Pacific advantage at champs

Pacific once again smart asf

They get extra time to prep and they don't even have to travel or anything just chill and watch their opponents

Would be surprised if Pacific doesn't dominate the group stages

Once again

EMEA and Americas need to step up

it's riot who did that, not pacific as a region

I am pretty sure regions by themselves decide how to manage their schedule

this is why champs 2025 should be in mongolia surrounded by some tribes in a broken stadium held together by vines and a gift from an ancient diety

every region chooses the starting time of their Split by their own will

Proof?

I've always assumed that it's because China and Pacific have similar time zones, so matches would overlap. By doing it this way, both playoffs are seperate and don't overlap.

Pacific has always been this way even before China was officially added. And China’s games overlap Pacific’s anyway. Including playoffs.

Stage 2 Grand Final in order:

China GF (20 July)
EMEA GF (21 July, 7 hours after EMEA)
Pacific GF (21 July, 16 hours after EMEA)
Americas GF (22nd July, 13 hours after Pacific)

Champs starting from Aug 2 onwards.
I don’t see the “advantage” you’re talking of when it’s within 1-2 days lol. (Don’t talk things out of ur ahh to instigate).
The only difference is the regions’ scheduling between their Stage 2 Upper Final and Grand-Final (Pacific has 1 week break in-between).
But that has nothing to do with how Champs will play out.
As for travelling, teams always need to travel, don’t be dumb.
