Same for clove last time, that so weird and dum.

What is event funnier is that non playoff team will never play Abyss in proplay in S4, it's so dum

That might be the reason it's not release yet, they will nerf Iso and skip the 8.11 XD

When ?
I hate the fact a stage is not fully on the same patch

Thanks, i'm convinced. So thats probably Giants that should go

Fair enough, I don't have the data.
But are you sure it was true even last year when team was bad ?

hardware ban should be for toxicity but shouldn't be perma, people can change and improve

Still they will need a franchised team, only navi representing CIS in frnachising is insane and will just make Ascention a league where RU might roll everyone (Imagine the same situation in APAC where you have more or less 0 KR team, KR org would just steamroll ascention

You judge org by their hype/fan more than their actual level. Level change fan usually stays, if tomorrow TH become a trash team who will care about them ? In a franchised league you need team that people will care even they end 10th

KOI have a huge fanbase, Giants or even Heretics would probably be remove before Koi

You confirm or you hesitate ?

Sorry I put TYL for unknown reason corecteted tho

Except EG, I tend to agree with that even if LEV and KRU will probably make playoff

864-900+3200 = 3164
(Keep in mind that bet 100 on 1.23 mean +23 in case of win (-100+123=+23)
thats why every odd are above 1, and in case of tie both team are at 2

Yup, and last year, 3 loose against 2 good team will not erase their really good perf of this year !

Loosing every match is ok, India should target long term, not short term

Short term : No
Long term yes : Yes

GE have to sacrifice 5 years of VCT with the agreement of riot to grow a competitive Indian team, we don't need a team that compete for no region

Compare them to other duelist in APAC

Stop praising duelist for being "best of their team"
Data make a huge bia

Interesting, Maxine being at the top mean the algorithm underestimate the favorite, so I may change some value to make good teams being considered more strong in comparison of bot (I am also considering addin more data on S1 so a team like CR that went good domestically in their region but bad in world would be above team they beat in S1)

Win APAC ???

PLayoffs

Totally agree, it's not a problem if they are last 0-11 at the end of 5 years, it's a long tterm plan, GA won win this year anyway

People need to learn it's ok to loose, it's okay to be bad and everyone can improve especially if you play against good teams

You really think this team can qual to PO ?

List 5 player and their roles

Why they are so mush import so ?

What team would you do ?

I think you overestimate T2 Japan, it's full of Import they are not that mush good JP player sadfully

noted

If they have one team franchised they dont need PO anymore !

India doesn't have a T1 region, and it's pretty normal, PC isn't popular in India, PC market isn't that developed, you can't conquer a market that doesn't exist yet.

But Riot doesn't totally abandon India, India is a huge market for mobile game, the mobile game is directly oriented toward them, conquer the mobile market, wait the country end being developed and the PC being something everyone have, and you will already have a big market already conquered in the future. I think in 10 or 20 years India might have their T1 region, 2020-2030 is the decades of the decline of China and the continuing rise of India. Also keep in mind that India is 5 times less GDP than China, and their GDP is BELOW Germany, so India is not ready yet for a T1 region.

I rather play in a competitive region and have 4 slot, than play in a bad region with 4 slots, being a good region is already a priviledge.

Giving more slot to a region just create a snowball effect

Naissu !

Good luck so !

You picked the big city instead of small island, kinda a good choice.
Also you will have to learn rules of Rugby to not see your cover being destroyed.
Just go to the Nearest airport, and we will do the thing.
Have you picked a first name and a size of boobs sis ?

(Wait did i just orthographied "sis", "cis", my dyslexia just ring at the worst moment

You basically have to wait that India develop their PC market, Riot create them a T1 league, and GE go to that league giving you the last spot.

Only 5% of Australia is Chinese, the number might grow in the futur andthat may make more sense, who knows...

I'll do that with honor cis, I can also provide you fake passport from French Polynesia, do you prefere Papeete or Marquesas Islands for place of birth ?

If you have 5 region --> 3 spot for every team.

Also, it's good if mid team from emerging region go to chmapion it's good, it will make them improve and bring more hype to their domestic league, new market can't be conquered if they are a snowball effect for team that come from historic market, the paradox of "You can enter only if you are a regular" must stop

Scissor may help "sis"

TBH you could both fit in Americas and APAC, both are a great match, but riot didn't grant you a slot, so you can feel you are a part of it...
So yeah I suppose you have now an occasion with China, they have a lot of team to fill, not enough of good player, and OCE have no T1 team so they can fill in.

How is the situation right now ? Still looking for ?

Because it's too mush populated, the 4 T1 region got rougly 1 000 000 000 people, China alone is APAC, so yeah they need to have their separate T1 region.

They are other region that could have 1 000 000 000 but PC market is a little bit mush undevelopped (India, MENA, Africa), maybe they will also become a T1 in the future

Well it make sense to make it in APAC, but I suppose CN lacking of good player for their 11 team gave an opportunity to OCE player, but it's weird to see it's primarily OCE player, and to see that those OCE player didn't manage to do some god performances :/

OCE player going to CN really need to be studied and explained, and with that explanation we will see if that make sens to make OCE in CN

Because lack of good player I think :/

I kinda doubt of that, Australia is a mush richer country than Thailand (x3)

Top GC are basically T3 noweadays, they compete in Premier and some of them have good result and even qual threw promo (G2G), for exemple, MIBR is right now top 3 BR

100% agree with that, but you don't have spot in China either.

Is they are a rule in China that if you play enough time in China you are not counted as an import ? If yes it's how many time ?

Sometimes it happen :c
