What is your average ping on your country on the different SEA server (SG, Manila, HK), (If you are Vietnamese, please tell if north or south for more reliable data), still working on my T2/T3 valo reform

Bleed

You just need one !

LAN : LAN talent doesnt really have outlets since they have no T2 team
LAS : LEV betray
BR : BR is at the end of a cycle, they need to rebuild and this year is kinda the sacrificed year
NA : Every team cant be good, 2 is already nice. Maybe NRG will be better next year also

In France we have the concept of "one sided Rivalry", when one team consider them a rival but the other dont. Every medeiteranean team consider Marseille being their rival while Marseiel doesn't give sa fuck to any of them. Kinda fit to 100T SEN

And JL ?

Continentally (EMEA/AMER/CNTW/APAC) : Single elim is okay to decide who is the regional winner, since nobody care about it, but we should have a looser bracket that decide sho got the remaining places in international event

Maybe team with 2 underage players shouldn't be allowed to play ascension

Then who ?

The current mapool is the best one we ever have, we just need Ascent out and we good

"But the money, ppl wont watch the games" the casual viewer DOES NOT care about other regions, and riot literally already has a room in their building dedicated to teams facing each other

I can be agree with that but it's should be only the start of your though, you need to go further and think about a whole format.

How would look like the schedule ? 3 BO3 a day on a weekend day + 2 BO3 for 3 days ? Or making the split twice longuer ?
If the regular season is more long, then we need less importance for playoffs ? (What's the point of winning 11 BO3, if you are out after 2 BO3) ? Should we go to the ancestral King of the Hill used by LCK on LoL ?

In my case, I would support making a full RR at least for split 2 since Split 2 is sooo important, and to make some test, but maybe not for Split 1 yet

No please, PLEASE NO, Football club cover way less territory than an esport club. You take Fenerbahçe as a T1 team ? Great you loose Gala fans, FUT and BBL are great as they are

No, if you do that they wont improve

I bet it's gonna be for XLG, they gonna have the group of death and being relegated while DRG will have an easy group

They dont even touch

It's not possible its happening with the current rules, you can't have 2 chinese team.

The rule is good, but this should be an exception

Remember FPX group in 2024 lol : TH, GEN, SEN.
FPX where seed 2

It's not possible its happening witht the current rules

DRG and XLG should go in the same group in Champions, to be sure the team that is qualified for VCT 2026 is the best team.
I know all of you want to see 4 group with 4 different region, but that would be unfair for XLG/DRG

IGL

Are you sure they are talking in English ?

SEA player have a decent English level, Korean and Japan people are horrible when it's come to speak english.

Also, it would kill team identity. So no, worst thing that would happen, we better go back to national team

Well play you managed to ragebait me

This... Didnt age well.

But I can agree I think in 2031 it can be a good thing to have a Pacific league (4 KR, 2 JP, 1 OCE, 1TW or MN or East RU), and an Asian league (1 ID, 1 MYSG, 1PH, 1TH, 1VN 1 IN, and for the last 2 it depend if you ant to add Russia for geopolitical reason, or MENA to have a slightly better league)

Thats too bad we no longer have reward in custom game, this kind of concept are really good

Because Global where hire representing and develop Indian market, and they are not doing it. India doesn't have the same scrimpool or the same language than other APAC team. If Global wasn't Indian, they wouldn't get hired. IF KC would be french, they would get hire, because the reason why they get hire, is that they are a looooot of fans (But I admit they have their fan because of French)

"Talon are from HK but only have Thai players"
Talon is considered as a Thai roster from the start, they were picked by Riot to represent Thai community

"G2 are German but only have NA players"
They are spanish, not German, they dont are' a partner team, they are free

"VIT and KC are French but don’t have any French players, TH are Spanish but don’t have any Spanish players"
This is the European paradox, we share the same scrimpool, and since most of young people speak english, we also share the same language, so Europe kinda share the same market, and it seems that's every European team doesn't represent their specific country. It trusts KC to find young french talent in the future and make them grow thanks to acad team.

I think the main point is the scrimpool, if you are an Indian player you won't have access to a good soloQ, so the only way to have access to a good soloQ is to become a T1 player and move to Korea, but since they are not good enough, they are not picked by GE, but they are not good enough because bad soloQ, and this create a vicious circle. In comparison, a good French player will have access to European soloQ like any other player. So French player have outlet if they are good enough, while a goated Indian talent will never have his chance. (Thats the same problem for an Ocian player, thats why we need an OCE team)
Also keep in mind that they are way more player in India than in France (Basically x2), that it's a country the size of the European continent that develop FAST, with way more young player than in EU.

That's the main reason why I will have issues complaining about KC, while I will complain a lot about GE : Scrimpool,

Vit is constant, they keep the same level during all the year, no progress, no improvement while other team did just progress.

I'll name KC, weak with the weak, strong witht the strong

Thanks for the precision !

Play posplant, and become a postplant succubus, it's way more fun than aim demon

The fact Even if C9 would have 5-0 a group with both SEN and G2 and would still be a darkhorse is hillarious

Exactly, during 2026 we will have a process and the name of partner team will be different, it will have some changes, either they will allow T2 team to participate in international event, or they will reduce to 8 or 6 team the number of partner team to have more ascended team and avoid a situation where a team that end 2nd in champ could be relegated

Yup, it's a team game, and I don't have a team, so no reason to play comp.

(But instead I tryhard normal and swiftplay as if it was VCT)

Americas will probably not split, it's rumors debunked by Faria (Trust me, APAC split is way more a priority now).

Anyway, it will have an org application process in every league even without a split

My bro it's Los Angeles, not Brasil, of course player need a weapon in order to not die when they come on stage, sometimes us westerners do forget what a Third World country like the USA really is, and how dangerous it is

Unranked level 325
(Never ranked ever)

2 team can be relegated, but if only one team reach Champions this team wont be relegated

I confirm

heya

Now 2G is out they cant be relegated

I agree, he was in contenders with Sage before her massive nerf long time ago, because she was both team player but also allow more egoistic and creative things.

It's true, but Playoffs will stay in BO3, so they will still shine in PO since we will be generous for the number of places in playoffs

Yes, and I say they should

It makes no sense to not allow it, the only reason why it's not allowed it's because they didn't think this precise situation could happen.
(WDYM by RNG ?)

They can't, but they should be able to do

So you basically want to rid of partner team ?

Definitely, always good to gives incentive to invest into T2

Could be a compromise, but I think if the structure want to make some change in the roster with the T1 team, they could be allowed, it's always good to gives incentives to invest into T2

I'm talking about their academic team that won fair and square

Yup, exactly

Their academic team should have enough point to participate into the qualifying tournament, the ranking should be :

• Stellae (120 Points)
• LOS (70 points)
• RED Canid (70 points)
• Team Solid (60 points)
• 2G Acamedic (60 points)
• Corinthian (60 ponts, they currently have 65 because 2G doesnt count, so they inherited 5 points from them)

If 2G main team isn't able to play in ascention, they should 100% being allowed to participate in ascention since their Academy would have enough point. They invested into the scene and got place decent enough to have a place in ascention qualifier, so this is unfair
