Surely ewc fans not gonna mind bombing out with prep for ewc excuse.
I guess ewc bots left coz we aren't getting ewc is a major , ewc > master 2 threads.
Champs gonna have the new map, diff patch, form after stage 2 etc. Why wait till champs to test out the newly Toronto winner team back in game. There's a perfect 16 team turney with international teams to test it on same patch etc. Best part is there's more teams competing like FNS-less NRG, 100T, DRX and EDG playing.
Not baiting, Genuine Question:
Do u want the Toronto winner played like 2025 Pacific Playoff Stage 1 T1 after Bangkok at EWC? or
Do you want the Toronto winner played like 2023 Masters Tokyo FNATIC after they won LOCK IN Brazil at the EWC?
I'd rather see 2023 FNC form Masters Toronto team playing at EWC.
I hate seeing good teams playing like shit cause of neglectful attitude of not taking the games seriously and people giving them excuse card "Mickey Mouse/Saving Strats etc"
Yes, the schedule is 2 weeks after Toronto finish + format is in Liquipedia.

If EWC played in different patch as Toronto its understandable to have less time to prepare AFTER resting.
From viewer perspective, would you rather see Toronto winner team perform like Post Bangkok T1 or like Masters Tokyo FNC, simple as that.
