Lmfao how is FUT in LCQ for free bc they won Masters 1 in TR. Very scuffed circuit points system this year. Hopefully the Masters 1 next year is international so shit doesn't go like this.
I am all for more International LANS, but lets not pretend it wouldn't be the same if EU won Masters 2 and NA having to hear it for 3 months. There isn't a region around that would not shit talk after winning the first international LAN event. It just so happened NA won this event. And whoever wins Masters 3 whether it's NA, EU, TR, CIS, BR, KR, or even JP and LATAM will be the ones shit talking the losers. Even as an NA fan who more often than not is on the losing foot, I wouldn't want to ever change. Light hearted shit talking is fun. It's only when people get personal that it becomes shitty.
I'm more concerned about Fnatic possible Champions circuit qualification despite not doing anything since Stage 2
2nd place at Iceland giving more points than 3rd-4th at Berlin is such a fucking joke
G2 and SMB might not make LA because of it (they are new teams without any points), BUT THEY ARE INSANE
For SMB to make LA - they need to be top-2 at Masters 3.
Literally impossible with Sentinels, Envy, 100 Thieves, Vision Strikers and other EMEA teams... Literally impossible.
I'm rooting for Acend and Gambit to qual and fill those 2 EMEA Champions spots, as both these teams already have 100 and 145 points respectively, for them to surpass Fnatic - super easy.
I just don't want Fnatic to have an easy spot at LA. They don't deserve it. They gotta smash LCQ to get it.
I think if Gambit doesnt choke in EMEA qualifiers they can make it, Gambit needs to get top 12 in Berlin and Acend needs to get top 8 in Berlin to pass Fnatic, so if they dont choke in EMEA qualifiers Gambit’s goal is pretty easy and Acend will most likely make it to top 8.
Edit: I miscalculated, Gambit only needs to qualify for Berlin and Acend needs to get top 12 in Berlin. If they both qualify its gg then.
Maybe. But it doesn't change the fact that FUT don't deserve to be there. And at least some other teams deserve to be there. And even if they won't win it. They at least deserve to be there.
And as an example. Some teams deserve to be in LCQ but not to win it. C9 in NA had a really good run in Challengers 2 bringing down a few giants. They deserve to be in LCQ. But not to win it. I don't see C9 winning it at all.
