incidmoir [#2]its 2 per region lol
Implying we should just keep it 3 teams per region. 8 teams playoffs is total boring.
Lidire [#4]NRG still being mentioned LMAO they boutta be cooked by whoever loses SENvG2 match, if they even reach lower bracket final
G2 will destroy SEN, and SEN has been destroyed by NRG couple times in the offseason. It's still highly possible. Zekken won't 1v5 again like he did with LOUD, trust.

so c9>nrg>sen?
cyk [#7]When I see TL on the list, for the first time i think 8 team master isnt that bad
Should be FNC but they can't win anything with Botster and Trashies together :(

why? every match is hype during m1, very few blowouts
last year i remember DRG made the 12 team masters, they got obliterated and iirc didn't win a single map

We should remove CHINA as a region and replace it with KOREA instead. China and APAC teams should be together to be FAIRLY honest.

The quality of CN is a heck of a lot better this year, though. It'd be EDG TE BLG going in this case, and BLG genuinely look alright even if they're not as good as the other two

We should remove EUROPE as a region and replace it with BRAZIL instead since europe is so dog shit

EDG and Trace are definitely at the level to compete, especially for an 8 team masters this is perfect for CN

No shit sherlock the others are all trash teams is the point.

I think even DFM looks better than BLG though. Any 3rd 4th 5th team from APAC can beat 3rd place from China. Just my opinion.

Yup, I think at this stage the 3rd seed from CN will still be the weakest contenders in most scenarios. But the point here is that any team that qualifies can realistically put up a fight—BLG could definitely make other teams struggle, and that's not something that was especially true of DRG last year

it's gonna be so funny when NRG get beat down today

lowkey XLG > BLG
229fn [#19]lowkey XLG > BLG
I agree. And also KC > TL and 100T > KRU. It's just an unfortunate fact about this bracket... teams that should've gone further than others won't simply because of who they're put against
