NA has 8 teams, and the qualifiers will last 4 days, EMEA has 12 teams, and the qualifiers will last 10 days. Which one is better in your opinion and why?

very obviously EU, when the games have this much weight teams should never be forced to play 2 in one day

I think single elim like korea might honestly be better if it meant teams didn't have to play twice in one day tbh

EMEA only has 12 teams because there are also turkey and CIS feeding into it, while for NA it isn't possible to have such a large playoff unless we want to include literally every t1 team + t2 teams

NA needs to have closed qualifier in-between opens and Challengers (with 8 auto-invited top-seeded teams like in EU / TR / CIS), feels like teams which win Chal.1 opens are getting too much advantage (they are proceed to Chal. 1, and if they lose there, Chal. 2 spot is guaranteed for them too).

Remember BBG? One fluke win over SEN and they didn't even need to grind opens anymore.

I agree with the first part but Ithink single elim is never a good format.

Compared to EMEA, NA is a smaller region coz it doesn't include other sub-regions like CIS and Turkey who also have been given EMEA slots,

How is single elim better in a qualifier? Sure when only one team goes thru its aight but 2 teams qualify. What if the best 2 or 3 teams are on the same side of the bracket. Also EMEA format sucks u win first match then lose and your back to were u were. The schedule is better tho

It doesnt matter if there is a sub region because north amerika is huge. Rather MEEA just has more players. Saying mor regions makes no sense u can combine ocenia with latam and stilm get way less pöayers then NA

well yea I mean that's true but idk teams having to play 15 minutes after a super close match with overtimes etc where the other team has been sitting there watching for the last 4 hours is just super cringe
