actual fix:
10 NA teams
9 SA teams (we’ll allow DRX to join as well)
they play their own tournament
10 EMEA teams
10 PAC teams
they play their own tournament
if this doesn’t happen then emea and pacific will never win another tournament
Okay
By virtue of the tournament's design, it's only ever possible for 3 NA teams to make it to the top 4, since one of the semifinals slots is exclusive to a part of the bracket with no NA teams.
OK, ive explained it quite a few times now, but let's look at it like this. imagine NA got 8 or 9 out of the 10 franchising slots for the americas. apart from the guard, can you make 2 or 3 more competitive teams from the remaining players? and if you can, what if the best players on the good teams went to different teams instead? there would be some teams that aren't competitive. this is what happened in EMEA. talent was spread too thin and the best players all went to the best teams, which made the rest of the region weak. APAC wasn't developed enough, which makes americas the strongest region. giving americas more slots would turn the league into a farming league since out of the NA, BR and LATAM ascension players, only one more competitive and fairly strong team can be formed.
I don't think any of them are asking lol most of them are just cheering on the americas league.
but some are definitely wondering why EMEA is so weak this year. i expect masters tokyo to look much better than this tournament anyways.
guard, m80, and i believe Shopify and G2 would do better than half of the current EMEA teams
yes they would. there seem to be too many tier 2 players that have snuck their way into EMEA franchising imo.
also you could get better F/A players on "Mad lions" or "break thru" and they could still be cracked af because of the players on teams like oxg ss faze tsm disguised and even some teams of tier 2 like soniqs city boys kitten shelter mochi fanclub and more, also there is a lot of players who arent old enough to compete yet like reduxx and giansanity who is been cracked af on knights recently.
