any1 else lowk not excited for champs

too many teams are sneaking into playoffs (100T) and its starting to make me worry about the quality of champs this year, if these teams can make playoffs, I dread to imagine the standard of play at champs.

It is unfortunate that the strongest region (china) is only allowed 4 slots, if you disagree and think another region is better than china, remember the worst chinese team (1-4) dog-walked your region last tournament, I think if champions was just 12 Chinese teams and the pacific top 4, champs would be a lot more competitive and enjoyable to watch, unfortunately this will never happen, because riot has bias towards the SEN + G2 region and freemea, and riot refuse give up their spots to a region that actually might win something.

I'm hoping that I'm wrong, and the piss regions will finally lock in and give us an amazing tournament, but having faith in EMEA and SEN & G2 never bodes well.

Themaniel signing off!

I mean I don't really think Americas have any solid teams to send in their 3rd and 4th slots and the only hope for China sending an overall strong 4 is if EDG and Wolves get the points slots and get revived with time off into their peak forms

Then with Pacific I am incredibly suspect of RRQ. DRX and Talon on the international stage and idk if T1 will be back to their peak by the time Champs rolls around

Liquid FNC and TH are a strong top 3 for EMEA but if the 4th seed ends up being Vitality I think they'll shit the bed a bit. Hoping BBL takes the 4th slot cuz I think they have the best shot on the international stage out of the remaining EMEA teams

If china send EDG and wolves in current form the region is doomed 😭

I also hope they qualify and bounce back with the time off

Also praying vitality doesn’t make 4th seed too

I have a bad feeling MIBR are gonna go, I also really don’t want talon at champs, but unfortunately the alternative to them is DRX, and I would rather buy the TLN bundle than willingly root for DRX to make champs
