So is G2 then

^

I see Japan Iceland results and I see them being dominated 13-9 13-5 by SEA team

Still better than Brazil, Latin America, Japan, SEA ;)
But all of those shitters get slots

Looks like TNL deserved 2nd Berlin spot more 💀

There is no bracket swap in lower round 3

Say, Gambit loses to Acend, they go into Liquid bracket, and only one of them will make it to Berlin

So you can't pick Acend, Gambit and Liquid at the same time, only 2 of them

Why do I feel like they will seed Brazil above Korea and there will be a group with Vision Strikers, NA team and EMEA team in it :D

And only 2 can make it out

For SMB to make LA - they need to be top-2 at Masters 3.
Literally impossible with Sentinels, Envy, 100 Thieves, Vision Strikers and other EMEA teams... Literally impossible.

I'm rooting for Acend and Gambit to qual and fill those 2 EMEA Champions spots, as both these teams already have 100 and 145 points respectively, for them to surpass Fnatic - super easy.

I just don't want Fnatic to have an easy spot at LA. They don't deserve it. They gotta smash LCQ to get it.

I'm more concerned about Fnatic possible Champions circuit qualification despite not doing anything since Stage 2
2nd place at Iceland giving more points than 3rd-4th at Berlin is such a fucking joke

G2 and SMB might not make LA because of it (they are new teams without any points), BUT THEY ARE INSANE

Did some calculations

If Guild wins tomorrow (super likely), FPX need to pray that Guild goes to Berlin, and then they still need to pray that any EMEA team wins Berlin, because in any other scenarios FPX are out completely

If Guild doesn't win tomorrow (not gonna happen), FPX need to pray that any EMEA team wins Berlin

The thing is, 2 out of 6 teams (G2, SMB, Navi, Guild, FF, Giants) will go to Masters 3 and earn more points than FPX, hence FPX gonna be 10th place in circuit or even lower, but definitely not 9th or higher

Only 2 teams out of Acend - Gambit - Liquid can go Berlin, that's how bracket is set up... You can't wish them all to win at the same time.

I think 3rd-4th places at Berlin should get 355-360 points (more than 2nd place at Iceland).

Masters 2 had only 10 teams, weaker competition, and recency should also be taken into account - older events are always supposed to give less points that new ones.

I like your prediction

Békéscsabai E-sport Egyesület

They already confirmed that status after not streaming stage 2 open qual matches and keeping single elim

Yes, EPL new system (without stupid play-ins for 1st places) seems really cool and could be used for lots of tourneys

For G2 and SMB to surpass Fnatic by circuit, they need to get top-2 at Berlin (other results are not acceptable cuz won't be enough points), otherwise they will be at Champions only if Fnatic will be there too, dumbfuck system

LoL has 24 teams at worlds... CSGO has 24 teams at major... R6 has 20 teams at six invitational... Even Dota international has more - 18. You can't just sit at 16, considering that the game is growing rapidly and every single region needs support to survive.

How about making Champions 24 teams with 8 more slots for all the cucked regions:
+1 Oceania
+1 MENA
+1 India / South Asia
+1 China / East Asia
+2 EMEA
+1 North America
+1 Korea

You can farm stars by typing pointless + short + positive comments which don't add anything to the discussion, especially redditors like to do it a lot

I mean, go visit any popular subreddit out there, those comments which have the most upvotes are usually so fucking dull and obvious, they don't even need to be written at all, but people like to post that shit for popularity reasons

LET'S GO BOYS ONE MORE WIN HERE OR IN THE LOWER BRACKET

<3

"EU deserves more slots at EMEA" they said

Fluent in russian (mother tongue), semi-fluent in ukrainian (still can't remember some words despite living here), upper intermediate in english (read / write quite good but can't speak / listen well because there isn't much practice)

:/

They will have to beat the loser of FPX - SMB and then the winner of Gambit - Guild to qualify dude, not easy at all

I assume either Gambit or Guild will get rolled by Acend in upper semis

Liquid lost = PrTsty copium overdose

Liquid were trash all along wdym

Ахаха ок удачи против снеда
Надежда умирает последней ну-ну

А в этой катке не было смысла так-то
Нави победили, ну а дальше их ждет Асенд - сильнейшая команда в Европе и это как-бы очевидно кто выиграет, у них топ игрок на операторе который выносит всех нахуй
В итоге и Ликвиды и Нави отправятся в нижнюю сетку начиная с одинакового раунда, и ни те ни другие не получат абсолютно никакого преимущества

Gambit, Navi, SMB, OXG, FF are better than all japanese teams will ever be. If they get a slot we should too.

Oh wait you forgot what happened at Iceland? KRU got owned by Fnatic more than they owned Futbolist. Does that mean #2 TR team (back then) >>>> entire LATAM region? I'm not even talking about Gambit who gave Fnatic a much tougher fight than KRU.

But if we can't beat EU it doesn't mean we can't beat other piece of shit regions with free slots like Japan or Latin America.

Why are they allowed to send their teams to Masters and Champions but we aren't? That seems fair to you?

CIS = small region
Turkey = small region
3 slots for us and Europe all together while Asia bots get 5 and South America bots get 4

Thanks Rito for supporting small regions 👍

NA needs to have closed qualifier in-between opens and Challengers (with 8 auto-invited top-seeded teams like in EU / TR / CIS), feels like teams which win Chal.1 opens are getting too much advantage (they are proceed to Chal. 1, and if they lose there, Chal. 2 spot is guaranteed for them too).

Remember BBG? One fluke win over SEN and they didn't even need to grind opens anymore.

I don't even know if it's an honest post or bait, but nevertheless I got baited

3 people above me have like 5 iq
And they upvote each other and downvote the right comment, reddit things

Because there were none since 2019?
Coronavirus robbed Navi and goat s1mple from winning 3 consecutive majors - Spring 2020, Fall 2020, Spring 2021.

NA: Sentinels, Envy, XSET
EMEA: Gambit (hopium), Navi (hopium), Acend (want to see more of cNed and them at Champions), FPX (the momentum is building)
KR: I was for Vision Strikers and F4Q, but feels bad for TNL too
BR: Vikings (gtn goat), Stars Horizon (believe in underdogs potential)
LATAM: Australs (so KRU go to last chance and don't let Brazil have 3 teams at Champs)
JP: Insomnia (something CIS pride), Reject (full japanese roster without 6-man cheating and korean imports)
SEA: don't care

It's not normal when 2nd place at a weaker tournament with less teams gets you more points than 3rd place at a stronger tournament with more teams, and I don't think they will change points, it's probably already decided

"Circuit points are higher"

Not really lol, G2 can't overtake Fnatic in circuit if they place lower than top-2 (Fnatic didn't earn anything in Masters 1, neither G2 did), which is really fucking dumb, right now there are 16 teams instead of previous 10 + stronger competition and better meta reads, why would they distribute points like this

Fnatic still might get to Champions while not doing anything, Riot should just fire all these people responsible for points allocation, even I would do their job better for free

Japan is the weakest region in the world, much weaker than SEA and of course not even close to Korea
Go check Iceland results, Raccoons got owned by X10

I think Indian team will easily roll them (Zeta, Reject, Nth or whoever will be in LCQ)

Check scores maybe, at least those games were close
Raccoons didn't even hit double digits against them LMAO

Explain why people think Japan is stronger than SEA
Just curious what makes this tier5 region so loved by community

Okay no X10 nor any other SEA team, but 2 ass japanese teams

The more you shit on specific teams the less overrated they become

Keep up the good work my friend 👍

1) That was different VS with glow without Lakia
2) That was months ago, meta changes, top teams too
3) TNL has Meteor now, an absolute monster in human disguise

You can't know which team would win - TNL or F4Q
