Masters slots | VLR.gg

I think masters needs more slots per region, regions now are so competitive, and 3 doesnt feel like alot considering ascension over time has added a fair few teams to every region, and that the general quality of teams is increasing (imo)

For example;
In APAC, teams like T1, BOOM, DRX, GenG, RRQ, Nongshim, Talon (and maybe PRX) are all capable of making it and I wouldnt be TOO SHOCKED that they did
In EMEA, I would say Fnatic, Heretics, Vit, Liquid and Maybe FUT/KC are all good enough to compete at least somewhat for the weaker of them
In Americas, KRU, 100 Thieves, SEN, G2, C9, and MIBR are all playing really well and have a REALLY solid chance at doing something or other
In CN you ofc have EDG, but right now certain teams like Xi Lai, BLG, Trace, and TEC are all quite close, Wolves been decent, DRG and FPX not awful (though the region definitely lacks in some ideas, and is heavily aim focused atm)

Idk, I think more slots is a positive in many ways, I also think Champs should inevitavbly gain more too to make it more of a big event.

it used to be that 3/10 would go to Masters, and 4/10 would go to Champs tho (2023), as the amount of teams increases I think the slots should too provided teams get more and more competitive, thats just my outlook on it, since 4/12 at Masters and 5/12 at champs would be roughly the same ratio as when they first started it, all preference though either way

less slots makes it more competitive no? there are more good teams so we only see the best of the best plays while the slightly worse teams who didnt make it improve during masters and comeback in stage 2

Yeah I mean I agree that you can view it that way, theres positives and negatives, I personally just wanna see more variation, it would add a bit of unpredictability too imo which I kinda just like, I understand its completely preference related, for me regions like APAC are just so close at the top that its hard to leave so many teams out that could do well in some of the tournaments (as well as giving potentially new teams a LAN experience)

Riot just needs to find a way they like cause If it would up to us fans they would play so many games and if it were up to org they would play fewer and they just need to sit down and chat and find what works for both of them cause ever 3 weeks I hear someone they need to play more games and then another team goes they need more breaks.
