its because franchising just isn't good. They don't want heroic up and coming stories. Underdogs. From "rags to riches". It is just going to be the same teams playing over and over

Shopify got rejected as well (look at bottom of dot esports report)

Ik there will be a lot of disagreements on some, but:
ACE 3-2 GMB
GMB 2-1 KRU
KRU 2-1 SEN
Champions was super hype for me idk
It is a sweep…but still a very close game
i mean Guild probably would've lost a 4v5!
They are on the same day, so yes they will be allowed I presume
Nah I’m not saying NA is better, just saying you can’t EMEA rules the world lmao
Happened again today. FPX wins rematch against DRX
If you call baits facts then yeah for sure
Rocket League is better than Valorant. Better formats and more exciting gameplay too
He’s honestly more of a throw than a carry…
Ghost beats NRG
NRG beats Ghost
LG beats Faze
Faze beats LG
100T beats XSET
XSET beats 100T
100T beats Faze
Faze beats 100T
Optic beats XSET
XSET beats Optic
5/5
Just an example from NA Challengers. Also has applied to other regions too (except for FPX vs Fnatic ???)
FPX WIN BECAUSE OF REMATCH CURSE
i hope its super close. I honestly don't know, it looks like faze got out of their rut but its not too clear
sorry the fluke masters 1 winner OpTic Gaming has absolutely no chance at winning another game! I'm surprised if Optic will even get a round! Optic are just terrible! Masters 1 had no other good teams totally!!!
at least Turkey is guaranteed 2 LANs every year in league!
tHeY wOn rEd BuLl HoMeGrOunD
100T literally only got out of the tournament at 5th-6th because of riot's terrible bracket for playoffs allowing playoffs before the 4th place match. And the rematch curse is very real. Out of 5 rematches in challengers 2 NA all of them result in the original loser winning:
Ghost beats NRG
NRG beats Ghost
LG beats Faze
Faze beats LG
100T beats XSET
XSET beats 100T
100T beats Faze
Faze beats 100T
Optic beats XSET
XSET beats Optic
NA:
yay Jett/Chamber
NiSMO Raze/Kayo (I think he plays skye too)
Marved Controller
C0M Initiator/IGL (i really don't know if his calling is the best, but it seemed good with EG, and he is a pretty good fragger)
Stellar Sentinel/Viper (i honestly didn't know what to put here, i honestly don't think any NA Sentinel player is particularly dominant rn, online at least).
guess he has has 6 alternate accounts
i mean i guess you would only replace alfajer with like marved or something? but that top 4 is definitely a list of some of the best LAN performing players (and alfajer has only played one series, too soon to judge whether he is a lan beast or not)
now that guiLd is out Fnatic will be exposed vs PRX and lose 2-0 and EU "ego" region with cry till Champions like last masters lmao
Well XSET only beat optic because of the rematch curse. The rematch curse happened 5 times in total throughout NA challengers 2 (out of 5 rematches).
FPX fluke win against Northeption…
NA 2nd seed wins while EU 2nd seed doesn't make top 4. Cool
100T record against EU teams:
100T 2-1 Gambit
100T 2-1 Acend
Just like how Liquid not making masters was a fluke right?
SEN placed higher in masters 3 than fnatic !!
I mean not one of the best fragging wise…
Zellsis can always play raze
FNC didn't even make Top 12 Stage 3 EMEA
nah there is a good spread of users are annoying from every region...NA...EMEA...SEA...SA...OCE...BR...LATAM. It seems like most of the Japanese people are cool tho :)
yeah but OpTic can beat DRX (also notice i have them win the rematch)
I think that Northeption, Damwon, and (maybe??) EDG are much better than them but who knows.
I think Guild's slow and methodical style could counter PRX's explosive style.
