Current fnatic roster couldn't even qualify per VLR, because of weird nationality rules. System is not only complete dogshit, but hampers the viability of EMEA in the long term. Why have restrictive rules for VLR when they aren't applied to the league above? But i guess someone responsible will read this and make fnatic break up instead of fixing VLR, because that's how stupid they are.
Just imagine someone applying the same system to NA with the weak ass argument of "we need to foster Minnesotan talent". No fuck off, you need to foster NA talent and not support some weak ass Minnesota team stealing spots from actual talent from regions with higher density of good players. This is exactly what happens with this VLR shitsystem. Like who came up with giving italy a region? The last fps guy of note from italy was fucking stermy 20 years ago. Their scene is basically inexistant.
The only reason regions should exist in online gaming is for ping reasons. We aren't fucking in 1786 playing Fox Tossing, you stupid mental bboomer fucks.
