He don't give a fuck about EWC lol.
Okay. This is obviously ragebait but I'll bite. Let's say EDG made it out of the group stage. Their Stage 2 league starts in 8 days, how would they prepare?
yo bro you are saying this as an EMEA fan
do you not see how washed our region is
Disagree, they've missed internationals before, Stage 1 was their first regional win in over a year.
Yeah but they're back in form again, it's not like last yeah when their 5th player was changing every few games
Yeah but they're also clearly trying to find themselves still. I hope Smoggy comes back soon in good shape though, they might've done better in London if he wasn't suffering from his wisdom tooth inflammation.
how are teams that make it deep into this tourney supposed to get ready for stage 2 lmaooo
Yeah it's fucked. Every team here in ewc have their stage 2 game in like 12 days at minimum. If they make it far here with traveling time added they will have like 4 days maybe before stage 2 game lol.
China VCT starts earlier than everyone else emea they all play in Germany its not far from Paris
Yup yup. EWC fucked shit up for VCT. That's why theres no lower bracket in Playoffs, they got to finish and rush things quick which is very unprofessional. Fuck EWC.
I mean he didn't even stand up or scream a single round this ewc. He shows more excitement in a regional stomp game lol.
Well kinda true, Chinese teams dont care about these as much. BBL played good, EDG will do good in later tourneys

^ EDG letting their coach as a sub instead of getting a dedicated one, playing troll comps and not using a time out for this insane prizepool

VCT CN starts in 3 days btw
Chinese orgs dont need short term money like EWC, they care much more about the long term money in the fans. Doing well in champs brings in way more money than EWC ever could
