If any smaller region gets far in these masters, they will surely belittle it until the end saying that it was because of the whole situation of FPX and FNATIC and this story of the most ''boring'' masters of all KEKW
You're right about Sentinel's mentality, but there's a reason why new teams (like The Guard) have come out of nowhere in NA, after grinding practicing and trying their absolute hardest for the past 3-4 months to make it here. The issue with Sentinels is that they make too much money off streams, and so do the orgs. The real money for orgs isn't in the tournament winnings unfortunately, and it sets a bad precedent for orgs in NA.
Your region still gets 3 spots. NA wouldn't be making excuses as to why they lost if The Guard couldn't go. C9 would take the spot and that'd be it. If they didn't win, that's that.
We wouldn't cry and make excuses as to why we lost. EMEA cringe. I might think BR is mediocre, but at least they don't whine over every loss and instead decide to celebrate their victories. I give props to BR for that. Then again, that's every region except EMEA.
3 spots. which are there because emea is the #1 region.
emea is the #1 region because the best emea teams have gone to represent emea, but now that isnt the case.
so i think its pretty reasonable to not be happy about it, and emea can keep living rent free in your head i could care less for your emea hate boner.
