the 3 qualified EMEA tier 2 teams for playoffs all have at least 1 player under 18, and i think its the laws in china preventing them from competing.
who can substitute, does it have to be a completely free agent or someone from tier 2 or can it be a tier 1 player that was eliminated in playins if there contract ends in 2026 anyway. like if Fire Flux or any other challengers team make champs could a player like alfajer fill that spot.
because of 2 slots being points its not possible, unfortunately we will likely get the fraudulent vitality who only won matches against regionals + drg at london

"Fut is not a bad a team." Okay, Vitality also beat them though? Vitality had no control over who they played at London.
VIT also clears EDG (EDG got a free bracket to top 3 with lucky seeding from playoffs draw). VIT also makes top 3 with EDG's bracket instead of being top 4.
I feel like Vitality is more fraudulent because it is a superteam, and their acheivments have been underwhelming for the players signed and the amount invested, and the situation in CN has always been that way (basically an entire region forced to use a small pool of players making it hard to form an actually decent team) so there isn't that much hope on EDG anyway
EDG is more fraudulent since China got an extra week to prep (compared to emea and pacific) and EDG got lucky with the playoffs draw (second pick).
I prolly think paize and wanzeru will get picked eventually irrespective of their contracts
I believe they can sign anyone who didn't make champs but I believe iluri said EP are looking to get Pa1ze if they make champs
SGE jamelhino: good but not irreplaceable a player like pa1ze would be perfect
EP kozzy: ngl except marteen there is no player who can replace him who don’t go at champ. not sur M8 want to load him tbh
FF kachoww: same as kozzy but need a turkish player so there is no good choice
woot might be willing to join or meiy lol go meiy kill strat works everytime
you are right but not a lot of player can play entry like kozzy. playing a double duelist systeme with lime entry and marteen second duelist would be another option. paize also good
