Bro just invented the triple sentinel meta

Last years seed #1 faces the last seed, both teams are lucky or unlucky depending on what the other team did in the off season, not what they did the season before. The last seed probably has one of the easiest match ups in this case. That is pretty random

FNC sort of tried that a couple years ago with their triple smoker + breach, sova. Not the judge part but the smoking the shit out of everything part. It didn't work very well

As you said the seeding is kinda pointless because teams are different than last year. But what's even more pointless is to complain about it, what's the difference between a pointless seeding and a random draft? Both are random

Idk but someone change that fucking cross, it's the worst logo I've ever seen

What about all 55 players in CN

And most importantly, KPI !!!

I've got 365 vlr pages, it can't be that hard

Format is weird because an 11 team league is complicated. But it's not really a matter of dates because Lock in last year ended early March while Masters Madrid this year ends mid March. So the difference is not very big

Also important to notice that, next season will start at the end of 2024 instead of 2025 to be able to space things out more in the future

It’s not a split. Take it as if instead of the Lock in last year, this year we have masters Madrid, instead of all 30 teams, it’s only 8 teams, but teams have to qualify through kick off.

Basically Kickoff + Madrid = Last years Lock in

We’ll then have 2 splits, another masters and champs
That being said the format is indeed weird, but the with Riot making 11 team tournaments is not easy

Well all I'm saying is they need to be objective things to measure an organization's value to franchising, and that is quite hard to do because I'm also sure orgs demanded guarantees. Ig we do not know and we won't any time soon either

But how does a clause determine if a team is "trying to win" or not? There are minimum salaries, you can't kick someone out for paying them, it wouldn't be the minimum if it wasn't enough. Plus EG isn't the only org paying minimums

There is a minimum salary of something around 40/50k a year for players if I am not mistaken, a coach and someone to post stuff on social media. That's the minimum, other than that I believe teams get more money depending on other factors, but regardless, the minimum is easy to cover

It was just a stand in as sixth for the off season

Fair enough

They can, but why would EG wanna do that

Another really good team for Ascension

Jady, Unfake, bramz, lux9, babax

I haven't watched babax ngl but the other 4 are very very good

Why in the world would EG want out of a league that guarantees them about a million dollars when they can make roster that cost less than that. But yeah I mean if they wanna disband Riot can't force them

I suppose in that case Riot probably does have the right to replace them with someone else, but I don't think the information of how that would work is public. But I doubt the whole org dissolves, they'll cut expenses but I don't think completely disappear. Riot will probably have clauses to avoid it we just don't know which or how

I'm afraid that's not how it works. EG can't be kicked until the summer of 2026

Idk if it's true but I mean only 2 of the 3 are making it to Masters anyway. It sucks that is this early but is not like someone worse will qualify instead

Ofc it's Avova, it makes sense xD

Tbf Wolves and EG are very related so wouldn't even be that weird if they had the same strategy xD

A 19 year old player who's barely ever played on tier 2 before plays his first ever LAN event with a team that is forced to win and against a foreign crowd. What did you really expect

Keep it up bro, grande

There are gonna be many games like this, league is extremely close, we have 5/6 that could win it

Not the start you would have hoped for for CASE xD

But KPI has had full Russian rosters before is what I'm saying

Yes but it's not a new thing, they have been signing Russians for quite a while

KPI's strategy has been genius for quite a long time. They're a smaller org and it's the only reason they have stayed relevant.

It's normal to get banned for different languages most corporate streams are the same, but even if they don't ban you for language they ban you for other random shit xD

Lol, KPI has the whole gang backing them up. Do hope it goes well this year. I’ve always liked KPI since they made the first Russian roster

Mods do suck, nobody really uses that chat anyway

Most spanish orgs are owned by football players surprisingly, they have more or less implication depending tho
Case is Casemiro
AYM is from AYMeric Laporte
RBT is Parejo and Morata I believe
Last year we had Rebels from De Gea and Bruno Fernandes and Falcons from Azpilicueta

AYM is Laporte's team. Idk which of the 2 is more retired

Por cierto solo como consejo para decir resumen probablemente es mejor utilizar la palabra summary o verbo summarization. Resume se escribe igual pero significa otra cosa, algo así como continuar. Lo digo porque yo tambien he hecho ese error unas cuantas veces xD

He was the mvp for last split actually. Well not really cause MiniBoo kinda robbed it cause Case is more popular, but he was definitely the most impactful player in the league

good job

apeks is there still right? I thought there were going to the east but apparently not

It was a last minute thing actually. KOI took grubinho last minute so UCAM went into the market like 2 weeks ago. Link was surprisingly FA

Well it's a better team than RBT owners and AYM owner xD

Great first game. This 2 should be the 2 main title contenders

I didn't know that ty
But he was there for a very short period of time right?

I agree. I do know why they kept him tho, apparently he’s like prime yay on every scrim, just not on officials. I also think there were better options

First OT of the league

Sure but that's not the point. When your goalkeeper is trash what do you do? You sign a less trash keeper or you get a really good striker to make saves? No matter how trash he is you need a goalie if you not what I mean

Come watch the CASE vs UCAM, two favorites to win the spanish league playing in their debut, gonna be a great match. Onur build Case's roster and UCAM has some very good talents

El projecto de KOI se ha hecho mal, sin dinero y sin atención por culpa de la fusion. Lo positivo es que todo el mundo espera que sean últimos asi que van sin presión, yo creo que serán mejores de lo que parece, pero nada internacional, playoff como mucho

I don't like Neil much but I think they will be better than people expect. I see more potential in them than in KC but Engh is clearly the better coach. We'll have to see

Yeah it doesn't make any sense, if they wanted to maintain patitek the only logical choices would be 1 for 1 in place of Riens, or MiniBoo out Woot duelist. But I don't think it makes any sense

Crazy how Brazil has produced so many great players but not any good IGL's
