They'll get more viewership with a merged T2 league tho

Sure, kinda like in 2021 and 2022

With the dropoff in EU VCLs' viewership, the gap between (some) leagues' best and worst teams, and the fact that EU countries/regions are obviously closer to each other, there's a necessity for a region-wide T2 league, while keeping VCLs as the 3rd division.

Here's my suggestion for how it could work.
16 teams, 2 splits with playoffs and an ascension playoff at the end, all except the Ascension playoff played online (sorry TR and MENA)

For 2024, it would be all the teams from Ascension (the 2 losers of the playin groups with better score would play a Bo1/Bo3 shootout match, with the winner making it in, and the loser would play a Bo5 decider against the other group loser.)

Both splits would have 2 single round robin groups, with an 8 team DE playoff, and both splits would award points.

Winners or both splits' playoffs would play the Ascension playoff, and the other 2 teams would be decided via the point rankings. (Not sure when that is, but at some point apparently 2 teams are supposed to be promoted from Ascension, so when that happens, the Ascension playoff, would expand from 4 to 6, 4 of the teams via point rankings.)

For the first split of each year, the worst 2 teams would play a Bo5 decider, the loser playing the Mid-Season Relegation along with 9 VCL winners, playing for one spot in Split 2.

For Split 2, the 3 worst teams from each group would go to Relegation, and the 5th placed teams would play a Bo5 decider, with the loser also playing Relegation. Joined by the 9 VCL winners, they would play for X spots for next year's Split 1.

(The number of spots would vary, for 2025, there would be 8 spots, for 2026 there would be teams returning from VCT, and then later when 2 teams start getting promoted, a different number of spots again.)

Alternatively, in Turkey and MENA could have their own leagues to avoid ping issues.

Thanks for your attention

I'm still glad that he didn't go to saudi at least, in the MLS there's at least some passion compared to only money in saudi

rest in peace🕊️💔

What the fuck are those bullshit tb rules????

Why does h2h map diff not matter in a 3way tie??

Why do h2h results not matter at all in 4+ way tie and h2h map and round diff are after regular map and rd diff????

have The Guard clinched 2nd place in this split with this result?

why was it not officially streamed?

how do i share my pickem lol?

Idk about most, but just about everyone would beat eg

i know, it's just it's very rare that he does have an off game. also fut is a top 4 team in my opinion anyway

i mean ur not wrong, but unfortunately for other teams, they're not playing against vitality without twisten

no way giants are making it in over vitality

So good they can 2-0 in a bo1

I am think Twisten will carry Vit to a victory

i'd take lockin as my only trophy over Proving Grounds $20k - Spring 2022 any day

I agree with the EU-wide T2 league solution with regional T3 leagues

cs2 child game.... look to cartoon grapfix to make kid player happy like children show.. cs2 cartoon world with rainbow unlike valarante with dark corridorr and raelistic gun.. cs2 like playhouse. cs2 playor run from valarante fear of dark world and realism

some leagues have a points system where points from both splits qualify you for ascension, while in other regions.. it is actually useless

W

Yeah Russia probably won't be invited

derke

no

i think i just lost 97% of my braincells just by reading this

I believe it's because unlike Valorant, CS isn't oficially streamed in China

unless he would only start next split, he's already playing for Human Tripwires in Polaris

is he allowed to play for two different teams in one vcl split?

not to mention that by the looks of things, some (most?) pac leagues are not using a points system for their splits, but instead just invite the top x teams from split 1 to split 2, basically rendering split 1 useless anyway

i think that mr1 ot is the worst thing riot could've ever done for their comp scene. i'd say it's fine for ranked, but cmon man, make it at least mr2 in pro play

idk g2 as an org is pretty unlikeable tho.

tbh faze as an org is waaaaay worse than g2

man im so conflicted on wheter i love or hate g2... I hate shahzam and the g2 org, but i love wippie and penny

lmaoooo

ok. anyways, guard is winning ame

lmaoooooo

nah bro they ain't cooking shit

anyone who doesn't think grd are the top favorites in na vcl either forgot how good they were in the first half of 2022 or is just delusional

I mean according to this mena is still going ahead

Wdym swap?

Wow, no way dude a (former?) pro was farming in the first round of an OQ

yea i dont think riot can facilitate that

I don't doubt that, I was referring to the fact that mena teams wouldn't (falcons going on 2-10 maps and -51 on rounds in vct promotion and vrl finals)

ok nvm this wouldn't work either, did the math and that's also 100+ games

this would realistically work, but riot doesn't want to do even A/B streams, they definitely woulnd't do A/B/C/D

not sure if you realize this, but riot is not working with the same budget as fifa and can't just host a tournament with 90+ games

yeah but there's a chance the chinese teams will put up a fight in at least one map tho

that's the tradeoff you have to make if you want a 32 team tournament with no prior seeding stage

what format do you suggest for 32 fucking teams
