Toronto

Is 2nd master of the year bigger and more important or prestigious than first master. Also someone said winning masters even the first master is as hard as winning champs. Do you agree?
Also what's your early prediction for Toronto winners?
I think drx is winning Toronto or at least champs this year.

honestly yea, the format to get to the first event is brutal asf n youre immediately put up against international competition thats miles better than regional competition you js got done playin against. then theres also factors like jet lag n allat so if not as hard as winning champs, close to it

I think Riot designed it to be: Champions > Masters 2 > Masters 1
But I think it would be better if Masters 1 = Masters 2

My completely unbiased pred for Toronto winner is: MIBR!

champs > masters 2 >= masters 1

Well tbh those points all apply to champs as well no? And I think lots of teams aren't stable yet in kickoff which helps top teams a lot for qualification to masters. And champs has 16 teams and way more games needed to win. So I think champs is lot harder to win. Master 2 on the other hand is more closer to champs in difficulty to win in my opinion.

Aspas masterclass

masters 2 gives more champs point so that could be pretty beneficial to some teams

Definitely. Teams aren’t comfortable enough in kickoffs split 1 into masters 2 is when teams start to really gain their footing.
