While most NA teams will be making multiple super teams, due to the large number of spanish orgs, these spanish orgs will try to sign a really good core of players, while keeping some players like fitinho, mixwell for the spanish viewerbase. This may completely ruin EMEA, as this is essentially refusing to not make a super team, holding the players captive in a mediocre team and overall heavily reducing the star player pool although this region has the highest number of uncontested slots, of 10 from which there is no division like brazil, NA or Korea, japan and sea.

It's not as bad as NA
We have 10 teams
NA has 5 teams (should've had 6, but Carlos said no)
We can allow some not-so-good players in our league
NA can't, they literally only have 25 players (assuming that BR and LATAM won't go for NA talent)
NA keeping Shahzam will hurt their scene more than EU keeping mixwell or whoever else
tsm and optic examples are bad, but i can understand they should've just given that g2 spot to xset or the guard. but i do think the sources are never wrong. the same sources who leaked every team right, the one who leaked that g2 is out were true. so i am inclined to believe 6 slot leak was true. though yeah it makes no sense, na should've still gotten 6 if g2 missed
we don't really know for sure, but according to dot esports leviatan actually took G2's spot

Yeah they also reported NA would have 6-8 spots a couple months ago so I’m sorry I don’t trust them 100%. Don’t get me wrong they do a great job but sometimes they try to be the first ones reporting something and end up missing
I trust this a lot more: https://twitter.com/anonimotum/status/1572315136416776196?cxt=HHwWiIC80aeS_tErAAAA
Yup, it’s never 100%, still people has to learn to understand which sources are more accurate and which are not. Also very important to notice the difference in the wording, is not the same when a reporter says someone is set to sign, and when he says they’ve been trying out with someone, big difference
Definitely not koldamenta, but fitinho for sure. Imagine a team with fitinho with redgar, sayf leo trexx. This essentially removes the possibility of redgar being in liquid, leo being in fnatic and sayf in another team. Overall heavily reduces how strong another team can be. Ofc this can easily be fixed with one strong addition.
But the stakes are so high now, you don't want to be among the bottom teams in partnership. And there will never be an opportunity like this again to strengthen a roster, it's going to decide who will be top and bottom for a long time in EMEA.
Taking a chance on someone not quite good enough simply because of nationality is a huge risk.
"NA will create super teams"
I think too many NA teams will remain loyal to their current roster instead of COMPLETELY re-building their roster like they should. A team of (Yay/Cryo), (Zekken/Zellsis), (Marved/Supamen), (Trent/Crashies), (FNS/Dephh/Zander) could easily be built and sounds great on paper.
most of these guys dont understand, having 2 or 3 superteams is much better than having 7 average teams. NA is not fuckedm out of the 5 teams only clown org is sentinels. Atleast 2 really insane LOUD and DRX level teams are gonna come out of that region. A superteam like DRX or LOUD is capable of beating teams like fnatic and liquid 7/10 times, but due to good firepower and anti strat they may win some. The only team that even comes close to being a super team in EMEA this year was FPX, and even they fell short this year beaten by DRX two times in 2-0. Its honestly the most difficult thing to do, that is trying to go far in the tournament after you have won a championship.
lmfao spanish teams that have ascended to VCT over 2022? ZERO. Number of German teams, TWO. Number of turkish teams, ONE. Number of northern teams in the VCT already, 50% of the league.
Furthermore, number of spanish teams that can beat vitality/mad lions, ZERO.
Edit: And let's be even more precise:
VCT Challengers S2 teams:
4/12 Northern Cores
3/12 CIS Cores
2/12 Eastern Cores
2/12 DACH cores
1/12 Turkish cores
0/12 Spanish cores
You want more reality checks... or you good? Delusional kid.
Edit2:
The only spanish player in the VCT was botwell, worst player in his team, one of the worst in the league as a whole.
no correlation tho? we are talking about the regional leagues as a whole, not about vct teams or which teams qualified, you are delusional if you think spanish vrl isnt the one with the most depth and overall quality, cant bother argue with a gold noob who knows nothing about the game that thinks fitinho is bad, mixwell is a fucking dog you are right, next time you try to make an argument with your 80iq fnatic supporter brain at least make some sense, cant understand how your small malfunctioning brain thought there was a correlation between what you wrote and the quality of the leagues as a whole lmao
I just gave you 50 reasons as to why Spanish VRL is one of the weakest. And all you have to say is "you don't understand?"
Cope my friend.
You know why spanish VRL is so weak? Because all those good european players are obligated to carry iberian bots. Because other than koldamenta, there is no good Spanish player in this world. Deal with it.
so what? I agree spanish players are bots except fitinho, koldamenta and saiz but that doesnt change the fact the best t2 players are in spanish vrl and it the best overall
"You know why spanish VRL is so weak? Because all those good european players are obligated to carry iberian bots."
Then spanish players are weak not the league, u braindamaged? Also do you have an agenda against spain or what? You seem obsessed, also funny that greek guy is talking when you have no scene in any esport
which are those best tier2 pros? Give me names please. Other than Wolfen (who is severely unproven), there's nobody else.
You don't have Vitality or Mad Lions level rosters. You don't have BIG level rosters. You don't have Fnatic/Liquid/G2/Guild/whatever other northern roster there is. You don't have Acend/OGLU level rosters. You don't have NaVi/M3C level rosters. You don't have SMB/FUT/BBL level rosters.
If you can't form a single roster that can compete with these teams, but all the other leagues actually can, then what does that say about Spanish VRL? It means there aren't good enough players to form good enough teams. Numbers speak for themselves, I won't elaborate any further.
it doesnt suit his argument so dont bother, he doesnt even understand the difference between quality of leagues, quality of players from specific country, the fact that a german team doesnt neccesarily make it the league the best one (if this was true as he is suggesting brazil is the best region!) and that vct teams have nothing to do with vrl
