FPX

Do you think they will compete in EU or CIS to qualify for main league?

CIS path seems easier but there is still NaVi, OBG and former GMT competing for 2 spots

compete in a harder league with more spots would be the play

in rankings they are top 9 anyway, so getting 1/8 spots shouldn't be too hard

EU quals, if they fail -> Nordics VRL, since they have a british player and a swedish player (2 is a needed minimum)

Would be cool to see them in CIS but I don't think it will happen, they are locked as an EU team since Ignition Series and that shit would be hard to change

But yeah CIS quals seem so easy, OBG / GMT are both tier3, Navi with Jady might do something tho, but imagine how bad Duno performance will be, he was already the worst player and now he's IGLing

I'd rather have 6 EU 1 TR 1 CIS or 5 EU 2 TR 1 CIS tbh - 2 for TR seems reasonable because MENA will be playing on Istanbul too, but 2 for CIS...

I'd rather compete with NaVi and OBG for 2 spots than the rest of EU for 4 slots.

I think fpx can easily beat obg and other teams but I don't think they can beat navi and they compete with gmt

Can someone explain me the EMEA format? There are open qualifiers. And there are regional leagues. Then they have closed qualifiers. How do teams get into challengers except 4 Champion teams?
