#risetrain

They have to scrim a lot right? I wonder who comes out on top most of the time.

Gott be yay right?

edit: NA copium

Animaniacs, Dexter's Lab, and the Simpsons (does that not count here?).

I don't expect anything less than an absolute banger.

That's true but the group stages are much longer, it's much more difficult for the smaller teams to qualify for the round of 16.

I feel like it just makes sense. I'll always root for my favorite team's rivals until they play my team. I want the opposition to be as good as possible to make our wins (or losses) against them even sweeter. I feel like this mentality continually makes a region better and, even more importantly, influences how the meta progresses in general.

How much money have you spent on skins?

Just imagine a #1 team's morale when they draw Gambit.

Not sure where it should go, but yes Japan should not have 2 slots. Maybe another SEA or SA team? Or a playoff between SA, SEA, and KR really.

Haha yes, good answer!

Which of these two ideals do we think is more important to society?

For me it's peace.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd...Sinatraa has 9k viewers right now...

So so sad. I wonder if any other EU countries (including those not within the European Union) could've hosted them and then they could've played remotely from wherever and still had a decent ping. This is just the worst.

According to Google:

Population of Japan: 126.3 million
Population of Korea: 51.71 million (hard to argue Japan is better than Korea skill wise)
Population of Brazil: 211 million
Population of the rest of South America: 211.5 million

My guess is that it's probably just in the best interest of Japan and Korea as they both get 2 slots as opposed to SA which only gets 3 total.

*Edited (originally said SA only gets 1 on accident thinking of LATAM only getting 1 team in)

The entire Sentinels team will float out on small clouds somehow dense enough to support their weight. When they get to their chairs, the clouds will part, easing them to the ground. The clouds will then shoot up and engulf their entire bodies and swirl about violently before settling again just above their heads The clouds will remain there throughout the match and will only ever be dispersed if Sentinels lose.

S: Sentinels, Gambit, SMB, Acend
A: 100Thieves, Vivo Keyd, Envy, Vision Strikers, G2
B: Havan Liberty, Crazy Raccoon, Bren, F4Q, Zeta Division
C: Paper Rex, Kru

Rankings 1-16.

I think you posted while I was editing!!! Did not mean for that to be sarcastic. Thank you for your input! I'm seriously not joking! <3 <3 <3 (Edit: I edited it only because I saw your comment as soon as I posted my edit :). ]

YUUUUUUP! Go straight for the head of the beast! I literally posted that as an edit 2 to my previous comment but deleted it as soon as I saw your comment. The power of team thinking!

Exactly! I mean no matter what Rise would've gotten Sen but it I feel like it would certainly create some drama with whoever TSM picked! I mean the winner are obviously going to pick the team they think is the weakest. (Edit*: Also, I'm sorry if someone else has posted this idea before!!!!)

There were many of us today who watched TSM vs FaZe and, while the game was exceptionally entertaining and downright hilarious at moments, it wasn't necessarily played in the utmost competitive spirit of the game. Not saying that's always a bad thing but can't imagine it's ideal for Riot. Maybe if the winner of these secondary stages got to pick where they went in the Challengers Playoffs bracket instead it would be better?

TSM very good but this is not normally...

Ohhhhh the Pioneers underdog run possible!
