They have the exact same opportunities as the older servers and this is basically a handout. Hypothetically, you could have a really good team from Turkey that makes it to LCS and finishes let's say 5th and then a weaker team from Turkey that wins the Wildcard and gets to Worlds while the better one doesn't. It's a weird setup and Gambit & GG.eu have realistic chances of being in this exact situation. This sounds though as if you generally have a problem with a spot going to these regions, not only with teams trying to qualify for both. I dont agree with that notion at all. Remember spots for worlds dont depend on level of competetive teams, but on server population, so that the respective servers have adequate representation at worlds. Otherwise you might as well argue 3 spots for NA or EU are a "handout". And I think 1/4 of a worlds spot is totally appropriate for the size of the Turkish or Russian server. Also why should CIS & Turkey be just 2 more EU servers, but all the Asian servers seperated from each other? | ||

I don't know why you understood it that way. My problem is that having 2 possible paths to Worlds as opposed to every other region in the world where there is only 1 is unfair AND that teams from this regions that perform worse (AKA cannot get into LCS) have an easier path than the better teams from the very same regions (CIS & Turkey) that do get into LCS. A qualifier should never give an advantage for performing worse. I'm not talking about how good these teams are compared to other regions, I'm talking about the way this works withing the regions themselves. I don't know what's so hard to understand? The example is simple: Gambit & GG.eu are both CIS teams. Gambit has to finish top 3 in LCS EU to go to worlds. GG.eu lost to some random teams (Imperium? I think) in LCS prequalifiers and yet they have to beat weaker teams to go to worlds. Why promote mediocrity? This has nothing to do with server, language or diversity since they both technically belong to that server. Although neither actually play on that server in general. | ||

CIS is probably a poor example and idk why they're included but the WC tournament is mainly for countries with a huge (and I really mean huge) LoL population but an underdeveloped scene. Brazil and Turkey have crazy League numbers according to Riot and these are countries not particularly known for video games like Asian countries. | ||

Because you said "To make it a bit clearer - CIS & Turkey are just 2 more EU servers like EUW & EUNE". That kinda sounds like they should not have seperate spots. Before that post I already agreed to your point that a team should only be allowed to participate in one of the qualifiers. What are we even discussing about then? :D | ||

They don't even have a big gold lead but they're outplaying DP at all fronts. | ||

The overall idea is good... but lets hope that by these kind of tournaments there will be a skill increase and more competition on the servers that dont got LCS formats. | ||
