... it is confirmed that NA won't finish as top 3 region at Worlds. NA is guaranteed to end up as 4th
The region of the winner of H2K vs ANX will get the #3 spot behind the #1 Korea and #2 China, as the winner team has all the rights to claim for theirselves a top 5 ranking in overall team strength at Worlds, thus surpassing NA performance given how all 3 region only sent out 1 team to KO stage
How is China guaranteed as the #2 region at worlds? You do realize that if H2k wins today, the semis will be korea vs eu right? And don't tell me that China had 2 teams in the quarters to EU's 1, The #3 (playoffs not seed) team in Eu is 2-1 vs the #1 team in China, so you can't really say that china is better than EU unless H2k fail vs ANX. Also, and this isn't related to EU btw, the chinese teams at worlds can't even come close to the koreans, I think they went a combined 2-10 vs SKT, Rox and SSG. No one is even close to the Koreans this year, I don't really care that they've lost more matches, they're still far ahead of anyone else
Update: EU grabs #3, waiting for the rest of the tournament to play out
What happens if H2K loses?
The only thing clear to me is that Korea still rules over them all. Reinventing the "better region" cycle feels bitter sweet, especially with how it'll probably get brought up again at Oakland, Gyeonggi, and less likely Barcelona
Na is garbage tbh, I only somewhat like TSM but only because of the community Dyrus has created surrounding it
