I don't know, I can think of several that could probably do it if they went ham on lol.

top 50 at any given point, but the lower ranks are quite volatile so there are a couple hundred people in each region who have a realistic shot at making it in. d1 50+lp (room for argument on what the lp cutoff is, but you get the point) players could realistically claim to be good enough to make it into challenger, although keeping that rating a meaningful duration past demotion immunity is another matter
the start of a new season introduces even more volatility and further expands the range of players that could make challenger - i believe the first challenger in s3 was babyzeus, who ended the season at d1 32 lp
forgot to mention that challenger is being expanded to (i believe) 200 spots as well

Thanks for the correction.
Interesting...

For those who can't reddit atm.
+ Show Spoiler +The loading screen border trim you earn will display when playing in the ranked game type you earned it in. For other queues: In 5s normal or bot games the highest of your ranked 5s or solo / duo queue will be displayed. In 3s normal and bot games, borders earned from your ranked 3s will be displayed. For ARAM , custom, and dominion games, the highest of any ranked queue will be displayed. So, for example, if you earn Diamond in solo queue and Silver in Twisted Treeline, you will display a Diamond loading border in solo queue and unranked games, but you will display a Silver border in ranked Twisted Treeline. Regardless of game mode the border trim will only be displayed to your allies, as we still want to be very careful about influencing perceptions around the fairness of the matchup before the game begins.

Considering how broken the system was, the top 50, aren't actually top 50 elo, Scip still in challengers?
Scip in challenger in 5v5 afaik but he dropped in solo queue. Iirc he had around 300 points (he can probably come and correct me)

Only Ranked Qs are unique.

I think for normals, you show highest border, for ranked play, it is queue specific.
For example, I'd be Diamond in SoloQ/customs/normals, but in ranked 3's and 5's I'd be naked.
EDIT: Zedded.

You got the reward from the system where your had your highest rating. So if you had challenger in 3's but bronze in solo queue, you'´d still get challenger border. You mean challenger border on the profile or loadin screen for all ques or both, because i thought the border for loadin was que specific No Queue specificity. Challenger in 3v3 is just as valuable as on 5v5 SR, you heard it here. EDIT: Z'ed again. I thought riot said somewhere that the rewards for loadscreen would be queue specific? Or am I wrong on that? You're wrong Only partially, depending on interpretation

Dude we should swap Tolkien accounts so there are 2 NA TLers in Challenger ! :p But then the slanderous accusations of me being elo boosted would be true, and I truly will be confirmed Silver V. :<

Would you rather be challenger in aram or dominion I'm thinking aram
|
Challenger in dominion sounds the best. People wondering how the hell you can be at a high competitive level on such a poor designed map.
|
Challenger in Dominion actually sounds like an insult lol
|
Anyone else think the reason for not showing borders to opponents is a little bit weird given you can put on profile picture for your given rank previous season?

The fact taht people play Dominion enough to get to challenger is quite weird

Can anyone confirm or deny S2 borders carrying over? I wonder if my gold borders in 3s/5s will stick around or not because I heard conflicting things before patch.
