in a esport scene with such a shit amount of games to watch for the public, you have to be a complete idiot to not count EWC as a major tournament to win
It might as well be as prestigious as a regional win in terms of "mattering"
Like yea man, you won EWC, greeaaaaat.
This tournament still has the best teams in the worlds plus you get a life changing amount of money to win so yes you have to count it as winning something valuable
but objectively it isnt mickey and should be counted as a valid trophy
S-Tier btw. 2mil prize pool
i dont get tired of it cuz it actually is a valid trophy
In theory yeah but in practice its political slop a lot of players would skip if it werent for that big chud ass prize pool
just tired of this bs cause it makes TH look like clowns when people defend it. Like yeah it had a bit of prestige to it cause of prize pool and wtv but its not the same as a VCT international
