Just tuned in so I have no idea about the circumstances but it seems like PaiN's toplaner loses his lane every single game

He lost his lane in all of yesterday's games too.

The Ezreal mid i am still not impressed by it... it maybe with works in KR, but the NA/EU/WC is just not impressive.

Also about the CiS and having a Lithuanian team representing them is the policy of Riot.

"With Week 2 of the EU LCS on the road to Moscow, the professional circuit teams will not be the only ones with important games on the line. Four amateur teams from the CIS and Baltic states will compete for the chance to become the CIS Regional Champion and advance to the International Wildcard Tournament at Gamescom alongside the European LCS Playoffs." source

We can't change it by this season, but the overall idea is good to have the servers without a instant World championship spot an other tourney to compete on the world stage. This will increase those scenes and please dont come with those comments that this a dick move by Riot vs the Koreans. To develop a healthy esport environment we need to have other regions a opportunity to let them compete with the big guns.

It's just ul with the current rules that the EU players can swap servers and can compete with LCS qualification tourney and also CiS/Turkey regionals. Next year i hope Riot is gonna make a better policy to overcome this problem about the "unfair"distribution of possibility to make it to the Wildcard tourney.

GGeu qualifies through beating arguably second or third class teams(on a global scale) over a few weeks total(online/offline), while Gambit has to beat the best teams in Europe consistently for a year to get into worlds(all offline). Seems legit.

Nothing against GGeu, they've played well, but I just want to see the best teams at worlds. Not teams that switch servers to play in every single qualifier and then beat second rate teams to get in.

tldr; IWC has been awesome, CIS qualifiers were unfair due to no gambit

You seem quite angry. You can be sure Gambit Gaming is making a lot more money/ have a lot better contracts than GGeu. Weird comparison to make.

On another note, I'm fairly certain that GGeu baited that Ahri pick from PNG

You are watching it all wrong.. this wildcard is to increase the overall skill and competition on the servers without a direct WC spot.

LCS and the chance for gambit gaming to make it into WC is something else you cant see these two things together.

You need to see it like the Olympics and that every server it need to be possible to compete on the world stage.
