Slot distribution for next masters

#1

Neeraj

3 EMEA
3 APAC
3 BR + LATAM
3 KR + JP
3 NA
1 China (if the game releases there , if does not then 4 slots for EMEA)
About time every region gets equal slots , skill gap between regions too low now , EMEA just a little better

As far as I know, it will be 12 teams again, so, imo, it should be sth like this:

-3 EMEA
-3 BR + LATAM
-3 APAC (including JP)
-2 NA
-1 KR

(edited bc lasted 1 spot)

why are we not giving a second KR team a chance? Make it like an inter-regional qualifier like for BR-LATAM.

Korean teams like WGS and ONS have done better vs DRX than NiP and Zeta. They deserve a chance too.

They did that last time and the second seed from KR ended up not getting a single win in the group stage, no?

maybe cuz the team that qualified wasn't even the 2nd best team in the region? lol tnl vsed vision strikers in the semifinals and there wasn't a losers bracket or anything

they've never made a qualifier between KR and JP, you're talking about APAC LCQ, where Korean teams played on Hong Kong (terrible server, riddled with packet loss and instability issues) or had 80 ping and less than a month's practice. As for Nuturn, they actually made a decent run, but they were not the same Nuturn from Iceland. Damwon KIA were the best KR team at LCQ. They were also the same team that had less than a month's practice.

APAC LCQ last year was a fiesta, I think all LCQs besides EMEA was a fiesta last year. Hope they make it a LAN like APAC playoffs this year.

i am deeply sorry that Damwon beat your country's best team (PRX) and got third at the event.

i am sorry nuturn got 3rd at iceland.

i am also sorry that your prediction of zeta 2-0ing DRX ended up horribly wrong.

i am sorry to SEA teams for having toxic fans like you. I support PRX/XIA and also FullSense, but also support KR, i'm sorry you have to talk trash to a region that has proven its competitiveness to boost your own pride.
i am sorry you have a hate boner for KR.
have a good day.

Oh F4Q? Yeah they were considered heavy underdogs because they weren't even the 2nd best team in Korea at the time. TNL didn't make Berlin because of single elim.

That's the only time KR has second seed, so yes, I can only go off from there. Maybe if DRX get better results they will give another 2nd seed for KR.

I feel like all the KR teams are getting mowed down tho when DRX is actually playing to win. Like their first match against onslayers they were playing without strats and they still gave onslayers a run for their money, and then the two other times they played when it actually mattered DRX 13-3 and 13-4 them over and over on all maps

nah they didnt give ONS a run, they literally lost 13-3 Icebox. They also went to OT in GF.

Also almost 2-0d by WGS

If APAC do better (not including ZETA) I feel like they should have an increased amount. They right now only have 2 and if they prove that they can still compete with the top dogs it should definitely be upped to 3 and BR or LATAM should take the hit for KRU losing off the rip

Ass list. Only 1 to Korea but 2 for Br again?? Most likely they'll take the 3rd slot as well since Latam have no strong team now.

It will not be easy for BR to take that slot again, at least, it shouldn't be easy. About KR, maybe 2 slots for APAC and 1 for KR + an LCQ between 2nd of KR vs 3rd of APAC

Why would it be hard for Brazil? They have gotten guaranteed 2 spots at every single LAN. At champs they had 3. Like wtf. They’re arguably the worst region right now along with Japan. Yes the last of the 3 spots was in a BR + Latam LCQ, but Latam barely had a say in that. 3 of the 4 best teams were Brazilian and the final was extremely one sided. Literally one is enough for Brazil, but potentially three??

that's because Leviatan (ex-Australs) are so fkin good but cannot handle the pressure of Grand Finals or other important instances. When they can deal with it, they will get a spot for Masters

that is 1 too many spots for a region that doesnt have anything going for it. KR should stay at 1 cause the only good team is DRX, i dont think we need to talk about JP, and APAC need one more cause i can tell theyre gonna do good this tourney

emea is still way better fpx isnt here fnc playing with 2 subs

brazil is yet to prove themselves too

"skill gap is still huge between JP+KR vs rest of regions"

yeah, let's ignore how terrible KRU looked in their matches this event
The fact that BR also only have one capable superteam at the moment, similar to KR
That ONS would actually do well in APAC qualifiers and are at least NiP level
And that Zeta is actually starting to perform well and gain their confidence

But nope, KR/JP <<< other regions, pretty sure you're the dude who mentions GE's win over DK in every thread about KR which happened over 6 months ago

no one is ignoring KRU the guys said LATAM and BR combined and with how bad KRU is recently that doesn't need further elaboration
BR is capable of one superteam based on what? I did address BR that they haven't done jackshit to prove themselves yet internationally
you keep bringing all these new names like ONS TNL World Game star but all these teams get shit on by DRX every single time and thats all Ive said earlier too that KR is just a single team region and the rest are way behind and yes maybe ONS does well in APAC but thats not even comparable coz KRJP will not play in APAC South Anymore
Zeta? they got 5 rounds against DRX and managed to beat fnc a team with their best 2 players not playing so idk wtf are you on about when you say the perform well

so its not just KR/JP its BR LATAM along with them too also I never bring up GE its you Koreans who bring it up each time coz yall still mad that DK lost to a dogshit team like GE just look at that archetype guy down below

Riot u can invite more than 12 teams if u don't need 5 hours to play 2 maps, like yesterday.
Especially for emea teams it's sad, the playoffs were online and masters are the only time when they can play offline.

Brazil deserves a single spot for a LCQ with LATAM North, Middle East and North Africa. Also, the winner of this group should be sent to the toughest group possible. Sad but true, we are simply going to be just like LoL 2.0 in this game, better keep investing in CSGO and R6.
