(don't look at the fifa world cup)

Will it be a huge double elim bracket with no GF? or a lock//in situation with two pools?
What does VLR think the format will be?

Didn't know magnum's name is Owen

0/8 terrible reply

I only joined VLR this year, and I do not know where 0/8 came from.
Why isn't it 0/10? Did this come from CSGO? From OW?

wait, ur also americas, why am I hating

on ascent too XDD

estamos nos unindo para tirar sarro do americano XDD

#8 - #26
Tl:dr CBLOL viewers dont care about internationals, they like watching brazillians play, and by losing 3 teams (south is being reduced to 8 teams, 1 being LLA, and the other being ascension (but brazil > so brazil will win that slot)) they lose 15 Brazillian players.
there is also a fear that american orgs will poach brazillian players, or flood the brazillian market with americans

clueless

Dead men don't wear plaid

I mean... LLA did get completely fucked by this

And this is where the discussion ends,
I do not believe that this will happen, so I wouldn't feel as worried as you would

true, if the LCS really is funded by brazillina viewership, then thats just embarrassing

Viewership.
The import rule is: only two imports per team (not from their conference or region), and a north team can import a southern player (and vice versa) without counting towards that 2 player limit. But a team cannot be >50% of the other conference, meaning that a Brazilian team cannot have 3 Americans.
Salaries have been higher since before the merger, if players haven't switched before, they are unlikely to switch now.
Americas has 3 teams going to worlds: 1 from north, 1 from south, and a third that will be determined (hopefully) through a tournament. the CBLOL has more oppourtunities to make it to worlds following the merger.

Can anyone tell me what the LCS did, or will do, that caused any of this
Viewership is not an answer, because they will not play against each other, which means that Brazillian viewers will not watch/save the LCS

1 im not american,
2 y'all are getting 1 team back through ascension, you will still have 7 teams. In fact, I believe that if riot doesn't need to invest as much into each CBLOL team (because viewership is growing, and the teams are profitable) then there should be more partnered teams introduced.
Until that happens, the CBLOL will continue to play in Brazil against other brazilian and Koreans, and we can all continue watching our own league.

The CBLOL isnt even going to play against the LCS, how is this the LCS’s fault? If your upset about the wrong person, what other opinion that you are upset about, is wrong?

The reason the league is shrinking the number of teams is so that there can be a partnership, and riot can pay teams.
The LPL has 17 teams, and will have to shrink that number down aswell.
The LJL has 6 teams and will lose most,
The PCS has 7 teams and will lose most,
Hell, the LLA has 6 teams and two will be split into 2 different regions.
Is no other region gonna be pissed that their losing their teams?

The cblol isb't dead, they're gonna have a name change, and their gonna lose 4/10 teams (but gain 1 ascension team similar to val).
They will still play in Sao paulo and there will still be a large tier 2 scene for brazil who can actual compete against top teams (unlike val).
I'm kind of dissapointed with this articles blatant and unnessecary fear mongering. There are MANY different ways to critique this shift, and tons of valid reasons to be upset, but the only thing that this article does is antagonize riot, the LCS, and anyone that isn't a Brazilian CBLOL fan.

can't wait for it to be re-added without any changes

I'm sorry Screwface... but MxS 2-0

not me lmao

I love how bro just assumed that hes from Toronto, and was right

Both bind and split have gone through heavy adjustments since their release, they are not the same maps as when they were released.

Not even scared :MonkaS:

Hey you forgot to all caps the tier 3 line 👍

how tf is YFP winning this game?

I cannot wait for someone to fall off the cliff in game 5, GF of champs or sum, and for VLR to RUN RIOTS SHIT for making such a dogshit map.
I like the map :)

bro is upset I called JDG bad

I was in EU for the entire kickoff/split 1, so I didn't even watch Americas 💀
I like the DRX change, because the only reason to change an IGL is if something is going wrong, so the team MUST be better right?
Ts have not convinced me to believe, and I have succumb to the irrational nepo hate
T1... I have an irrational hatred for that team and I can't explain it.
Talon have been letting me down with the 6-man roster, and patiphan wasn't the one they were replacing
RRQ, I love Monyet so surely they will do well.

M0/8

Bro replied to my comment where I clarified what I meant 😭

Who's the good player that has not been performing in MIBR? I meant that player. Havoc is not the only reason Furia is bad

I will break it down for all you plebians on which teams are ACTUALLY good: (the order of teams is just the order from liquipedia, they are not sorted)
Pacific:
Gen.G - #2 ITW | PRX - perma 3/4 internationals | DRX - will be #1 in pacific | T1 - the worst team in VCT | TS - slightly above T1 | Zeta - gatekeepers for playoffs | GE | RRQ - world beaters | Talon - lowkey terrible | Bleed | DFM - lowkey goated
Americas:
Sen - good | Loud - bad (with pancada, they will look better) | EG - unironically good | G2 - yall need to stop underrating them | MIBR - lowkey nice with it (if havoc can shoot his gun) | C9 - world beaters | KRU - they are lowkey frauds | Lev - highkey frauds | Furia
CN:
FPX - goats | EDG - lowkey fallen off (as much as I hate to say it) | DRG - highkey goated | Trace - unironically goated | BLG - terrible, FNS will not save them | TEC - Gatekeepers of Playoffs | JDG - they lost to DRG in Ascension, and it shows | Nova | AG | Tyloo | Wolves - 🤤
EMEA:
KC - lowkey good (if they decide to start playing good) | TH - world beaters | Na'Vi - my third most hated team... they're good >:( | Fnatic - unironically good (if people stop pissing themselves) | VIT - very bad | KOI - even worse | FUT - My second most hated team... they are not good | M8 - lowkey good | TL - gatekeeper of playoffs | BBL - worse than FUT, but I like them more | GX - unironically good

As you all see, this is the best list, and there are no issues.
Cheers,
