No Russian, no Korean, no Chinese national teams
Trying to pick certain players, overruling country's manager decisions for media revenue
Sounds kinda mickey to me.

of course the tournament with the highest potential has the shittiest management
didn't expect them to allow Israel in, with Russia remaining sidelined
it depends on the game
for 1v1 games (sf6, Fatal Fury), Russians are allowed to play under a neutral flag
for team games (valorant, cs2), Russians are not allowed to play
Very unethical tourney, there are players who are just not going to attend because of that
i lost intrest when no korea
clearly mickey event
i might watch when saudi plays but not much more
thank god, it felt like people were getting hyped up for this bs tourney and now their own management is making them mickey
i think its more of an event to see your country represented which i feel like is a good idea (obviously ethical problems) but idk if anyone considered it to be on the same level of a masters
yeah it's like a Overwatch world cup T1.5 still good to have but its a event win not a trophy in valorant terms
yeah this one is mickey without KR CN RUSSIA ngl it already was by vlr standards ig since esports world cups are T1/T2 and every non international is mickey in vlr's eyes
im still excited to see the rosters the other countries come up with tho still good amount of insane national rosters
cn aren't winning but they still could have top tier roster coming into it slowly + edg alone sounds insane let alone other upgrades u could get that i dont know cause i dont watch cn k1ra is nice too lowk
high rating than happywei rn btw stop larping ball knowledge
China has good players js no real good macro
those stats are for the last 60 days? which includes the old meta when they got tanked by T1 and M8
right now, as in this stage, he has a higher rating than happywei
i didnt lie
okay maybe i filtered wrong. but still one is a duelist. just remember that.
They are try hard to be Olympics in Esports.
What's your expectations of this mf first time
we been known that the blood money cups were mickey mouse
EWC/ENC = like a stage 1 trophy
Korea will end up competing once somebody in upper management realises the whole thing loses legitimacy without one of the most important countries attending. The Saudis will simply back down
there is no league cup without korea (or china), would be completely and utterly pointless. you cant run a world cup without the biggest esport
Yeah it is now
Especially ofr league of legends that shit is going to be the mist fraudulent shit ever which an EU tea will most likely win but still fraudulent
I mean it was already going to be a mickey mouse tournament anyways, its just more of one now.
Insane work that you don't see a Russian, Korean or Chinese roster. Also, the fact that the organisation has a say on the teams and other nonsense is ridiculous. It would be neat if someone else could take over the concept, but no one has money like the Saudis to fund these extravagant esports concept tournaments.
Screw the oil america israel bootlicking saudis for trying to interfere with the selection process
