Americas 8.5/10 - KRU didn't deserve partnership
EMEA 9/10 - predictably boring team selections but nothing bad
Pacific 6/10 - no DRX is crazy, FS/RRQ are mid orgs to represent SEA again, and 2 JP slots is underserved. glad to see CR back and TS gone though
China 9.5/10 - would have preferred Wolves over TE but the rest are great choices especially XLG
honestly not bad considering riot's track record
think 2 JP slot this way. 4 East Asia (2 KR & 2 JP), 4 SEA.
we need 1 slot for each country on sea or else change pacific to Korea
No need if KR talents keep playing for other APAC orgs.
both ts and ge are exceptions, all the sea teams have 0 rep of their talent js recycling like good goys
no talon, apeks, nor WU L riot
What are you talking about?
4 KRJP + 4 SEA
It is fair
Koreans are T1 and Gen G, Riot know how to maintain good relationship with these orgs. So, there no chance for any korean orgs to get partnership
JP does not deserve as many slots as KR. one has 3 masters while the other has the longest loss streak of any partnered team. 2 JP slots is a handout
you know that riot could bring a tier 3 immo 5stack and find it completely fine as long as they had a big org right
2 is fair for JP. Maybe 3 for KR is just better overall.
kr were are half the players in the league, representation matters but what’s the point if none of the teams are competent enough to compete and make it far in global events
Americas 9/10 - I was expecting new organizations, but I find these choices understandable.
China 9,5/10 - DRG/FPX/WOL > TE
EMEA 7,5/10 - I think we should have a MENA team instead of FUT/BBL, and there should be an organization representing the CIS/DACH region in place of one of the French teams
Pacific 8,5/10 - DRX should be in the spot of one of the Japanese teams; the final team should represent one of the regions not currently represented (PH, OCE, SA, or VN)
I look at the 8 teams selected from china and honestly it looks perfect, like those 8 logos carry so much synergy.
meanwhile I look at pacific and my brain turns upside down, looks messy, crazy racoons, no drx, dfm, nongshim, no south asia team, idk why global and ai startup now.
EMEA, understandable however tier 2 was very good so unfortunate not seeing and of those.
kru is a surprise rest fine ig.
it's not about deserve and never has been about deserving, it's about the countries that bring the money and the viewership and unfortunately as shit as they are Japan more than deserves two slots
