What do you think guys?
ritiknayak [#6]Still not cleared how many slots to masters from APAC Challengers
Atleast 3 for sure
KssS [#9]slot allocation is fine there is an argument for SA-3 and OCE-2 but overall looks nice. Hopefully the regional playoffs will be LAN only so that SA and OCE teams can have a fair shot at making it to masters events
Wait SA got 2 not 3 and OCE 1
Shashwat_Singh [#12]Wait SA got 2 not 3 and OCE 1
yes 2 only. i know it's sad because the SA fanbase is huge but if the 2 SA participants can show up during regionals maybe they will get 3 slots in stage 2 similar to how MYSG got another slot this time around
KssS [#13]yes 2 only. i know it's sad because the SA fanbase is huge but if the 2 SA participants can show up during regionals maybe they will get 3 slots in stage 2 similar to how MYSG got another slot this time around
No i am not sad about the 2 slot thing I misunderstood what you wrote there i thought you said SA got 3
twentyone [#16]no way its going to be a lan
If not then SA,OCE,HK/TW teams (basically 5 teams) are gonna be at a huge disadvantage
Bo0mShell [#20]Then how is Oce gonna play?
They can but they will get like 50-70 ping as far as i know
Shashwat_Singh [#22]They can but they will get like 50-70 ping as far as i know
But if sa plays against Oce both teams would have high ping
Shashwat_Singh [#22]They can but they will get like 50-70 ping as far as i know
OCE's ping is 100 to singapore and around 150 to hk doesnt seem reasonable
Bo0mShell [#23]But if sa plays against Oce both teams would have high ping
True 3 regions are already at a disadvantage it LAN doesn’t happens
Sprouts [#21]I would've liked to see OCE get two slots, with HK/TW or Vietnam losing a slot, but otherwise the slot allocations look fine. Nice to see MY/SG get an extra slot because they definitely deserve it.
Ikr. I never watched the Sea challengers so I don't know how good vietnam is but Oce should get 2 slots. Doesn't seem fair to reduce a slot after what happened last time
ZeR0Xn [#27]Why does TH get slot=VN or ID?? TH have 2 teams in champion but VN don't even have team in LCQ.
What you expect?
KssS [#13]yes 2 only. i know it's sad because the SA fanbase is huge but if the 2 SA participants can show up during regionals maybe they will get 3 slots in stage 2 similar to how MYSG got another slot this time around
Velocity got this.
But only of it's lan. Indian teams are used to playing below 10ping on Mumbai servers living in Mumbai
Bo0mShell [#29]Velocity got this.

Yeah Velocity guys are looking pretty serious
Bo0mShell [#30]VN - 2
OC - 2
Even VN didn't win any Regional tournaments in 2021, they did well in last VCT SEA, 2 teams on Quarterfinals.
.
It's not good to decrease any slot from a Country + VN is the biggest market for Riot (League), no way they will decrease their spot.
.
Better they increase it to 24 teams format, so all 8 regions get equal 3 slots. (Hopefully in Master 2 or 2023)

That's what I was thinking too.
Make it 24 teams
SA - 3
OC - 2
TH - 4
PH - 4
Bo0mShell [#33]That's what I was thinking too.

SA - 3
OC - 2
TH - 4
PH - 4
TH/PH 4????
Nah bro.
SA-3
OCE-3
Wildcard-3 (Merge HK/TW with the rest of SEA countries who didn't have a direct slot Cambodia, Myanmar, Brunei, Laos)
Tamag0 [#34]TH/PH 4????
Nah bro.
SA-3
OCE-3
Wildcard-3 (Merge HK/TW with the rest of SEA countries who didn't have a direct slot Cambodia, Myanmar, Brunei, Laos)
Yeah but some people would have definitely said something like 'Sa and th same slots? Doesn't make sense'
Tamag0 [#34]TH/PH 4????
Nah bro.
SA-3
OCE-3

The wilcard idea is good too. I don't know how good HK and TW players are
Bo0mShell [#26]Ikr. I never watched the Sea challengers so I don't know how good vietnam is but Oce should get 2 slots. Doesn't seem fair to reduce a slot after what happened last time
HK/TW is very bad. VN is fine, they have 1 decent team, but HK/TW have 0 good teams
big_chungus69 [#38]VN -1
OCE +1
also are the other SEA countries allowed to participate? I know they don't have many teams but why doesn't Brunei play in MY/SG and Cambodia/Laos play in TH qualifiers?
fr tho they shouldve integrated brunei with MYSG and Laos & Cambodia with either Thailand or Vietnam
cheaterr [#39]HK/TW is very bad. VN is fine, they have 1 decent team, but HK/TW have 0 good teams
If that's true then why 1 slot Oce?? Wtf
Shashwat_Singh [#22]They can but they will get like 50-70 ping as far as i know
Iirc, a player from VLT Asteria played the Gamechangers event on SGP server from Australia and she used to get like 120+ ping ?
Fhorkom [#46]Since there's a playins before groups, it's possible that the last seed from all 8 region will fight for 4 slot in group stage.
What's play-ins?
