They've made the same thing in Valorant, If Brazil was an organized first world country, 3° GDP in the world i doubt Riot would do something like this with us. Unfortunally, we are dragged down by incompetence... I will stop here bc no politics
The cblol isb't dead, they're gonna have a name change, and their gonna lose 4/10 teams (but gain 1 ascension team similar to val).
They will still play in Sao paulo and there will still be a large tier 2 scene for brazil who can actual compete against top teams (unlike val).
I'm kind of dissapointed with this articles blatant and unnessecary fear mongering. There are MANY different ways to critique this shift, and tons of valid reasons to be upset, but the only thing that this article does is antagonize riot, the LCS, and anyone that isn't a Brazilian CBLOL fan.
The reason the league is shrinking the number of teams is so that there can be a partnership, and riot can pay teams.
The LPL has 17 teams, and will have to shrink that number down aswell.
The LJL has 6 teams and will lose most,
The PCS has 7 teams and will lose most,
Hell, the LLA has 6 teams and two will be split into 2 different regions.
Is no other region gonna be pissed that their losing their teams?
If LCS fans talked as much about their own league as they are talking about brazilian fans being mad for being buttfucked (i'm looking at you, LS), then the LCS wouldn't need to merge with no other league. Or do you think that if it was the brazilian league losing viewership, that the NA league would sacrifice anything to help us?
Of course it's the LCS fault, they failed their own franchise with their high salaries and lack of identity. You cannot possibly be here trying to argue with me about a thing I have watched for over ten years. You know nothing about CBLOL, because none of you gave a damn about the brazilian league until NA started to fall apart and you needed us.
assisto o cblol desde VTI ignis e o cara quer me ensinar sobre nossa própria liga mano kkkkkkkk americano é muito esquisito, os caras se acham dono da razão da porra toda. A liga dos caras indo pro caralho ano após ano e ele quer me falar que a culpa da gente perder 4 times não é a incompetência dos times da LCS.
1 im not american,
2 y'all are getting 1 team back through ascension, you will still have 7 teams. In fact, I believe that if riot doesn't need to invest as much into each CBLOL team (because viewership is growing, and the teams are profitable) then there should be more partnered teams introduced.
Until that happens, the CBLOL will continue to play in Brazil against other brazilian and Koreans, and we can all continue watching our own league.
We were already watching LCS. Last split the peak viewership of LCS finals was half of CBLOL's, but that's because we had a watchparty with 100k views in brazilian portuguese. The ideia is obvious, they just announced a new import rule so that NA can hire brazilian players and get audience for it. Their currency is worth 5 times ours, so it'll be cheap and it'll bring public to them. And CBLOL will have to play against NA for a slot at worlds at the end of the year.
You will never understand what LCS did to us, we were much better without this shit change
They've took 4 of our teams and we must smile and be happy from now on
All of BR teams are well liked and have their own story, unlike LCS that nobody cares.
Brazil being punished for being successfull is fucked up
Cblol is not dead and will not be, first this is good for us just watch the fucking scene, we have players like Robo and tinowns with 80K salaries a month and even PH saying that loud league of legends never make any profit even winning the league 4x in a row, now you get teams like KABUM,RED,FLUXO,LOS,PAIN that were buying players for 200-500k and tell me how the fuck this is sustainable?
It was just a matter of time to our teams being broke and being a INTZ who is the biggest champion of brazil but they had to sell their own office because of money, stop with this "CBLOL IS DEAD" finally we have the opportunity to prove that we have talent playing against LLA LCS and the league will be more hype than ever was, CBLOL would be dead it was just a matter of time but this format will make things even greater for us we will grow like we never had before.
#8 - #26
Tl:dr CBLOL viewers dont care about internationals, they like watching brazillians play, and by losing 3 teams (south is being reduced to 8 teams, 1 being LLA, and the other being ascension (but brazil > so brazil will win that slot)) they lose 15 Brazillian players.
there is also a fear that american orgs will poach brazillian players, or flood the brazillian market with americans
If your league can't even be profitable and mantain good viewership through the years, you shouldn't be worried about worlds and msi slots. You should worry about your scene as a whole. You're losing spots because the entire lcs was on the verge of being dissolved. Don't talk like you were the ones being punished. We are the ones being punished to save YOUR ASSES.
No, never
