Make a potential stage 1 playoffs for apac, if invited teams will look like this for a 10 team playoffs
- 2 South Asian teams (VCC)
- Full Sense, X10, Paper Rex, and Secret most likely are invited
- 1 Oceania team
- 3 SEA teams
nalinx [#2]i think 2 will be for OCE and 2 for qualifying teams for SEA
lpl said 1 oceania team qualifies every split
but 2 sea is probably more likely, i just took the stage 3 format
Grumsy [#4]its aldready done , APAC challenger playoffs : 4 invited SEA teams from Champs , Top 2 South Asian teams from VCC , Top 2 OCE teams from their qualifier , 2 SEA teams through qualifiers .
its 1 oce team, lpl confirmed it

SeulgiVLR [#5]its 1 oce team, lpl confirmed it
oh then maybe 3 Sea teams qualify for playoffs if its a 10 slot event , if its 8 slot 1 sea team thru qualifiers right?
ItsMeDio [#11]So, i think it will like this:
3 champs teams
2 SA teams
1 OCE teams
4 SEA teams?total 10 teams
i think all masters participants are invited, atleast thats what they did for brazil

4 invited just like they did for EMEA
UrNightmare [#13]I have never seen Oceania teams play. Any reviews on their playstyle?
They were considered tier 2 in NA.
bambamskrrt [#20]I think SEA itself should have their own direct slot to circuit, and the apac playoff should just consist of team from SA and OCE. SEA has proven enough that they deserve that direct slot for themselves.
doesnt matter , SEA will still be the strongest contender in APAC playoffs , with 4 invited teams from champs . And Riot may increase a slot for APAC region , it can be 3 slots .

yeah, the result will likely came out that way. but the chance of SA or OCE team to get their own representative to master will be low and imo that does not seem really good for their region development.

yea thats kinda bad but atleast SA and OCE will play against best teams in SEA and get experience playing against them :D
Tamag0 [#24]Invited teams? any source on this one?
It isn't fair tho if they decide to invite this 2021 Top 4 teams, It's a totally different circuit.
There are so many decent teams in SEA that capable to beat this teams anytime.
maybe because they follow other region same like emea, the team that attend champions got invited.

definitely a good experience, no doubt on that.

I will agree if this Top 4 teams are invited into SEA stage, but not at APAC.
