They’re wasting spots that NA teams could use. We don’t need more MIBR or FURIA. The only good thing South NA did was Champs 2022, and LOUD has already fallen off. If M80 doesn’t make it, they’ll just waste the spot and go winless the whole season.
its insane to think that all the players on those teams deserve to be in t1
what's even more absurd is to think that any of those teams would win an international event.
the goal isnt to have "the most competitive region"
the goal is to win international tournaments.
NA realistically has enough talent to field MAYBE 3 teams that are capable of winning tournaments.
having 6 teams to spread the ELITE talent only makes it less likely a team will win what matters.
Bro what tf are you even saying... The best two teams from NA this year was an ascension team that had a complete nobody come in as duelist and a team that did horrible the year prior with basically no expectation to win something big and even then a tier 2 player helped them do that. This "ELITE" talent is nonsense look what happened with NRG, how did a tier 2 team do better than world champions?
Almost winning is not the goal.
if you think any of the teams that you mentioned in your first comment have a chance at winning a masters then i have some ocean front property in Chicago I would like to sell you.
its weird that a 100% logical statement "Spreading talent across multiple teams makes the overall quality of the teams lower" would start an argument.
you have 20 WORLD CLASS CHAMPIONSHIP CALIBER players and you spread them across 30-35 slots.
we dont just want low end t1 players because they "Deserve t1"
we want ELITE players capable of winning trophies.
