wtf is this
https://www.vlr.gg/event/2316/challengers-league-2025-emea-1
they'll have 2 in stage 2
since MENA hasn't even started yet
is there a reason they've just not btw?
idk tbh
similar with VCL SA, qualifiers are only starting now
i genuinely dont understand the EMEA challengers format this year
is it not the best teams from each subregion qualify to one big ascension tournament at the end? what is this
yeah you're right, but this isn't ascension
I think the best way to think of it would be a tier 2 EMEA 'Masters' tournament. Then think of Ascension as a 'Champions'
memea has unfair advantage in slots even in GC. Brazil with Team Liquid and MIBR, both better than G2 Gozen and only have one slot.
1 slot is enough for your entire existence and history
