The NA quals are likely to be very competitive with NP, Planet Odd, DC, coL and Freedom battling for what is presumably 1 direct slot and 1 wildcard slot. Feels like NP had a better grasp on drafts compared to other teams at Manila and now they have to find their groove again a bit. Not sure if they've had a chance to practice much due to flying from lan to lan, and a bunch of stuff they used at Manila got nerfed a bit. | ||

It's kinda difficult to get an invite with Odd, TNC being the competition despite having 2nd,3rd,4th place finishes. I guess team's going qualifiers then | ||

I'm not even sure they're locked for qualifiers with both ODD and DC looking much better on their recents LANS. Like they got completely shit stomped by VP playing meme drafts, at least DC was able to take it to a 3rd game. i see you conveniently don't count all the other events/tournaments and only count the summit LUL also come on your bias against NP is way too obvious for your opinion to actually have a value (check your own post history) User was warned for this post | ||

NA qualifier will be really stacked, it isn't the wonderland anymore. | ||

And as far as LAN performance goes, NP's performance at Manila was good. They were really close to a finals spot at an event that was very competitive. NP didn't look great at the Summit against the better teams though. | ||

It isn't good enough but due to how well NA teams are doing post-major might be the time to give NA more slots than EU considering VP,OG and TL are obviously getting an invite whoever remains doesn't have a better trackrecord than the rest of NA who isn't EG Aggreed. Excluding OG and TL, the only team in EU that is doing something is Secret. And the record of Secret isn't even that good. Most of SEA teams are really bad atm. TNC is OK. 6 invites 8 qualified teams: 1 CIS, 1 EU, 2 China, 1 SEA, 2 NA, 1 SA 2 wild cards | ||

The situation would be simpler if Secret won the Summit and got a TI invite, and Planet Odd played in the EU quals (not sure they even have a teamhouse in NA these days, afaik they just flew over to BTS house to play the last NA quals). Then you could have 7 invites, 1 EU qual and 1 NA direct slot and 1 wildcard slot for each, and the regions would be more balanced imo. | ||

Probably see one invite (EG), one qualifier and one wild card. NP could definitely lose out to Odd and DC for even getting a wild card slot, yet all three would be favourites for SA and CIS qualifiers and second favourites for EU and SEA. | ||

Though we could be wrong about SEA getting less spots again again considering what happened last year TI6 where 3 of them ended up top 8 and destroying the best EU teams. | ||

More SEA teams mean OG having more chance to be eliminated early, kappa. | ||

I suppose if you intend to get a good TI placing then you should beat all of those teams. But I think DC, Odd and NP are all better than quite a few teams that will be at TI and one of them won't make it. | ||

If NP doesn't make it, then I guess they don't deserve to be at TI. | ||
