still, same slots for every region if this continues next year gg valo dyin in 2024
riot really thinks MOBA lol format gonna work in fps
ALSO, EG COM SAID THEY PRACTICE 12h A DAY-STAYING UP ALL NIGHT
OTHER TEAMS ARE DOING SaMETHING
BUT GUESS WHAT THERES ONLY 2 slots for na and 3 for eu how tf players gonna be motivated
the problem is there desire to only showcase 2-3 games per day with a lack of B streams. This limits their ability to hold larger tournaments than 16 because their costs would be too large only showing 2-3 games per day for a tournament system like CS:GO. Lets say they tried to use the CS:GO major format. It would take them about 28 days (not including taking breaks between each stage), as each swiss system would take 12 days, and the final playoffs would take 4. This format takes a total of 12 days in CS:GO. Riot is trying "to put the viewers first", but in turn are potentially hurting it as many teams are not able to show their skills on the main stage.
People don't realise that adding more slots will extend the tournament and reduce the level of competition. In CSGO you have teams like Imperial in Major playoffs with 5 washed up BR pros past their prime. They would get annihilated against the top 10 teams barring Liquid as they are overrated as fuck. The current format is great for the sustainability of the game. As more teams improve and get on the samr level, Riot will increase the slots based on consistent international performance by region.
It does. Less slots means only the best of the best can make it through. For Iceland, Liquid made it through as 3rd seed but they are like 4th at best in EU. If they add an extra slot, teams like Guild will make it through even though back in Stage 1 they were inconsistent and very poor barring a few maps.
