1. Old vs New Masters region seed allocation

Old:

  • 3 EMEA (1 directly to playoffs)
  • 3 SA (1 directly to playoffs)
  • 2 NA (1 directly to playoffs)
  • 2 APAC (1 directly to playoffs)
  • 1 KR
  • 1 JP

New:

  • 3 EMEA (1 directly to playoffs)
  • 3 Americas (1 directly to playoffs)
  • 3 Pacific (1 directly to playoffs)
  • 2 CN teams
  • 1 LOCK//IN winners (EMEA wins it, makes EMEA has 4 slots)

2. Last vs Current Masters team's region representation

Last Masters (Copenhagen 2022):

  • 2 LATAM teams (KRÜ and LEV)
  • 2 North American teams (XSET and OpTic)
  • 2 EU teams (Guild and Fnatic)
  • 1 CIS team (FPX, I separate them because FPX comes from the CIS circuit)
  • 1 BR team (LOUD)
  • 1 KR team (DRX)
  • 1 JP team (Northeption)
  • 1 MY/SG team (PRX)
  • 1 TH team (Xerxia)

Current Masters (Tokyo 2023)

  • 3 EU teams (NAVI, FNC, TL)
  • 2 KR teams (T1 and DRX)
  • 2 NA teams (NRG and EG)
  • 2 CN teams (ASE and EDG)
  • 1 BR team (LOUD)
  • 1 MY/SG team (PRX)
  • 1 TR team (FUT)

I guess the reason why Tokyo feels like the best tournament yet because there are no slots for "weak region" like that 3rd seed for SA, 2nd seed for APAC, and a seed for JP. And more teams from Korea and Europe.

EMEA got a extra slot from last year
So can Pacific win now?

yeah true I guess, but I feel like this is the first tournament where there's 7 teams in a tournament that I wouldn't be surprised if they win the tournament

NAVI if they get their shit together

EG if they get a good bracket and run into counter-strattable teams and good rest time.

EDG is not gonna win but I think getting out of groups is a win for CN and I would not be incredibly surprised if gekko op catches one or two teams off guard
