they are more in the conversation than leaf and qw1 ever will be

much better, all their players are cracked

you just casually forgot about PACIFIC
jing, something and maybe sayaplayer are all better than leaf and qw1

when does Team Secret play?

Cned will get jett diffed

If ASE played SEN/100T/LEV they'd have a good shot at winning

ASE can't even come up with player names so they smash their head on the keyboard.
what makes you think they can come up with strats to beat DRX?

I agree, I don't see a world where ASE reaches group stages unless they pull of an insane mid-tourney improvement like ZETA did.

You need to specify which team if you are writing the winner on the same side.
Looks like a 3-0 this way

Navi will go out winnless
FPX core fell off after copenhagen

NAVI is way overrated they are barely if at all top3 in EMEA

You are overrating NAVI way too much, they might even get grouped by EDG
kang kang owns cned

least delusional C9 fan

DRX will send FUT home unfortunately

0/8

DRX would destroy NAVI if they played right now

NAVI has always been overrated and FUT just got owned by possibly the best looking team in the world rn.
Wait until playoffs I have hope in TL and FNC.

watch DRX will cook something up and make it far in the tournament

they only got in the event at all because fnc won lock in
they also lost to fut
keep coping
T1 clears NAVI

nah navi gonna get grouped by t1

TenZ - 60.4% winrate (MVP of 15% of the matches)

can you take your time to appreciate how insane mwzera is? without a doubt the most talented player to ever touch the game

I'll try to explain briefly why I think he is the best player in the world
Despite his insane aim and movement
The best way to know if a player is a good duelist is RAZE. There is a BIG difference between a good duelist and a jett abuser
If he is a good duelist, he needs to be good with raze.

heat? not good with raze
aspas? not good with raze
xand? not good with raze
tenz? not good with raze
cned? not good with raze
scream? not good with raze
d3ffo? not good with raze
derke? not good with raze

Thats why I think he is undoubtely the best player in the world. If RIOT by any means decides to nerf jett and shift the meta we prolly not gonna even hear names like cned and tenz again :>
He is not killing 40+ per map because when he joined VK he was forced to play a different role because heat is already a main jett... and lets be honest, every single duelist nowadays gets 20+ kills per map because team and setups are basically built around you (even steel managed to get 20 kills with it https://www.vlr.gg/29398/sentinels-vs-100-thieves-champions-tour-north-america-stage-3-challengers-playoffs-gf/?game=46692&tab=overview)

Dude they literally hosted an event in brazil.
I doubt they are so concerned about safety that they won't host in NA.

I'd say sponsors and viewership is more "commercially important" which I would 100% say is NA.
But just competetively meaning which region has better teams and results in LANs would be EU.
But t2 is def better in NA.

how come EMEA has more titles then?

I am amazed how you managed to do that.

just like they got trashed by FUT?

it literally DOES NOT MATTER where a no crowd event is hosted. The only thing it might help with is appeasing NA crybabies.
Also NA might be the most commercially relevant region but it's not the most competitively relevant one.

While I agree with your point, I think that there is still a big still gap between a team like KRU and for example the old full indian GES roster.
KRU is a proper tier 1 team even though their league performance was disappointing at times.
GES had maybe one player that they could even consider for tier 1.
That's the difference, you have to make it at least somewhat competitive or else it will be kind of a slot waste like Detonation is right now. And I don't know if a full VIET/OCE roster can play at tier 1 niveau, which we'll see at ascension.

If you really want to develop these regions you need a strong tier 2 scene as that is the stage they are at right now.

Also tier 2 EMEA is not at the level that KRU is at. NA is an exception bc they only got 5 slots which left them with some good tier 1 talent in the tier 2scene (M80, TGRD)

Well I'm not saying that. Just how representative is an org that has no players from that country really.

The point is kr had a lot of tier 1 talent.
These other countries dont yet. So if you have an org from there you will see a similar story to GES where they are just an import team.

So you want an OCE org that only has import players, except maybe like one.
Instead I think riot should try to build up a decent tier 2 scene, which is where OCE players belong at the moment.

You say for 3 years when really there has only been a crowd for one year so before it didn't really matter where the event was. Especially considering the closeness of timezones from iceland to NA

Most of the teams from those other countries are simply not fit for tier 1 competition yet. Name me one team from these countries that could reliably have a chance to beat geng or t1.
As long as they are at tier 2 level they shouldn't play in franchising.

Navi lost to fut though. And seeing as EDG is a better team than ASE i don't see how that's not possible.

I agree mostly but I think that korea isn't really overrepresented. Both geng and t1 have performed really well. If anyone Japan might be ( not saying they should lose a slot) i think we should just let ascension play out and maybe a VN/OCE/TW team get in (Fancy has probably a decent shot at it).

If the teams are bad why should we waste spots on them in international events when that spot could go to a way better team from a different region.
I agree that there should be regional leagues and such but isn't that already planned with t2?
Those teams are not tier 1 teams, is what my point is. (eg FCY or Order)

And while they're at it they should split america into NA and SA. Also having Europe and CIS in one league is kinda massive no wonder they are winning so much. /s

Pacific is not good enough yet.

so LEV and DFM are on the same level?

yeah seems like they really improved in the off season

historically only PRX,DRX,Zeta and Xerxia (Talon) were better than TS

people putting GE over TS are just indian trolls

the venue was the volkswagen arena, which is on the european side of istanbul.

nah you're definetely on that copium

This guy already forgot champions

wait on the TH-PRX match, if TH win that you might have a point but so far this is just wrong

GE fighting!

fpx are like the least likeable top team

found the delusional swabian

it's still the indian subcontinent
