Masters 3 Slots??

Do you guys think Riot would actually adjust the regional slots for Masters 3? I think everyone's hoping for some sort of adjustment to allow for higher quality play but do you think Riot would actually pull the trigger. And just to clarify I'm all for regional representation for a game so new but would also like to see the actual best teams in the world compete in Berlin.

Should have clarified this originally but I meant the slots per region. I know there's sixteen teams. I'm talking about adjusting the slots per region based on Masters 2 showings to produce the highest quality global competition. Example taking a slot from Japan and giving it to CIS... just an example

I dont know if you mean this but master 3 will have 16 teams and more slots per region.
Also Champions.

Unlikely. it's more about representation than "higher quality of play", which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Regions aren't "inherently bad" in their skill or the players they produce; I'm sure we'll see some upsets in Berlin from regions that didn't perform as well in Iceland.

I somewhat agree...I think if that's their long-term approach it will hinder the esports success. Esports is suppose to be competitive. People expect to see the best in the world when watching a global tournament. I'm ok with fair regional representation throughout this year, to give every region a fair opportunity to display their talent, but think they should steer towards merit after that.

I agree but CIS isn't getting a slot any time soon, as much as I want it to happen. Turkey will though, probably starting from next season.

That does make sense and is obviously the only logical reason, which is understandable, Riot needs to make money. A balance just needs to be found on making money/regional representation/top global teams

1000000% agree. Some of these challenger finals for stage 3 could be lans which would make it possible to merge some regions like japan and sea, and the best teams comes from there for 2 slots or something like that. Europe minus CIS/TR should get 3 slots, and thats my honest opinion
