I've been writing a lot of this topic recently.
I think you're more likely to see 1 NA, 4 EU, 4 CN, 1 SEA, and 1 wildcard team from any region.
NA: Evil Geniuses
EU: Secret, C9, Empire for sure, last one is undecided but probably either Polar or NiP. Could be Alliance, but unlikely.
CN: LGD, iG, VG, Newbee
SEA: Rave
Wildcard team will be either EHome.CN, Team Malaysia, or less likely the one left out of NiP / Polar / Alliance or even less likely Team Tinker. My bet's on Team Malaysia. Rave definitely still deserve their invite; even with a bad performance at Major Allstars they are clearly on a different level from every team in SEA except Team Malaysia, who I think deserves to go too.

My crack:

SEA: 2 invites. Rave, Team Malaysia
CN: 4 invites. iG, LGD, VG, Newbee
AM: 1 invite. EG
Qualifiers I think will be similar to last year; four regions, #1 gets in, #2 will play for the last spot. no way sea gets 2 invites they get 1 invite if theyre lucky
They should get two invites, they have two teams that deserve it based on their performances this year.

NA: EG
EU: Secret, C9, Alliance, VP
CN: VG, IG, BG, LGD.cn
SEA: MY
1 qualifier each region, 1 wild card
Not sure where they put the last invite or qualifier. Both CN and EU have more good teams. Assume Newbee will get it.
|
if NoT today does something at TS3 they will get an invite
|
Love your spreadsheet qody <3
|
Newbee won 4 chinese tournements and is 2nd most earning chinese team this seasen. i think they will get an invite pretty easily
|
Ya'll are rating cloud 9 WAAAAY higher than I would.
|
well cloud 9 got top 3 in every major tournement they attended. that should be reason enough to get an invite.
|
Not this fucking year, not since their roster change
They haven't won anything since their roster change. They haven't made top 3 at anything yet.
|
Who is better than them in EU?
dont be delusional

Doesn't The Summit 3 happen after the invites go out? There's only like 2 or 3 weeks left for teams to make impressions.
I really like these predictions! I'm surprised that Hell Raisers ranks so high; I guess I wouldn't be too shocked to see them there but it would be a little strange to see them there over Rave as a direct invite. I think if I was eye-balling it, I'd put Rave in place for Hell Raisers and call it done.
I'm a bit surprised that NiP is rated so low and that Tinker is rated so high! It might be the case that Team Tinker could get a direct invite away from Rave or Hell Raisers if they do extremely well at starladder.

EG, C9, Empire, IG, Vici, Secret, NiP, VP, LGD, Malaysia/Rave.
It's so hard to call this year though, after Secret none of the teams I listed seem like T1 material

beating tier 4 SEA teams deserves a TI5 invite ?

if thats the case TT deserves an NA invite rofl

there werent many tournaments this year where they participated because they finally only play in the big ones and they are qualified for the summit and starladder and are still in the esl qualifier. in DAC they had the second best result for a european team. there arent 4 european teams with better results than c9.

MVP's had some decent placements, above teams like NiP, Na'vi and HR.
Rave, of course, got 5-6th at DAC, and are basically a shoe-in for the SEA invite provided they can get a couple more decent placements.
I don't think SEA will get 2 invites, but at the same time if a team like MVP won't get an invite, EU doesn't really deserve more than 3 either.

which tourney MVP had some decent placements ? most of the tournaments i see they are close to last place
i dont know why you would consider then better than virtus pro (asus) or empire or even NIP
rave will probably get invited because of DAC but i think it was just a one hit wonder for then

i hope rave gets the sea invite and not team my, but they seem to be slumping

Starladder 11 - 4th place. Beat Na'vi and PR 2-0.
i-League Season 2 - 4th place. Beat NiP 2-0 (though they did get a walkover vs Big God).
Both were in January.
