    Guys, it was a rhetorical questions, of course China shouldn't lose slots at worlds.

    I was responding to the notion that performance at worlds determines whether you should be there. That was YOUR argument.

    Also, the second Pain game and the BKT game against EDG are perfect examples of why they should be there. They need more experience with great teams because they obviously have the ability to compete. If you limit them to their own regions and never give them the ability to compete with the world's best, they wont be able to be in a position to improve. And that exposure will improve their play, and that will improve their region.

    Whoa. Seems like you really changed your mind.
    you're failing to realize that even by that logic Brazil shouldn't have a guaranteed spot. but whatever, this is a pretty moot argument, wildcard teams improved their record overall this year at worlds though picking up 2 wins instead of 1.

    4-36, the dream

    no offense but the fact that you guys keep bringing up "OMG THEY PLAYED X Y Z, SO CLOSE" is completely irrelevant, a good team can close. any analyst will say this, anyone with any game knowledge will say this. ANYONE can get an early lead, if you put a team of bronze players out there 1 time out of 100 they would get an insane invade or something would fall in their favor and they would play it close for a little bit. the nexus exploding is the relevant factor

    someone can split the thread if they want, this is a discussion about worlds though, and since every game today was 100% predictable and there were literally no upsets there isn't much worth discussing lol

    also @bad karma, are you really using a ryze vs tf to determine any level of skill at all..? i hope you know that 1v1 is nearly impossible for a TF to win at any level... i'm not saying pawN is better than faker, but seriously, cmon

    Teams focusing gragas with cool downs one game, and now this game focusing tahm kench, both champs being very sturdy when no true burst is around. Standing in a bush for ambush and not clearing it before hand by H2k, a mistake that tsm did as well and both paid for it costing them games. Mistakes like this are some of the reasons teams cant continue a snowball and letting teams back in or sealing the game, small mistakes but one a top tier team can take advantage and snowball it.

    So the smallest region earns a WC spot and gets two wins. More than any other non-guaranteed region. Where did we say Brazil needs a guaranteed spot?

    I think having IWC spots is great for Worlds and great for League in general.

    You're just stubborn and deliberately disagreeable. Whatever.




    Today wasn't all that entertaining. Probably the most predictable group.

    if you're talking about strictly population, then yes there should be wildcard spots, 2 is about the appropriate number.

    if you factor in anything else, such as skill, a competitive spirit or anything along these lines. then no, they should definitely not.

    what i think would be better for wildcard teams is to have them in their own division sort of like the development league in the NBA.

    So now you are the judge of their "competitive spirit"? And what defines skill? Early game strength is a skill, individual play is a skill. Pain and BKT both demonstrated real skill in those areas. Their late game closure was the real problem (and even in that case Pain was able to close a game), and they need the international exposure of World's to be able improve those situations.

    BRP, just stop.

    yeah and i'm sure the teams prep for wildcard teams too, i mean all in all you're completely right they are skilled enough to hold 2 spots at worlds. 4-36 the dream. all the wildcard regions put together are probably a bit smaller than NA, and they hold 2/3rds the spots NA does and they are not even close skill-wise.

    BRP, just stop.

    paiN finished groups with the same W/L as CLG, H2k, possibly TSM and LGD could end up even worse. BKT is the weakest team in this tournament, but saying they have no competitive spirit makes me wonder what wildcards have ever done to you.

    because h2k's group and paiNs are totally comparable. and doublelift straight up said the paiN loss was CLG trolling. not to mention the CLG tilt was unreal

    i have no problems with wildcard regions being represented somewhere, i just think a tournament that should showcase the top 16 teams from major regions, wildcards should be at their own.

    again, 4-36. 4-36. 4-36. 4-36.

    You are right, IWC sucked 3 years ago, but last year they were a spoiler, and this year they were legitimately in many of their games, and won a few. It's almost like they are getting better...

    Nah, we should just exclude them because 3 years ago they sucked.

    OFC Doublelift said that, what else can you expect from him after that miserable 2nd day. Speaking of, BKT shown a lot more competitive spirit than CLG. Also, the wildcard teams already have their own tournament, it's the IWC. They can't directly qualify for worlds out of their own league...That said, I wouldn't be surprised if Brazil get's a direct spot next year and the total amount increases to 20 teams.

    impressive, i'm the one who is illogical when you guys are die-hard arguing that teams that went 2-10 this year at worlds should have a permanent spot and should be playing against the top tier teams.

    the lack of game knowledge/general sense on BG for league of legends is absolutely astounding.

    also ringthree i realize you keep spamming that i'm "BRP" and despite me not knowing or caring who that is it somehow makes for a witty retort from you, but the fact that you think 6 games on a stage is "invaluable experience" is completely mind blowing to me. i would think a full day of scrimming and analyzing top level play would be leaps and bounds better than getting your shit pushed in by a world class team, but hey i'm illogical what do i know.

    it's a great experience for them as human beings to be able to travel to play against top teams, yep. are they learning anything as players by getting stomped in 20 minutes? i doubt it

    edit: also i might mention that the 2 wins were picked up in the weakest group of the tournament, by far. like the absolute shit group where things go to die was where these 2 wins were picked up. also 4-36

    & to throw in i didn't include anything from 3 years ago, don't think there were IWC teams in 2012

    another side note for your "LOL CHINA LOSE SPOTS" argument, even if IG and LGD completely lose out, china has 5 wins, wildcards have 2 and are completely done playing

    also i was very clearly speaking of the competitive spirit of the entire tournament, taking things always on a personal level is a worrisome trend for ones self esteem

    Insults everyone.

    Doesn't like personal level insults.

    This is entertaining at least. You're taking someone saying,
    That said, I wouldn't be surprised if Brazil get's a direct spot next year and the total amount increases to 20 teams.
    as "OMG I WANT BRAZIL TO HAVE A PERMANENT SPOT OMG THEY ARE SO GOOD."

    You are just creating a very black and white picture about a discussion. It's your way or the highway.

    Addressing the "invaluable experience" issue, I think that these teams gain a lot by being on the big stage in front of the entire community. If BKT and PNG want to improve they'll go over the games and study their mistakes and study how the other teams play out their strategies. They've scrimmed a number of teams and been able to have in-person meetings and discussions with the best players and teams in the scene. How is that NOT enormously beneficial? Would they be better served by staying home in their region and playing at and in the same level of competition?

    jatt said in an interview the only teams that paiN has been able to scrim is challenger EU teams, i'm not going to continue this though. i completely understand you guys think that the 4-36 wildcard regions should have a permanent spot, i disagree.

    also if that was an insult my bad, i'm fairly sure it's called a meme though from what reddit tells me

    (also they bootcamped in EU, don't think BKT bootcamped at all)

    That wasn't what I was talking about insult-wise but whatever floats your boat.

    Go back to reddit and throw down some dank memes. They'll appreciate the edginess over there.
