i think sword has a lot to prove at world's to show that they're not just a has-been team that rode past performance to worlds, and i think that will be a good motivator for them to do a lot better than what people are expevting

Blaze have had almost a solid month (besides their NLB debacle) to practice new strategies and get into shape.

I believe.

So Korea has 2 or 3 slots (from winning All Stars) this year?

From what I understood watching Hot 6 finals, MVP Ozone has one spot. This is for the 2nd or 3rd spot?

#1 Seed is NaJin Sword
#2 Seed is MVP Ozone
Korea gets a third seed and this Regional finals is for it.

I think it really would be much cooler if the regional finals included the top two teams in circuit points as well. That way, the top two teams would still be assured spots at Worlds, but the regional finals would determine who would get the #1 spot and bye to the quarterfinals at Worlds.

In other news, just like last year, Najin's CEO is sending Najin Shield to the World Championship on his own coin to help Sword prepare while they're in LA.

What, is that the CEO of Najin industries? Or do you mean like the headmanager of the Najin LoL teams?
Either way it would show great commitment, but the first one would be incredible actually

By the way, can any Korean speaker roughly tell me what this is about?

CEO of Najin Industries of course, as manly as Reach is, I doubt he can personally fund five people to fly to LA.

If he would strip this would be easily possible

I feel like KT is going to have to go through all of those games only to lose to SKT in the final round. Which is fine by me, I want to see Faker at worlds.
