If we see vct indonesia website, for stage 2 it says that there are 2 teams that advance from the APAC playoffs to masters
DiegoMocu [#3]As far as I know, it will be 12 teams again, so, imo, it should be sth like this:
-3 EMEA
-3 BR + LATAM
-3 APAC (including JP)
-2 NA
-1 KR(edited bc lasted 1 spot)
this is the same as this masters but you took away JP's spot and replaced it with nothing
KyLZi [#5]this is the same as this masters but you took away JP's spot and replaced it with nothing
sry, I was supposed to write 3 slots for APAC (inc. JP)
DiegoMocu [#7]sry, I was supposed to write 3 slots for APAC (inc. JP)
why are we not giving a second KR team a chance? Make it like an inter-regional qualifier like for BR-LATAM.
Korean teams like WGS and ONS have done better vs DRX than NiP and Zeta. They deserve a chance too.
Hecking_Love_Tenz [#2]next masters will also have only 12 teams
And nobody bats an eye? Seems like we have shitty standards.

in masters 2 we going to see 16 teams
edit: I tough that we were going to see 16 teams due old info, mb, but what happens with BR/LATAM spot?

1 lcq of JP & KR? I heckin love that
DeluluGavin [#13]1 lcq of JP & KR? I heckin love that
I prefer LCQ between APAC N and S like 2 JP and KR teams compete for the last seed with 2 APAC S something like that but yeah ping problems
Heyheyehyehyehyrhyr [#14]sources?
They said it early year that both Masters 12 teams and champions 16 teams

They did that last time and the second seed from KR ended up not getting a single win in the group stage, no?

yes, mb, I saw an old info XD
ABitDeluded [#17]They did that last time and the second seed from KR ended up not getting a single win in the group stage, no?
maybe cuz the team that qualified wasn't even the 2nd best team in the region? lol tnl vsed vision strikers in the semifinals and there wasn't a losers bracket or anything
OzyMeister [#10]emea is still way better fpx isnt here fnc playing with 2 subs
skill gap is still huge between JP+KR vs rest of regions DRX is the only superteam from that region that puts up a fight
brazil is yet to prove themselves too
"skill gap is still huge between JP+KR vs rest of regions"
yeah, let's ignore how terrible KRU looked in their matches this event
The fact that BR also only have one capable superteam at the moment, similar to KR
That ONS would actually do well in APAC qualifiers and are at least NiP level
And that Zeta is actually starting to perform well and gain their confidence
But nope, KR/JP <<< other regions, pretty sure you're the dude who mentions GE's win over DK in every thread about KR which happened over 6 months ago
raka [#21]next masters BEST format
1 team starts directly in the finals
2 teams start in quarterfinals
8 teams start in group stage
and 1 team gets to spectate and cheer
and i'll be the chair

ABitDeluded [#17]They did that last time and the second seed from KR ended up not getting a single win in the group stage, no?
they've never made a qualifier between KR and JP, you're talking about APAC LCQ, where Korean teams played on Hong Kong (terrible server, riddled with packet loss and instability issues) or had 80 ping and less than a month's practice. As for Nuturn, they actually made a decent run, but they were not the same Nuturn from Iceland. Damwon KIA were the best KR team at LCQ. They were also the same team that had less than a month's practice.
APAC LCQ last year was a fiesta, I think all LCQs besides EMEA was a fiesta last year. Hope they make it a LAN like APAC playoffs this year.

If APAC do better (not including ZETA) I feel like they should have an increased amount. They right now only have 2 and if they prove that they can still compete with the top dogs it should definitely be upped to 3 and BR or LATAM should take the hit for KRU losing off the rip

I feel like all the KR teams are getting mowed down tho when DRX is actually playing to win. Like their first match against onslayers they were playing without strats and they still gave onslayers a run for their money, and then the two other times they played when it actually mattered DRX 13-3 and 13-4 them over and over on all maps

that is 1 too many spots for a region that doesnt have anything going for it. KR should stay at 1 cause the only good team is DRX, i dont think we need to talk about JP, and APAC need one more cause i can tell theyre gonna do good this tourney

nah they didnt give ONS a run, they literally lost 13-3 Icebox. They also went to OT in GF.
Also almost 2-0d by WGS

Ass list. Only 1 to Korea but 2 for Br again?? Most likely they'll take the 3rd slot as well since Latam have no strong team now.
OzyMeister [#31]cant do much about weaklings
damwon literally beat paperrex in LCQ and GE didnt even make it to playoffs stage 1?

no one is ignoring KRU the guys said LATAM and BR combined and with how bad KRU is recently that doesn't need further elaboration
BR is capable of one superteam based on what? I did address BR that they haven't done jackshit to prove themselves yet internationally
you keep bringing all these new names like ONS TNL World Game star but all these teams get shit on by DRX every single time and thats all Ive said earlier too that KR is just a single team region and the rest are way behind and yes maybe ONS does well in APAC but thats not even comparable coz KRJP will not play in APAC South Anymore
Zeta? they got 5 rounds against DRX and managed to beat fnc a team with their best 2 players not playing so idk wtf are you on about when you say the perform well
so its not just KR/JP its BR LATAM along with them too also I never bring up GE its you Koreans who bring it up each time coz yall still mad that DK lost to a dogshit team like GE just look at that archetype guy down below

why u malding lol thought you didnt feel bad.
damwon had high ping and was playing on a dogshit server /shrug.
and like i said in the end this damwon with little practice still got 3rd behind FS and Nth, so not sure what your point is.
also dont forget the 2nd best KR team at the time TNL wasnt even in LCQ lol

Ah yes, it was the server’s fault that KR teams got shit on at LCQ xDDDD good one.
Victorie [#55]Ah yes, it was the server’s fault that KR teams got shit on at LCQ xDDDD good one.
i am deeply sorry that Damwon beat your country's best team (PRX) and got third at the event.
i am sorry nuturn got 3rd at iceland.
i am also sorry that your prediction of zeta 2-0ing DRX ended up horribly wrong.
i am sorry to SEA teams for having toxic fans like you. I support PRX/XIA and also FullSense, but also support KR, i'm sorry you have to talk trash to a region that has proven its competitiveness to boost your own pride.
i am sorry you have a hate boner for KR.
have a good day.

I'd love 2 spots for Korea, that's why Masters should have 16 spots, not 12
Vortexy [#30]Ass list. Only 1 to Korea but 2 for Br again?? Most likely they'll take the 3rd slot as well since Latam have no strong team now.
It will not be easy for BR to take that slot again, at least, it shouldn't be easy. About KR, maybe 2 slots for APAC and 1 for KR + an LCQ between 2nd of KR vs 3rd of APAC

Why would it be hard for Brazil? They have gotten guaranteed 2 spots at every single LAN. At champs they had 3. Like wtf. They’re arguably the worst region right now along with Japan. Yes the last of the 3 spots was in a BR + Latam LCQ, but Latam barely had a say in that. 3 of the 4 best teams were Brazilian and the final was extremely one sided. Literally one is enough for Brazil, but potentially three??

No I was strictly talking about KR's second seed in international play.
ABitDeluded [#62]No I was strictly talking about KR's second seed in international play.
Oh F4Q? Yeah they were considered heavy underdogs because they weren't even the 2nd best team in Korea at the time. TNL didn't make Berlin because of single elim.

That's the only time KR has second seed, so yes, I can only go off from there. Maybe if DRX get better results they will give another 2nd seed for KR.

that's because Leviatan (ex-Australs) are so fkin good but cannot handle the pressure of Grand Finals or other important instances. When they can deal with it, they will get a spot for Masters

so far it's been massive stomp after massive stomp and free spots to Brazil
