Fuck it im saying it. In every tournament they are making all turkish players face each other early and got eleminated by each other. There is a huge discrimination, in every major event this happened. At least give acend to another side so we can cheer for a player. This is fucking bs

No. There is not a conspiracy against turkish teams. Stop with this victimization shit. It is getting ridiculous.

Turkish scene should be thankful for the opportunity RIOT is giving them by competing as a region of it's own. Show some decency and respect.

So? They could still be treated as part of EU? Do you think countries like Germany, France or Spain deserve a separate path to VCT with it's own seeds and such? Well, no. That's what I'm trying to say.
Turkey should be thankful RIOT is taking them into consideration.

Your comment makes no sense. The only other time two TR teams have faced each other in EMEA was stage 2, and even then it was unavoidable because there were 3 teams split between 2 groups. Also, now a TR team has a better chance of qualifying because I don't think both SMB and BBL have a good chance of going deep anyway to be completely honest.

All rematches

"EMEA League" just for Gambit/FPX to play against Navi once again, for SMB to play against BBL once again...

They must've made a rule where TR#1 should be in the same group as CIS#2 and vice versa

I mean technically BIG are seed 2 and G2 are seed 3, because BIG qualified earlier... Doesn't matter that it was from lowers.

But it was done from seeding pools randomly anyway.

why dont they just switch the 2nd TR spot with the second CIS spot so the regions are split up more?

Team Liquid = Acend
Gambit > Fnatic
Big < Guild
LDN = G2
FPX > SMB
Navi = BBL
For me its balanced

Well I could see that but imo is
TL < Acend
LND < G2
FPX = SMB

The groups should be:
Group A: Gambit, Liquid, Guild, Excel/LDN, FPX and Fut/BBL
Group B: Acend, Fnatic, BIG, G2, NaVi/5MOKES and SMB
This would make much more sense since GMB was the EMEA #1 seed at Champs, Acend was #2, Fnatic was #3 and Liquid was #4. Guild would be the 5th seed EU team since they won the 1st close qual, then BIG because they were the other team to qual from the 1st closed qual, then G2, and then Excel/LDN. Then in the 1 group you put the CIS 1 seed and TR 2 seed and the reverse for the other group.

Nothing worse then protected status because of possible nationality match up in draw, like with the Champions League. Good thing Riot dont go that route and we can have same country matches

They could've just separate the same region teams so they could actually play against the other regions. But Riot consistently make it wrong. In Berlin Supermassive Blaze got into same group with acend which is in same region. Only Lost to Acend and got eliminated. And now they sucked at this drawn as well what can i say it stating to feel its intentional

Unlucko seeding, but if I calculated this correctly, the odds for 3 CIS and 2 TR grouped like that were 1 to 16, so pretty low.
