India, Oceania, MENA, Turkey - NoT MaStErS WoRtHy ReGiOnS
Meanwhile Brazil and Japan who suck at every event so far - yeah let's give them 2 each, they definitely deserve it

I'm trying to understand your thinking

im not even saying ind>jap or otherwise i just want one spot MASTERS is a world event that is necessary for getting circuit points and a world event should have the whole world so that we get exposure

There are not enough slots for all regions, CIS has 0 as well, Turkey has 0, if SA teams perform well they will get their own slot sooner or later. If anything, we need larger regions, I don't understand why EMEA gets such a treatment when Korea and Japan combined have the same number of slots as we do but any top 10 EMEA team would easily qualify from JP/KR, it would be way better to have macro regions like APAC(with 5 slots including south asia,sea and kr/jp), South America with 3 slots etc instead of what we have now.

asking for a MASTERS slot is shameless

And why would they ? KR scene is already recognised by riot and they would easily provide them 2 slots for champions 2022, thats how good their region is

if you seriously believe SA should be gifted a slot to MASTERS after that performance you must be lying to yourself

actually shameless i would literally be embarrassed to say that shit, it's like begging for handouts at that point

if they handedly beat f4q it MIGHT be excusable but like this? get a reality check

#17

so u r expecting a team with no international exposure to beat a team single handedly , just say that f4q should have beaten ge single handedly which they weren't able to

If developing regions dont have international exposure they will always fall behind. Look at Latam and Japan. They did not perform as well in first masters with 1 slot but in berlin they improved so much.

how can they even ask after getting embarrassed , but I m. proud of my team, that they showed they are better than 3-4 seed Korean teams...where they got 2 slots to masters

look i know you're excited for your team and all

but when will people understand that winning an online bo3 does not tell you which team is "better"

do you think people were saying bbg or andbox were better than sentinels when they beat them

you determine quality of team from CONSISTENT RESULTS
which only korea has provided thus far in ALL of apac
do you get it?

As a Korean, I agree that SA deserve a masters slot

But don’t attack the KR region tho, people gotta stop acting like the entire region is terrible except for VS

Just because VS are so much better then anything else in the region doesn’t mean the rest of the KR is weak

VS are just miles above anything produced by Asia so far, making the rest of the region look weak when compared, so I think it’s kind of an over statement to call VS “Korea’s life saver”

GE is pretty good, I want to see them more in the future along with other teams from the region but the problem with saying they are able to compete with SEN just because they beat a team who took a map off of sen or smth is a bit of a stretch for me at least. Every team has their off days and their cracked days. I agree though GE shows that the region has a lot of promise and potential. Always felt bad that basically the entire region got screwed in csgo bcz of one lone actor and hopefully riot can continue to give these regions more chances.

Downvote me, IDC.
DWG were looking to make roster changes. The players didn't even know they would be playing in LCQ until recently.
You guys did get rolled by PRX.
It was nice to see GE almost beat F4Q, but they were completely reshuffling the roles on their team.

Asking for a slot directly to masters in absurd.

Something like 3~4 slots for every APAC qualifier in 2022 sounds about right.

even I dont agree with a direct slot to masters , we dont even deserve. but 2-3 slots or circuit points in sea combined maybe alright

You guys DEFINITELY deserve slots in SEA/APAC. GE did have a nice showing. Don't let anyone take that away from you. I really liked what I saw. If the other SA teams are this good, they will have a good shot at getting though qualifiers.
But the guys above arguing for a slot in MASTERS are outta their minds.

south Asia don't want to wait another year to even get a chance at playing internationally. If you want to combine south Asia into an emea-esque APAC then APAC would need 3-4 slots like emea. which is literally more absurd then giving south Asia and OCE 1 slot each

1 slot in masters = outta their minds but then korea deserves 2 slots for what? Nuturn got 13-0'd too and GE almost took down the next 2 teams in Korea also imagine being so retarded to judge a region with 7 countries based on ONE team and 3 games

korea deserves 2 slots for what?

getting third at the first international LAN event over an EU and NA representative, and getting out of the hardest group at the second international LAN, beating the #2 EMEA team and only losing to the eventual champions?

???????????????????????????????????????? are you dumb in the head????

that's all VS not and VS is leaps above the rest of the Korean scene this is why by same logic Korea should have 1 slot and not 2 and if Korea deserves 2 slots South Asia deserves 1 slot too

giving SA 4 slots in a combined APAC region (similar to emea I think you mean) is much more absurd than 1 masters slot

Not disrespecting SA region. But wouldn’t it be better if they join a regional VCT like SEA for example. The whole reason GE is doing this good is because they knew the only way to qualify to a major (in this case Champions), is to fight their way through the APAC LCQ. If they decide to just skip over regional VCT and straight to a major this would mean that there would be less competition especially where the only dominant force in SA is only VLT and GE itself. It would be like Japan 2.0 where CR and Zeta is dominating , where in theory they are really good but since the lack of competition in VCT itself they fell easily in international competition.

Absolutely. Which is why I'm also in favour of a merger between KR and JP, competition boosts the representatives the teams send.

im worried if they immerge with SEA, teams like team xo, enigma, te cant compete as well as ge for example, theyre good team but sorry to say sea competition is on another level of tightness even x10 couldnt make it out of the group stages of vct masters berlin sea qualifiers. the throne holder for each event is changing everytime so idk about SA in with SEA

#57

The problem with SEA/SA is our subregions are way too small - only limited to 1/2 countries. We need bigger subregions, or do away with subregions altogether to allow for more quality competition without delimiting who we need to play.

Also, EMEA is absolutely massive with a lot of great teams, the competition is cutthroat there, which is why their teams perform a lot well in international events. I don't think high competition is necessarily a bad thing.

Here’s my take, rito is small indie company and gives slots based on viewership, so why not give a slot to the region with the second (and I think Pakistan is like 6th? Correct me) biggest populations in the world? I get that sa isn’t amazing but japan wasn’t amazing at first too and look at how much they improved from international exposure - they nearly took a map off gambit!

Arguments for giving south Asia a slot:

  • brings exposure
  • encourages upsets
  • grows esports in the region.
    Arguments against giving south Asia a slot:
    "they haven't proven themselves yet guys OMG🤓🤓🤓"

Actually next year probably every region will have at least 1 spot in Masters.

2 EMEA
2 NA
2 KR
2 BR
2 SEA
2 JPN
2 CN
2 SA
2 LATAM
2 MENA
2 CIS
2 TR

especially if masters becomes 24 teams, SA might not have many super strong teams (no offence to the region as a whole) BUT they deserve as spot as SA represents a large community, multiple countries and would bring in a lot of viewership. idk if they will get 2 but 1 should be justified for sure

For the next champions or masters if they decide to have play-ins they will most likely give spots to minor regions for that
