)
and not because they are the host kekw.

What are you talking about....? NA had 3 slots no matter who won Iceland. The winner of Berlin adds an extra slot for their region in Champions which is at the end of the year

1. They were predetermined before NA won Iceland
2. EMEA has 7 times the population of NA
3. Europe has a much more successful history in esports than NA

EMEA contains EU, TR, CIS, how much more do we need to explain this?

NA having 3 slots is perfectly fair. EMEA has 3 regions which is why they deserve 4 slots.

+

meanwhile India doesnt even have one Sadge

Maybe because EMEA is a much bigger region than NA?

Too many times apparently.

And to clarify Im saying fair regarding the current slot distribution we have for Berlin. If it was my choice I would take one from Japan and SEA and give them to EMEA an NA.

I was pretty sure they had only 2 slots and then SEN won so they had +1. Na teams wefe thanking SEN for that and stuff. But I might be wrong tho. It was a long time ago. If that's the case then my bad, I apologise.

Success does not have to do anything with it. The only reason is the population and the EMEA contains different subregions (Europe, CIS, TUR)

Its all good, your think about Champions (which is at the end of the year). Berlin is the last masters before Champions and who ever wins Berlin automatically qualifies for Champions, therefore giving their region an extra slot in Champions.

Point 2 and 3 are irrelevant. India has 1.5 billion people, why don't they have 3 spots in Berlin? 1 is the only logical point.

Emea is not just Europe

India were probably not introduced into the circuit early enough so they just couldn't incorporate them without messing shit up. That's the reason why they only added them in the LCQ. It was the only way to make them possible to join the VCT without making everything a mess to organize and do.
Also EMEA is bigger than NA. It simply is a fact so EMEA should have more slots than NA. In fact they should probably have double since they contain 3 regions.

since eu includes cis turkey and europe and has a population of 1billion shouldnt india also get 4 slots for its population of 1.2billion seems like double standards

because the amount of teams in EMEA exceeds NA by 5-6x
and it's 3 regions combined

Hello? NA 1 region, EMEA 3 regions (EU, TR, CIS) Could u think a bit?

Since the beginning if we think about that NA has more slots than EU because 2 EU, 1 TR, 1 CIS. Thats the distribution if u see the EMEA Playoffs Slots.
