Sad but expected, with orgs like Optic, FaZe, NRG, EG, C9, TSM, 100T, V1, TGrd, T1, and SEN along with CLG, Misfits, and G2 all trying to get a slot, you can’t expect smaller orgs to make the cut. I really like Drone though :(

Benkai - Initiator + IGL
yay - Sentinel
MaKo - Smokes
Alfajer - Duelist
Keznit - Flex

Sad times, I really like Drone :(

Hey Netero! I've only started watching some anime with those being fma brotherhood, jjk, and mushoku tensei. Any recommendations? I've also seen some of Ranking of Kings with friends

On a side note, they made it to the 3rd phase of franchising, so they aren't doing to bad as an org

How do you feel about Gen.G probably moving to APAC?

They should’ve picked somewhere in the US for masters, I don’t know what they were thinking hosting the first crowd in Denmark

We have good players though? It's just a lot of them are scattered on JP teams:
Astell (CR), Suggest (DGW), HSK (DGW), iNTRO (ex-E36), 10X (ex-E36), Medusa (RC), JoXJo (NTH), Meteor (NTH), eKo (RIG), and Foxy9 (RIG)
KR pumps out plenty of talent and coaches, there just aren't any orgs to sign them outside of Japan. Again, I think 2 slots is plenty, but lack of talent won't be an issue if we get 3-4.

I think the best slot allocation with this news would be:
3 JP
2 KR
1 CN
4 SEA
1 OCE
1 SA

Flyquest

They aren’t confirmed to be out, that list wasn’t one hundred percent correct and was most likely missing other orgs

I’m not defending Riot giving 3-4 slots, but you’d have to imagine Riot would rather invest in organizations that are keeping their current best game alive over those that are funding the game they are currently trying to sue

Sayf also said in a clip that the list was incorrect because Guild are apparently still in the running, but you never know with organizations not informing their players properly

Sadly I think Riot are more likely to end up doing 4-4-4 with a 12 team format

DRX, Damwon, Gen.G, and I assume the 4th slot would be T1 if they don’t make the NA league.

Fingers crossed that Ban and Skuba can find a franchised team

Knights are out now

G2
KOI
KCorp
Fnatic
Liquid
FPX
NAVI
Vitality
BBL
Falcons

Ghost, V1, Knights, and DZ are next

Purely for yay, he’s my favorite player still in masters

Yeah, there was a point on this site where most threads were actually about the game or lighthearted baits. Now everything is just about regions, laugh threads, and people spewing political views just to win an argument. Kind of sad to see :/

I am shaking in my boots

Stax 1v5 Ace against Paper Rex on Bind

TSM’s entire strategy was to just outaim their opponent, the lack of utility is why they got away with triple duelist comps

Anyone else get nostalgia from watching this? I honestly miss the Ignition Series and First Strike.

I just had a hunch since u started using this account

GetsystheGr8*

Gen.G have a chance to move to APAC, if they applied I believe that they will get a slot

That's what I thought too. Leviatan and Fusion are both small organizations that won't be able to afford a move to LA for 4 years. Maybe 9z or Infinity would buy out one of the rosters?

George Geddes leaked it, apparently 8-10 teams per league

I’m devastated, I can’t even imagine what the players are going through right now. Sad times.

OpTic are nice in my book, they show a lot of respect to teams like DRX and Loud

Loud had a massive respect thread made, I’d be surprised to see DRX or XSET get one of those

Yeah, they need someone who can just activate and carry the team when they are falling apart. PRX have F0rsaken/Jinggg, OpTic have yay, and FNC have Derke. The best players on DRX are the support players sadly, making it harder to carry the team when they need it.
I don’t think now is a good time for a roster change though. They should make one after Champions if it still isn’t working out.

Bro didn’t watch T1 vs G2

It seems like everyone had DRX around 5th with Loud/Optic/FNC/PRX above them yet people for some reason recall them being ranked higher every time they bomb out. Personally I had them losing to Optic and FPX in playoffs in my pickem too lmao. I just don’t get the people who say they are always rated highly to underperform when 5-6th is where 90% of people placed them before the event

Better to flame us then the players though, I don’t want to see them get hated on, they tried their best and I’m proud of them

You’re never going to see your team in an international event again :)

Says the SEN fanboy

He’s always acted like this, I think you’ve got your users mixed up

Age bro

Dude most regions have been stealing those trash gimmicks for the past two years

That’s just BCJ and Ayrin mostly

Bro even Loud got less hate and BR is normally the most targeted minor region

…the most hated team in the event. People forget that they are one of the youngest squads there. I don’t care if you shit talk the fans but don’t take it out on the players.

:/

You’re objectively weird.

Rematches in this game nearly always go to the losing team, it’s unfortunate

:(
