If give regions smaller regions (like Japan and SEA) slots they will improve :3 I like the format riot has in league of legends in valorant where we get to see a variety of teams throughout the world instead of 1 or 2 regions like CS :3
I mean at Berlin, it seems that riot are being generous w/ SEA and Japan as they are getting one less slot than NA each. I think that next year slots will be reorganized based on playerbase and viewership but all established regions will keep at least 1 slot. So it might be like South Asia 1 slot, Japan 1 slot, SEA 1 slots, Korea 2 slots and give some to CIS/MENA/TR w/ EU seperate
Gambit, Navi, SMB, OXG, FF are better than all japanese teams will ever be. If they get a slot we should too.
Oh wait you forgot what happened at Iceland? KRU got owned by Fnatic more than they owned Futbolist. Does that mean #2 TR team (back then) >>>> entire LATAM region? I'm not even talking about Gambit who gave Fnatic a much tougher fight than KRU.
Weren't you the one that shat all over the fact that these smaller regions gets a slot over teams such as CIS and TR back in Masters 2? Like, I agree with the comments above too, dude. If they can't defeat the other EU teams then, tough luck. Not to discredit their effort, but with how the slots are set up, they can't all be winners. Hoping that Riot can change the format to better suit the many sub-regions, though.
Also PLEASE don't forget about regional differences in terms of context before you shit on their international performance. EU/TR/CIS is different than LATAM, as the case for other regions.
