people upset about DRX, MIBR, and TH qualifying are dumb af

Champions is supposed to be a showcase of the best teams of the entire year and the truth is all three teams were better than their counterparts for majority of the year. I mean what’s the point in it being a circuit if you just ignore everything from the past?

not to mention the points awarded literally scale greater throughout the year and there are 2 entire Cinderella slots open in Stage 2 to help low point teams. if your team didn’t make it that’s on them, should’ve played better

also here are the H2H records across the year
C9 2-4 MIBR
BBL 3-6 TH (3-8 if you count EWC)
TLN 2-3 DRX

a team that has been good across multiple metas should make champs, hence why g2 have and vitality havent (i agree with you)

You won’t be saying this if NRG didn’t win yesterday match and instead c9 made it so be happy you made it
EDIT - You cannot defend anyone of these teams people will still excuse TH for being group merchants and going 5-0 which is impressive but how are you gonna defend Drx And mibr when one didn’t showed up at all the entire time and the other trolling just because their coach ego is so inflated that he didn’t care about his team wincon rather picks enemy maps and then got obliterated by RRQ

Is it that weird to want the best teams RIGHT NOW playing together in a tournoment?

so kru going to champs 2023 after going 0/9 in regular season was just fine because they had momentum for a single bracket

doesnt matter if all nine previous games are rendered totally irrelivant they're okay right now so they can go to champs and get grouped

i mean yeah, if kru (who got grouped) beats the other teams, what makes you think they would have performed better

it’s not weird however that would make champions just a 3rd masters when it’s meant to be a culmination of all of 2025

I agree a lot with u

The system rn is perfect, champions is a tournament where the best teams in the entire year play.

The competition where the best teams in the moment play are both masters.

MIBR doesn't really deserve it, they only did good in stage 1 and even then they only got 3rd place.

TH does deserve it tho, they went 5-0 in both stages and got 2nd place on stage 1 (stupid curse again lmao but tbf fnc was unstoppable at that time) while yeah they had a really bad kickoff (and internationals) they compensated by playing really good on the last 2 stages and even then they barely qualified.

you're just braindead if you put MIBR qualification at the same level as TH's

There are always going to be people complaining about one format, and there will always going to be people complaining about the other format. At the end of the day there is always somebody complaining.
Even tho I agree with you on all of that, you're basically talking to a brick wall anyways. If you're trying to make a point to some kids in the internet then you're better off going to the gym or do something else.
Play val or some shit idk. Just trying to help you

I could agree, but they are some fact that I would express :

  • H2H is the worst metric ever, especially since that can create some situation of, where if you would have loose a kickoff game you could have go to champs, and winning a specific kickoff game take you out.
  • MIBR with a normal tiebreaker rule, would have been out
  • We could give argument about the point system being a little bit weird, and with a really small change, we could have a GEN or a Talon in with how close this is

MIBR doesn't deserve their slot simply because VCT AMER use different tiebreaker compared to three other regions. That's far from consistency, that's just special treatment. Can't refers to consistency of a team when their qualification depends on the inconsistency of the system. Their slots have less legitimacy compared to TH and DRX.
